1.7 List of version changes:

Major changes.
Added the ability to anonymize a player in battle:

A setting is being added to the game client that will allow any player to hide his game name during the battle. This setting is applied in Random Battle (including Assault, Meeting Battle and General Battle), on the Front Line, in Ranked Battles, as well as in some temporary modes and seasonal events. The setting does not apply in Training battles, on the Global Map, in Sorts and Offensives, as well as in tournament games.
. For all participants in the battle (except for your platoon members), a player with the activated setting will be displayed as an unknown player, that is:
a) the real game name will be automatically replaced with a created name, which changes every battle;
b) if the player is a member of a clan, then the clan tag and clan emblem are hidden;
c) as a result, during the battle it becomes impossible to obtain additional information about the player;
d) the anonymizer does not affect the display of badges;
. Players of a platoon formed both in the Hangar and during battle will only see the real names of each member of the formation.
. A player who uses this setting continues to see his real name, but can also recognize a replacement.
. The real names of the players can be found out after the end of the battle from the post-battle statistics window.

Please note that this setting cannot be used to violate the Game Rules and will not affect the technical capabilities of moderation. A player who hides his name and violates the Rules will not be able to escape responsibility.

Other:
. Fixed the 3D style icon “Basalt” (Burnout - EN ver.) for the Object 907 tank.
. The system for dealing damage from falling tanks from high and medium heights has been fixed.
. The client has been adapted to the new mechanics of double-barreled guns on tanks. An animation has been added to the gun in the client, other hints have been added, and a new performance characteristics parameter has been added in the “Firepower” section - Volley time.
. In the Control Settings, section “Shooting”, a new option has been added: Fire a salvo, you can assign a separate key to it.
* Fire a salvo - Volley, a key that, when pressed, activates salvo fire. If the same button is assigned to a single shot and multiple salvo fire, then a single shot will be fired when this button is pressed.

Interface and other changes

The “Game in Ladder” mode has been removed from the client; Players will be able to view their statistics in this mode on the Achievements tab.
In the graphics settings window, the “Mode” and “Window Size” settings were swapped, and for the “Window (no frame)” mode, the ability to select the resolution was added, which may be useful for streamers with a single monitor.
Automatic selection of the correct display aspect ratio has been implemented, so the corresponding item has been removed from the graphics settings menu.
Added the ability to compare tanks taking into account the skills of the crew, installed equipment and equipment, selected ammunition and camouflage.
Added a new way to connect game mods, in which all the content of each mod is packaged in one file.

The following changes have been made to interface elements:

Combat Efficiency Ribbons:
- Added the ability to display two or more ribbons for the same event in battle. For example, when damaging two vehicles with one shot (or damaging two different vehicles with different shots in a very short period of time), not one tape will be displayed with the amount of damage and the name of the vehicle (the last one to which the damage was dealt), but two different tapes with display of damage to each vehicle. This logic will be implemented for all combat effectiveness tapes.
- If the enemy is destroyed, the player does not need to see a tape with the number of “crit” modules of the destroyed vehicle (after the “Destroyed” tape). In this case, the “Critical Hit” feed will be disabled.
- Added a new “Fall Damage” tape (when inflicting terrain/physics damage on an enemy). This event will be displayed separately in the detailed damage log. This feed will also be added to the menu with the ability to customize the display.
Damage direction indicators:
- The graphic materials of the damage direction indicators have been changed to relieve the load on the combat interface.
- Added a setting that will allow you to enable/disable the display of a dynamic damage indicator (changing the width of the indicator depending on the amount of damage received/blocked). By default, the setting will be disabled; indicators of the same size will be displayed in battle.
- Indicator timings have been changed and animation has been added.
Additional information has been added to the settings, explaining the principles of some feedback settings in combat.
Added information about taking damage or critical damage:
- into ribbons;
- in detailed log.
Damage or critical damage received from an ally will also be recorded in the feed and in a detailed log. The color of the ribbon and detailed log message will be the same for both damage received from an enemy and damage received from an ally (red for damage, orange for critical damage).
The projectile type has been added to the detailed log. Premium shells will be highlighted in gold. The player will not be able to optionally enable/disable the indication that the projectile was “golden” in the settings. The type of projectile is not added to ribbons and fire indicators. The projectile type is only displayed in detailed log messages for the following cases:
- taking damage from a shot;
- receiving critical damage;
- receiving damage blocked by armor.
Updated detailed log settings:
- Added a setting for displaying the damage block: damage received, critical damage and damage blocked by armor.
- Added a setting for moving the display of the damage block to a new location: displaying damage received, critical damage and damage blocked by armor to the right of the own team lists.
The fonts of all damage log feeds have been improved.
The fonts and backgrounds of detailed log messages have been improved.
The texts of the damage log settings window have been improved.
When all summary indicators of a detailed log are disabled, the log itself can be displayed to the player (in versions 9.16 and 9.17, when all three summary indicators were disabled, the detailed log was forced to be hidden).
When a vehicle is hit by rapid-fire guns, tapes and detailed log messages will display the total amount of the series of shots.

