Mackensen — an event vehicle Battlecruiser for Germany at Rank VI
[p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/4e7025e9e28531de37098711f087f986b678512c.jpg"][/img][/p][p][/p][p align="justify"]Battlecruiser Mackensen was a further development of the successful Derffinger design, featuring improved speed and armor, and significantly superior armament — 350 mm guns instead of the previous 305 mm. Construction of the lead ship of the Mackensen class began in 1915 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. However, military difficulties led to significant delays. By November 1918, Mackensen had reached 85% completion, but according to the Treaty of Versailles, she and the other three ships in the class were scrapped between 1921 and 1922.[/p][p align="justify"]In War Thunder, Mackensen is a solid competitor against other late First World War ships. The main advantages of this vessel are excellent armament consisting of eight 350 mm guns, good armor protection and a maximum speed of 28 knots (around 50 km/h), making Mackensen one of the fastest battlecruisers of the era. The weak point however is the lack of automatic short-range anti-aircraft weaponry. Mackensen can also take large 600 mm torpedoes into battle in five torpedo tubes.[/p][p][/p]| [p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/4efe73cfb456a34d29919f6e1f8eef4ecdc432e8.png"][/img][/p] | [p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/e7bfa531f48853d03444f10d5c7c23fce0890393.png"][/img][/p] | [p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/7ad8097645da2b7c87da85766615c7bb20836be6.png"][/img][/p] | [/tr]

Discounts for purchasing stages using Golden Eagles
[p align="justify"]Incomplete stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will be significantly reduced.[/p][p align="justify"]Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 39,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 43,000 mission points, then you’ll only need 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you run out of time for a stage![/p][p][/p]The coupon upgrade
