Neue Stimmen

Wir arbeiten weiter am Ton im Spiel. Die Besatzungen italienischer, tschechoslowakischer, polnischer und finnischer Fahrzeuge sprechen nun ihre Muttersprachen. Um die internationale Vielfalt zu genießen, aktivieren Sie die Option „Nationale Besatzung“ (Einstellungen → Andere). Außerdem erhalten nach dem Pz. IV Ankou SP alle anderen Panzer aus dem Animeuniversum von Girls und Panzer wie der VITiger Kuromorimine SP, IVHetzer Kame SP, VIIIS-2 Pravda SP und VIFirefly Saunders SP.

Wirtschaft und Balance

Großartiges Spielen muss belohnt werden. Ab Update 8.5 geben Panzerass-Überlegenheitsabzeichen, Krieger-Medaillen oder Kolobanov-Medaillen in Standard- und Wertungsgefechten mit Fahrzeugen der Stufen VI–X zusätzliche Kreditpunkte. Wir arbeiten weiter an der Kreditpunktewirtschaft, um Fahrzeugforschung und das Erwirtschaften von Kreditpunkten ausgeglichener zu machen. Erhebliche Balance-Änderungen wurden an Panzern der Stufen VI–VIII vorgenommen. Beim Anpassen der Eigenschaften haben wir die Rolle des Fahrzeugs im Gefecht bedacht. Mehr über die Balance- und Wirtschaftsänderungen gibt es auf der Webseite.

Polnische schwere Panzer

Der neue Zweig aus fünf erforschbaren schweren Panzern der Stufen VI–X ist zur europäischen Nation gestoßen! Jeder ist gut bewaffnet, perfekt gepanzert und sehr gefährlich! Diese Polen haben ihr eigenes Verbrauchsmaterial, das neue taktische Möglichkeiten bietet. Neulinge und erfahrene Kommandanten werden gleichermaßen Spaß daran haben, die neuen Schweren ins Gefecht zu führen.

EINZELHEITEN!

Wirtschaftslektion

Wir arbeiten weiter an der Kreditpunktewirtschaft. Dieses Mal betreffen die Änderungen erforschbare Fahrzeuge der Stufen I–VI. Vorher konnte die nötige Anzahl an Gefechten, die zur Forschung und zum Sammeln der Kreditpunkte für den nächsten Panzer nötig war, stark vom Zweig abhängen. Um diese ungleiche Rentabilität etwas anzugleichen, werden ab Update 8.4 einige Panzer etwas mehr verdienen, während andere etwas weniger verdienen. Diese Änderungen betreffen keine Premiumfahrzeuge.

Festtagstarnungen und Neuankünfte

Halloween kommt! Wir gehen „wahrscheinlich“ nicht von Garage zu Garage und fragen nach Verbrauchsmaterial, aber es wäre doch schön, sich zu dieser lustigen Gelegenheit zu verkleiden. Die Tarnungen „Gespenstisches Netz“, „Kürbischaos“, „Kürbisinvasion“, „Schauriger Schwarm“ und „Spinnenfalle“ sind alle wieder verfügbar.     Mit Update 8.4 können Sie wieder die strenge Tarnung „Bollwerk“ für den strengen Jagdpanzer XT110E3 erhalten.

“Enemy is hit!” But where? Which tank part did you damage? From now on, everything will be clearer! Upon a ricochet or non-penetrating hit, as well as upon damaging or destroying a module, you’ll see a corresponding icon and text on the screen. The text color also indicates the extent of the damage: red means the module was knocked out of action, orange shows the module was critically damaged, and white refers to minor damage to the module, as well as non-penetrating hits. If you damaged several modules to different extents with a single shot, the results of the heaviest damage will be shown.

Realism and beauty

Just take a look! Several remarkable graphics improvements make the atmosphere of battles more intense, including improved effects for object destruction, flames, smoke, dust, dynamic shadows, gun recoil, shell hit marks, and tank track traces. And don’t worry. None of these new features affects gameplay or causes dramatic changes to the game’s appearance. If your device can’t pull off any of these effects, you can simply turn them off in the settings.

