Test 9.20 here. New format in Random Battle mode

You can download the new version of World of Tanks through the launcher or via a direct link on the official website. The Super Test will be available for download on September 14th and the first General Test will begin on September 21st.

Release dates for update 9.20.1

As can be seen from the World of Tanks 9.20.1 release schedule, throughout September and the first half of October changes will continue to be tested in a super test, a closed beta test and an open general test in two stages.

Vehicle changes in update 9.20.1

• XM551 Sheridan,
• Rheinmetall Panzerwagen,
• T-100 LT,
• T71, Type 59,
• challenger,
• FV4004 Conway,
• FV4005 Stage II,
• Centurion Mk. I,
• Centurion Mk. 7/1,
• FV4202,
• Caernarvon
• Conqueror.

Also update 9.20.1 will make such changes.

• Several tank models will be converted to HD.
• The mechanism for selecting equipment for creating battles will be reworked. VBR will recruit tanks in a new way.

Replacing FV215b with Super Conqueror

One of the main changes in the update will be the transfer of the Tier 10 British heavy tank FV215b to promotional tanks. Instead, Super Conqueror will appear at level 10 of the British heavy tank branch in World of Tanks 9.20.1. We told you about replacing the FV215b with the Super Conqueror in World of Tanks plans for 2017. As you can see, the plan has been implemented.

Procedure for replacing FV215b with Super Conqueror

Important information: If you already have the FV215b tank in your hangar, then during the release of update 9.20.1 you will have a Super Conqueror tank at level 10, which you will receive completely free of charge.

The crew of the FV215b tank will be dropped off at the barracks and prepared for the Super Conqueror. Camouflage, equipment, equipment, emblems, inscriptions and shells will be moved to the warehouse, where you can use them in the future. Below are the characteristics of the Super Conqueror tank.

Update 9.20 is entering general testing. You will find battles in the “30 vs 30” format, Chinese tank destroyers and vehicle rebalancing - and soon you will find other materials about the changes in version 9.20.

In the meantime, here’s all the latest and most interesting things regarding ranked battles. Read and don’t forget to share your opinions in a special topic on the forum. This will help us configure the update in more detail.

Ranked battles

The first beta season of ranked battles recently ended. We have analyzed all your feedback and want to make changes that should improve the gameplay in the second beta season. These are the ones we will test as part of the general test of update 9.20.

Changes to basic mechanics

One of the most discussed topics on the forum concerned the simplicity of the mode. The basic mechanics of matching players of equal skill worked, but reaching rank five was not a real challenge for experienced tankers.

We tried to fix this by changing the mechanics of obtaining chevrons and ranks. The number of ranks will remain the same, but the number of chevrons required to achieve ranks will change. The distance between ranks will be as follows: 1–3–5–7–9 chevrons. To achieve the first rank you will need only one chevron, and as many as nine will be needed to move from the fourth to the fifth rank.

In addition, the mechanics of vehicle ranks will change. In the second beta season, any rank will cost 5 chevrons.

The mechanics of obtaining chevrons will also change. The 10 best players in terms of experience earn a chevron on the winning team. The remaining 5 winning players, as well as the top 5 players of the losing team, do not earn a chevron. Finally, the remaining 10 players of the losing team lose their chevron.

In this way, we want to push players to interact: despite personal results in ranked battles, victory remains a team achievement. That is why we have expanded the list of players who do not lose their chevron if the team loses. This means that even if the battle goes poorly and the enemy is pushing in all directions, you should not give up. You need to continue to help your allies - your efforts will be rewarded.

Balancer improvements

We found several critical issues related to balance. And here's how we're going to solve them:
- We will improve the balance between teams in terms of the number of medium and heavy tanks.
- We will limit the number of self-propelled guns per team to two units.
- We will add more maps and significantly improve their rotation. Thanks to this, the chances of ending up on the same card all the time will decrease.

Reward

We will also review the mechanics of receiving rewards. From now on, you will no longer have to wait until the end of the season to receive the bulk of the bonds you earn. The value of the rewards will also increase.

