YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS YET!
August 7, 10:00 (MSK) – September 3, 03:30 (MSK)
Here’s the promised surprise – something truly grand.
In honor of our game’s birthday and only for 4 weeks – from August 7 to September 3 – a special version 1.36.1 “Turnaround” will be launched.
Discover an entirely new World of Tanks! You’ll love it!
BATTLE MATCHMAKER: NEW TEAM ASSEMBLY
• Battle tier spread reduced to ±1 tier.
• Teams will be assembled with the following limits: no more than 2 SPGs, no more than 5 TDs, no more than 2 light tanks.
PENETRATION AND DAMAGE: LESS RNG
• Penetration spread changed from ±25% to ±15%.
• Damage spread changed from ±25% to ±10%.
ARTILLERY: NO MORE STUN
• Stun effect will be disabled.
• Important: stun for all SPG-class vehicles will be disabled only during version 1.36.1 “Turnaround”.
• Note: this change is not related to the SPG rework testing in the “Field Trials” mode.
SHELL DISPERSION: FEWER MISSES
• Shells will now land closer to the center of the aiming circle, reducing the chance of missing.
ONLY FOR 4 WEEKS
• Remember: everything that was in 1.36.1 will remain in 1.36.1.
• But that’s not guaranteed 😉
• Be sure to share your thoughts in the forum thread!
Lesta once again showing how its done!
Only 1 Month
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻for lesta, ahame on wg☝🏻
another lesta W
RU get this, EU get more premium tanks and shitty marathons
How many go over Putin Controlled Lesta World of Tanks and stop promoting Lesta overhead content updates.. these commenters are infested with Putin War idiotic
Putin probably plays “Mir Tankov” himself and, like everyone else, was annoyed by the artillery and the crappy matchmaking. Unlike us, he was able to solve the problems quickly and effectively. xD
cant wait until you are able to form a single sentence in english, been trying for what now, a year?
Meanwhile, WG is begging people to participate in their “Closed Test” by giving some pathetic participation rewards.
Holy shit, it couldn’t get more embarrassing.
They want to hire people to work for them for free.
It’s just impossible for them to cut their greed even for a brief moment.
If it’s 2020, there might be enough enthusiasts (including me) who will willingly say “say no more, I’m in”.
Unfortunately, it’s 2025 and they have proved us multiple times that it’s no longer worth our time.
Saving WoT is still very much possible. WG just refuses to do so.
I think we’ll get the same thing described here in WoT with the September update. What I particularly like about it is that the annoying stun effect on artillery has been removed, the +1 matchmaking, and the RNG for penetration and hit reductions have been slightly reduced. This might make some tanks playable or playable again. Still, two lights and two artillery are too many. One of each is enough. Five TDs are also too many in my opinion; four are enough. However, if the matchmaker guaranteed to match two snipers (Grille, SU130PM, etc.) and three frontline bruisers (T110E3 Kilana, 268/4, etc.), five TDs would be fine too. In any case, I’m giving WG one last chance with the September update and I’m really looking forward to it. If they screw this up, I’m out…
Same
Acc to some streamers, there could be also some tank balance changes… who knows…
Less than 2 LT/match would clog the MM and pose another risk. What if you get an LT-heavy map like Prokhorovka and Malinovka and your team gets either a below average light player or just an attack-heavy light like an HWK a Squall or a Blesk meanwhile the opposing tem gets something scouting-oriented like an Even 90. That battle is probably lost before the counter hits 0. Having at least two lowers this occurrance.
You are writin BS. This thing occurs even now…
It is already like that. One good lt player with the right lt outplays them all the time. Doesnt matter whether its 2 or 3.
Lesta: lets improve player experience with our game
WarGayMing: lets gamble, more lootboxes
My guess. After a few days with this test most players will realize how much better the game is today.
“It was better before in the good old days” is seldom true.
It was better in the good old days before the first time they shrank the reticle. Doing it a second time is an awful idea. Leave that shit in Onslaught where it belongs.
Really? Is it a bad idea even in current game with way more overal speed, tanks with micro weakpoints if any, turbo equip, etc… I have a feeling people like the Onslaught quite much…
Ooh and one very important thing is, they are goin to experiment with it on live server! (not some shitty sandbox or whatever server) only one month. This ridiculously greedy and lazy WG company doesnt have balls for even 1 month of experimenting…
Interesting test.
I like less spread on DMG and penetration but shell dispersion should stay as it is. This is one of key elements making tanks good or not so good and unique in general.
But DMG and penetration? That should be strait as advertised in shell description – you pay for those values with silver, you expect to get them.
Matchmaking will still determine gameplay
and if they don’t sort MM out then this will end up being a different version of the same 15-3 four minute waste-of-your-valuable-internet-time shitshow
Frontline has tanked because of the bad Matchmaker, the game itself is awesome
but 30 minutes of rigged crap was too much for most players to bear anymore, not even worth logging in for anymore
interesting thesis. i belive the mode is rather bland in general and after years of the same gameplay- boring 😀 at least thats why im not playing naymore im not assuming all players think the same.
frontline is fucking dogshit and never was anything else.
bots get to yolo your ass more, because respawns.
td dogs get to sit at 500 meters from the action, arty “players” do what they do, light tanks actually become useful, same with mediums, and heavies vary by part of the map.
ability and td spam ruins it like everything else.
ab above nailed it…. 15-3, 4-15, all this turbo loss win / shit is NOT FUN. This game IS NOT FUN anymore…I hope you shitshow dev’s pay attention. Update your resumes because hopefully your game crashes and burns finally. I’m given SEPT update a chance and if its shit like this current version…I’m going to fill the HD space with another game in its place and not look back…just like I did on warships and warplanes and both betas you let me be part of that you ultimately abandoned development of.
WG has done a FANTASTIC job and being hated almost as much as Electronic Arts.
The term rigged is used by bad players that refuse to believe that they are accountable for their bad play. Learn the game, study and get better…you’re not important enough to be “rigged” against LOL
YES!
They need to reduce damage. Being hit twice is game over that is not fun
My ping is to high… 🙁
hat would actually make me stop playing so boring, always the same vehicles… no strategy left..nah, another thing that WG oes betetr with their new MM.
+-1MM and a wide reballancing of TT tanks would be enough to create veriaty. this would reduce the dependency to play only meta tanks and those stinky sweaters could finally go take a shower.
