Changes in Upgradeable Vehicles in General Test 1.27.1 WOT – Part 1
In the first iteration of the General Test 1.27.1 for World of Tanks (WOT), we have made significant changes to upgradeable vehicles. After extensive deliberation, we decided on the parameters to showcase, ultimately cutting out some changes that were deemed unnecessary. Below, we present the current state of the modified German branch, complete with screenshots.
Key Changes in the German Branch
Notably, the Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. E and Tiger I have lost their turret stock, despite undergoing some modifications. These changes do not align with the other adjustments in the branch.
Overall, we appreciate these changes as they eliminate many unnecessary modules that are quickly bypassed and no longer used. We anticipate similar updates for other game branches.
