Holiday Ops 2023: Celebrate in Festive Styles

Commanders!

The festive season has taken over World of Tanks! Enjoy your new winter Village, missions from our celebrities, and plenty of Large Boxes filled to the brim with wonderful rewards. From Premium vehicles to heaps of gold, from WoT Premium Account to brand-new 3D styles for Tier IX and X vehicles—every Large Box has a new surprise!

We've already shared an overview of all the possible items with you here, but it's still worth shining a spotlight on the brand-new and detail-rich 3D styles for some of your favorite vehicles in the game.

3D styles and their elements are purely cosmetic. They do not increase or impact a vehicle’s performance beyond the standard concealment bonus of camouflage patterns and styles.

The following styles can be found in Large Boxes:

Jupiter Fulgur 3D Style

Dress your X Super Conqueror in the elegant Jupiter Fulgur style and set clear accents on every battlefield. The new style turns the Tier X British heavy tank into a sharp-dressed gentleman with a black finish and gold highlights. Whether you're rolling up to a fancy Christmas dinner or a muddy frontline brawl, the Jupiter Fulgur style will leave an impression on allies and enemies alike.

Concept and Highlights

A neo-steampunk style with brass detailing and wooden paneling in black and brown. It features various electrical elements, such as an electric motor, cooling radiators, and more.

 
Muzzle Brake
This tank's 120 mm gun doesn't actually need a muzzle brake, as the recoil devices do their job perfectly, but the style deserves a beautiful piece of brass crowning the cannon.
 
Signal Horns
A look like this is meant to be seen on public roads. Suppose pedestrians don’t hear the clanging tracks and the roaring engine—the pneumatic signal horns will motivate them to give way!
 
Surveillance Device
Good optics are the key to survival on the battlefield. The combination of standard observation devices and telescopic sights ensures the detection of enemies and the accurate calculation of the distance to a target.
 
Ceramic Insulators
Nowadays, hybrid engines are considered an innovation, but an electric motor combined with an internal combustion engine was used even on submarines during World War I. Of course, they were not as compact in those years as they are today, and it was impossible to hide all elements inside the tank’s chassis. The insulators are a glimpse at the dual nature at the heart of this steel beast.
 
Gas Discharge Indicators
The magnum opus of the Parker-Robotham design: a damage indicator. The way it works is strictly confidential, but some electrical circuits with sensors may react to the machine body’s integrity. And damage to the circuit transmits a signal to the lamps. We don’t dare say for sure, but the main thing is that it works—and works well.
 
Generators
A key part of the electrical half of the engine. The generators are attached directly to the crankshaft of the engine and produce electric current to charge the batteries.
 
Hidden Antenna
This inconspicuous design element is a hidden unitary output of the onboard radio receiver and transmitter. It was not placed on the roof so as to avoid increasing the tank’s profile and to protect the expensive equipment from damage when driving under low arches of bridges. There is a smaller copy of this antenna on the muzzle brake, but it's just a decorative element.
 
Cooling System
Bulky heatsinks are a must, as overheating electric motors can be fatal. These engines were generally prone to heating up and catching fire. Add fuel from the combustion engine to the mix, and off it goes. Therefore, competent heat dissipation is vitally important.

Sleipnir 3D Style

In Norse mythology, Sleipnir is an eight-legged horse ridden by Odin and described as the best of all horses. While the new 3D style won’t grow an extra set of tracks on your X Strv 103B , it will turn the inconspicuous tank destroyer into an outstanding steed ready to charge into battle.

Concept and Highlights

Equip your Swedish tank destroyer for the harsh heat and unpredictable terrain of the savannah. The style adds extra water supplies, decorative shields of African tribes, and valuable military equipment.

 
Wheel Chocks
Used to secure the vehicle in mountainous terrain.
 
Water Canisters
Water is an invaluable resource on the African continent and the heat of the battlefield.
 
Military Souvenirs
Shields of African tribes are mounted to the vehicle as memorabilia.
 
