Greetings, dear players!
We are excited to present Update 6.5.2!

Let’s go over the key changes with some brief explanations!

- Preparation for the introduction of Battle Slots
In short, you will soon be able to manage a limited combat squad and send it into battle.
However, this feature won’t be available immediately: on March 24, we will perform a necessary server update, with the first rollout on Singapore servers. If the launch goes smoothly, Europe servers will receive Battle Slots a few days later.

- Game optimization for mobile devices
These optimizations have also improved PC performance, especially for players using settings below ULTRA.
According to our internal tests, the game now runs significantly smoother!

- Introduction of the "Power" system for vehicles and combat units
Power is a calculated rating that represents a vehicle’s overall combat strength based on its characteristics.
For now, it serves as a reference for comparing different vehicles, but in the future, it will play a greater role in game mechanics.

- Battle difficulty rating introduced
Harder battles will now offer additional rewards.
This change will take effect after the March 24 server update.
The goal is to encourage players to engage in challenging battles instead of leaving matches in search of easier bot opponents.

- Improved equipment purchase reminder
Now more informative and less intrusive.

- Updated vehicle destruction visuals
Added a more cinematic camera effect and expanded enemy information. In future updates, we will enhance explosion effects as well.

- Improved hangar camera behavior
We have added inertia to make tank inspection feel smoother and more comfortable.

- Various technical fixes
We have made a significant number of technical improvements.

A special thank you to all players who participated in the Beta testing of this update! Your feedback helped us refine and improve the final release.

See you in future updates! 🚀