DETAILS AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS!

The British Tech Tree has grown

Three new Tier VIII–X light tanks are available for research! The impetuous FV301, Vickers Cruiser, and Vickers Light 105 just can’t wait to get in your Garage.

CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES!

Map changes

We’ve made some map improvements! Some bugs and spots where vehicles could get stuck were eliminated while the models of buildings and objects were adjusted. On top of that, we’ve removed unplanned positions on the maps Himmelsdorf, Castilla, Mayan Ruins, Naval Frontier, Winter Malinovka, Copperfield, New Bay, Dynasty’s Pearl, Faust, Hellas, and Normandy.

You’ve got the power!

There’s no reason to hold back! It is now in your power to blow off the turrets of tank destroyers that were unlucky enough to have one! And you can do it in style! Just the way we like it. Making their epic departure from the battlefield are the Helsing, FV215b (183), FV4004 Conway, Charioteer, FV4005, Challenger, T30, T67, and T28 Defender.

Tier X Heavy Tanks Just Got Heavier

The HP for each Tier X heavy tank was increased by 5-20% depending on its characteristics. Now the role of heavy tanks suits their class better as they’ll live longer, block more damage, and act more confidently.

Reworks also affected the characteristics of the VVK 16.02 Leopard, VIIT23E3 and  VIIJagdpanther

• The menu with game nations was shifted to the left.
• Vehicle tiers are now displayed at the bottom.
• The national flag is now shown for researched and purchased vehicles.

Rebalancing

The American XM551 Sheridan and T92E1 missileers turned out to be overpowered. We decreased their damage and penetration values to make these vehicles correspond more to their class and battle role while also making them less effective in head-on combat with heavily armored tanks. In addition, the ATGM shells became less versatile. At the same time, the vehicles’ key features remained the same. Commanders can still rely on speed and maneuverability, striking opponents from the flanks, dealing a significant amount of damage per shot, and firing from behind cover using ATGMs when necessary.

The T54E1 was made faster to help it keep up with its counterparts. We also made the Somua SAu 40 stronger so it can feel more confident in battles against Tier V vehicles.

XXM551 Sheridan

• From 36 to 75 mm for the upper glacis plate and commander’s cupola.
• From 36 to 75 mm for the vision block flaps.
• From 25 to 75 mm for the front shield of both guns’ armor masks.

Consumables

• The Reticle Calibration duration increased from 15 to 20 seconds.

Improvements and Fixed Bugs

They’re Firing Missiles!

Two light tanks were added to the American Tech Tree. Now, the T49 can be researched to the T92E1, which will further lead you to the Tier X XM551 Sheridan. The key feature of these new vehicles are guided missiles. This is a special type of shell marked with a new icon. And you can control their flight! The other two types, APCR and HE shells, work as usual.

Read the Exclusive Consumables for British Heavies article to learn more.

Introduced Balance Changes

Find the full list of balance changes in the Balance Improvements in Update 6.2 article.

The XAMX 50 Foch (155) received a 2-shell magazine gun alternative. The armor of the XSTB-1 was significantly reinforced on all fronts. Some German Tier IX and VIII vehicles now penetrate better.

We slightly weakened the VKV-1‘s armor so that Tier IV–V tanks can stand in opposition to it. The VIKV-2 will now have to aim at the vulnerable spots of its enemies more carefully. The IXFV4004 Conway lost some durability and will fire more sporadically.

Plenty of changes to gun parameters at lower tiers will allow for the damage and rate of fire to increase more logically and gradually upon progressing from tier to tier.

Designed a Vibrant Camouflage

The Topsy-Turvy Rare camouflage was introduced at the cost of 65-750.

Added a New Rule to the Matchmaker

In Update 5.4, we arranged for newcomers to fight against each other at first. Starting from Update 6.2, players that showed extremely low efficiency or that were absolutely ineffective in a string of recently played battles will be matched to such “training” battles. To return to the common queue, they’ll just need to fight a series of battles where they prove beneficial to their team. We expect that this change will lead to a reduction in the number of “turbo leaks” and “turbo victories” so that experienced fighters will meet players with low or zero efficiency more rarely.

