The night sky is about to be illuminated by the bright glow of lanterns marking the start of Lunar New Year! And its symbol—the strong and proud Ox—is here, ready to accompany you into battle and help you score victories that will earn you Red Envelopes.

By winning battles, you'll earn Red Envelopes from February 10 to February 19. Your first victory of the day will net you 5 Red Envelopes, which is exactly how much you need to complete one event stage and get rewards!



All other victories will earn you 1 Red Envelope each. Collect them to complete all 9 Stages faster! Once you do, you'll unlock another stage that can be completed for 5 Red Envelopes, earning you 50,000 credits, up to 10 times.

To kick off the new lunar year, World of Tanks Blitz will celebrate Lichun—the beginning of spring. Our battlefields will prove fruitful by providing resources, Collector vehicles, camos, and other rewards to hard-working and fearless commanders.

[h2]How to Get Rewards?
[/h2]
To participate in the event, you need a Tier III vehicle or higher.
Operation Lichun has two reward progressions, each consisting of 80 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to regular Pass owners. In other words, all players. The lower (gold) progression is only available to Premium Pass holders. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Coins: 10 Coins = 1 Level.

Although your Level increases automatically, you will need to collect your rewards manually. At the beginning of the Operation, 4 levels will be unlocked.

You can earn up to 30 Coins per day. Premium Pass owners enjoy access to an additional mission that provides an extra 10 Coins. With Premium Pass, you can earn 40 Coins a day and unlock 4 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your Level using gold.

[h2]When Does Operation Lichun Take Place?
[/h2]

• CIS: from February 1, 8:00 (MSK) to February 28, 8:00 (MSK)
  
• Europe: from February 1, 13:00 (CET) to February 28, 13:00 (CET)
  
• North America: from February 1, 5:00 (PT) / 8:00 (ET) to February 28, 5:00 (PT) / 8:00 (ET)
  
• Asia: from February 1, 14:00 (UTC+8) to February 28, 14:00 (UTC+8)
  

[h2]What Rewards Can I Get?
[/h2]There will be huge amounts of resources, themed camos and avatars, a profile background, certificates for XP bonuses for victories, and Collector tanks!
With Premium Pass, the T-28 Tier IV medium tank awaits you at Level 1. The accurate, rapid-firing gun, decent damage, and fast turret make it an ideal support vehicle.



And at Level 35, the Ox tank will be added to your Garage. Its sloped armor can withstand the fiercest moments of intense battles, while the good dynamics and nice maximum speed will carry you to victory, no matter the obstacle. The large pointed horns and massive ring will strike terror in your foes! That is the
Ox Tier VI medium tank.

[h2]For Observant Tankers[/h2]

The Free Camera function is available for PC/Mac users. It can be enabled either by pressing the "C" key or clicking the corresponding icon in the lower-left corner of the replay interface.

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]

We're continuing to make balance improvements to middle-tier vehicles. Thus, the TOG II* will receive increased maximum speed, engine power, and frontal turret and hull armor. After the update release, the technical characteristics of four tank destroyers will be changed. The penetration of AP and APCR shells will improve for the Nashorn, Jagdpanther, and Jagdpanzer IV. The latter will also take half a second longer to reload. Last but not least, two guns of the AMX 13 90 will receive a reduced magazine reload time and improved firing accuracy.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• The game is no longer supported on devices with Android 4.2 and 4.3. To continue playing, please update your device to version 4.4 or higher.
  
• The bug where a blown-off turret caused damage while moving/pushing it was fixed.
