We’ve got the Update 9.19.1 Common Test kicking off on 22 June at 19:00 CEST (UTC+2), packed full of improvements and new content. You know the drill—read up on the incoming changes, then take it for a test drive, and chime in on the forums to help us see the update through to release.

For this installment, we’ve focused primarily on fine-tuning the core of the game, following the feedback on 9.18.

The update also introduces a new training program for newcomers and 13 tank models reworked in HD. Let’s take a closer look! Continue reading →

Notes from the developers:

Translation by DecoNoir

The purpose of these changes is essentially to make the tank more comfortable to play, and to differentiate the tank from the heavy autoloaders of the tech tree. The change in weaponry will allow the player to fire more confidently, as the increased drum size of six shells will make a single miss or ricochet far less fatal than they had been. The increase in clip size will also come with a shorter intra clip reload, allowing players to put more shells down range in a shorter amount of time.  Continue reading →

In a similar vein to the Japanese heavies, several French machines will also receive a rebalance. First being the AMX 30s, the overall goal being to differentiate them a bit from their counterparts in other tech trees (i.e. Leopard 1).

AMX 30 B & AMX 30 Prototype

• Reinforced turret armor.
• Improved gun soft stats: dispersion on the move, DPM etc.
• Reduced penetration and accuracy.
