Vehicle Customization System
- The interface of the customization system was completely reworked.
- Rental and permanent styles (that completely change the vehicle exterior) can be applied to Tier X vehicles and Tier VIII Premium vehicles. An entire style can be rented; separate customization elements are not available for rental.
- The Rental styles can be rented for a particular number of battles (instead of days). The rental styles are available for vehicles of all tiers.
- Paints can be applied to Tier X vehicles and Tier VIII Premium vehicles. Paints can be applied to 4 or 5 vehicle components (some vehicles do not have gun mantlets).
- Camouflage patterns are now applied to three vehicle parts (for all vehicles). The camouflage stains can be scaled and the base color of some camouflage patterns can be changed. Important: To receive the concealment bonus, apply camouflage at least to the vehicle hull. If no camouflage is applied to the vehicle hull, no concealment bonus is provided.
- The weathering effect (to make your vehicle look from sleek to aged) can be applied to Tier X vehicles and Tier VIII Premium vehicles. Low graphical settings may impede the quality of the effect!
- Both historical and non-historical customization elements are available to players.
- Display of the non-historical customization elements (for other players) can be disabled in the game settings.
Improved display of the team list panel in Grand Battles
- Added the functionality of selecting a priority group (upon a click on it) in the team list panel, in Grand Battle. Upon pressing TAB, the cursor will be automatically displayed: it will be more convenient to view the full list of vehicles by scrolling.
Changes to the Strongholds
- Players who take the Commander, Executive Officer, Personnel Officer positions will be able to take commander’s permissions in the Stronghold battle room from players of any other position in the clan.
