Time to Get a Better Gun

The Upgrades indicator for vehicles with unresearched modules was reworked:
  • The icon of the cheapest unresearched module is now displayed in the Garage with a progress bar instead of the XP amount.
  • Blue shows Combat XP while yellow shows Free XP.
  • When the player has enough Free XP, or a mix of Free XP and Combat XP, to research the module, the bar glows yellow.
  • When a module can be researched using only Combat XP, the bar glows blue.
  • When there's enough XP to research a more expensive module, the icon will be replaced with that module.
A Few Words About Rebalancing
  • The power-to-weight ratio of the SP I C, T71, M41 Bulldog, and AMX 13 75 was increased.
  • The IS-6, IS-6 Fearless, KV-4, and M48 Patton became stronger.
  • The Grille 15's rate of fire was increased and the Foch 155 with a cyclically firing gun became more accurate.
  • The HP, reload time, and average damage of Tier I–IV vehicles were changed in order to narrow the gap in characteristics between Tier IV and Tier V vehicles, making the branch research process more pleasant and consistent.

Improvements and Fixed Bugs
  • Starting from August 1, flags in the Garage will be decorated with the logos of the winning clans of Spring Season.
  • Shell hit marks are now displayed on destroyed tanks and blown-off turrets.
  • HEAT shell hit marks were made bigger.
  • The opportunity to view the corresponding tank and its characteristics was added for certificates and parts of certificates for vehicles. You can earn parts of such certificates (and collect the IS-6 Fearless!) in rating battles, for instance.
  • The game's display was optimized for Android devices with an arch on the display. Now the app is fullscreen.
  • Cases where the amount of credits was displayed incorrectly on the gold-to-credit conversion screen were fixed.
  • The vertical configuration of some vehicles was changed so that it would fit on the Upgrades screen and in the Tech Tree.
  • Cases where the victory points earned in battle were displayed incorrectly in the player's brief profile were fixed.
  • The design of some screens has been updated, while descriptions and notifications have been improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

BECOME A CONQUEROR!
World of Tanks Blitz - april-fx
If we were to describe World of Tanks Blitz in just a few words, we'd say, "intense tank mayhem". Well, strap yourself in, commander, and get ready for a wild ride. We've prepared a brand-new mode for you with fast and furious tank mayhem!

Take part in Skirmish and battle on small, compact maps where you'll always be at the point of the attack! There's not much time to think and plan.. Just act quickly, decisively, and effectively as possible!
Note: Skirmish battles are not included in statistics and won't earn you medals and achievements.
Schedule
You can fight in Skirmish from July 9 to July 14.
CIS: from July 29, 10:00 (MSK) to July 14, 23:00 (MSK)
Europe: from July 9, 10:00 (CEST) to July 14, 23:00 (CEST)
North America: from July 9, 7:00 (PT) / 10:00 (ET) to July 14, 20:00 (PT) / 23:00 (ET)
Asia: from July 9, 10:00 (UTC+8) to July 14, 23:00 (UTC+8)
Skirmish features
In Skirmish, battles are fought inside small zones at familiar locations: Desert Sands, Dead Rail, Yamato Harbor, and Falls Creek. Both teams are concentrated within a small section of the map, making the battle truly intense and fast-paced.

Skirmish battles are held according to Encounter rules. The base is smaller and the capture time is reduced. Act quickly and exert control over the battlefield. Your first successful attack may turn into a victorious base capture!

Each team has five players instead of seven, so knocking out one enemy can give your team a valuable advantage. But the opposite is true as well. Losing an ally will significantly reduce your team's ability. Cover your teammates and try to weaken the enemy as fast as you can!

How to enter Skirmish
To join a Skirmish battle, select it in the menu next to the "Battle!" button.

Skirmish battles are only available for Tier V–X vehicles.
Quick Tournaments
Participate in Quick Tournaments under Skirmish rules!
Dates: July 10 and July 13. Registration for participation starts on the day of the tournament and closes half an hour prior to the end.
Tournaments are held separately for three vehicle categories: Tiers V–VI, VII–VIII, and IX–X.
Battle format: 5 vs 5
Control mode: Mixed
Registration: non-clan
Detailed regulations, the schedule by region, and the reward list for winners can be found in the tournament description in the game client.

World of Tanks Blitz - Amber
In a big way with a bang! This update features both our ideas for improvement and lots of player requests. Thank you for actively and genuinely caring about the game! The new update will delight you with its improved graphics, advanced settings, and even new tanks and effects. There are lots of cool things to see and things to try out!



Realism and beauty
Just take a look! Several remarkable graphics improvements make the atmosphere of battles more intense, including improved effects for object destruction, flames, smoke, dust, dynamic shadows, gun recoil, shell hit marks, and tank track traces. And don't worry. None of these new features affects gameplay or causes dramatic changes to the game's appearance. If your device can't pull off any of these effects, you can simply turn them off in the settings.



The British Tech Tree has grown
Three new Tier VIII–X light tanks are available for research! The impetuous FV301, Vickers Cruiser, and Vickers Light 105 just can't wait to get in your Garage.



Map changes
We've made some map improvements! Some bugs and spots where vehicles could get stuck were eliminated while the models of buildings and objects were adjusted. On top of that, we've removed unplanned positions on the maps Himmelsdorf, Castilla, Mayan Ruins, Naval Frontier, Winter Malinovka, Copperfield, New Bay, Dynasty's Pearl, Faust, Hellas, and Normandy.

