Blueprints, New Functionality:

Blueprints are special content items that can be used to get discounts on researching new vehicles. Every researchable vehicle (starting from Tier II) has blueprints.

  1. Once a blueprint is completely assembled, no experience is required for researching a corresponding vehicle.
  2. Each blueprint consists of fragments; their number depends on the vehicle tier. Each fragment increases the research discount of a particular vehicle.
  3. If a player receives a blueprint fragment for a vehicle that has already been researched or has all blueprint fragments collected, such blueprint fragments will be automatically converted to one of the following blueprint types: universal or national.
  4. A player can get a blueprint fragment they need by converting a certain number of national and universal blueprint fragments. The number of the required blueprint fragments depends on the vehicle tier.

Added a new type of battle rewards: Reward for Merit (previously known as the Random Reward). They contain various game items, as well as blueprint fragments. They can be earned in the following way:

  • With a certain probability after each battle.
  • If a player does not receive a Reward for Merit after a battle, the probability of receiving it increases for the next battle. When you receive a Reward for Merit, the probability is reset and the process repeats.
  • These rewards can be earned only in Random Battles.
  • The first four rewards you earn will be small and the fifth one will be large.

Crew Skins:

A crew skin includes the following set of personal data:

  • Unique avatar
  • Unique first and last name
  • Short informational note

A crew skin is applied to a crew member and changes their look. At the same time, all attributes, experience, Skills and Perks remain unchanged. Application of a crew skin is free of charge.
Moreover, Personal Data of crew members can now be changed free of charge.
