Description:

From the diary of A. M.: „Today I did what I had to. It was pure luck to run into Kilmore’s unit at the very moment when his guys needed additional fire support. I might not have been their savior, but my assistance really came in handy. I believe so, at least! He started nagging at me again, but this time, I didn’t feel the anger that had been in his words before. I just want to prove to him that I can handle a tank as well as a scalpel. I can be a really big help on the battlefield, not just at the hospital. If he stops being so stubborn and allows me to fight, he’ll see that I’m the trusted companion he needs.”

Description:

— From the diary of D. K.: \”What is this girl up to? She wants to prove that she has strength and courage? We can already see that, but she also seems to lack a basic sense of self-preservation. Sooner or later, her vehicle will get blown up and we’ll lose such a… true professional, damn it! She’d better stay at the hospital to help people and work miracles. But I have to admit that without her assistance, we would have lost one of ours on the battlefield. Well, if she’s that brave, I’ll give her my surfboard when this all ends… If it ends.

Battle Pass 2: Unique Commanders Info

~ Sebastianul ~ 10 Comments

In the new battle pass, you will be able to get one of two unique Commanders.

„Cutting through the standard progression will give you the chance to get any style or commander in your hands. Everyone with an improved pass will also be able to get a second style. If you bought an improved pass, just pick the tank with the commander you like the most. The style of the second tank will be transferred to your account later, without a commander.”

Angela Milotova (only for Czechoslovakia)

– She’s a determined and headstrong lady. In her childhood, she learned the specifics of tank combat from her father. However, later on, she followed in her mother’s footsteps and studied medicine. After graduating from the Academy, she had a good track record in field hospitals but insisted on transferring to a tank unit where she hopes to realize her full potential as a tank commander.

Damon Kilmore (only for USA)

– An experienced commander who’s always cool and calculating. During his 20 years of service, he’s braved many challenges, earning his own command while receiving the respect of his comrades-in-arms. He likes to win with honor, keep strict discipline, and comply with the rules of engagement. Due to its outstanding performance, Kilmore’s platoon is something of a legend. As an avid surfer, he keeps his surfboard nearby as a good luck charm.

[WoT Sandbox] Equipment 2.0 Test Starts June 2 + More Details

Equipment in World of Tanks has been around for years. Although our game is constantly evolving, equipment has only undergone some slight adjustments and minor changes.

It’s high time to rethink our vision of this fundamental feature by updating and making it more interesting, yet simpler and more attractive at the same time, especially for novices. Starting from June 2, you’ll have the opportunity to try out the reworked Equipment 2.0 system during open testing on the Sandbox server while earning days of WoT Premium Account for your active participation. The test client will be available for preloading starting from June 1, 13:00 UTC. Join the test and share your feedback!

JOIN THE TEST

All players registered prior to May 19, 20:59 UTC can participate in the test.

Equipment 2.0 Sandbox Test

June 2, 14:00 UTC through June 9, 14:00 UTC

Please note that the Equipment 2.0 concept that you will experience on the Sandbox server is just an experiment to test the viability of our ideas. All proposed changes may not make it to the final iteration, or they may be released in a reworked format. We want to share our suggestions and possible adjustments with you so that we can collect your feedback and opinions.

Sandbox is designed to develop collaborative solutions with our players, so testing any features on this platform doesn’t mean that they will be introduced into the game.

Equipment in World of Tanks: Current State of Affairs

Just to be clear, let’s start off with the key reasons for reworking equipment. Most of you have probably encountered the following issues with the current system:

  1. Lack of variety and limited choice. Most players use only a few of the most popular types of equipment. These include Gun Rammers, Ventilation and Gun Laying Drives, Camouflage Nets, Coated Optics, Binocular Telescopes, and Vertical Stabilizers. Other types of equipment (Enhanced Suspension, Additional Grousers, etc.) are in less demand and are almost never used. We want to make the choice of equipment more diverse so you can base it on your individual playstyle.
  2. Several versions of the same type of equipment exist—Enhanced Suspensions, Gun Rammers, etc. All of them are designed to improve the same combat parameter, and the difference in cost between these modifications is insignificant, which may confuse players, especially newcomers.
  3. Limited variability of equipment configurations, regardless of vehicle class. In fact, most players mount 3 basic combinations using the most popular types of equipment. A classic example is mounting a Vertical Stabilizer, Ventilation, and a Gun Rammer. Even though other configurations can be mounted, this almost never occurs.
  4. Equipment costs do not adapt to vehicles of different tiers. For example, most pieces of equipment are relatively expensive for low-tier tanks, while it is more affordable for top-tier machines. As a result, at low tiers, the cost of a set of equipment typically exceeds the cost of a specific tank.
  5. There are many types of equipment to improve firepower, but few to enhance other performance characteristics, such as mobility. As a result, some vehicle classes (light or medium tanks) cannot improve their key combat parameters.

What Do We Want to Do?

All of the above aspects are closely interconnected, so we want to offer you a comprehensive and detailed concept for testing of the reworked equipment on Sandbox. Our top priorities are:

  • Simplify the choice and use of all equipment.
  • Increase its diversity, including various modifications used by players.
  • Make equipment cost more affordable for low and medium tiers.

As such, we are going to share the following suggestions and possible mechanics.
