  • French Tier VI M4A1 FL 10 Medium Tank
    • Alpha damage isn’t the only value that matters. The extremely fast intra-clip reload time on the M4A1 FL 10 makes it capable of serious burst damage…. and it has outstanding penetration stats to boot.
    • Earn 8,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.

  • T-55A Post-War Era Eastern Alliance Medium Tank
    • A classic medium tank, the T-55A meets the definition of a flexible vehicle, with all-around solid gun stats, good mobility, and more hit points than many other mediums to help you stay in the fight longer.
    • Earn 20,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.

  • Chinese Tier VIII WZ-120-1G FT Tank Destroyer
    • Thanks to its sloped frontal armor and its penetration values, the WZ-120-1G FT is a sharpshooter that excels at picking off enemies from a distance. Try to angle its hull to see it deflect incoming rounds like the champ that it is.
    • Earn 40,000 XP in battle to unlock the 50% Super Savings discount.

And don’t forget about our Key Cards! Each Card provides you with a mix of Gold and additional in-game content (including possible Premium tanks!) that’ll give your battles a boost. See what the current drops are in this article.
