WoT: The Most Profitable Tanks to Buy at a Discount During New Year Challenges (Tier 5–6)

Starting this year, discounts are granted for tiers 5–11. Each time, these discounts allow you to gain a small silver profit, but only on Tier 5 and 6!
A discount for Tier 7 will not give you any silver profit, because with a 50% discount, selling such a tank later will only bring you to break-even.

— Discounts apply to any techtree tanks.
— Discounts for Tier 5 and 6 can be obtained by completing 12 New Year Challenges (last year it was 15) during Holiday Ops 2026.
The 12th mission becomes available on December 16, 2025.

Since last year, the TOP tanks on this list have not changed. If you have researched these tanks but don’t currently have them in your garage, you can make a small profit:

• 🇺🇸 T1 Heavy Tank (HT-5): tank price 435,000, discount 80% — resale profit 130,500
• 🇯🇵 O-I (HT-6): tank price 950,000, discount 60% — resale profit 95,000

Maximum total possible profit: 225,500 credits

* This amount of credits can only be obtained with these tanks. With others, the profit will be lower.
** ❗️It’s best to sell the vehicle immediately after purchase, or at any other time except during periods when techtree vehicle discounts are active.
