This logic will be implemented for all combat effectiveness ribbons.
      • If the enemy is destroyed, the player does not need to see the tape with the number of "critical" modules of the destroyed vehicle (after the "Destroyed" tape). The display of the "Critical Hit" tape will be disabled in this case.

The player will not be able to enable / disable the indication that the projectile was "gold" in the settings at will. The projectile type is not added to the belts and fire indicators. The projectile type is displayed only in verbose log messages for the following cases:
      • taking damage with a shot;
      • getting critical damage;
      • taking damage blocked by armor.
    • Updated detailed log settings:
      • Added setting for displaying damage block: damage received, critical damage and damage blocked by armor.

      • the first are the tanks of the co-platoons;
      • further in turn according to the location in the command list.
    • Modified appearance tooltips.
    • Added numerical influence valid bonuses on the main performance characteristics in the tooltip.

    • Implemented performance comparison projectiles in the tooltip in relation to the basic projectile.
    • Improved tank carousel filters in the Garage:
      • Added text search by tank name to filtering.
      • Added the ability to switch the appearance of the "carousel" directly to filtering.
      • Added additional statistics to the vehicle slot: the percentage of victories on the selected vehicle in random battles, badges of excellence and “Masters”. It is displayed on aiming at a vehicle slot and is disabled in the settings.

    "Strongholds"

    • Battles for Stronghold replaced with new format called "Offensive". This is still a series of battles in the "tug of war" format with three lines for defense, but with a number of significant differences:
      • There is no more plundering of the Stronghold, in case of defeat the clan does not lose anything, and the winner's earnings depend on the level of his own Stronghold.
      • It is no longer necessary to defend the Stronghold 6 days a week. Battles in the mode are conducted only at will.
      • Battles in the mode start at a fixed time, the opponent for the offensive is selected automatically from those available in the queue.
    • The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the obligatory defense of the Stronghold led to significant changes in the economy of the regime. As a result, the Office, which on this moment Mainly used by "top" clans that have earned their authority in battle, it would become available to a significantly larger number of clans, which could lead to an imbalance in the game's economy as a whole.
    • To replace the advantages of the Chancellery, a competition system is introduced - "War Games", where clans participating in sorties and offensives will be able to compete for top places in several nominations. Winners of the top places will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other awards.
    • IMPORTANT: War Games will start some time after update 9.17.1.
    • The battle room, both in sorties and offensives, can be opened for legionnaires who can join your squad (as in team or company battles).

It's time to update the game, choose a combat vehicle and personally check all the changes in battle. We hope you discover a lot of interesting things. Ready? Let's go then!

    Click on the pictures for more details.

    Germany research tree

    To improve the competitiveness of the German research tree with other nations, we made significant changes to its structure, as well as added several completely new heavy tanks. We've also made some balance adjustments to improve the playability of medium and some premium cars.

    IMPORTANT: Two completely new heavy tanks will appear in the revamped Germany Tech Tree: VK100.01P (Tier VIII) and Mäuschen (Tier IX). If players have already researched the Maus heavy tank, they will be credited as researched.

    Now, after researching the Tier IX VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, another newcomer is waiting for players - Pz.Kpfw. Vii. Its appearance will in no way affect the experience earned on the VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, all experience earned will remain on this tank.

    The equipment of the Maus tank will also remain unchanged: all equipment, camouflage, emblems and crew members will remain in their rightful places.
    Japan and USA research trees

    In addition to the German Tech Tree, Update 9.17.1 also introduced a number of changes to Japanese heavy tanks and American Tier X tank destroyers. In the new version, players will surely notice that researching top Japanese heavy tanks has become a little easier and much more interesting. At the same time, the American T28, T28 Prototype and T95 tank destroyers will receive a well-deserved speed boost.

    Fortifications

    The fortifications were created as a massive clan regime for a wide audience. However, over time, it became clear that pumping the Stronghold above level 4 turned out to be overly demanding for most clans. In this regard, the "Battles for the Stronghold" mode has been replaced with a new one called "Offensive". In the new regime, you do not need to defend your Stronghold every day, and in case of defeat, the clan will not lose anything.

