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.

- 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.”.

Oh great another 500 kills (minimum) to get a FREE Radkampfwagen. I see the snail did´t learn anything from the last event. But it's understandable from a slow learner like the SNAIL (at least there is stuff for minor nations this time)
thats cool
that french thing looks wierd as hell. metal tractor wheels in the middle and normal tires at the end. and an amx13 turret. can't wait for the posts on the individual vehicles to learn more about them
Here we go again....
No preview of the Pin-Ups? Anyone?
Soon™
Awesome,more wheeled Stuff but not for the Russian Feds,is it so hard finding a 4x4 whit a Gun? And having the top ones Stock as well means enduring even more suffering whitout using money. This should be fun events and not encourage others to hit on each other as hard as possible. The Devs and everyone should realise the situations and learn from them. Adaption,Improve and Overcome (Definitly not a Badass quote from Bear Grylls).
3p class wheeled vehicle ? Never heard of it
TH-800 its the Original Name before it did take part of the Race for the "Rooikat"
won't us console players will ever be able to trade our hard earned coupons for past event vehicles, because we DON'T have access to the market like the PC master race does, it would be really nice if us console players have our own dedicated trading system!
Then have a go at Sony and Microsoft since Gaijin have said multiple times, it's not their decision. They have no reason to not want you feeding them cash on the market with everyone else.
Wow! Lets take this moment to thank them for giving us a French event vehicle, its a Christmas miracle!
why Baltimore is comming as event vehicle? is there any chance her sister ship come out as regular tree?
