[h2]Festive Garage and Camos[/h2]

New Bay is covered in snow, and its central square is decorated with a Christmas tree and lights! A Garage like this definitely sets the festive mood before battle.



Capture points have also been decorated! Have you been a good commander this year?



Ideal for a cold winter, warm camos like the cozy Grandma's Gift, dreamy Starlight Night, and scented Evergreen are making their return to the camo selection menu. Dress up and have fun!
The Molten Lava and Urban Jungle camos are no longer available for purchase.

[h2]Legendary Camos for Tier X Tanks[/h2]

The following camos will become available in the Camouflage menu: the rough Rotkopf for the VK 72.01 (K), the stormy Typhoon for the WZ-121, the bright Overkill for the FV4005, the wild Safari for the FV4202, the biting Piranha for the T95E6, and the splendid Corsica for the AMX 30 B.

Owners of the 60TP Lewandowskiego will soon receive an offer to buy the Krzemień camo. Brutality and belligerence will pave a path to legendary victories!



[h2]Accumulative Discount for Training[/h2]
The price of training for Regimental School (up to 75%) or Tank Academy (up to 100%) used to be fixed and didn't depend on your level of mastery. Now it decreases as your crew mastery grows. The less left until 75%, the cheaper the training for credits. The less left until 100%, the cheaper the training for gold.
These discounts are combined with other temporary discounts for crew training.

[h2]Joining Light and Medium Tanks[/h2]
It's time to make changes to the way the matchmaker selects vehicles for battles. Light and medium tanks used to have different values in the matchmaker. So there were rarely cases when teams were unequal. As the way to play medium and light tanks is more similar, the matchmaker will consider them to be the same type. This means it will strive to make the ratio of light and medium tanks, as well as other vehicles, the same for both teams.

[h2]Updated HP Indicator [/h2]

Now it's easier to monitor your tank's key parameter! The indicator became bigger, its color changes from green to red, and the amount of HP lost is displayed with a visual effect. When penetrated, the indicator blinks.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]
  • Updated graphics were introduced for the FV215b (183) and its Hammer camouflage, the Progetto 46 and its Reborn camouflage, and the T26.
  • Now the Spear 'n Sear attachment shoots a stream of fire not only before battle, but also after destroying an enemy.
  • The bug when the XP of an inactive player displayed in battle results was fixed. Now both allies and enemies will see "0" in the XP section of the team's battle results.
  • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.