    The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the obligatory defense of the Stronghold led to significant changes in the economy of the regime. As a result, the Office, which at the moment is mainly used by the "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 game's economy 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 nominations. Winners of the top places will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other awards. The launch schedule for the new fortified areas will be published at a later date.

    Changes to vehicle characteristics

    Based on feedback from the gaming community, we have made changes to the characteristics of two premium tanks that will undoubtedly become a profitable investment for your capital: the T-34-85M and the FV4202. The changes also affected such vehicles as the T110E5, Grille 15, Centurion Mk and Centurion Mk. 7/1.

    Simplified characteristics block

    In update 9.17.1, the block of simplified characteristics will display information about bonuses received when using equipment activated in battle. In addition, players will be able to see information about the default type of projectile, as well as its characteristics in comparison with other projectiles.

    Comparison of technique

    The changes also affected the technique comparison block. In version 9.17.1, more indicators will be available for comparison: installed equipment, skills and abilities of crew members, equipment and camouflage.

    Detailed Damage Panel

    A detailed damage received panel has been added to the combat interface, which displays information about critical hits received, as well as the type of vehicles and projectiles that were used to inflict damage. The panel will also display ribbons with the amount of damage done, types of shells, critical damage, the name and type of vehicles that caused damage to your vehicle. All this will provide more useful information and will give a chance to deliver a worthy rebuff to the offenders. We removed the simultaneous display of multiple feeds. Now, players can customize the width of dynamic indicators of damage taken, which will depend on the amount of blocked or received damage. Together, these changes will allow players to better understand the situation on the battlefield.

    Platoon spawn system

    The main goal of the platoons is to play together with friends. But in cases where the platoon members are scattered all over the map at the beginning of the battle, one can hardly speak of a high-quality team game. In Update 9.17.1, we fixed this and added efficient logic that will allow platoon members to appear in one place.

    Improvements user interface

    We have improved the vehicle search block and added a search function by vehicle name. In the new update, right in the Garage, on the vehicle panel, players will be able to study additional statistics, including the "Master" badges, the percentage of victories, as well as distinctive marks earned on a particular vehicle. Finally, we have redesigned the interface for personal and daily combat missions, which will allow players to quickly and easily get all the information they need about new and ongoing combat missions.

    Sounds

    In update 9.17.1, we open access to editing the sound files of the game. Using third-party voices or selected sound sets, you can hear exactly what you need in the game. Of course, this will be useful for modders and those who wanted to bring something of their own to the game.

    The next World of Tanks update will be 9.17.1 (yes, it's not 9.18). This is an intermediate patch, but important and small in content. In it we will see such long-awaited ups of some pumped samples, etc.

    When will the 9.17.1 update

    Patch 9.17.1 WOT RU is officially coming out next week 22 Feb 2017, or rather on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday (February 21-22) 💓

    All dates were available a month ago.

    Thanks to information from a source within the Wargaming company, we found out when the 9.17.1 update will be released in the game World of Tanks. Moreover, we have access to the full schedule of tasks for the release of all stages of testing the patch. We will continue to follow the changes and update the news.

    What's new in update 9.17.1

    Let's take a look at some of the changes in the 9.17.1 update and what new ones might be added in this patch or carried over to the next.

    Please note: This patch notes for 9.17.1 are not final. Full list will be published just before the release of the update.

    The 9.17.1 Supertest is just around the corner, which will showcase various improvements to a number of game elements, and we are ready to tell you about them in detail. In the update, players will be able to appreciate the improved display of technical characteristics, an expanded damage log, changes to the soundtrack, new elements in the vehicle comparison section, as well as a significant rework of the research tree. Some changes have also been made to the "Strongholds" mode.

    Below is a list of changes where you can get detailed information... We launch the supertest at the early stages of development: as a rule, a month and a half before the release of the version. During the implementation period, we check the changes of the new update and identify the most critical problems before starting open testing... World of Tanks supertests are divided into several stages: project testing (new maps, vehicle balance, etc.) and version testing (set of update elements).

    After the supertest, general tests begin, in which all players can take part.

    Research tree changes

    As noted earlier, we are planning to make a number of changes to the research tree to better match the current version of the game. The 9.17.1 update will simplify the transition to exploration last levels technology, in particular technology from Germany, Japan and the United States. Also some balance issues will be fixed and new vehicles added.

