UPDATE: Due to technical reasons, the Day of the Dead 2D style has been replaced by the Testudo Formation 2D style in the Autumn Golden Armory Boxes. If you have received a Testudo Formation 2D style from the Boxes prior to October 22 and would like to have it exchanged for the Day of the Dead 2D style instead, please log in to your Wargaming.net account and create a Player Support ticket.
Commanders!
You don't need to wait for a special occasion to treat yourself to some sweet gifts. You can already start unpacking the Armory boxes, which contain tons of cool and valuable items.
This includes Premium vehicles making their exclusive debut on the APAC server: the Tier VIII Jagdtiger Prototype tank destroyer, the Tier VIII Udarniy heavy tank, and the main newcomer of the fall, the TL-7. This maneuverable Tier IX tank destroyer boasts good turret armor and a devastating 4-shell autoloader that can knock 1,440 HP out of an opponent in less than 7 seconds.
The Autumn Golden Armory event starts on October 20, and you can purchase autumn bundles featuring these boxes in the Premium Shop for real money at a great discount. Don't miss your chance to grab some long-awaited presents and add more vehicles to your collection, as well as replenish your Depot stock.
Autumn Golden Armory
Available from October 20 at 07:30 (UTC+8) through October 26 at 00:00 (UTC+8)
Autumn Golden Armory boxes will be available in the Premium Shop on the web portal.
You can also purchase at the in-game Shop via a special banner under the "Best" tab.
Important: Keep your account secure! Be wary of accepting gifts from players or accounts you don't know -- fraudulent gifts can block both accounts -- and don't freely share your own information!
Make purchases only with your own correct login information.
Single item bundles contain 1 day of WoT Premium Account and one Autumn Golden Armory box. Bigger bundles allow you to snag great discounts as well as more days of WoT Premium Account and a higher chance of receiving a good gift from the box.
There'll be bundles with 5 days of WoT Premium Account and 5 boxes, 20 days of WoT Premium Account and 20 boxes, and 50 days of WoT Premium Account and 50 boxes.
Please note that the number of boxes you can purchase a day is limited to 500 boxes per account. A special limit counter will show you how many more boxes you can still purchase.
Counter reset time: 00:00 UTC+8.
However, there's an exception to every rule. A truly grandiose exception. There is also a Special Bundle that contains 200 days of WoT Premium Account and 200 boxes! It can only be purchased once per account, and it doesn't affect the daily limit. Boxes from this bundle will not add to the counter.
The Armory Box
You can see your purchased bundles with gifts to the right of the Vehicle Panel. Let's have a look inside to see what you can get!
In each opened box, you can receive up to four items. You are guaranteed (100%) to receive at least one item. There's a high probability (85%) that a second item will drop. And there's a relatively small chance (25%) you'll receive a third item. Finally, for the very lucky (2%), a fourth item will drop, but keep in mind that this fourth item will always be a Premium vehicle.
If you open 49 boxes without receiving a Premium vehicle, you'll have a 100% chance of getting one of the following nine vehicles from the 50th box:
- TL-7
- Jagdtiger H Prototype
- Udarniy
- Strv 81
- Turtle Mk. I
- ISU-130
- IS-5
- VK 75.01 (K)
- Kampfpanzer 07 RH
If you already have all of these vehicles in your Garage, you will receive compensation in gold equal to the cost of the vehicle you've randomly received. To help track your guaranteed rewards, a special counter will be added to the Garage that will reset each time you receive a Premium vehicle.
Note: Players will not receive a vehicle that they already have in their garage, including rental vehicles.
If you want to avoid getting a vehicle you have sold from the Autumn Golden Armory box, please follow this guide to recover your vehicle or contact Player Support to recover your vehicle before opening more boxes.
Players with rental versions of the prize vehicles cannot obtain them from the boxes. Removed rental vehicles cannot be restored.
Any boxes that are not opened by the end of the event will be opened automatically.
