[h2]Polish Heavies[/h2]
The new branch of five researchable Tier VI–X heavy tanks has joined the European Nation! Each is well-armed, perfectly armored, and very dangerous! These Poles come with their own consumables that will bring you new tactical opportunities. Both newcomers and experienced commanders will enjoy riding the new heavies into battle.

Details!

[h2]Economy Lesson[/h2]

We're continuing to refine the credit economy. This time, the changes will affect researchable Tier I–VI vehicles. Previously, the number of battles required to accumulate credits and research each subsequent tank could vary quite widely depending on the branch. To balance out this uneven profitability, starting from Update 8.4, some tanks will earn a little more, while others will earn a little less. These changes won't apply to Premium vehicles.

[h2]Holiday Camos and New Arrivals[/h2]

Halloween is coming! While we "probably" won't go from Garage to Garage asking for consumables, it would be nice to dress up for this fun-filled occasion. Spooky Web, Pumpkin Mayhem, Pumpkin Spice, Scary Swarm, and Spidertrap are available again in the Camouflage tab.



Also, with Update 8.4, you'll be able to get the harsh Bulwark camo for the harsh T110E3 tank destroyer.

The Black Dragon, Demon's Soul, and Urban Spark camos are no longer available for purchase.

Here are the new Legendary camos! Owners of the T95E6 will soon receive an offer to purchase the feisty Piranha camo, while commanders of the AMX 30 B will be offered to get the gorgeous Corsica camo.



[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• The T57 Heavy with its Tireless Legendary camo, the EMIL 1951 with its Viking Legendary camo, and the M2 Light received improved graphics.
  
• It will now be possible to preview camos on the selected vehicles right from your Storage.
  
• Individual offers now have the option of viewing its items. The contents can be opened by clicking/tapping the bundle.
  
• Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  
• General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

Hahaha, some enemies really believe that an unidentified flying object is chasing them. That's because it's not a tank, but rather a saucer with a turret! Although it can't fly, so technically it's more of a UMO—an unidentified moving object. If only opponents knew how this tank was created...

Fighting in this tank is sheer fun. Not fighting can be just as fun! First, take a detour and race at 70 km/h along the edges. Then appear behind the enemy and... boom, bam! Fire some shots and withdraw on the double! Once the battle is finished, it's time to count credits. Consider getting a bookkeeper for this.

Containers that may include the LT-432 or other rewards will be available in the in-game Store until October 29. Each container has an LT-432 Charm. Collect 25 Charms and get the tank!

But where exactly? That's a good question! This new light tank is lightning fast and comes equipped with a gun boasting high single-shot damage. Its road-hugging hull is covered with thin, yet effectively sloped, armor. Its concealment parameters make many tank destroyers blush in embarrassment.



The LT-432 rides perfectly on the straight. The speedometer shows 40 km/h in just 3-4 seconds. A few seconds more and the tank is already dashing at 60 km/h. The 70 km/h top speed can rarely be reached without provisions and equipment. But once applied, this value is quite reachable on the straight.

This new tank can move quickly not just forwards but backwards. The LT-432's reverse speed reaches 30 km/h! Making an enemy's life a nightmare by raking them with fire from unexpected positions will be especially comfortable. By the time the enemy can aim, the LT-432 will have already vanished into thin air!



Although this newbie is inferior to most opponents in maneuverability, it is anything but clumsy. The LT-432 can whiz around the battlefield and spin around hefty tank destroyers. Circling more mobile foes won't be as easy since the tank noticeably loses speed when traversing.

Like any light tank, the LT-432 is nominally armored. Its well-angled frontal armor and sloped turret will only protect against the occasional shot. At best, sidescraping can protect against Tier VII light tanks.



To survive, the LT-432 should take advantage of its speed, low silhouette, and good concealment:

• The speed will help it quickly take and change positions, as well as escape enemy fire.
  
• The low silhouette will enable it to fire and spot enemies from behind cover where only its small, hard-to-hit turret will be exposed to opponents.
  
• The good concealment will naturally ensure the tank remains unspotted. So long as the LT-432 doesn't shoot, it can hardly be noticed even on the move.
  

Due to small depression and elevation angles, this tank isn't suitable for positional combat among terrain irregularities. That's why the best spots for the LT-432 are flat areas with low cover.

When playing on open maps, carefully spot enemy maneuvers at the beginning of a battle and take a detour behind your team's lines in case an enemy scout breaks through. By that time, the main encounters will have started, which means it's time to see where the LT-432 will cause the most damage.

There's no point in looking for one-on-one clashes. An enemy already engaged in firefights is the best gift for the LT-432.



Roll forward, shoot the sides and rear, deal 280 HP of damage, and quickly retreat to cover to wait out the 9-second reload time. Did an enemy aim its gun at your position? Perfect! Just sit back and allow your allies to inflict damage. Or rush forward to another point to pull the same trick again.

It's no good sniping from TD positions. The 175 mm of penetration is more than enough to damage the sides, but it's hardly enough to penetrate a Tier VIII opponent from the front. Accurately aiming at the enemy's weak spots isn't the tank's strong point as well.

If you manage to preserve at least half of your HP by the end of the battle (there, there, this comes with experience!), you can hunt down isolated enemies. Slow tank destroyers and huge German heavies are perfect victims to be "snatched" to the Garage. It's quite fun to get close to some VK 100.01 (P), which is simply unable to hit such a tank with a low silhouette. But beware of ramming!

With Premium Pass, the Pz.Kpfw. II Luchs Tier IV light tank awaits you at Level 1. Armed with a quick-firing gun, this nimble tank is an ideal scout that can whirl around any enemy.

And at Level 35, the Titan T24 57, the latest development of scientists from a secret laboratory, will be added to your Garage. Using Fortium extracted from a meteorite that crashed to Earth, the unique armor was created from a titanium-fortium alloy. The new vehicle was developed from the M24 Chaffee, and it inherited the best characteristics of this tank: decent view range and impressive damage per minute. That's exactly what you'll need to be a scout and provide fire support to allies.



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 Fortium