    Full list:

    • Germany

    The Mouse will have logical predecessors - the VK 100.01 (P) and Mäuschen, very similar in gameplay and role on the battlefield, which will replace the VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A and VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B. at levels VIII and IX. These will be large, heavily armored tanks with mediocre mobility, but good weapons and excellent armor. "Mouse" is waiting for a significant acceleration of reloading, an increase in the comfort of the gun and an increase in the frontal part of the armor.

    In order not to exclude the "sneakers" (VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A and VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B) from the game, we will transfer them to new branch and put on level X a car that suits their style of play. In terms of gameplay, it will be similar to VK 72.01 (K), which could be obtained as a prize on the Global Map.
    As a result of the revision of the vehicle branches, some characteristics of German heavy tanks will change. In turn, some of the medium tanks of this nation will also be improved. We will publish a full list of balance edits shortly - stay tuned!

    • Japan

    Top "Japanese" Type 4 and Type 5 Heavy are rarely seen on the battlefield. With the current settings of performance characteristics, they simply do not have enough power and firepower to give back.

    On the other hand, Japanese Tier V-VIII heavy vehicles have very effective high-explosive shells. To make the evolution of vehicles smoother and more logical, while preserving the unique feature of the branch, we will give high-explosive shells and guns to top vehicles.

    The "Americans" T28, T28 Prototype and T95 are no longer sufficient in their current gun characteristics and armor to be effective on the battlefield. They lack speed, and we plan to significantly increase it.

    Vehicle balance changes

    We have carefully analyzed combat statistics and made a number of changes to improve the combat characteristics of some tanks. This measure will allow them to confidently resist high-level techniques and will have a positive effect on the game balance:

    • T110E5

    The T110E5 commander's cupola was almost impossible to penetrate with standard shells, except for a small weak spot. We have changed the armor parameters of the turret and equalized the thickness of the armor. The turret is still well protected, but can now be pierced with standard shells.

    • Grille 15

    The engine power, backward speed, and gun depression angles have been changed so that the Grille 15 can better serve as a tank destroyer. By reducing the damage per minute value, Grille 15 is now comparable in efficiency to other vehicles of its tier.

    • T-34-85M

    We have changed the parameters of the gun and armor penetration of the T-34-85M in order to improve the efficiency of the vehicle. After balance adjustments, the tank turned into a less mobile, but more protected analogue of the T-34-85.

    • Centurion Mk. I and Centurion Mk. 7/1

    Both Centurions have become more mobile. The parameters of their guns were also improved in order to secure the place of these vehicles in the ranks of medium tanks.

    • FV4202

    We increased the top speed of the FV 4202 to match the speed of the Centurions.

    Damage bar improvements

    We continue to add useful elements to the game that were previously available to players in third-party modifications. In this version, the damage received panel will be added to the combat interface. It will display tapes showing various events: the amount of damage received, the type of shells, critical hits, as well as the name and type of equipment that caused damage to your vehicle. At the same time, we will remove ribbons that were of little use: ribbons of recurring events and messages in the damage panel will now only display the total amount of damage caused by a burst of shots.
    Finally, in version 9.17.1 we will add a new setting that will allow you to adjust the width of the dynamic damage indicators, which show the amount of damage taken and blocked by your vehicle. These changes will make it easier to assess the ever-changing combat situation and allow you to quickly change your playstyle.

    Comparison of technique

    We've reviewed your requests to expand the list of parameters for technique comparison and added new parameters to version 9.17.1. Now players will be able to add to the comparison various equipment, skills and abilities of the crew, equipment and camouflage.

    Changes to the "simplified" performance characteristics

    In the game you have to choose from more than 450 pieces of equipment, so it is very important to provide the most complete information about each vehicle. This applies to both already purchased vehicles and vehicles that the player plans to research and purchase. In update 9.17.1, we are introducing the display of simplified characteristics, which will give the player much more information when learning a technique. Equipment activated in battle and also affecting the combat characteristics of the vehicle (for example, Stereo Pipe and Camouflage Net) will be displayed in the usual way. In addition, the player will see the values ​​of bonuses from the installation of certain equipment.

