Commanders,

 

August is the perfect time to adorn your tanks for Blitz Games! During the period from 5 to 21 August, players will have the opportunity to receive new colorful camouflage for their vehicles as a reward for completing special missions!

 

How will the vehicle look with the event camouflage applied?

 

How can I receive a special mission?

Special missions will randomly appear in one of the slots for ordinary missions. To start receiving special missions after the beginning of the event, the player needs to complete ordinary missions (or skip them).

 

How many rare missions at a time can the player get?

Rare missions appear randomly in vacant slots, however, the player can receive only one special mission at a time per three slots.

 

Will I receive compensation if the mission was completed with a vehicle that already has this camo unlocked?

If the mission was completed again with a vehicle that already has the event camo unlocked, the player will receive 20,000 credits as compensation. The compensation is also provided when the mission was completed in a special tank for which changing camo is unavailable (for example, the IS-3 Defender). Credits are accrued without an additional notification, and the amount of compensation is summed up with the amount of credits received for the battle when the mission was completed.

 

What vehicles can the event camo apply to?

The event camo can be applied to any vehicle allowing camo change. However, it cannot be applied to special vehicles with “in-built” camo (for example, the IS-3 Defender, Т-34-58 Rudy, Kuro Mori Mine, and Anko Special), in such cases the player will receive 20,000 credits as compensation instead of the event camouflage.

 

What bonus does the improved camouflage have?

The camouflage gives the vehicle a fixed bonus to its concealment, depending on the vehicle class:

• Light and medium tanks: 3%
• Heavy tanks : 2%
• Tank destroyers: 4%

 

Can I skip the event mission?

You can skip event missions for free (once a day as any other mission) or using gold (if you want to skip more than one mission a day). You can also skip ordinary missions to increase your chance of receiving event missions that have a higher change of appearance during the event term than ordinary missions. Completed missions can be reset using gold.

 

What is the cost of skipping an event mission?

The cost of the second skip is the same as for a standard mission: 50 gold. At the same time, the player can refresh an already completed mission using 50 gold, if they don’t want to wait until the regular mission update at 8:00 and 20:00 (Moscow time).

 

How much will event camouflage resupply cost?

• Tier I: 500 credits
• Tier II: 750 credits
• Tier III: 1,000 credits
• Tier IV: 1,250 credits
• Tier V: 1,500 credits
• Tier VI: 1,750 credits
• Tier VII: 2,000 credits
• Tier VIII: 2,250 credits
• Tier IX: 2,500 credits
• Tier X: 3,000 credits

Camouflage is automatically resupplied using credits if you check the Autoresupply box in the camouflage screen.

 

On what tab in the camouflage menu does the event camo display?

The camo will be placed in the Rare tab. During the event, this camo displays as locked if it hasn’t been unlocked for the selected vehicle.

 

Can I sell this camo?

You can either resupply or remove the camo. It cannot be sold: this camo will always be available for the vehicle. If you sell the vehicle, and then buy it again, the camouflage will still be available.

 

Where can I see the list of completed/not completed missions?

Unfortunately, we don’t have a list in the game client. These missions are distributed randomly. However, you can find the list of all possible rare missions and their descriptions below.

 

In what slots can I install the event camo?

After you complete the mission and unlock the event camo, you can install it in any slot: Summer, Winter, or Desert.

 

What special missions will be available during the event? 

The complexity of event missions vary; you may receive any mission from the below list:

Mission Name	Description
Powerful Forward	Destroy 3 enemy vehicles over any number of battles. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Moving Target	Destroy 1 enemy vehicle in one battle. Your team must win the battle. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Medal Count	Join the top 3 players by XP earned among your teammates. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Champion	Win 2 battles. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Marathon	Fight battles: 7 Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Pursuit Race	Destroy 5 enemy vehicles over any number of battles. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Record	Receive 3,500 XP over any number of battles. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Sharp Shooter	Join the top 5 players by damage dealt among both teams. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Shell Throwing	Cause 5,000 HP of damage over any number of battles. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Long Distance	Win 4 battles. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Heavy Weight	Destroy 2 enemy vehicles in one battle. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Fight for Medal	Join the top 3 players by XP earned among your teammates. Your team must win the battle. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Team Spirit	Survive the battle. Your team must win the battle. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Freestyle Wrestling	Survive 2 battles in a row. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.
Sprint	Destroy 1 enemy vehicle in one battle. Survive the battle. Drive a vehicle of any Tier.