New! Three Premium Vehicles
These three new Premium vehicles are debuting in the APAC server and are not available in other regions yet. Let's see what these vehicles can do!
TL-7
The TL-7 is a tank destroyer from USA. This agile vehicle with an autoloader can play in many positions. Fight in the thick of battle and take advantage of enemy mistakes, or fire from a distance and cover your allies. You will just need to mark your target.
Without looking at its characteristics, one of this vehicle's advantages is clearly its size. Of course, it's no E 25, but hitting the TL-7 from a distance is quite hard as well.
It's armed with a biting gun with a 4-shell autoloader. And with an average damage of 360 HP per shot and a reload time between shots of 2.3 s, your enemies will know exactly what happened to their 1,440 hit points. The only thing you need to consider is penetration. The 252 mm of penetration from standard shells might be not enough against Tier X vehicles. However, special shells are excellent. They offer 315 mm of penetration and an impressive velocity of 1,492 m/s.
The 0.4 dispersion might raise some questions at first, but that's only if you like to roll out without equipment, a trained crew, or consumables. But if you equip the vehicle with Improved Aiming, Improved Ventilation, and Case of Cola, and train your crew with Brothers in Arms, the 0.4 will quickly turn into 0.33. Now, that's much better.
The TL-7 also features interesting armor. Its turret has rounded shapes, which means that ricochets will be a common occurrence. The turret and hull sides also have screens that help withstand hits from HEAT shells.
The vehicle's mobility is decent. It accelerates up to 50 km/h almost right from the start and can easily be among the first to occupy firing positions and give the enemy a warm welcome.
Jagdtiger Prototype
Like all vehicles in the Jagdtiger series, the Tier VIII Jagdtiger Prototype tank destroyer has all the recognizable shapes... and the name. However, there are a lot of interesting features hidden "under its hood."
With an average damage of 490 HP and penetration of 246 mm, its gun easily handles even Tier X vehicles. This will allow you to save your special shells and earn credits.
Even heavy tanks might envy its armor. Its turret has 250 mm of effective armor, while the effective armor on the hull is 200 mm. Moreover, the vehicle doesn't have any obvious weak spots, such as commander cupolas.
The Jagdtiger Prototype has great potential in close combat. It can absorb damage, shoot the enemy, make a fuss on the flank, farm credits, and even trade hit points, of which it has plenty for a tank destroyer: 1,600 HP!
Staying in the bushes and covering your allies is only possible when you're at the bottom of the list. However, in all other cases, this tactic isn't putting the vehicle's advantages to good use.
Udarniy
Another excellent and uncompromising Tier VIII tank is the Udarniy.
The Udarniy is as long as a locomotive and as sturdy as a true heavy tank. Its front is literally a steel wall.
With an oval turret, a pike nose, and a very small lower glacis plate, the practical side of the vehicle's design can't be underestimated. The effective armor in its turret and hull is more than 300 mm. And if you hide its weak spot behind cover and face your enemies, even Tier X vehicles won't be able to penetrate you to the front.
The Udarniy is armed with a 122 mm gun with fast-moving APCR shells with a velocity of 1,100 m/s. The accuracy of 0.42 and aiming time of 3.1 s are truly Soviet characteristics. It will have difficulty firing from a distance, but performs reliably in close combat.
On the front line, the Udarniy is a necessary unit that can keep pressure on the enemy or hold back their attempts to break through.
Note:Along with the standard Premium vehicle bonus to credits and Crew XP earned in every battle, the TL-7 also earns bonds in Random Battles just like Tier X vehicles!
Battles are more fun with some decoration on your vehicle of choice. Luckily, there are plenty of styles you can get from the Autumn Golden Armory Boxes.
In addition to days of WoT Premium Account, credits, crew members, Personal Reserves, blueprint fragments, Demounting Kits, and slots in the Garage, which you can receive as the first two items from the box, you will also have the chance to obtain unique and rare 2D styles that will make your favorite vehicle look sharp in battle.