20 mm Gun PansarVärnsLuftVärnkanon m/40 (PVLV)
An autocannon for defending against enemy infantry and destroying light fortifications.
 
Laser Rangefinder
Also known as a laser telemeter, a rangefinder uses a laser beam to determine the distance to a target or object.
 
Radar
Used for target detection and fire control in low-visibility conditions.
 
Spare Roller
It's always good to carry spare parts during operations far away from home and any repair base.

Asterius 3D Style

Gods, giants, kings, and mythical creatures—many have worn the name “Asterius” throughout history and left their mark on the world. The X Controcarro 3 Minotauro is the latest to join their ranks and is set on taking over World of Tanks in its impressive new style. Two double-barreled machine guns and mystic warpaint depicting the Minotaur’s labyrinth will lead allies to victory and opponents to their demise.

Concept and Highlights

A style that emphasizes the tank destroyer’s strengths and references its horned mythological namesake, the Minotaur, in several places.

 
“Earrings”
These lifting shackles are used for loading a vehicle onto a sea vessel with a crane.
 
Mounts for the Mine Clearing Roller System (MCRS)
Mine trawls are used to clear passages in minefields by detonating anti-tank and anti-personnel mines in front of the vehicle.
 
Labyrinth Drawing
The drawing is an homage to the saga of the Minotaur, who was kept in a labyrinth.
 
200-Liter Fuel Barrels
Used as additional fuel tanks to increase the vehicle's travel range. The barrels are dropped from the vehicle before entering combat to avoid an unnecessary fire hazard.
 
Anti-Cumulative Side Skirts
An American variant of side screens that give extra protection against anti-tank rifles and high-explosive shells.
 
Ammunition for the MG3 Machine Gun
 
Anti-Aircraft Gun System 25 mm Oerlikon KBA
Twin anti-aircraft guns protect against helicopters and other enemy aircraft flying at low altitudes. Ammunition is stored in a container at the back side of the turret.
 
Additional Smoke Grenade Launchers
Setting a smoke screen in combat can provide additional cover for large areas.
 
Camouflage Net
Additional concealment allows the tank destroyer to better blend in with the environment and ambush enemy vehicles.

Constellation 3D Style

Let the stars align and pave the way to glory for the X Bat.-Châtillon 155 58 in its new Constellation 3D style. The mighty French artillery gets extra camouflage nets, foliage, and a stealthy new paint job to disappear between the bushes and trees of the battlefield. Your enemies will be none the wiser before shells rain down on them like a meteor shower from deep space.

Concept and Highlights

A style inspired by historically similar versions with concealment elements and self-salvage equipment.

 
Spare Sprocket, Equipment Box, and SPTA Boxes
Spare Parts, Tools, and Accessories (SPTA) were kept in boxes directly on the vehicle for necessary field repairs.
 
Smoke Grenade Launchers
Setting a smoke screen in combat can provide additional cover for large areas.
 
Cranes
Used to hoist heavy artillery shells and other equipment into the vehicle.
 
Сamouflage Net
Additional concealment allows the SPG to better blend in with the environment and ambush enemy vehicles.
 
Spotlight
A light for better visibility during night maneuvers.

Levante 3D Style

A futuristic tank deserves a high-tech style with state-of-the-art warfare technology. The Levante 3D style upgrades the IX Char Futur 4 with a night vision device, better communication equipment, smoke grenade launchers, DR-VT-3 radar technology, and many other amenities—fitting improvements for a concept that broke ground for the development of the modern French main battle tank, the Leclerc.

Concept and Highlights

A classic French camouflage design paired with intricate 3D elements more commonly found on vehicles from the 1950s and '60s.

 
ATGM/MILAN and Machine Gun
MILAN, or Missile d’Infanterie Léger Antichar (French for “Lightweight Infantry Anti-Tank Missile”), is a Franco-West German anti-tank guided missile system and part of the tank’s anti-tank and anti-infantry equipment.
