    Magnum Turret Released + Giveaway!

    Tankers! You’ve been waiting for it for a while, but now it’s just moments away. The new artillery turret codenamed «Magnum» will be officially released in the game tomorrow. Magnum boasts out-of-control damage, and a range that will allow you to nail down and blast to bits every single one of your cowardly enemies, even if they’re hiding behind a building on the other side of a huge map. There’s no escaping Magnum. Of course, with great power, comes a pretty tough learning curve. You’ll need to learn how to calculate shot angle and speed, using only the parameters from your previous shot as reference. Additionally, the turret does not rotate horizontally, so you will need to use your hull to aim left and right. But the hard times are worth enduring, because no other turret will give you a feeling of omnipotence like Magnum. So make sure you check out the new Magnum artillery turret tomorrow, right after the server restart! By the way. To celebrate Magnum’s release, we’re running a cool giveaway. For full details, check out the official announcement. Also, please note that, instead of the regular restart at 02:00 UTC, we’ll be performing scheduled server maintenance, between 03:00 UTC and 05:00 UTC. We apologize for the inconvenience. For full details on tomorrow’s release, please check out the Patch Notes. ===A couple of preview videos with Artillery=== Video by [member=TS7StudioHD] Video by Video by @Mr_FaBuLouS Videos by [member=TheMakMan] Video by [member=Claudiu]

    Patch Update #449 - Released 16th March 2017

    Tankers! Tomorrow’s server restart at 02:00 UTC will be bringing a significant amount of changes in the game. Here’s what you can expect to see when you log in tomorrow. Changes in M0 equipment All M0 equipment will now become available from the rank of Recruit. Additionally, prices and parameters will be changed slightly. Changes in M0, M1, M2 and M3 hulls and turrets All M0, M1, M2 and M3 hulls and turrets will receive an increasing of damage and protection. However, all M3+ equipment will remain unchanged. Changes in micro-upgrade steps for all M1 hulls and turrets Following the changes in micro-upgrade steps for M0 equipment, we’re applying the same changes to all M1 turrets and hulls, decreasing the number of upgrade steps from 50 to 10. As a result of these changes, the total price for fully micro-upgrading an M1 turret or hull will become half of what it used to be, and will become equal to the stock price of that turret or hull the M2 modification. Speeding up a micro-upgrade step will cost twice the price of that step. However, the aggregate value of steps and speed ups will remain the same. These changes apply only to M1 modifications of all hulls and turrets, and all existing and completed M1 micro-upgrades will be converted to the new system and rounded up. For now, these changes will only apply M0 and M1 equipment. We still have not decided whether these changes will also be extended to M2 and M3 modifications. Rental of Alterations Rental of Alterations will no longer be for real money. Instead, you will be able to rent Alterations for 24 hours for the price of 5000 crystals. Other changes Bulk discounts for buying items of the same type will be removed, and discounts will no longer apply to product kits. Additionally, bonus supplies will be removed from garage kits. So, make sure you log into the game tomorrow after the server restart and check out the changes for yourself. Don’t forget to tell us what you think in the forum! For a full list of changes, please check out the patch notes.

The experimental settings will be in the game from 02:00 UTC on Saturday 11th March, till 02:00 UTC on Monday 13th March. Below, you can see how the parameters will be changed: NOTE: These modified parameters will only apply to regular battles, not PRO Battles.

    Complaint Book

    AS we've explained many, many, many times, we cannot block for IP, because we have a large number of players who LEGITIMATELY play behind IP walls due to restrictions in their country. Believe me, 99% of the suggestions you can come up with, we've already heard a million times and carefully considered.
