[h2]POLISH TD LINE[/h2]

The game’s first branch of Polish tank destroyers includes six researchable vehicles from Tier V to Tier X. Tiers V–VII showcase classic turretless TDs with traditional gameplay. Meanwhile, vehicles of Tiers VIII–X have deep-rifled guns with innovative shell mechanics. This enables them to unleash maximum damage in close combat. Check out the lineup!

[h2]ALL CREWS ARE NOW 100%![/h2]

We're constantly enhancing the crew system. Here’s what's new this time:
  • All crews now operate at 100% efficiency.
  • The "major qualification level" has been renamed to "crew efficiency" for clarity.
  • Perk efficiency penalty when retraining for free or for credits—gradually decreases with experience.
  • Special retraining bonuses for newcomers.
  • Option to switch tanker qualification when retraining for credits.

[h2]TIER X VEHICLE REBALANCING[/h2]

Based on your feedback and our statistics, we identified four Tier X vehicles that required fine-tuning. The Pz.Kpfw. VII and AMX 50 Foch B receive performance boosts, while the Super Conqueror and Controcarro 3 Minotauro get slight adjustments to make them less formidable opponents.

To ensure consistency with the vehicles mentioned above, we're also tweaking the performance of surrounding Tier VIII-IX French and Italian TDs in their branches.

DISCOVER CHANGES

[h2]MAP REBALANCING[/h2]

We've revamped five Random Battle maps to enhance gameplay comfort. Mountain Pass has undergone more substantial changes. We've also made slight adjustments to various positions on the following maps: Karelia, Mines, El Halluf, and Outpost.

Polish Tank Destroyers Are Coming!

Commanders!

Update 1.24.1 introduces a debut lineup of Polish tank destroyers. The new branch comprises 6 researchable vehicles spanning Tier V to Tier X.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Branch Composition[/h2]
The new branch of Polish tank destroyers consists of six researchable vehicles from Tier V to Tier X. The transition to the new branch will begin with the Tier IV 14TP light tank.



Tiers V–VII will feature classic turretless TDs with traditional gameplay. The first vehicle in the branch is the SDP 40 Zadymka, sitting at Tier V. It is followed by the SDP 44 Burza (Tier VI) and SDP 57 Gowika (Tier VII).

However, Tiers VIII–X introduce innovative shell mechanics, enabling vehicles to deal maximum damage in close combat. They are represented by:
  • SDP 58 Kilana (Tier VIII)
  • SDP 60 Gonkiewicza (Tier IX)
  • NC 70 Błyskawica (Tier X)

[h2]Maximize Damage with Star Tray Shells [/h2]
Polish Tier VIII–X TDs are equipped with unusual deep-rifled guns. These guns enable them to fire star tray shells traveling at incredible velocities: 1,700 m/s for a standard round and 2,000 m/s for a special one. These shells are most effective within 50 meters, delivering maximum damage. However, the damage gradually decreases with distance. Thus, high-tier Polish TDs encourage you to engage in close combat where you can be most effective.
