These nimble scouts are pretty quick and when compared to other light tanks in the game, it’s their relatively good armour which sets them apart.
Special Event
The big birthday bash kicks off with a special event where tankers will be tasked with hunting down a unique Tier VI tank, the P.43/06 Anniversario.
MISSION - Can you hunt down the Anniversario?
Additionally, those who complete the event will be rewarded with a unique birthday player profile.
The event will run from Friday, 19 June to Monday, 29 June.
New Game Mode - Skirmish
Scheduled for release on Thursday, 9 July, two teams of 5 will battle it out on smaller maps which are perfect for intense and dynamic confrontations.
