• The Hall of Fame and new WTR are at the stage of open beta-testing. These development of these functionalities is still in progress, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Improvements to the stun mechanics

1. Added the total time of caused stun to the Battle Results
2. Improved the mechanics of causing damage and stun through obstacles. Now SPGs will not cause damage through obstacles that are 2 or more meters thick and the vehicle is fully covered. At the same time, explosion wave can somewhat go around corners of obstacles on condition the distance between the point of hit and the obstacle edge is less than 2 meters. However, in this case, the damage from the explosion will be decreased.