New matchmaker rule will be tested on CIS and EU live server within Update 6.2. The rule will apply as long as there are enough players in the matchmaker queue.

Said No to Outdated Devices

Starting from version 6.2, we cease supporting iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPad mini, and iPod touch 5G. You’ll still be able to launch World of Tanks Blitz on these devices, but we cannot guarantee stable performance of the game client.

Crafted Beauty

The Jack-in-the-box effect was added for several Tier VI–VIII tanks.

Shot effects for maximum graphics quality settings were reworked.

Now, the ammo rack explosion is not counted when calculating the costs for repairing destroyed vehicles. That will save you several credits.

Fixed Bugs

An icon in the vehicle carousel now changes upon installing the Claw Legendary camouflage on the  IIISU-76I.

Incorrect display of textures on the VIIIS‘s turret was fixed.

Destroying the VIIIObject 252U is now counted in The Lion of Sinai accumulative medal.

Various screens, notifications, and descriptions were improved.

General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

Sneak Up on Them Unnoticed in Realistic Battles

We have gone down the road of unchecked fun provided to us by Mad Games more than once. The time has come to try something radically different. The Realistic Battle type will be available in the game from June 10 to June 16. What’s special about it:

• Armor penetration zones are not highlighted.
• Penetration and damage do not vary and are always equal to their average values.
• Enemy vehicles are not displayed on the minimap.
• The opponents’ vehicles are visible at any distance unless they are hiding behind obstacles.
• The light bulb never flicks on.
• Markers above the vehicle are displayed while the enemy stays in the aiming circle and three seconds after that. The marker above the enemy vehicle will also be visible for three seconds to all allies if this vehicle has been hit or a quick command to attack was given.
• Icons of consumables and damaged modules are not displayed above enemy tanks.
• In realistic battles, the Enemy Spotted ribbon can’t be acquired.

Blow Off Enemy Turrets Without Remorse

If you set off the ammunition or destroy a tank with a 3% HP or lower, the turret will be epically blown off for almost any Tier I–IV and Tier X vehicle.

The turret will remain attached:

• On all tank destroyers and vehicles with an open cabin
• On other vehicles where it’s illogical due to design features (for example, the M3 Lee)

The blown-off turret can deal damage both to enemy and allied vehicles. The damage will be attributed to neither side. If a blown-off turret finishes off a tank, the battle results will display the Crashed destruction status.

But even if you don’t manage to knock off a tank’s turret, the destruction of the vehicle won’t go unnoticed: we have reworked the animation of a vehicle’s explosion. It is now truly legendary! The new animation is available only at the maximum graphics quality settings.

Try on New Camouflage and Attachments

Hot specialties:

• The Hornet Legendary camouflage for the VIIIT49, available at 1,450. Changes the tank name in battle to T49 Hornet.

Stock Up on Some Warm Clothing

The entire Garage is leaving the cozy forest for the cloudy French coast of 1944. In Normandy, combat doesn’t stop and the foul wind bites to the bone.

Install Cool Avatars

The Victorious avatar is awarded for victories in regular and rating battles, while the Ultimate Destroyer avatar is for Raseiniai Heroes’ Medals. Check out the avatars and conditions for receiving them.

In the Avatars screen, you can follow your victories and medals collecting progress. They are counted from the moment you created your account.

Capitalize on Watching Video Ads

Only for iOS and Android devices.

Experience and credits earned in battle can now be increased by 20% for just watching an ad. And it doesn’t matter whether you won the battle or not. The profitability of every battle can be increased only once.

Anyone playing the game on a mobile device can obtain gold for watching an ad. However, ads that earn gold and ads that increase battle rewards share the same counter. You can increase your income using this trick up to five times a day. The counter is reset at 00:00 (UTC+0).

