Once again, time to see what madness WoT Console brings to the table (it’s nothing too surprising for those of you who’ve been keeping up with the game) except that some actual PC content people have been asking for a few years finally made it’s way in! So lets see what we got:

4.7 Update Sizes

• Xbox 360: 89MB title update + 1.7GB download
• Xbox One: 2.2GB
• PlayStation 4: 2.1GB

• New Mercenary Tech Tree Tanks added! (Four of these Tanks were based on player suggestions!)
  • Keep an eye on the Mercenary Tech Tree for when these Contracts become available:
    • Lawgiver – Contract available now!
    • Spyglass – Contract available now!
    • Longbomb – Contract available now!
    • Ramrod – Coming soon!
    • Centrifuge – Coming soon!
    • Jammer – Coming soon!
    • Hardcase – Coming soon!
• HUD Efficiency Indicator
  • In the HUD, players can show the indicators that display the total amount of:
    • Blocked damage
    • Assist damage
    • Damage dealt
    • Damage dealt will always be displayed but players can toggle on/off the Assist and Blocked damage indicators through the Options Menu.
• Contract buyout option after expiration
  • If a player is unable to complete their signed Contract before it expires, the Contract will now stay available for limited period of time after the expiration to allow the player to buy out the remainder of the Contract.
    • Active Contracts prior to 4.7 won’t have this option. It will only be available to newly available and future Contracts.
    • If the current stage the player is on does not allow for a buyout, they will not have this option.
• Dynamic Loading Screens
  • Loading screens now dynamically show information that’s currently relevant to the player. They can display current active ops, contract progress, as well as information about the map or tank if there’s something special about it.
    • Supported for both HD and SD. SD will only display the most relevant screen, instead of three possible screens.
