[h2]Ghost Factory Is Open!
[/h2]Coal mounds, industrial vehicles, lanes among hills, and a huge abandoned factory complex at the center, which can be considered a map inside a map.



[h2]Fancy a Cuppa?
[/h2]We're continuing to work on in-game sounds, which is why we're happy to present the much-anticipated British national voiceover! In addition, British English was added to the list of game client localizations. Here's how you can check out this stylish crew accent:
  • Play in British and Australian (included in the U.K. tech tree) vehicles with the "National crew voice" option enabled (Settings → Other)
  • Play in any vehicles with English (U.K.) selected in the client (the new localization) and the "National crew voice" option disabled
Since there is so much text to translate, you may still notice American terms here and there in the British localization. But we're working on this.

[h2]Balance and Economy
[/h2]Inactive players will no longer receive XP or credits for battle. Also, we reconfigured the credit economy and counterbalanced homogenization, a hidden armor parameter.

This time, balance changes were made to Tier X vehicles. The adjustments seek to maintain the gameplay comfort of heavy tanks while preventing them from replacing other types of vehicles. They also aim to enhance the benefits of other types of vehicles. Learn more about these changes on the website.

[h2]Updated Interface
[/h2]It's time to give a new design to the in-game Store. Item cards are now larger, bundle contents are more informative, and discounts are easier to notice. The vertical orientation of tabs corresponds to the Garage's screen design. Moreover, daily containers can be opened in one action.

The Avatars screen was not left untouched either. Now, it's more similar to the Storage screen. All avatars are divided by category into separate tabs: Premium, Accumulative, Special, Other, and Temporary. Similarly to Storage, to remove the red marker on new avatars, you no longer need to select them. Now you simply need to go to the corresponding tab and view the new avatars.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs [/h2]
  • The Strv 74, Leo, Emil I, Emil II, Kranvagn (as well as the Nidhögg and Nord Legendary camos), and WZ-120-1G FT were updated to the new graphics quality.
  • The Pike Legendary camouflage for the Object 260 was added to the Camo menu.
  • An effect that shows the battle result ("Victory", "Defeat", "Draw") and a corresponding note ("All tanks destroyed", "Base captured", etc.) was introduced.
  • The line of accumulative avatars for Rating Battles was extended. Now, each league has 6 levels.
  • Changes were made to the contents of the Basic Day's Supply and Standard Day's Supply containers. Instead of certificates for purchasing a Tier VI Premium tank, certificates for purchasing Premium tanks of other tiers will now drop from these containers more often.
  • Some parameters were changed for the Improved Engine Power Boost consumable. Now, it increases engine power by 40%, turn rate by 5%, and maximum forward speed by 5 km/h.
  • The "Tank Auto-Turn" option was added to the touch control settings. It is intended for newcomers who are accustomed to the fact that the camera prioritizes the direction of movement (like in other shooter games, for example). The option is disabled by default.
  • The bug where the replay of a battle launched incorrectly if the player hadn't logged into the game was fixed.
  • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.
