Tank Brawl: A New Iteration Incoming!

~ Sebastianul ~ 12 Comments

In 2020, we conducted several tests that trialed Brawl mode. We studied your feedback, and saw your keen interest in the 7v7 format, which showed great potential. We’re now ready to move forward and kick off a new iteration of Brawl that will last 4 days, from April 29 through May 3.

Brawl will feature two fresh mechanics that will make your gameplay experience more enjoyable. This promising battle format has a good chance to become the basis for a permanent game mode of World of Tanks in the future, but a whole lot depends on your impressions and feedback. Join Brawl and share your feedback. With your help, we will see what the future holds for this promising mode.

Brawl

April 29, 2021, 12:00 CEST through May 3, 2021, 03:00 CEST (UTC+2)

Prime Times
12:00 – 03:00 CEST (UTC+2) (EU1 and EU2 servers)

Fog of War

This iteration of Brawl introduces the Fog of War mechanic. At the beginning of a battle, teams won’t know the location and strength (vehicle types and models) of the enemy forces until they are spotted, nor will they see the nicknames of their opponents. However, you will be able to see the post-battle statistics of the enemy team.

Key Positions

In each battle, there will be one key position on the map. This is a special area which, after being captured, allows you to activate a tactical or combat ability of your choice.

The diameter of the key position will be about one third of the standard base diameter. To capture it, your entire vehicle must drive into this area and remain there for 15 seconds.

Only one vehicle can capture a key position, and its capture time doesn’t depend on the number of allies in it. The vehicle that reaches the key position first will be the one to capture it.

WoT 2.0 Leaked Footage (TAP Exclusive)

~ Sebastianul ~ 47 Comments

UPDATE 26 January: Watch the video above, it’s been reuploaded.

I have read certain comments recently, saying that we do not provide original leaks anymore. However, thanks to a certain Portuguese source with contacts at WG, we managed to get a hold of these videos. You can find them here:

Google Drive link

Please download and reupload them everywhere before they get taken down by WG!

I uploaded them on Dailymotion if you don’t want to download the files above (password is 123):

video 1 – garage, night battles, and premium A10 strike
video 2 – crappy armor system, shooting machine gun though holes made by main gun
video 3 – helicopters in battle
video 4 – night mode
video 5 – ready rack on Merkava

Video 5 in depth description:

„This is the ready rack, it shows how many rounds are in the ready rack, so every time we fire (the video is sped up), it will go through the ready rack rounds first, after it is done pulling rounds from the ready rack, you can notice that the rate of fire slows way down. Now, the vehicle is doing nothing, the loader will try to fill up the ready rack again, so he can continue doing burst fire. So this kind of differentiates manually loaded vehicles compared to autoloaders which have always a consistent rate of fire; a ready rack can work in bursts.”

The one who sent me the videos also told me this: „Viktor Kislyi was a disgrace at last Tankfest, so coked up that he could barely stand”
