Commanders, the next Battle Pass season awaits you on March 4th with new rewards!
Main rewards of the season
Viper No.3 (BR II, USA)
A compact experimental British submachine gun chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum, using MP 40 magazines. Originally developed as a personal defense weapon for the military police, presumably for motorcyclists who only had one free hand.
In the Elite Battle Pass, you will also find a unique IL-2M type 3 and a unique camouflage for the Ha-Go.
IL-2M type 3 “Red 28” (USSR)
Ha-Go - “205” Imperial Navy Marine corps
In this Battle Pass, you will receive an aircraft that can be assigned to its respective Attacker pilot squad and a camouflage that you can apply through the “Customization” menu of the respective tank.
And of course unique soldiers for Japan and Germany:
Masashi Ito - Machine Gunner II (Japan)
Friedrich Lengfeld - Rifleman III (Germany) - requires Elite BP
As a reminder, Elite BP owners receive four unique weapons, two unique soldiers, one unique tank camouflage and one aircraft with unique camouflage by progressing in the Battle Pass. Meanwhile, players with basic BP receive one weapon and one unique soldier of the season.
I mean, cool skin and all and I’ll be happy to get it, but last battle pass had two soviet vehicles, did we need another soviet one instead of a new western Allied or Euro Axis vehicle?
The gun’s stats look fairly strong, seems like a PPS 43 for the Western Allies but with high dispersion. I guess it’ll play like the BP soviet SMG, good up close but bad at range.
During the bloody battle for Hurtgen Forest in late 1944, a 23-year-old German lieutenant heard a wounded American soldier crying for help in a minefield. Lt. Friedrich Lengfeld ordered his men not to shoot any American medics who might try to rescue the man. When no help came after hours of listening to the man’s cries, Lengfeld led his own medics into the minefield to save him. The decision would lead to Lengfeld’s death. The American soldier’s identity remains unknown. Fifty years later, American veterans erected what may be the only U.S. monument honoring a German soldier from World War II.
“You can’t go to any greater extreme than to give your life trying to rescue someone you are fighting as your enemy in war.”
Masashi Itō
Masashi Itō (1921–2004) was a sergeant in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, recognized as one of the last Japanese “resisters” to surrender, remaining on the island of Guam for almost 16 years after the end of the conflict.
