Commanders!

Here's what's left to do:

Claim the Big Rewards!

While the Well-Deserved Reward will be available until the end of 2026, you can claim a free Tech Tree branch of your choice only until mid-January, when Update 2.1.1 hits.

Get Large Boxes While You Still Can

Along with guaranteed gold, you may find additional presents inside Large Boxes: more gold, credits, 3D styles and attachments, plus other goodies, including six new high-tier vehicles. Among the latter, two are Tier X special vehicles (for the first time in Holiday Ops history).

OBTAIN LARGE BOXES NOW!

BZT–70

NEW Tier X special Chinese heavy tank

Despite its limited mobility, this gargantuan heavy on four tracks can be highly efficient due to its impressive armor and powerful gun. It is a classic assault tank, designed to hold positions and push through enemy lines. The outstanding one-time damage of its 180 mm gun is balanced by challenging accuracy and handling.

Coccodrillo

NEW Tier X special Italian medium tank

The armor plates on the turret and hull of this support medium are very well angled, and its mobility is sufficient to take key positions in time. The 127 mm gun features a three-shell autoreloader with a rather long intra-clip reload and the same reload time for every round. You can choose between cyclic-like shooting (with any round as the "base" one) and taking two or three successive shots for a damage surge.

Projet Louis

NEW Tier IX Premium French light tank

This Premium light tank with an unusual layout carries a 75 mm autoloader gun. The clip holds a large number of shells and has a very short intra-clip reload and a quick full reload. It is built for near-constant firing, dealing small but steady damage to enemies. The main disadvantage of the vehicle is its large size.

TBT

NEW Tier IX Premium Czechoslovakian heavy tank

Like its researchable counterparts, this Premium heavy has a two-shell autoloader. Unlike them, it also boasts excellent hull and turret armor, and has no prominent cupolas on the turret, which makes the TBT more effective in positional battles. The vehicle also has decent mobility. Its weaknesses include a long reload time and mediocre gun handling.

Jagdpanzer E 90

NEW Tier IX Premium German tank destroyer

This Premium vehicle is a classic turretless assault tank destroyer with good frontal armor, which is especially efficient against standard rounds. In addition to its high one-time damage, the TD's gun has good handling parameters, allowing the Jagdpanzer E 90 to deal damage consistently while performing its primary task of pushing through enemy lines.

Stridsyxa

NEW Tier VIII Premium Swedish medium tank

This Premium medium with reliable frontal armor carries a 105 mm gun with convenient elevation and depression angles, good handling, and strong damage per minute. Thanks to its good mobility, the tank can change positions swiftly and employ a wide range of combat tactics.
