[h2]Free Camouflage Resupply[/h2]
We're continuing to adjust the game's economy by reducing the number of battles with a negative credit balance. With the release of Update 8.9, you'll be able to resupply all camos for free. Changes will affect 75 camos that, until now, were resupplied after each battle using credits. The cost of unlocking them for the first time will be significantly higher and will depend on the vehicle's tier. But each purchase will pay off over time.
Throughout Update 8.9, a 70% discount will be available on these 75 camos.

[h2]Supplies for the VK 72.01 (K) Branch[/h2]
The Tier VII–X tanks of the VK 72.01 (K) branch will receive Tungsten Rounds as consumables, as well as Improved Gunpowder, Sandbag Armor, and Enhanced Sandbag Armor as provisions. This will add some diversity to their standard gameplay while also making them less similar to vehicles from the E 100 branch.

[h2]Battle Results Improvement[/h2]
We're continuing to gradually improve battle results based on feedback collected from players. The detailed statistics can now be accessed from each of the three screens at the tap of a special button. There will be more improvements in future updates.

[h2]Legendary Camos[/h2]
The dark Noir for the Bat.-Châtillon Bourrasque, the severe Krzemień for the 60TP Lewandowskiego, the inspiring Thunderbird for the Concept 1B, and the netherworldly Monster for the E 50 Ausf. M are now available in the camo selection menu.
Owners of the Škoda T 56 will soon receive an offer to purchase a new Legendary camo—the fabled Golem.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• The TVP TVU, Škoda T 50, and TVP T 50/51 (including its Instigator Legendary camo) received better graphics.
  
• Level 10 avatars for winning Rating Battles were introduced. The avatars of Platinum and Diamond Leagues are animated.
  
• Item groups were added to the Store. Similar bundles will now be included in one slider.
  
• Tankenstein: The bug where the crew could receive critical damage was fixed.
  
• The bug where the "Damage blocked" ribbon was displayed upon firing at a destroyed tank was fixed.
  
• The "Recover password" button and the button navigating to your account can now be found in Settings → General → Account Management.
  
• Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  
• General bugs and client crashes were fixed.
  

Do you want to add to your vehicle collection? Great! Simply enter the game every day and do your best in battles. Yep, you read that right! You'll get a tank for free for your mastery!

[h2]How Does It Work?[/h2]
Go to the Store and get the free bundle "Subscription to the T21". Enter the game every day while the subscription is active and claim your reward: 10 parts of the certificate for the T21. On some days of the subscription, you'll also receive Orders. Complete them to get even more parts of the certificate! Don't miss a single day of the 10-day subscription to collect 200 parts of the certificate, combine them in your Storage, and make this American Collector light tank yours!

You can collect your rewards when you enter the game or in your Storage. Parts of the certificate and Orders are not added for days missed. Each Order is available for 24 hours and activates automatically. If you don't complete it within the allocated time, you'll receive 10 parts of the certificate.

[h2]What's the Tank Like?[/h2]
The Т21 is quite a troublemaker. Its favorite tactic is to lurk in bushes until a target appears, take a nice clean shot, and change positions before the baffled enemy realizes where the attack came from. The T21 also loves giving its allies sightseeing tours from the hills. Thanks to its excellent view range, teammates can enjoy the most thrilling attraction—enemy vehicles. The good gun depression and elevation will help you catch any target with ease. Just don't forget to retreat to cover after firing. Lead your team to victory in the daring Т21!