 

Is it possible that I might never receive a special mission that was previously skipped, and I won’t have a chance to complete some rare missions because of that?

This is possible if you don’t complete missions regularly. Since the event missions are distributed randomly, you should complete and/or skip regular missions frequently to increase your chances of receiving an event mission.

Where can I find the progress bar? Is it solo or the whole server?

Progress bar is at the main page of the portal. http://wotblitz.asia/.

 

Update: Just a clarification, the progress bar is for all servers meaning everyone who plays Blitz contributes to getting the goal and ultimately the special medals and premium prize.

The camoflage looks like graffity and vandalism . Can we have additional historically accurate camoflage like this game is suppose to be . Not like the unhistorical guns you can mount tanks like the stug's 7,5cm pak42 L70

Missions appear randomly in one of the 3 available mission slots.

[Jonathan_2014]

Don't think too many people are interested.

[wombat_15_1]

Have not received any of these missions, have reinstalled twice still nothing.

You actually don't need to reinstall. Just keep completing or skipping missions and you'll get one eventually.

Thanks for that

[LeadFaun]

Done at least 4 missions and I still haven't gotten the mission. Same thing happened with the soccer camo.

(not really a fan of these unrealistic camo's though, I'd rather more like the one's found on PC)

[SwordPoint]

Hi Elphaba, thanks for putting together the FAQs! However I am still unclear on two issues. Hope you can held to provide some clarity:

 

- For the premium time award, is it 5 days of premium for each gold medal (one per event such as taekwando, heavy lifting, etc) that is obtained by all the servers combined? Or is it 5 days premium only if all the servers can collectively achieve the gold medal in "overall progress."

- In the NA server, their news included the following sentence to qualify for premium time award: "To qualify, you must have taken part and completed the event at least once, and played at least 50 battles during the duration of the event." I assume the same criteria is applied to Asia server too (even though it is not reflected in Asia server news). I wanted to check if we must play 50 battles per event (taekwando, heavy lifting, etc) to qualify, or is it 50 battles collectively? The link to the NA server news is here:  link.

 

Thank you.

In any case, I've brought this issue up with the other servers to see if they're also getting complaints about the rarity of the missions. Will keep you guys posted.

The 5 days premium is only if the combined effort of all servers manage to reach the Gold Medal in the overall progress.

 

I'm also puzzled with the NA news because as far as I know, it's just play more than 50 battles. I'll double check on this and keep you posted.

Sorry for off topic but can an administrator let us know what is going on with PC Match making queue?  Wait time's have got horrendous since Maintenance yesterday.

Seems there is now a separate MM queue and server for PC?

Waiting 4-5 min for a match is very frequent and destroying the game.

Thank you.

 

Just received confirmation: It's 50 battles (Random and/or Supremacy) as long as it's within the event period prior to reaching the gold medal goal. Pretty much works the same as the previous race events only without the specific tank requirements.

Blitz for PC/Mac has always had a separate MM queue but it's still on the same server. Wait time depends on how many people are available that are within the tier limits of the vehicle you're using. I'll still ask to check on this though.

Thanks for the reply.  Something definitely changed with the Blitz MM for PC.  Before yesterday If I was waiting for more than a minute I'd been disconnected. Now in the mornings (NZ time) normal seems to be 2 to 3 minutes and often five.   Also, until yesterday, never having been in one, I didn't even know you could have matches with less than 7 players each side, this morning 3 or 4 each side was normal (I stopped playing in disgust and went and did stuff outside).  Many players have been commenting on the small teams and wait times for MM in game.   Also, my regular platoon mates that play on I-pad are not keen to plat with me now after experiencing the wait times in platoon with me....

Elphaba, your information is incorrect, the queue was merged for some time and recently separated again

see my answer above

[SwordPoint]

Thank you once again for your prompt responses, Elphaba!

Good to see that all the servers are on the same page.

[XxBoomzHeadShotzxX]

I have been waiting for almost a week now and I still have not gotten any camo mission and for the football fever I got the camo for my anko but I don't think I got any compensation

 

[XxBoomzHeadShotzxX]

And also Elphaba my clan mate on blitz pc waited for about a minute for mm and only had a 3v3 encounter battle
