The third iteration of the Sandbox includes the following major changes:
1. Added tier 10 light tanks.
2. Changed the mechanic of firing in SPG’s – reduced the damage of HE projectiles, increased radius of shell splash, stun mechanic, no AP shells for SPG’s, changed some characteristics.
3. Changed the mechanics of consumables – possibility to use consumables multiple times (first aid kits, repair kits, etc.) during the battle.
4. Add alternative sight for SPG’s. For more effective targeting, SPG’s receive an alternative sight which will allow a more comfortable aiming at the target.
5. Front-end changes: Added the aiming circle for SPG’s. Now allied artillery will be able to warn allies about the place where it plans to make a shot.
6. In most battles, number of SPG’s is limited to three in each team (if you have a large number of SPGs in the queue for a battle, there may be up to 5 in each team).
* Please note – penetration mechanics, distribution of shells in the circle and other changes which were on the first iteration are not tested in this iteration – these mechanics are the same as on the live server.
