NEW PREMIUM TANK: KAME

Japanese medium tanks often excel in a sniper role, but if you’re looking for a different experience, take a look at the new Japanese Tier VIII Kame Medium Tank. The alpha damage, DPM, and gun depression values on this beast make it a fire support specialist that’s not to be missed.

Get all the Kame’s details in its spotlight article.

SPECIAL: BATTLE FOR THE SEELOW HEIGHTS

Eighty years ago this week, Soviet forces engaged German defenses in and around the town of Seelow in what would be a final push to bring World War II to an end in Europe.

Mark this occasion with Tech Tree discounts and a special Challenge available to Soviet and German vehicles.

Details here.