    Also, by popular demand, we have replaced the ranges of values ​​for "damage with a basic shell" and "penetration with a basic shell" with average values ​​for each parameter. They will be displayed in the Garage and in the vehicle preview mode. The current ranges of values ​​will still be displayed in tooltips.

    Finally, more information will be available to players when choosing the types of projectiles. The default projectile type will be marked in the tooltip when you hover the mouse over it, and you can examine its characteristics (in comparison with other types) exactly in the tooltip, which will greatly facilitate the selection of the most optimal ammunition for battle.

    Fortifications

    The format of battles for the Stronghold will be replaced with a new one called "Offensive". This is still a series of tug-of-war with three lines of defense, but with a number of significant differences:

    • There is no more plundering of the Stronghold, in case of defeat the clan does not lose anything, and the winner's earnings depend on the level of his own Stronghold.
    • It is no longer necessary to defend the Stronghold 6 days a week. Battles in the mode are conducted only at will.
    • Battles start at a fixed time, the opponent for the offensive is selected automatically from those available in the queue.

    The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the obligatory defense of the Stronghold significantly changed the economy of the regime. As a result, the Chancellery, which is currently mainly used by the "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 game economy 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 nominations. Winners of the top places will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other awards.

    IMPORTANT: War games start some time after update 9.17.1.

    The battle room, both in sorties and offensives, can be opened for legionnaires who can join your squad (as in team or company battles). The list of open battle rooms will be available to everyone in a special interface.

    Sounds

    Great news for all fans of non-standard sounds in the game! With update 9.17.1, access to audio files will be open. Players who have previously used third-party mods will now be able to customize any game sound to their liking.
    As for the game itself, in 9.17.1 there will be a transition to the improved Wwise 2016.2.

    Improved mini-maps

    Mini-maps have been redesigned: "Sacred Valley", "Prokhorovka" and "Tank Range" (for the "Combat Training" mode).

    Major changes:

    1. In the swampy part of the location, a ford with islands overgrown with grass has been added. Near the islands, there are enough convenient positions for firing at vehicles in the area of ​​the railway bridge.
    2. The perimeter of the swamp has been improved, and new positions have been added to control the central part of the location, as well as to fire at long distances.
    3. Defensive positions have been slightly improved in the area of ​​the upper base.
    4. The river bed has been reworked for more comfortable interaction with the bog.

    Changes on the Live Oaks map the map"Live Oaks"

    Search for tanks

    Tank text search will finally be added (in all languages)

    List of changes in version 0.9.17.1 ST1 in comparison with 0.9.17

    - Removed "Ladder game" mode from the client; players will be able to view their statistics for this mode in the Achievements tab.
    - In the graphics settings window, the "Mode" and "Window size" settings were swapped, and for the "Window (no frame)" mode, we added the ability to select a resolution, which may be useful for streamers with a single monitor.

For example, when dealing damage to two cars with one shot (or causing damage to two different cars with different shots in a very short period of time), not one tape with the sum of the damage and the name of the machine (on which the last damage was dealt) will be displayed, but two different tapes with displaying damage for each vehicle. This logic will be implemented for all combat effectiveness ribbons.
    * If the enemy is destroyed, the player does not need to see the tape with the number of critical modules of the destroyed vehicle (after the "Destroyed" tape). The display of the "Critical Hit" ribbon will be disabled in this case.
    * Added a new tape "Fall damage" (when inflicting damage to the enemy by the landscape (physics)). In the detailed damage log, this event will be displayed separately. Also, this ribbon will be added to the settings for the ability to customize the display.

    6. Added the type of projectile to the detailed log. Gold shells will be highlighted in gold. The player will not be able to optionally enable / disable the indication that the projectile was “gold” in the settings. The projectile type is not added to the belts and fire indicators. The projectile type is only added to the detailed log messages for the following cases:
    a) Taking damage with a shot.
    b) Receiving critical damage.
    c) Taking damage blocked by armor.
    7. Updated detailed log settings:
    a) Added a setting for displaying a whole block of detailed damage log: damage received, crit and damage blocked by armor.
    b) Added a setting for moving the display of the entire block of the detailed damage log to a new location: displaying the received damage, crit and damage blocked by armor to the right of the ears of your own team.
    8. Improved fonts for all damage log tapes.
    9. The fonts and background of the detailed log messages have been improved.
    10. The texts of the damage log settings window have been improved.

