WoWS ST, Skip-bombers

In the near future a new type of aircraft carrier squadrons – skip-bombers, will be tested. Please note that if this concept is successfully tested, detailed information on its application will be announced later.

The squadrons tested will be equipped with HE bombs.

The peculiarity of these bombers will be a new type of attack, which in reality was used during World War II. The planes can descend to a low altitude to drop their bombs. The bombs themselves can make several bounces on the surface of the water before hitting the target.

Specifics of skip-bombers:

A new epic Battle Pass chapter will be checked out during the Supertest on September 4-7.

If you enjoy playing World of Tanks and earning heaps of valuable rewards in the process, we’ve got some great news for you! Battle Pass Season 3 has tons of them!

But before we continue, as a reminder, anything and everything in the Supertest is not final and may be changed before the actual release of the Season. The various characteristics and values that are relevant for the Supertest may not match those in the final version.

New Mechanics

Season 3 revolves around the new Equipment system, which is why we’ve included standard equipment in the rewards. More importantly, we’ve added new Bounty Equipment to the rewards as well. On top of that, you’ll even be able to select the equipment item you want to receive, which means that, in Season 3, you’ll get the equipment you really need! We’ve also sprinkled some extra Demounting Kits into the reward pool so that you can experiment with different equipment configurations more freely.

September Tank Rewards to Celebrate a World With Tanks

It was on September 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, that the first tank saw its operational use. The concept of heavily armored vehicles that could withstand bullets and support the infantry in their advancements was the British answer to the stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front during World War I. Tanks were constructed to operate on all types of terrain, capable of breaking through barbed wire and able to overcome trenches. The dawn of mechanized warfare had arrived, although the idea of armored fighting vehicles dated back hundreds of years. Leonardo da Vinci is often credited with the invention of the tank, a concept that was later picked up by H. G. Wells in his famous short story “The Land Ironclads” in 1903.

While caterpillar tractors were already used to move equipment around battlefields at the beginning of World War I, it wasn’t until the end of 1915, with the completion of “Little Willie” by the Landship Committee, that the first tank saw the light of day. The term “tank” was initially used as a code name to hide the efforts in constructing a powerful armored vehicle, but ultimately turned into the official nomenclature of the new war machines.

From this moment forward, tanks couldn’t be stopped and slowly changed the face of war. More and more countries started their own developments and created new concepts. Turrets were introduced, major improvements were made, and by World War II, the trench warfare of the past had been replaced by tank vs. tank battles and advancements in heavy war machinery.

See for yourself how far tank development has come, and take some of the best armored vehicles into battle. Complete as many Tank Reward missions as you can from September 4 at 07:00 CEST to September 28 at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2), to collect Tank Reward points and unlock rewards from 5 reward tiers. Each new tier contains even better rewards, such as Personal Reserves and plenty of in-game goods. Reach Tier V to choose 7 Days of WoT Premium Account, the V T14 , the VI Strv m/42-57 Alt A.2 , or the V Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai !

You have until October 1 to claim any rewards from this month’s event. Any vehicles owned will be compensated in credits.
