This Lunar New Year, not only will the strong and proud Ox come to the battlefield, but so will the fast and furious M41D! Ready to unleash a devastating, accurate firestorm, this nimble sniper will easily outmaneuver the enemy.

During Lunar Rising, you may receive an offer to acquire the M41D. Grab this new Chinese Tier VII light tank before it's too late!

In one of the bundles, you'll find the Jade Legendary camouflage in addition to the tank. The dragon on the camo will give the enemy a hint of who'll they be fighting with! At the same time, the tank's battle name will change to M41D Jade.






The M41D is a light tank that perfectly combines speed and maneuverability with decent firepower. It's time for it to wreak havoc on the battlefield!



This Chinese fighter is a version of the American M41 Walker Bulldog, which is why it features good dynamics. Thanks to the 30.1 hp/t power-to-weight ratio, it can quickly accelerate to 70 km/h. Just what you need to effectively scout and spot!

It's also great at changing positions. After dealing with one enemy, you'll be able to quickly withdraw before falling victim to return fire. Due to the M41D's weak armor, any enemy shell could prove devastating.



In order to deal with enemies, the M41D has everything a tank might need! To begin with, it has two types of APCR shells. While the first penetrates 160 mm of armor and inflicts 170 HP of damage, the second penetrates 220 mm and inflicts 145 HP of damage, making it excellent for strong enemies. The reloading time of 4.03 s enables this tank to shoot two or three shells at a confused enemy without fear of losing its HP or reputation.

The gun's 8-degree depression angle allows the vehicle to not only effectively spot enemies from behind hills, but also to fire at them. All you need to do is change positions. Don't wait for the enemy to figure out where your shells are coming from.



And remember: the front line is not your cup of oolong. You'll enjoy much more success by providing fire support to your allies from the second line (which will be quite feasible with the M41D's gun!) or sniping from safe distances.



During battles in the M41D, your goal is to make a commotion and hide before the enemy can connect the dots and take aim at you. This requires careful action, but it will ensure memorable battles, piles of XP and credits, and a spot as one of the top players by damage dealt!

The night sky is about to be illuminated by the bright glow of lanterns marking the start of Lunar New Year! And its symbol—the strong and proud Ox—is here, ready to accompany you into battle and help you score victories that will earn you Red Envelopes.

By winning battles, you'll earn Red Envelopes from February 10 to February 19. Your first victory of the day will net you 5 Red Envelopes, which is exactly how much you need to complete one event stage and get rewards!



All other victories will earn you 1 Red Envelope each. Collect them to complete all 9 Stages faster! Once you do, you'll unlock another stage that can be completed for 5 Red Envelopes, earning you 50,000 credits, up to 10 times.

To kick off the new lunar year, World of Tanks Blitz will celebrate Lichun—the beginning of spring. Our battlefields will prove fruitful by providing resources, Collector vehicles, camos, and other rewards to hard-working and fearless commanders.

To participate in the event, you need a Tier III vehicle or higher.
Operation Lichun has two reward progressions, each consisting of 80 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to regular Pass owners. In other words, all players. The lower (gold) progression is only available to Premium Pass holders. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Coins: 10 Coins = 1 Level.

Although your Level increases automatically, you will need to collect your rewards manually. At the beginning of the Operation, 4 levels will be unlocked.

You can earn up to 30 Coins per day. Premium Pass owners enjoy access to an additional mission that provides an extra 10 Coins. With Premium Pass, you can earn 40 Coins a day and unlock 4 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your Level using gold.

• CIS: from February 1, 8:00 (MSK) to February 28, 8:00 (MSK)
  
• Europe: from February 1, 13:00 (CET) to February 28, 13:00 (CET)

There will be huge amounts of resources, themed camos and avatars, a profile background, certificates for XP bonuses for victories, and Collector tanks!
With Premium Pass, the T-28 Tier IV medium tank awaits you at Level 1. The accurate, rapid-firing gun, decent damage, and fast turret make it an ideal support vehicle.



And at Level 35, the Ox tank will be added to your Garage. Its sloped armor can withstand the fiercest moments of intense battles, while the good dynamics and nice maximum speed will carry you to victory, no matter the obstacle. The large pointed horns and massive ring will strike terror in your foes! That is the
Ox Tier VI medium tank.

A powerful and piercing gun with a 3-shell magazine, a sturdy turret, and a great depression angle—meet the new EMIL 1951 Premium tank. Welcome this mighty Swedish warrior to your collection and earn impressive amounts of credits each battle!

Containers that may have the EMIL 1951 or other rewards will be available in the in-game Store until January 22. Each container has EMIL 1951 Charms. Collect 25 Charms to get the tank!

Some time after your first battle in the EMIL 1951, you might get an offer for a Legendary camo that changes the tank's name in battle to EMIL 1951 Viking. The tank will be decorated with a pattern, round shields, a banner on a spear shaft, a battle horn, and poleaxes.






The EMIL 1951 is a heavy tank that effectively combines an autoloading system, a 10-degree depression angle, and a robust turret.



On level ground, during battle, the EMIL 1951 turret withstands hits from guns that penetrate up to 240 mm. If you put the 10-degree gun depression to use and place the tank on a hillside, the armor of your turret will also become impregnable for guns with 270 mm of penetration. It's critical to take advantage of your turret because the hull armor is quite vulnerable against most opponents.



The EMIL 1951 slays enemies with a gun that boasts an autoloading system and a 3-shell magazine. Thanks to its 230 mm of penetration, this tank can damage enemies with every shot it takes and deal an average of 930 HP of damage per magazine! APCR shells will come to the rescue when encountering a heavily armored foe as they can penetrate 270 mm and inflict 780 HP of damage per magazine.



Reloading takes 3 seconds, which means the EMIL 1951 fires all 3 shells in just 6 seconds. After that, the tank needs to retreat behind some cover and wait 22 seconds for the magazine to reload.



Even though it's a heavy tank, the EMIL 1951 has quite a low profile and weighs only 26 tons. It's even lighter than the T-54 ltwt.! The 350 h.p. engine, however, makes this tank march with the dignity of a huge, looming heavy. Its acceleration enables this heavy to achieve 20 km/h in 3 seconds and 30 km/h in about 8 seconds. Without equipment and provisions, the vehicle can reach its maximum speed of 40 km/h when going downhill only. Thanks to the high reverse speed, the EMIL 1951 is able to swiftly retreat to cover.
