Update 2.2: Power Up!

From Mar. 4, 07.30 CET

New crew perks, improved Armor Inspector, fresh events, and spring action.

Crew Rework: New Perks and Improvements

Update 2.2 completes our long-term crew rework, making crew interaction clearer and more flexible and comfortable—without changing the core mechanics you know. 

We're introducing 10 new perks—two for each major qualification. Alongside this, we're adding several quality-of-life improvements (including perk reset for credits without penalty instead of gold) to make crew management faster and more intuitive.

Expanded Neon Dash: New Maps and Obstacles

MARCH 20–22 / MARCH 27–29

The high-speed Neon Dash event is back for two adrenaline-filled weekends, bringing two brand-new neon maps and fresh obstacles. Race against up to 29 other players through a chaotic course packed with hazards, tight turns, and split-second decisions. New obstacles—including lasers and jumping platforms—add even more challenge to every run.

Ares Branch Rebalancing

We're rebalancing the Ares tanks to better align their performance with other vehicles in the game. We've adjusted their damage output across all shell types, increased gun cooling time for some vehicles, and refined armor in certain areas.

These changes aim to reduce their burst potential in close-range engagements while preserving the line's signature mechanic and overall playstyle. Check out the patch notes for exact parameter changes.

WoT Plus: A New Subscription Tier

WoT Plus expands with a new subscription tier designed for the most engaged and avid players. Get 35% more credits and XP with Pro Boost assigned to any researchable or Collectors' vehicle up to Tier X, customize your Service Record screen, and progress through the Battle Pass faster with Battle Pass Plus.

Battle Pass Season XIX

From March 4, 08.00 CET

A new Battle Pass Season is on the horizon! Progress through Stages, collect Tokens, and earn valuable rewards—including spectacular new 3D styles and reward vehicles. You can exchange your Tokens for powerful machines, including the brand-new Saryudathe first Tier IX reward Japanese tank destroyer.

Improved Armor Inspector

The Armor Inspector is becoming a more practical and interactive tool. Improved armor visualization and the ability to select a specific vehicle and its gun and shell type allow you to test armor behavior in realistic combat scenarios. You can also rotate the turret and gun on the vehicle model to examine protection from different angles. 

This makes the Armor Inspector equally useful for learning how to block incoming fire effectively when driving a specific vehicle and for understanding how to penetrate enemy armor and identify weak spots.

Expanded Sound Physics Simulation

Sound physics simulation now covers nearly all Random Battle maps, making battlefield audio more immersive and informative. Sounds react to terrain and obstacles, helping you better locate enemies and allies. 

The system now fully supports autocannon fire, meaning the sound physics simulation now works consistently across all vehicle types in the game.
