Mission: Calm before the Storm

Listen, Gail, we’ve been through this. You know why I chose you and you know why I must do the same for him. No, don’t mention his name; you never know who is listening. This whole situation, it won’t last and you know what’s at stake. Now, be a good girl and begin the preparations. Do not mention your past, do not mention where you come from. He must not suspect a thing, not until he’s ready – and that is for me to decide.

• David Murdoch (phone call excerpt, March 2028)

Gail Espinoza and Samuel Thorpe are still wracking their brains about its composition since Murdoch’s connections gave them the access to pretty much all the tech in the world.

Now is the time to finally decide the future of the Perihelion outfit before its deployment. Based on your decisions in previous missions, we’ve determined that the interest in both MBTs and scout AFVs is roughly the same. That is why Perihelion’s outfit will definitely include:

• Reduced MBT company (two platoons of four tanks each)
• Scout platoon (armed with recon vehicles)

The third unit is yours to decide and will determine not only the story, but also the nature of the outfit, future skins and various bonuses available for using these vehicles. Read the Objectives and Special Rules sections carefully.

Time Frame:

• Start: March 7, 12:00 CET
• End: March 13, 21:59 CET

Objectives:

• Win 30 matches in any mode in one of the vehicles defined below. Read the Special Rules section for a full list of vehicles and consequences.

Rewards:

• 2 Platinum Loot Crates
• Perihelion Black base paint (or 440 Gold)

Special Rules:

Please note:

• You must use the vehicles from the lists below. You will receive the mission prize by using any of the listed vehicles but the most played category will determine the category winner along with its drawbacks and bonuses
• Combining categories for one completion is not possible – winning 10 matches in one category and 20 matches in another category will result in mission failure
• It is possible to complete the mission twice, each time with a different category (or twice with the same one)
• This choice will also affect future skins as well as Commander Samuel Thorpe’s skins in the future

The following categories are available:

Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Guns: You are fine with the composition as it is – a reduced tank company and a scout platoon. Some extra anti-air capability would do the outfit good but you believe the firepower is more than sufficient as is.

• Advantage: None (No change)
• Disadvantage: None (No change)

Mechanized Infantry: Heavy and fast IFVs that carry Mechanized Infantry. They accompany tanks into battle but carry enough firepower and troops to hold their own.

• Advantage: Future mission difficulty reduced by 10%
• Drawback: Future rewards decreased by 20%

Airborne: This group consists of light airmobile vehicle that can, in some cases, be deployed by parachuting. This allows them to surprise the enemy and sometimes capture more objectives than other vehicles would. The vehicles are extremely mobile and sometimes carry significant firepower, but are also quite fragile and can’t hold their own against heavy opposition.

• Advantage: Future rewards increased by 25%
• Drawback: Future mission difficulty increased by 25%

Tank Killers: A squad of dedicated Tank Destroyers to deal with any armored opponents. These can typically also be used as infantry fire support in any environment but the lack of IFVs for the infantry will limit the versatility of the formation.

• Advantage: Future rewards increased by 30%
• Drawback: Missions become more PvP focused

Artillery: Several pieces of self-propelled artillery bolster your ranks. Operating such tech is incredibly expensive and requires far more than just the vehicles, which means your overheads will not be as good. On the upside, such fire support can crack even the toughest defenses with ease.

• Advantage: Missions become more PvE focused
• Drawback: Future rewards decreased by 30%

We’d like to remind you to keep in mind we’ll definitely be checking the winners for their battle activities (entering a battle, doing little damage and leaving will lead to a disqualification).
