Call to Mars: Martian Containers and the TL-7!

Commanders,

Our Call to Mars event has arrived! In this guide, we introduce Martian Containers and take a closer look at the big-ticket items—Premium vehicles and customization items—you could find in Martian Containers. We also have a guide on how to play the IX TL-7 .

Let's take a look!

How Martian Containers Work

You can purchase Martian Containers only in the Premium Shop, with a daily limit of 500 containers. These containers come in bundles with 5, 15, 50, or 75 containers and an equal number of battle missions for ×5 XP.
For every 50 containers opened, you're guaranteed 1 of the 10 Premium vehicles; if a vehicle drops before the 50th box, the counter resets.
You can only receive vehicles you don't already have in your Garage; once you have all 10 vehicles, the next vehicle drop will grant its value in gold instead.
If you don’t open all of your Martian Containers in time, they will open automatically at the end of the event.

GET TO KNOW The TL-7 BETTER!

Introducing the IX TL-7 , exclusively available from the Martian Containers, don't miss this opportunity to add an American four-round autoloader to your Garage. For those of you who find one, here's what you should know prior to hitting the battlefield.

The first American tank destroyer with an autoloader in the game, the TL-7 is all about mid- to close-range burst fire. The 120 mm cannon's four-round clip can dish out 360 HP per round, with an intra-clip 2.3 s reload time, for a potential 1,440 DPM. Yet, drawbacks abound: The 0.4 m dispersion is low for a tank destroyer, while 252 mm of penetration is average among it's Tier IX peers. Shell velocity fares a bit better, with 1060 m/s for AP, and 1429 m/s on APCR rounds.

The TL-7 has 1,500 HP, which is on the shallow end of the pool for its Tier and class. Spaced armor on the turret and hull is helpful, but with only 5 mm thickness, it's susceptible to HEAT rounds. Due to the shape of the turret, the closer it gets to the hull, the straighter the armor becomes, thus the less effective it is. Angling and side-scraping are key to survival against incoming fire, as the vehicle's armor isn't thick enough to reliably block enemy shots. Also, remember to keep the large commander cupola hidden!

The IX FV4201 Chieftain Proto is a multi-role heavy with an incredibly tough turret and decent frontal armor, great gun depression, and a respectable 400 HP of alpha damage shot. Like its Tier X brother in arms, this heavy boasts an impressive mix of characteristics, allowing it to dominate positional battles or win one-on-one duels.

The VIII ASTRON Rex 105 mm has plenty of things going for it. From an imposing 5-round autoloader to a 52 km/h top speed and decent 390 m view range, it can carry its weight in every situation. Use the great 60 deg/s traverse speed to flank enemies and unleash 1,600 HP of damage in 16 seconds.

Boasting great burst potential, the VIII T77 has reason to be confident. Thanks to its fast shell cycling and 360 HP of alpha damage, it can deal 1,080 HP of damage in just four seconds! And with 232/299/60 mm of penetration and –8° of gun depression, it knows how to leave a lasting mark, even in the most inopportune moments.

The VIII T-44-100 is a jack-of-all-trades with an answer to every challenge the battlefield might present. Go on the offensive with 2,000 DPM, a short 2-second aiming time, and a quick rate of fire. Or use its tough turret and spaced armor skirts to defend the base before launching a counterattack with its 52 km/h top speed.

The VIII KV-4 KTTS boasts a rear-mounted turret and a striking similarity to the KV-4 heavy tank. The tank destroyer's low maneuverability and mediocre mobility are counterbalanced by well-sloped frontal armor that makes it difficult to damage. It is armed with a 107 mm high-penetration gun that deals 360 HP of damage per shot and has a reload time of under nine seconds.

The VIII IS-3A resembles other squat, bouncy-turret Soviet heavies, but it can fire three shells in rapid succession from its 122 mm cannon. Its autoreloading mechanics offer a great burst potential of 1,170 HP of damage, ensuring you never go too long without another shot in the three-shell clip.

The VIII Bofors Tornvagn combines a thick 260 mm frontal armor and unusual turret design that are almost impenetrable. The 120 mm gun hits like Mjölnir and can slice through 248 mm of enemy armor with standard shells and up to 297 mm with its lightning-fast special APCR shells.

The VIII E 75 TS is a powerful and mobile German tank. With a top speed of 45 km/h and a good power-to-weight ratio, it is one of the fastest heavy tanks in its tier. Use the solid frontal turret armor to take opponents head-on and ram into them. Alternatively, keep your distance and take out enemies with a powerful cannon that deals 360 HP of alpha damage and a brilliant 227 mm of penetration.

The VIII KV-5 is a true heavy tank behemoth, with a massive 1,780 HP and almost impenetrable armor. Its 107 mm gun packs a powerful punch with a reasonable rate of fire that can chip away at enemy HP. Plus, its 40 km/h top speed, combined with 100 tons of steel, allows it to charge straight into battle, crushing anything in its way.
