Commanders, v0.1.5 opens Endless Mode, the final battlefield of the German Front.
The US tank lineup also grows with 9 new tanks, including the first tank destroyer, the M10 Wolverine, and late-war Shermans with SHIFT tank skills. This update also adds 9 new skills including the first Master Skill, crew chatter, and 27 new achievements.
Endless Mode
Clear Stage 5 to unlock Endless Mode in the German Front list. There is no fixed campaign layout: the waves keep coming for as long as you can hold out.
A Front Without End
- Infinite waves, random formations: Every run and every wave builds a new enemy formation. The order in which new enemies appear also changes from run to run.
- A new battlefield every wave: Cover, trenches, barbed wire and anti-tank obstacles are rearranged at random every wave.
- The enemy grows fiercer over time: As waves progress and combat time grows, enemy numbers, health and damage keep rising. Later on, Panzer IIIs, Panzer IVs, Marders and anti-tank guns are packed in tight, and Tigers and Jagdtigers arrive in packs.
- Enemies you leave behind come back: Enemies you pass far behind do not simply vanish. Part of their strength returns ahead of you as fresh troops.
A Boss Every 5 Waves
- Panzer IV, Panther, Tiger, Jagdtiger and Maus bosses arrive with escort tanks.
- The boss is marked as the objective. You must destroy the boss to advance to the next sector.
- Destroying a boss grants +1 skill slot and drops a 300 C supply crate and a hull repair kit.
Supplies
- Credit supply crates are airdropped during combat. Destroyed enemy tanks can also drop supply crates.
- A repair kit restores 15% of your maximum HP.
- Drive over supplies to collect them. They disappear after a while.
Endless Rules
- No Skill Pool setup needed. Every skill you have researched appears in the shop.
- Up to 20 skill slots: Slots 6–15 are expanded in the shop, and slots 16–20 open one at a time as you destroy bosses.
- Unlimited rerolls. The price rises with every reroll and resets at the next REST.
- There is no mid-run save or continue. When you are defeated or end the run, the run's record is kept. Your campaign progress is not affected.
- For large-scale battles, Endless Mode locks graphics quality to Performance and caps the frame rate at 120 FPS. Your own settings return when you leave Endless Mode.
RP Rewards
RP is awarded immediately every time you clear a wave.
| Wave | W1–10 | W11–20 | W21–30 | W31–40 | W41+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RP per wave | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Runs that reach Wave 10 or later also convert leftover credits at the end of the run: 1 RP per 1,000 C.
Records and Rankings
- An Endless card is added to Records, showing your best wave, sorties, waves cleared, RP earned, enemies destroyed and play time.
- Global leaderboard: Compete with commanders worldwide on the final wave reached.
