Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary and subject to change during testing. Any showcased features may or may not end up on the main server.
In 0.9.6 we’ve updated the sound engine and audio parameters in our game:
- Sound quality was improved on all quality settings.
- Sound quality was improved in multi-channel sound systems (5.1, 7.1 and others).
- Engine sounds of ships were updated. Besides, they are now divided into 2 types – steam turbine and diesel. Each engine type will have its own distinctive sound.
- Plane engine sounds were updated.
- The environmental sounds in the “Ultra” settings were reworked.
- The “SFX volume” slider was removed form audio settings. Before the change, the slider was used to control all non-musical effects except for voice, thus duplicating all other sliders located in the right corner of the audio settings tab.
- A new “Damage volume” slider was added in the audio settings tab. It is used to control the sound of shells’ interaction with all surfaces and ships, and the effects they cause.
We’ve also added some new sound effects:

Refreshing Your Memory
The core Battle Pass gameplay mechanics remain unchanged from Season 1. Keep on fighting in Random Battles (except for Grand Battles) in Tier VI–X vehicles, perform your best, and earn Progression Points to advance through Battle Pass Stages. Your current Battle Pass Stage will be displayed on the Battle Pass medal in your Garage. Click on it to head to the Battle Pass screen where you can find information about rewards and Stages.
The number of Progression Points you earn depends on your position in your team’s post-battle ranking by XP earned. Even if your team loses or draws, you will still receive Progression Points.
| Position in Your Team’s Post-Battle Ranking by XP Earned | Win a battle | Lose a battle / Draw | ||||
| Tier VI–X vehicles | M48A5 Patton | TVP T 50/51 | Tier VI–X vehicles | M48A5 Patton | TVP T 50/51 | |

New Core Vehicles
Each tank in Battle Pass has a Point Limit. The higher the tank’s tier, the higher the Limit. Once the Limit is reached, you can still play in the vehicle, but you won’t be able to earn more Progression Points, so you’ll need to choose another tank if you wish to continue earning them.
Each Battle Pass Season features several tanks with Core Vehicle status. They have special rules for obtaining Progression Points, as well as increased Limits. Season 2 will have two new Battle Pass Core Vehicles: the 
X 
M48A5 Patton (a Tier X American medium tank) and the 
X 
TVP T 50/51 (a Tier X Czechoslovakian medium tank). In addition, the same rules will apply to the VII 
King Tiger (Captured) , a powerful Tier VII American heavy tank. It will earn the same number of Progression Points as a Tier X tank.
