Soviet Light Tanks
The Soviet Tech Tree got a new branch of light tanks! In addition to an older tank that was moved there, it also received three new Tier VII, IX, and X vehicles. They're all fast, quick-firing, and well-concealed, while the Tier IX and X tanks feature a new spotting mechanic—Tracer Shells.
Balance Changes
This time, balance changes were made to Tier IX vehicles. For example, the Conqueror's turret will become stronger, the Škoda T 50'sdispersion and aiming time will decrease, and the T95 will be faster, but its reloading time will increase.
Rating Battle Changes
Great play should be rewarded, so, starting February, in special cases, the most effective player of the defeated team will be able to get rating points as if they won. At the same time, an inactive player from the winning team will be treated as if they lost: Their rating can drop. You'll be able to learn more about these changes to Rating Battles in the February article.
Certificates for XP
We changed how sorting occurs in Storage, and now certificates for x3 and x5 XP are displayed at the top of the list. This way, it will be more convenient to keep track of them. Moreover, we fixed the issue in the Store where it wasn't always clear which tank in a bundle the certificate for bonus XP could be used for.
Legendary Camouflage
Owners of the following three tanks will soon receive offers to buy Legendary camos. These camos are the wild Rhino for the M48A2 Räumpanzer, the mighty Champion for the Object 252U, and the daring Interceptor for the T-100 LT.
Container for Ads
The Store will feature a container that you'll be able to open once a day by watching two ads. Its rewards may include icongoldpart parts of the certificate for gold, icongoldboost Gold boosters, iconshards Splinters, the exclusive Sparkling Spotlight camo, and the Panther/M10. At the same time, the usual feature of receiving gold by watching ads will not change. This container is only available for mobile device users.
Improvements and Fixed Bugs
- The Tiger II and its Savage camo, the KV-2 and its Menacing camo, the Skorpion G and its Stinging camo, and the 50TP prototyp received better graphics.
- The Tankenstein's crew can no longer receive critical damage (which makes sense as a zombie tank can't have a crew).
- The bug when the Precision Fire crew ability was activated in Realistic Battles was fixed.
- Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
- General bugs and client crashes were fixed.
