WoT RU: ±15% RNG, ±1 Matchmaking, Artillery Stun Removal, and Dispersion Changes

The changes introduced during the anniversary event caused such a stir that we could not resist sharing our plans for what is coming next.

Some features will arrive in the game very soon, while others will come later. Let us break it all down point by point, and most importantly explain when to expect the changes.

Penetration and Damage: Less RNG

The values of damage and penetration will be updated very soon. Both stats will be fixed at ±15%.

When to expect: Update 1.37

Matchmaker: ±1 Tier

The new matchmaking rules were warmly received, so we decided to further refine the system. From now on, battles will be formed under the ±1 tier rule.

However, we all know the excitement and challenge of facing enemy tanks two tiers higher, as well as the sweet sense of superiority when your team has tanks two tiers lower. These unique emotions are worth keeping. About 5% of battles will still be formed with the ±2 tier rule.

Preferential vehicles will not be overlooked either. A number of tanks have special matchmaking settings, and we are currently reviewing this aspect. We will share details about these adjustments soon.

When to expect: Update 1.38, The ±1 tier rule will be officially added to the game in mid-October with the release of update 1.38.

At the same time, we sincerely believe that ±2 tier battles can also provide exciting experiences. This can include the thrill and challenge of facing enemy tanks a couple of tiers higher, or the sweet feeling of superiority when the “red” team has vehicles two tiers lower. Therefore, occasionally, in less than 5% of cases, you will still encounter such battles.

A simple example: out of 100 battles played, only about 5 or possibly fewer will follow the ±2 tier rule. In some of these battles, you may even be at the top. We consider this the optimal approach. It allows teams to be evenly matched in most cases while occasionally creating more emotionally intense battles.

Of course, we have not forgotten about preferential vehicles and personal missions. We are actively studying these issues and will share information about future adjustments. As soon as decisions are finalized and approved for implementation, we will immediately share the details.

Matchmaker: Vehicle Type Restrictions

This will be introduced as a separate improvement to matchmaking. Soon, teams will be formed under the following restrictions:

• No more than 2 SPGs

• No more than 5 TDs

• No more than 2 light tanks

When to expect: Update 1.38

Artillery: Stun Removed

As previously outlined in the roadmap, this will not be limited to a full class rebalance. We will also revise the conditions of personal missions and achievements, refine Field Modification, and adjust artillery economy.

When to expect: Update 1.38

Dispersion: Fewer Misses

This innovation has truly divided World of Tanks into a “before” and “after”. It will definitely appear in the game. Tank guns will become more accurate than they were before version 1.36.1.

We also plan to rework the accuracy formula itself with a long-term perspective in mind. Analyzing all the gathered data will take time, but preparations to calibrate all vehicles under the new accuracy system have already begun.

We will be back with details as soon as possible. Stay tuned to the game’s portal for updates.
