World of Tanks Blitz News

Operation Landship starts in World of Tanks Blitz. Drive your tracked, steel giant into battle and make your enemies beat a hasty retreat! Succeed in battles and receive not only glory, but also great rewards including resources, camos, themed avatars, and the Dreadnought!

To positions!



To participate in the event, you'll need a Tier III vehicle or higher.

The Operation includes two reward progressions, each consisting of 80 levels. The upper progression is available to regular Pass owners. In other words, all players. The lower progression is only available to Premium Pass holders. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Helmets: 10 Helmets = 1 level.

Although your Level increases automatically, you will need to collect your rewards manually.

You can earn up to 30 Helmets per day. Premium Pass owners enjoy access to an additional daily mission that provides an extra 10 Helmets. With Premium Pass, you can earn 40 Helmets a day and unlock 4 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your Level using gold.



- CIS: September 1, 8:00 (MSK) to September 29, 8:00 (MSK)
- Europe: September 1, 14:00 (CEST) to September 29, 14:00 (CEST)

- APAC: September 1, 14:00 (UTC+8) to September 29, 14:00 (UTC+8)



There will be huge amounts of resources, themed camos and avatars, a profile background, certificates for XP bonuses for victories, and Collector tanks!



With Premium Pass, the AMX 40 Tier IV medium tank awaits you at Level 1. The decent damage and strong armor will make this vehicle a reliable pillar for the team. The AMX 40 will show its best qualities in both defending positions and supporting offensives.

And at Level 35, the Dreadnought will be added to your Garage. This mighty vehicle can break through enemy defenses and transform a long, grueling positional battle into a decisive offensive. Its thick frontal armor will confidently withstand enemy fire, and the powerful, penetrating gun will crush enemies with every shot!

After reaching Level 80 with Premium Pass, you'll get access to the special Operation Container with parts of certificates for tanks from previous Operations and a chance to win rare tanks, including the exclusive AE Phase I Tier IX tank. Cost to unlock container: 100 Helmets

[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.

When it moves, it's faster than wind. When it shoots, it's one of the top tanks by damage caused. Enter battle in the Škoda T 27 and snatch victory from the hands of your enemies!

Until August 20, the in-game Store will feature containers that may include the Škoda T 27 or other rewards. Each container has a Škoda T 27 Charm. Collect 25 Charms and get the tank!

[h2]Rampant Legendary Camouflage[/h2]

Some time after your first battle in the Škoda T 27, you may receive a personal offer to get the Rampant Legendary camouflage. It's an excellent outfit for a daring fighter! Your tank will also receive a suitable name: Škoda T 27 Rampant.





[h2]Fast and Dangerous[/h2]

The Škoda T 27 is a maneuverable tank equipped with a gun featuring an autoloader and a 3-shell magazine. Just what you need to leave the enemy with a lasting impression!



Let's start with dynamics. It's everything a medium tank should have: the top speed is 50 km/h, which can be reached quite quickly by the Škoda T 27, thanks to its good power-to-weight ratio. That means you can have it all: quickly hide behind a corner after taking a successful shot, then move on to find a new target straight away.

Speaking of going around a corner, the Škoda T 27 is quite confident at making turns. Thanks to its hull traverse speed of 50.06 deg/s, you'll easily make any turn on your way towards safe cover or a new firing position.



The Škoda T 27 loves to shoot. And with such a nice gun, who wouldn't? First of all, it has a three-shell magazine. Second of all, it takes just 1.5 seconds to reload shells into the magazine. Here's your plan of action: select a nice position, aim within 4.2 seconds, and release 3 shells in 3 seconds at unsuspecting enemies!

Just like that, you'll have inflicted a solid amount of damage. The damage parameter of the Škoda T 27 is quite impressive: 660 HP per drum. That's pretty nice for a medium tank.



And don't miss your chance to feast your eyes on great views from hilltops! With an 8-degree depression angle, the view will be all the more beautiful thanks to the enemies you can successfully target.

The most important thing during battles in the Škoda T 27 is not to get caught in the enemy's sights. Considering the tank's weak armor, this might prove a fatal mistake. Don't wait for devastating return fire from enemies. Stay one step ahead and enjoy your victories!