The mechanism for placing members of one platoon when loading a battle has been improved: teammates are placed on the map as close as possible based on the capabilities of the map and the number of platoons.
The mechanism for switching the camera in the “observer” mode and in the “after death” mode has been improved:
- tanks of platoon mates are displayed first;
- then in turn according to their location in the command list.
The appearance of tooltips has been changed.
Added the numerical impact of current bonuses on the main performance characteristics in the tooltip.
The interface visualizes the effect of the Stereo Tube and Camouflage Network on the main performance characteristics.
The format for displaying armor penetration and damage with a basic projectile has been changed from range to average values in the Hangar, in the vehicle preview. You can find out the range values of these performance characteristics in the tooltip.
Added indication of the base projectile in the tooltip.
Implemented a comparison of the performance characteristics of shells in the tooltip in relation to the base shell.
Improved tank carousel filters in the Hangar:
- Text search by tank name has been added to filtering.
- Added the ability to switch the appearance of the “carousel” directly into filtering.
- Additional statistics have been added to the vehicle slot: the percentage of victories on the selected vehicle in random battles, class badges and “Masters”. Displayed when hovering over a vehicle slot and can be disabled in the settings.
- Added setting for displaying a two-level “carousel”: adjustable and minimalistic.
Improved mission informer and mission window interfaces:
- Added educational task informers for new players.
- Added notifications about new combat missions in the mission window.
Components of irrelevant crew bonuses (“zeros”) are removed from the customization interface.

"Fortified areas"

Battles for the Stronghold have been replaced with a new format called “Offensive”. This is still a series of battles in a “tug-of-war” format with three lines for defense, but with a number of significant differences:
- There are no more looting of the Fortified Area; if a clan is defeated, it does not lose anything, and the winner’s earnings depend on the level of his own Fortified Area.
- There is no longer any need to defend the Fortified Area 6 days a week. Battles in the mode are carried out only at will.
- Battles in the mode start at a fixed time, the opponent for the attack is selected automatically from those available in the queue.
The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the mandatory defense of the Fortified Area led to significant changes in the economy of the regime. As a result, the Office, which is currently mainly used by “top” clans that have earned their authority in battle, would become available to a significantly larger number of clans, which could lead to an imbalance in the economy of the game as a whole.
To replace the advantages of the Chancellery, a competition system is being introduced - “War Games”, where clans participating in sorties and offensives will be able to compete for prizes in several categories. Prize winners will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other rewards.
IMPORTANT: War Games will start some time after update 9.17.1.
The battle room, both in sorties and in offensives, can be opened for legionnaires who can join your squad (as in team or company battles).
A list of open battle rooms will be available to everyone in a special interface.

Sound improvements

Expanded functionality and support for sound mods (original project with structures, remapping capabilities, documentation, compilation of an unlimited number of sounds, etc.).

Other changes

The list of female and male names and surnames of some nations has been expanded.
The “Show simplified performance characteristics in the Hangar” setting has been removed.
The problem with the Kolobanov medal not being awarded based on the results of the battle has been fixed.
Fixed an issue with incorrect calculation of damage based on intelligence data when fired at the moment of detection.
The list of Personal Reserves available for purchase in the game client has been updated.

The VK 100.01 (P) tank has been added to Tier VIII. The tank can be opened after Tiger (P).
The Mäuschen tank has been added to Tier IX. The tank can be opened after VK 100.01 (P).
Maus moved to a new branch of heavy tanks: it is upgraded after VK 100.01 (P) and Mäuschen. Moreover, all experience earned on VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, remains on it and is not transferred anywhere.
The Pz.Kpfw tank has been added to level X. VII. The tank can be opened after VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B.

The next update to World of Tanks should be expected in the second half of February 2017. And as it became known, there will be an interim patch of update 9.17.1. In theory, there should be a next patch, but alas, no.

Release date for update 9.17.1 World of Tanks

General test of update 9.17.1

According to the release date, it is planned to launch a general test at the very beginning of February, namely February 2, 2017, unless of course any difficulties arise. This test will become available to the general public, and major errors will be identified in update 9.17.1.

