[h2]List of Update 0.205 Changes[/h2]

Please note: At this moment it’s not possible to install the War Pig skin on M1A2C Main Battle Tank. We apologize for the inconvenience; we are working on the issue.

T-80BVM

In this update, we are adding the T-80BVM Tier 9 progression Main Battle Tank. In order to unlock the tank, you need to deal a certain amount of damage using the T-80UM-1 Bars Tier 8 progression Main Battle Tank.

T-64BV Contract

In this update, we’re adding a new contract replacing the old AS90 one. As usual, you are able to complete the contract missions in exchange for the following prizes:

• T-64BV Mod.2017 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank for the initial contract completion
  
• Ukrainian camouflages available for contract achievements
  
• T-64BV Loot Crate with various camouflages, temporary vehicles and other prizes for further completions
  

The contract will last at least until the end of the year so there is plenty of time to finish it.

Commanders!

Tomorrow’s update is bringing the long-awaited T-80BVM Tier 9 progression Main Battle Tank and we’d like to bring up a few details about this vehicle that may come to your attention during the vehicle’s release.



First, the unlock requirement. You’ll be asked to deal damage while driving the T-80UM-1 Bars. The damage requirement corresponds to roughly 70 matches of average active gameplay (although, as usual, exceptional players will complete this sooner). We wanted to avoid the Bars situation where, in order to unlock the tank, players were intentionally losing or leaving their T-80U matches. No more of that.

The second matter we want to address concerns the engines. The engines of the T-80BVM are a bit counter-intuitive. There are three:

• GTD-1250TF turbine engine (1250hp)
  
• GTD-1400 turbine engine (1400hp)
  
• GTD-1400TF turbine engine (also 1400hp)
  

Two engines with the same horsepower and, additionally, the GTD-1400 engine offers higher maximum speed but lower acceleration than the previous one? What’s up with that?

The logic is as follows. Acceleration and hull traverse improvement is done via another upgrade module called GOP-165 transmission, which will work no matter what engine you have selected.

When upgrading the engine from 1250hp to 1400hp, the thing that changes for you is the maximum speed. Additionally, the basic engine has access to the Override active ability which the middle engine does not because that’s how the engine is built. The letter F in its name means “supercharged” and the engine is capable with of short bursts of higher power in real life (running it on this setting constantly would significantly reduce its lifespan).

The GTD-1400 engine does not offer this feature – in order to access the Override active ability, you must once upgrade to the GTD-1400TF engine, which unlocks the ability once again.

And as for the final issue – the 3VOF77 shell is marked as “airburst” but it works the same way as Armata’s programmable HE shell (only with a larger blast radius).

We hope this clears some things for you and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

This week, we’ve made significant progress when it comes to finalizing the account transfer. Steam accounts are now transferred correctly and working (we apologize for the issues), as is a vast majority of the account transferred from MY.GAMES launcher.



However, there are still issues left to be resolved. These are (in no particular order):

• Some accounts were transferred incorrectly (the most common symptom of this is players finding their accounts empty after transfer and the game is asking for a new player name)
  
• Steam account Web Shop purchases are not working correctly
  
• Players in several countries are receiving broken authorization e-mails without a code
  
• Game download is slower than it should be and sometimes it stops for no reason
  
• The launcher does not work with Windows 7 and 8
  
• E-mails are arriving in spam (or at all) for several providers such as Hotmail, MSN or Seznam.cz (this can be solved on your end by adding the address [email protected] to trusted e-mails in your mail client, typically in Spam settings)
  

We’d like you to know we are working hard on fixing these problems. For now, we’d like to thank you for your patience with a gift and an XP bonus for all matches this weekend. And, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
