What's new in update 9 17 1. Changes in the German branch of WoT tanks. Maus in the sandbox

All players of this popular MMO game are waiting for the release of the next major update 9.17, and most importantly, what changes can be in this version.

Update 9.17 release date World of Tanks

The developers are preparing something special, but there is no proper information on the specific release date of update 9.17, only the release date of the public test is already known. To be more specific, iteration 1 will be available for testing on November 17, where Swedish tank destroyers will be absent, namely: Strv 103B; Strv 103-0 and UDES 03. Only in the second iteration of the general test 9.17 will the top Swedish tank destroyers be demonstrated. We will inform you about upcoming changes in our VK group . As soon as the update is released, we will notify you and provide links to where you can download it.

General test of update 9.17 WoT

Wargaming announced that update 9.17 is already being prepared for the official release.

Important innovations will be described regarding military equipment from Sweden, it will consist of two branches of models, including machines with high detail rendering, as well as one of the most important innovations "two caliber system". Of the pleasant things, you can highlight the updated mini-maps, and other important fixes to the game itself.

Swedish tanks

Revised "two and three gauge rules" in update 9.17

Now let's move on to one of the important innovations, these are the changed “rules of two and three calibers”. This is due to the fact that a couple of branches from Swedish armored vehicles will appear in the game, on which the mechanics will be simplified, it allows players to calculate the angle of impact of the projectile and caliber, while improving the combat effectiveness of the vehicle at the moment when the enemy tries to detect a rational angle of armor in order to knock out you. The same change applies to Swedish tank destroyers, since they are usually located on high ground, thanks to the new angle of impact, they can protect themselves from enemy attacks.

In the new rules of two and three calibers, it will be easier for you to hit even heavy-class vehicles, even if the armor layer is several times larger than yours The updated game mechanics uses a new formula, at the moment when a projectile hits you, it ricochets, and can cause damage to the enemy, and very serious, up to complete destruction.

Up premium vehicles: Löwe, FV4202, STA-2, M4A1 Revalorisé, WZ-111, Panther mit 8.8

Changing the characteristics of six premium World of Tanks vehicles at once, this has not happened for a long time. It's worth breaking it down in more detail:

M4A1 Revalorise— the French medium premium tank “Alfach” should receive changes, almost all of literally all available characteristics, finally they will put a historical engine and a very pleasant IHV for the gun;

WZ-111 is a Chinese premium heavy tank given out as a marathon in World of Tanks, changes have affected both the gun and the engine. And also strengthened the armor of the tank;

Lowe- A heavy German premium tank of level 8 is finally getting an increase in the armor of the sides and frontal projection, it will probably tank. After all, very soon there will be information about the collapse of models of all updated tanks;
FV4202 - average British premium tank tier 8, issued in the New Year's marathon for those who had a top tier 10 in the hangar. They change the yield and increase by 10%, as well as increase the maximum speed by as much as 5 km / h, better than nothing. This is the second UP of this tank in half a year;
STA-2– Japanese Tier 8 Premium Medium Tank, most recently was the worst premium tank in the game, but now with maximum speed 55 km/h playability will improve;
Panther mit 8.8– German Tier 8 premium tank will get changes in chassis traverse speed and increased engine power, but this will not increase the number of fans of this CT, although UP is also not bad.

Additionally, there was an UP of the following premium vehicles, especially the T26E4 increased armor penetration to 192 mm:

List of possible changes expected in update 9.17. World of Tanks

Changes to premium tank VK 72.01 (K)

VK 72.01 in World of Tanks - german tank super-heavy class, the successor to the VK 70.01 with improved armor, was developed by the Kruppe concern, it also received improved weapons, it is also compared with the Soviet IS-7 and IS-4, the armor ball is 160 mm, but the turret itself, unlike the IS-7, has bends at irrational angles. It also differs from its younger brother by a faster turret aiming and reload speed of 18.5 s, fully equipped. Despite its large dimensions of 120 tons, the tank is relatively maneuverable and gains 40 km / h, its ammunition load is smaller than that of the 70th version (24 rounds). The disadvantages of the tank are its high profile, which makes it an easy target for artillery, for example, on the Sandy River maps. The tank received the title of "elite" because of the ability to transfer the crew from any German TT tank to it.

