Become a strategist: a major update of World of Tanks

The most famous multiplayer tank battle simulator has been updated to version 1.16.1. For now, most of the changes are in open beta. But many of the details of the patch are already known: they include redesigned maps, modes, graphic elements and exchange mechanics. In other words, the employees of Wargaming.net intend to thoroughly transform the game.

The first thing worth discussing are the modes. The "Front Line", available as part of the Battle Pass, is back in the action. This format of battles, where you have to break through the defensive lines in turns, greatly improved, reducing the time to capture the lines, changing the mechanics of the reserves and even the topography of the maps. Using the "Kraftwerk" location as an example, the developers showed the added and removed details of the terrain, including rocks, paths, bushes and buildings. The second important mode is designed as an event. We are talking about "The Art of Strategy", where one player, using artificial intelligence, controls seven tanks, and seven gamers fight against him.

Of the changes in World of Tanks version 1.16.1 worthy of attention a new outline of enemy vehicles. Now impenetrable obstacles will be painted with solid color, partially penetrable - with a dotted background (at the same time, such shelters will still be able to fully stop the cumulative charges), and completely transparent to shells objects like haystacks will not be painted at all. Also representatives of Wargaming.net noted refinement of the interface and mechanics of the Trade-in (exchange platform). Beta test already available - you can take part in it for those players who have created accounts in World of Tanks prior to March 13, 2022.
