• Skills “Combat Brotherhood” and “ Fighting girlfriends” will work in mixed crews.
• Added new mode- Ranked battles
• reworked combat missions:

  As part of the first iteration of the reworking of combat missions, the visual and functional part of the combat missions and promotions window was significantly changed.

  A new item "Combat missions" has appeared in the Garage, through which you can get to the corresponding screen. Combat missions are conditionally divided into three sections: strategic, tactical, as well as tasks for the selected vehicle.

  Strategic goals include tasks that require significant effort (for example, marathons).

  Tactical tasks include those that can be combined into certain groups according to their meaning (for example, daily combat missions, combat training, etc.).

  Each task is displayed as a tile, and all of them are conveniently sorted - the most priority ones are placed first. A detailed description of each task can be seen by expanding the tile. Thanks to the new representation of tasks in the Hangar interface, it will be much easier for you to understand them!

  Various promotions are constantly taking place in the game - in most of them, prices for vehicles, equipment, transfer of experience and much more are reduced. And now stocks are available from the "Shop" menu item. Each promotion is presented in the form of a tile with detailed description the item on which the discount is valid, the discount amount and other information. All tiles are interactive - by clicking on any of them, you can use the promotion offer directly in the game client.

  • "Warrior";
  • "For decisive battles";
  • "Conqueror";
  • "Crusher of fortresses";

The choice of "commander" voice acting makes voice notifications correspond not only to the nation, but also to the gender of the crew commander of the vehicle selected by the player. Thus, if the commander of your car is a girl, then the car itself will “speak” in a female voice.

• The following cars have been reworked in HD quality: KV-13, T-44, IS-2, BDR G1B, Renault FT 75 BS, Renault UE 57, Renault FT AC, Alecto, Excelsior, Vickers Mk.E Type B, STA -1, MTLS-1G14

Update 9.20 is coming to general test. You will find battles in the 30v30 format, Chinese tank destroyers and vehicle rebalance - about it, and soon you will find other materials about the changes in version 9.20.

In the meantime, here's everything that's fresh and interesting about Ranked Battles. Read and do not forget to share your opinions in a special topic on the forum. This will help us customize the update in more detail.

Ranked battles

The first beta season of Ranked Battles has just ended. We have analyzed all your feedback and want to make changes that should improve in the second beta season game process. These are the ones we will be testing as part of the general test of update 9.20.

Base mechanic changes

One of the most discussed topics on the forum concerned the simplicity of the mode. Basic mechanics the selection of players equal in skill worked, however, reaching the fifth rank was not a real difficulty for experienced tankers.

We tried to fix this by changing the mechanics of earning chevrons and ranks. The number of ranks will remain the same, but the number of chevrons required to reach the ranks will change. The distance between ranks will be as follows: 1-3-5-7-9 chevrons. It only takes one chevron to reach rank one, and as many as nine are needed to advance from rank four to five.

In addition, the mechanics of vehicle ranks will change. In the second beta season, any rank will cost 5 chevrons.

The mechanics of obtaining chevrons will also change. On the winning team, chevrons are earned by the top 10 players by experience. The remaining 5 winning players, as well as the top 5 players on the losing team, do not earn a chevron. Finally, the remaining 10 players on the losing team lose their chevron.

In this way, we want to encourage players to interact: despite personal results in ranked battles, victory remains a team achievement. That is why we have expanded the list of players who do not lose a chevron if the team loses. This means that even if the battle goes poorly and the enemy pushes in all directions, you should not give up. You need to continue to help the allies - your efforts will be rewarded.

Balancer Improvements

We found several critical points related to balance. And here's how we're going to solve them:

• We will improve the balance between teams in terms of the number of medium and heavy tanks.
• We will limit the number of self-propelled guns per team to two units.
• Let's add more maps and significantly improve their rotation. Due to this, the chances of getting on the same card all the time will decrease.

Reward

We will also review the mechanics of receiving rewards. From now on, you won't have to wait until the end of the season to get the bulk of the coupons you earn. The value of awards will also increase.

Testing stages

Testing of the second beta season of Ranked Battles will take place during the Public Test of Update 9.20. Join us — the next stage will last until August 9th.

Your feedback about the changes in the game is very important to us. Leave comments on the forum and share your opinions about Ranked Battles.

Update 9.20 goes to the public test. You will find battles in the 30v30 format, Chinese tank destroyers and vehicle rebalance - about it, and soon you will find other materials about the changes in version 9.20.

In the meantime - all the latest and most interesting things about Ranked Battles. Read and do not forget to share your opinions in a special topic on the forum. This will help us customize the update in more detail.

Ranked battles

The first beta season of Ranked Battles has just ended. We have analyzed all your feedback and want to make changes that should improve the gameplay in the second beta season. These are the ones we will be testing as part of the general test of update 9.20.

Base mechanic changes

One of the most discussed topics on the forum concerned the simplicity of the mode. The basic matchmaking mechanic worked, but reaching rank five was no real challenge for experienced tankers.

We tried to fix this by changing the mechanics of earning chevrons and ranks. The number of ranks will remain the same, but the number of chevrons required to reach the ranks will change. The distance between ranks will be as follows: 1-3-5-7-9 chevrons. It only takes one chevron to reach rank one, and as many as nine are needed to advance from rank four to five.

In addition, the mechanics of vehicle ranks will change. In the second beta season, any rank will cost 5 chevrons.

The mechanics of obtaining chevrons will also change. On the winning team, chevrons are earned by the top 10 players by experience. The remaining 5 winning players, as well as the top 5 players on the losing team, do not earn a chevron. Finally, the remaining 10 players on the losing team lose their chevron.

In this way, we want to encourage players to interact: despite personal results in Ranked Battles, victory remains a team achievement. That is why we have expanded the list of players who do not lose a chevron if the team loses. This means that even if the battle goes poorly and the enemy pushes in all directions, you should not give up. You must continue to help the allies - your efforts will be rewarded.

Balancer Improvements

We found several critical points related to balance. And here's how we're going to solve them:

We will improve the balance between teams in terms of the number of medium and heavy tanks.
We will limit the number of self-propelled guns per team to two units.
We will add more cards and significantly improve their rotation. Due to this, the chances of getting on the same card all the time will decrease.

Reward

We will also review the mechanics of receiving rewards. From now on, you won't have to wait until the end of the season to get the bulk of the coupons you earn. The value of awards will also increase.

Testing stages

Testing of the second beta season of Ranked Battles will take place during the Public Test of Update 9.20. Join us - the next stage will last until August 9th.
