The test server is online. Test server world of tanks. British Tier VI Excalibur Tank Destroyer
Players coming soon new patch- 9.20, which means a lot of innovations. Traditionally, before the release of a patch, developers run a test server, with which everyone can see and try all the changes without any impact on their own statistics.
The test server is downloaded as a separate client, where, like on your main client, you need to enter the data of the current account, under which you will test the update.
The test version of the game exists so that players can try out the future patch and, if possible, notice all the errors and bugs so that the developers can start fixing them before the patch is released.
How to become a World of Tanks 0.9.20 tester?
Everything is quite simple here - you just need to download the installer of the test client on the official website of the game or from our website (link at the end of the article), wait for the installation and log in under your name.
By the way, every player who got on the test server gets to use 20K gold, 100M Free XP and Silver per account so that everyone can try any tank in the game. After the test server closes, all gold, experience and money will disappear, and the account statistics will remain the same - the test does not affect it at all, it works like a separate game.
What changes will be in the new patch 0.9.20?
The most important update will be a branch of new Swedish tanks: a mixed and full-fledged branch of tank destroyers with unique vehicles at the top tiers. Many Tier VIII pre-tanks will be up-loaded. The rules for three and two calibers will be redone. Eleven tanks will receive new and colorful HD models.

Tank premium account.
Reworked the logic for calculating a controlled bonus to experience for a tank premium. Now additional experience will be credited to the crew according to the same rules as it is credited for a battle:
a) If the checkbox for accelerated crew training is not enabled before the start of the battle (or is absent), then part of the experience goes to the crew, the rest is credited to the vehicle.
b) If the checkbox for accelerated crew training is enabled, then all experience is distributed among the crew.
... The conditions under which the bonus can be applied have been changed (all of the following must be observed):

... Optimization of motion physics settings.

As new information becomes available, this post will be supplemented.
We present the first general test of Update 1.1 with the Second Front personal combat missions campaign, a branch of Polish tanks, new and updated maps, and more.
Personal combat missions: "Second Front"
The long-awaited new campaign of personal combat missions "Second Front" is here. Three combat operations with different mission conditions and three new tanks as the main reward. This campaign will be a formidable challenge, and completing tasks will be richly rewarded.
The "Second Front" will be available to all players. If you haven't completed your first campaign, you can complete both sets of tasks at the same time. After the release of Update 1.1, we plan to gradually open operations: the first will be available immediately, then for those who completed it, the second will appear, and some time after the release, the third.
The Second Front is a new challenge for your playing skills. In the three operations of this campaign, personal combat missions will have different set conditions:
- The first operation: you need to fulfill a certain condition for unlimited amount battles (for example, inflicting 10,000 damage in any number of battles). The tasks are cumulative and will require diligence.
- Second operation: it is necessary to fulfill a certain condition in one battle. Very similar to the tasks from the first campaign: you have to show how cool you can be in one battle.
- The third operation: stability is a sign of skill. You will have to show a consistent result in a series of battles (for example, maintain a certain average damage in ten battles in a row).
In the new campaign of personal combat missions, there are no strict restrictions on vehicle classes. Instead, national associations will appear, on the equipment of which you need to perform tasks - one chain (15 tasks) in an operation for each of them. There are four of them:
- Union: USSR and China.
- Block: Germany and Japan.
- Alliance: USA, UK and Poland.
- Coalition: France, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Italy.
Three completely new vehicles with unique features will be rewarded as part of the Second Front. Here they are:
British Tier VI Tank Destroyer Excalibur
The machine, created in the framework of the British project, known collectively as "Beetles" because of the unusual shape of the body.
You will receive not only these cars, but also other in-game items, as well as a female crew.
You can track the completion of tasks directly in battle using the key Tab or N... This feature will only be available for new missions within the Second Front, but we plan to add this feature to the first campaign as well.

