First, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the players who actively took part in testing and discussing the reworked Equipment 2.0 system. We really appreciate your continued interest and contribution, both of which are extremely valuable!
During the two test iterations, we were monitoring your reactions and feedback on forums and other online platforms while also analyzing the data obtained. We’re now ready to share the results of this large test and announce several additional changes to Equipment 2.0, which we aim to introduce to the game in Update 1.10. You’ll certainly have the opportunity to try out all these changes and revisions during the Common Test of this update as well as share your feedback.
In a nutshell, all tests have been successful so far, and we seem to be moving in the right direction. However, there are some aspects of this feature that still have room for improvement. Here’s a closer look at the revisions we suggest.
Major Changes After Two Sandbox Test Iterations
Ventilation will now be assigned to all four categories: firepower, survivability, mobility, and scouting. Previously, it was available for three categories, with the exception being survivability. Now, Ventilation will match with all slots with categories assigned, providing a nice performance bonus to your vehicles. If a slot doesn’t have a category, then Ventilation will provide a standard bonus.
In addition, we decided to slightly adjust the bonuses for the following types of equipment:
| Category | Equipment | New Standard Bonus | New Improved Bonus | Sandbox Iteration 2 (standard/improved bonuses) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firepower | Improved Aiming Unit | 5% | 7% | 7% / 9% |
| Mobility | Additional Grousers | Hull traverse speed: 15%
Acceleration: 10% |
Hull traverse speed: 20%
Acceleration: 15% |
Hull traverse speed: 10% / 15%
Acceleration: 7.5% / 10% |
| Mobility | Turbocharger | Maximum speed forward: 4 km/h
Maximum speed backward: 2 km/h |
Maximum speed forward: 5 km/h
Maximum speed backward: 3 km/h |
Maximum speed forward: 5 km/h / 6 km/h
Maximum speed backward: 3 km/h / 4 km/h |
| Scouting | Low Noise Exhaust System | Light and medium tanks: 6% | Light and medium tanks: 8% | Light and medium tanks: 7% / 9% |
