Hello everyone,
a preview with some pictures of the Christmas mode.
Inside:
- the mode is called “New Year Mode” in Russian
- it’s similiar to the earlier “8-bit” mode with Karl
- there will be three tanks (one is “Mammoth” – boxy T110E5, second is “Raider” – in English it’s called “Arctic Fox” for some reason and it’s based on T-50-2, third is “Berserker” – in English “Polar Bear” and it’s based on Foch 155)
- the tanks are roughly similiar in sizes and guns, but the Mammoth has huge amount of hitpoints (5000)
- Arctic Fox (T-50-2) has few hitpoints, but 20 tons with 1200hp engine and 70 km/h maximum speed with 65 deg/s hull traverse
- platoons will be possible
- amount of players per team is not published yet
- you’ll get a medal for participating
- the gameplay will resemble the Karl mode, with one exception – healing shells: if you shoot your allies with them, you’ll heal their hitpoints
Wrong video?
Edit: Oh, it has been changed.
Edit: On the main FTR page the video is the WG teleshopping video but when the post is opened the special mode video is there. ??????
Edit: Oh, has been fixed I see.
Another Edit ?
One thing to note – at the end Jove proceeds to tell how he and a group of other streamers/Youtubers went to WG office to meet developers. He then boasts that it was them who suggested healing rounds for SPGs to solve “game breaking by arty” problem. But since it would be “too elvish” they then suggested healing rounds to be used in one of the upcoming “fun” modes.
- the gameplay will resemble the Karl mode, with one exception – healing shells: if you shoot your allies with them, you’ll heal their hitpoints
So now we have some RPG battle , when E5/F155 brawl, and T-50-2 and other stay behind and keep shoot at ally’s ass for buff hp =]]]]]]]
Meantime on EU server: banned for repetitive team damage with healing rounds…
What “ciao cacao” means? (the last words from the movie)
Just a fancy way to say “bye”. Similar to “see you later alligator” and such.
Karl would be proud.
RIP Karl
Does someone know exactly what will female crew have?2 bia or what?
Looks like the Chinese Server players will be very interested with ‘healing shells’……
That’s what happens when you outsource your HD model production to the lowest bidder.
Jove… I hate this whine baby.

The Mammoth reminds me of the Crusader tank from C&C: Generals
So what special abilities does the foch have?
We don’t know. The Frenchie refuses to speak English.
So wait; whenever we want something where a little player thought is required the answer is “No; because it will confuse people”
And now you’re asking me to shoot my teammates?
ERROR – DOES NOT COMPUTE!
The t-50-2 is coming back!!!! i cant wait i so cant god damn wait!!!
*partys!*
Sounds a lot like Robocraft actually, just blocky and without flyers/drones. :P
all just just childish crud for kids….
Looks like we will be getting 3 complete crews with 100% training out of this, so I’m glad already.
Do we get to keep the crews?
