Detailed terms
- To receive a Star ⭐ you need to complete any 3 tasks from 5 for the respective type of vehicles.
- You can complete the tasks in random battles (excluding “Enduring Confrontation” and “Assault”) in vehicles of rank III or higher (rank II or higher in naval). The exact terms of the achievement can be found in the game client by clicking on your nickname → Achievements → Operation W.I.N.T.E.R..
- You can follow your progress and see the detailed tasks description by clicking on your nickname → Achievements → Operation W.I.N.T.E.R.
- A Star ⭐ will be counted as received if the achievements ★ are coloured gold ⭐.
- Performing tasks must be completed with the destruction, and assistance in the destruction of, player controlled vehicles, NOT AI controlled vehicles.
- By completing the task “Win 11 times” in combined ground battles, the task will be counted as completed with the type of vehicle in which you finished the battle (ground vehicle or aircraft of the specified rank). By completing the same task in naval battles, the task will always be counted for naval vessels.
- Missed Stars ⭐ can be purchased in the Achievement window until the 14th of January 2021. Don't make a mistake in choosing between the group of achievements - pilots, tankers and sailors.
- Prizes received in the form of coupons will be available for trading on the market from 15th of January 2021. The time from which the coupon can be traded can be viewed in the game in the coupon description. The option of trading each coupon separately depends on the time of its receipt and doesn’t depend on the vehicle coupon.
- From the 23rd of December, PlayStation and Xbox players will be able to exchange decoration and decal coupons for similar ones (you can exchange coupons of the same type). The exchange is available in the “Workshop” - Exchange items “Operation W.I.N.T.E.R.”.

can i get all the stars in 17 days? schedule is a bit strained rn
No, you can get one star (from every type) every "2 day period"
Anyone else get 6 kills in RB ground battles with tanks and still not get the task completed?
im having the same but with air realistic.
Were you in a tier 3 vehicle? (Not rank, actual bracket tier. For example a kill in a chaffee (M24, US) which is tier 3 will count. An M4A5 even though it's 3.7 will not due to it being tier 2.)
Nice event, I like it. But can you please add the standard G36 service rifle as a 3D decoration at some point. The K variant is rarely used in the armed forces. And if, only by the special forces, not the mechanised units. And please unfold the buttstock ;)
Why dont I get war bonds for daily tasks????
there are not warbonds for daily tasks anymore with battle pass....
"Pin-Up" decals from the last year realy??
Off topic but does anyone know if there will be a Christmas sale this year?
When are the sales for golden eagles???
are the pinups random on which nation you get? or do you have to be playing a for example france to get the french pinup?
I would like to know also. It keeps giving me the British pinups like 3 times now and I haven't played a single vehicle from the British.
Bonjour , j'avais une petite question , pour Noël ou encore nouvelle an il y aura des réductions sur les packs a 60€ car moi étant joueur ps4 je ne vois pas de réduction sur ces pack merci.
this is so unfair i cant even do the operation because i need like 10,000 GEs
just for one mark of distinction you need 999 GEs how is this fair at all gaijin some people cant even get one GE unless they actually do the tutorials and they still wouldn't have enough GEs for more than one mark of distinction Gaijin you should just allow us to get a few GEs per realistic win like at least 10 GEs or just don't put a price on virtually everything
Raptor_Gunner12, i would love that MIG-21 but i cant even get the Ro.57 so how do you think this is fair gaijin cause I'm not even able to get one reward from this event or any event and same goes for a lot of other players that cant get GEs
