The long-awaited Update 2.0 has arrived! This massive release brings a wave of game-changing features and new ways to experience World of Tanks. Here are the most important ones.[/p]
  • [p]Tier XI: Meet the New Top-Tier Titans! We are about to enter a bold new era of tactical power. Tier XI brings 16 new vehicles, each with unique mechanics and a special Upgrade system that replaces Field Modifications.[/p]
  • [p]Garage and UX Improvements. Get ready for the redesigned Garage, a unified tank factory where your vehicles are assembled, equipped, and always battle-ready.[/p]
  • [p]Hundreds of Vehicles Rebalanced and Reforged. This historic rework reshapes hundreds of vehicles across all nations, refining the progression through Tech Tree branches and making gameplay fairer and funner at every tier.[/p]
  • [p]A More Intelligent Matchmaking System. The new matchmaker will be smarter than ever. Expect significantly improved role-aware team compositions, more battles with tighter tier spreads, and limits on light tanks and tank destroyers on top of SPGs for more balanced battles.[/p]
  • [p]Personal Missions 3.0. The third Personal Missions campaign will test your battlefield prowess in three Operations of skill-based, role-focused missions without nation or class limits. Fair and achievable conditions will steadily bring you closer to the Tier VIII Windhund, the Tier X Dravec, and ultimately the Black Rock, a prestige Tier XI tank with a unique firing mechanic.[/p]
