World of Tanks – Operation Postman

From May 6th to May 13th, players will step into the boots of an elite Allied tank commander in the thrilling new PvE mission, Operation Postman. Set in the tense final days of World War II, the objective is clear but dangerous: deliver a message behind enemy lines to inform Allied troops that the war is over. Players will enter combat in a uniquely camouflaged M24 Chaffee, supported by an international tank crew equipped with special tactical abilities such as "Scout Around" to recon enemy positions and "False Order" to mislead German patrols. Dense minefields block all approaches to the castle, prompting players to explore the enemy base, locate command posts, and search for maps that reveal a safe route. Once tankers complete challenges, trusty Chaffee will stay with their tank collection permanently.

On May 10th at 15:00 UTC, Wargaming and The Tank Museum in Bovington, UK will present a special livestream commemorating VE Day. It will be hosted by World of Tanks Head of Military Relations and Tank Regiment Veteran Richard Cutland, and Head of Marketing and Engagement at The Tank Museum, Nik Wyness. Join them and some very special guests as they delve onto the significance of VE Day, the key stages of WWII and the evolution of armour throughout this period. Viewers can also expect valuable Mystery Drops on Twitch throughout the stream and a chance to win premium vehicles and more. Between May 8th  at 9:00am and May 12th 9:00am UTC, tankers can also earn x5 XP multipliers for the first victory of the day, along with gold discounts on Premium vehicles, and credit discounts on researchable vehicles, consumables, and equipment.
