Welcome to the Missile Exercise, warriors!

We prepared two new vehicles especially for you. The first vehicle is a modification of the T49 equipped with antitank guided missiles. Yes, you read that right: GUIDED missiles! The second one is the brand-new Tier IX KpfPz 70 tank. It's not a toy. Therefore, we'll start with checking your gunnery skills and only then will we entrust the best commanders with the KpfPz 70. As they say "Train as you fight!"

The game event will take place from August 23 to September 20 and consist of several parts. During the Missile Exercise you will have an opportunity to win containers and the main reward: the enriched Tier IX KpfPz 70 tank.

Every day, from August 23, 12:00 am (GMT), to September 6, 12:00 am (GMT), you will receive Combat Sigils for the first five battles that you win on Tier V to X vehicles in random, rating, or tournament battles:

• The more damage you deal, the more Combat Sigils you get.
• Dealing one point of damage on a Tier X vehicle will bring you one Combat Sigil.
• Since the average damage dealt by Tier V to IX vehicles is lower, we will use multiplying factors. These factors will help decrease the gap between players using high-tier vehicles and those who don't have them. Anyway, a larger number of Combat Sigils can be more easily gained on Tier X vehicles.
• Premium Account and boosters won't affect the number of Combat Sigils.

After you collect 8,000 Combat Sigils, you'll get onto the leaderboard on our website and be able to compete for rewards. The data on the leaderboard will be updated every five minutes. If several players have an equal number of Combat Sigils, the player who earned them earlier will be on top.

After September 6, 12:00 am (GMT), the 1,000 players with the most Combat Sigils will be awarded the enriched Tier IX KpfPz 70 tank with legendary camo, 6 pieces of unlocked equipment, and a slot in the Garage.

Depending on their results, other participants who got onto the leaderboard will receive standard and special containers, which will bring them closer to the grand prize — the Tier IX KpfPz 70.

From August 23, 12:00 am (GMT), to September 6, 12:00 am (GMT), you will receive Orders for completing missions. Completing missions on Tier V to X vehicles will bring you a larger number of Orders compared to Tier I to IV vehicles. Premium Account and boosters won't affect the number of Orders.

You need Orders to complete awarding stages of the game event. This time, the stages are not interrelated, and you can select a desired award: Gold, Free Experience, Spare Parts, various boosters, certificates for a slot, Premium Account, and standard or special containers.



You won't be able to receive Orders after September 6, 12:00 (GMT). The rest of the stages (except two stages in the middle) can only be completed using Gold.

You will temporarily receive a Tier VII vehicle with the unique game mechanics of the T49 ATM for completing the lower part of the middle stage.

You will receive the vehicle with unlocked equipment and a garage slot. The T49 ATM tank will be removed from your Garage after the end of the game event, but you will keep the garage slot used for this tank.





In terms of its characteristics, the tank resembles the T49. The main difference is its gun. It has a longer loading time and fires missiles, which fly directly where you guide them due to the absence of dispersion. Additionally, the Commander of the T49 ATM can correct the trajectory of the missile. While in the air, the missile will follow your reticle that is always located in the center of the screen (don't mistake it for the aiming circle). It looks like this:



These mechanics allow you to fire from behind a hill or around a corner and hit the cabin of an inattentive tank destroyer from above. On the other hand, it your target is located within your visual range, you'll have to track it with your reticle in order to keep the missile along the desired route. As you can see, you'll need to get used to using such an unusual gun.

The T49 ATM is more difficult to master compared to other vehicles, so we recommend that you get it as early as possible and play as many battles as you can on this tank. It may well be that you won't get a second chance.



You can get Standard and Special Containers during Missile Exercise. You can win them on the leaderboard, earn them for Orders, or purchase them in the Store.

Each Container contains random awards (Special Containers contain a larger amount of awards): Premium Tier III to V vehicles, Credits, Gold, boosters, or certificates for Premium Account.

In addition to basic awards, you will always find Charms for the KpfPz 70 in each Container:

• A Standard Container contains from 25 to 5,500 Charms. More frequent amounts are 25, 50, 75, and 150 Charms.
• A Special Container contains from 100 to 5,500 Charms. More frequent amounts are 100, 125, 150, and 250 Charms.

The maximum of 5,500 Charms in a single container has been chosen for a reason. That is the very number of Charms you need to collect to earn the enriched Tier IX KpfPz 70 tank with six pieces of unlocked equipment and a slot in the Garage. Therefore, all containers get you closer to the grand prize!

A 1960s joint project of US and German engineers, also known as the MBT-70. Due to disagreements between the parties, this vehicle was never put to mass production. Later the project was divided into two national programs.

You can get the enriched Tier IX KpfPz 70 tank in two ways: become one of the first thousand players who earned the largest number of Combat Sigils or collect 5,500 Charms.





In the game, the KpfPz 70 inherited the armor of US vehicles: a light hull and a robust turret that allows you to fire from cover exposing only your forehead. The vehicle has an average speed and boasts an effective power-to-weight ratio for a heavy tank. It's equipped with a 152-mm gun. The gun cannot boast a high rate of fire, but it's quite powerful: 560 points of damage in a single shot!

