What's New?

The Season of the Crimson Dragon brings several changes designed to enhance your competitive experience. Here's what awaits you:

Detailed Statistics

Follow your rating progression throughout the season, analyze your top-performing vehicles, and keep an eye on which customization reward you're closest to unlocking—all directly on the refreshed main page.

Bond Shop Update

The Onslaught Shop now features a brand-new Tier IX light tank, the LTC II, along with two new pieces of improved equipment: the Telescopic Observation System and the Tactical Concealment Net. The Improved Final Drive has been removed from the Onslaught Shop and will become available in the regular in-game Store after its next update.

New Vehicles

Now, you can go into battle in the menacing  X 114 SP2 . Keep in mind that you can purchase it for your vehicle collection when you reach the Gold rank. 

Plus, three new Tier X rental vehicles—copies of existing Tech Tree tanks—are available for this season with a free Garage slot and crews. These are temporary rental versions, and any XP earned in them cannot be used for Tech Tree progression:

The newly released Ares 90 is restricted in Onslaught.

Sound Physics Simulation Expands to Onslaught

The new sound physics system introduced in Update 2.1 and based on map geometry has been expanded to select Onslaught maps (Ensk, Cliff, Pilsen, Oyster Bay, Siegfried Line, Himmelsdorf, Murovanka, Safe Haven, Airfield, and Ruinberg).

Map Updates

  • New Map: Erlenberg joins the Onslaught map roster.
  • Excluded Map: Klondike is out.
  • Reworked Maps: Studzianki, Mines, Oyster Bay, Murovanka, Sand River, and Siegfried Line have undergone various balance adjustments.
Onslaught maps are distinct from their Random Battle counterparts. They feature updated layouts and strategies, providing a refreshed gameplay experience and new tactical opportunities. Discover more details in the Onslaught Map Guide.

Keep Fighting for the Ashbringer!

The race for the Ashbringer continues! This Tier X Polish heavy tank—crafted as a stunning replica of the X 60TP Lewandowskiego —comes with a cool progressive 3D style and a unique crew with enough XP to train three additional perks. Collect nine or more Onslaught Colors throughout the annual cycle for your chance to earn this exceptional vehicle and other valuable rewards.

At the end of the Year of the Dragon, you will unlock up to four different versions of the Ashbringer's 3D style—Silver, Gold, Champion, or Legend—based on how many Colors you have collected. All lower-tier styles will also be unlocked accordingly. Once you have unlocked them, you can freely switch between them at any time, even after every battle.
