Equipment converted to HD.

Approximately every two to three months Wargaming releases new patch to World of Tanks. Latest on this moment(September 2014) update 9.2 was released on July 29, 2014. Less than two months have passed since Wargaming prepared a new patch 9.3. Testing of update 9.3 is in full swing. Players of the RU cluster can try out “fresh” light tanks in battle, and also experience the new “punitive system” for themselves. In addition, the update will introduce interesting advantages to premium tanks, and the characteristics of a couple of fun vehicles will deteriorate ( British self-propelled guns FV304, American tank destroyer M18), and the popular KV-1S will be removed from the game. More precisely, this Tier 6 supertank will be divided into 2 tanks, as was once the case with a regular KV. But every time a patch is released, players have to update the game. How to update World of Tanks and do it right?

Strictly speaking, there are two ways to update the World of Tanks game:

• through the game launcher;
• using a special file client.patch.download.

Let's look at both methods and decide how best to update the game.

True, for starters, it’s worth saying that all updates must be downloaded only from the official website of the game http://worldoftanks.ru. By downloading patches from other sites or torrents, you expose your game account the risk of being “hijacked”. A few patches ago, the game was updated in another way: the patch was downloaded as a regular exe file and installed on top of the client. Wargaming abandoned this method of updating, since subsequent conversion game files took a huge amount of time, and after installing the exe, the game client often crashed.

So, if a new patch has been released, you can update the client as follows: launch the game launcher and wait until the files are downloaded.

The launcher will automatically download all the necessary files and install the update.

The volume of updates can reach three gigabytes. So, if you have a slow Internet connection, downloading updates for the game will take longer. In this case, you have a choice: directly download the files of the new patch from the Wargaming server or use a torrent to update.

Another way to update the game client is as follows: you download a special file in the format “patch name_client.patch.download” and copy it to a special folder in the game client. You can get a link to download this file on the game’s official website http://worldoftanks.ru/ru/content/guide/general/frequently_asked_questions/#ways_to_load.

After downloading the client.patch.download file, you need to copy it to the Updates directory, which is located in the path C:/Games/World_of_Tanks. After this, you need to launch the game launcher, and the updates will be automatically installed.

The answer to the question of how to update WoT has been received. There are a few left to remember useful tips. When updating the game client, it is better to disable the firewall and antivirus, as well as all programs that consume the Internet in “unlimited quantities” - torrent clients and downloaders. The fewer programs load the Internet channel, the faster you will update the client. As for the installation time of new updates, it all depends on their volume and the hardware of your computer. Sometimes the installation can take up to half an hour.

What's new in OT 1.6:
1. Added personal reserves to accelerate development on the “Front Line”:
- Within general test a new type of personal reserves has been added that increase the amount of frontline experience for ranks received in battles in the “Frontline” mode.
- Reserve: +100% to frontline experience per battle for 1 hour.
For example, having earned the title “General” in battle, you will receive 2400 frontline experience instead of the base 1200.
There are 3 sets in total:
+100% to frontline experience per battle for 1 hour (1 pc.)
+100% to frontline experience per battle for 1 hour. (3 pcs.)
+100% to frontline experience per battle for 1 hour. (6 pcs.)
Sold for gold, the price in gold is still test.
- Validity period: 1 hour.

2. As part of the general test, it is possible to obtain and test reserves:
- From July 18, the Front Line is available for the general test, which will last until the end of the test.
- For any battle in random battles, one personal reserve for frontline experience is now issued.
- For victory in random battle another personal reserve is issued.
- In the in-game store of the general test client, personal reserves are available for purchase for in-game gold (Store ==> Maintenance ==> Personal reserves).

Tank premium account.

The logic for calculating a controlled bonus to experience for tank premium has been reworked. Now additional experience will be awarded to the crew according to the same rules as it is awarded for a battle:
a) If the accelerated crew training checkbox is not turned on before the start of the battle (or is missing), then part of the experience goes to the crew, the rest is credited to the equipment.
b) If the accelerated crew training checkbox is enabled, then all experience is distributed among the crew.
. The conditions under which the bonus can be applied have been changed (all of the following must be met):
c) Last victorious battle on the selected vehicle.

As received new information This post will be updated.

The World of Tanks developers have a lot of plans for the upcoming 2018. The next one is the release of update 9.22 World of Tanks. The main emphasis in it is on Soviet technology. The PT, ST and TT branches are changing dramatically.

When will update 9.22 be released? World of Tanks?

From the grand event WG FEST 2017 it became known that the next patch update will be 9.22 WoT, and in March 2018 we can expect world of tanks 1.0 (a game with new HD maps).

And also don’t forget to check how well the existing hardware can pull out HD cards; for this, use World of Tanks enCore and test new engine and your computer power.

Release date - updates 1.5

General test of update 9.22

The release of the general test of update 9.22 is scheduled for February 2018.

Due to numerous requests from players, the branch of Soviet tank tanks with a rear wheelhouse will be reworked. Of course, the main prize here is the Object 263 - a powerful and interesting machine, however, the branch itself as a whole is problematic and unplayable. Therefore, the developers have planned the following changes:

• SU-101 and SU-101M1 remain in place, however, they will be modernized.
• SU-122-54 will disappear from the upgradeable branch. This vehicle does not correspond to the logic of the branch's development, having a standard wheelhouse layout, weak armor and a relatively low amount of XP. Due to these design features, the car could not compete on equal terms with most of its classmates.
• Object 263 “moves” to the 9th level.
• Object 268 Option 4 – will be a new top.