In terms of farming, the KpfPz 70 is not as effective in earning Credits as, for example, the Löwe. At the same time, this tank is not as costly as researchable Tier IX vehicles. The earning performance of the KpfPz 70 is similar to enriched Tier IX vehicles. It allows you to play comfortably, cover your expenses and even earn a little.

This tank comes with a slot in the Garage and unlocked Tier I and II equipment. If you win the KpfPz 70 in the leaderboard (for Combat Sigils), you'll also get the legendary Steel Cavalry camo. Those who earned the KpfPz 70 for Charms will be able to unlock the legendary camouflage for 2,100 of gold before September 20.



See you in the Missile Exercise! We wish you successful battles and bountiful containers!

Update 4.1 is live!

While commanders with their tanks are clashing in the rating battles and the rewards are coming ouf from containers, we’ve prepared the new version of the game. Check below for full details!

• Changes to the graphic interface:
  
  • A new marker type — ray markers — was added to the game. They will be enabled by default for all players after the update. For your convenience, we implemented the ability to switch between the old and new markers from the Settings.
  • Markers showing received/blocked damage from a shot or ramming attack will be added to existing hit markers. Penetration or non-penetration will be displayed after the first shot. With every consequent shot, the same marker will be displayed, but the damage next to it will get summed up. If the marker type needs to change (for example, the first shot penetrates and the second does not), the previous damage will disappear and a new marker will be displayed. If hits were delivered by different players, they will be displayed next to each other in the appropriate places.

• A platoon-mate marker was added to the game. While your platoon-mate is in battle, but outside your field of view, an arrow will show you their position (the size of the marker depends on the distance to your platoon-mate — the closer they are, the bigger the marker).
• If a player or their platoon-mate deal damage to an enemy, it will be highlighted with the platoon color (orange). If another team member hits an enemy that has already been hit by the player or their platoon-mate, the damage inflicted will be highlighted red and won't be summed up with the "orange" damage.
• The list of damaged modules over enemy vehicles will also show injured crew members.
• Missions will be updated:
  
  • The old missions will be replaced with the updated ones after the Update is released.
  • New missions are split into two groups by tiers: Tiers I to IV and Tiers V to X. They can be completed at any of the specified Tiers.

• The following mission types were removed:
  
  • Capture a neutral base in the Supremacy mode.
  • Take away 60 victory points from the enemy team in a battle when playing in the Supremacy mode.
  • Capture at least two bases in a battle in the Supremacy mode.
  • Destroy two enemy light tanks.
  • Spot and keep in your field of view the enemies, upon which your allies inflict 100 points of damage in a battle.
  • Perform a series of two shots, destroying two enemy vehicles in a row.
  • Destroy an enemy by causing their ammo rack to explode.
  • Set an enemy vehicle on fire.
  • Inflict % damage to a Tier % vehicle in a battle.
• The matchmaker for rating battles was improved:
  
  • Maximum 3 tank destroyers can be on each side of the team in Rating Battles.
  • Now the matchmaker will try to sort a player that has just entered the queue with a minimal rating dispersion. The dispersion increases with the waiting time. As a result, we will keep the average waiting time as short as possible, while the maximum waiting time will be less than 3 minutes and average rating dispersion will be approximately two times less than at the current settings.
• New Camouflages were added:
  
  • Two rare Camouflages available for all vehicle types: Missile Arsenal and Missile Salvo.
  • Hammer Blow for FV215b 183. It changes the vehicle name in battle to FV215b 183 Hammer.
  • Tireless Soldier for Т57 Heavy Tank. It changes the tank name in battle to Tireless T57 Heavy.
  • Stalwart Fighter for E 100. It changes the tank name in battle to E-100 Stalwart.
  • Strike Terror for Object 140. It changes the tank name in battle to Object 140 Terror.
• Clan and player profiles were updated. Now you can go directly to the list of past, current, or future tournaments of a clan or player from there.
• Players will be able to send requests to join a team directly from the team profile.
• The HESH-T L-37 shell for the 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7A1 gun installed in the Centurion Mk7/1 and FV4202 was replaced with a Premium HE-shell HESH-T L-37.
  
  • Changed the shell price in Gold (10 Gold).
  • The shell penetration increased to 210 mm.

• Fixed the incorrect display of the tournaments list when switching between them too quickly.
• Fixed an error in the PC version, which sometimes caused a vehicle turret to rotate when waiting for players before the beginning of a battle.
• Fixed an error causing the button for Ticket contribution to be unavailable when viewing the profile of another team.
• Removed an unnecessary line showing the T28 HTC turret protection, because this vehicle does not have a rotating turret.
• Fixed an error that caused the FV215b vehicle to not become highlighted when you aim at the lower part of its turret.
• Improved Ventilation was replaced with Gun Rammer for the M3 Light tank.
• Fixed the collision model of the T110E5 tank.
• Fixed the reticule twitching in the first-person spectator mode.
• Fixed an error causing the countdown timer to sound throughout an entire battle in tournaments and training rooms (after the countdown before a battle).
• Fixed writing off and compensation of the currencies from the Goose Tales event.
• Added the ability to set maximum graphics quality for the iPad Pro 2nd generation.
• Improved various screens, fixed the texts for various notifications and descriptions.
