What’s New

Soviet Tier X Additions

Earlier this year, the topic making the rounds was the Soviet Tech Tree revision. With the Object 430 moving to Tier IX and the 430U taking the Tier X position and the introduction of the Tier IX Object 257, it left two empty Tier X slots. Now, it’s time for these two new Soviet Tier X tanks to make their debuts:

The Rear-Turreted MT Line — K-91: Leading from the Object 430 Variant II, the K-91 has a small silhouette, boasts sharpshooting accuracy and super shell velocity amongst many others. However, this Tier X has no real armor and doesn’t have great alpha damage.

The HT Mini-Line — Object 277: Following in the footsteps of the T-10, the Object 277 boasts an aggressive nature and great protection combined with higher DPM, alpha, and penetration. But be careful, both the Commander’s hatch and lower armor plate are vulnerable and it doesn’t boast great all-round armor like its other heavy Soviet counterparts.

Object 268 v4 and Object 430 II

As one of the most often talked about topics by you, the community, we are addressing the stats of the Soviet Tier X tank destroyer, the Object 268 Version 4.

Three elements of the tank have been adjusted:

The Gun: We have made adjustments so that the playstyle is not just to peek from the bushes, but is better suited to short- to mid-ranged combat.

The Survivability: A decrease in HP was needed and armor changes mean that lower-tier or tanks with low penetration have a higher chance to do some damage.

The Mobility: We wanted to make sure that the tank destroyer was still mobile but didn’t encroach on the role of a medium.

Also, the Object 430 II has seen some changes to make it a more natural progression from its Tier VIII counterpart, the Object 416, and follows its characteristics, such as high DPM and good mobility.

Revisiting Maps

Guided by your feedback and battle stats, we made a collection of changes to address issues of inconsistency and the sentiment that Fjords and Erlenberg weren’t “fun.” Along with these, level design changes were made to Malinovka and Mountain Pass.

Improved Onboarding Experience

With Update 1.0.2 comes Advanced Training which adds to the current Boot Camp experience. The new set of missions will explain a whole heap of things vital to the game.

In addition to this, there will be a smoother experience for all players with a collection of guides in-game. These will explain key elements of World of Tanks from penetration through to spotting and much more.

Customization for Tiers VI and VIII

We improved the customization system with the latest update. Feedback stated that it was hard to imagine how the vehicle would look in the game when applying paint. The appearance of the new Garage should fix this problem as lighting has been set so the colors appear as they should in battle. We also reworked the interface for the customization menu to streamline the process.
Customization will be available for Tier VI, VIII, and X vehicles.

We hope you enjoy Update 1.0.2! As always, please stop by the forums to share your thoughts.