Congratulate the Spring Season Winners

The Update release wraps up the Spring Season. Note: Season Containers will be available in the Store till June 12.

In the Garage, the flags with the logos of winning clans have been revealed and the Spring Season logos have been removed.

The Spring Season 2019 button in the side menu has been replaced by the link to the Hall of Fame.

Enter Bonus Codes in a New Tab

In the Settings, the General tab has been added, which now contains the Account and Legal Information screens information. Here, you can also find information about the server, learn more about the game, or enter a bonus code.

Stay Abreast of Important Improvements

The highlighting of penetration zones has been reworked and now gives more accurate prompts to the player on the possibility of penetrating a specific zone. The vehicle armor itself hasn’t changed.

Dispersion of armor penetration has been decreased from 15 to 5%. Armor penetration ranges from 100 to 105% upon activation of the Master Gunner skill and 95 to 105% upon the regular shot. The damage spread has remained the same ± 25%.

Certificates for camouflage or an attachment can be exchanged for credits, and avatars can be exchanged for Splinters that can be used to purchase containers with avatars in the Store. Temporary and especially memorable avatars (earned for tournaments, certain game events etc.) cannot be exchanged. Only those certificates that have the Use button next to them in Storage can be exchanged.

We’ve implemented synchronization of favorite vehicles between different devices. To add a vehicle to your favorites, double tap it in the carousel. On Windows-based devices, the same can be done using a double left-click or a single right-click.

The red indicator on the Missions button will now also appear when containers are available for opening (earlier, it only indicated that there were Keys that could be collected).

To the vehicle purchase screen, a timer for temporary certificates for researching has been added.

And on the very top shelf in the Storage, we’ve hidden some Sweet boosters. Let’s come to an agreement: you can’t touch them yet. They are meant for the Birthday!

Balance Improvements

Read the Balance Improvements in Update 5.10 article to see all the stats.

We enhanced the armor of the sides, lower and upper glacis plates, hatches, and commander’s cupolas for many Tier VI heavies so that they feel more confident when opposing Tier VII vehicles on the battlefield.

To simplify module research at lower tiers, we replaced or removed inefficient guns and engines for several vehicles, as well as added missing types of shells or increased their number.

All the shells for replaced or removed guns will be refunded in full.

Camouflage

Check out the Smashing Camo article to thoroughly examine our new warpaints and find out battle names of the vehicles wearing legendary camouflages.

Other Improvements

Previously, an additional menu was displayed upon tapping the battle type selection button. Now, you will see a new screen. You can go back by tapping any free area on the screen or the Back button. Double tap the battle type button to select a battle type and close the screen. (Oh, and beautiful sparks are flying here.)

Let’s spend this spring in the forest! For that purpose, the Garage was moved outside into fresh air:

The battle queue screen was renewed.

The Detailed Overview screen now shows concealment parameters in percentage (while stationary, while moving, and upon firing while stationary). The names of characteristics were updated for autocannons (Burst Reload Time > Reload Time between Shots; Bursts per Magazine > Shots per Magazine; Shells per Burst > Shells per Shot).

We were so desperate to add the concealment parameter in this version that we missed a bug with camouflage. In Update 5.10, the concealment value for some vehicles may be displayed including the camouflage bonus, even if this camo is not installed on the vehicle. We will fix this bug in the next version of the game.

The Appearance tab is now also available on the components panel. It will be blocked for vehicles featuring a unique appearance (for example, T6 Dracula).

The link to the World of Tanks Blitz official server in Discord was added to the Community tab in the side menu.

Screen with Vehicle Characteristics

The vehicle characteristics panel on the Upgrades screen is now divided into two tabs. Brief Characteristics include six parameters: damage, rate of fire, penetration, armor, speed, and rotation. The indication system works like this:

• Yellow shows the current parameter.
• Red and green allow you to see the difference in parameters when switching between modules.
• Light-gray shows the maximum value that can be achieved if you mount all top modules.
• The bar is filled based on the comparison of the selected vehicle’s parameters with the maximum possible values among vehicles of all tiers.

