Lunar Challenge: Catch the 122 TM with a 3D Style!

00:10 - Participants will fight to obtain a special tank— tough, rugged, and reliable as an ox, which is the zodiac sign of the coming year according to the lunar calendar.

00:23 - To tame this beast, you’ll need to complete ten consecutive stages.

00:29 - You’ll have 10 days to do this. You can complete them in two ways: using mastery or commitment.

00:39 - Each stage brings rewards: credits, consumables, directives, Personal Reserves, days of World of Tanks Premium Account, equipment, and a discount for the 122 TM, a Tier VIII Chinese Premium tank.

00:56 - If you complete all ten stages, you’ll receive it for free.

01:01 - And along with it comes a thematic 2D style that can be applied to any vehicle.

01:09 - The 122 TM is not just a Chinese warrior in the guise of a combat vehicle.

01:15 - It’s a strong cocktail of characteristics that can’t be found together in any other vehicle.

01:23 - Being a medium tank, the 122 TM is surprisingly well-armored: it’s one of the most protected MTs at Tier VIII.

01:35 - Thanks to its depression angle that’s uncharacteristically good for Chinese vehicles, the 122 TM can become king of the hill and a master of sand dunes.

01:46 - It’s a challenging task to penetrate its armor on irregular terrain at long distances.

01:54 - The surprises don’t end there, as such a vehicle can’t go without an ace in the hole.

02:01 - The track fenders with spare parts crates are actually screens.

02:04 - The hull itself is actually much narrower. If a HEAT shell hits those areas, there is a high chance it won’t deal any damage.

02:13 - Of course, all vehicles have weak spots, and our hero is no exception.

02:20 - However, as we know, aiming at cupolas is easy only at short distances and if the vehicle is standing still.

02:29 - But nobody will stay in place and wait for the enemy to hit them.

02:35 - However, there is a catch about not staying in place.

02:40 - The 122 TM, being a medium tank, is expected to be dynamic.

02:46 - But in reality, it’s not much of a sprinter.

02:50 - Its real dynamics are closer to heavy tanks than other MTs.

02:56 - So here we come to the main feature of the 122 TM: this medium tank doesn’t need to rush anywhere.

03:04 - At all. A precise gun combined with high shell velocity allow it to successfully fire from long distances.

03:15 - You could let the enemy get closer, but why push your luck? It’s intuitive for this vehicle to find a distant position and regularly deal substantial damage from there at around 400 hit points per shot.

03:33 - For a Tier VIII medium tank, it’s honestly quite impressive.

03:37 - APCR shells penetrate 233 mm of armor, and HEAT shells can go through 299 mm! A skilled 122 TM player won’t have much trouble even against Tier X vehicles.

03:50 - As for vehicles of lower tiers, our mighty ox from the Celestial Empire will easily deal with them.

04:01 - It’s important to remember that the 122 TM shoots accurately and packs a strong punch, but not too often due to long reload time.

04:10 - However, a skilled player can turn it to their advantage.

04:14 - There is enough time after each shot to fall back, stop being spotted, and emerge in another spot to fire again.

04:23 - All without losing DPM. In a nutshell, the 122 TM is a tank for having fun and earning credits.

04:34 - It’s for slow-paced battles when you can drive to a position, take a shot, and fall back for a relatively long reload.

04:42 - It’s the time for a thoughtful assessment of situation and choosing the next target.

04:49 - The 122 TM is a vehicle for those who don’t like to rush but like to regularly deal damage.

04:57 - And not some mere 240 or 320 points, but a whole 400! After receiving the 122 TM, a new chapter of the “Lunar Challenge” is unlocked: daily Lunar Missions that can only be completed in this “Chinese ox”.

05:19 - The sooner you obtain this tank, the more missions you’ll be able to complete.

05:24 - And the more chances for you to properly decorate this beast.

05:30 - Apart from the rewards, each mission brings a discount for a bundle with a flashy 3D style.

05:38 - By accumulating discounts, you’ll be able to obtain it for free.

05:42 - Alternatively, you can purchase it with in-game gold.

05:48 - With an outfit like this, the 122 TM will really stand out on the battlefield.

05:54 - No one will be able to ignore the triumphant roar of this beast.

06:02 - The Lunar Challenge begins! Don’t miss your chance to tame this amazing Chinese ox, and gain fortune in battle along with it! Its year has come!.
