WoT 9.22 Preliminary Patchnotes

~ Veroxx

Matchmaker tweaks

  • The changes will mostly affect how players are put together in various game modes. This means that if you were thrown into the usual random battle a few times in a row, now you’ll have a greater chance to see another game mode.

Customization improvements

  • On the bottom side of the menu we’ll have icons which will signal which elements of customization are applied to the tank
  • The area which you can click to apply an emblem got bigger