This tank will receive increased firepower (for example, increased damage per minute), an indicator comparable to E100. Another important upgrade for owners of the VK 72.01 K is the armor upgrade from 235 to 246 mm. Some indicators before the release of the update are not yet the latest, for example, such as increased armor on the frontal projection.

Changes to the heavy tank E-100

Tier 10 heavy tank Maus changes

The history of the Mouse dates back to 1942. Hitler demanded a machine with very powerful armor. Several concerns were involved in the development of individual parts of the tank, among which was the well-known company Siemens, which developed the transmission. The main developer Ferdinard Porsche showed a couple of prototypes in 1944, but at the direction of Hitler, mass production of tanks was stopped because Germany did not have enough resources to develop other types of weapons.
In the game, the tank is available after reaching the tenth level. Possesses the most the best armor in your class. His gun has a very high one-time damage, good accuracy and resistance to penetration. The only negative is, perhaps, a long reload time and low mobility, which makes it an easy target for self-propelled guns and Arta.

Tier 8 Medium Tank Panther II Changes

In 1942, German engineers decided to develop an improved model of the sought-after Panther tank, first of all, the changes concerned armor power. The development was carried out in parallel with the second version of the Tiger, and it was decided that the Panther would be the same Tiger, only more overall. The second version received an improved chassis, observation devices, propulsion system. The thickness of the armor also increased from 60 to 100 mm. The Schmalturm tower had internal telescopic rangefinders and infrared devices. The increase in equipment entailed an increase in the dimensions of the machine up to 47 tons. The release was started in 1945 with some changes in the air defense of the tower.
In the game, the tank received level 8, it can be used as additional support for the allies in the second line. It has a good rate of fire and good maneuvers, but weak armor and a high silhouette, so it can also be a target for self-propelled guns.

Changes to TT-9 and TT-10 Japan

Tanks TT-9 and TT-10 (Type Heavy) heavy tanks originally from Japan were widely used during the Second World War. This tank is a huge machine, with good overview and armor, including circular around the tower. The good strength of the modules, and the hull itself, made it possible to hold out in fierce battles, also thanks to the excellent ammunition load of high-explosive fragmentation projectiles makes sense in battles with opponents with weak durability. The disadvantage of such a tank was the high fuel consumption.

In Game this tank fully justifies itself and is suitable for already confident tankers who know all the shelters on the map and will not be afraid to engage in battle with more powerful tanks. Thanks to the 14 cm gun, you can turn victory in your favor. In updates, the developers want to add alternative large-caliber guns, but it was decided to abandon armor-piercing and HEAT shells in favor of game balance. But don't worry, armor-piercing is set up in such a way as to exclude "hit in one shot". The frontal projection of the turret has been strengthened, the armor in the weak points of the hull has been strengthened, and the armor in the upper part has also been increased.
The tank can be obtained at level 9, round protruding clutches in both models of the tank were removed in the update.

Change\add sound solutions in 9.17 WoT

Set up speakers for your loved one World games of Tanks will be very simple and convenient, since the game client itself will be able to automatically select the sound system necessary and necessary for surround sound to versions 5.1 and 7.1. The ability to test and configure in manual mode will remain. The capture of the enemy in the game is carried out through the right mouse button and is accompanied by a new sound notification. You can manage the microphone settings in Update 9.17 through the Sound tab.

Adding new mini-maps in update 9.17 WoT

"Karelia"

"Industrial zone"

"Sand River"

"Tundra"

Coming soon players new patch- 9.20, which means a lot of innovations. Traditionally, before a patch is released, developers launch test server, with which everyone can see and try all the changes without any impact on their own statistics.

The test server is downloaded as a separate client, where, like on your main client, you must enter the data of a valid account, under which you will test the update.

The test version of the game exists so that players can try out a future patch and, if possible, notice all the errors and bugs so that developers can fix them before the patch is released.

How to become a World of Tanks 0.9.20 tester?

Everything is quite simple here - you just need to download the test client installer on the official website of the game or from our website (link at the end of the article), wait for the installation and log in under your name.

By the way, every player who gets on the test server gets to use 20 thousand gold, 100 million free experience and silver per account so that everyone can try any tank in the game. After the test server closes, all gold, experience and money will disappear, and the account statistics will remain the same - the test does not affect it at all, it works like a separate game.

What changes will be in the new patch 0.9.20?

