This Common Test will not be typical, Commanders. Along with the features of Update 1.6.1, you have the opportunity to try out new mechanics which are currently under active development and will be implemented at a later stage. The first Common Test takes you backstage to get a view behind closed doors as the following updates take shape. Hop on board and give us your feedback — your input is crucial as we continue evolving these features!
You’re probably aware of the unique history of the T-34-85 Rudy. In our game, it fights in the ranks of the Soviet Union, but during World War II, this tank was at the disposal of Polish units fighting in the Red Army. The T-34-85 Rudywas widely known thanks to the TV show “Four Tank-men and a Dog,” and it made a significant contribution to Polish culture.
In Update 1.6.1, you can take advantage of the remarkable functionality of multinational vehicles. The first multinational tank is the aforementioned T-34-85 Rudy. Those of you who have this vehicle in the Garage will now have the opportunity to try out this functionality during the Common Test.
1 / 8
Technically, the T-34-85 Rudy is the same tank with identical battle characteristics, but it belongs to a different nation (Poland or the Soviet Union). You can instantly switch between them at any time in your Garage: You only need to move the Polish Crew to it, load ammo, and mount additional equipment (if necessary).
Note: You cannot switch to an alternative version of the tank during battle. The choice of nation is only available in the Garage before you roll out. Your can save your configuration of the tank for another nation (such as Crew and mounted equipment).
This feature offers interesting opportunities, allowing you to boost Crews from different nations and complete battle missions available for each nation with the same tank.
We really want to hear your feedback on multinational vehicles. If you like it, we’ll consider the possibility of introducing more in the future.

Players can change the nation of some Premium vehicles. First of all, we're talking about the well-known captured vehicles, vehicles supplied under Lend-Lease, and representatives of historical and cultural heritage, such as the Polish T-34-85 Rudy.
Feature allows players to complete missions with national restrictions. Upon changing the vehicle's nation, it becomes possible to use the Crews, equipment, and consumables of that nation. A player's configuration of the vehicle for another nation (such as Crew and mounted equipment) can be saved; switching between nations is free. The legendary T-34-85 Rudy is the first multinational vehicle. Its nation can be switched between the Soviet Union and Poland.