Testing stages

Testing of the second beta season of ranked battles will take place during the general test of update 9.20. Join us - the next stage will last until August 9.

Your feedback on changes to the game is very important to us. Leave comments on the forum and share your opinions about ranked battles.

Tankers!

We have preliminary innovations of version 9.20 ready: rebalancing of vehicles, new Chinese tank destroyers and much more.

Please note: the list is not final. We will publish the final information immediately before the update is released.

So, today supertest version 9.20 will become available. The update will take into account your feedback on the stun mechanics and the revision of the research tree, and will also add a 30 vs 30 format to random battles. New Chinese tank destroyers will also appear at the supertest.

The supertest is carried out at the earliest stages of development - usually a month and a half before the update is released - and is designed to test changes, as well as to find critical errors before the open testing stage. Supertests in World of Tanks are divided into technical tests (new maps, vehicle balance, etc.) and version tests (update integrity).

When the supertest stage is completed, general tests begin, where any player can evaluate the changes.

And now more details about all the changes.

Technique rebalance

We will focus on four nations: Japan, France, USA and USSR. There will also be some changes to the German research tree. They will affect the following machines:

Today, details of the upcoming vehicle rebalance are the most discussed topic of update 9.20 on the game forum. Therefore, where we talk about the reasons for the changes, and also answer your questions.

Changes to the self-propelled gun class

Improvements to the self-propelled guns have continued since the release of update 9.18. We have been analyzing your feedback and statistics on changes for several months. And now we will make a number of improvements to make the gameplay more comfortable for both self-propelled gun players and other participants in battles.

The increased scatter radius of fragments led to situations where a player who considered himself safe in cover would still receive damage. To prevent such cases from happening, we have improved the mechanics of calculating damage and stun, adding a number of additional parameters when shooting through obstacles:

• You won’t have to worry about artillery fire if the structure (destructible or non-destructible) that is used for shelter is 2 m or more thick, and your vehicle is completely hidden behind it. There you will be safe: your car will not receive damage and will not be stunned.
• A vehicle standing behind a fence or small building less than 2 m thick will receive damage and be stunned, as happens in open areas.
• Third scenario: the structure is strong (2 m or more), but the car is not completely hidden behind it (for example, the stun occurred at the moment of driving behind cover). In this case, the duration of the stun and damage will depend on which part of the vehicle was fired upon. Depending on the area under fire, the vehicle will receive:
  • 25% of total damage and stun time;
  • 50% of total damage and stun time;
  • 75% of total damage and stun time;
  • 100% total damage and stun time.

We will make changes to the interface of post-battle messages: in order to fully display the player’s combat effectiveness, information about the total time of the stun inflicted will be shown in the battle results.

Chinese tank destroyers

Nine Chinese tank destroyers are already warming up their engines and are ready to show themselves on the battlefield! Yes, we are talking about a technology branch that was released on Chinese servers a few months ago. Now this branch of cars will be available to all players.

We will tell you in detail about each car closer to the release of the update - stay tuned for the news. In the meantime, you can evaluate the characteristics of tank destroyers and find out about the amount of experience and credits required to study them.

New format in Random Battle mode

Want to test your gaming skills in a fight other than 15v15? Well, you will soon have such an opportunity. In update 9.20, a new type of battle will become available in the game called “General Battle” in the “30 vs. 30” format. 60 players will fight on the new Nebelburg map, measuring 1.4 x 1.4 km, created specifically for this type of combat.

“General Battle” is exclusive for Tier X vehicles. This type is based on the standard rules of the game: capture the enemy's base or destroy all of its equipment. The number of self-propelled guns is limited to 4 vehicles per team to ensure comfortable gameplay for all types of equipment. "General Battle" is similar to counter combat and assault - it can be turned on or off in the game settings.

A detailed review of “General Battle” is just around the corner, in which we will talk about all its features. Wait for a separate article closer to the release of update 9.20. Feel free to leave feedback and ask questions!

HD models

And finally, another 12 cars will be converted to HD quality.

