In this update, we reworked the interface, added new camouflages and avatars, and improved the characteristics of Premium vehicles. Also, someone played with the brightness, contrast, and saturation sliders, and a certain day of the week became much darker.

The design of numerous screens was updated, animations were added, and access to important functions became easier. The key changes include:

• The main menu is now always open and is displayed as icons on the left side of the screen. It became easier to enter the needed section and notice any updates thanks to red indicators. In the left side menu, you can find: profile, news and notifications, Tech Tree, missions, storage, clans, platoon game, tournaments, communities, and settings.
• The player's current rating and the corresponding league are now displayed under the avatar in the upper left corner.
• In the vehicle panel, vehicles are now sorted from the highest tier to the lowest, and the button with filters is on the right.
• The menu with tank filters was improved. The filters of Elite and Non-Elite vehicles are now separated from the vehicle type (researchable, Premium, Collector). A counter of filtered vehicles was introduced.
• The Upgrades and Crew tabs were added to the vehicle enhancement screen. Now, info about the level of enhancements of the selected vehicle, as well as all possible actions with this vehicle, are available in one place.
• Clan search, nickname change, replays, and the list of received rewards can now be found in the Profile screen.
• Notifications in the upper part of the screen became more compact and no longer fully cover this part of the screen.

In fact, the improvements are much more numerous. But, as it's said, it's better to see them once than to hear about them a thousand times. The screens and interface elements that remained untouched will be changed in future updates.

• WZ-113, WZ-121, and M4A1 Revalorisé: increased damage.
• WZ-120: reduced reload and aiming time.

Master invisibility, illusions, time jumps, and lightning strikes to enemy tanks. These mystical abilities that break the laws of the universe are available now in the new Uprising battle type.

Harness them and make your combat capabilities almost unlimited!



There are 16 abilities featured in Uprising. They can be divided into two types:

• Active abilities that you can enable yourself when you see fit by tapping the Abilities button in battle
  
• Passive abilities that work permanently from the moment you join the battle.
  

In Uprising, every tank possesses one active ability depending on the vehicle class. Generally speaking, light and medium tanks feature Shadow or Time Jump, heavies use Play Dead or Dust Devil, while tank destroyers have Hunter's Mark or Blood Trail.

Elixir earned in battle can get you ten more passive abilities. You can select them from three random options as you wait to return to battle:



The acquired passive abilities work permanently during battle even after the vehicle has been destroyed and returned to battle.

Some passive abilities are available in two variants: standard (Grade I) and a more expensive and enhanced one (Grade II).

The more Elixir you accumulate, the more abilities you can get.



The stock of Elixir is being constantly accumulated during battle. To earn more Elixir, you need to perform useful actions in battle. For example, deal damage, destroy enemy vehicles, or perform the scout role.

Effects from different abilities can add up and complement one another. For example, adding the Doubleshot ability to Chain Lightning will enable you to attack three opponents at once and with double the speed. Create your own strikingly powerful combination of abilities and unleash them upon your enemies!
