World of Tanks News

Update 1.16.1 is coming, Commanders!

Try out the new features in the aiming interface, fight as Strategists and Tankers in the newest Art of Strategy event, and get ready for the return of Frontline, featuring game and balance adjustments!



[h2]New Vehicle Outlining[/h2]

We’re introducing two new features to the aiming interface to help you hit opponents with greater accuracy.

The rendering of various obstacles that are inside the vehicle collision model will be useful when aiming at enemy vehicles that are obstructed by bushes, fences, etc. When you see an opponent in the crosshair, obstacles inside its collision model will be highlighted with two types of special rendering, depending on whether the shell can penetrate them or not.

Vehicle outlining by collision model will help you identify all the external "through" elements on a potential target that it makes no sense to aim at. The hull and turret of all vehicles will be highlighted by the collision model, while the suspension will still be outlined by the visual model.

By default, these new features will be disabled in the game client. You can enable them manually in the Reticle tab in the game settings.

Important: Enabling these settings may cause performance issues, especially on low-spec PCs.

The new vehicle outlining is an experimental solution that significantly affects the aiming process and your gameplay experience. We're getting mixed feedback on these changes and will continue to monitor them closely to see what impact they may have on key game parameters. With your help, we will see what the future holds for this feature.

Greetings, Commanders!

TO THE LEADERBOARD! [EU] TO THE LEADERBOARD! [NA] TO THE LEADERBOARD! [ASIA]

Once again, here's what you’ll receive in your Annual Reward:



You can grab your Annual Reward and redeem from one to three different items of improved equipment of your choice until September 2022. Each item of equipment is available for selection only once.

If you don't make a selection by September 2022, improved equipment will be automatically credited according to the following priority:

• Increased Shell Resistance
• Improved Compressor
• Innovative Loading System

EXAMPLES

1. If you have already redeemed Increased Shell Resistance as part of your Annual Reward and, after that, you still have one more piece of equipment to choose from, then you will be credited with Improved Compressor.
   
2. If you have redeemed Experimental Optics (for example) as part of your Annual Reward and, after that, you still have one more piece of equipment to choose from, then you will be credited with Increased Shell Resistance according to the list of equipment priority mentioned above.
   

Any remaining Rank Tokens will be converted to bonds at the following rate: 1 Rank Token = 500 bonds.

The 114 SP2 won’t be added to the list of exclusive Ranked Battles items for bonds and will only be available as part of the Annual Reward.

Tickets regarding the positions on the leaderboard and rewards will be accepted only within 30 days of the Season closing.

Thank you for your time, passion, and dedication, Commanders—we really appreciate your engagement! Stay tuned and roll out!
