[h2]About the playtest[/h2]
In preparation for moving the game into early access we will have a small test to see if the VOIP and connection issues have been resolved.

[h2]When?[/h2]
This test will be a bit shorter than the last one and will run between the 17th and 19th of September

I got a lot of feedback on the last one and there has been some big changes in the code to make the aiming more responsive. There have also been some quality-of-life improvements but not a lot when it comes to the gameplay and graphics.


The test will run from the 16th to the 18th of July and you can sign up on the store page by clicking the "Request Access" button.
If you got access to the last one you will have it this one too. I hope to let everyone in just like last time.

I will start allowing player in very soon but not all at once.
Feedback and reporting of bugs is very welcome. Best is to report them on discord but if you are not part of the community you can post them here.


Issue: Push to talk with motion controllers are not working
Workaround: Don't use PTT

Issue: Hands get stuck floating in air.
Should not affect anything else than visuals.

Issue: Parts of tanks are driving around when in the "killcam"
Will be fixed later

[h3]Dear tankers, armor geeks and panzer fans![/h3]

We are happy to announce a public playtest planned for the 29th of December, ending on the 1st of January. This is your chance to get in, get down and let loose in highly authentic, meticulously detailed tanks and fight it out against other player crews. So grab your friends and get going - the battle awaits!

[h3]What can you expect from the playtest?[/h3]
You will play the current state of the game. We expect there to be bugs since we have never tested the game as this scale. If you find some, please add report them on discord.
There is also a lot of art assets that is not done so please be aware of that.