We will tell you more about the Second Front in a separate article.
New Maps
Minsk
The map is at the stage of final optimization and revision. There may be performance issues on this card.
As you know, Minsk is a special city for Wargaming, because the company was founded here. On the map, we recreated the city center of the early 1970s, with some changes to make the gameplay more comfortable. If you have visited Minsk, you will recognize many places immediately. If not, just admire the cityscape and dive into the city's past!
Studzianki
This map is not based on any specific historical site. It was created based on the Battle of Studzianki and combines open spaces and confrontation points. At the location, you will find wide fields, a large amount of vegetation, small village buildings centered around a high church. The central point of the map is a small brick factory, which will become an important strategic point during the battle.
Changes to current maps
Calm
Many positions (including the aircraft carrier and the serpentine road) have been redesigned. The battles on this map will become more fair.
Siegfried Line
The positions of the northern team have been fortified on the map. Many points are reinforced with additional stones. The landscape has also changed.
Mines
The map required rebalancing, as it gave the northern team a significant advantage: the left flank provided them with more convenient and faster access to the central island. Using heatmaps and stats, we have made this location more balanced and fair to the southern team.
Provinces
Now only Tier IV-VII vehicles can fight on this map. With minor modifications to help the southern team, the bulk of the changes is to provide cover from fire in different positions.
Industrial zone
The map has been redesigned in HD quality, and its size has increased from 800x800 to 1000x1000 m.Changes have also been made that will improve game process for all types of equipment. In addition, the eastern part of the map has been completely redesigned.
Before the release of Update 1.1, we will publish a separate article with detailed information about the changes on each map.
Polish tech tree
WITH Polish card Polish tanks will also appear in the game. It's time to get to know new branch Technicians: Ten vehicles are ready for battle!
We decided to add this nation as a sign of respect for the dedication and bravery of the Polish people during the two world wars, when the territory of Poland was at the very center of conflicts.
The branch will start with LT at low levels, continue with LT at medium levels and end heavy tanks on high. Enter the game and test Polish cars in battle!

Test World server of Tanks
While playing World of Tanks, we all repeatedly asked questions about which branch of tanks to download next, which premium tank to buy, what awaits us at the tenth level of this or that development tree, and so on. Even more similar questions arise for newcomers who have just come to tanks. And of course, we have all heard more than once about the test server, which will somehow help us make a choice and answer all questions about pumping and choosing a vehicle. So what is the World of Tanks test server, what are its advantages and how to get to it?
Test Server Overview
So, first of all, it's worth understanding that the test server always opens a few weeks before the release of the game update. This is how developers get great way check new version games for all kinds of flaws, malfunctions, bugs and much more. After all, users playing on the World of Tanks test server may encounter similar performance problems, if any, and write about it on the forum. Thus, a lot of trouble can be avoided when the update is launched on the main World of Tanks servers. In addition, players have the opportunity to get acquainted with a number of upcoming innovations with their own eyes, to try out new elements of the tested version.
However, the players have found another application for the test - this is the opportunity to ride various vehicles, try out premium tanks and decide on a further plan for pumping or buying a particular vehicle.
Why is this possible? Everything is very simple, on the test server, each player is credited with:
20 thousand game gold;
100 Million Free XP
100 million credits.
Thanks to such generous "gifts", you can pump any tank you are interested in in a few minutes and go to battle on it, in order to learn about its advantages and decide whether to go to it on your main account.
As for gold, it is enough for a maximum of two premium tanks of the 8th level, but more often for one, so many create several accounts on the test server in order to try out several cars and choose the only one, which they will then buy on the "basis" and will fill on her game currency and experience.
But remember, anything you purchase on the test server will never go to your main server. account, after all, this is just a way to try the coming update, to determine future goals, to get an idea of a certain type of technology, or to dispel your delusions.
How to download and install a client to play on the World of Tanks test server
First of all, you need to wait for Wargaming to start working on the update. To do this, you only need to go to the official World of Tanks website a few times a day and view the news feed. As soon as the test client opens, the developers will definitely notify the players about this event on the main page of the site, and you can download the client for the game on the general World test of Tanks. This news looks like the one shown in the screenshot below.
