What's the most important thing you should always take with you when going on a space journey? You're right as always, Commander! Holiday cheer! Without it, the rocket simply won't start. But now that we think of it, rocket fuel will also come in quite handy.
So get your holiday cheer going, enter Gravity Force, and embark on a space journey to Everfrost! Fight in low gravity and explore the fantastic landscapes of the new map!

The Yuletide Express is picking up steam! Hmm, the conductor is knocking at the compartment door for some reason... An emergency stop? Are there problems with my documents? Don't worry, the occasion is more than pleasant! You've got a gift! Everyone who's played nicely, fired accurately, and led their team to victory in 2020 deserves a reward. You're among them, of course!

Enter the game by January 8 and you'll find your gift in Storage! Check out what it contains:

• Т-15
  
• Certificate for the Christmas Cheer camouflage for the T-15
  
• 202,100 credits

We wish you happy holidays and thumping victories in 2021!

From December 18 to January 8, pop into the Auction and celebrate the holidays by adding to your collection of rare vehicles!

The Auction lasts for three weeks:
• Week 1: December 18 to December 25
• Week 2: December 25 to January 1
• Week 3: January 1 to January 8

At the beginning of each week, 9 lots with rare Premium vehicles go on sale. Their prices drop every day! But keep your eyes open: the number of tanks is limited and, if you wait too long, they can be snapped up by other bidders. At the end of the week, the vehicles are removed from the Auction, even if they didn't sell out. Then the next week of the Auction starts and 9 new lots go on sale.
You can find the list of vehicles available for purchase on the Auction page.

The Garage is covered in snow, a magical train is tooting along, the ground crunches beneath your feet, distant planets are approaching... This Update is going to be loaded, magical, and festive! We'll tell you about the events a bit later, so for now, here's a look at the main changes, balance tweaks, and fixes.

[h2]ATGMs for Fun Modes[/h2]Missiles will be removed for the guns of the T92E1 and XM551 Sheridan. Instead of ATGMs, they'll be able to use HEAT shells with the same penetration and damage. However, fans of missiles will still have an opportunity to fire them as such players will receive the ATGM-equipped Sheridan Missile Collector tank as a gift. This tank can play in Uprising, Gravity Force, Burning Games, and other fun modes.



[h2]Holiday Camos[/h2]
Ideal for a cold winter, warm camos like the cozy Grandma's Gift, dreamy Starlight Night, and scented Evergreen are making their return to the camo selection menu. Dress up and have fun!



The Sinister Traces, Galaxy, Vertigo, Shattered Flames, and Flux camos will no longer be available for purchase.

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
Many Tier VI tanks became more effective: the T-2020 is stronger, the Bat.-Chatillon 25 t reloads shells in its magazine faster, and the KpfPz 70 penetrates more frequently and inflicts more damage. Some changes affected high-tier Swedish and British tanks.
