WoT premium account
The logic of adding a managed XP bonus as part of the WoT premium account has been changed. Now additional XP will be awarded to the crew according to the same rules as in the case of combat experience:
- If accelerated crew training is disabled (or not available) before the battle begins, part of the experience will be given to the crew and the rest to the vehicle.
- If accelerated crew training is included, all experience will be distributed among crew members.
The conditions under which the bonus can be used have been changed (all of the following conditions must be met):
- The latest victory in the selected vehicle.
- The vehicle is in the garage (it is not sold, its rental period has not expired, etc.)
- The crew that won the battle is in the vehicle.
- The current status of the Accelerated Crew Training option is the same as before the battle.
maps
- Some balancing changes have been made to the observation position on the Malinovka map: trees have been removed that prevented the northern team from detecting enemy vehicles.

- Motion physics performance has been optimized.
- After a collision with an obstacle, in some cases, it will be easier to regain control over the traffic of a wheeled vehicle.

Interface changes
