Hello, my name is Andrew Panasiuk.
I am the Product Manager for WoT Blitz.
My name is Artem Safronov.
I’m responsible for the operational side of WoT Blitz.
We’d like to give you a sneak peek at what’s coming in Update 3.6.
First up, Seasons:
A set of interconnected events held over a few months.
During a Season, players can get achievements and camouflages,
and take part in themed tournaments.
We’ll open the Season by introducing the French Tech Tree.
We will hold an event dedicated to this:
players will try their luck to obtain unique Premium French tanks.
Could it be more French?
In other news, the first iteration of the Enrichment feature will be introduced in 3.6.
Credits are a type of currency in the game
and many players get bored of farming them.
Some players don’t like the Premium vehicles that are available to them.
We are happy to introduce a new feature
that will allow increased profitability
for the vehicles you like and are currently researching.
How will it work, Andrew?
Two types of Enrichment will be available:
permanent Enrichment and Enrichment for two weeks.
The temporary one is available for all Tier V-X vehicles.
The permanent one is only for Tier V-VIII vehicles.
We chose these tiers to preserve the excitement of Random Encounters
since many players complained about the IS-3 Defender.
Tough stuff.
The key goal of Enrichment is to make the gameplay more varied
and to farm more credits.
We’ll definitely look into expanding these features
to make sure they are available to as many players as possible.
Our decisions will be based on your feedback:
we’ll analyze the data we get before moving forward.
Also, medium tanks will be rebalanced in 3.6.
Andrew has more info on this.
We’ve analyzed Tier X tanks’ stats.
It turns out that medium tanks have better chances of penetration
than tank destroyers.
You would think that tank destroyers’ penetration capacity is higher,
but because of the gameplay
and the fact that they have to stand farther away when they shoot,
they hit less often.
However, medium tanks have advantages
like mobility and maneuverability.
And we would like them to make use of this
instead of exchanging fire with heavy tanks head on.
So we decided that armor penetration
shouldn’t be the key characteristic of medium tanks,
and we reduced the armor penetration capacity.
We did take the individual traits of specific tanks into account,
like the Leopard 1 that has no armor.
A higher penetration capacity will remain for them.
It’s another story for Soviet tanks
since they aren’t just mobile and maneuverable with high penetration capability,
they also boast pretty solid turrets.
So we decided to even out their turret armor
with that of their peers.
Various changes will be applied to all medium tanks
and shells, including the high-explosive ones.
We want to make the game more dynamic for players on medium tanks:
we want them to think more, to make strategic maneuvers
instead of exchanging fire with heavy tanks head on.
And lastly: a French event.
It’s based on the Chest feature
that is well-known to players who saw it during the Blitz Fair last year.
There are different ways to get Chests,
from completing missions to purchasing them in the Shop.
Some Chests contain pretty exciting tanks.
The FCM 50 t, which is already in the game, is one of them.
The second is the new AMX CDC.
Today, we briefed you on key changes that are coming in Update 3.6.
Thanks for listening.
We are looking forward to your comments on this video here
or on any official media.
Good luck in battle!
Bye!
See you!
