Update 1.9.1 Preview

~ Sebastianul ~ 8 Comments

Source: EU Portal

Spring is in full swing, and we’re actively working on new World of Tanks features! First, they’ll head to Supertest* for testing. Later, these latest additions will be available to all Commanders in the Common Tests for the upcoming Update 1.9.1.

One of the main highlights of this update is a new, picturesque map for Random Battles—Berlin. In addition, we’re working on new customization mechanics, which we aim to release with it. You’ll definitely get to try these features out during the Common Tests. We also plan to introduce some other cool additions in this update, so you’d better keep your eyes peeled for more details coming soon.

Now let’s take a closer look at the new map and the latest customization updates.

Welcome to Berlin, Commanders!

With the release of Update 1.9.1, a breathtaking new locale, Berlin, will be introduced to Random Battles. This 1050×1050 meter map of the German capital during the final moments of the Second World War in Europe was recreated with high historical accuracy. You can easily spot its most famous landmarks and even take a virtual drive through the city.

The Berlin map will be available for Standard and Encounter Battles. It is roughly divided into four main areas. Each vehicle type will be able to find its place in the battle and unleash its combat potential. There is enough space for active maneuvers, long-distance sniping, and other tactics.

More detailed information about the new Berlin map will be available in a dedicated article. You will also have the opportunity to explore this atmospheric map during the Common Tests of Update 1.9.1.

Discover New Customization Mechanics!

In Update 1.9.1, vehicle customization will see three new changes that allow you to make your tanks look even more unique.

Firstly, there will be projection decals (including rectangular ones that can be applied to the entire side of the tank) for all tiers and all nations.

World of Tanks developer Wargaming has hired David Smit as its new creative director.

The move was announced by Smit on his personal LinkedIn profile. No further details were provided.

Smit’s previous roles include creative director of Happy Tuesday, the developer behind mobile free-to-play title Hero Defense. He was also formerly an art director at King, and has worked with Crytek, Bigpoint, Guerilla Games, and more.

TAP note: he is a good guy, since Crytek = Crysis. Other firms he worked at have very good games too.

Tanks for the memories

Wargaming recently announced its first battle pass for mobile title World of Tanks Blitz. This first pass will run from May 1st until May 29th.

World of Tanks Blitz also held an event in April 2020 in which players could win a piece of the Moon. The event also introduced zero-gravity effects to the game for a brief period.
