What's new in World of Tanks update 0.9.18:

Improved balancer

The new balancer is a template algorithm that selects equal team compositions in the minimum time. First of all, the balancer tries to create a three-level battle using the 3/5/7 template. If it might take too long to assemble commands using this template, the system loosens restrictions to assemble commands faster. Also, due to the composition of the queue, the balancer can create a two-level or one-level battle. Moreover, most battles will be three-level. Thus, you won’t have to wait long for the battle - the balancer will always select the optimal composition of teams based on the current situation on the server. With the new balancer, you will always be facing a team consisting of the same number of cars at the top/middle/bottom of the team list as your team. Moreover, regardless of the chosen template, the number of cars at the bottom of the team list will be greater than the cars in the middle, and they, in turn, will be more numerous than the cars at the top. Simply put, no matter which part of the list your vehicle falls into, there will always be enemy tanks of a similar level for you, which will allow you to have a greater influence on the outcome of the battle.

Expansion of light tank branches to level X

Light tank branches will be expanded to level X and will receive a standard battle level (±2), which will diversify game process on LT and will make it more enjoyable. They will no longer have to suffer: fast, but extremely “fragile” Tier VIII tanks will now play against “ten” tanks, but the number of Tier X tanks will not be significant - “eighth” tanks will easily find opponents that can match their strength. However, that's not all! Having received full-fledged research branches, light tanks turned into independent combat units and received a number of balance changes. They will still play the role of scouts, but will have decent firepower and excellent speed to influence the outcome of the battle when needed. New Tier X light tanks will be faster and more maneuverable than their “brothers” at lower tiers. Stabilization, maneuverability, armor penetration and damage will allow light tanks to perform excellently in combat at short and medium distances. In duels against STs, light tanks of Tier X will be far from being “whipping boys.” Their guns will be only slightly inferior to those of medium tanks, and their armor penetration will be enough to penetrate the side or stern of any enemy. Anyone who does not pay attention to them in battle will make a big mistake.

Changing the game mechanics of self-propelled guns

The new stun mechanic turns self-propelled guns into long-range fire support vehicles: effective team players will be able to reduce combat performance enemy tanks and set the direction of attack, remaining behind the backs of the allies. Having lost the ability to inflict high one-time damage, self-propelled guns will temporarily reduce the mobility, accuracy and reloading speed of enemy vehicles. The duration of the stun can be reduced with anti-fragmentation lining or completely removed with the help of reusable First Aid Kits. After the stun ends, the vehicle's parameters return to normal and the battle can continue. We have also significantly reduced the armor penetration and damage of high-explosive fragmentation shells and completely removed armor-piercing, armor-piercing sub-caliber and cumulative ammunition from the researched self-propelled guns. Now self-propelled guns will deal less damage, but will receive experience for damage inflicted by allies on stunned targets, similar to damage based on intelligence. Thus, shooting at groups of enemy vehicles will be more effective than shooting at single targets. This change, combined with the introduction of a stun mechanic, will force self-propelled gun players to adjust their playstyle and shoot at enemy clusters.

• Added the ability to simultaneously use the office reserve and the reserve of another building.
• The capacity of all buildings has been increased from 10 prepared reserves to 1000.
• Fixed incorrect work chancellery reserve in the event of a repeated combat mission.

Maps and objects

Added new game cards

"Mittengard" (for initial levels of battles) - small map, created specifically for entry-level battles. Starting positions on rocky slopes do not provide any cover, so best tactic there will be a rush to occupy the city streets. There is artillery on both sides of the city cathedral - a breakthrough into this area will be a significant contribution to victory.

“The Lost City” (for team battles) - a symmetrical mixed map with a carefully adjusted balance, created with the participation of leading players, is offered as an arena for eSports competitions. Features of the map include the ability to fight in the center on several levels at once, skirmishing with a small group of enemy tanks while maintaining visual contact with the rest of his forces. The restrained color palette and soft daylighting are designed to provide maximum comfort when playing.

“Winterberg” - the map is completely identical to the well-known “Ruinberg”, differing from it only in the time of year. The circular square in the western part of the city serves as the site of protracted positional battles. Concentric city streets are suitable for gradually breaking through enemy defenses with heavily armored vehicles, and a long radial street will allow you to conduct dagger fire at the enemy. The eastern area of ​​the map is quite open and quite suitable for maneuvers of medium tanks, but only if they control a small settlement in the middle of this zone.

With the release of each update, there is a need to update the client.

Basically, it automatically updates itself, but there are situations when:

The game itself tells you that you need to update the client;
after installing a game update, the client gives an error;
During the client update, additional downloading of updates begins.

Most of the problems that arise with updating the client in a gaming application can be associated with the extensive use of cheating mods. It is they that are downloaded and installed with a large number of viruses that do not allow gamers to play normally in an online game.

Let's look at some ways to update the World of Tanks game client

1. Try to run the file gaming application with a link to the new update. After launch, the client must update itself, so it provides for independent (automatic) updating.

2. In cases involving a manual or selective update method, you must go to the official website of the game application in the “Game” tab, find the released one by date Last update. Select the required file and download it to the World of Tanks installation folder.

The next step is to launch the client and, if necessary, specify the path to the update to the new downloaded update file

3. If the client refuses to start, you need to check for permission to automatically install updates. If there is a ban, the game will not start without updating and rebooting.

4. Sometimes you need to find “Launcher” in the installation folder and launch it. This action will push the braking system to quickly update.

5. The last way to update the client Games World of Tanks and solve problems with the game not starting after an update, you can call it eliminating prohibited modifications.

It is a large number of them that sometimes do not give permission to automatically update the client.

Therefore, it would not be sad for “honest” players, but they will have to remove all prohibited mods and run the client to update. Subsequently, of course, you can download and install all the necessary mod packs again. But again, this is at your own peril and risk, since they are prohibited and in the future they may also be a source of such problems.

You don’t have to touch official mods, they can’t cause any glitches and when you remove cheating mods, others shouldn’t be touched.

Tanks in update 1.3

Return of the T-50-2 tank to World of Tanks

The sensation of update 1.3 will be the return of the legendary Soviet tank T-50-2 to the game. At one time, when the T-50-2 was removed from World of Tanks, this resulted in a large wave of negative reviews for the game creators. But then the developers did not listen to the opinion of the gaming community and removed the tank anyway. And now, a few years later, the tank returns. For now only for the super test.

We are waiting for the "firefly" based in patch 1.4 or 1.5. The likelihood that a tank will be added to level 5 is negligible.

Decals in World of Tanks

The new patch version 1.3 will add large decals to the game for all level 10 vehicles and premium level 8 tanks.