Some old parameters displayed in the Detailed Characteristics tab were renamed (e.g. Armor -> Main Armor). Plenty of new parameters were added: reload time, damage per minute, depression/elevation angles, gun traverse limits to the left / to the right, maximum forward/reverse speed, average speed, power-to-weight ratio, road/ground/water crossing capacity. For autocannons: bursts per magazine, burst reload time, shells in magazine.

Multiple XP Bonus

From April 1 through April 8, you’ll be able to get a multiple bonus for your first victory in a Tier X vehicle. You can use the bonus as many times as the number of Tier X vehicles you have in your Garage.

Spring Season

The Spring Season will be held from March 27 through July 5 and includes the following three types of activities: Professionals Tournament, Ascent Tournaments and Echelon Championships, and Quick Tournaments. Earn Season Coins by fighting in tournaments and rating battles, as well as by watching tournament live streams on our portal.

• 4 rare camouflages were introduced. Their cost varies from 65 to 1,200depending on the vehicle tier.

Changes to Vehicles

The Tech Tree, available modules, and mechanics were reworked for low-tier vehicles.

• Tier I vehicles were removed from the game. They were replaced by more powerful tanks. Players will receive compensation for gold spent on purchasing camouflages for former Tier I vehicles.
• To reduce the speed of the vehicle’s destruction and allow newcomers to survive longer in battle, we removed howitzers and high-capacity magazines for almost all Tier I–IV vehicles. Some vehicles received a decreased rate of fire or damage per shot, while others—more HP or enhanced armor.
• The economy of low-tier vehicles was reworked: the cost of researching modules and vehicles, purchasing vehicles, provisions, consumables, and resupplying camouflage was changed. The profitability of these vehicles was adjusted according to the new prices.
• Please note that the changed modules of low-tier vehicles can also be available for Tier V–VII vehicles. In such cases, the technical characteristics of vehicles, except in top configuration, were also changed.
• Since guns will be removed for many vehicles in this update, the shells for these guns can be deducted from your account with full compensation in credits. After updating your game client to version 5.5, check your ammunition before you enter battle.
• Some researchable vehicles received Collector status and were removed from the Tech Tree. Several Premium tanks were also given Collector status. You can either keep them or sell them for gold.
• For some vehicles in the updated Tech Tree, their vehicle type and tier were changed. Consequently, they now have a different number of available shells, slots for provisions and consumables, a different bonus to concealment provided by applied camouflage, etc.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• We continue to simplify the interface. Removing currency names in the Garage (did anyone even notice this?) and relocating bonus containers were the first steps. In Update 5.4, we rearranged the buttons in the Garage to group all vehicle configuration options in one place. Of course, it will feel unusual at first, but you will forget about the old interface after only a couple of days. Here’s what changed:
• The Crew and Upgrades buttons were moved down and are now located above the vehicle panel next to the Appearance button.
• The boosters button took the place of the Crew button next to the main orange button. Now you will always remember to install them before battle!

• The ping indicator and XP multiplier timer are now located to the right of the “Battle!” button.
• There are more changes to come! Regular game updates allow us to further improve the interface and make necessary changes.

• Now each team can have up to seven heavy or medium tanks, and up to three light tanks or tank destroyers. As before, teams have an equal number of vehicles of the same class.
• Platoons are no longer available in rating battles. This change will allow for faster matchmaking. Rating battles without platoons will become more fair: teams are matched according to their total rating, while platoons with different ratings often resulted in unbalanced teams. Besides this, cunning fellows will no longer be able to enter easier battles by taking advantage of a huge difference in rating when creating platoons.
• A new vehicle type called collector vehicles was introduced to the game.
• These vehicles can neither be found in the Tech Tree nor freely accessed. Collector vehicles can be obtained in in-game events, purchased during special offers in the Store, and received as a gift.
• Similar to the parameters of researchable vehicles, those of collector vehicles may be changed in exceptional cases.
• Vehicles that are currently available in the game can become collector vehicles in the future. For example, when a researchable tank is removed from the Tech Tree.
• Collector vehicles have a blue background in the game.
• Players will be able to sell some of them for gold.
• In Update 5.4, there are two collector vehicles: the Gravedigger and Scavenger. Stay tuned to learn more about them.
• Two Halloween-themed attachments and camouflages were introduced.

