Update 8.5

[h2]New Voices[/h2]
We're continuing to work on in-game sounds. The crews of Italian, Czechoslovakian, Polish, and Finnish vehicles will now speak their native languages. To enjoy the international diversity, enable the "National Crew Voice" option (Settings → Other).
In addition, following the Pz. IV Ankou SP, all other tanks from the Girls und Panzer anime series universe, such as the Tiger Kuromorimine SP, Hetzer Kame SP, IS-2 Pravda SP, and Firefly Saunders SP, will also receive original Japanese crew voiceovers.
[h2]Economy and Balance[/h2]
Great gameplay must be rewarded. Starting from Update 8.5, Ace Tanker mastery badges, Top Gun achievements, and Kolobanov's Medals earned in regular and rating battles in Tier VI–X vehicles will bring you additional credits.
We keep refining the credit economy to make vehicle research and credit farming more balanced.
Extensive balance changes were made to Tier VI–VIII tanks.
[h2]More Color[/h2]
Update 8.5 will introduce animated avatars! They'll add more fun to the game, and will be displayed in the Garage and battle results, as well as on the battle loading, reward, and event screens… Basically, everywhere, except for the team list in battle. Very soon, you'll be able to get the first of these avatars, Overkill, as part of bundles in the Store.

[h3]Legendary Camouflage for the E 50 M[/h3]
Owners of this medium tank will soon receive an offer to purchase the terrifying, yet captivating, Monster camo.



[h3]Camo Rotation[/h3]
The Oxidized Metal, Hardy, and Digital Forest Rare camos, as well as the Carapace Legendary camo for the Turtle Mk.1 and the Graywolf Legendary camo for the Object 263, are now available in the Camouflage tab.



The Spooky Web, Pumpkin Mayhem, Pumpkin Spice, Scary Swarm, and Spidertrap camos will no longer be available for purchase.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]
  • The Pz. II, T-54 ltwt, as well as the Chimera with its Phantom Legendary camo were updated to the new visual quality.
  • The line of accumulative avatars for rating battles was extended. Now, each league has 9 levels.
  • Slots can now be purchased in the Store instead of the Garage.
  • The Hit Points parameter was added to the Brief Characteristics menu. The minimum and maximum values on the scale correspond to the lowest and highest HP in the game: the lowest value of 270 HP for the Type 95 Ha-Go and the highest value of 2,850 HP for the Maus.
  • The bug where the consumable use time displayed above the tank was refreshed upon enabling/disabling another consumable, was fixed.
  • 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.

Operation Fire of Victory

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Your competitive spirit is calling to you! Only the brave and persistent will be rewarded! Roll out onto the battlefield and earn resources, champion camos, themed avatars, and the splendid Spark medium tank.


[h2]How to Get Rewards?[/h2]
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 your Pass Level to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Flames: 10 Flames = 1 level.

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

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

[h2]When Does Operation Fire of Victory Take Place?[/h2]
  • CIS: November 1, 8:00 (MSK) to November 29, 8:00 (MSK)
  • Europe: November 1, 13:00 (CET) to November 29, 13:00 (CET)

[h2]What Rewards Can I Get?[/h2]



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 D.W. 2 Tier IV heavy tank awaits you at Level 1. A large amount of HP and high single-shot damage are what make it successful.

And at Level 25, you'll find in your Garage the Spark—a medium tank by type, but a champion by ability. Based on the Škoda T 25, this shiny fellow keeps the best qualities like high maneuverability, good dynamics, and an autoloader with fast reloading.

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 Flames
