What is the current version of world of tanks. Which version of World of Tanks is the most current? Tank Premium Account

The developers of World of Tanks have a lot of plans for the upcoming 2018. The nearest of them is the release of update 9.22 World of Tanks. The main emphasis in it is on Soviet technology. Branches PT, ST and TT are changing dramatically.

When will update 9.22 be released World of Tanks?

From the grand event WG FEST 2017, it became known that the next patch update will be 9.22 WoT, and already in March 2018 we should expect world of tanks 1.0 (a game with new HD maps).

And also don't forget to check how well the existing hardware can draw HD cards, for this, use World of Tanks enCore and test the new engine and your computer power.

Release date - updates 1.5

General test of update 9.22

Update 9.22 Public Test is scheduled for release in February 2018.

Due to numerous requests from players, the branch of Soviet anti-tank guns with a rear wheelhouse will be reworked. Of course, the main prize here is the Object 263 - a powerful and interesting machine, however, the branch itself is generally problematic and unplayable. Therefore, the developers have planned the following changes:

SU-101 and SU-101M1 remain in their places, however, will be upgraded.
SU-122-54 will disappear from the upgraded branch. This vehicle does not correspond to the logic of the branch development, having a standard cabin location, weak armor and a relatively low amount of XP. Due to these design features, the car could not compete on equal terms with most classmates.
Object 263 "moves" to the 9th level.
Object 268 Option 4 - will be a new top.

Changes are also planned for the branch of medium tanks. In particular, the game will develop 3 branches with unique gameplay and combat characteristics:

Good news awaits fans of Soviet heavyweights. Starting from the KV-13, an additional line of heavy tanks with aft turrets will be developed. 3 fundamentally new machines will appear here: IS-2Sh, Object 705 and Object 705A.

In many respects, these machines resemble the legendary IS-7, but they offer a completely new gameplay.

New premium tanks

The developers plan to carry out large-scale work on premium tanks with a reduced level of battles. Often beneficiaries are unable to equally counteract their classmates. This is due to the fact that the pumped equipment is regularly improved, and the characteristics of premium tanks do not change. This problem requires a comprehensive solution, however, it must be implemented gradually to avoid imbalance in the game.

Game Modes

New game modes will be added to the game, which will help make the gameplay more vivid and rich. In addition, changes are expected in the Ranked Battles that many people like. Here, the game mechanics will be somewhat reworked, which will allow for healthy competition at key stages. In particular:

Chevrons will be awarded to players from both teams, however, the winners will be entitled to more chevrons.
The ranking system will be increased, but will retain the general concept of the second season.
The ranks obtained will now be saved even after unsuccessful battles, but players will have to defend their current status on the battlefields.
The duration of the stages will be increased, therefore, you will not have to sit all day at the computer to achieve certain results. This decision is aimed at the efficiency of the players.

What to expect in Update 9.22

In addition to the changes listed above, other improvements, changes in development branches and much more are planned in the game.

How bonds will be earned

New options for obtaining alternative game currency are planned. Bonds are now earned for epic rewards and achievements earned while playing on Tier 9-10 vehicles. In addition, you can earn currency in the general battle mode and on the global map. However, mindful of their promises, the developers have planned several additional ways to get hold of bonds, and are considering the possibility of spending them on purchasing vehicles and modifying the appearance of vehicles.

Developments

In 2018, World of Tanks will feature new atmospheric events similar to New Year's Offensive and Leviathan Invasion. A more extensive list of available rewards will be implemented here, including the ability to receive bonds for certain achievements. Let's add that tank football competitions will be held in the summer, which many players liked.

With the release of each update, it becomes necessary to update the client.

Basically, it automatically updates itself, but there are situations when:

The game itself gives out that it is necessary to update the client;
after installing the game update, the client gives an error;
during a client update, an additional download of updates begins.

Most of the problems with updating the client in the game application can be associated with the extensive use of cheat mods. It is they that are downloaded and installed with a large number of viruses that do not allow a gamer to play normally in an online game.

Consider some ways to update the World of Tanks game client

1. We try to run the game application file with a link to the new update. After launch, the client must update itself, as it provides for an independent (automatic) update.

2. In cases involving a manual or selective update method, it is necessary on the official website of the game application in the "Game" tab, by date to find the last update released. Select the required file and download it to the World of Tanks installation folder.

The next step is to start the client and, if necessary, specify the path to update the new downloaded update file

3. If you refuse to start the client, you must check for "permission to automatically install updates". If there is a ban, then the game will not start without updating and rebooting.

4. Sometimes you need to find the "Launcher" in the installation folder and run it. This action will push the slowing system to update quickly.

5. The last way to update the World of Tanks game client and solve problems with the game not starting after the update is to eliminate prohibited modifications.

It is a large number of them that sometimes do not give permission to automatically update the client.