    12. When hitting the vehicle with rapid-fire guns, ribbons 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 as close as possible on the map \ based on the map's capabilities, the number of platoons).
    * The mechanism for switching the camera in the "observer" / in the afterlife mode has been improved:
    1.the first are the tanks of the co-platoons;
    2. further in sequence according to the location in the "ears".
    - Changed the appearance of tooltips
    - Added the numerical influence of the current bonuses on the main performance characteristics in the performance data tooltip
    - Visualized in the interface the effect of situational equipment on the main performance characteristics (stereoscopic tube and camouflage net)
    - Changed the display format for armor penetration and damage with a basic shell from range to average values ​​in the hangar, vehicle preview. You can find out the range values ​​of the TTX data in the tooltip.
    - Added indication of the basic projectile in the projectile tooltip.
    - Implemented a comparison of the performance characteristics of shells in the tooltip in relation to the basic shell
    - Improved tank carousel filters in the hangar:
    1. A text search by tank name has been added to the filtering
    2. Added the ability to switch the appearance of the carousel directly to filtering
    3. Added additional statistics to the vehicle slot -% of victories on the selected vehicle in random battles, class and master badges. It is displayed on aiming at a vehicle slot and is disabled in the settings.

    - Updated Strongholds mode
    1. The format "Battles for the Stronghold" has been changed to a new one 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:
    a) There is no more plundering of the Stronghold, if the clan is defeated, the clan does not lose anything, and the winner's earnings depend on the level of his own Ur
    b) It is no longer necessary to defend the Stronghold 6 days a week. Fights in the mode only at will
    c) Battles in the mode start at a fixed time, the opponent for the Offensive is selected automatically from those available in the queue
    1. The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the obligatory defense of the UR led to significant changes in the economy of the regime. As a result, the Office, which at the moment is mainly used by the "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 game's economy as a whole.
    2. To replace the advantages of the Chancellery, a competition system is introduced - "War Games", where clans participating in sorties and offensives will be able to compete for prizes in several nominations. Winners of the top places will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other awards.
    3. IMPORTANT: War Games starts some time after update 9.17.1.
    The battle room, both in Skirmishes and Offensive, can be opened for legionnaires who can join your squad (as in team or company battles).

      Updates in this game are released every two months. The next update, numbered 0.9.17, should appear on the eve new year holidays maybe a little earlier, in November.

      It is known that new tanks will appear, Polish ones.

      You can follow the update on this official website.

      Update 0.9.17 of this popular World games of Tanks will be released only in February. So far, it is far in the plans, but at the moment the players are using the current version at the moment under the number 09.14.

      The World of tanks update is just around the corner. Will be released in just a couple of months a new version games - 0.9.17.

      In fact, several branches of the development of tanks will be added, namely the Polish ones.

      This will be a New Year's update.

      And now large-scale testing of the autumn preliminary update 0.9.16 is underway. The mini-maps are changing in it, they are refined, the players' chat will be slightly modified, the fighter and the distribution of forces are partially doped.

      It will be possible to update in the game launcher itself.

      In September 2016, it is already said to the presentation of DLC 0.9.16 for the well-known toy World of Tanks. Now you can even find a tentative list of changes on the network that will come into force with this update.

      Since updates are almost always released after an equal period of time, then approximately update 0.9.17 should be expected in November 2016. If the update turns out to be large-scale, then its release may be postponed by a month and the presentation will be held by the New Year, although, I think, there will be enough other surprises there.

      In order to find out about the content of DLC 0.9.17 in a timely manner, I recommend that you regularly view the update archive on the official WOT website, or the news feed on this resource.

      Release of updates in the game World of Tanks can be tracked here in this section of the official resource. Judging by the not very clear frequency of their appearance, the release time of update 0.9.17 can only be called presumably - most likely, it will be the period from November to December of the current year.