Update 9.17.1 overview

Supertest 9.17.1

General test 9.17.1 is available for download!Download supertest 9.17.1

We expect Supertest 9.17 in early February, we suggest you familiarize yourself with all the important changes in brief, for a more detailed acquaintance with the characteristics, we suggest following the following:

- adding ;

— changes in the performance characteristics or, more precisely, the UP mobility of medium tanks of the British research branch;

— changes in the “Fortified Area” mode;

— changes in performance characteristics of American tank destroyers; increase in movement speed;

— adding high-explosive shells to Japanese heavy tanks;

— booking changes or, more precisely, UP — MAUSA in the update;

List of changes in update 9.17.1 World of Tanks

New branch of mouse (MAUS)

Level

10		MAUS

It is known for sure that the changes will affect the German research branch and will be added. The values of most German heavy tanks will be improved, see below.

Update 0.9.17.1 is approaching and drastic changes will affect several German development branches that are currently not relevant for players.

What changes will the German branch of World of Tanks tanks receive?

Branch changesMaus

Now the Maus tank branch will split into another TT-10 – Pz.Kpfw – will appear in the German top. VII, which will be a logical continuation of the Tiger (P) branch - VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A – VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B. Thus, sneakers will not leave the game, but will become an independent branch in the top with a vehicle that is similar in concept to previous tanks.

Pz.Kpfw. VII is the already well-known “lion slipper”, which was given to players for participating in battles on the Global Map. With entry into the German TT development branch, it will noticeably improve its characteristics: it will become much more effective in dealing damage and will acquire truly monolithic armor in the front of the hull. As for the branch to Maus, it will now look like this: Tiger (P) - new tank VK 100.01 (P) - Mäuschen - MAUS. The two hundred ton monster itself will also receive an upgrade that will allow it to fire and tank more effectively.

How Pz.Kpfw tanks. VII

At the moment, VK 72.01 is a Tier X super-heavy tank, which is awarded to players for impressive successes in battles on the Global Map. In terms of characteristics, the “lion slipper” is very similar to its pumpable brother, the E-100, but has a rear-mounted turret.

However, its speed significantly exceeds the E-100 - the “slipper” reaches 40 km/h. Among the disadvantages, the tank has rather weak side armor and a small ammunition load - 24 rounds.

The tank will change its name and become the crown of a new branch of German TT. Now Pz.Kpfw. VII will also receive a small app. The base armor penetration will increase to 246 mm, the DMP and accuracy will slightly increase, the ammunition load will also increase to 35 shells. But the most important thing is that the “lion slipper” will receive much more impressive frontal armor, which will allow it to fight off all calibers in the game.

Before we talk about the E-100 in our game, let's dig a little into history. The project to create a super-heavy E-series tank appeared among German designers in the early 40s of the 20th century, when the country was already waging a war against the USSR and the countries of the Allied bloc.

German designers planned to create a super-armored tank that could carry huge ammunition for long-term confrontation with enemy tanks.

However, Germany was never able to implement the E-series due to the enormous costs of combat operations and simply due to lack of time. In 1945, Germany was completely defeated, and the Panzerkampfwagen E-100 remained only in the drawings.

In World of Tanks, the E-100 is located at level X and a small upgrade awaits it in update 0.9.17.1. In general, nothing fundamentally new will happen to the tank, only the base armor penetration of the 15 cm gun will increase. It was 235 mm, but will become 246 mm. This upgrade will allow the E-100 to use expensive cumulative projectiles much less frequently.

Maus in the sandbox

German designers got excited about building an incredibly armored tank under the modest name Maus in 1942, when luck was still with the Wehrmacht forces.

The construction of the tank was undertaken by Ferdinard Porsche and by 1944 he had already presented Hitler with a couple of working options that had not yet received weapons. Hitler was forced to abandon further development, since the front required enormous funds.

In our game, Maus is located at Tier X and has the strongest armor among all TTs in the game. Of the poles, one can also note the largest margin of safety and good weapons.

The main disadvantage of the “mouse” has always been its very poor mobility, which makes the tank a tempting target for artillery.

In patch 0.9.17.1 Maus will receive the long-awaited upgrade. First of all, the DPM will increase significantly - if previously the basic reload of a gun reached almost 15 seconds, it will become less than 12 seconds, the accuracy and aiming time will also become much better. The stabilization of the gun will improve, but most importantly, the thickness of the frontal armor of the turret will become even thicker - 260 mm, whereas it was 240 mm. Now the “mouse” will take a hit much better and only the “gold” will be able to overcome the forehead of the tower.

Game on Panther II - 7 kills

As for the Panther II medium tank, the most important change in patch 0.9.17.1 will be the ability to install a fundamentally new gun, which will have the same average damage - 240 units, but with much better armor penetration - 223 mm. Also, the “panther” will be converted to HD, which will result in a change in its armor.
