9.15.1 Public Test - Test Drive New Features!
It's time again for a new World of Tanks Public Test! This test isn't quite as huge as the massive test we rolled out for 9.15, but it'll give you a chance to test out new sound improvements, additional HD models and general improvements to map effects.
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!
For the full list of changes, please see the Notes section below.
