We want you, Commanders!

The Supertest program, previously only available on the RU server, will find its new home on the EU server.

The Supertest is an early test iteration of intended changes, improvements, and new content. It is a closed test limited to a fixed number of players known as Supertesters. Supertesters must apply to the program and are selected if they fulfill the requirements and there is a demand for new testers.

Requirements for becoming a Supertester

If you would like to become a Supertester, you have to meet the following requirements:

  • You are at least 18 years old
  • You are able to speak and read English
  • You are available to attend Supertests at least three or four times a week for the duration of the entire test session (for two hours or longer)
  • You have at least 100 GB of free hard drive space for test clients
  • You have played at least 5,000 battles, of which at least 500 should be in Tier X vehicles
  • You have close to a 50% overall winrate
  • You have access to Discord (mandatory)
  • You have access to TeamSpeak3 (mandatory)
  • You sign and comply with an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
  • You participate regularly in tests of vehicles, maps, and other changes
  • You are willing to find and report bugs to the quality assurance team.
  • You provide descriptions of your observations, impressions, and opinions via mandatory feedback forms

Should you be eligible and interested, you’ll need to complete an application form that will be shared soon.

Please keep in mind that only a very limited number of players will become Supertesters, which comes with significant responsibilities. If you have any questions about the Supertest requirements or anything related to the Supertest, you can reach out via the Forums and the dedicated Supertest Discord channel (English only).

We are very excited to welcome the Supertest program to the EU server, and it is a fantastic new opportunity to shape the future of World of Tanks. Stay tuned for upcoming news on the Portal where we will share the Supertest application form.

Steel Hunter 2022: Firnulfir Map Video

~ Sebastianul ~ 2 Comments

Video presentation of the newest location.

A new epic map. In addition to the two existing maps — Area 404 and Arzagir 4.04 — we’ve added another impressive location called Firnulfir. Its appearance refers to the harsh Scandinavian landscapes and will be the background for your journey through the snowy and mysterious tundra. Here, battles will take place among small settlements and picturesque, frosty reservoirs. However, it will not be the best place to enjoy the views as you will have to fight to survive until the very last!

— An all-season style inspired by the American national flag.

The national flag of the United States of America consists of seven red equal horizontal stripes alternating with six white ones. They represent the 13 British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1776 and became the first states in the new independent country. The blue rectangle in the canton is called the \”union\” and bears 50 white, five-pointed stars corresponding to the current number of states. The red color in the flag represents courage and valor, blue represents justice, and white is for innocence and purity.

WoWS: Changes to Clan Battles and Brawls — 0.11.3

~ Sebastianul

We’re here to share some info about the changes to the matchmaker for the second stage of this Update’s 9 vs. 9 Brawls and to maps for Clan Battles.

Brawls

On May 9, the second 9 vs. 9 Brawl on Tier X ships will begin in World of Warships.

Because of the high popularity of battleships during the first Brawl, many players faced long waiting times and unbalanced team compositions. Therefore, we have increased the maximum number of battleships per team from 2 to 4 for the second Brawl.

This change will not only decrease the waiting time in the queue before entering battle, but also allow the matchmaker to assemble more balanced teams based on players’ results in Brawls.

In addition, by reducing the limitations of the matchmaker, a team playing in a division will always face either another division or a team consisting of stronger players. This change will reduce the excessive efficiency of divisions in Brawls and increase the percentage of wins against them for most players.

Clan Battles

Based on the feedback on the announcement of the upcoming 17th season of clan battles, we have decided to remove Greece from the list of available maps.

Thank you for your feedback. We will continue to monitor it as well as the results of the battles and make further necessary changes if needed