The most important update will be a branch of new Swedish tanks: a mixed and full-fledged branch of tank destroyers with unique vehicles at the top levels. Many Tier VIII prem tanks will be upgraded. The rules of three and two gauges will be redone. Eleven tanks will receive new and colorful HD models.

• Implemented automatic selection of the correct aspect ratio of the display, so the corresponding item was removed from the graphics settings menu.
• The ability to compare tanks based on the skills and abilities of the crew, installed equipment and consumables, selected ammunition and camouflage has been added.
• A new way to connect game mods has been added, in which all the content of each mod is packed into one file.

The following changes have been made to the interface elements:

• Combat Efficiency Ribbons:
  • Added the ability to display two or more feeds for the same event in battle. For example, when dealing damage to two vehicles with one shot (or damaging two different vehicles with different shots in a very short period of time), not one tape with the amount of damage and the name of the vehicle (the last one that was damaged) will be displayed, but two different tapes with the display of damage to each car. This logic will be implemented for all combat effectiveness tapes.
  • If the enemy is destroyed, the player does not need to see a tape with the number of "critized" modules of the destroyed vehicle (after the "Destroyed" tape). The display of the "Critical Hit" ribbon in this case will be disabled.
  • Added a new "Fall Damage" ribbon (when dealing Terrain/Physics damage to an enemy). In the detailed damage log, this event will be displayed separately. Also, this ribbon will be added to the menu with the ability to customize the display.
• Damage direction indicators:
  • Changed the graphic materials of the damage direction indicators - to unload the combat interface.
  • A setting has been added that allows you to enable/disable the display of a dynamic damage indicator (changing the width of the indicator depending on the amount of received/blocked damage). By default, the setting will be disabled, indicators of the same size will be displayed in battle.
  • Changed indicator timings and added animation.
• Additional information has been added to the settings, explaining the principles of some settings feedback in battle.
• Added information about taking damage or critical damage:
  • in tapes;
  • to the verbose log.
• Damage or critical damage received from an ally will also be recorded on the tape and detailed log. The color of the tape and the detailed log message will be the same for both damage received from the enemy and damage received from the ally (red for damage, orange for critical damage).
• Projectile type has been added to the detailed log. Premium shells will be highlighted in gold. The player will not be able to turn on / off the indication that the projectile was “gold” in the settings at will. The projectile type is not added to the ribbons and indicators of shelling. The projectile type is only displayed in verbose log messages for the following cases:
  • taking damage with a shot;
  • receiving critical damage;
  • receiving armor-blocked damage.
• Updated verbose log settings:
  • Added setting for displaying damage block: received damage, critical damage and damage blocked by armor.
  • Added a setting to move the display of the damage block to a new location: the display of received damage, critical damage and damage blocked by armor to the right of the lists of your own team.
• Improved fonts for all damage log tapes.
• Improved fonts and message backgrounds of the detailed log.
• Improved the texts of the damage log settings window.
• When all summary indicators of the detailed log are disabled, the log itself can be displayed to the player (in versions 9.16 and 9.17, when all three summary indicators were disabled, the detailed log was hidden forcibly).
• When hitting a vehicle with rapid-firing guns, the tapes and detailed log messages will display the total sum of the series of shots.

• The mechanism for placing members of one platoon when loading a battle has been improved: teammates are placed on the map as close as possible based on the capabilities of the map and the number of platoons.
• The mechanism for switching the camera in the “observer” mode and in the “afterlife” has been improved:
  • the tanks of the co-brothers are displayed first;
  • then in turn according to the location in the team list.
• Changed appearance pop-up hints.

"Fortified areas"

• Stronghold battles have been replaced with a new format called "Offensive". It's still a series of battles in the "tug of war" format with three lines of defense, but with a number of significant differences:
  • There are no more stronghold plunders, in case of defeat the clan does not lose anything, and the winner's earnings depend on the level of his own stronghold.
  • You no longer need to defend the Stronghold 6 days a week. Battles in the mode are held only at will.
  • Battles in the mode start at a fixed time, the opponent for the attack is selected automatically from those available in the queue.
• The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the mandatory defense of the Stronghold led to significant changes in the economy of the regime. As a result, the Chancellery, which is currently mainly used by the "top" clans that have earned their authority in battle, would become available significantly more clans, which could lead to an imbalance in the economy of the game as a whole.
• To replace the advantages of the Chancellery, a system of competitions is introduced - "War Games", where clans participating in sorties and offensives will be able to compete for prizes in several nominations. The winners will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other rewards.
• IMPORTANT: War Games will start some time after Update 9.17.1.
• The battle room, both in sorties and offensives, can be opened up for legionnaires who can join your squad (as in team or company battles).
• The list of open battle rooms will be available in a special interface to everyone.

