❄️ 🎯 Snow is falling, all around us! It’s Christmas, cold outside and snowing, so it’s time to take a break from regular battles and have a little fun with your enemies by throwing (firing!) snowballs at them!
When: From December 23rd (12:00 GMT) until January 1st (11:00 GMT).
How to play
From the Events & Tournaments tab in-game, locate the “Tank Snowball” section and click Take part.
In Tank Snowball, you play with the unique Snowballer tank, which comes kitted out with a snowball launcher that shoots the Snowball Mk 1. Every Snowballer has a dedicated Elf crew and a target plate sticking up top. Your mission? Hit those enemy target plates with your Snowball Mk 1! The first team to get 60 target hits (destructions) or the first team to capture the enemy’s point wins the snowball fight.
Hitting an enemy’s target plate will knock it over and your Elves will launch fireworks to celebrate the nice shot! However, it won’t totally destroy the enemy’s vehicle. It will disable their launcher and they won’t be able to shoot, meaning they’ll need to repair their vehicle for 7 seconds before they can use it again.
If your target plate gets hit, we recommend you retreat, wipe the snow off, get some fresh warm clothes (repair in a hidden spot!), and then get back out there to shoot more snowballs at the enemy!
Get a reward!
Are you good at firing snowballs? You’ll be rewarded with this unique Firework Mortar decoration, specially made for this event!
Task: Hit 50 enemy target plates in the Tank Snowball event to get the “Firework Mortar” decoration for ground vehicles!
The Firework Mortar can be placed on any ground vehicle and will fire off fireworks when you get a destruction in any random battle!
- You can see the progress of the task for the Firework Mortar by clicking on your nickname and going to Achievements → Tank Snowball
Event Details & Features
- You can find the event under Events & Tournaments > “Tank Snowball”
- You don’t need any vehicles or lineups made; the Snowballer tank is automatically used when you take part
- The event is set in the [Battle] mode and the first team to 60 destructions or whoever captures the enemy’s point wins
- Only Silver Lions can be earned in this event.
- Mission points do not count towards the Winter Concert ground task.
- If you want the Firework Mortar decoration but don’t want or can’t play Tank Snowball, you can purchase it in the Achievements → Tank Snowball window for 499 GE
- There is only one spawn in this event as you cannot be fully destroyed
- When your target plate is hit, you won’t be able to shoot: you need to repair for 7 seconds and reload to be able to shoot again
- When you hit enemy target plates, festive fireworks are launched
- Your Snowballer tank is crewed by green Elves — make sure to take care of them!
Have a great snowball fight! ❄️ 🎯

According to the Snowballer tank user manual it actually used the improved Snowball Mk 2. Please fix Gaijin....JK. This is an awesome addition for the holidays.
Nice and funny gameplay. Btw, can we use those fireworks later in ordinary GB battles ? 😁
So this fireworks decoration stays forever? WHY!? Why make the game more and more ridiculous? Who wants that?
Oh my lord this is so cool
Fun
Oh My Santa... I need this!
