A new wave of Common Tests introduces high-tier British light vehicles and brings some improvements to Personal Missions. You’ll also have new opportunities for unique customization thanks to rectangular decals and other items. Finally, to allow you to better focus on the game, we’re disabling team damage and team kills caused by friendly fire and ramming.
Read on for a detailed overview of each feature!
High-Tier British Light Tanks Are Coming!
The Brits are receiving reinforcements, and it’s not a cup of tea or pudding – it’s a whole new branch of vehicles!
We know that among players of World of Tanks there are many fans of British tanks, and there is a vehicle for every Commander in this nation. You can pick a versatile medium tank, a heavy frontline brawler, or a tank destroyer from 2 branches. The only class the Brits have been lacking so far is high-tier light tanks.
Update 1.6 will correct this as four undetectable and menacing light British tanks, from Tier VII to Tier X, are going to storm the battlefields of World of Tanks! Researching the new light sub-branch will follow on from the Tier VI Cromwell.
One of the main features of these new light tanks is their size; they’re even smaller than the French light vehicles. They will sit among the smallest vehicles in the game and will only slightly exceed the ELC Even 90 in size. It will be very difficult to spot them, and even if you do, it will be difficult to hit them, especially when they’re on the move.
Also, British light tanks will have:
- Good view range
- Excellent dynamics
- High concealment rate
- Guns with big alpha damage, but mediocre DPM. These vehicles are more suitable for firing when stationary, not while driving.
Together, these characteristics make the new British vehicles very good scouts. This combination of view range, concealment values and tiny size is truly unique to our game, so the new Brits are ideal for both active and passive spotting.
All these vehicles are entirely historical, except for the Tier X tank – we had to modify it a bit. Also, they will all have an extravagant design that will make them instantly recognizable on the battlefield. Time to take them for a ride, Commanders!
More details about the new British tanks and their gameplay will be released later.
Personal Missions Tweaks
We continue our consistent work on rebalancing Personal Missions. This time we carefully analyzed statistics from the missions of the third operation of the second campaign, which rewards you with the Object 279 early. We also carefully reviewed your feedback and your suggestions for this operation.
As a result of this research, we’ve decided to simplify the conditions of about 40 missions in total – now they’ll require less time and effort to achieve. To complete them successfully, you will still need solid game skills, but they are no longer as complex as before.
Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions on any of the operations in the second campaign!

We’re also changing the conditions of missions for SPGs.
After rebalancing the SPG class earlier this year, we knew that we would have to tweak missions for this class, but we didn’t have enough data to make specific decisions yet. It took time to analyze how the changes in the gameplay mechanics would affect the statistics of SPGs. Based on these changes, we’re now ready to rebalance the missions.
