Launch Three: Tranquility

Once again, a total change in combat modifiers means a total change in gameplay! In the third launch, you’ll immerse yourself in calm and peaceful tranquility. There’s no need to hurry, so take your time when loading shells, and treat non-penetrating shots as a worldly vanity. In a sense, this launch will feel like a return to “the good old WoT” of leisurely-paced gameplay and unhurried battles. Enjoy this little dash of nostalgia!

Battle Modifiers

Low Compression

Engine power has decreased by 30%.

Improper Arrangement

Reload time has increased by 20%.

Cannonball

Penetration has decreased by 20%.

Gear Corrosion

Turret traverse speed has decreased by 30%.

Commanders!

Let's imagine for a moment that the battle characteristics of every vehicle in the game were changed beyond recognition. Now, we’re not just talking about Field Modification with some 3–5% fluctuation up or down—we’re talking about a truly impressive transformation!

For example, what if we doubled the Leopard 1's aiming speed? Or suddenly increased the proximity spotting distance of all vehicles in battle to 445 meters? What would it be like to play with a damage spread of +/–75% of the standard value?

Sound crazy? We know! This is your opportunity to try out something unusual and extraordinary—something that’s never been seen before in regular Random Battles.

Get ready to experience the classic game mechanics from a different perspective with no risk, no pressure, and no strings attached! Starting July 15, we’re launching Arcade Cabinet, a new experimental platform. Battles will take place according to the standard rules but with unusual battle modifiers that change the classic technical characteristics. There will be a total of three launches taking place over the course of several weeks, each with its own unique theme and gameplay.

How to Find Arcade Cabinet

In the Garage, select the Arcade Cabinet mode from the menu to the right of the “Battle!” button. When hovering over the mode button, you’ll see the combat modifiers that will be applied in battle. Check them out and prepare to be surprised!

Launch One: Railgun

The time has come to grab a railgun and show your opponents who's truly the boss as you battle it out in an exciting railgun match! The aiming time, gun dispersion, engine power, and other characteristics of your vehicles will be immediately improved by 50–100%. Even players who are new to the game may suddenly demonstrate impressive skills and Robin Hood-like accuracy!

Moreover, proximity spotting distance will increase to 445 meters. Your opponents will be in plain sight, meaning that all you’ll have to do is track them down and cause accurate damage from afar! This is your opportunity to feel like a sniper.

You may get lucky and destroy an IS-7 with Improved Hardening with a single shot, while someone else may cause pitifully low damage and crawl back to their Garage, hoping to be more fortunate next time. As World of Tanks players like to say, "Skill is skill, but RNG is RNG!"
