Today, April 20, a new location inspired by the battles at the Permilov Heights, which took place in November-December 1941 and ended on April 20, 1942, has appeared in 'World of Tanks'. It was here that the German troops were first halted and pushed back from the capital.

“This map is inspired by a historical feat that is difficult for modern people to fully comprehend. Our task is to ensure that these events do not remain a line in a textbook, but to keep them alive in people's minds. This means we need to talk about it where people spend their free time, including in our game,” said World of Tanks executive producer Andrey Zhakevich.

In creating objects, the developers drew inspiration from real structures of that time: the Yakhroma Bridge, lock No. 3 of the Moscow Canal, Dmitrovsky Railway Station, Yakhroma Textile Manufactory, and the Trinity Cathedral.

The events of the Battle for Moscow are reflected not only on the map dedicated to the battles at the Permilov Heights but also in a special in-game event for Victory Day. In it, players will recreate key episodes of the capital's defense in 1941 and confront the advancing enemy, played by bots. The battles will take place using historical vehicles from that period.
