New augment for Thunder added to the updated Ultra Containers — «Hyperspeed shells»
(Note) The shell damage is reduced by 50% but only at close range. The greater the distance, the more damage you deal, up to 400% of regular damage. Shells fly faster, but critical damage is completely removed.
Night themes for the following maps are added to matchmaking format:
Aleksandrovsk
Barda
Bobruisk
Berlin
Brest
Bridges
Chernobyl
Chernushka
Cologne
Cross
Evening theme for the Highland map as default one
Thunder
Critical damage decreased from 615-1230 to 600-1200 HP
(Note) Status effects are now applied to all targets in critical splash radius, not limited to just one opponent. This variant of settings fits the turret better.
Scorpion
Regular damage decreased from 650-1300 to 625-1250
Critical damage increased from 700-1400 to 750-1500
If a target is destroyed, rockets will now be flying to the point where the tank was destroyed
(Note) Rockets will no longer fly towards the sky
Added a camera’s center point to the battle UI. You can disable it in the «Battle» section of the settings
Updated Sandbox Remastered map
Updated the Lobby garage screen to fit the style of the remastered maps
(Note) Moreover, the Lobby garage now works fine on 21:9 monitors. However, if you have an even wider monitor, then, firstly, we envy you, and secondly, we ask you to understand and forgive us as we cannot make the Lobby garage even wider.
You can now see a mirrored reflection of your tank in the garage
(Note) We agree that there is too much unused space in the HTML5’s version of garage. We had an idea of adding some effects (like glow or shadow) to the buttons, but we are afraid that the buttons would no longer be readable. We hope that the mirror floor in the garage is minimalistic enough to make the feeling of emptiness disappear.
Fixed the map theme filter in the PRO-battle creation screen. When changing the filtered theme, the current chosen map is changed to their equivalent in the new theme. If it doesn't exist there, the previous choice is kept.
Fixed the battle mode filter reset in PRO battles, so when you try to create a battle but then cancel the process, DM mode is no longer chosen automatically.
Fixed the problems with ambient music in the PRO battles screen
Volume level of music in the Sign up/Log in screen is reduced to the volume level used for other sounds
Fixed the bug that caused all sound settings to reset if you click on the disable sound button in the Sign up/Log in screen
(Note) Players who often change accounts came across this bug
The following Challenge paints are added to Regular and Ultra containers:
Barricade tape
Red Marks
Target
Tetris
Masquerade
Updated tankoin and crystal packs in the Shop. We haven’t changed the prices of any tankoin or crystal offers; we just changed the quantity per package

Great news: the super novelty is in Early access already this Friday!
Meet the new turret — «Scorpion».
We have already talked about Scorpion in the separate announcement, and many of you have already tried it in the «Arms race» mode battles.
How to get it?
Do you want to be the first to check out the new turret?
During the Early Access period, which will last for the whole summer, Scorpion will only be obtainable from Ultra Containers. Complete special missions or check out the Shop offers to get the updated Ultra Containers.
Module
Once the turret is in the Early access stage, we will also add the corresponding «Vulture» protection module. You will be able to buy this protection against the new turret with crystals in the Garage.
Augments
Do you want to have alternative ways of launching rockets (e.g. horizontally)? Soon we will add augments for the new turret that change the way it works, and you can find the best setup for yourself.
We will let you know about the augments which will be released and the ways to get them in the patch notes.
Lucky owners of the Scorpion turret, share your screenshots in the comments!
