Update 1.10: Steel Hunter 2020 Bugs

Wargaming is testing the Steel Hunter mode during the Common Test of Patch 1.10 and many heavy bugs have been reported (and many bugs from FL have migrated to the new map):

  • Tank flips on the side at the beginning of the battle
  • texture failures on the new map,
  • Tank falling under the map (as it was last year).
  • when a tank returns to the tracks (next to the building), the tank is stuck into the texture. It’s impossible to leave, or to shoot against other tanks too.

We hope that all will be corrected for the release in August. It is not good for the best tank mode to come out with such bugs.
