The Winter Tales event will start on December 20, 2024, at 11:00 GMT and will run until January 9, 2025, at 11:00 GMT.

To participate, you'll need to complete tasks known as Marks of Distinction. You can choose from pilot, tanker, or sailor tasks or opt to complete all of them. Each game mode — Air Battles, Ground Battles, and Naval Battles — has 10 Marks of Distinction.

To finish each task, you must earn 40,000 mission points in random battles within the corresponding game mode. Vehicles used must be Rank III or higher (or Rank I for event vehicles). If you can't complete a Mark of Distinction, you have the option to purchase it using Golden Eagles until January 13, 2025.
