WoT: Update 1.27 Common Test – Dive Into New Features!

~ KSA

The Common Test for Update 1.27 has begun, giving you the chance to experience Random Events on two new Random Battle maps: Cliff and Siegfried Line. Additionally, be among the first to try out 3D Attachments—a completely new customization feature that enhances the individuality of your vehicles. Finally, as the holiday season approaches, explore the Advent Calendar, a beloved festive activity available with test rewards.

All features in the Common Test are currently in active development. Any values, rewards, technical characteristics, and other feature settings relevant to the Common Test are not final and may not correspond to those in the release version.

Random Events on Cliff and Siegfried Line

We continue to expand our implementation of gameplay-changing Random Events across more maps for Random Battles. It’s time for Cliff and Siegfried Line to join the roster of maps with these spectacular features in action.

Here’s what you can expect in these locales:

Cliff: Lighthouse Crash Event

  • A plane crashes into the lighthouse, causing debris to fall and block the pathway to the hill. After colliding with the lighthouse, the plane continues onward and crashes, scattering debris across the landscape.

Siegfried Line: Carpet Bombing

  • Carpet bombing occurs in the urban area of the map, destroying several buildings. This creates new cover, opens previously blocked areas for movement, and establishes new positions for bold tactics.

Both events introduce additional cover and obstacles, creating new tactical opportunities and unexpected gameplay decisions for teams.

Make sure Random Events are enabled on both maps by checking the “Maps Under Development” option in your game settings. You can disable this feature at any time through the same setting.

3D Attachments: Customize Like Never Before!

Prepare to take your tank personalization to new heights with 3D Attachments! These unique visual elements allow you to enhance vehicles in exciting ways, ensuring you stand out on the battlefield. Attach them to specific anchor points on eligible tanks and watch as they become even more striking machines!

3D Attachments come in three rarity levels:

  • Rare
  • Epic
  • Legendary

Legendary Attachments feature special visual and/or sound effects that activate either during the countdown before the battle starts or in battle through specific triggers.

Note: Not all tanks can use 3D Attachments. For testing purposes, placeholder Attachments are used. They won’t be in the release version, where much more interesting and visually appealing ones will appear instead.

You’ll be able to get 3D Attachments through various in-game activities. Stay tuned, as we’ll soon reveal all the details—and prepare for much more impressive, stunning Attachments when this feature launches!

Advent Calendar: Open Doors to Rewards!

The Advent Calendar in Common Test 1 will be available on November 8, 2024. Check back then to start testing!

All Advent Calendar rewards are for testing purposes and will be replaced with different items upon the feature’s release.

The Advent Calendar is available for preliminary testing. The mechanics of this feature are simple: Open doors each day to receive your free in-game items. If you miss a day, no worries—you can still claim the previous day’s reward when you next log in, along with the current day’s gift.
