Guide to Public Tests

12/3 The next iteration of 9.13 Public test is now live!  

It's time again for a new World of Tanks Public Test! We're gearing up for the next update by letting everyone sample what we've been working on just before it's wrapped up and ready to go. Not to mention you can help us gather data and feedback in the days leading up to the final update release!

All World of Tanks players are eligible to take part in this Public Test as long as they were registered within the past two weeks. You don't need to be an experienced tester to join in, you just need to be willing to try out as many of the new features as you can, and send us your feedback!

Any new or changed content for the Public Test should be considered not final and subject to change upon final update release.

Featured Changes

  • Brand-new Czech medium tank line
  • New Czech map: Pilson
  • Tank rebalancing

...And more! For the full list of changes, please see the Notes section below.
