Get Ready for New Tier XI Vehicles and Rebalance!

[Echo]

Commanders!

Update 2.1.1, arriving in mid-January, will introduce two brand-new Tier XI vehicles—the PTZ-78 and the STK-2—both continuing their existing Tech Tree lines. Each one features a unique mechanic and opens new tactical opportunities across every map. Scroll down for details! 

PTZ-78

The PTZ-78 brings extreme mobility to the TD class thanks to its Sequential Rocket Thrusters. Solid-fuel boosters activate for several seconds, enhancing acceleration, mobility, and maneuverability.  

Thrusters works independently from each other, ensuring sharper hull traverse and quicker turning, and they do not restrict reverse movement. Thrusters can be used multiple times per battle, with a cooldown between activations.

STK-2

The STK-2 enters the battlefield with an evolved version of the existing Gun Cooling mechanic—one that actively works to keep the gun cold and maintain high firing performance. When the gun fires, it begins to heat up, and during reload it automatically cools down, gradually returning to its stronger parameters. 

A fully cooled gun offers exceptional precision for a heavy tank—approaching the level of the most accurate vehicles in the game. The first shot delivers peak accuracy and the second remains very consistent, but as you continue firing, the gun moves through multiple heat stages, each of which progressively reduces accuracy.

Tier XI Rebalance 

Update 2.1.1 also improves several existing Tier XI vehicles to fine-tune their combat performance, including their special abilities. Six machines receive updated stats and enhanced progression paths: 

• Leopard 120 Verbessert 

• AS-XX 40 t 

• Object 432U 

• Hirschkäfer 

• Szakal 

• Strv 107-12 

These changes adjust survivability, mobility, and firepower where needed, ensuring each vehicle fulfills its specialized role more consistently. And there's more: Some vehicles will also receive adjustments not only to their base characteristics but to the performance of their unique Tier XI mechanics through select Upgrade Node changes.
