[b]Commanders![/b] The festive season may be behind us, but the fun in World of Tanks never ends! Jump back into the traditional winter excitement with the familiar [b]Snowballs[/b] and [b]Ice Age[/b] submodes. Both submodes are [b]available simultaneously in the Arcade Cabinet[/b] via the mode selector across two consecutive launches. Enjoy [b]single-tier, 15v15 battles with Tier VIII or Tier X vehicles[/b] across six snowy maps featuring winter-themed mechanics.

Plus, both submodes can take place on special winter versions of [b]Karelia, Prokhorovka, and Malinovka[/b].

Shells become snowballs with curved trajectories, reload times are shorter, and [b]engine power is boosted[/b] for all vehicles. Plus, [b]HE shells deal extra splash damage[/b], adding to the chaos!

Enjoy smooth drifting as rounds fly faster and [b]dispersion during movement and traverse is reduced[/b]. Add boosted engine power and top speeds, and you're in for a wild ride!
