Fauteur: Balance Improvements

The Fauteur, a Tier XI French heavy tank, is receiving a set of targeted improvements. These changes affect both its unique special ability and base parameters. Now you can use its high-powered firing mode with greater confidence. You can check out the exact stat changes in the Patch Notes on the portal.

Matchmaker Updates: Improvements and What’s Next

Since sharing our plans in March, we’ve been closely following your feedback—and now we’re ready to roll out several of the announced improvements. Starting with Update 2.3, the matchmaker will feature:

Reduced number of two-tiers-above battles for Tier VII–IX vehicles
Artillery limits—no more than two SPGs per team
Platoon balancing by tier—Platoons are matched with others of the same tier.
Fewer non-15×15 battles

Our goal is simple: make every battle feel fair, balanced, diverse, and comfortable. Work on the matchmaker continues. In this Update, we’ll keep testing new features. Check out the link below for more details.
