Tank Commanders!
This Season, Frontline will be available in 4 Stages rather than the previous Episode format, each lasting for a week. It will also share a progression system with Steel Hunter, known as the Expedition. Each Stage will reward you with up to 3 tokens, the Expedition event currency, instead of the Prestige Points of last Season. Use the tokens you've earned here and by playing Steel Hunter to redeem any two of three exclusive reward vehicles:
- The Object 777 Version II, a brand-new Soviet heavy tank
- The Char Futur 4, a unique new French medium tank
- The AE Phase I, an American heavy tank with four segmented tracks
All these vehicles feature a built-in Large Repair Kit as a handy bonus. Please note that if you already have the AE Phase I on your account, you will not be able to redeem a second one for tokens.
Also, instead of 30 Frontline Tiers, there will only be 15 Tiers per Stage. Completing them will require almost half as much Frontline Experience as the last Season. Upon reaching the final Tier, you will receive all 3 tokens for that Stage, regardless of how well you have performed in battle, as well as special daily missions, which will grant you even more rewards.
It won’t be possible to replay any missed Frontline Stages, so skipping one may mean losing the opportunity to earn its tokens. After the completion of each Stage, progress is reset and you’ll begin the next Stage the following month from Tier 1.
Check out the mission conditions and further information in the official Frontline 2020 announcement!
Rewards
As usual, good performance in Frontline will bring you heaps of rewards: credits, directives, and Personal Reserves, as well as bonds. They include the following:
- Rewards for each Frontline Tier – for those who want to play casually.
- Rewards for completing daily missions – for those who have completed all 15 Tiers and want more!
- And finally, exclusive Tier IX Tanks – a worthy reward for perseverance and progress through the Expedition!
Be sure to join the event so you don't miss out!

The map has 5 pillboxes. As soon as attackers capture at least one sector within the 2nd defensive front they can embark on their primary mission and destroy Pillboxes: long-range guns, each with their own HP pool. Pillboxes are protected by armored hoods and virtually impenetrable from head-on. Aim at their rear, where there is significantly thinner armor. The attacking team win as soon as they destroy 3 pillboxes.

Other Game Mechanics
Respawns, Resupply Points, and Combat Reserves (that can help win even in a desperate situation) will be available in Frontline mode.
Respawns
- At the beginning of each battle, each player will have one respawn.
- Every 5 minutes, one more respawn will be added, but you cannot accumulate more than 2.
- The total number of respawns is unlimited.
- Players will not be able to respawn in zones where 12 or more allies are already fighting.
- There can only be 1 SPG per zone; if there is already one in the current zone, you will not be able to respawn in an SPG.
- In the previous Season, you could only choose the direction in which to respawn, and the specific point of your entry into the game was determined automatically. This time, players on the attacking team will have up to 4 dynamic respawn points to choose from, and the defending team up to 6, including those behind the front lines. The defending team has more respawn points because they must be able to fall back and repel the enemy’s attack if it breaks through to the pillboxes.
- If the player's vehicle is destroyed and there are respawns available, the player will be transferred to the respawn screen, where they can select an appropriate vehicle and a respawn point within the zones controlled by the player's team. Respawn points that are under attack are highlighted in red and are not available.
- Changing lanes in battle: This feature was introduced due to the large map size. It can be useful when you have destroyed the enemy on a flank and captured the last zone, and need to move to another flank quickly to support your allies. Pressing J will display the vehicle selection panel, and allow you to choose another vehicle and respawn in another flank. This will cause your current vehicle to self-destruct after a short countdown; smart deployment of this feature may lead to victory in certain situations.
Combat Reserves
There are 6 types of Combat Reserves available for use in Frontline mode. You may select them in the Garage, but only before entering battle. The Combat Reserve slots are displayed to the left of the standard consumables.
Each vehicle type has a certain number of slots for Combat Reserves:
- Three slots for heavy tanks
- Two slots for tank destroyers and medium tanks
- One slot for light tanks and SPGs
This distribution will help each vehicle type influence the battle in different ways.
Each Combat Reserve has 5 levels, and can be upgraded using the Combat Reserve Points received for earning Frontline Tiers. You will need to manually unlock and upgrade your Combat Reserves once you have sufficient Points.

Smoke ScreenResupply Points
In addition to a base, every zone has a Resupply Point where players can replenish shells and restore vehicle durability, damaged vehicle modules, and injured crew members.
- If a player's vehicle receives damage during repair, the process is paused for 5 minutes.
- Once a vehicle is fully repaired, the Resupply Point becomes unavailable for 3 minutes.
At the end of the battle, players will be charged the full cost of the restored vehicle durability, but no more than 100% of the vehicle’s durability.
Examples:
- A player repairs a vehicle three times, for 20% of full vehicle durability each; they will pay for repairing 60% of the vehicle's durability.
- a player repairs a vehicle three times, for 40% of full vehicle durability each: they will pay for repairing 100% of the vehicle's durability, instead of 120%. This applies even if the vehicle has been destroyed in the meantime.
- Thus, any repairs over the vehicle's full durability are free of charge.
The total cost of replenished shells will also be charged.
- In this case, if the number of spent shells exceeds the ammo rack's capacity, the ammo cost will be deducted from the credits earned in battle.
Consumables work in a similar way to Random Battles: they will be deducted if used at least once, irrespective of the total number of uses.

Frontline Progression System
Improving Your Rank
In Frontline, there are six Ranks, ranging from Private to General. You may improve your Rank by earning experience in battle through the effectiveness of your combat actions. The more total experience you earn from all tanks that participated in battle, the higher the Rank you will receive.
Ranks are updated live during the battle, so you can easily track your progress!
Depending on your Rank, you will receive an experience multiplier, which will be applied after the battle to the total net experience of all tanks used in battle.
