We’ve adjusted their damage output across all shell types, increased gun cooling time for some vehicles, and refined armor in certain areas. These changes are aimed at reducing their burst potential in close-range engagements while preserving the line’s signature mechanic and overall playstyle. Check out the patch notes for exact parameter changes. VIEW STATS Battle Pass Season XIX A new Battle Pass Season is on the horizon! Progress through Stages, collect Tokens, and earn valuable rewards—including spectacular new 3D styles and reward vehicles. You can exchange your Tokens for powerful machines, including new additions such as the Saryuda, the first Tier IX reward Japanese tank destroyer. FIND OUT MORE Improved Armor Inspector Armor Inspector becomes a more practical and interactive tool. Improved armor visualization and the ability to select a specific vehicle, its gun, and shell type allow you to test armor behavior in realistic combat scenarios. You can also rotate the turret and gun on the vehicle model to examine protection from different angles. This makes the Armor Inspector equally useful for learning how to effectively tank incoming fire when driving a specific vehicle and for understanding how to penetrate enemy armor and identify weak spots. Sound Physics SimulationSound physics simulation now covers nearly all Random Battle maps, making battlefield audio more immersive and informative. Sounds react to terrain and obstacles, helping you better locate enemies and allies. The system now fully supports autocannon fire, meaning the sound physics simulation now works consistently across all vehicle types in the game. Maneuvers: A New Season Is Coming The clan-only Maneuvers event is returning soon with intense 7v7 Encounter battles at Tier X. The launch is just a few weeks away—now is the perfect time to prepare! Gather your team, fine-tune your strategies, or join a clan to be ready to fight for leaderboard positions and powerful Tier X vehicles such as the XM60 , Object 907 , VK 72.01 (K) , and T95E6.
