You can install the camouflage on the Tier VII–X vehicles that you drove most often when fighting this series of Rating Battles. You can get up to four warpaints for a corresponding League: one for each eligible vehicle tier, as long as you have fought at least 50 battles in vehicles of that tier.

If the camouflage cannot be installed on a vehicle or if it is already installed, you will receive 250,000 credits as compensation.

[h2]This month, bonuses for victories will still apply[/h2]

  • +10% to XP for Tier VII vehicles
  • +15% to XP for Tier VIII vehicles
  • +20% to XP for Tier IX vehicles
  • +25% to XP for Tier X vehicles


Please note that this is a fixed bonus for winning a battle, not an increase in the total amount of XP and credits earned.

The New Year's Auction: The Last Stage!



Season's greetings, Commanders!

My workshop is loaded with rare tanks again, and that means it's time to start the third and final stage of the Holiday Auction! Hurry up! The number of vehicles is limited!

To the Auction
CIS | Europe | North America | Asia

The Auction offers you an opportunity to purchase rare vehicles. The main feature of the Auction is that the vehicle prices are lowered every day, but the amount of vehicles is limited, so they might go out of stock at any moment. Don't miss this chance to add rare vehicles to your collection!

How does the Auction work?

The Auction is held in three stages. At the beginning of the first stage, only some of the lots will be up for sale—five vehicles, to be exact. For the next stage, another five tanks will become available for purchase, while the original lots will be removed within an allotted time period, even if they haven't sold out. And after that, this scenario will repeat once again. You'll always find the list of vehicles available for purchase on the Auction page.

Here are the lots of the third stage!

Lots for January 1–9
Attention: On January 9, the Auction will close!

The T28 Defender and IS-3 Defender
Despite their names, these vehicles will perform great not only on the defense, but on the attack as well. Both fighters have reliable frontal armor and powerful, penetrative guns with three-shell magazines.

The Predator Ultramarines and Vindicator Ultramarines
These are the two space marines, the brutality of which can only be compared to their own combat might. They feature thick frontal armor and an impressive armament. The Predator UM wields a quick-firing gun with a three-shell magazine while the Vindicator UM uses a devastating gun with an average damage of 640 HP per shot.

M60
Wonder-Tank and Jack of All Trades: it can cover allies, defend the base, and even arrange a diversion behind enemy lines. It boasts impressive mobility and a quick-firing gun with a short aiming time and great depression and elevation angles.

Take a look at the final five lots of the Auction and add some rare vehicles to your collection!

It's also time for us to wrap it up!

The New Year's Day Auction: Stage 2!



Season's greetings, Commanders!
My cozy workshop is loaded with rare tanks again, and that means it's time to start the second stage of the Holiday Auction!

Lots available from December 25 to January 1
Attention: these lots will be removed from the Auction on January 1!

Dracula
Flight like a butterfly with the bite like a vampire. Featuring a gun with good damage and great stabilization, this tank's fantastic speed and maneuverability make many light tanks green with envy.
They say that the Dracula fears garlic and wooden stakes, but I dare not give it a try.

Helsing
Strong and stern just like any good monster hunter should be. It owns good speed and an accurate, quick-firing gun that lets loose two shells at a time. Rumor has it the Helsing has little love for the Dracula.

Gravedigger
It features solid frontal armor that deflects shells to complement its quick-firing gun with a six-shell magazine. The name says it all. A battlefield encounter will bring opponents no good. If you're lucky, you'll emerge with a one-way ticket to the Garage. If you're not... Well, let's not even think about it.

AMX 30 B
The AMX 30 B used to dream about being a racing car, but then it changed its mind and became a tank. Running around the battlefield at speeds of up to 65 km/h, it fires at the enemy with its 105 mm gun that has great depression and elevation angles. It'll be no time before it starts to outrace shells!

M4A3E8 Fury
This movie star tank is as rare as finding a unicorn, a phoenix, and a mermaid together. Feeling right at home on the battlefield, this celebrity has a decent amount of HP and a quick-firing gun with good stabilization and comfortable depression and elevation angles.
