Take the Bull by the Horns in the Lunar Challenge

With the holiday season finally over, we’re happy to… celebrate once again! There’s a long-lasting tradition here at World of Tanks to mark the Lunar New Year with a blast, so we’ve prepared a special challenge for every tanker to test their skills.

As an occasion celebrated around the world, the Lunar New Year is also known for its many stories. According to the Chinese zodiac, this year's symbol is the Ox. So, we decided to search for a tank that can embody this mighty animal.

And we found one! Please welcome the 122 TM, a Tier VIII Premium medium tank. It’s not your usual suspect from the Chinese roster. When it comes to specs, there are a few traits that make this tank differ.

The Lunar Challenge

February 12, 2021 at 09:00 CET through February 22, 2021 at 09:00 CET (UTC+1)

First off, the 122 TM can take a hit. It is surprisingly well-armored for a medium, making it one of the most protected MTs at Tier VIII. The price you pay for increased armor is a low power-to-weight ratio, resulting in poor dynamics and a feeling similar to that of a heavy tank.

However, it’s when studying the gun’s features that you understand there’s no need to rush. Its default penetration is 233 mm, and if one of this tank’s high-velocity shells makes it through enemy armor, it will bite off a significant 400 hit points. The gun depression reaches as low as –8 degrees, which, considering the nation’s standard of –5 degrees, makes the 122 TM the first Chinese tank you can comfortably bring to hilly terrain.

The reload time is 17.5 long seconds, which can be frustrating in the heat of a close battle, and the accuracy of 0.33 is another argument against going for a clinch. The 122 TM is a rare case when both the advantages and drawbacks contribute to the vehicle’s ideal role—long-range sharpshooting damage dealer.

The high durability, damage per shot, and penetration values allows you to cause considerable damage to enemies. The high-velocity APCR shell, which is also the standard ammo for this vehicle, also contributes to that. However, you should take the vehicle’s reload time into account as it is quite long. This Chinese vehicle will fully reward those who can understand and master its gameplay style.

The vehicle’s frontal protection is ensured with rational slope angles of the frontal armor plates, the hemispherical shape of the turret, and the thickness of the armor itself. The 122 TM confidently repels enemy shells from the front, and its high HP pool allows it to survive an unexpected attack from a flank. Take advantage of this when the combat situation calls for decisive action.

Tame the Ox

As this is a special challenge, we thought it would be great to provide the 122 TM with a truly outstanding outfit. That’s why this bundle will include the 122 TM and a brand-new 2D style, inspired by the Lunar New Year, that’ll fit any vehicle in your Garage.

1 / 12

To win this powerful Chinese medium and the 2D style, you need to complete 10 Stages by fulfilling missions for mastery or missions for commitment in Random Battles. Each Stage completed grants 10% off the final price of the 122 TM, as well as additional goodies to help you boost your performance in battle. If all 10 Stages are completed within the given timeframe, the 122 TM can be acquired for free.

  • Missions for commitment: the best option for dedicated and persistent players with a strong desire to get their hands on the 122 TM. All missions must be fulfilled using Tier VI–X vehicles. Players must also finish within the top 10 of their team by experience earned at the end of battle, regardless of whether their team wins or loses.
  • Missions for mastery: an alternative but more challenging path. Completing these missions will save time, but players will have to push themselves to the limit to succeed. These tasks can only be fulfilled using Tier IX–X vehicles.

Both sets of missions can be fulfilled simultaneously (given that all conditions are met), so it doesn’t matter how you progress to the next Stage. The mission that is completed first will count towards your progress to the next mission on either path: missions for commitment or missions for mastery.

Nail It with Lunar Missions

Daily Chapter II missions are available to those who have added the 122 TM to their tank fleet. We made sure that the prize is worth it, so those who make it to the end will get a unique holiday 3D style available exclusively for the 122 TM. The new skin will be accompanied by Personal Reserves.

Available for completion only in the 122 TM, Lunar Missions will last for 10 days. Not only will each objective fulfilled grant a discount to the 3D style bundle, it will also bring you valuable loot, including days of WoT Premium Account, Personal Reserves, and more. However, you only have to accomplish a total of 8 tasks to get a 100% discount on the bundle. Unlike the first bundle, this one will be available for gold.
