World of Tanks Classic: A special game event that kicks-off
March 29 at 00:00 PT | 02:00 CT | 03:00 ET and is available until April 3.

World of Tanks veterans: Do you remember when Update 0.7.0 was released in 2011? In those glory days, the KV-3 was still capable of one-shotting you, the elusive T-50-2 struck terror into the hearts of artillery fans, and the formidable Maus could hold an entire flank all on its own — simply by blocking the bridge on Erlenberg.

At that time, we had only just introduced replays and the ability to put camouflage on vehicles. Today's newcomers, or those who joined World of Tanks after Update 1.0, may not understand why a solitary tear rolls down our veterans’ cheeks when they remember those simpler times.

World of Tanks 0.7.0: More Than Just Nostalgia

Back in the day, World of Tanks was a very different experience, and the game physics allowed players to work wonders. Just thinking about it made us nostalgic. So from March 29 to April 3, we're giving veterans a chance to relive those glory days and newcomers the opportunity to experience a piece of tanking history, even if it’s only for a limited time!

WORLD OF TANKS CLASSIC

Yeah, OK...So What's So Interesting About 0.7.0?

Of course, even after eight (8) years, today's game resembles the World of Tanks of 2011 in some respects, but in many ways "Classic" is an entirely different experience.

So, here’s what awaits you:

• A separate server and a separate game client.
• Three classical nations: U.S.S.R., Germany, and U.S.A. Oh, and a legend that needs no introduction...the Type 59! You won’t find any French or Swedish autoloaders here! You will get four (4) sets of Crew members for each nation, with three researched skills (Firefighting, Repairs, and Concealment). The Type 59 has one Crew member for each specialty.

• Special gameplay: In WoT Classic, there's no Sixth Sense, arty doesn't stun, and light tanks only come with tracks.
• "Old school" game physics: You can easily hang off bridges and rocks and your vehicle doesn't roll downhill. Also, tanks don't flip over or leave the ground, and destroyed vehicles cannot be moved — even by an E 100 Platoon.
• General chat: Feel free to communicate with your adversaries throughout battle, but don’t forget the World of Tanks Game Rules.
• Simplified economy: During the event, you can research and purchase top-Tier vehicles much faster. Also, Premium tanks, camouflage, and equipment costs are reduced. Remember: Anything you purchase in WoT Classic will not be transferred to the current version of World of Tanks!
• You can buy special shells for Gold only — not Credits.

And finally: By participating in WoT Classic, you can earn a unique style with an inscription and an emblem. Take a look:

IMPORTANT: Don't worry about resources!
During the event you will be credited with Gold, Credits, and Free XP;
these cannot be transferred to the main server, however.
