[h2]Improved Maps[/h2]

Hit the enlarged (1,000×1,000 meter) and refurbished Ensk Region in battles where the top vehicle tier is VIII, IX, or X. Play on thoroughly reworked Airfield which now features a huge cave and a crusader castle, and check out the upgrades to Paris and the tweaks to Mines.
MORE DETAILS
[h2]Rebalanced Vehicles[/h2]

Try out the rebalanced TDs from four branches topped off by the T110E4, the Object 268, the Jagdpanzer E 100 (with the Jageroo itself unaffected), and the Ho-Ri 3 (the latter the only one nerfed a bit). As usual, the number of modules has been decreased, module upgrade paths have been streamlined, and stock configurations have been enhanced for the reviewed vehicles.
COMPLETE SCOPE

Commanders!

Characters from the renowned "Peaky Blinders" TV series descend upon World of Tanks as voiced crew members in an epic Battle Pass Special. Take part in this undertaking to recruit them and procure the brand-new Char Murat, a fast French autoloader medium with a Birmingham soul, in the assertive "Tommy" 3D style!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Meet the Shelby Family[/h2]
The Shelby family enters the world of large caliber guns, bringing their guile, cunning, and grit. Tommy, Arthur, and John know a thing or two about humble beginnings and are no strangers to fighting in the mud. Employ these rough, streetwise characters as voiced crew members—you won’t regret it!



[h2]Procure the Char Murat in the "Tommy" 3D Style[/h2]
“You don’t get what you deserve. You get what you take.” This fast medium tank with an autoloader is for those who live by the words of Tommy Shelby. It can offer you overwhelming firepower, unleashed in just a few seconds. Be as calculating and decisive as Tommy: Shape the moment when the risks you take will pay the biggest dividends!


Much like the lives of many characters from Peaky Blinders, the “Tommy” 3D style for the Char Murat is also defined by the Great War. And though the war has ended, its memory lingers in every man's mind, and every soldier carries it home in his heart.

The details of the style speak volumes about the things the Shelby boys hold dear. It is a symbol of their resilience and refusal to be broken. So, while the steel might be from France, the heart of this style was forged in the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham.
