In keeping with the tradition of past years, the 13th anniversary will be a nice and relaxed beach party. Join us for days filled with great fun at the beach. Let your tanks feel the sand between their tracks and have a good time in the sun. But don’t forget to cover them up with the three thematic summer 2D styles, so they won’t get a sunburn.

The “Azure Shore”, “Sea sunset”, and “Beach Bungalow” styles will keep the summer feeling going even after the party has ended.

What if tanks were outfitted with rapid-firing automatic cannons? What would the engagements between these steel behemoths be like? Well, now you can participate in these battles yourself—in the new Overwhelming Fire mode! Play in eight unconventional vehicles that are unlike anything you have seen in the game so far. Overwhelming Fire battles will be populated exclusively by these strange and wonderful armored beasts, so prepare for a whole new gameplay experience! There will be three launches of the mode, and you will be able to complete its special missions three times for a total of 1,200 .

[h3]Overwhelming Fire[/h3]

From August 11 at 10:00 to August 13 at 23:59 CEST (UTC+2)

From August 18 at 10:00 to August 20 at 23:59 CEST (UTC+2)

From August 25 at 08:00 to August 27 at 23:59 CEST (UTC+2)

[h2]The Vehicles[/h2]

Barring their commanders, the eight vehicles available in Overwhelming Fire are the mode’s main stars. It’s jarring just how out of the ordinary they are. Sure, two barrels are nothing unusual these days, but what about a quad-barreled vehicle? Or ones that have six rotating barrels? Fancy a Maus with twin flak cannons? Or a Yoh whose automatic cannon uses a cartridge belt and has a rate of fire so intense that it can overheat? Or an arty that fires rocket salvos? Make sure to try them all!

[h2]The Rules[/h2]

• Only the eight special vehicles created for the mode can participate in Overwhelming Fire battles. They are all the same tier.
  
• The matchmaker will limit the maximum number of B-C CS 59s (rocket arty) and EBR 40s on a team to two of each. The rest of the vehicles can be mixed and matched with no limits.
  
• Random Battles rules apply: 15v15, with Standard Battles, Assault, and Encounter Battles possible.
  
• Battles can take place on any maps used for Tier X Random Battles (except Grand Battles maps).
  
• You don’t earn credits or XP in the Overwhelming Fire mode, but you don’t spend credits on repairs, ammo, etc. either.
  
• Battle Pass Points and bonds cannot be earned in the mode. Credits and gold are not added to their respective Reserves.
  
• You cannot complete missions except those created specifically for the mode.
  
• Platoons are available, but Platoon bonuses don‘t apply.

[h2]The Rewards[/h2]

Playing in vehicles wielding a certain number of autocannons (or a couple of rocket launchers in one case) is fresh and original, plus you can earn some bonds by playing and completing special missions.

The missions will reset between the event launches, so you can complete the sequence three times and receive 1,200 in total!

Get ready to take part in a whole new kind of armored combat. Spray it, Commanders!

Have a great time celebrating!

World of Tanks marks its anniversary and invites you all to the celebration, lasting from August 10 at 06:00 CEST through August 21 at 06:00 CEST (UTC+2)! Take on special Anniversary Missions, receive a brand-new Tier V Premium light tank, earn Anniversary Coins to spend in the Anniversary Store, and enjoy yourself to the max!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Log In Daily and Complete Anniversary Missions[/h2]
Complete Anniversary Missions and log in to the game daily to receive Anniversary Coins to trade for various items in the Anniversary Store. You can receive up to 48 Coins from missions and by logging in, plus one additional Coin for finding a hidden Easter egg! Anniversary Missions will activate daily, but all will expire only on August 21, and any number of missions can be completed in parallel. The Anniversary Store will close on August 28.

[h2]Spend Anniversary Coins[/h2]
Go to the Anniversary Store section in the in-game Store to have a look at assorted valuables you can get for Anniversary Coins. These include six 2D styles (including four new ones) that would look good on a tropical beach, a bunch of decals radiating fun beach party vibes and commemorating important events of the game’s 13th year, improved (bond) equipment of your choice, credits, Personal Reserves, consumables, and more.



[h2]Obtain the AMX 13 (FL 11)[/h2]
This Premium Tier V French light tank is a hybrid vehicle that combines the hull of the AMX 13 and the turret of the Panhard EBR wheeled armored car with a 75 mm gun—similar to those of other French light tanks. Its reduced weight makes the AMX 13 (FL 11) very mobile, and in addition to high forward and reverse top speeds, it possesses good camo values. You only need to complete eight Anniversary Missions to obtain this vehicle.



[h2]Use Bonuses and Discounts[/h2]
From August 10 at 06:00 CEST through August 21 at 08:00 CEST (UTC+2), here's what you can enjoy:
