TRAINING GROUND
Added a new training mode for beginners and players who want to improve their skills. “Training Grounds” will replace the current Combat Training. The briefing will explain the basic nuances of the game, how to manage the technology, who to fight, how to find areas your tank can penetrate, visibility systems, crew and module management etc. For new players the mode will be available when you first log into the game.
PERSONAL MISSIONS
In this version we have refined some combat missions that had been complicated after the matchmaking changes. Thank you for the feedback, with which we were able to make the necessary changes.
IMPROVEMENTS TO STRONGHOLDS 1.6
Now in Strongholds the Commanding Officer will be able to indicate the direction of movement of forces on the mini-map before the battle begins using the mouse. These notifications will be visible to all players in the room.
IMPROVING MATCHMAKING
- Balance within the same tier. There will now be a reduced chance of imbalance between teams in same tier light tanks, TDs, SPGS, and platoons. For example, a team with a light tank at the top of their team list will be likely to have a light tanks at the top of the opposing team list.
- You can now invite Artillery to platoons (but only one).
- New tank class sorting.
- Improved the artillery aiming system. Previously there was a bug when artillery aimed at the top of ridges or bridges.
- Damage caused by allies when an enemy is stunned with artillery will now count to Marks of Excellence calculation.
- New setting to individually customize feedback on ribbons and logging damage to stunned targets.
- Changed settings with the alternate camera modes. Reduced camera sensitivity.
