[h2]Let's Go to the Netherlands[/h2]
Vecht! Roll out! Welcome to Molendijk! This map will feature battles fought in the streets of a beautiful town, in an idyllic village, and amid lavender fields and windmills. As you feast your eyes on the views, don't forget to watch out for the enemy.

[h2]Updated Battle Results [/h2]
The time has come to adjust the display of battle results. Cutting to the chase, they now look awesome and more informative! There are three screens, each of them showing your tank at its finest, along with detailed personal, economic, and team results.

[h2]Hints for Additional Mechanics[/h2]
There are already many special tank mechanics in the game. And even more will be available as time goes on. To make it clear how they work, we're going to add hints to the Brief Characteristics menu. The new update will introduce hints for Tracer Shells (T-100 LT and Object 84) and Dynamic Armor (Titan H-N). We will gradually add info for other additional mechanics as well.

[h2]XP Multiplier Timer Reset[/h2]
Users of iOS and Android mobile devices will be able to reset the timer of the XP multiplier for the first victory (x2 timer). The refresh timer and the watching ads button will appear near the Battle! button. Watch an ad and the x2 XP multiplier will refresh. It's a great way to research your dream tank faster!

[h2]Camouflage Rotation[/h2]
The drop-dead gorgeous Galaxy and Shattered Flames camos were added to the camo selection menu. The Grandma's Gift, Starlight Night, and Evergreen camos will no longer be available for purchase.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• The Bat.-Chatillon 25 t and its Musketeer camo, the ISU-152 and its Hunter camo, and the Cruiser II received better graphics.
  
• An animation for receiving XP after a battle in a researchable tank was added. It shows your progress towards the next module.
  
• The structure of the Soviet Tech Tree was improved.
  
• The bug where the price under upgrade options was displayed in Elite XP (not in credits or gold) on the screen for accelerating crew skill training was fixed.
  
• The bug where the sound of burning may have been missing after the tank was destroyed was fixed.
  
• The bug where the corresponding sound of resources deduction was missing upon opening a container using credits/gold was fixed.
  
• Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  
• General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

Important updates are coming to Rating Battles! Rating points can now be earned even if you're defeated or lost even if you win. But the primary aspects remain unchanged. From February 5 to February 28, you can progress through the leagues and collect cool rewards, including parts of the certificate for the Lorraine Fearless. And a warm place among the top ten players might as well become yours!



[h2]Changes to Rating Calculations[/h2]

Giving your best in battle is now more important than ever! Even if your team loses, your rating can still improve. At the same time, if you show a lack of initiative in battle, your rating will drop even if your team wins. Let's see how it works.

• The best player of the losing team can earn rating points as if they won. How is that possible? It's up to you and what you do in battle! The more active you are, the higher your chances of scoring points. Deal damage, spot foes, send enemies to their Garage, capture bases, and earn as much XP as possible in battles.
  
• Only one member of the losing team can earn rating points.
  
• The players of the winning team who remained idle in battle will have the same rating they would have had if their team lost. Taking useful actions in battle will help you avoid such a fate.
  
• If there are several idle players on the winning team, each of them will receive a rating penalty.
  

Get the most out of each battle and get to the top of the rankings faster!
