The glorious day has come, commander!

The roar of the engines belonging to millions of tanks will tear through the air while the sound of thousands of battles echoes around the world. Operation Onslaught will be forever etched into your memory as it will bring you honor, glory, and an indescribable amount of rewards: resources, rare items, and Collector vehicles. All missions are set, so it's time to start completing them for rewards!

• CIS: from May 1, 8:00 (MSK) to May 29, 8:00 (MSK)
  
• Europe: from May 1, 14:00 (CEST) to May 29, 14:00 (CEST)
  
• North America: from May 1, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET) to May 29, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET)
  
• Asia: from May 1, 14:00 (UTC+8) to May 29, 14:00 (UTC+8)

Operation Onslaught includes two reward progressions, each of which is divided into 40 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to all players, while the lower (gold) progression can only be accessed by Premium Pass owners.



Increase the level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Stamps:

10 Stamps = 1 level

Although the level increases automatically, you need to collect the rewards manually.

You can earn a total of 15 Stamps each day. Premium Pass owners get access to an additional mission that provides another 5 Stamps. With Premium Pass, you can earn 20 Stamps a day and unlock 2 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your level using gold.

The higher the level of your Pass, the bigger your fortunes and the fuller your Storage. For completing all levels, you can get up to:



At Level 1 of the Operation, Premium Pass owners will get tier-IV Covenanter, a mobile light tank with impressive firepower.



At level 35, you'll get tier-VI Thunder. It's a special version of the KV-1S with a powerful 122 mm gun and reinforced armor, but, at the same time, decreased mobility. The main attraction of this tank is its appearance. Nothing in the world could be more beautiful than the Thunder at full speed. The star on the side of its turret shines so brightly that it immediately inspires you to glorious victories.

Maps have become more authentic and warpaints more diverse while Tier VI-IX heavies are even sturdier. The Garage has been moved to the forest while two dozen maps were made available for Realistic Battles.

We'll tell you a secret. When tanks were little, they dreamed of becoming astronauts. Their dreams have finally come true! From April 10 through April 16, the vehicles in World of Tanks Blitz will break free of the Earth's gravity and explore new horizons in space.


Experience the new Gravity Force mode! Fight in the moon's gravity and float over the lunar surface on the Sea of Tranquility map! Take flight over the battlefield or send your enemies hurtling across the entire map!
Gravity Force battles don't affect your stats.
Here's when you'll be able to fight in Gravity Force:
CIS: from April 10, 10:00 (MSK) to April 16, 23:00 (MSK)
Europe: from April 10, 10:00 (CEST) to April 16, 23:00 (CEST)
North America: from April 10, 7:00 (PT) / 10:00 (ET) to April 16, 20:00 (PT) / 23:00 (ET)
Asia: from April 10, 10:00 (UTC+8) to April 16, 23:00 (UTC+8)

Only Tier V–X vehicles are allowed in this mode.
Space battles are a serious matter. So first off, a mission briefing!



Here are the basic rules for fighting in the moon's gravity:

• In Gravity Force, gravity is several times lower. Just put the pedal to the metal and let the terrain help you blast off!
  
• Even while in flight, you won't lose control of your vehicle. You can turn or tilt the hull to slightly change your trajectory.
  
• Lower gravity makes falling less painful. In Gravity Force, damage from falling is significantly reduced.
  
• In low gravity, the recoil from taking a shot becomes much more noticeable. The lighter the tank and the larger the gun caliber, the farther the vehicle is thrown backwards upon firing. Spin it to your advantage. Fire to speed up or change your flight path.
  
• When a shell hits an enemy tank, it will not only cause damage but push it backwards. The more powerful your gun and the smaller the target's weight, the farther the enemy is thrown back. Shoot an enemy tank as soon as its tracks leave the surface and watch it fly away! ATGM shells are best suited for this purpose as one precise hit will send the enemy on an express trip to the other side of the map.
  
• In Gravity Force, tanks' engine power and top speed will be significantly increased. Don't be surprised when you see heavies drifting on turns or light tanks soaring over the battlefield like birds. Space birds with large caliber guns.

In Gravity Force, you'll have to leave your home planet and join the fight on the surface of the moon. Welcome to the Sea of Tranquility!



