Fans of real-time strategy games will be delighted by the return of Commander Mode on March 5! In this mode, players can assume the role of the Commander to give direct orders to units from a birds-eye view, or team up with other players as a tanker to win through the strength of teamwork. Wargaming’s developers have introduced a host of fan-requested changes to the newest iteration of the mode, including keyboard and mouse support. The new control option promises a rush of nostalgia for players of classic PC strategy games, and a new dimension of point-and-click precision to help win the fight!

From March 15-17, the Luck of the Irish will shine on tankers in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day! Every 10 victories achieved over this weekend will reward players with a random loot drop, with up to 100,000 Silver available to earn per drop.

At the end of the month, players are invited to leave the Earth and set their sights on the stars… Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore has prepared another of its famous event modes! In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, and from March 29 until April 1, Earth’s tankers can prepare for all-out interstellar combat in Lunar Combat Mode! In this event, players wage war on the extra-terrestrial battlefields of the Moon and Mars using the M24 Lunar, a war machine built for low-gravity combat. Since we’re not playing by Earth rules, respawning is enabled, so the battle continues even after tanks get knocked out of action!

And finally, the third and final phase of the Winter Games campaign is active until April 1. Players can fight to earn 30 tiers of rewards from in-game Ops, including XP Boosts, Gold and Silver, Free XP, and exclusive Medals. Winter Games Charlie is the third and final phase of 2019’s first campaign, and players who complete it can get a massive discount on the electrifying Thunderbolt, a soon-to-be-released Premium tank. Look out for the Spring Games, which will commence on April 2!

From February 12-18, commanders who take to the battlefield for just one battle can unlock an exclusive free tank: the Steadfast Light MK VIC. This fast and faithful British Light Tank is a special gift to thank the millions of players who have supported and played World of Tanks: Mercenaries since its launch in 2014. This vehicle will not be available after the anniversary celebrations are over, so don’t miss out on adding it to your collection!

Players will also be able to get up to 75% off anniversary collections of the best vehicles released to date, from a mega pack that rounds up every original Premium Mercenary vehicle, to a hard-rockin’ band of the game’s famous Heavy Metal Hero tanks! Free XP to Crew XP conversion is also available for a limited time only, alongside 20% discounts on Gold to Silver exchanges in the Store.

The celebrations don’t end in-game – this is a real party, and we’re ready to dish out some real prizes! In partnership with Initial Games and Incredible Adventures, World of Tanks: Mercenaries is hosting its biggest prize giveaway ever this month, with over 6,500 physical prizes up for grabs. Starting February 12, players who visit the official website will be able to enter to win exclusive game merchandise, including custom jackets and backpacks, branded bottle openers, badges, medals, and even a one-of-a-kind custom PlayStation®4 or Xbox One X console. Five lucky winners will also be invited on an epic once-in-a-lifetime trip to drive tanks, crush cars, and get a taste of life as a real tank commander in Minnesota, USA this May!

New tanks are rolling out fresh from the factory! Stealthy commanders can unleash some French fury with the AMX Canon d’assaut de 105, a speedy Tank Destroyer that combines a swift and agile combat style with a knack for concealment and surprise attacks. Also coming on February 12, the T-VI-100 is a hybrid based on blueprints from a Soviet project that would have seen a captured German tank fitted with a powerful new weapon. It’s a Tiger at heart, but it’s burning with Soviet firepower!

And finally, the Winter Games campaign has entered its second phase! 2019’s new Ops and rewards system encourages players to fight to earn daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual rewards by racking up points from in-game Ops. Winter Games Bravo is the second phase of this event, and players who complete it can look forward to a hefty discount on the electrifying Thunderbolt, a soon-to-be-released Premium tank.
