World of Tanks News

Commanders!

While map environment interaction has always been a fundamental aspect of World of Tanks gameplay, the last significant update occurred back in 2018 with the release of Update 1.0. Since then, we’ve explored various options for the future development of World of Tanks battlefields.

Now, the game has entered a new phase of its evolution with the introduction of Random Events. Initially unveiled during Recon Mission 2023, Random Events passed through all stages of development, including prototyping and testing in the Common Test, and will make their debut on the live servers with the release of Update 1.23.

[h2]A Brief Recap of Random Events[/h2]

Let's refresh your memory of what Random Events are.

• Available on four maps: Himmelsdorf, Ruinberg, Prokhorovka, and Safe Haven.
  
  
• Occur at specific times, significantly affecting extensive areas of the maps. This impact creates fresh pathways for vehicles, potentially obstructing existing ones, while also establishing new cover and firing positions.
  
  
• Random Events Are Now Truly Random! Each event on any of the four maps has its own specific launch probability, which depends on the current combat situation. To avoid disrupting some familiar combat scenarios, Random Events are not guaranteed to happen and may not even occur during battle. Stay vigilant and always keep the situation on the battlefield under control!
  
  
• The Random Event zone will be marked by red smoke. As you approach its border, a warning notification will appear. Upon entering the zone, the countdown to the event launch begins. Use this time to take up the most strategic position within or outside the zone. Be cautious of collisions with large objects generated during the event, as they may destroy your vehicle.

Random Events on the four maps are just the beginning. Our efforts involve the gradual redesign of more maps to deliver more dynamic content like this to you, so look out for more developments in the future!

Stay tuned and good luck, Commanders!

Watch the Map Guide video and read all about the Prokhorovka map to discover useful tips and tricks for every vehicle class, insider strategies, and more.

Prokhorovka is popular—especially among SPG players, scouts, and snipers—for its vast open space. The 1,000×1,000-meter landscape has a summer setting and is available for vehicles from Tier IV through Tier X. Key elements that determine the course of action are a road in the west that runs north and south, a ridge in the center, a village in the center to the right of the railway tracks, and an elevated hill area in the southeast. The map is characterized by long stretches of grass, bushes, and trees, with little protection against artillery fire.

Prokhorovka has plenty of opportunities for every playstyle, but a good view range and high accuracy over long distances are definite pluses for dominating the battle.

Generally open terrain featuring a large hill and a railway embankment. Scattered trees provide concealment for tank destroyers. On the offensive, strike against the enemy’s flanks, but don't leave your own flanks unguarded. Artillery enjoy good fields of fire but are still vulnerable to raids by light tanks.
