A Guide to Remarkable Play in Convoy Mode

Tank Commanders,

Today we mark one hundred years since armored vehicles were first used in battle. To celebrate, we're launching the new in-game event "Convoy!"

In Convoy, you find yourself on the pastures of Somme, France on September 15, 1916, when the world faced devastating new war machines for the first time. So began the journey on the road to a new world -- the world of tanks!

From 20th September to 12th October, take a trip down memory lane and fight in this new, exciting event, where combat is intense and dynamic, and the rules of play are novel and engaging.

Important: Once the Convoy event is released, the file structure of the game client will be changed, after which third-party modifications will not work for some time. In order to avoid technical problems with the game, the client will change the main folder for modifications. It is strongly recommended to refrain from installing mods and to wait for their updated version, which will be adapted to the current version of the client.

The Iron Beast
For the attacking team, the objective of "Convoy" is to escort the Mark I heavy tank to the enemy base. The tank can't be harmed by enemy fire, so the opposing team will be trying to deliver bombs to the Mark I in attempts to hinder its advance or destroy it. Each successfully delivered bomb reduces the Mark I's hit points by 20 percent and destroys its tracks. Should an enemy Lanchester slip past your defenses and detonate a bomb, locate a nearby Repair Tools pick-up. Head over, grab it, then bring it back to the injured beast so it can resume its triumphant march. If the Mark I reaches the enemy base, you win. Every second counts.	For the defending team, victory is achieved one of two ways: by destroying the enemy's Mark I, or otherwise preventing it from reaching your base within the time limit. Do not try to impede its advance by ramming: the beastly Mark I will snap up a Lanchester like it's a cookie. Use your wits and keep a watchful eye on the minimap: locate and pick up a bomb, then deliver it to the Mark I. Again, a delivered bomb explodes and immobilizes the Mark I, as well as taking 20% of its HP. If you fail to detonate the bomb, don't linger; move to grab a new one and try again. Time is of the essence! Do everything it takes to prevent the attackers from repairing their Mark I.

The Iron Beast

Two teams battle it out in Lanchester armored cars. One team protects the lumbering battle beast known as the Mark I, while the other team races to collect bombs to put it out of action. The Mark I rumbles across the battlefield from point "A" to point "B" -- can one team stop it in time, or will the other team guide it to victory?

Good to Know

The Lanchester armored car (with a unique WWI Crew) is automatically added to your account when you log into the game.
In battle, all players have unlimited respawns, so don't focus on destroying the enemy vehicles; rather, concentrate on fulfilling the main objective.
If a vehicle carrying either a bomb or Repair Tools is destroyed, the "payload" is dropped, but other players can pick it up again for a certain amount of time. If no one retrieves it, the payload reappears where it was originally found.
