The key technique of the season
As the key vehicles of the season, we have chosen up-to-date vehicles with interesting gameplay. We are sure that they will show themselves well in Random Battles and Reconnaissance in combat, and will also bring a lot of fun to both veterans of the game and beginners. Meet the three tanks that will have the status of a key vehicle this season:
The points limit for these vehicles has been increased to 1,000. They will also be able to earn Battle Pass points in Random Battles and Battle Recon according to the following rules:
Object 430U
POSITION IN YOUR TEAM ON THE RESULTS OF THE FIGHT | VICTORY | LOSE/DRAW |

Action “To Battle!”
Now the action “To Battle!” is inextricably linked with the Battle Pass, so the choice of research branches will be limited to the key equipment of the game event – three Tier X vehicles.
By participating in the promotion, you can get more rewards, research the vehicles you need and their crew faster. Now you have:
- the ability to independently choose combat missions for one of three branches with key vehicles: XObject 430U , XE 100 , XSTB-1 ;
- the ability to research Battle Pass vehicles faster;
- more combat experience and crew experience;
- discount on vehicles of three key vehicle research branches throughout the season: 30% for Tier VI–VII vehicles and 15% for Tier VIII–X vehicles;
- the ability to complete the Battle Pass progression faster and earn more in-game items thanks to the accelerated research of the event’s key vehicle.
Cobra – Token reward
In Season VIII, for the first time, you can get the British medium tank Cobra with a four-round magazine loader. The characteristics of the tank are final. Cobra, like all tanks in the Goods for Tokens section, is equipped with a built-in free Large Repair Kit.
Fast reloading inside the magazine and high armor penetration values for both the standard (HEAT) and special (High-Explosive) shells allow you to deal incredible damage in a very short period of time.
When playing with standard shells, you will get an efficient magazine loading system with excellent armor penetration values, allowing you to deal significant damage. High-explosive fragmentation shells are extremely dangerous for the enemy, but require proper use.
Decals
In Season VIII, you can get up to three new decals, 6 of each:
Medal
The unique “Ride of the Valkyries” medal, which is available upon completion of 150 stages of the main Battle Pass progression.
What is the orange “New” sign? 3x Token for Personal Mission?
Probably unlocks the mission chain for 1k bonds
It’s too bad that there’s no 3D style. Now that there are only a few t10 tanks left without a 3D style, I think wg will sell it as a x-mas root box. or… Maybe the worst case scenario is something wrong with the team that made the 3D style. I hope not.
All of these tanks already have 3D styles, I think it’s good, that they do not invest resources for creating duplicate ones (although I know, they aleady did that in the past).
But this idea is most probably tied wth the fact that RU region now will have Battle Pass and ToTT events joined together. If that part does not come to EU (and it should not, as we already have our ToTT vehicles active), then maybe we will get something different in rewards.
They have 3D styles, but they are not historical. Watch the video they just released on YouTube. They are Warhammer-ish.
WAAAAAAGH!
‘cuz uh, yeah, kult of speed STB-1 for me.
NO ASIAN CHIC??? WHY???
