Clan Wars: Introducing Tank Locking on 14th February
Tank Commanders,
We are glad to introduce you to a whole new feature in Asia's Clan Wars: Tank Locking. While already implemented in other servers, it is now time to introduce this mechanic to our region.
The Tank Locking function will become active on 14th February, 2014.
What is Tank Locking?
Simply put, 'tank locking' is the term used for disabling a tank for a short amount of time, determined by a hidden timer. When your tank is destroyed during the couse of a battle on the Clan Wars Global Map, you will be unable to use that tank until the internal timer is up.
While seemingly punishing at first glance, Tank Locking as a mechanic encourages smart and creative play as clan leaders plan for and react against this new tactical element, as they proceed to attack and conquer other provinces.
Duration of Vehicle Locks
Here is a list of timers in event of a 'tank lock', seperated by vehicle class and tier level. There are two seperate timer categories, both of which are shown below.
For an attacking clan in case of a province capture:
