Update 2.3: Warming Up

From June 2, 13:00 (UTC)

Improved matchmaking, beloved events, and more!

Fauteur: Balance Improvements

The Fauteur, a Tier XI French heavy tank, is receiving a set of targeted improvements. These changes affect both its unique special ability and base parameters. Now you can use its high-powered firing mode with greater confidence. Check out the exact stat changes in the Patch Notes.

Matchmaker Updates: Improvements and What's Next

Since sharing our plans in March, we've been closely following your feedback—and now we're ready to roll out several of the announced improvements. Starting with Update 2.3, the matchmaker will feature:

  • Reduced number of two-tiers-above battles for Tier VII–IX vehicles
  • Artillery limits—no more than two SPGs per team
  • Platoon balancing by tier—Platoons are matched with others of the same tier.
  • Fewer non-15x15 battles

Our goal is simple: make every battle feel fair, balanced, diverse, and comfortable. Work on the matchmaker continues. In this Update, we'll keep testing new features. Check out the link below for more details.

Arcade Cabinet: Equalize!

JUNE 12–15 / JUNE 19–22

The fan-favorite Equalize! mode returns for two special weekends this June. Mix vehicles of Tier I and Tier X in one battle and enjoy rebalanced parameters that level the playing field. Lower-tier vehicles receive boosted characteristics, allowing them to compete with higher-tier machines and shine in unexpected ways.

Jump in, experiment, and have fun!
