In version 1.27.1 files, the familiar Arcade mode was found during the Common Test. The launch dates are unknown, but the previous ones were in December 2023 for the winter Arcade events and in March 2024 for the spring events.
Let’s briefly describe the main points of each mode. But as we can see, the basic principles have not changed.
1. ❄️Winter arcade (expected in ~February).
Snowball fight:
Become a “high-explosive monster” no matter what you play on. The armor penetration of primary and special shells has been reduced, but the damage of high-explosive shells has been increased. The appearance of the ammunition is completely in line with the holiday atmosphere.
Ice age:
If you got to the rink in a multi-ton machine, then you have two options: feel like a cow on ice or show what stylish drift is. As compensation, the dispersion has been reduced, and festive shot effects will add atmosphere to the event.
“Snowball Fight” and “Ice Age” take place in snowy battle locations: Mannerheim Line, Erlenberg and Glacier.
Additionally, for playing in submodes, there are special winter versions of the maps “Karelia”, “Prokhorovka” and “Malinovka”.
2. Spring standard arcade (expected in March).
Surprise effect:
Have you studied all the technical characteristics of your vehicle, damage spread, speed, number of hit points? Everything is different here. The damage spread has been expanded, now the maximum possible damage is noticeably higher, the minimum is less, and the probability of getting extreme values has been increased. In addition, the rate of fire of the gun and engine power have been increased here, so that you have more chances to try out your new weapon.
Railgun:
Now you have the most improved of all improved scopes! Increased accuracy will help you hit across the entire map, but you can forget about ambush tactics – the radius of guaranteed detection (the so-called “X-ray”) is now 445 meters. Fortunately, increased mobility and accuracy on the move leave no sense in guarding the bushes on the red line.
Waste of time