All the sights of the Moon await you here: fantastic space views, a complex landscape with many hills and natural ramps, and even a secret scientific base.
Cosmic cold and lunar darkness make it the perfect place for intense tank battles!



Due to an unknown anomaly, the moon's gravity has taken effect even on Earth. In addition to the Sea of Tranquility, Gravity Force battles will be available on the Mirage, Desert Sands, Dead Rail, Oasis Palms, Winter Malinovka, and Normandy maps.



Battle in Gravity Force and get rewards for the first 10, 20, and 30 victories!

A last little tip before starting: it’s cold in space, so don’t forget to put on a spacesuit. And a hat!

This spring, Rating battles will not only be about intensive fights for camouflage, avatars, gold, and respect. There will be plenty of action for two months! You can assemble the rare IS-6 Fearless, complete the Rating mission for streamers, or accumulate Season Coins.

• From April 5 to May 31 (23:59 UTC), play in Tier VII–X vehicles.
  
• Fight ten calibration battles. Based on the results, you will be placed into one of five Leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond.
  
• Earn rating points and progress up the leaderboard, while moving from one League to another!
  
• Remember: the better you perform in battle, the more rating points you will receive.

Just a few chosen tankers own this legendary vehicle, but it's time to increase the number of commanders in charge of the IS-6 Fearless! Only the most talented and persistent Rating battles players will be able to receive this vehicle. Go for it!

It is important to climb the leagues in April because from April 29 to May 30, during Spring Season's second phase, you will receive iconSeason Coins for each of the first 200 victories in Rating battles. You can exchange Coins for Premium Account, Free XP, and credits. Stay tuned. There will be more information closer to the event's start time.

If you have a YouTube channel, you can register with our Discord server and receive a special mission! Take part in Spring Season Rating battles, stream them, increase your rating, and receive rewards in the form of vehicles to be won by your subscribers. The higher your rating, the higher the vehicles' Tier. The more subscribers, the more vehicles awarded! To watch streams, look them up using the #RBM hashtag.

For everyone who's been waiting for so long, four tank destroyers from Tier VII to X were added to the Japanese Tech Tree. Each of them is mobile and has impressive firepower.



Take a Closer Look!

A camo for a new Tier X tank! The Ho-Ri Type III Samurai warpaint has a combative and elegant look, reflecting the best traditions of Samurai culture. Available in the Appearance tab for 2,550 gold.



We've also got something for fans of German tanks: the Savage Legendary camo attachment for the Tiger II for 1,450 gold.



The game now features a new hybrid type of joystick. It can be activated by tapping anywhere in the lower left corner of the touch screen. You can enable this new control type in Settings under the Controls tab.

The design of boosters was updated, and boosters were moved to the Offers tab of the in-game Store.



The HP for each Tier X heavy tank was increased by 5-20% depending on its characteristics. Now the role of heavy tanks suits their class better as they'll live longer, block more damage, and act more confidently.

Reworks also affected the characteristics of the VK 16.02 Leopard, T23E3, and Jagdpanther.

• A dynamic filter was added for x5 XP certificates. If you have a certificate in your Storage, you'll see the Suitable Tanks button. After tapping it, you'll go to the Garage and, in the vehicle carousel, you'll see only the tanks that are suitable for applying this certificate.
  
• Battle types were renamed battle modes and vice versa. As an example, Uprising is a battle type and Encounter is a battle mode.
  
• ATGMs: the bug that caused the absence of the sound of a flying missile when in Sniper mode was fixed.
  
• The Appearance tab: the bug that caused incorrect swiping to the installed camouflage when switching between camouflage slots was fixed.
  
• Players no longer receive notifications when their rating falls and they enter a lower league.
  
• Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  
• General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

Big, protected, surprisingly mobile, and armed with powerful guns firing a special set of shells, the game's first Japanese tank destroyers will immediately make you respect them. And when the four new tank destroyers enter the battle, no one will survive their onslaught. Learn about them now and prepare to research a new Tier X vehicle!

The top guns of the Japanese tank destroyers can fire two types of AP shells. The main AP shell for each new vehicle features high penetration and devastating damage. The improved AP shell has lower damage, but it can penetrate practically all enemies.

Researched after the Chi-To for 43,400 exp. Cost: 1,345,000 credits.



