Our game has a huge variety of different features and gameplay possibilities. One of the most exciting is the ability to cooperate with your friends and play together in a platoon, and if you have never checked it out, now is the perfect time to do so!

Playing in a platoon lets you have a whole new gaming experience, as you can explore various tactical possibilities, quickly share the important information about the opponents’ actions, cover each other’s back and overall be extremely effective on your way to victory.

And besides all that, now you have another reason to try it out, as we are introducing a series of special combat missions which will be available for the next three weekends for you to enjoy!

[h2]The Brand-New Milton Pact 3D Style for the Concept 1B[/h2]

This Season, we'll update the list of exclusive Ranked Battles goodies available for bonds. This time, we’ve added the brand-new Milton Pact 3D style for the Concept 1B. You can get it for 5,000 bonds once you reach the Second Division.

The imposing and eye-catching Milton Pact custom look continues the visual concept of the Garmr 3D style for the Kampfpanzer 50 t, which was introduced in Season 2. It will turn your Concept 1B into a formidable hunk of steel and granite, within which a bright flame burns. The style has an unusual effect—you can see drops of burning lava falling from the vehicle's hull. Just looking at it will leave your opponents in awe and make your allies jealous, so if you have the Concept 1B in your Garage, this style is a must!



[expand]

[/expand]
Remember: You can get this style and other exclusive items below with your personal cumulative discount. Its size will depend on your progress during the Season.


[h2]Improved Reward Screen[/h2]

We also improved the reward selection screen, so now it will be even easier to redeem the pieces of improved equipment you will receive as part of the Annual Reward. This year, you’ll be able to grab up to three different items of improved equipment of your choice from all existing equipment in this category, including Improved Compressor and Increased Shell Resistance, which are currently exclusive to Ranked Battles and unavailable for bonds. Think carefully before selecting!

[h2]Progression System: A Quick Recap[/h2]

The final Season has the same basic rules. We're sure you remember them, but here’s a small summary just in case:

• Battles take place in the 10v10 format in Tier X vehicles.
  
• No more than one SPG and two light tanks per team will be allowed in battles.
  
• To ascend in rank in order to qualify for Leagues, you need to earn the following amount of chevrons:
  
  • EU: 94 chevrons
    
  • CIS: 94 chevrons
  • NA: 70 chevrons
    
  • APAC: 70 chevrons

When you qualify for a League, you’ll be able to complete special daily missions. There will be three missions in total, and each one can be completed in vehicles of four different roles. In total, missions for 12 different vehicle roles will be available. They will reward you with bonds and Daily Bonus Battles.

[h2]Fight Hard to Earn Season Rewards![/h2]

The closing Season brings tons of valuable rewards for your performance in battle. Select your favorite Tier X vehicles and engage the enemy to grab credits, consumables, bonds, and much more!

[expand]













[/expand]
Season rewards also include a glorious 2D style for Tier X vehicles (one for each League). Plus, you will receive an exclusive badge for each League.

[h2]Be Part of the Ranked Elite![/h2]

Want to compare your battle performance with other tank aces fighting in Ranked Battles? Check out the special Leaderboard that will highlight the names of the top Ranked Battles 2021–2022 players when the Season ends. This ranking will be determined by your effectiveness throughout all three Seasons. Only the best 200 players will be listed on the Leaderboard, so try your hardest to get to the top and lead the ranked elite!



If you make it to the Leaderboard, you’ll receive the unique Ranked Battles Champion badge that you can apply as a symbol of glory and tank mastery.

[h2]Make the Final Push and Grab Your Annual Reward![/h2]

Based on the results of the three Seasons of Ranked Battles 2021–2022, the bravest and most skilled players will get the long-awaited Annual Reward. Depending on the number of Rank Tokens you have earned, you will receive one of the four rewards. This Season is your last chance to earn up to five Rank Tokens, so do your best to get a better Annual Reward!

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.
   

[h2]The 114 SP2: Everything You Need for Good Hunting[/h2]

The main reward in Ranked Battles 2021–2022 is the 114 SP2, a Tier X Chinese tank destroyer. This mighty predator features a fully rotating turret and has everything you need for good hunting. Despite its light armor, the 114 SP2 is extremely dangerous in duels at any distance thanks to its powerful and accurate gun that causes 650 HP of alpha damage.

High concealment values, great armor penetration, and short aiming time make this vehicle perfect for ambushing enemies, leaving them no chance of escape. The 114 SP2 is worth fighting for, so make the final push to add it to your tank collection!

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[expand]

[/expand]
[h2]When Can I Get My Annual Reward?[/h2]

Your Annual Reward and all the prizes it contains will be credited to your account within two weeks of the end of the Season—you’ll just need to log in to the game to grab it! Any remaining Rank Tokens will be converted to bonds at the following rate:

1 Rank Token = 500 bonds

Compensation will also occur automatically within two weeks of the end of Season 3.

Get ready to fight to the last and grab your Annual Reward, Commanders!

Update 1.16 is here, Commanders!

Get ready to advance through Progression Stages of the revamped Battle Pass kicking off in March. You can also experience battles on three improved Random Battle maps, as well as the addition of the Assault mode to several other Random Battles locales. Finally, the closing Season of Ranked Battles 2021–2022 is around the corner, so gather your strength to make the final push for Rank Tokens!



[h2]Map Balance Improvements[/h2]

We improved three Random Battle maps (Siegfried Line, Ghost Town, and Erlenberg) to address several minor issues and balance the gameplay possibilities for both teams. We’re sure that these changes will make your battles more enjoyable and your experience more comfortable. Plus, the following maps now support Assault Battles: Redshire, Steppes, Mannerheim Line, Tundra, Overlord, and Safe Haven.

[h2]Battle Pass: Season VII Is Coming![/h2]

In early March, the seventh Season of Battle Pass kicks off. It will run for almost three months and introduces several important changes.

The new Season will consist of three main Chapters, but now you can complete them in any order. You can also pause the completion of a Chapter and switch to a different one to grab the rewards you need the most.

This is the opening Season of 2022 and the first of the year in which you can earn Battle Pass Tokens—a special in-game currency. They will accumulate throughout the year in all Seasons of Battle Pass in which you participate in 2022. Use Battle Pass Tokens to redeem cool Tier IX reward vehicles, including two formidable brand-new tanks, the Cobra and the Lorraine 50 t.

A new Reward section of the in-game Store will be introduced where you’ll be able to redeem bonds and the following rewards:

• 3D styles for all Battle Pass Core Vehicles from the previous six Seasons
  
• Unique crew members from Season IV onwards
  

It will become available once you complete all three main Chapters. Plus, an additional time-limited Chapter with a special challenge will become available at the end of the Season.

And of course, the seventh Season will feature three new (and iconic!) Battle Pass Core Vehicles, each with its own unique progressive style: the Kranvagn, the Leopard 1, and the T110E4.