• The cost of refreshing a completed mission was reduced from 300 to 100.
• As part of the global change to the initial game experience, newcomers will fight mostly against each other rather than against experienced players.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Ribbons are no longer displayed on the Battle Results screen if they are disabled in the settings.
• The bug, where a ribbon was displayed upon causing damage to or hitting an enemy vehicle that had disappeared from spotting range, was fixed.

• The bug, where an enemy spotted at the map border was still displayed on the minimap after disappearing from spotting range, was fixed.
• The bug, where the time left until the battle end was displayed incorrectly after minimizing and maximizing the game client window, was fixed.
• The bug, where the chat and fire buttons, as well as speed were displayed over the panel with damaged modules in battle, was fixed.
• The bug, where an outline was not displayed around the vehicle that destroyed another player, was fixed.

• Players can now select a battle type after receiving vehicles of Tier V or above.
• The bug, where switching between regular and rating battles worked incorrectly when playing in a platoon, was fixed.

Main Changes and Improvements

• Now you can also open bonus containers from the window with the description of their content.
• The Tasks button in the Garage was renamed Missions. Only combat missions will be displayed here.
• With Update 5.3, after completing the battle tutorial, newcomers will play mixed-type battles for some time. In these battles, bots fight instead of some players. Gradually, the number of players in mixed-type battles will increase, bots will become stronger, and their number will reduce. Thus, mixed-type battles will smoothly change into regular battles.
• The mechanism of adding maps in regular battles was changed:
• Battles on only Tier I vehicles are fought on the Fort Despair map.
• Battles on Tier I–II vehicles are fought on the Fort Despair and Mines maps.
• When entering a battle on Tier II–III vehicles or Tier III–IV vehicles, you can play on the Fort Despair, Mines, or Mirage maps.
• The Black Goldville, Dead Rail, Copperfield, Falls Creek, and Himmelsdorf maps were added to the battles on Tier IV–V vehicles.
• Starting from Tier VI, all maps are available.
• To make battles more diverse, the map selection mechanism was updated. Now, the server stores the last ten maps you fought on and tries to select something new. Since it is not easy to satisfy the demands of all players, you can still get a map from your last ten. But even in this case, the system checks all maps, starting from those you played on most rarely.
• Repairs in training rooms became free.
• Characteristics of the VIIIM4A1 Revalorisé were improved:
• Reload time was decreased from 10.54 to 9.58 s.

• On sensor devices, the work of Auto-aim was fixed in cases when you track one vehicle with your reticle, but the shell flies towards another.

• The alignment of the shell tracer and the gun barrel, which resulted in the incorrect display of shells fired on the move, was removed. On the server, the shot was fired from a certain point, while the game client rendered the tracer later and from another point.  As a result, shells fired on the move seemed to fly through vehicles. Now such situations will become less frequent.

• A bug, where the game client and the server went out of sync when the turret rotated 180° (or close values), was fixed.
• The voiceover, which played at the moment when a shell directly hit the module of the enemy vehicle and penetrated it without causing damage, was changed from “We didn’t penetrate their armor!” to “Enemy is hit!”.

With every consequent shot, the same marker will be displayed, but the damage next to it will get summed up. If the marker type needs to change (for example, the first shot penetrates and the second does not), the previous damage will disappear and a new marker will be displayed. If hits were delivered by different players, they will be displayed next to each other in the appropriate places.
    
    
  • A platoon-mate marker was added to the game. While your platoon-mate is in battle, but outside your field of view, an arrow will show you their position (the size of the marker depends on the distance to your platoon-mate — the closer they are, the bigger the marker).
  • If a player or their platoon-mate deal damage to an enemy, it will be highlighted with the platoon color (orange).
