Get yourself some Community Update Goodies!
It’s time for some free goodies and a cool pack! We’re returning last year’s “No Sekrit Dokuments, Please” decal, so those who didn’t manage to get it (although, over 80,000 of you activated it!) have the opportunity to get it now.
We’ve also made a brand-new “Sekrit Dokuments)))” decal. Use code NOSEKRITSINSIDE here to activate both decals! If you already have the original, you’ll be given the new one.
Once you’ve logged in, these decals can be found under Special > Snails and Special > Other in the decal customization menu.
The decal code will remain active from the publish date of this news until September 1st (10:00 GMT).
| Important: make sure to login to the game after activating the code on the website, as if you don’t login before the mentioned code expiry date, the decal won’t activate on your account at all. |

The upcoming major update
It’s time to take a look at some things that are planned to come in the next major update.
New tank modules
We’re continuing to add new and updated internal modules for vehicles that don’t currently have them. For the T-64 and T-80 series, the autoloader module will be refined, and a new element reflecting the conveyor mechanism will be added above the turret ring. This new element will retain the same functionality of the autoloader module we have already, and will effectively make it easier for the autoloader system to be disabled. The vertical and horizontal drive models have also been refined, they are now more accurate and in general will take up a little more space inside the tank.

As well as this, all T-72s, T-90s and ZTZ96s, ZTZ99s, the VT4A1 and the WZ1001 will all receive new detailed tank modules.
Expect to see these soon in more detail, with further tanks planned for the future too!
New Naval feature coming soon
For naval battles, we are also working to add a new control to switch between firing just the main caliber guns and main caliber with secondary caliber guns at the same time. Currently that can be done only via
