Commanders!

The holiday season is a time of surprises. And what holiday treats do fellow Commanders enjoy the most? Brand-new vehicles, of course! This year’s Large Boxes will feature three formidable Tier VIII Premium tanks, each with its own unique advantages, so you can find a cool tank that best fits your individual playstyle. These vehicles will be available for the first time in the game, and they can all be yours! Let’s take a look at each tank and its gameplay.


This is a Premium representative of the brand-new Yoh branch in the American Tech Tree. If you missed the Developer Diaries announcement about the brand new Yoh mechanics, check it out here.

The M-IV-Y heavy tank is a classic front-line brawler with a well-armored turret and a comfortable, high-penetrating 105 mm gun with 360 HP of alpha damage. It also features short aiming time, low gun dispersion, and high accuracy.

Its hull resembles that of the T110E5, but its turret is something different—it’s oscillating, cylindrical, and features a protective "skirt" that’s not a screen! The turret’s armor is up to 279 mm thick in the frontal projection and 241 mm on the sides, so your opponents will have a hard time trying to penetrate it. The weak point is the commander’s cupola, which is rather large, but not easy to hit from a distance.



[expand type=details]













[/expand]
The M-IV-Y’s gun has great elevation and depression angles (–10/20 degrees), allowing it to take advantage of terrain irregularities on any map. Thanks to the short aiming time, you can roll out into a firing position, fire a shot, and quickly pop back into cover. While the enemy is aiming at your commander's cupola, you will already be back in position. Even if the opponent shoots, your tough turret will be able to block most of the shots.

The M-IV-Y is moderately maneuverable but has a good top forward (45 km/h) and backward (18 km/h) speed for a heavy. The armor penetration value of the M-IV-Y’s standard AP shell is 220 mm, while the penetration of the special APCR shell is 251 mm.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[/expand]
Finally, like other high-tier vehicles of the Yoh branch, this Premium features a unique mechanic, namely, a pair of smaller reserve tracks in addition to the main ones. If the main set of tracks is broken—one or even both—the vehicle won’t stop and can continue to move, but at a reduced speed. If you lose another track, the speed will be reduced further. But the tank can still turn or move forward or backward. To immobilize the M-IV-Y, you need to destroy at least one reserve track in addition to the main one.

Repairing tracks also has its nuances. The reserve track is repaired first. As soon as this is done, the repair of the main track begins. The vehicle can move at this point, but a penalty is added to the repair time. If the tank remains stationary, there will be no penalty. A Repair Kit will repair all tracks at once.


This unusual British Tier VIII heavy tank features a 2-shell autoreloading system and a menacing 152.4 mm gun that fires HE shells as standard, dealing 850 HP of alpha damage with 180 mm of penetration. The Caliban’s special AP rounds cause less damage (600 HP) but have a higher penetration value (292 mm). However, the Caliban is primarily a tank for HE-based gameplay.



[expand type=details]













[/expand]
The reload time between shells is only 3.75 seconds, so this tank will be a real menace in close-range combat, no matter what shells you fire. But for big alpha, you have to pay with poor accuracy, and massive reloading and aiming times. When firing this gun, you’ll need to aim carefully and seize your moment to hit the opponent. But once you get used to this gun and catch the enemy at the right time, you'll be dealing maximum damage time and time again.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[/expand]
Considering its firepower characteristics, the Caliban performs best on the front line or from the second line of fire, trading HP at a high rate. Its gun depression reaches –10 degrees and can take full advantage of hilly terrain. The thickness of its frontal turret armor is up to 250 mm, but in battle, the Caliban is better off relying on its destructive firepower.

The tank has a top speed of 33 km/h, so you’ll be able to take key positions at the same time as other heavy tanks. This speed can be further improved with equipment to make the Caliban faster and more maneuverable.


This versatile Swedish heavy tank features a turret of an unusual design. It is narrow, rectangular, and has no vulnerable hatches. Its armor thickness in the frontal projection is up to 280 mm, so there’s almost no point in targeting it. Hitting this turret is not easy, and it’s even more difficult to penetrate, so don’t waste your time—try to flank the vehicle instead.



[expand type=details]













[/expand]
The Bofors Tornvagn is the epitome of classic heavy tank gameplay and has everything you need to succeed on the battlefield. It is armed with a 120 mm gun with 400 HP of alpha damage. Its standard APCR shell penetrates 248 mm, while the special APCR shell penetrates 297 mm! This is one of the best penetration values for the special round, giving you confidence in any situation on the battlefield.

In addition, the Bofors Tornvagn has a short aiming time, as well as great gun depression and elevation angles (–10/20 degrees). It will fight decently in the hills and on other irregular terrain—simply go hull down, expose your incredibly solid turret, and you will triumph in any duel.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[expand type=details]



[/expand]
Its forward speed is nothing special, but is easy to maintain. It has no obvious weaknesses and easily realizes its high combat potential thanks to its comfortable, well-balanced gun and decent armor. You can calmly make your way to the front line, fire a shot from the hills, and then pop back into cover to reload. This simple yet effective tactic will allow you to stay constantly in the heat of battle and terrorize your opponents.

