World of Tanks News

Every Commander has their favorite vehicles. They may be fully decorated with progressive decals and have the rarest awards, but you still enjoy playing them as much as you did the very first time. So how can you display your immense experience in these vehicles when they’re already at their best? That’s where the Elite Levels system comes in!

This new achievement system indicates your experience in a particular vehicle. It’s simple: the more experience you have earned in a vehicle, the higher its Elite Level. Let’s see how it works.

[h2]Elite Levels: Let the World See Your Wealth of Experience![/h2]

Elite Levels don’t provide you with any combat advantages or any additional rewards. Instead, they highlight your wealth of battle experience and let everyone see how well you know your vehicle. They are your personal point of pride and show how much of the most valuable resource—time—you have invested in your favorite vehicles.

The Elite Levels system will be introduced in Update 1.22.1 and only applies to Elite vehicles at Tier V and above. To achieve Elite status in a vehicle, you need to research all its modules and the subsequent vehicle(s) within its Tech Tree branch. After that, all the Combat XP you have earned in this vehicle will count toward the vehicle’s Elite Level.

Don't forget that all Premium and reward vehicles come with Elite status by default.

The main purpose of this system is to be visible to other players, so Elite Levels will be shown as a numerical counter:

• In the vehicle’s stats
  
  
• In the team panels in battle*
  
  
• On the Platoon screen
  
  

*You can adjust the width of team panels to display your preferred Elite Levels visualization in battle.

[h2]Progressing Through the Elite Levels[/h2]

There will be 350 Elite Levels in total. To increase your level, play in any regular in-game mode and battle type, where your Elite vehicles will earn Combat XP. Depending on the amount of Combat XP earned, you will receive special Elite Points. After you earn a certain number of Elite Points, your current level will be updated automatically, and you'll receive a notification in the Garage.


The more battles you play and the more Combat XP you earn, the higher your Elite Level will be. As your level increases, the color and design of the level icon will also change.

You can always check the current Elite Level of any vehicle in the Garage, as well as your progress toward the next level. You can also see your top vehicles with the highest Elite Level values in the Service Record tab.

Your Elite progress is based on all Combat XP previously earned by your vehicles in Random Battles only, minus XP for researching modules to reach Elite status. After Update 1.22.1 goes live, it will only include pure Combat XP earned in battle in any game mode.

Once reached, all Elite Levels are always with you, so you will never lose them.

If you don't want other players to see your current Elite Level, enable the Anonymizer in the game settings.

Get ready to climb the Elite Levels and let everyone see how experienced you are, Commanders!

Commanders!

We have been keeping a close eye on the latest season of Onslaught. Many of you have already started your journey through our competitive game mode, and there is still plenty of time left to become a Legend! However, we have noticed some minor issues that need adjustments in order to improve the experience for everyone.

The mid-season patch will affect the following features:

• Vehicle Role Skills
  
• Prestige Point System
  
• Earning Rating Points
  
• Rules for Creating Platoons
  

[h2]Changes to Vehicle Role Skills[/h2]

Role Skills are a crucial aspect of the game mode and greatly influence the vehicles used in battles. Based on our observations, we need to weaken some of the more popular choices and strengthen the less utilized ones in order to create a more diverse range of vehicles and tactics.

The following Role Skills have received an update:

[h3]Medium Tanks [/h3]


[h3]Tank Destroyers[/h3]


[h2]Minor Adjustments to the Prestige Points System[/h2]

We continue to closely monitor your feedback regarding the operation of this system while simultaneously making small adjustments to the logic of its operation. This update aims to increase the value of player damage by reallocating points from categories such as blocked damage and HP loss.

• Changes were made to the system for accruing Prestige Points.
  

[h2]Changes to Rating Points Distribution[/h2]

This season, a fairly large number of changes were made to the rating system of the mode, such as the appearance of qualifications, changes to the number of Ranks and Divisions, changes to the size of Divisions, and more.

Taking into account the information collected, and based on the results of the first three weeks, we decided to make a set of small changes to the logic for accruing and losing Rating Points.

• Changes were made to the Rating Points system.
  

[h2]Changes to the Rules for Forming Platoons[/h2]

We are increasingly seeing cases of high-ranking players abusing the Super Platoon system to earn Rating Points, so we are reinstating the cap on the maximum rating difference between players. The change should not affect the majority of players while simultaneously complicating such fraud.

• Maximum rating difference between Super Platoon players is now 1,500 Rating Points.
  

[hr][/hr]
We are sure these updates will improve the experience for everyone participating in the Season of the Azure Pegasus. You still have plenty of time to climb the Ranks and earn fantastic rewards before Onslaught ends.

Good luck, and roll out!

