The first season pass of 2026 for World of Tanks is approaching, with three tanks receiving new 3D styles!

After the fierce combat of version 2.1.1, the inaugural 2026 Battle Pass for *World of Tanks*, marking its nineteenth season, is finally arriving with the forthcoming version 2.2 update.

Consistent with previous updates, this one will also introduce 3D styles for three Tier X tanks. Two of these are the iconic "Gundam" heavy tank T110E5 and the enduringly favored sniper tank destroyer Grille 15. Both enjoy considerable popularity and come with their own Tier XI counterparts, maintaining strong appeal in the current meta.

To meet the demands of polar operations, the open-topped Grille 15 underwent significant modifications. The vehicle is draped with extensive camouflage netting to conceal itself in complex environments. Rubber side skirts were added to the hull to reduce dust clouds while moving, preventing detection by the enemy. A bulldozer blade was installed at the front to clear mines and snowdrifts, facilitating movement.

On the turret, the "Polar Sentinel" Pz. 15 has an additional welded frame for mounting camouflage netting and sports an anti-aircraft radar to counter aerial threats. These somewhat desperate, ad-hoc modifications carry a darkly humorous, end-of-war vibe and are quite hardcore.

In contrast, the T110E5's "Northern Watch" style is vastly different, exuding sheer aggressiveness. Oversized track grousers and two eerie yellow headlights seem to transform it into a fearsome winter demon.

Its turret also features numerous details: a "Ma Deuce" machine gun added before the loader's hatch, in keeping with American tradition; a radar set mounted on the turret bustle, but with purpose-built welded housing, appearing more professional than the Grille 15's makeshift installation. A crate of water and gasoline is also strapped on, enhancing the field deployment atmosphere.

The third tank to receive a 3D style is the Vz. 71 T. While less popular, it is functionally distinct and offers advanced gameplay. Given its unique mechanics, its Tier XI variant might also shine brightly. Confident commanders can take advantage of the Battle Pass season to start training their crews!

Its style follows the same hardcore, practical theme as the other two. On the lower front hull, it gains a towing winch for recovering stuck allies. Camouflage netting is also added to cover areas where the paint scheme isn't fully applied.

However, the Vz. 71 T's turret isn't as hastily modified. It features a DShK heavy machine gun on the left side, a radar unit on top, and a coil of cable at the rear. Overall, this fits the technically proficient persona of its commander and feels authentic to real combat.

Furthermore, starting this year, the Battle Pass will introduce two new Tier IX special vehicles as redeemable rewards. They are the Japanese tank destroyer Scavenger and the Soviet heavy tank KB-52. The former is a twin-barreled TD with a turret, while the latter combines the toughest elements of two Soviet Tier IX heavies, both being very lively choices.

In summary, the upcoming 19th Battle Pass season continues the hardcore style beloved by commanders, delivering exquisite, combat-realistic 3D styles. The two new reward tanks are also promising. It's believed this *World of Tanks* version 2.2 update will leave a lasting impression!
