Commanders!
The Assembly Shop event has been postponed to 2024-02-23 at 17:00:00 (UTC). We've identified an error in the gun mantlet armor, which will be fixed with a micropatch. Due to this error, the mantlet armor was weaker than intended. We'll improve it to meet the planned characteristics. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
The Assembly Shop is back in World of Tanks, Commanders!
From 2024-02-2317:00:00 through 2024-02-2522:59:00, you can build the Object 452K, a brand-new Tier X Soviet heavy tank. Only 80,000 of these exclusive vehicles will be up for assembly, and the initial 40,000 will come with the striking Designer 3D style, each with its own unique style number. Prepare to assemble an experimental heavy tank that boasts a formidable appearance and offers engaging gameplay!

ExpandThe Assembly Shop: How it Works
- Invest various game resources—blueprint fragments, Free XP, credits, gold, and bonds—to assemble the brand-new Object 452K. It’s up to you to decide how much of each resource to invest.
- There will only be 80,000 tanks available for assembly. The first 40,000 players will receive not only the vehicle itself but also the spectacular Designer 3D style for it, which includes an individual style number. These individual numbers will be assigned to vehicles sequentially, from smallest to largest.
- Once all 40,000 of the numbered styles and accompanying vehicles have been purchased, another 40,000 tanks will still be available for delivery. They will come in their standard configuration—without the 3D style and individual style number—and will be available for assembly until the end of the event or until they run out.
Combine and Spend Resources in Different Ratios!
Remember that you don’t need to wait and can spend everything at once. There are plenty of combinations to fill the progression bar up to 100%—everything depends on the resources you have.
22% with national fragments and 14% with universal fragments.
Blueprint fragments can be used to complete up to 36% of the total vehicle assembly progress: 22% with national fragments, and 14% with universal.
Resources are deducted as soon as you add them to the Assembly Shop, but you can reclaim or redistribute them at any time by clicking the Return Resources button. If you don’t craft the Object 452K by the end of the event, all your spent resources will be returned to your account automatically.
The Object 452: A Universal Soldier Offering Unique Gameplay
This time, you will craft the Object 452K, an experimental Tier X Soviet brawler blending the roles of an assault tank and a breakthrough heavy tank. It has a noteworthy appearance and can claim to be one of the lowest-profile and most streamlined Tier X heavy tanks in the game. Plus, it boasts decent mobility, positioning it as a key advantage within its gameplay group.
Gameplay Features
- Armor—Dominating the Battlefield: A distinguishing feature of the Object 452K is its sharply angled armor plates, aiding in deflecting shots and strategic terrain dominance. The frontal hull is vulnerable head-on, but concealing the lower frontal section and elevating the upper hull turns the tank into a formidable fortress. The turret, a monolith with minimal weak points, requires careful positioning for maximum effectiveness.
- Gun—Precision and Power: The Object 452K's gun causes a substantial 560 HP of damage per shot. Thanks to its damage per minute, reliable penetration with standard shells, and acceptable aiming time, it displays a high degree of combat efficiency. Remember that the −7° of gun depression may pose challenges when firing using terrain irregularities.
- Mobility—Swift and Strategic: A standout among mobile assault heavy tanks, the Object 452K accelerates with agility, confidently keeping pace with its allies. Adding a Turbocharger elevates the overall experience, enabling quicker flank changes and the ability to offer crucial fire support where it is most needed.
Gameplay Tips for Success
- Terrain Exploitation: Leverage the Object 452K's sleek design and sloped armor by strategically dominating varied terrains.
- Hull Elevation: Conceal the lower frontal section and elevate the upper hull on uneven terrain to transform the Object 452K into a formidable fortress.
- Turret Positioning: Carefully position the turret to maximize its monolithic strength and minimize exposure of weak points.
- Firepower Versatility: Experiment with equipment builds to balance dynamics, armor, and substantial damage.
- Survivability: We recommend paying attention to equipment that reduces critical damage to the engine and fuel tanks. However, the vehicle’s compactness has a downside—high module density. If you favor an active playing style and anticipate regularly testing your armor's strength, this choice will help you avoid catching fire.
Join the chase for the most appealing-looking number for the robust Object 452K, Commanders!
