For each mission completed in regular tanks, you'll get 90 Pyroleum cans. Each special mission completed in the Annihilator, Spike, Scavenger, Gravedigger, Smasher, or Tankenstein will earn you an additional 200 cans every day.

Every 1,000 Pyroleum cans will unlock a new Way of the Raider level, and that means more rewards! Among them, you'll also find Pyroleum Boosters. They're installed automatically. For each battle with a Pyroleum Booster installed, you'll get 400 Pyroleum cans regardless of the battle outcome.

Update 7.3

[h2]Swedish Tanks
[/h2]The Tech Tree of the European Nation has grown a new, strong branch consisting of Tier VI–X tanks! The Swedes have brought national food for their provisions. Among consumables for higher-tier tanks, you will find Improved Engine Power Boost and Reticle Calibration. On top of that, two Legendary camouflages are available for the Tier X Kranvagn at once!



[h2]You Shall Pass!
[/h2]We fixed crossing capacity and got rid of bugs. Low-silhouette tanks will no longer drown under the bridges in the center of the Canal map. It is now easier to destroy logs on Copperfield. From now on, vehicles won't get stuck on the crest of the waterfall on Yukon, or near the water tower on Alpenstadt. On top of that, the issue where shells didn't pass through the slit in the door of the hangar on Himmelsdorf has been fixed.

[h2]Brutality is the Color of the Season
[/h2]Such severe warpaints as Fire Sentinel, Hardy, and Oxidized Metal are back in the camo selection menu. The costs vary from 65 gold to 750 gold, depending on the vehicle tier.



The Jade Shards, Golden Carp, and Effective Concealment warpaints are no longer available for purchase.

[h2]Improvements[/h2]
• The camera sensitivity default settings have been changed from 95% to 120% in arcade mode and from 65% to 100% in sniper mode. Also, the gyroscope sensitivity has been decreased.
• The navigation panel has been added for the Consumables and Provisions screens.
• The Minus button now displays/hides the list of players.
• The bug where the Plus button didn't open the Store screen when switching from the Avatars screen has been fixed.
• Upon spending and returning in-game currency at the same time, a total final figure is now displayed instead of two ratios—"Will be returned" and "Will be deducted".
• On the Provisions and Consumables screens, if consumables are not applied, the most effective one is selected by default.
• Destroying the IS-2 Chinese heavy tank now counts towards The Lion of Sinai medal.
• The Allies HP restored ribbon has been added for some modes.
• During the pre-battle countdown, the boosters panel is now also displayed when team lists are hidden (previously, it was only displayed when the lists were shown).
• The cases of incorrect reload indication during the pre-battle countdown have been fixed.
• The bug where some logos didn't load on the tournament page has been fixed.
• The bug where the Watching Ads button didn't disappear from the battle results screen after watching an ad has been fixed.
• The bug where the vehicle panel position wasn't saved upon going to another menu and upon returning to the Garage later has been fixed.
• Various screens, descriptions, and notifications have been improved.
• General bugs and client crashes have been fixed.

[h2]Balance Improvements
[/h2]We're continuing to work on the game comfort when playing in lower-tier vehicles. In this update, the changes affected the maneuverability of several tanks, such as the M7, A20, R35, Matilda, М5 Stuart, and АМХ 38. As for higher-tier vehicles, the gun mantlet armor was changed for the Chieftain Mk.6, Super Conqueror, Object 140, T-62А, E 100, and Löwe.

Swedish Tanks

In the latest version of the game, the European Nation is building up its firepower. The wild temper of Italian medium tanks will be balanced out by the Nordic durability and cold anger of Swedish heavies. This branch features five tanks with diverse armaments ranging from classic cannons to guns with autoreloaders or magazines. Check out these Swedish warriors and prepare to lead them to victory!
