Changes to the Maps
The Onslaught map roster is growing, with three more locations adapted for the mode. They are Oyster Bay with minor modifications, Studzianki with a larger depression in the middle, and Outpost with new ways to drive up the central hill. These maps were also outfitted with Points of Interest, and some objects were added or taken out.
Additional arrivals were added to the center part of the map in squares D4–D5 and E4, respectively. There are also Artillery Headquarters Points of Interest in the same squares.
A Comms Center Point of Interest has been added to square D5, as has a small cover for the upper team.
In square J9, a group of rocks has been added, closing off the central part of the map to the Artillery Headquarters Points of Interest from shooting.
Artillery Headquarters Points of Interest are in squares F5–F6, and some stones were added for the safe exit of vehicles.
The base capture point is located in square G7.
In square J6 is a Comms Center Point of Interest.
Another Comms Center Point of Interest is located in square F9.
Cover in the form of rocks was added and flora was removed in squares E2–E3 to balance the sides and make firing more comfortable.
A number of objects in square D9 were removed to make it more convenient for vehicles to move apart at the start of battle.
A couple of objects were removed in square J4 to make it more convenient to separate vehicles at the start of battle.
In squares E5–E6, new objects have been added to the field, and some buildings in the factory area have been removed. In addition, an Artillery Headquarters Point of Interest is located here, and the pit has been enlarged for comfortable play from the position.
The base capture point is located in squares D5–D6 , with an additional small shelter for the lower team.

Six Onslaught maps underwent various balance adjustments. In particular, the base and the Points of Interest changed their position on Overlord, and the city blocks of Ensk received an additional Point of Interest.
Capture an Artillery Headquarters to unlock the "Artillery Strike" Tactical Skill which allows you to make a targeted strike that damages enemy vehicles and stuns both enemies and allies in the zone of effect.
Capture a Comms Center to unlock the "Divisional Radar" Tactical Skill which reveals all enemies for 3 seconds on the minimap.
The Himmelsdorf map was phased out of Onslaught for a re-work, and will return in the future.
Additional Combat Modifiers
The existing Onslaught-specific combat modifiers (25% to starting HP of all participating vehicles and halved consumable cooldown time) have performed well: They let you play more boldly and take more risks, and helped to rebalance the Role Skill system.
In the Season of the Crimson Pegasus, more modifiers will be introduced.
- Gunplay has been made more convenient. With a flat decrease of gun dispersion by 0.15 m per 100 meters for every participating vehicle, everyone will have significantly better chances at hitting their opponents.
- Spotting mechanics have been adjusted to allow for more unexpected maneuvers and tactical surprises.
- The proximity spotting radius has been halved (compared to Random Battles) and equals 25 meters.
- The base time during which a vehicle remains spotted by enemy vehicles (according to the standard game mechanics) is set to 3 seconds, compared to 10 seconds in Random Battles.
Equipment, crew Perks, consumables, Role Skills, and Points of Interest affect the base time during which a vehicle remains spotted as stated in their descriptions. Only the base time is changed (from 10 seconds down to 3 seconds).