We're sure you’ll love playing in these vehicles, Commanders! See you on the battlefield!

This release focuses on improving the performance of the game as well as smoothening out some gameplay features to balance the game.

• Damage System now considers Armor Resistances, Magic Resistances and Weather Effects.
  
• Equipment Gear now provide appropriate Resistances.
  
• Added an Injured System.

• The overhead damage now follows the intended type casing.
  
• Duke and Holy Dragon now have new animations.
  
• The unit scales down to 85% of its original size when incapacitated to avoid centering and visual overflow issues.
  
• The Duke now uses a new model and textures.

• Flank Damage (Side and Behind) now apply correctly.
  
• The player can now not cancel the moves/actions performed by the enemy AI units.

We will be posting patch notes on Steam for use by beta testers. While the game is not live to the public yet, excited fans of the game can read the notes to check up on the game's progress.

The Beta 1.4 patch has arrived. With tons of new features, improvements and fixes, there’s something for everyone. Dig in!

NEW!

• Added Apartment Portal. The Client has generously provided you with a piece of tech that will allow you to return to your apartment at a fixed point in time so you can hoard loot. The stash chest in the apartment is shared between all characters. If you find Soulbane, Blade of Untold Agonies, and you use ranged weapons, toss it in the stash for another character! The apartment will gain additional features as development continues.
  
• Added ChimeraLinq. The official social media app of Chimera and aspiring influencers everywhere. Will you climb the social strata of Chimera or sow division in the company?
  
• Added Pet Accessories. Pets are non-combat entities with useful benefits.
  
• Added Totally Fungible Tokens. TFTs can be sold for credits and successive drops increase in value as your collection grows.
  
• Added Kickstarter Backer Rewards. Chompy & Mini Vendorbot are exclusive for Kickstarter supporters, but all players can find similar items through play. Happy hunting!
  
• Added Basic Inventory Sort. By popular demand, sort your loot by Type, Rarity or Value.

Key Changes

• Items that are new to your inventory are now highlighted until inspected.
  
• Weapon sets are now stored in the player menu and are no longer returned to the inventory when swapping sets.
  
• Dodge now gives you (and enemies) a chance that incoming ranged attacks will only graze, reducing damage taken. Dodge Reduction reduces graze chance.
  
• When using a ranged weapon, the range to the target is now displayed on the tooltip as Close, Medium, or Long range. If your weapons have a modifier for that range, it is also displayed.
  
• Special ammo, grenades, and mines now increase in power with your level and have updated tooltips. Older versions of these items will automatically convert to the new type, but may retain older naming conventions (eg. Mk III) until combined with a new version.
  
• Chems now scale with player level, have improved effects and tooltips.
  
• The map menu now has both UI movement buttons and hotkeys. Thanks Ninjab33z!
  
• Vendors now have a separate tab for item Buy Back and have decided to allow you to move inventory items & add them to the action bar while interacting with a vendor. Vendors will keep items sold to them for a while before disposing of them.
  
• Unbroken doors that have been opened and can be closed again now highlight the cursor when mousing over their frame.
  
• Some enemies will now attempt to avoid hazards they can see, depending on their type, intelligence, and general bravado.
  
• Removed hidden hotkey for Feedback tool. Feedback can be accessed from the System Menu at any time.
  
• Removed Energy damage dealing x2 damage to Shields. Currently, no enemies have Shields, so this would only disadvantage players.
  
• Cleaned up the apartment (you might have friends coming over) and tidied up the tutorial.
  
• Pet Slime now logs stat gains from Xenobiologist ooze jars.

Key Fixes

• Fixed map & flashlight hotkey being active during an event.
  
• Fixed Slime Phials appearing as dice when in inventory.
  
• Fixed an issue with Wrangler armor meshes not disappearing when collected.
  
• Fixed an issue allowing enemies to attempt to hide inside of bonus contract crates.
  
• Fixed an issue with abilities that target items (Mod It Better, Integrate, Reaper Rounds, etc) from locking interaction with the item if the player cancels the ability use.
  
• Fixed an issue causing camera traps to highlight the cursor incorrectly even though out of range to interact. A future update will allow “disarming” of camera traps with a ranged weapon.
  
• Fixed Loot Hunter Lucky Find causing container items with locked rarities (such as Ammo) to change their rarity incorrectly.
  
• Fixed an issue with items dropping from Maglock safes to be disconnected from the map.
  
• Fixed UI scaling truncating presets on character creation menu.
  
• Fixed an issue where keypad nums would fail when used as hotkeys.
  
• Fixed skill tier previews failing to show ability cooldowns.
  
• Mobs that are stunned / unaware when attacked should no longer forget to draw their weapons before entering combat.

Known Issues

• Bonus Contracts Crates may now always clean up their minimap markers on contract completion. They will clear after a save is loaded.
  
• Pets catching up to player may teleport into occupied spaces.

Coming Soon (in no particular order)

• Floor 4 : Production
  
• Skill Tree Improvements : ability changes and balancing + new abilities