Changes are also planned for the medium tank branch. In particular, the game will develop 3 branches with unique gameplay and combat characteristics:

Good news awaits fans of Soviet heavyweights as well. Starting from the KV-13, an additional line will be developed heavy tanks with the turret located aft. Three fundamentally new vehicles will appear here: IS-2Sh, Object 705 and Object 705A.

In many characteristics, these vehicles are reminiscent of the legendary IS-7, but offer fundamentally new gameplay.

New premium tanks

The developers plan to carry out large-scale work on premium tanks with a reduced level of combat. Often beneficiaries are unable to equally oppose their classmates. This is due to the fact that the upgraded equipment is regularly improved, but the characteristics of premium tanks do not change. This problem requires a comprehensive solution, however, it needs to be implemented gradually to avoid imbalance in the game.

Game modes

New ones will be added to the game game modes, which will help make the gameplay more vivid and rich. In addition, changes are expected in the ranked battles that many people like. There will be some rework here game mechanics, which will allow for healthy competition at key stages. In particular:

• Chevrons will be awarded to players of both teams, however, the winners will receive more chevrons.
• The ranking system will be increased, but will retain the general concept of the second season.
• Received ranks will now be retained even after unsuccessful battles, but players will have to defend their current status on the battlefield.
• The duration of the stages will be increased, therefore, you will not have to sit at the computer all day to achieve certain results. This decision is aimed at player efficiency.

What you can expect in update 9.22

In addition to the above changes, other improvements are planned for the game, changes in development branches and much more.

How will coupons be earned?

New options for obtaining alternative game currency are planned. Currently, bonds are awarded for epic rewards and achievements obtained while playing on level 9-10 vehicles. In addition, you can earn currency in the general battle mode and in global map. However, keeping in mind their promises, the developers have planned several additional ways to get hold of bonds, and are considering the possibility of spending them on purchasing equipment and modifying the appearance of cars.

Events

In 2018, new atmospheric events similar to New Year's Offensive and Leviathan Invasion will appear in World of Tanks. A more extensive list of available rewards will be implemented here, including the opportunity to receive bonds for certain achievements. Let us add that in the summer there will be competitions in tank football, which many players liked.

On December 12, update 0.9.12 for WoT is released. Last update This year it's completely ready! Mark this day on your calendar and join us while we talk in detail about the upcoming update.

World of Tanks celebrates the end of 2017 with a redesigned appearance customization system, a new branch of French heavy tanks, as well as long-awaited balance changes for British tank destroyers and new card for general battles. You will definitely have something to do. Now let's get down to business.

What's new?

Reworking of UK tank destroyers

The British branch of tank destroyers with fixed wheelhouses was not popular due to armor vulnerabilities. In update 9.21, we will improve their frontal and side armor, thanks to which they will be able to take their place among assault tank destroyers. These changes should strengthen their role as fire support vehicles that can block damage and grind down the enemy thanks to their high rate of fire.
New British car at level X: .

Not very well suited for the role of an assault vehicle capable of close combat. But this role should have become a distinctive feature of the branch, especially after the rework. To game process British tank destroyer was consistent for the entire branch, we replaced the “bumper” with the FV217 Badger. The newcomer will inherit everything from his predecessors distinctive features, but will have higher firepower and armor, offering a unique gaming experience at level X.

If you have already purchased the FV215b (183), then with the release of update 9.21 you will keep it and will be transferred to the special vehicles category. You'll also get Badger for free.

New heavy tanks of France

The new branch of French heavy tanks will start with the vehicle. Each newcomer will have a choice of two top guns: the first with higher damage per shot, and the second with a higher rate of fire, which will allow players to abandon the “shoot and hide” tactics that were often imposed on the French heavy tank game. But that's not all: the new trinity is distinguished by decent thickness of the frontal armor of the hull and turret. An excellent gun depression angle and a decent margin of safety will allow you to stay alive in the heat of battle, as well as contribute to the team’s victory.
- a tough nut to crack in France.

Start Research new branch heavy tanks of France with AMX M4 mle. 54. It has fairly strong frontal armor and offers a choice of two top guns, which will completely determine your play style. The rapid-fire 120mm gun will make you a real tank destroyer from the second line. Do you like to exchange shots in close combat? Your choice is a 130mm gun with high one-time damage. Choose the weapon that best suits your playing style. And if you get tired of playing with one, just install another.

New map for pitched battles

If you have studied every bush on the Nebelburg map and have repeatedly asked to expand the list of available maps for general battles, version 9.21 will please you with a size of 1.4 by 1.4 km. This new arena was created specifically for the General Battle type of battle, and also features standard and counter battles. This card will transfer tank battles to North America and will immerse you in the atmosphere of stories about the gold rush in Alaska and the Yukon. In the Klondike you will find a densely built mining town, open areas and an abandoned mining settlement. Different types of terrain will provide you with many opportunities for tactical maneuvers for each class of vehicle and will definitely not make you bored. Check out detailed review to find out what awaits you!

New mechanics for changing appearance

As you already know, during 2018 we will rework the mechanics of changing the appearance of vehicles into a more complex system, which will allow you to give your car a unique style. Update 9.21 lays the foundation for this by adding styles and designating areas of the car that you can change yourself. Now you can separately paint the hull, turret, gun, chassis and gun mantlet, choose the size of camouflage and give your vehicle a unique look appearance using various effects.
