Toy Tank mode, the game’s holiday classic, returns! Ready to wreak havoc with your toy tanks and toy artilleries on the Happy Holidays! Map? How else are you going to get a random drop from the Stocking Stuffer Challenge? Oh yeah, and this time the toy vehicles jump too.

NEW TANK: DOUBLE TAP TS-54
In real life, the double tap is a firing technique where two shots are fired in quick succession. And yes, at least in World of Tanks Modern Armor, tanks can also do that.
The Double Tap TS-54 is the first U.S. tank with the dual-barrel mechanic. Get to know its perks and gameplay tips in its dedicated article.

And since we’re combining two Wot’s Happening weeks into one article, we’re also separating each Super Savings with their designated duration for your convenience.
December 19 Super Savings
- Premium Time – 1 Day
- Enjoy a +50% bonus on every Silver, Vehicle XP, Commander XP, and Free XP post-battle earning. You’d be surprised with how far you can progress with just one day of Premium Time.
- Earn 8,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.
- Enhanced Med Kit (10)
- You absolutely do NOT want any of your crew members to be injured. So make sure you’re set to bring them back to fighting shape with this Premium Med Kit bundle. You can use them again after their cooldown period.
- Earn 20,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.
- Enhanced Repair Kit (10)
- And just like injured crew members, broken modules can (and most likely will) make the difference between victory and defeat. Equip your vehicles with these Premium Repair Kits to make sure you’re set to keep going when the going gets tough. Again, you can reuse them after their cooldown period is finished.
- Earn 40,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.
December 26 Super Savings
- Enhanced Smokescreen (10)
- Need to make a quick retreat or disrupt your opponents’ targeting? Deploying a smokescreen will break the enemy’s line of sight and give you the opportunity to make your escape or relocate. Like every Premium Consumable, you can use them again after a short cooldown period. These Consumables are Cold War mode exclusives.
- Earn 8,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.
- Enhanced Hull Patch Kit (10)
- These will make ALL the difference and you’re a brave one if you head into battle without them. Enhanced Hull Patch Kits will “heal your tank” for a short time and the best part is you can use them again after the cooldown period is finished. These Consumables are also Cold War mode exclusives.
- Earn 20,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.
- Enhanced Missile Warning Voucher
- Know when you’re being targeted by an enemy missile with this piece of Equipment. Yes, missiles are guided projectiles by default, but it’s still ridiculously hard to hit a moving target. Step on it when the beeping starts, your opponents will need some time to reload their next ATGM, so take that opportunity to chase them down. This Equipment is useable only on Era 2 (Escalation) and Era 3 (Détente) vehicles in Cold War mode.
- Earn 40,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.
And don’t forget about our War Chests! Each chest provides you with a mix of Gold and additional in-game content (including possible Premium tanks!) that’ll give your battles a boost. Check out the drop tables here: War Chests
