DISCOVER NEW TANKS

[h2]Revamped Perk System[/h2]
Now, each crew member can learn up to six perks, and the XP earned thereafter will allow you to receive Universal Training Manuals. Additionally, enjoy:
  • New and Rebalanced Perks: Both new and old perks have been updated. You now have six personal and three group perks available for each specialization.
  • Bonus Perks: Each additional role for your crew member will include three bonus perks that develop alongside the main specialization. This will help vehicles with smaller crews perform more effectively in battle.
  • Perk Efficiency: To ensure a perk is 100% effective, it must be learned by all crew members in that role.
  • One Month of Free Perk Resets: Enjoy a month of free resets to experiment and optimize your crew. Afterward, each crew member will have one additional free reset with no time limit.
