Can you feel it? The winds of change are blowing in rating battles! Though, the key things will remain unchanged – you're in for a whole month of fierce battles and mountains of rewards, including gold, camos, avatars, and the Lorraine Fearless. A warm place among the top players might as well become yours!
Please note that rating battles will be fought from March 3 to March 28.
Rating Sprint Event
A special in-game event awaits you from March 10 to March 20! Do your utmost from the very start of rating battles: The higher the League in which you'll burst into Rating Sprint, the faster you'll claim all the prizes! They include unique camos and the cool Rating Indicator attachment. It will change its appearance depending on your League!
T49 Fearless
You still have a chance to claim the Lorraine Fearless throughout the spring! In the summer, it will be replaced with a new tank — T49 Fearless. This fighter isn't just swift and powerful. It's also extremely handsome! Just look at it:
Do you know what the greatest thing about it is? You'll be able to get this new tank in March! It'll be awarded to the 1v1 tournament winners in each region. To participate in the tournament, you should be among the top 28 players of rating battles in March. The tournament will take place on March 30–31. The Grand Finals will be streamed live on our YouTube channel!
Coins
Coins are back to rating battles! You'll receive them each time you win in the Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Leagues. There's no limit! The more times you win, the more Coins you'll get.
For each victory, you'll receive:
5 Coins in the Gold League
7 Coins in the Platinum League
10 Coins in the Diamond League
You can spend Coins on bundles in the Store. Check the Esports tab!
Don't worry if you don't have enough time to spend your Coins. They won't disappear, and they'll stay in your Storage.

Sunlit Middleburg
The map has been visually revamped! More realistic lighting and materials will make your gaming experience even more immersive. The updated Middleburg map features more light and objects, while its gameplay didn't change. Well, only that it's now covered by more trees.
If your device isn't ready for the new Middleburg graphics, you can enable the medium quality option for objects and terrain in the settings. At the same time, the graphics of maps that haven't yet been updated to the new visual quality will remain the same.
Balance Changes
This time, changes affected four branches of different nations: Japanese heavies, French tank destroyers, and German and American medium tanks. Playing these well-known vehicles will now bring you lots of new experiences and emotions. Rebalancing will emphasize the playstyle succession inside branches, fully unfolding it at the highest tier.
Camouflage
New Legendary camos will await owners of two predators: the snowy Irbis for the Leopard 1 and the flaming Colossus for the Löwe.
More than a dozen Legendary and Rare camos, including Moderno for the Controcarro 3 Minotauro, Ammoel for the T57 Heavy Tank, and Hugo for the Caliban, became available in the camo selection menu.
The Grandma's Gift, Starlight Night, and Evergreen camos will no longer be available for purchase.
Improvements and Fixed Bugs
Added Ukrainian localization of the game.
The following tanks, along with their Legendary camos, were updated to the new graphics quality: the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger, the FV4005 and Overkill, the IS-4 and Skilled.
Rewards in daily containers and containers for completing missions were changed. Parts of the certificate for Premium Account will be replaced with a mission for receiving a mastery badge. Complete this mission to get certificates for x3–x5 XP as a reward.
Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
Update 9.7 brings Ukrainian localization to World of Tanks Blitz. This means that you'll be able to select this language in Settings, as well as read news in Ukrainian in the game client and on the portal. The crew will also speak Ukrainian in battle!
You may still see texts in English among Ukrainian news and articles for a while. Translation is time-consuming — please wait a little, we'll soon update everything.
Thank you for staying with us! We'll be happy to speak to you in your native language.
In September, CIS servers were turned off for World of Tanks Steam. All CIS realm players got an opportunity to transfer their accounts to the EU server and continue playing World of Tanks Blitz via Steam.
Since that time, the majority of our active playerbase have used the account transfer opportunity to stay with Wargaming and play on the EU server. However, there remains a large quantity of so-called “inactive accounts”: players who decided to take a break from the game for a while and thus haven’t made a decision about the transfer.
On February 1, 2023, the automatic transfer for such inactive accounts had begun. All inactive accounts previously registered on the CIS realm via Steam will be automatically transferred to the EU server, retaining the progress, vehicles, purchases, gold, statistics etc.
The Lorraine Fearless awaits your orders! From February 5 to February 28, charge into rating battles and don't miss the chance to grab this unique tank! In addition, you'll get gold, a camo, and avatars. There's even a warm place waiting for you among the top ten players...
Renewed Statistics Screen
It'll become more stylish and informative, and your achievements will now look even cooler on here! Check it out in Update 9.7.
