WOT Express: Screenshots of The New Garage Interface in Update 2.0

The very first and quite important element players will see upon entering the client after the new update is the redesigned Garage UI.

It has been completely reworked and modernized. The most noticeable change is the new arrangement of game menus. Some have been moved and combined (for example, all tank servicing is now in one place above the tank carousel), freeing up space. Text backgrounds have also been removed.

Details:
• New Garage — a large tank production factory (covered in another post)
• Resources, Premium Account, and WoT Plus remain in place, but text backgrounds have been removed
• Mode selection, Store, Campaigns, etc. moved to the left side of the screen
• On the right, where vehicle characteristics (stats) used to be, there are now current game events and daily missions; the tank’s name and XP have been moved to the top center of the screen
• All tank servicing is now located above the carousel; crew and all related elements tied to the selected vehicle were moved there
• One of the new Garage functions is the long-awaited Armor Model Viewer (covered in a separate post)
• The tank carousel received minor changes — only the design and size of vehicle icons were updated
• New filters added for vehicle selection; a new fullscreen vehicle selector appears when pressing Space; vehicles can also be grouped into lists (similar to playlists)
• Server status and settings button were moved to the Notification Center and Session Statistics
• The design of Daily Missions has been updated — now everything is displayed conveniently on one screen

For most players, the new interface will feel unusual. Some may see similarities with the console version of the game. Such changes to long-established design elements are always hard to accept, but we believe they are necessary! You’ll adapt to it fairly quickly, within 2–4 hours of play.

Main drawback: the vehicle characteristics (stats) are no longer visible on the main screen. To access them, you now need to go through several clicks and open a separate tab. For many players, losing the immediate visibility of tank stats will be difficult to accept. Modders may try to fix this, but it would require reworking the entire Garage interface to fit the stats back in.

This post only covers changes to the main game screen; other submenus have also been redesigned and will be reviewed separately.
