[Sandbox] A New Round of Equipment 2.0 Testing Kicks Off June 25

Greetings, Commanders!

We would like to express our deep gratitude to all the players who took part in the first iteration of testing the reworked equipment system on the Sandbox server and shared their feedback. Your contribution to World of Tanks is incredibly valuable!

After the first round, we needed some time to analyze the results, statistics, and suggestions. This test proved to be very informative as it helped us understand how to move in the right direction. Now we’re ready to take the next step. Let’s take a closer look at the changes and revisions featured in the second iteration of testing.

Changes to Slot Categories

After analyzing your feedback, we decided to keep only one category for the first equipment slot for Tier VI–X vehicles. This slot will be assigned depending on the vehicle type. But, as before, it will have one bonus category: Survivability, Firepower, Scouting, or Mobility. Earlier, both slots were determined by the vehicle role, but now, there will be only one slot with a bonus, which will depend on the vehicle type.

For example, heavy tanks will only have one slot for Survivability and light tanks will have one slot for Scouting.

Select an equipment category tab to see more details about the effect and cost of certain equipment. In the equipment description, the first value is the standard effect and the second value is the increased effect (when the equipment and slot categories match).
