Three New Tier XIs
The Gorilla is a U.S. turreted TD with a Multi-Pack Charge System enabling it to fire reduced-efficiency shots before its gun fully reloads. The Fauteur is a well-armored French heavy with an Induction Propellant Afterburner, which accumulates electrical charge over time to boost damage. The Executor is a British wheeled medium tank with a High-Pressure Turbocharger Assist boosting its acceleration and top speed for a short time.
Four Branches Enhanced
Rediscover four Tier XI's—the Object 432U, AMX 67 Imbattable, STK-2, and FV4025 Contriver —with multiple stats improved. Most of the high-tier vehicles in their branches have been buffed, too.
Three Maps Redone
Play on the Klondike map from Grand Battles adapted for Random Battles, plus reworked Pearl River and Serene Coast with some landscaping applied.
Battle Route Tips
During the countdown and the first minutes of battle, see the zones players in your chosen vehicle gravitate to. You can turn the feature on or off at any time in Settings.
