Armored Warfare players are getting a free tank in their Christmas stockings very soon

With Christmas just around the corner, My.com and Obsidian are putting something special in the digital stockings of all Armored Warfare players. It is, of course, a tank, so you might need to invest in a slightly larger stocking this year. 

The teaser doesn't come right out and say it, but it looks very much like players will be getting their hands on the T-59, the Chinese battletank based on the Russian T-54A.

I won't pretend that I can rattle off the name of a tank just by looking at it, but the video's accompanying music and the references to the "old generations of tank games" – which no doubt means World of Tanks – makes it pretty clear what the tank in question is. In Wargaming's F2P game, the T-59 is one of the more sought after high tier vehicles, but was removed from the in-game store for the sake of balance.

There's no due date yet, but the tank is expected very soon.