      At the moment, the game World of Tanks has version 0.9.13, but what will be in version 0.9.17 can only be guessed by the developers. Because now version 0.9.14 will be developed. And in version 9.13, we added the Czechoslovak branch of tanks from tier 1 to 10. Also, many tanks have been worked out and improved.

      It is too early to talk about update version 0.9.17 in World of Tanks, since version 0.9.14 is only being tested in February of this year.

      However, I have no doubt that the developers will come to this version over time.

      They have opened a section on the official website, which will describe all the news regarding the next updates. The developers have far-reaching plans for the development and improvement of the game.

      You can get acquainted with the next version of the updates here.

      Update 0.9.17 of this popular game should be released at the end of 2016, most likely in the month of December. Fans don't have to wait long. You can track new updates to the game here ..

      It is not yet known what changes will occur in this update, it is only known that the developers should add Polish tanks.

      In the update 0.9.17 for World of tanks, a branch of Polish tanks will be added, as well as Swedish PT_SAU, which is most likely. Swedish PT_SAUs will be represented by two branches of development, since there were vehicles with and without a rotating turret. These ATs will have an excellent and fast-firing weapon, very good maneuverability, but no armor per se. With the arrival of the cars of this nation, the gameplay will revive a little.

    When released World update of Tanks 9.17

    All players of this popular MMO game are waiting for the next release. major renovation 9.17, and most importantly, what changes may be in this version.

    Update 9.17 release date World of Tanks

    The developers are preparing something special, but there is no proper information on the specific release date of update 9.17, only the release date of the general test is already known. More specifically, on November 17, iteration 1 will be available for testing, where the Swedish tank destroyers will be absent, namely: Strv 103B; Strv 103-0 and UDES 03. Only in the second iteration of the general test 9.17 will they demonstrate the top Swedish tank destroyers. We will keep you informed about upcoming changes in our VK group ... As soon as the update is released, we will inform you and provide links from where you can download it.

    General test update 9.17 WoT

    Wargaming announced that the 9.17 update is already preparing for the official release.

    Important innovations will be described with regards to military equipment from Sweden, it will consist of two branches of models, including cars with high detail drawing, as well as one of the most important innovations "system of two calibers". Of the pleasant things, we can single out the updated mini-maps and other important fixes to the game itself.

    Swedish tanks

    Revised "two and three gauge rules" in update 9.17

    Now let's move on to one of the important innovations, these are the changed “rules of two and three calibers”. This is due to the fact that a couple of branches from Swedish armored vehicles will appear in the game, on which the mechanics will be simplified, it allows players to calculate the angle of impact of the projectile and the caliber, while improving combat effectiveness cars at the moment when the enemy tries to detect a rational angle of armor in order to knock you out. The same change applies to Swedish tank destroyers, as they are usually located on higher ground, thanks to the new angle of impact, they can protect themselves from enemy attacks.

    In the new rules of two and three calibers, it will be easier for you to hit even heavy vehicles, even if the armor layer is several times larger than yours. The updated game mechanics uses a new formula, at the moment when a shell hits you it ricochets, and can cause damage to the enemy, and very serious, up to complete destruction.

    Up premium cars: Löwe, FV4202, STA-2, M4A1 Revalorisé, WZ-111, Panther mit 8,8

    Changing the characteristics of six World of Tanks premium cars at once, this has not happened for a long time. It is worth disassembling in more detail:

    M4A1 Revalorisé- The French medium premium tank "Alfach" should receive changes, almost all literally all available characteristics will be uploaded, at last they will supply a historic engine and very nice UVN for the gun;

    WZ-111- Chinese premium heavy tank issued for a marathon in World of Tanks, changes were made to both the gun and the engine. And also increased the armor of the tank;

    Lowe - The Tier 8 heavy German premium tank is finally getting reinforcement in the armor of the sides and frontal projection, and will probably tank. After all, very soon there will be information about the collision of the model of all the updated tanks;
    FV4202 - Medium British premium tank of level 8, issued in the New Year marathon for those who had the top 10 level in the hangar. They change the profitability and increase it by 10%, as well as increase the maximum speed by as much as 5 km / h, better than nothing. This is the second UP of this tank in six months;
    STA-2- Japanese medium premium tank of level 8, recently was the worst premium tank in the game, but now with a maximum speed of 55 km / h the playability will improve;
    Panther mit 8.8- German premium tank of level 8 will receive changes in the traverse speed of the suspension and increased engine power, but this will not add to the fans of this ST, although UP is not bad either.

