Update 1.12: Common Test 2 Is Ready! + Patchnotes

Get ready to continue your victorious tank journey in Battle Pass: Season 4, which you can already experience during the second Common Test of Update 1.12! You’ll also have the opportunity to try your hand at the ultimate Season of Ranked Battles 2020–2021.

In 2021, we’ll continue the Season-based approach, so new Battle Pass Seasons will await you in spring, summer, and autumn. However, the number of Stages in each Season, how Points are earned, and the reward system will all be revamped.

Battle Pass: Season 4 is available only for preliminary testing. Various characteristics and values that are relevant for Common Test 2 may not correspond to those in the final version. All rewards in Battle Pass during this Common Test are for testing purposes and may be replaced by other prizes.

One Season, Three Chapters

Each Battle Pass Season will consist of 3 Chapters, and there will be no longer an Elite Progression. Each Season Chapter will consist of a certain number of Stages. You will continue earning Points, completing Stages, and receiving rewards, but now, each Season will have three Core Vehicles and characters. Accordingly, there will also be three stunning progressive styles (more on those below).

Earning Points

You’ll be able to earn Battle Pass Points in Tier VI–X vehicles in the following game modes:

  • Random Battles (except for Grand Battles)
  • Ranked Battles
  • Steel Hunter
  • Frontline

WoT: Shooting Range Map Video

T8z5h3, our reader, sent us this:

Do you know anything about the shooting range map that has shown up in the last 3 wargaming videos?

I ended up lifting the footage from them and put it together with the promotional part of the arcade mini game from WG Fest 2019.

I don’t know why but it feels like there is some sort of lineage there and the map seems too detailed to be a “internal only test” map.