Many enemy shells will simply bounce off this tank destroyer's armor, especially if they're fired from medium or long range. Considering its great armor, the mobility of the Chi-To SPG is inspiring. Its suspension, taken from a medium tank, has a max speed of 45 km/h, a high power-to-weight ratio, and decent maneuverability.

The most difficult aspect is to get a better gun than the stock one, which has quite low penetration. You'll have to take more frequent risks until you unlock the top gun. On the bright side, with the top 105 mm gun, the Chi-To SPG will penetrate 215 mm using standard shells and 265 using alternative ones to inflict over 2,500 HP of damage per minute. Put holes in enemy tanks at any distance without having to aim at their weak spots!

Researched after Chi-To SPG for 76,950 exp. Cost: 2,570,000 credits.



Thanks to a max speed of 45 km/h and good specific power, the Ho-Ri Type I moves almost like a medium tank or a very mobile heavy tank. The armor of its cabin reaches 190 mm, but the enemy will easily spot its weak places at medium or close range. This tank destroyer's weak spots are the cabin sides or the vertical parts of the armor. At the same time, many shots will be blocked by the big, thick gun mantlet.

The stock gun of this monster should be familiar to you as it's from the Chi-To SPG. It works great at Tier VIII, so you'll easily collect the XP required for the top gun. And when you have it, even seven samurai won't be able to put up a fight. 248 mm of penetration and 400 HP of damage with a standard shell and 297 mm and 340 HP of damage with an improved one! Add good accuracy and 6 shots per minute, and this huge ship gun deserves to be on a Tier X vehicle!

Researched after the Ho-Ri Type I for 160,000 exp. Cost: 3,450,000 credits.



The second variant of the Ho-Ri tank destroyer is a lot heavier, causing it to lose some speed and maneuverability while adding more protection. Its sloped frontal armor survives almost any hit, but the vertical 190 mm armor of the cabin will frequently make you lose HP. Try to sidescrape when under fire. Even a small change in the hull's position will give you a greater chance to reduce damage taken. Use this trick!

The stock gun of the Ho-Ri Type II resembles the one of the Maus. It has 246 mm of penetration, 460 HP of damage, 11 seconds of reloading time, and good accuracy. However, even this 'Maus gun' looks like a child's toy in comparison to the top gun, which has 290 mm of penetration with a standard AP shell and 340 mm with an improved one while dealing 560 and 545 HP of damage respectively. Almost every shot from this gun will inflict damage and bring you closer to an even more devastating vehicle: the Ho-Ri Type III.

Researched after the Ho-Ri Type II for 271,000 exp. Cost: 6,100,000 credits.



Welcome to the top of the mountain! Here, surrounded by white blooming sakuras, it listens to the silence and meditates to the sound of running water. The name of this honorable vehicle is the Ho-Ri Samurai. This mighty warrior maintains extreme calm, yet is full of pulsating fury. The Samurai skillfully controls its anger, focuses it, and channels it into one accurate and lethal strike with its katana-gun, showing no mercy.

The Legendary Samurai camouflage changes the tank destroyer name in battle to Ho-Ri Samurai. It is effective on all map types and doesn't require replenishment. Price for unlocking: 2,550 gold.

The cabin and upper part of the hull, which have 250 mm of armor, may not look too impressive at Tier X, but this protection will block many shells coming from long and medium distances. Your sidescraping skills will be put to good use. In close combat, the enemy will be able to penetrate this tank destroyer if they aim at the driver's hatch and the vertical part of the hull armor.

You don't expect a huge monster like the Ho-Ri Type III to be too mobile. That makes it even more pleasant to see the Samurai top out at 25-35 km/h and surprise outrageous medium tanks with its traverse speed.

And its gun... It isn't the best in single-shot damage, but it takes 560 or 545 HP from the enemy every 10-11 seconds. And a look closer at its characteristics reveals a standard AP shell penetrates 310 mm and an improved one 380 mm! If you don't want to achieve penetration, you'll need to aim as badly as possible and ask luck to stay away. The Ho-Ri Type III cuts through enemy armor like a katana through lettuce! The Ho-Ri Samurai will serve you with honor, so command it with wisdom!

Invisible tanks, unrelenting radiators, damage regeneration. This isn't madness, this is Mad Games! The craziest battle type of World of Tanks Blitz is back, so climb into your favorite tank and wreak havoc on enemies using mad modifications!
