[h2]To the North![/h2]

Welcome to Yukon! The surroundings feature snowy rocks, smoke drifting from a nearby sawmill chimney, quiet houses, and trees stretching up to the mountain tops.

This location is available for Tier IV–X vehicles in regular and rating battles.


[h3]ENJOY THE VIEW![/h3]

[h2]Let's Add More Color![/h2]

• The Valiant Legendary camouflage for the Vickers Light 105 was added for 2,550 gold.
• The Scarface Legendary camouflage for the SU-130PM tank destroyer is now available in the Appearance tab for 1,450 gold.
• The Flux and Shattered Flames Rare camouflages were added. The cost varies from 65 to 750 gold depending on the vehicle tier.

[h2]More Avatars for Victories[/h2]

• Accumulative avatars for victories in Realistic battles and Mad Games were added.
• The series of accumulative avatars for Uprising was extended, and the number of victories required to receive them was decreased.

These modes appear in the game from time to time. Follow the news to learn when they're available and earn a brand new avatar! Below are all the avatars and their required number of victories in the corresponding mode.

[h2]Time to Get a Better Gun[/h2]

The Upgrades indicator for vehicles with unresearched modules was reworked:

• The icon of the cheapest unresearched module is now displayed in the Garage with a progress bar instead of the XP amount.
• Blue shows Combat XP while yellow shows Free XP.
• When the player has enough Free XP, or a mix of Free XP and Combat XP, to research the module, the bar glows yellow.
• When a module can be researched using only Combat XP, the bar glows blue.
• When there's enough XP to research a more expensive module, the icon will be replaced with that module.

[h2]A Few Words About Rebalancing[/h2]

• The power-to-weight ratio of the SP I C, T71, M41 Bulldog, and AMX 13 75 was increased.
• The IS-6, IS-6 Fearless, KV-4, and M48 Patton became stronger.
• The Grille 15's rate of fire was increased and the Foch 155 with a cyclically firing gun became more accurate.
• The HP, reload time, and average damage of Tier I–IV vehicles were changed in order to narrow the gap in characteristics between Tier IV and Tier V vehicles, making the branch research process more pleasant and consistent.

[h2]Improvements and Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• Starting from August 1, flags in the Garage will be decorated with the logos of the winning clans of Spring Season.
• Shell hit marks are now displayed on destroyed tanks and blown-off turrets.
• HEAT shell hit marks were made bigger.
• The opportunity to view the corresponding tank and its characteristics was added for certificates and parts of certificates for vehicles. You can earn parts of such certificates (and collect the IS-6 Fearless!) in rating battles, for instance.
• The game's display was optimized for Android devices with an arch on the display. Now the app is fullscreen.
• Cases where the amount of credits was displayed incorrectly on the gold-to-credit conversion screen were fixed.
• The vertical configuration of some vehicles was changed so that it would fit on the Upgrades screen and in the Tech Tree.
• Cases where the victory points earned in battle were displayed incorrectly in the player's brief profile were fixed.
• The design of some screens has been updated, while descriptions and notifications have been improved.
• General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

BECOME A CONQUEROR!

If we were to describe World of Tanks Blitz in just a few words, we'd say, "intense tank mayhem". Well, strap yourself in, commander, and get ready for a wild ride. We've prepared a brand-new mode for you with fast and furious tank mayhem!

Take part in Skirmish and battle on small, compact maps where you'll always be at the point of the attack! There's not much time to think and plan.. Just act quickly, decisively, and effectively as possible!
Note: Skirmish battles are not included in statistics and won't earn you medals and achievements.
You can fight in Skirmish from July 9 to July 14.
CIS: from July 29, 10:00 (MSK) to July 14, 23:00 (MSK)
Europe: from July 9, 10:00 (CEST) to July 14, 23:00 (CEST)
North America: from July 9, 7:00 (PT) / 10:00 (ET) to July 14, 20:00 (PT) / 23:00 (ET)
Asia: from July 9, 10:00 (UTC+8) to July 14, 23:00 (UTC+8)

In Skirmish, battles are fought inside small zones at familiar locations: Desert Sands, Dead Rail, Yamato Harbor, and Falls Creek. Both teams are concentrated within a small section of the map, making the battle truly intense and fast-paced.

Skirmish battles are held according to Encounter rules. The base is smaller and the capture time is reduced. Act quickly and exert control over the battlefield. Your first successful attack may turn into a victorious base capture!

Each team has five players instead of seven, so knocking out one enemy can give your team a valuable advantage. But the opposite is true as well. Losing an ally will significantly reduce your team's ability. Cover your teammates and try to weaken the enemy as fast as you can!

To join a Skirmish battle, select it in the menu next to the "Battle!" button.
Skirmish battles are only available for Tier V–X vehicles.
Participate in Quick Tournaments under Skirmish rules!
Dates: July 10 and July 13. Registration for participation starts on the day of the tournament and closes half an hour prior to the end.
Tournaments are held separately for three vehicle categories: Tiers V–VI, VII–VIII, and IX–X.
Battle format: 5 vs 5
Control mode: Mixed
Registration: non-clan
Detailed regulations, the schedule by region, and the reward list for winners can be found in the tournament description in the game client.