You've got the power!
There's no reason to hold back! It is now in your power to blow off the turrets of tank destroyers that were unlucky enough to have one! And you can do it in style! Just the way we like it. Making their epic departure from the battlefield are the Helsing, FV215b (183), FV4004 Conway, Charioteer, FV4005, Challenger, T30, T67, and T28 Defender.

Balance Improvements
Bat.-Châtillon 25 t
  • Dispersion on the move/hull traverse was decreased from 0.12 to 0.1.
  • Engine power was increased from 720 to 745 hp.

STB-1
View range was decreased from 270 to 260 m.

XM551 Sheridan
Engine power was decreased from 650 to 485 hp.
ATGM
  • Flight range was decreased from 450 to 300 m.
  • Turn speed was decreased by 25%.

T92E1
ATGM
  • Flight range was decreased from 450 to 300 m.
  • Turn speed was decreased by 25%.

Improvements and Fixed Bugs
  • The Reticle Calibration and Improved Engine Power Boost consumables were added for the following American tank destroyers: the T25 AT, T28, T95, and T110E3.
  • The Volume setting was divided into two settings: Music Volume and Effects and System Sounds Volume.
  • The Cooldown booster was added to the pre-battle booster panel.
  • The username can now be changed only from the player profile (previously it was also possible from Settings).
  • Improved shooting effects for the E 100 and the VK 90.01 (P).
  • Improved Modules and Defense System standard equipment was replaced with Improved Modules + and Defense System + for the Firefly Saunders SP.
  • For iOS users, the bug where the "Sign in with Apple" window appeared every time players (re)log in to the game was fixed.
  • The bug where push notifications didn't expand for some Android devices was fixed.
  • Cases where item icons were displayed incorrectly in Storage were fixed.
  • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
  • General bugs and client crashes were fixed.

World of Tanks Blitz - Dynasty Crusher
Like a gust of wind, three top-tier scouts blast onto the scene in Update 7.0. They're astonishingly fast and maneuverable while boasting accurate, rapid-firing guns. On top of all that, they're remarkably vigilant. Take a closer look at these newcomers before they rush into battle!



Tier VIII FV301

The FV301's speed alone is worth a long and colorful narration. Let's count the reasons:
  • One: near-instant acceleration to an average speed of 40 km/h, with a maximum speed of 62 km/h
  • Two: confidently maintains speed on irregular terrain, making you just want to forget about the battle and go for a pleasurable drive among the hills and dunes
  • Three: practically doesn't slow down when turning, which makes spinning around clumsy rivals especially fun
  • Four: swerves sharply enough at full speed that you actually dodge shells
  • Five: drives fast, shoots fast
That's right! The top gun reloads in 4.8 seconds and aims really quickly. The damage per minute exceeds 2,300 HP while penetration is enough to punch holes not only in the sides but also in the front of enemy vehicles.

Tier IX Vickers CR

This vehicle might have slightly weaker dynamics and road crossing capacity compared to the FV301, but just check out its top gun! The 245 mm of armor penetration will be the object of envy for many same-tier medium tanks. Thanks to the high penetration, an impressive 350 HP of damage can be dealt every 8 seconds with enviable efficiency.

In the hands of an experienced commander, the Vickers CR can snipe from afar (accuracy permits it) and remain invisible thanks to its huge view range.

Like any true light tank, the Vickers CR has no armor. But the large gun mantlet can confidently withstand shots from even the powerful guns of tank destroyers. This will especially come in handy when you play hull-down from medium or long range. The 10-degree gun depression angle further underscores the soundness of this tactic. Terrain is your best armor!

Tier X Vickers Light

The view range of the Vickers CR may be huge, but the Vickers Light has one that's simply beyond imaginable: 280 meters without upgrades. Add equipment and provisions to the equation, and you'll get 325 whole meters! That means the Vickers Light is ideal for a light tank's main task—reconnaissance.

You probably won't feel this advantage at first, but with every battle in the Vickers Light, you'll have more insight into how far this warrior can see. Make good use of this feature and your team will always know where the enemy's hiding.

The key to success is to learn how to stay where you can see the enemy, but he can't see you. And for you to blaze away at poor, unsuspecting targets!

Just like the Vickers CR, the Vickers Light is equipped with the same 105 mm gun. However, at Tier X, the reloading time decreases to 7.38 seconds without equipment and provisions. The penetration, damage, and accuracy are definitely good enough to use any tactic. Flank the enemy and punch a hole in the sides and the rear with every shot or surprise opponents with well-aimed shots to the front! Rest assured that with this gun, there's nothing you can't do.

Again, while this tank lacks armor, the turret is effective at deflecting shots. Even the mighty Ho-Ri Type III can only pierce the large gun mantlet every other time.

Speaking about dynamics, the Vickers Light is just as nimble, maneuverable, and good at crossing terrain as the Tier VIII FV301. Pick a spot on the map (just make sure you can find your way there) and take it in a matter of seconds. Effortlessly ascend hills, dodge shells, and don't let clumsy heavies or tank destroyers even have a chance to point their guns at you! The quick-turning turret of the Vickers Light will allow you to always keep the enemy in your sights. At the same time, the gun can punch through enemy armor even when shooting at random.

What do these British light tanks have? Unique handling, driving speed, and crossing capacity. Powerful guns that even many heavy tanks will envy. Unprecedented view range, strong mantlets, and a 10-degree gun depression angle. This is everything a British scout needs. Start accumulating experience with the Comet now so that you can research the new branch once Update 7.0 is released!
