Update 1.9.1 for World of Tanks
is ready to offer you a whole load of pleasant new experiences.
The atmospheric Berlin map awaits its players.
New ways to customize your favorite vehicles were added.
And the second season of Battle Pass is on its way.
Keep watching for more details.
New Map: Berlin
This Update adds the new Berlin map to the pool.
Many players would have experienced it in the recent game event.
The German capital is depicted
as it was during the last weeks of the war in Europe.
The city is partly destroyed, battles are all around,
the end is near as the grand confrontation is just around the corner.
You can easily find famous historical buildings on the map.
On the right-hand side is the Reichstag,
on the other is the Kroll Opera House that wasn’t able to be salvaged.
The Brandenburg Gate is located in the lower part of the map.
These and other Berlin landmarks were carefully recreated
as they would have been in April and May 1945.
But the location, while very accurate, is not a perfect copy.
Developers wanted to keep a balance
between gameplay and historical accuracy,
to make an interesting map for tank battles
and add the city’s war period aesthetics to it,
not the other way around.
The map is available in the Encounter Battle and Standard Battle game modes.
It's a bit larger than normal at 1050x1050 meters.
The location can be divided into several lines.
The city area in the upper part
is well-suited for heavy tanks and armored tank destroyers.
Short-range battles happen here,
and the destroyed city blocks act as good cover.
The central area around the bunker
is perfect for the maneuverable medium tanks.
The bunker itself is an important point of interest.
By capturing it, the team is able to control several lines at once.
And it’s also a great cover from artillery fire.
The open territory at the bottom
allows light tanks to perform both passive and active scouting.
But you've got to be careful:
in this area there are several covert spots
in which ambush tank destroyers might be lurking.
Learn more about how to play on the new map
with the dedicated video on the channel.
Vehicle Exterior
Update 1.9.1 introduces a new type of styles: Adjustable Styles.
It's an entire set of elements
that can help you create a unique look for your vehicle.
Currently, only one such style is available for purchase using gold.
It contains 18 types of Camouflage, six for each season,
emblems to change up the look of your vehicles and fonts for tactical numbers.
The Adjustable Style is available for all vehicle types,
except those that you cannot change the exterior of.
In the future there will be even more similar styles in the game.
Another important change is Progressive Decals.
It's not just painted armor, it's a bright and unusual way
to demonstrate your tank skills to other players.
There are five such decals in total.
To receive them, you have to complete special conditions in every vehicle.
Decals have between three and five levels.
With each level, the decal changes its appearance.
To reach the top level, you will have to show some extraordinary skill.
Not every player will be able to receive seven Ace Tankers
to get the Level 3 Ace Tanker decal.
Nothing can compare to seeing such a player on your team.
Except, maybe, being one.
After completing the condition for Level 1,
you’ll receive one Progressive Decal.
If you want, you may purchase some more and apply several of them
to your vehicle immediately for one or all seasons.
When you apply them, you can choose which of the available ones
you want to show off to other players.
These decals can be applied to any available spots on your armor.
Additionally, they can be applied to almost any style,
including 3D styles, too.
You can learn more about Progressive Decals
on the portal or in the dedicated video.
We also have some less comprehensive but nevertheless important improvements:
now you can apply not just two, but three decals.
And projection decals are now available
not only to Tier VIII and X vehicles:
you can apply them to almost any vehicle in the game.
Also, national emblems can be removed and placed in the inventory.
Battle Pass
The first Season of Battle Pass is about to end.
Time is running out to get your hands on the remaining rewards.
A new challenge and a confrontation between two new heroes awaits.
The second Season of Battle Pass starts on June 11th
and it will last for about 3 months.
The mechanics will remain the same:
45 Main Progression Stages and 100 Elite Progression Stages.
Many Base and Improved Rewards await you along the way.
Among them are new Bounty equipment items—
Bounty Optics and Bounty Stabilizer—
as well as unique 2D styles and other exterior elements.
The key vehicles for Season 2
will be the M48A5 Patton and the TVP T 50/51.
At the end of the journey, you’ll become the owner
of a cool-looking 3D style for one of these vehicles.
Or receive both of them if you purchase the Improved Pass.
Along with the style,
one of the two unique crew members with the Brothers in Arms perk
and enough XP to train two more perks will be available.
You will also be able to choose their specialization yourself.
Update 1.9.1 turned out to be packed full of content.
Change the vehicle exterior how you see fit.
Study the new Berlin map. Complete stages of Battle Pass.
Good luck on the battlefield, Commanders!
