Rush Hour Event

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Watch out! Battle traffic is so heavy right now that it's hard to make it through unscathed. But if you're an experienced commander, you'll easily handle this situation and even earn a ton of rewards! Among them are certificates for vehicle research. Use them to climb up any Tech Tree branch at the speed of the Ru 251!

[h2]What Should I Do?[/h2]

Hit XP bonuses! Each x2–x5 bonus hit in a Tier IV–X vehicle will bring you 2 Pins. Exchange them for prizes on the event screen! The rewards include Premium Account, Free XP, credits, temporary certificates for vehicle research, and the British Tier VI Cromwell B medium tank!

Already have the Cromwell B in your Garage? Take it into battle, get Ace Emblems for each Ace Tanker mastery badge you earn, and exchange them for the Danger Zone camo and Lucky V Containers! Each container includes a Tier V Collector or Premium vehicle. If you already have the vehicle that dropped from the container, you'll receive a Lucky VI Container with a random Tier VI tank.

[h2]New Shot Sounds and Shell Hit Marks[/h2]

Shots now produce rich, powerful, and, most importantly, diverse sounds. Shell hit marks remain on surfaces—just beautiful!





DETAILS

[h2]Restoring Sold Vehicles[/h2]

You can now easily get back a sold Premium or Collector tank without leaving the game! Use the Restore Tank option in the vehicle carousel, on the tank stats screen in the Profile, or in the Store. You'll see a list of vehicles sold within the last 3 months, the date of sale, and the restoration price. You'll be able to restore vehicles sold before this period via Player Support. Please note that vehicles sold prior to Update 9.2 won't be on the list.

The restoration price in gold is equal to the purchase price. The restoration price in credits is 10% higher than the purchase price. 

[h2]Lower Resolution[/h2]

We've reworked the Lower Resolution option to enhance gameplay comfort. Owners of less powerful devices will appreciate the change in the Static Lower Resolution: It now reduces the resolution of only landscape objects and tanks, while all elements of the battle interface remain clear.

Dynamic Lower Resolution will now ensure that the image is less blurry, improving your gaming experience. The tracking of high loads and FPS drops on iOS devices was improved: The option won't be activated unless necessary. In addition, Dynamic Lower Resolution is now available for PCs. Mac owners with high-resolution Retina displays will especially appreciate this since the option will be enabled by default.

[h2]Legendary Camos[/h2]

The cartoonish Win Peaks for the AMX 30 1er prototype, the post-apocalyptic Burn for the K-91, and the jade Gongbi for the WZ-120-1G FT became available in the camo selection menu.



[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

  • The R35, E 50 M with its Monster and Roaring Legendary camos, as well as the T49 with its Hornet camo, received improved graphics.
  • IS-7: The Battle-hardened Legendary camo was improved. There is now more color differentiation from the tank's color gamma without the camo.
  • A hint on how to use the Emergency track mechanic for the Yoh series tanks was added to the Brief Characteristics menu and vehicle preview screen.
  • Rank upgrade progression was added to the second battle results screen. Sorting tanks by rank became available in the Profile statistics.
  • Areas where vehicles became stuck were fixed, and some models of buildings and objects were adjusted for some maps.
  • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

Yeti's Lair Event

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
James had forgotten to take off his costume after the role-playing festival, scaring his friends witless. Turns out, the cave he found is not just the Yeti's lair, but a half-ruined mine! Here and there, the edges of containers can be seen under the rubble. There must be something valuable inside them!



You'll have to work hard to dig it all up. How fortunate that Hugh always has an extendable Pickaxe with him, and the Ranger's trunk is filled with a year's supply of Candy Bars. Go for it!

[h2]How Can I Get Treasure from the Yeti's Lair?[/h2]

With the help of Pickaxes and Candy Bars! You'll receive Pickaxes for your first 100 victories in Tier IV–X vehicles, while mastery badges earned in Tier IV–X tanks will bring you Candy Bars. You'll be able to get even more Candy Bars in exchange for XP and Credit boosters, as well as certificates for Premium Account, on the event screen.

Treasure awaits!

[h2]So What is the Treasure?[/h2]

Get ready! For the start, check out the list: Premium Account, Cooldown boosters, a tank, stunning camos, and a Yeti Container.
