These 12 Performances Could Be Best Actor Frontrunners of 2025
8. 2018
- Tanks: Type 59, Lorraine 40T, T26E5, and Scorpion G
The first-ever Holiday Ops loot boxes debuted with the legendary Type 59. The other tanks, Lorraine 40T, T26E5, and Scorpion G were mediocre at release, failing to leave a significant impact. With no guaranteed tank drops, 2018 was a modest start to what became a fan-favorite tradition. | © Wargaming
7. 2019
- Tanks: IS3-A, Obj. 252U, and Scorpion G
The 2019 lineup featured the IS-3A, Obj. 252U, and Scorpion G, are all superb at release but now struggling in the current meta. The IS-3A impressed with its reverse autoloader, while the Obj. 252U was a fortress on tracks. The Scorpion G remains fun but lacks its former edge. | © Wargaming
6. 2024
- Tanks: Tiger Maus, Obj. 752, GSOR 1010, Type 63, and XM-66
The 2024 Holiday Ops marked Wargaming’s first attempt at including Tier 9 tanks in loot boxes, but it felt like a failure. Among the offerings, only the XM-66 stood out, earning a spot as a competitive tank that still sees frequent play in random battles. | © Wargaming
5. 2021
- Tanks: Bisonte, GSOR 1008, ISU 152K, and Bourrasque
The 2021 Holiday Ops lineup mirrored 2022 in balance, but with the Bourrasque leading the charge. This high-skill, high-reward French medium tank brought unmatched mobility and a devastating two-shot autoloader, though its difficulty to master kept the loot boxes only in 5th place. | © Wargaming
4. 2022
- Tanks: M-IV-Y, Caliban, Skoda T56, and 122TM
The 2022 Holiday Ops lineup was solid, headlined by the incredible Skoda T56, a Tier 8 heavy tank with a monstrous two-shot autoloader that still dominates the meta. While the other tanks were not the most competitive, it was a balanced year with Skoda shining brightest. | © Wargaming
3. 2025
- Tanks: Toro, DZT-159, Squall, XM-57, and Contradictious
Despite initial criticism, 2025 Holiday Ops loot boxes provided something for everyone, catering to various playstyles. Without a doubt, the star of this year is XM-57, boasting an insane 630-alpha gun at Tier 8, making it a devastating force on the battlefield. | © Wargaming
2. 2020
- Tanks: Progetto 46, E75 TS, Obj, 702 II, and SU-130
The 2020 Holiday Ops loot boxes were a standout year, offering a lineup of premium tanks that were all exceptional, with most surpassing the average. Leading the pack was the Progetto 46, an overpowered medium tank that redefined flexibility on Tier 8. | © Wargaming
1. 2023
- Tanks: Char Mle-75, Vipera, BZ-176, Iron Arnie, AMBT
2023 Holiday Ops was the year with an unforgettable lineup of premium tanks, including the legend itself BZ-176, a Chinese heavy with rocket-assisted mobility and a devastating 160mm gun. The loot boxes also had Iron Arnie, one of the most heavily armored tanks on Tier 8. | © Wargaming