    Additionally, there was UP of the following premium vehicles, especially since the T26E4 increased armor penetration to 192 mm:


    List of possible changes expected in update 9.17. World of tanks

    Changes to the VK 72.01 (K) premium tank

    VK 72.01 in World of Tanks - german tank super-heavy class, the successor to the VK 70.01 with improved armor, was developed by the Kruppe concern also received improved armament, it is also compared with the Soviet IS-7 and IS-4, the armor ball is 160 mm, but the tower itself, unlike the IS-7, has bends at irrational angles. It also differs from its younger brother in the higher speed of aiming the turret and reloading 18.5 s, fully loaded. Despite its large dimensions of 120 tons, the tank is relatively maneuverable and gains 40 km / h, it has less ammunition than the 70th version (24 rounds). The tank's disadvantages are its high profile, which makes it an easy target for artillery, for example, on the maps " Sandy river". The tank received the title of "elite" because of the ability to transfer a crew to it from any German TT tank.

    This tank will receive enhanced firepower (for example, increased damage per minute), an indicator comparable to the E100. Another important update for VK 72.01 K owners is the armor upgrade from 235 to 246 mm. Some of the stats before the update are not yet up to date, such as increased armor on the frontal projection.

    Changes to the E-100 heavy tank

    Changes to the Tier 10 Maus heavy tank

    The history of the Mouses dates back to 1942. Hitler demanded to create a vehicle with very powerful armor. Several concerns were involved in the development of individual parts of the tank, among which was the well-known Siemens company, which developed the transmission. The main developer Ferdinard Porsche showed a couple of prototypes in 1944, however, at Hitler's instructions, the serial production of tanks was stopped because Germany did not have enough resources to develop other types of weapons.
    In the game, the tank is available after reaching the tenth level. Possesses the most better armor in its class. Its weapon has a very high one-time damage, good accuracy and resistance to penetration. The only drawback is, perhaps, a long reload time and low mobility, which makes it an easy target for SPGs and Arta.

    Changes to the Tier 8 Panther II Medium Tank

    In 1942, German engineers decided to develop an improved model of the demanded Panther tank, first of all, the changes concerned armor power. Development was carried out in parallel with the second version of the Tiger, and it was decided that the Panther would be the same Tiger, only more overall. The second version received an improved chassis, observation devices, propulsion system. The thickness of the armor also increased from 60 to 100 mm. The Shmalturm tower had internal telescopic rangefinders and infrared devices. The increase in equipment led to an increase in the size of the machine up to 47 tons. The production was started in 1945 with some changes to the turret air defense.
    In the game, the tank received level 8, it can be used as additional support for allies in the second line. He has a good rate of fire and good maneuvers, but weak armor and a tall silhouette, so he can also be a target for SPGs.

    Changes TT-9 and TT-10 Japan

    Tanks TT-9 and TT-10 (Type Heavy) heavy tanks originally from Japan became widespread during the Second World War. This tank is a huge machine, with good overview and armor, including a circular one around the tower. The good durability of the modules, and the hull itself, made it possible to hold out in fierce battles, and thanks to the excellent ammunition from high-explosive fragmentation shells, it makes sense in battles against opponents with weak durability. The downside of this tank was its high fuel consumption.

    In the game, this tank fully justifies itself and is suitable for already confident tankers who know all the shelters on the map and will not be afraid to engage in battle with more powerful tanks. With the 14 cm cannon, you can turn victory to your advantage. In the updates, the developers want to add alternative large-caliber guns, however, it was decided to abandon armor-piercing and cumulative shells in favor of game balance... But don't worry, the armor penetration is set up in such a way in order to exclude "hits in one go." The frontal projection of the turret has been strengthened, the armor in the vulnerable points of the hull has been strengthened, and the armor in the upper part has also been increased.
    The tank can be obtained at level 9; in the update, the round protruding clutches were removed in both tank models.
