The first TONK post launch update!
Lots of stuff has been added, 7 new tanks, 3 maps have been re-added after being dropped a while ago, and major rebalances across all tiers and many tanks.
New tanks:
SK-105A2: This tier 8 French light tank destroyer doesn't have the biggest gun, but has high penetration and a good autoloader with 8 rounds in one clip also capable of reaching a top speed of 68kmh!
T-72A: This tier 9 Russian main battle tank combined great frontal armor with decent-ish mobility and a punchy gun.
BMD-4M: This tier 9 Russian light tank is an up-armored variant of the regular BMD-4 also featuring a faster autoloader and a new engine to compensate for added weight.
BMD-4: This tier 8 Russian light tank features a 100mm ATGM propelling cannon as well as a braced 30mm cannon with high fire rate and accuracy, this tank is also capable of going 70kmh forwards AND backwards.
Tog II: Hot Tog.
Jagdtiger: This tier 5 German heavy tank destroyer is a casemate on the Tiger II's chassis, featuring a 128mm cannon capable of punching through heavily armored vehicles, though it lacks mobility in favor of armor.
Jagdtiger L/66: This tier 5 German heavy tank destroyer is an up-gunned variant of the Jagdtiger with higher muzzle velocity and penetration, but also ever so slightly slower due to added weight, the compartment in the back was used when crossing terrain the main gun would be pushed back with the breech, making it stick out less at the end
Major changes:
- A rudimentary tutorial has been added, along with a set of starter missions with amazing rewards, to help new players learn the game
- The grind has been reduced massively
- Some reward tanks can research tech tree vehicles, see the progress channel in the discord for the full list
- Bots have a reaction time so they don't instantly wipe you off the planet when you go round a corner
- Old maps are back! 3 of the old maps are back, with saadnayel and the old desert storm being deathmatch compatible
- Damage upgrades now upgrade ram damage and high explosive splash radius (have fun)