Therefore, as it were, it was not sad for “honest” players, but they would have to remove all prohibited mods and run the client to update. Subsequently, of course, you can download again and install all the necessary mod packs. But again, this is at your own peril and risk, since they are prohibited and in the future they may also be a source of such problems.

Official mods can not be touched, they cannot cause any glitches even when cheating mods are removed, others should not be touched.

With a huge delay, we publish the exact release dates for the next update in World of Tanks - 0.9.20.1 and approximate changes. The penultimate update of the year of the Fire Rooster.

In developing. Vehicle rebalance in 9.20.1

List of changes in version 0.9.20.1 ST1 compared to 0.9.20.

Innovations:

— Large-scale update of the first campaign of Personal Missions "Long-awaited Reinforcements"

essence of change.

* Completely redesigned visual and audio components of personal combat missions.
* Completely new and unique rewards have been added.
* The conditions of tasks have been revised so that the main reward for the operation is always relevant for the player.
* Added "Order Forms", which will greatly facilitate the implementation of personal combat missions.
* You can find out about changes in personal combat missions in a special video available right in the game.

Interface and sound

— All interfaces of personal combat missions have been reworked:

1. The entry point to personal combat missions has been changed: now it is located on the top panel of the Hangar under the "To battle!" and is called "Campaigns";
2. Added screen "General Staff" with a map of all operations;
3. The operations screen has been completely redesigned: now it is a geographical map with tasks in the form of areas on it;
4. The campaign rewards screen has been completely redesigned:
a) Now the main reward - the car - is located in the center of the screen;
b) Added operation statistics: now you know how many credits you can still earn.

- Added new musical accompaniment:
1. A music track was recorded specifically for personal combat missions;
2. Added interactive music: the more tasks are completed within the same branch, the more intense the music.

A new way to get reward cars.

"Award lists" have been removed, instead, the "Components" of the machine have been introduced:

1. To get a reward vehicle for an operation, you need to collect all 5 components: hull, chassis, gun, power plant and radio station;
2. Each component has its own branch of tasks in the operation:
a) Power plant - task branch for light tanks;
b) Chassis - task branch for medium tanks;
c) Hull (+ turret or wheelhouse) - task branch for heavy tanks;
d) Weapon - task branch for tank destroyers;
e) Radio station - task branch for ACS.
3. To get the component, you need to complete the final fifteenth task in the corresponding branch.

Order forms.

Added a new entity "Order Forms":

1. To earn an order form, you must complete any final task of any branch with honors;
2. Order forms can be included (that is, used) in any tasks. In this way:
a) The selected task will automatically be considered completed without distinction;
b) You will receive a reward for the main conditions of the task;
c) The spent order form will remain embedded in the task;
d) The pledged order form does not disappear, but is temporarily frozen until you take it back.
3. To pick up the pledged order form, you must complete the task in which it is embedded with honors. This way you get your order form back and can reuse it.
4. The number of order forms required for inclusion in tasks:
a) For any task from 1 to 14 - 1 order form;
b) In task 15 - 4 order forms.

To sum up: order forms can be used to skip tasks that are difficult or uninteresting for you. And most importantly: you can add order forms to the final, fifteenth task in the branch, even if you haven't completed the previous 14 tasks yet. Thus, you can instantly get the 5th missing machine component by completing 4 branches of tasks with honors.

New awards.

1. Added a new reward - patches:
a) In each operation, you can earn 2 patches:
* Patch of the II degree is issued simultaneously with the receipt of the award car;
* I degree badge is issued for completing all 75 tasks of a specific operation with distinction.
b) For completing all tasks in all operations, you will receive a special unique patch "Champion of the 1st Campaign"
2. A new reward has been added - camouflage schemes:
a) In each operation, you can earn a set of 3 (summer, winter, desert) unique camouflage schemes:
* A set of 3 camouflage schemes for a reward vehicle is issued for completing all 75 tasks of the operation;
* The same set of schemes is unlocked for use on all vehicles of the same nation as the award vehicle for completing all 75 objectives of the operation with distinction.

Changing task conditions

The objectives in each operation have been revised to increase the relevance of the main reward. For example, now all missions from Operation StuG IV can be completed using Tier V vehicles, from Operation T28 Heavy Tank Concept - at Tier VII, and so on. At the same time, participation restrictions have not changed. You can perform the tasks of any operation, even at Tier X.

We also made the additional conditions in the final fifteenth tasks of each branch more diverse. This is due to the fact that the additional reward for the tasks that complete the branches has become more valuable: Order Forms are now located there.

Note! If, according to the condition of the task, you need, for example, to detect 5 vehicles in a battle, and you have discovered 7 - obviously, the task will be successfully counted. This rule is true for all numerical conditions.

Bonds and medals

Starting from 9.20.1, upon receiving a medal from the categories "Epic Achievements" and "Battle Heroes", the player will receive additional rewards in the form of bonds. Bonuses will not be awarded for cumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and is subject to change. Read more.

