9.19.1 Supertest Information

MrConway: Fellow tankers! Today we are sharing information about the content of the upcoming World of Tanks update 9.19.1. In the new patch we are focusing on improvements to recently added features that were introduced to the game this spring – the updated matchmaker and the updated SPG class. We will also make some changes to the top vehicles of the Chinese branch, add the first Polish tank to the game and a new training mode. And of course there will be more vehicles in HD-quality. Interested? Check out the details below. What is the updated matchmaker about? First of all, we toughened the criteria for matching teams based on the vehicle classes – now the distribution of TD’s, LT’s and SPG’s on teams will be more balanced. We do this by not only looking at the vehicle class, but also its position in the team lists. For example: If there is a top tier LT in one team, then the matchmaker will try to find a top tier LT for the opposing team. Previously, the matchmaker was not taking the vehicle tiers into consideration when matching vehicle classes. In addition SPG’s will once again be able to play in platoons, but are restricted to one SPG per platoon. The third change we made changes the displayed order of vehicles of the same tier in the in-game team panels. You’ll be able to find the details in the patch notes. What are the changes we are making to SPG’s? Besides being able to play in platoons, we have improved the alternative aiming mode – aiming in this mode will now be easier. There will also be changes to stunning mechanics: Assisted damage gained by stunning will be considered when calculating gun marks. We also reconsidered the conditions for getting Gore’s medal and have improved the interface for SPG aiming markers. Roll out!