Update 9.20.1 is approaching its official release and we are starting a new series of general tests. Participate in testing and evaluate the changes that developers have been working on recently. Here's what will be available on the public test server:

• Rebalance of Tier X light tanks, as well as British and American vehicles.
• Reworked personal combat missions with a new interface and mechanics that allow you to complete them faster.
• Additional rewards for high performance in battle are new ways to obtain bonds.

The changes can be found in detail in recent publications:

How to get to the general test?

Bonuses and medals

From 9.20.1, when winning medals in the “Epic Achievements” and “Battle Hero” categories, the player will receive additional encouragement in the form of bonds. Please note: coupons will not be awarded for cumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and may change.

Improvements for pitched battles

The following changes have been made to the “General Battle” battle type:

1. The message about victory or defeat in battle has changed.
   Added a new type of battle victory or defeat message to make it easier for players to understand when and why a battle ended. The message has separate animations for winning, losing and drawing. Additional text shows why the fight ended. When a battle ends when a base is captured, the capture progress bar goes into a "locked" state shortly before a message appears to indicate that the outcome will not change.
   This innovation has been applied to all random and ranked battles, as well as the general battle.
2. Updated reward tooltips, which describe various conditions for obtaining. In a standard, oncoming battle and assault, the conditions are the same, but in a general battle the requirements are higher.
3. Improved combat interface (HUD) in general battles.
   The background transparency of player list panels has been reduced to make the information easier to read against a light background (sky, water, etc.).
   Boundary markings have been added to the top panel to improve perception.

Improvements for Training Ground mode

Changes:

• Irrelevant options have been disabled in the context menus of vehicle upgrade windows, the research tree, and the vehicle carousel.
• Rewards (credits and experience) for victories and defeats when completing the training ground have been balanced.
• Rewards for completing the training ground are now displayed in the notification center.
• Added a notification to players that they will not receive a reward when completing the training ground again.

Corrections:

• Fixed a bug where some interface elements were displayed incorrectly in color blind mode.
• Fixed errors that occurred when saving and restoring settings (vehicle panel and sights) when the player entered the training range and exited this mode.
• Fixed the rendering of some game hints (unmasking when shooting, the need to return to the capture circle).
• Fixed a rare bug where the “Skip Tutorial” button was not displayed correctly.
• The results of battles in the mode have been removed from the notification center.
• Fixed display of the EULA license window when restarting the game client.
• Descriptions of vehicle characteristics in training ground loading screens are now correct.
• Fixed a bug due to which the music tracks of the battle, Hangar and the final video of the training ground overlapped each other.
• Added reward descriptions to the victory screen.
• Fixed bugs in bot behavior.
• Fixed errors in displaying map boundaries.

• A battle of the “General Battle” type is formed from the general queue of the “Random Battle” mode.
• Only level 10 vehicles can participate in battles of the “General Battle” type.
• Getting into the “General Battle” battle type occurs randomly, similar to other types of battles: “Assault” and “Encounter battle”.

• The composition of each subgroup by type of equipment will be as similar as possible to the composition of a similar subgroup from the opposing team.
• The number of self-propelled guns in this type of battle is limited to 4 units per team.
• The difference in the number of platoons between teams is no more than 2 platoon players.
• If at least one player in a platoon has the “General Battle” battle type enabled, then such a platoon can get into this type of battle, regardless of whether the rest of the platoon members have it checked.

Map:

• In this update, the General Battle takes place only on one map, Nebelburg.
• Map size: 1.4 x 1.4 kilometers.

2. The mechanics of dealing damage and stunning through obstacles have been improved. Now the self-propelled gun will not deal damage through obstacles more than 2 meters thick if the target is completely hidden behind them. In this case, the blast wave may slightly bend around the corners of obstacles. To do this, the distance from the point of impact to the edge of the obstacle must be less than 2 meters, but the damage from the explosion will be reduced.

Corrections have been made for races in hard-to-reach places on the following maps:

1. Karelia
2. Steppes
