Commanders!

Today, we’re celebrating the Republic Day (Festa della Repubblica) along with the whole of Italy. The Republic Day was established on June 2, 1946 as an anniversary of the great 1946 referendum, which was called to decide the future political system of the country. This referendum became one of the founding stones of the democratic nation that Italy is today.



To celebrate the occasion, we’ve prepared a gift for you, which includes:

• Italian flag decal
• Italian flag banner
• 1 day of Premium Time

The gift is obtainable until June 5 via the MY.GAMES Market.

Additionally, we’ve prepared a special bundle with two historical Italian camouflages and the OF-40 Barracuda skin. The camouflages are loosely based on real life Italian camouflages that were used during the Second World War, making them somewhat unhistorical, if visually appealing. One consists of red-brown and green stripes on yellow background while the other one features dark green and brown stripes separated by yellow lines.



As usual, these camouflages are available for all vehicles and environments.



The Barracuda is a special skin for the OF-40 Tier 4 progression Main Battle Tank. It features a massive camouflage net, inspired by the design of a real life system called Saab Barracuda. It won’t make your tank stealthier than any other camouflage, but it will definitely make it turn some heads.



Please note that this bundle does not contain the OF-40 Tier 4 MBT, only the skin itself. You have to own the OF-40 to use it.



We hope that you’ll enjoy them as well as the gift and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

This month, we’re launching another series of special Loot Crates in MY.GAMES Market that offer you a chance to win some of the most coveted vehicles in the game.



These crates are:

• Asian-themed (with Type 99A2-140)
• Soviet-themed (with Object 640)
• NATO-themed (with Altay)

The mechanics are very simple. Each crate allows you to win one of the listed items (or its value in Gold if you have it already). To learn more about what's in a chest simply click on it, this will launch a small pop up window to show you what’s inside. You will find everything from in-game currency packs to consumables and exclusive skins that can only be found in these chests!

Please note:

After opening the crate, you will immediately roll on one of the items that are inside this Loot Crate and will see what you receive before you have to actually pay anything. No more random chances – you immediately see what you get and what you don’t. You can then opt to purchase the item you rolled on for the Loot Crate’s price. Until you do so, you will be unable to buy any other Loot Crate of the same type.

You may only purchase 30 crates of each kind per day.



We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

For today’s offer, we’ve prepared a series of Battle-Hardened bundles for three Israeli Merkava progression MBTs. These discounted bundles contain Gold as well as the Battle-Hardened status, which will turn your Progression vehicle into a semi-Premium one by increasing its Credit income, Experience income, and by improving its matchmaking quality so that you meet lower Tier opponents in battle than usual, much like Premium vehicles do.



The discounted Battle-Hardened bundles are available for the following vehicles:

• Merkava Mk.4M Tier 10 MBT (50% discount)
• Merkava Mk.4 Tier 9 MBT (45% discount)
• Merkava Mk.3D BAZ Tier 8 MBT (35% discount)

Please note that if you do not own the vehicle in question, you will receive the Battle Hardened status price in Gold instead.



We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

As we mentioned before, Update 0.36 is bringing a new Special Operation map, but we’re also hard at work fixing existing map issues, starting with the Ghost Field PvP map and the two PvE missions that use this map in their design – Albatross and Snake Bite.



When listening to your feedback, we sometimes see various opinions that we are never touching any old map or fixing any issues. This is not true, but the main problem is that the fixes that we do are not exactly visible at first glance. For example, fixing a collision model of one bus (out of a dozen that litter the city) might take a few hours of our time, but few players will notice. Nevertheless, these fixes are important and today, we’d like to tell you more about a big batch that’s coming in the next major update.

These fixes include (but are not limited to):

• Fixed the collision model of a certain building type (for example, the bunker in the G6 area), which no longer makes player and AI vehicles stuck
• Fixed the runway texture where a piece of it was missing
• The Global Operations version of Ghost Field was missing the repair area circles on the lowest settings
• Fixed an invisible wall in the I8 area
• Fixed the D5 area spot where it was possible to get stuck between a cliff and a building
• Fixed a certain tree type that was interfering with aiming in the first person mode
• Fixed a number of objects flying in the air (antenna in the B5 area, various stones and bushes)
• Fixed a number of bushes clipping through rocks
• Fixed a number of spots where concrete edges looked strange or were missing
• Grass no longer grows through tarmac
• Fixed various puddle water reflections that looked strange
• Fixed an issue where the rain dripped through the hangars
• Fixed a number of environmental shadows (such as the rocks)

And several more even smaller details. While on their own these fixed might not be much, they make the game look more polished across the board and that’s as important to us as bringing you new content is.

Next time, we’ll tell you more about the upcoming major features but in this article, so until then:

See you on the battlefield!
