Answer the Call to Mars Challenge With Martian Containers and the TL-7!

Commanders,

Our Call to Mars event has arrived! In this guide, we introduce you to Martian Containers, announce a special challenge, and take a closer look at the big-ticket items—including Premium vehicles and customization items—you could find in the Martian Containers. We also have a guide on how to play the brand-new IX TL-7 .

Martian Containers

Available from May 11 at 15:00 CEST through May 22 at 03:00 CEST (UTC+2)

How Martian Containers Work

  • You can purchase a total of 500 Martian Containers per day from the Premium Shop. Bundles are available with 5, 15, 50, or 75 containers, along with an equal number of battle missions for ×5 XP.
  • For every 50 containers opened, you're guaranteed 1 of the 10 Premium vehicles. If a vehicle drops before the 50th container, the counter resets.
  • You can only receive vehicles you don't already have in your Garage. Once you have all 10 vehicles, the next vehicle drop will grant the vehicle's value in gold instead.
  • If you don’t open all of your Martian Containers in time, they will open automatically at the end of the event.

The first American tank destroyer with an autoloader in the game, the TL-7 is all about mid- to close-range burst fire. The 120 mm cannon's four-round clip can dish out 360 HP per round, with an intra-clip 2.3 s reload time, for a potential 1,440 DPM. However, there are a few drawbacks: The 0.4 m dispersion is low for a tank destroyer, while 252 mm of penetration is average among its Tier IX peers. Shell velocity fares a bit better, with 1,060 m/s for AP and 1,492 m/s on APCR rounds.

Thanks to its decent resistance values and high specific power of 17.14 h.p./t, the TL-7 can reach its 50 km/h top speed quickly on hard and medium terrain. Its average 15 km/h reverse speed helps the vehicle withdraw from incoming fire, but beware of its sluggish 45 deg/s hull traverse speed.

The TL-7 has 1,500 HP, which is on the shallow end of the pool for its tier and class. The spaced armor on the turret and hull is helpful, but with only 5 mm thickness, it's susceptible to HEAT rounds. Due to the shape of the turret, the closer it gets to the hull, the straighter the armor becomes, and thus the less effective it is. Angling and side-scraping are key to survival against incoming fire, as the vehicle's armor isn't thick enough to reliably block enemy shots. Also, remember to keep the large commander cupola hidden!

Martian Containers: Other Vehicles

FV4201 Chieftain Proto

The IX FV4201 Chieftain Proto is a multi-role heavy with an incredibly tough turret and decent frontal armor, great gun depression, and a respectable 400 HP of alpha damage shot. Like its Tier X brother, this heavy boasts an impressive mix of characteristics, allowing it to dominate positional battles or win one-on-one duels.

ASTRON Rex 105 mm

The VIII ASTRON Rex 105 mm has plenty of things going for it. From an imposing 5-round autoloader to a 52 km/h top speed and decent 390 m view range, it can carry its weight in every situation. Use the great 60 deg/s traverse speed to flank enemies and unleash 1,600 HP of damage in 16 seconds.

T77

Boasting great burst potential, the VIII T77 has reason to be confident. Thanks to its fast shell cycling and 360 HP of alpha damage, it can deal 1,080 HP of damage in just four seconds! And with 232/299/60 mm of penetration and 8 degrees of gun depression, it knows how to leave a lasting mark, even in the most inopportune moments.

T-44-100

The VIII T-44-100 is a jack-of-all-trades with an answer to every challenge the battlefield might present. Go on the offensive with 2,000 DPM, a short 2-second aiming time, and a quick rate of fire. Or use its tough turret and spaced armor skirts to defend the base, before launching a counterattack with its 52 km/h top speed.

KV-4 KTTS

The VIII KV-4 KTTS boasts a rear-mounted turret and a striking similarity to the KV-4 heavy tank. The tank destroyer's low maneuverability and mediocre mobility are counterbalanced by well-sloped frontal armor that makes it difficult to damage. It is armed with a 107 mm high-penetration gun that deals 360 HP of damage per shot and has a reload time of under nine seconds.

IS-3A

The VIII IS-3A resembles other squat Soviet heavies with bouncy turrets, but it can fire three shells in rapid succession from its 122 mm cannon. Its autoreloading mechanics offer a great burst potential of 1,170 HP of damage, ensuring that you never go too long without another shot in the three-shell clip.

Bofors Tornvagn

The VIII Bofors Tornvagn combines thick 260 mm frontal armor with an unusual turret design that makes it almost impenetrable. The 120 mm gun hits like Mjölnir and can slice through 248 mm of enemy armor with standard shells and up to 297 mm with its lightning-fast special APCR shells.

E 75 TS

The VIII E 75 TS is a powerful and mobile German tank. With a top speed of 45 km/h and a good power-to-weight ratio, it is one of the fastest heavy tanks in its tier. Use the solid frontal turret armor to take opponents head-on and ram into them. Alternatively, keep your distance and take out enemies with the powerful cannon that deals 360 HP of alpha damage and a brilliant 227 mm of penetration.

KV-5

The VIII KV-5 is a true heavy tank behemoth, with a massive 1,780 HP and almost impenetrable armor. Its 107 mm gun packs a powerful punch with a reasonable rate of fire that can chip away at enemy HP. Plus, its 40 km/h top speed, combined with 100 tons of steel, allows it to charge straight into battle, crushing anything in its way.
