February promises to be an exciting month for all of you. Besides the weekend specials, we have prepared a couple of activities with great rewards. Check out the list below to get a glimpse of what we’ve got in store this month!
Specials:
Top of the tree:
1–28 February: In February, the French heavy tank line leading up to the fairly new AMX M4 mle. 54 is highlighted in this edition of the monthly special. Climb up the tree and get to this sturdy and powerful top-tier vehicle thanks to great discounts and bonuses!

Each weekend, there is a different tank class highlighted. Not only can you look forward to cool bonuses, but amazing discounts as well.
3–5 February: Heavy Tanks
10–13 February: Medium Tanks

Chinese New Year:
6–28 February: Let’s celebrate the Chinese New Year with massive bonuses for that nation. If you haven’t come around to trying them yet, now is the best time to start climbing up the Chinese tech tree!
Valentine Special (x3 XP):
14–18 February: We don’t want to spoil too much of this special event, but you’ll definitely be pleasantly surprised at what’s waiting for you. No Valentine’s poems, though.
Supply Raid:
19–23 February: If you’ve taken part in January’s Supply Raid, you already know about this event’s concept. Complete enough daily missions and get rewarded with great in-game items!
Any idea which premium will be? italian tier 8 maybe?
Doubt so, it just came to Supertest, and the special begins in about a week.
For a 2 weeks marathon you won\’t get a tier 8. It\’s probably a tier 6. We\’ve already had Dicker Max, TOG II and T-34-85M. I think it will be a different nation so the available tanks are:
USA
M4A3E8 Fury
M4A3E8 Thunderbolt VII
China
Type 64
Japan
Heavy Tank No. VI
Czechoslovakia
Skoda T 40
Sweden
Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2
Poland
Pudel
I don\’t think they will give Fury, Thunderbolt, Type 64 or Pudel because those tanks still sell well when they are thrown into bundles. I bet it will be the completely useless Skoda T 40.
I forgot that Heavy Tank No. VI was featured last year in a marathon so that\’s off the list too.
the t25 pilot marathon was 15 days long so it is possible
It\’s confirmed by WG on the forum it\’s not a tier 8. It\’s a tier 6.
Well, T25 Pilot Number 1 is a Tier 8 Medium, and it was on a 2-week marathon (12 March to 27 March)…
Chinese newyear….. Guess a type 64. That would make sense
japanise tiger had already marathon
Of course not, Wargaming never gives away new nation premiums cause more more cashgrabs. I personally hope for the Aufklarungspanzer panther V, but it remains to be seen
If any tank is gonna be a cashgrab is that one. So that was optimistic. But WG says it\’s a tier 6. So I doubt it\’s anything new.
Could it be SU 100Y
But but i selected that for my christmas deco disponent 🙁 🙁
May be the new soviet sarman
On russian bloger video was talking about 3 marathons this year for 6, 7 and tier 8. On february was talk about tier 7 premium, that could be premium Tiger II (P)
I doubt it. If anything they will run the Panther M10 or even that UK A45 no one bought.
Panther M10 is OP as fuck
I really doubt Tiger II (P). if they bring that one just to prem shop, they get much more money. sure, it\’s not OP, but the stats look rather decent. the 8,8 L/71 is good enough to pen even most tier 9 (with weak spots and sometimes a little prem ammo) and the armor should work ok on tier 7. DPM is a bit meh, but if you compare it to VK 4503, its not that much worse. and you get a turret that has noticabel armor in return (plus a thicker UFP).
Doesnt meet 9\’s it has pref mm lol.
Also on 24th of February should be Defender for sale
Confirmation on EU forums by Ph3lan:
\”Don\’t forget that it is a mini-marathon 🙂 I won\’t spoil it, because it is pretty close (Febr 4), but I can tell you that it won\’t be a Tier 8.\”
I think the marathon reward will be the Loza Sherman
Most likely, they always give away the crap premiums anyways 😉
Loza\’s Sherman is just a premium E8, pretty much. How is it crap?
Loza sounds a like a good guess to me. If it is, then I will try to get one. If it\’s one of those I already have, however, I won\’t be bothered to participate. Too much trouble for the silver and the free garage slot.
Yeh, 128 penetration is amazing
But all Shermans are good tanks, so pen is not really an issue. Most of other tier 6 mediums have comparable pen and they are fine.
how have other tier 6 MTs similiar pen? its only the Type 58 that is similar bad. all the rest has better pen in a more playable range.

Skoda being a autoloader as third worst and the best is Firefly with 171mm as best in class.
what make E8 (and E2) good: thex can mount vstab at tier 6, which greatly helps gun handling. that plus good gun depression and decent mobility makes them ok.
on the other hand: 3-5-7 MM was a strong nerf plus all those new superhaevies like Defender, O-Ho or VK 100.00 P which you have problems to pen even if you get to flank them.
somebody on forum screaming it will be Type 62, while there was some rumors from China. What a nave peoples
