Pearl River, a map that was removed from the game in 2015, is returning to Random Battles. This picturesque 1000 x 1000-meter summer location has received a considerable revamp and was inspired by the scenery of Yangshuo county in Southern China and other regions. The reworked Pearl River map offers a wide variety of unique landscapes and diverse, exciting gameplay for different vehicle classes.
The time has come for a comprehensive review of some popular vehicles!
Firstly, we’ve adjusted the characteristics of wheeled vehicles to reduce their influence on gameplay and give slower tanks a better chance against them.
We’ve also tweaked the battle parameters of several popular medium tanks in the Italian and Soviet branches: the Progetto M40 mod. 65 and the Object 430U, as well as their Tier IX predecessors. These changes will correct their performance and, at the same time, preserve their key gameplay features.
Finally, we’ve revised the characteristics of the IS-4, the T110E5, and the E 100, as well as the parameters of some other heavy vehicles, to make them more pronounced. Now they will become more favorable for close combat.
Get ready to take your battle communication to the next level! For a long time, we’ve been improving the existing in-battle communication system to make it simpler and more informative. You'll be able to launch more effective attacks and act more harmoniously with your teammates.
