Winter Fest Commanders

When you have a world as rich as Winter Fest’s, it only makes sense for its inhabitants to be as extraordinary as where they live. After all, this is the realm that the Ice Queen, Nigel, Nutso!, SGT Frost, and Santa themselves call home.

Four new 3D Hero Commanders will be ready to join your ranks this coming holiday! Get them at the Storefront, the in-game Store, or in Winter Fest War Chests.

Note: Hero Commanders start with three open Skill slots and have a +30% Commander XP bonus.

And not one to sit on sidelines, Santa has also been practicing his one-liners all year round just for Winter Fest. Get ready to hear his brand-new voiceover as soon as you assign him to one of your vehicles.

Additionally, the Ice Queen War Chest contains an exclusive Ultimate Ice Queen 3D Hero Commander. The Ultimate Ice Queen comes with unique visuals and, for the first time ever, all nine Skill slots unlocked, making her an instant collector's Commander!

Keep an eye out on our news page for more information regarding the Ice Queen War Chests.

“But Wargaming!” we hear you say. “What do they sound like? Is it possible to get a sample of their lines?”

Well, ‘tis the season of giving. So, say no more. Here are some of the voiceover lines you can expect to hear once you lead these Commanders into battle.

Santa

But Commanders need their tanks. And Winter Fest has them in all shapes and sizes (literally).

Winter Fest Premium Tanks

With Winter Fest, you can also get four new Premium tanks for both World War II and Cold War modes via the Storefront (for Snowballs), the in-game Store (for Gold), and Winter Fest War Chests.

Find all details and gameplay tips below, and then head over to our bundles’ article for pricing information.

Kampfpanzer 07P(E)

• Mode: World War II
• Nation: Germany
• Tier: X
• Class: Heavy Tank

The idea of the “German standard of quality” is all too present in this heavy. With its top speed of 50km/h (rare for a WWII heavy), accurate gun, and excellent protection, this tank is perfect to hold the line or push the assault forward. It feels like something between a heavy and medium tank, which gives you plenty of options to explore in battle.

Keep an eye out for how the battle unfolds and act accordingly. It’s a heavy tank, but you can also try incorporating tank-destroyer-oriented Equipment (like Advanced Loader) to take advantage of its accurate and hard-hitting gun. It’s one of those tanks that allows you to switch between engaging head on and assisting from a distance with relative ease.

Note: The Kampfpanzer 07P(E) is exclusive to the Mystic War Chest.

And here’s a real holiday present: Once you get your Kampfpanzer 07P(E) as a possible Mystic War Chest drop, you will also receive its Yeti Hero Skin together with it!

Object 283

• Mode: World War II
• Nation: U.S.S.R.
• Tier: IX
• Class: Medium Tank

Thanks to its powerful gun and design, this medium fares well in urban maps as a damage specialist. Executing sidescraping tactics with it is also highly advisable to rack up defense XP while providing your team with always-essential fire support.

Use it to reinforce the frontline from a medium range, and equip firepower and armor-enhancing Commander Skills to bring out the best of it.

The Object 283 is waiting for you in the Winter Fest Storefront, in the Winter Fest ’24 Mega bundle at the in-game Store, and as a possible Winter Fest War Chest (Yule and Mystic) drop.

ELC EVEN NA2 SS-12

• Mode: Cold War
• Affiliation: Western Alliance
• Era: Escalation (Era 2)
• Class: Tank Destroyer

This ATGM-only tank has a high-top speed and a small size, making it ideal for scouting, spotting, and destroying tanks. Use the environment to your advantage and make sure to keep a safe distance from the enemy, as you’ll have a minimum of 100 meters arming distance to deal your missiles’ full damage potential.

Use it to scout the field and tag the enemy on the map. You’re a tank destroyer, but employing light tank tactics is also a good idea for this one. Focus on your stealth when bringing it into battle.

Along with this tank, you can also get the “Ice Queen Minion” Skin for the ELC EVEN NA2 SS-12/Pedro in the Winter Fest Storefront and in the Winter Fest ’24 Mega bundle in our in-game Store.

T 54D

• Mode: Cold War
• Affiliation: Western Alliance
• Era: Escalation (Era 2)
• Class: Medium Tank

Use distance and take advantage of its spaced armor and accurate gun to assist the frontline while remaining well protected. As a Cold War medium, you also have the advantage of this class’s flexibility to fill in any necessary role as the battle unfolds.

Apply armor-enhancing Equipment to boost your protection even more. You can also try using other pieces such as Improved Ventilation if you prefer to use this tank as an assist vehicle.

You can get the T54D in the Winter Fest ’24 Mega bundle at the in-game Store or as a possible Winter Fest War Chest (Silver and Mystic) drop.

New Toy Tanks

It wouldn’t be the holidays in World of Tanks Modern Armor without these! Sleigh it across every Winter Fest Special Event Mode with the brand-new Toy Tanks and their unique abilities (a.k.a. the festive version of in-game mechanics).

These tanks will be your go-to vehicles during the Happy Holidays! Mode and when facing the Ice Queen’s forces. Use the one you think suits best for each situation, and nothing to worry about if you don’t have any of the new Toy Tanks, Commander. The Original Toy Tank! ™ and Glitter Bomb will be available for free all throughout the event.

(Added on December 13th) And please note:

Toy Tanks Are Unique Items!
All Toy Tanks are magical items that Santa has made available only for Winter Fest 2024 and that will return to their toy form at the conclusion of Winter Fest. While these tanks won’t remain in your garage after the event ends, they’re here to bring festive joy to your battles during Winter Fest! 

However, Garage Gear Is Yours to Keep!
When you purchase a Toy Tank, you’ll receive a special Garage Gear item to commemorate Winter Fest. This gear is permanent and will stay in your collection even after Winter Fest concludes.

Get your new Toy Tanks at the Winter Fest Storefront.

With the Commanders, the tanks, and a story to rival a classic winter tale, Winter Fest is ready to brighten your holidays as soon as you turn on your console. Enjoy this instant classic, and see you on the icy battlefield!
