Common Test 1: List of Changes

Expand

Main Changes

Random Events

Random Events have been added to two maps:

Cliff
- Plane crash at the lighthouse. A bomber downed during an intense air battle above the map manages to shoot down a pursuing fighter as it falls. The fighter crashes into the lighthouse, causing it to collapse and forming new cover on the hill. The bomber ultimately crashes as well, landing on the road in the western part of the map.
Siegfried Line
- Plane crash on the square. A crashed plane on the town square creates a large amount of new cover, allowing vehicles to play more actively in the area.
- Artillery barrage. A dense artillery barrage lays waste to part of the town, opening up new routes and creating new defensive positions.

Advent Calendar

Resources for the Advent Calendar have been added for testing.

3D Attachments

The vehicle customization interface in Exterior has been updated.
A visualization feature for matching customization elements has been added.

- Three universal slots on the hull
Missions for 3D attachments have been added to Common Tests 1 and 2.
- The missions have been added as a group of missions.

Commanders!

The Common Test for Update 1.27 has begun, giving you the chance to experience Random Events on two new Random Battle maps: Cliff and Siegfried Line. Additionally, be among the first to try out 3D Attachments—a completely new customization feature that enhances the individuality of your vehicles. Finally, as the holiday season approaches, explore the Advent Calendar, a beloved festive activity available with test rewards.

Random Events on Cliff and Siegfried Line

We continue to expand our implementation of gameplay-changing Random Events across more maps for Random Battles. It's time for Cliff and Siegfried Line to join the roster of maps with these spectacular features in action.

Here's what you can expect in these locales:

Cliff: Lighthouse Crash Event

A plane crashes into the lighthouse, causing debris to fall and block the pathway to the hill. After colliding with the lighthouse, the plane continues onward and crashes, scattering debris across the landscape.

Siegfried Line: Carpet Bombing

Carpet bombing occurs in the urban area of the map, destroying several buildings. This creates new cover, opens previously blocked areas for movement, and establishes new positions for bold tactics.

Both events introduce additional cover and obstacles, creating new tactical opportunities and unexpected gameplay decisions for teams.

3D Attachments: Customize Like Never Before!

Prepare to take your tank personalization to new heights with 3D Attachments! These unique visual elements allow you to enhance vehicles in exciting ways, ensuring you stand out on the battlefield. Attach them to specific anchor points on eligible tanks and watch as they become even more striking machines!

3D Attachments come in three rarity levels:

Rare
Epic
Legendary

Legendary Attachments feature special visual and/or sound effects that activate either during the countdown before the battle starts or in battle through specific triggers.

You'll be able to get 3D Attachments through various in-game activities. Stay tuned, as we'll soon reveal all the details—and prepare for much more impressive, stunning Attachments when this feature launches!

Advent Calendar: Open Doors to Rewards!

The Advent Calendar is available for preliminary testing. The mechanics of this feature are simple: Open doors each day to receive your free in-game items. If you miss a day, no worries—you can still claim the previous day's reward when you next log in, along with the current day's gift.
