WoT: New Season of Steel Hunter

Source: EU Portal

Are you ready for a new Season of our battle royale onslaught, Commanders?

Steel Hunter is returning to World of Tanks! This year, we are discontinuing Expedition, the progression system shared with Frontline. Instead, you will earn Battle Pass Points based on your position in the post-battle ranking, and by completing special missions in Steel Hunter. There will be four separate Stages of this exciting mode, with the first Stage kicking off on March 15. Get ready to join 19 other brave hunters either solo or in a three-vehicle Platoon to be the last hero standing and emerge victorious!

Steel Hunter Stage 1

15 March 2021 at 07:00 CET through 22 March 2021 at 04:00 CET (UTC+1)

Each day will have a ceasefire period with the exact times listed in the table below. The start and end dates of the other upcoming Steel Hunter Stages will be added later, so stay tuned!

Start End Ceasefire
Stage 1 15 March 2021 at 07:00 CET (UTC+1) 22 March 2021 at 04:00 CET (UTC+1) Tuesdays to Fridays at 02:00 to 07:00 CET

Saturdays to Mondays at 03:00 to 07:00 CET
Stage 2 More information coming in April 2021
Stage 3 More information coming in May 2021
Stage 4 More information coming in June 2021

 Overview

The core gameplay mechanics of this mode remain unchanged, so you can find all details in the updated event guide. We’re sure you remember the basic rules, but here’s a brief refresher just in case:

  • Choose to fight solo or in one of ten Platoons of three (in this case, there will be a total of 30 players).
  • In Steel Hunter mode, it’s every player for themselves. Your main goal is to survive at any cost, destroy all your opponents, and be the last Steel Hunter standing.
  • The total battle time is 15 minutes. Before the battle, you can choose from several spawn points on the map.
  • Seek and collect special objects (loot) that periodically spawn on the map. They contain resources, XP, and vehicle upgrades.
  • Battles take place on two huge maps (Dreamland and Arzagir 4.04) whose playable areas shrink over time. Escape Danger Zones, as they will destroy your vehicle once the countdown ends if your vehicle is still inside.

Supertest: 🇸🇪 Strv K (Initial Stats & HD Renders)

~ Sebastianul ~ 10 Comments

The Swedish tier IX STRV K heavy tank returns to the closed supertest after a year of hiatus.

In the past, this vehicle served as a support tank, but now the STRV K has turned into a classic heavy tank. The gameplay will be a mix of the M103 and T-10 games. Most of the tankers will like the STRV K and will manage to achieve good results in it.
Which STRV K stats have been changed?

The gun became more comfortable due to greater armor penetration with standard and premium shells (252 mm and 310 mm, respectively). The accuracy of the gun was increased to 0.34 per 100 m. The aiming time has also increased to 2.3 seconds.

The dynamics of the vehicle also improved thanks to the increase in horsepower per ton (16.4 hp / t), but the hull rotation speed decreased to 30 deg / s. Continue reading “Supertest: 🇸🇪 Strv K (Initial Stats & HD Renders)” →

G.I. Joe and Cobra Join the Battle in World of Tanks

~ Sebastianul ~ 12 Comments

Source: EU portal

World of Tanks is launching a special collaboration, and all of you can participate.

Created by Hasbro, G.I. Joe is one of the most popular action figure lines in the world. Generations of kids in the U.S. and beyond played with them and were captivated by the struggle of the international elite spec ops team against their sworn enemies of Cobra, a multi-faceted and masterfully coordinated global criminal network. Uncounted millions of battles which have been fought with plastic action figures (often commanded by present-day online tankers) have elevated G.I. Joe to the status of a cultural phenomenon.

And now, one global cultural phenomenon is about to meet another. The famous adversaries from G.I. Joe and Cobra have come to World of Tanks to settle their scores in their impressive new vehicles, the B.T.T. (having the same stats as the TS-5) and the B.O.A. (having the same stats as the T-54 first prototype).

The exteriors of the B.T.T. and the B.O.A. are non-historical; their display can be toggled on or off at any time in your Game Settings, under the General tab.