Training Ground Improvements

Changes:
* Disabled irrelevant options in the context menus of the windows for improving the car, the Research Tree, as well as the "carousel" of equipment.
* Balanced rewards (credits and experience) for victories and defeats during the passage of the training ground.
* The accrual of rewards for completing the Training Grounds is now displayed in the notification center.
* Added a notification to players that they will not receive a reward when re-passing the Training Grounds.
* The crew recruitment window has been made more informative.

What's new in World of Tanks update 0.9.18:

Improved balancer

The new balancer is a template algorithm that selects equivalent team compositions in the shortest possible time. First of all, the balancer tries to create a three-level battle using the 3/5/7 pattern. If it might take too long to collect commands from this pattern, the system relaxes the restrictions to collect commands more quickly. Also, due to the composition of the queue, the balancer can create a two-level or one-level battle. In this case, most of the battles will be three-level. Thus, you won't have to wait for a battle for a long time - the balancer will always select the optimal composition of teams, based on the current situation on the server. With the new balancer, you will always be up against a team consisting of the same number of vehicles at the top/middle/bottom of the team list as your team. Moreover, regardless of the template chosen, the number of cars at the bottom of the team list will be more than the cars in the middle, and they, in turn, will be more than the cars in the “top”. Simply put, no matter where your vehicle is on the list, there will always be enemy tanks of a similar level for you, which will allow you to have a greater impact on the outcome of the battle.

Expansion of light tank branches up to Tier X

The branches of light tanks will be expanded to Tier X and will receive a standard level of battles (±2), which will diversify the gameplay on the LT and make it more enjoyable. They won’t have to suffer anymore: fast, but extremely “fragile” Tier VIII LTs will now play against “tens”, but the number of Tier X tanks will not be significant - “eighth” LTs will easily find opponents on the shoulder. However, that's not all! Having received full-fledged research branches, light tanks turned into independent combat units and received a number of balance changes. They will still play the role of scouts, but they will have decent firepower and excellent speed to influence the outcome of the battle when needed. The new Tier X light tanks will be faster and more agile than their lower tier counterparts. Stabilization, maneuverability, armor penetration and damage will allow light tanks to excel in battle at short and medium distances. In duels against CTs, Tier X light tanks will be far from "whipping boys". Their guns will be only slightly inferior to the guns of medium tanks, and their armor penetration will be enough to break through the side or stern of any enemy. Anyone who does not pay attention to them in battle will make a big mistake.

Changes in the game mechanics of self-propelled guns

The new stun mechanic turns SPGs into long-range fire support vehicles: effective team players will be able to reduce the combat performance of enemy tanks and set the direction of attack, staying behind the backs of allies. Having lost the ability to inflict high one-time damage, self-propelled guns will temporarily reduce the mobility, accuracy, and reload speed of enemy vehicles. The duration of the stun can be reduced with Anti-Shatter Liner or completely removed with reusable First Aid Kits. At the end of the stun, the parameters of the vehicle return to normal, and you can continue the battle. We also significantly reduced the armor penetration and damage of high-explosive fragmentation shells and completely removed armor-piercing, armor-piercing sub-caliber and HEAT ammunition from researchable self-propelled guns. SPGs will now deal less damage, but gain experience for damage dealt by allies against stunned targets, similar to intelligence damage. Thus, firing at groups of enemy vehicles will be more effective than firing at single targets. This change, combined with the introduction of a stun mechanic, will force SPG players to adjust their playstyle and fire into enemy clusters.

The game World of Tanks is constantly updated. Developers are trying to quickly introduce a variety of innovations that will not let the player get bored. No wonder gamers get confused when trying to figure out which version of the game is currently installed.

Today we will answer the question, what version of World of Tanks do you have now, tell you what is interesting in it, and talk about its features.

Update 9.16 General Information

The current version of World of Tanks is 9.16. In it, the players encountered the changed visibility mechanics, the first Swedish-made tank, vehicles reworked in HD, the new map "Paris" and other interesting things.

An interesting innovation is a change in the mechanics of the “light” of tanks. As the developers say, until recently, a tank moving at high speed was rendered with some delay, which made the players uncomfortable - they had to shoot with a large lead.

Now the enemy is immediately visible - this allows you to respond to a change in the situation faster.

An important novelty is the appearance of the first Swedish tank, the forerunner of a whole line of new vehicles. We are talking about a Swedish combat vehicle of the sixth level. The medium premium tank, equipped with a loading drum, surprised the players.

Someone will be impressed by the new map "Paris". You will find yourself in the square of the French capital, where you will see the Eiffel Tower. The map is a great place for heavy tank battles. There is an open area for high-speed cars, there is a central square, where those who want to compete close up come together.

Now players have the opportunity to take allies from other clans on raids.

Useful little things

The developers decided to relieve the creators of modifications from the need to introduce some of them into the game by adding the most popular add-ons to the new version.
