It's always cool to earn an Ace Tanker Mastery Badge after a fierce battle. But now it's twice as cool! Success in battles will not only bring you fame, honor, and mountains of XP and credits, but also Loza's M4-A2 Sherman, a Soviet Tier VI Premium tank.

Here's the plan: do your best in battles and earn Mastery Badges. Each Badge will earn you parts of the certificate for Loza's Sherman. Collect 215 parts and the vehicle is yours!

MORE DETAILS IN THE GAME

Mark your calendars! From March 5 to March 31, heated battles are on for a sweet spot at the top of the Ratings, as well as the race to get cool rewards like the IS-6 Fearless! Advance through the Leagues and collect a striking camo, gold, an avatar, and XP and Credit bonuses. And, most importantly, get your own powerful Soviet tank! The list of the Top Ten players of the month feels empty without you there...

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!


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.


• 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)


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!



More Details in the Game

[h2]Meet the Czechoslovakians![/h2]
Joining the lineup of the European nation is a branch with five researchable Tier VI–X medium tanks! They are all dynamic fighters with powerful weapons. Three tanks feature quick autoloaders, while two boast classic cannons with high penetration and impressive single-shot damage. At Tier X, the fast and maneuverable TVP T 50/51 awaits with a four-shell magazine-based gun capable of dealing 1,240 HP of damage!



[h2]For Newbies and Skilled Players[/h2]
Here's an opportunity for all players to enlarge their tank collection! From now on, after completing the tutorial, each new commander will take part in Steel Raid. This event includes a special mission that will help players better understand the game mechanics while rewarding success with the Т6Е1 and other resources. Experienced players can exchange Mastery Badges for Loza's M4-A2 Sherman during the Assemble event.
[h2]Updating Sound![/h2]
We’ve started the process of replacing the game’s sound engine with a better one, which will enable us to gradually perform a complete sound renewal. At first, the new engine will only be available for some devices. Later on, it will be introduced for all platforms. We haven't made any major changes yet. You may notice a slight difference in the tone of sounds in battle and in the Garage, which might seem a little unusual at first. In the future, all the old files will be replaced, the game sounds will become richer, and national voiceovers and much more will be introduced.
[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• Support for iPad 3 is ending as its technical characteristics can no longer provide a comfortable gaming experience, even at low settings. In the future, this device will stop receiving updates.
  
• The bug where the provisions panel was displayed instead of the modifications/abilities panel after the battle start countdown in Mad Games and Uprising was fixed.
  
• The bug where the player's position and minimap markers weren't displayed for the platoon mate after the player respawns in Uprising was fixed.
  
• The bug where the name of the tank was displayed in white despite its type on the Rating: Favorite Tanks screen was fixed. Premium tanks are now displayed in gold and Collector tanks in blue.
  
• The areas where vehicles would become 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.