The menacing Blitzträger auf E 110 roams the battlefields once again, Commanders.

Its insanely powerful gun, good mobility, protective energy shield, special abilities, and new Hyperion tech make it an extremely challenging opponent to face—but not unstoppable. Good teamwork and quick tactical decisions from the Harriers’ team will drastically increase their chances of victory against the steel beast—and let’s not forget that the Harriers have special abilities of their own!

Ultimately, it all comes down to being aware of both your opponent’s and your own strengths and weaknesses...and learning some tips and tricks here and there. So, we are inviting you to participate in this special Giveaway and share your victory strategies in the comments.

[h2]Gates and Starters[/h2]

You can earn two types of Starters for completing event missions and Progression Stages and for defeating the Blitzträger auf E 220. Starters are necessary for activating both the Engineer's and Harriers' Gates, which are filled with valuable loot.

Harriers‘ Starters are rewarded for completing event missions and progression milestones while playing in Harrier Squad vehicles. They are used for the Harriers’ Gate with the following reward items:

Engineer’s Starters are rewarded for completing missions while playing in the Blitzträger auf E 110 and progression milestones, and they are part of the special event bundles. They are used to activate the Engineer’s Gate with the following reward items:



The most exciting and valuable rewards from the Engineer’s Gate are random Tier VIII and IX Premium and reward vehicles that come with a Garage slot. They include these three brand-new warriors:

• NEW! The KJPZ TIII Jäger, a Tier IX Premium German tank destroyer, is a nimble mobile sniper with great gun handling and accuracy. Similar in appearance and layout to the Waffenträger auf Pz. IV and the Grille 15, already in the game, this TD also shares similar characteristics with them. The Jäger can't boast any significant armor as it focuses on shooting and mobility.
  
• NEW! The Object 283 is a reward Tier IX rear-turreted Soviet medium tank with a high DPM. This tank has an unusual layout for a medium tank with rear turret placement. Despite its similarities to the branch of Soviet sniper medium tanks with the K-91 up top, its characteristics are closer to those of the Object 430. It has a strong front hull and turret armor, as well as impressive thick sides strengthened with screens.
  
• NEW! The Jagdtiger Prototype, a Tier VIII Premium German assault TD, wields a powerful 128 mm gun. This modification of the Jagdtiger is equipped with the 12.8 cm Pak 44/1 L/55 gun. The general concept of the vehicle is the same as that of its more powerful version: unimpeded destruction of enemy vehicles with the help of its excellent gun.
  
  
• T54 Heavy Tank
  
• K-2
  
• CS-52 LIS
  
• Object 274a
  
• M-IV-Y
  
• ShPTK-TVP 100
  
• Strv 81
  
• ISU-152K
  
• FV1066 Senlac
  

You have a 2% chance to get one of these tanks when activating the Engineer's Gate. Most importantly, you will receive vehicles that you do not have in your Garage yet.


On top of that, the Engineer's Gate has a chance of dropping 10 Random Battles in the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100*!

*10 rental battles in the Waffenträger auf E 100 may drop no more than five times per account.

[h2]The Engineer's Gate: How It Works[/h2]

• When a vehicle drops from the Engineer’s Gate, a slot in the Garage is credited first, and then information about it will be displayed in the in-game Notification Center.
  
• If you receive a vehicle that is already in your Garage, it will be replaced by another vehicle from the above list that you don't already have in your Garage.
  
• If you already have all the vehicles from the list, you will be compensated the cost of the dropped tank in gold.
  
• If you have sold a Premium vehicle from the above list and it can be restored using the in-game Vehicle Restoration tool, it may drop from the Engineer's Gate at the standard drop rate.
  

[h2]Guaranteed Vehicle Mechanics[/h2]

If you spent 49 Engineer's Starters but still did not receive a Premium vehicle, then with the 50th activation of the Engineer's Gate, you are guaranteed to receive a random Premium tank that you don't have already from the list above, as well as a Garage slot.

If you already have all the vehicles from the list in your Garage, then the guaranteed vehicle mechanics will be disabled.

After the end of the event on October 9 at 12:00 (UTC+3), all unused Keys for playing in the Blitzträger auf E 110 will disappear, and the corresponding number of Gates will be activated automatically. All items from them will be automatically credited to your account. All event vehicles will be deducted, and all XP earned in them will be moved to the MS-1. All Collection Items, rewards, and loot from the Gates remain with you permanently. You will be able to play your battles in the rented Waffenträger auf E 100 until October 15 at 07:00 (UTC+3).

Any bundles that you sent as gifts but that were not accepted by their recipients will be returned to your account.

Enjoy Waffenträger: Projekt Hyperion, Commanders!
