More than just the unofficial first day of summer, the final Monday in May is a day when people pay tribute to members of the military who gave their lives in service. This is when the U.S. commemorates Memorial Day, and this year, it falls on May 26th.

Whether or not you’re in the U.S. celebrating the holiday, we hope you’ll join us this weekend starting Friday, May 23rd, for the Memorial Day specials we’ll have, in addition to the Remember our Heroes Challenge available all this week.

First Win Bonus

First, from Friday, May 23rd, until the server restart on Tuesday, May 27th, get a x3 Vehicle XP bonus on your first win each day with every tank you play.

The long weekend is a perfect time to take as many vehicles out as you can and make the most of this bonus.

Free XP Conversion Bonuses

Next, through June 2nd, you’ll be able to convert your Vehicle XP and Commander XP to Free XP at special rates. This is the first time since December that Free XP conversion bonuses have been available:

On behalf of the World of Tanks Modern Armor team, we wish to say to members of the military: thank you for your service and sacrifice.
