A very rich and eventful update is coming your way. Cosmic rewards, flying vehicles, an exploring tank on a far-away planet... About all that and more, you'll learn in due time. In the meanwhile, here are the latest balance changes and improvements!
[h2]It's Getting Hot in Here
[/h2]You'll get to try out new consumables for Tier VII–X tank destroyers from the Grille 15 branch! The Reticle Calibration consumable will reduce gun dispersion and aiming speed by 40 percent within 20 seconds. At the same time, the Spall Liner provision will help you reduce damage from High-Explosive shells by 20 percent.
[h2]New Avatars for Victories
[/h2]
Win Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond League rating battles during WoT Blitz seasons.



[h2]Color Accent
[/h2]The camo selection menu welcomes two newcomers: the daring Urban Jungle and the even more daring Unexpectable camouflage.



The Grandma's Gift, Starlight Night, Evergreen, Oxidized Metal, Digital Forest, Fire Sentinel, and Steppe Snowstorm camos will no longer be available for purchase.

[h2]Balance Changes
[/h2]
Most changes affected Tier V–VI vehicles. Medium tanks became more resilient and maneuverable. The heavies received a raise in HP and, in some cases, firepower. Tank destroyers became more accurate.
[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs
[/h2]
  • Areas where vehicles became stuck were fixed and some models of buildings and objects were adjusted for some maps.
  • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

Operation Colosseum

The air is filled with the sounds of the jubilant crowd. Everyone is here today for just one reason: they all want to witness the mightiest gladiator battle this colosseum has ever seen. They are skilled, invincible warriors, who make each encounter look like a graceful dance. Don't make them wait! Fight with grace, show your mastery, and earn piles of rewards!

How to Get Rewards

To participate in the event, you'll need a Tier III vehicle or higher.
Operation Colosseum has two reward progressions, each consisting of 80 levels. The upper progression is available to everyone with a regular Pass, meaning all players. The lower progression is only available to Premium Pass holders. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Galeas: 10 Galeas = 1 level.



Although your Level increases automatically, you will need to collect your rewards manually.

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

When Does Operation Colosseum Take Place?

• CIS: from March 1 at 8:00 (MSK) to March 29 at 8:00 (MSK)
• Europe: from March 1 at 13:00 (CET) to March 29 at 14:00 (CEST)
• North America: from March 1 at 5:00 (PT) / 8:00 (ET) to March 29 at 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET)
• Asia: from March 1 at 14:00 (UTC+8) to March 29 at 14:00 (UTC+8)

What Rewards Can I Get?

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, at Level 1, you'll get the Valentine Mk. IX. It's a Tier IV light tank with a penetrative gun and decent armor for its class. It's perfect for supporting your allies from the second line.



And at Level 35, the Magnus, a unique Tier VI heavy tank, will be added to your Garage. This severe, uncompromising gladiator deals with enemies quickly and dramatically, making the spectators cheer with rapture! This tank’s accurate gun nimbly hits the vulnerable spots in the enemy's armor while its solid frontal armor protects it from enemy attacks!
