Ranked Battles Have Returned

~ Sebastianul ~ 5 Comments

Source: EU Portal

Ranked Battles are back, and they’ve seen some changes. You can find a complete overview with detailed information about the updates in the dedicated Ranked Battle article on our portal, but one of the biggest changes is the exclusion of a number of reward tanks from the event! For this Season, only researchable and Collectors’ Vehicles are able to enter Ranked Battles.

List of Excluded Tanks

Below is a list of tanks whose participation in the upcoming three Seasons of Ranked Battles will not be permitted.

We know that many of the tanks that are no longer permitted were quite popular and part of the previous Ranked Battle meta, but based on your feedback and the data that we’ve collected throughout the last Season, it was evident that they created an imbalance and a lot of players weren’t happy to face them in the mode.

Wargaming at Gamescom 2020

~ Sebastianul ~ 6 Comments

Wargaming will take part in the Gamescom 2020 exhibition (Germany). This was reported on the event website. Whether the company will present anything is still unknown. And right now, WG has already made a new 2D style for this exhibition – “Clean Energy” (Gamescom 2020). Price: 750 gold.

Gamescom is the annual and largest European exhibition dedicated to video games. This year the event will be held online because of the global pandemic COVID-19. Gamescom 2020 will be held from August 27 to 30.

Update 1.10: Common Test 2 Has Started!

~ Sebastianul ~ 34 Comments

Source: EU Portal. The second Common Test for Update 1.10 is now available!

Progetto M35 mod. 46 and Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10) Characteristics Fixing

The introduction of the previously announced changes to the Italian and French vehicles during the Common Tests resulted in a lively discussion among the game community. This was because these changes were not properly communicated to the community. Changes to the Premium vehicles were the result of complex rebalances of researchable vehicles. Together, these actions contradict one of our basic rules: do not decrease the battle performance of Premium vehicles.

Reasons for Rebalance

First of all, let us take a closer look at the reasons for the rebalance. Both the Italian branch of medium tanks and the French branch of wheeled vehicles needed a rebalance. Over time, the autoreloading mechanics have become an increasingly effective tool on the battlefield, especially in competitive modes. The French wheeled vehicles became unrivaled scouts—when commanded by experienced players, they are an extremely tough adversary. All these factors meant a rebalance of these branches was required with the intent of keeping their gameplay features and adjusting their battle performance.

Rebalance of the Premium Vehicles

However, consistency in this approach affected the Premium vehicles, too—namely the Progetto M35 mod. 46 and the Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10). Following the results of the first Common Test for Update 1.10, we made a decision that the changes to the Progetto M35 mod. 46 and Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10) would be compensated for with individual improvements to the battle performance for the Progetto M35 mod. 46 and individual physics settings for the Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10). In this way, these vehicles would keep their level of battle performance after the Update.

The Gun Rammer can no longer be mounted on the Progetto M35 mod. 46. However, its gun handling parameters will be improved to the level it would have been with the standard Gun Rammer equipped.

The characteristics of the standard Gun Rammer (not the Improved/Bounty Rammer) will be used for the improvement. Considering the fact that the vehicle basically receives one slot for equipment (which is especially interesting in the context of upcoming Equipment 2.0), improving the reload times to the level of the Improved/Bounty Rammer would make the vehicle far too powerful.

As a result, the parameters that were affected by the Gun Rammer on the Progetto M35 mod. 46 will remain unchanged.

Without the Gun Rammer mounted (before) With the Gun Rammer mounted (before) Without the Gun Rammer mounted (after)
Autoreloading time of the first shell: 11.5 sec

Autoreloading time of the second shell: 8.6 sec

Autoreloading time of the third shell: 7.7 sec

Damage per minute: 1,877 HP

 Autoreloading time of the first shell: 10.4 sec

Autoreloading time of the second shell: 7.8 sec

Autoreloading time of the third shell: 6.9 sec

Damage per minute: 2,086 HP

 Autoreloading time of the first shell: 10.4 sec

Autoreloading time of the second shell: 7.8 sec

Autoreloading time of the third shell: 6.9 sec

Damage per minute: 2,086 HP
Crew 100% bonus is considered

As for the Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10), the reworked mechanics of damage to the wheel suspension will affect the vehicle. However, we will compensate for this with individual physics settings, and the behavior of the Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10) within the new system will not differ in any way from its behavior in the current version of the game. As a result, the Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10) will basically remain the same as before the introduction of the system changes to the mechanics of damage to the wheel suspensions.

Update 1.10: Common Test 2 Patchnotes

~ Sebastianul ~ 10 Comments

Main Changes

New mechanic for the Tier X Polish medium tank.

The Tier X Polish medium tank received the mechanic of switching between drive modes.

  • Standard mode: the vehicle moves at standard speeds and has standard gun handling parameters.
  • Spinning turbine (turbo) mode: the vehicle travels significantly faster while gun handling parameters considerably decrease.

Interface Changes

We reworked the equipment/consumables UI while the equipment system was completely reworked.

  • Four equipment categories were added: Firepower, Survivability, Mobility, or Scouting. When equipment is mounted into a slot of the corresponding category, the received bonus increases. All vehicles of Tiers VI–X now have slots with categories.
  • Several existing equipment items were reworked.
  • Several new equipment items were added.
  • The interface for mounting equipment was reworked, including windows for mounting equipment/consumables and replenishing ammo. The technical characteristics section was extended.
  • The number of slots for equipment and consumables was changed for Tier I–IV vehicles. Directives can now only be equipped starting from Tier V. The mechanics of damage to modules/crew, as well as damage caused by fire was reworked for Tier I–III vehicles.
  • The Improved Equipment bonus was increased.
