[h2]A Smooth Entrance into the Game[/h2]
We reworked the tutorial! From now on, newly-minted commanders won't be sent to the proving grounds. Instead, they'll find themselves in 5-on-5 battles on the Mines map. The first battles will be accompanied by hints depending on the situation. For example, "Enable Aiming mode" in case of a miss or "Target gray parts" in case of a non-penetrating hit.



The first tank that a newcomer will take into battle will be one of these three famous combat vehicles: the Tiger, the T-34-85, or the Sherman. Moreover, the number of bots will gradually decrease.

[h2]Updated Mines[/h2]
It now has its own special atmosphere! We added effects, actions, and indestructible objects outside the playable part of the map and improved terrain textures. Now, there are planes flying in the sky and warships fighting in the sea. Every new player's first three battles will happen on Mines. But the map will remain available for battles of all tiers.

Mirage and Lost Temple are being reworked and will temporarily be unavailable in the game. They will return with improvements to visuals and gameplay. Both maps will be made available for more tiers, while Mirage will receive a version for Supremacy.
[h2]Colorblind Mode[/h2]
Colorblind mode was added to graphics settings for those who see the world just a bit differently. It changes the colors of important elements in battle so that players with color blindness, such as deuteranomaly, protanopia, and deuteranopia, can better distinguish them.



This option may affect game performance on some mobile devices.

[h2]Order in Storage[/h2]
It's time for some spring cleaning! All resources are now carefully divided among four tabs: Certificates, Appearance, Boosters, and Other. What's more, we got rid of excessive tapping. To remove the red dot for new items, you need only scroll down the screen. Red dots will also be removed from accumulative avatars, and they will only appear on the latest avatar in the chain.
[h2]News for the Jagdpanzer E 100[/h2]
It finally happened! If the Jagdpanzer E 100 existed in reality, this is what it would look like. After your first battle in this powerful tank destroyer, you may receive a personal offer for the Mighty Legendary camouflage and Spezialset attachment. There are no bells or whistles—just historical insignia and vivid colors!



[h2]Controller Support [/h2]
We returned partial support for popular controller models on iOS, Android, and Windows 10. Now, with the help of a controller, you can do more than just shoot, aim, and move. You can also enable/disable auto-aim, use the Lookout Area camera mode, and switch between shell types. Besides that, the sensitivity of both sticks was adjusted and Garage controls were added.
[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
This time, just a small number of changes was made to vehicle characteristics. The T-34-100 received improved armor under the turret. Previously, it could be easily penetrated by HE shells. Ammunition capacity increased from 65 to 70 shells and 45 to 48 shells for the Crusader and T54Е1, respectively. [h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]
  • Container infoscreens were reworked. Their content is now more informative. You can even preview vehicles and camos.
  • The sounds of switching shells during battle and tanks exploding in Aiming mode were adjusted.
  • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.
