Personal Reserves

We have also worked to implement a “Booster System” of Personal Reserves!

If you want to train Crew faster or grind down a line quickly with additional experience from each fight, you can now earn and activate specific reserve “boosters” which give you the opportunity to gain more rewards or lower repair costs for any tank you play with in Random Battles while the reserve is active!

The following five types of Personal Reserves will be available to players: Increased Crew Experience, Increased Combat Experience, Decreased Repair Cost, Additional Credits and Additional Free Experience.

How Do I Earn a Personal Reserve?

Personal Reserves are earned when a player completes specific missions, which will become visible in the Missions tab once they are activated, and can be completed only in Random Battles. Once a mission is completed, the Personal Reserves that you earn are available for a limited time.

How Do I Activate a Personal Reserve?

Click on your nickname in the Garage heading and select available Personal Reserves.

Personal Reserves vary in type depending on the scale of the booster. The more difficult the mission, the larger the boost will be!

Small (0-7.5%)
Medium (7.5-12.5%)
Large (over 12.5%)

It is important to note that Personal Reserves are only effective in Random Battles and last for a limited time after activation. Up to three Personal Reserves can be active at a time, and if a Reserve expires during battle, the player will not receive the boost.

Also, reserves of the same type do not stack. For example, if you activate two Personal Reserves for an experience boost, only the smaller boost will apply. If a 5% boost and a 12% are activated at the same time, only the 5% boost will apply. Additional gain from Personal Reserves is displayed in a separate line within post-battle statistics.

Battle Performance Badges

It’s not always easy to tell what kind of impact you’re having in the heat of battle, so with Update 9.8 we’ve developed new ways to let you know how effective your shots and maneuvers are—right as you make them!

You will earn pop-up Battle Performance Badges when you spot your enemies, put the hurt on them, or help your teammates shape the battle to your benefit!

You can also check which badges you earned in the Battle Results screen. This will feature more details about exactly what you did to win them!