Sound improvements

• Migration to the new version of Wwise 2016.2 has been completed.
• Expanded functionality and support for sound mods (source project with structures, remapping, documentation, compilation unlimited number sounds, etc.).

Other changes

• The list of female and male names and surnames of some nations has been expanded.
• The setting "Show simplified performance characteristics in the Garage" has been removed.

• The list of Personal Reserves available for purchase in the game client has been updated.

It's time to take a look at the calendar, as Update 9.17.1 is out today!

Recently, a lot of useful information has appeared on the portal about upcoming changes in the research tree, balance, battles for Strongholds, changes in the damage panel, and many other innovations. It's time to update the game, select a combat vehicle and personally check out all the changes in combat. We hope you will discover many interesting things for yourself. Ready? Then let's go!

Click on the pictures to find out more details.

Germany research tree

To make the German tech tree more competitive with the rest of the nations, we've made significant changes to its structure, as well as adding some brand new heavy tanks. We have also made some balance changes to improve the playing experience on medium and some premium machines.

IMPORTANT: Two completely new heavy tanks: VK100.01P (Tier VIII) and Mäuschen (Tier IX). If players have already researched the Maus heavy tank, they will be credited as researched.

Now, after researching the Tier IX VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, another newcomer is waiting for the players - Pz.Kpfw. VII. His appearance will not affect the experience earned on VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, all experience earned will remain on this tank.

The configuration of the Maus tank will also remain unchanged: all equipment, camouflage, emblems, and crew members will remain in their rightful places.

Japanese and US research trees

In addition to the German tech tree, update 9.17.1 also introduced a number of changes to Japanese heavy tanks and American tank destroyers X level. AT new version players will surely notice that researching the top Japanese heavy tanks has become a little easier and much more interesting. At the same time, the American T28, T28 Prototype and T95 tank destroyers will receive a well-deserved speed boost.

fortified areas

Fortified areas were created as a mass clan regime for a wide audience. However, over time, it became clear that leveling Strongholds above level 4 turned out to be excessively demanding for most clans. In this regard, the "Battles for the Stronghold" mode was replaced with a new one called "Offensive". In the new mode, you do not need to defend your Stronghold every day, and in case of defeat, the clan will not lose anything.

The refusal to plunder in case of defeat and the mandatory defense of the Stronghold led to significant changes in the economy of the regime. As a result, the Chancellery, which is currently mainly used by the "top" clans that have earned their authority in battle, would become available to a significantly larger number of clans, which could lead to an imbalance in the game's economy as a whole.

To replace the advantages of the Chancellery, a system of competitions is introduced - "War Games", where clans participating in sorties and offensives will be able to compete for prizes in several nominations. The winners will be rewarded with gold, advanced reserves and other rewards. The schedule for the launch of new fortified areas will be published later.

Changes in vehicle characteristics

Based on feedback from the gaming community, we have made changes to the characteristics of two premium tanks that will undoubtedly become a profitable investment for your capital: the T-34-85M and FV4202. The changes also affected vehicles such as the T110E5, Grille 15, Centurion Mk and Centurion Mk. 7/1.

Block of simplified characteristics

In Update 9.17.1, the Simplified Stats block will display information about bonuses received when using equipment activated in battle. In addition, players will be able to see information about the type of projectile selected by default, as well as its characteristics in comparison with other projectiles.

Technique Comparison

The changes also affected the unit for comparing equipment. In version 9.17.1, more indicators will be available for comparison: installed equipment, skills and abilities of crew members, equipment and camouflage.

Detail Damage Panel

A detailed damage panel has been added to the combat interface, which displays information about the received critical hits, as well as the type of vehicle and projectiles that were used to deal damage. The panel will also display ribbons with the amount of damage done, types of projectiles, critical damage, the name and type of vehicle that caused damage to your vehicle. All this will provide more useful information and will give a chance to strike a worthy rebuff to the offenders. We have removed the simultaneous display of several feeds. Now, players can adjust the width of the dynamic damage indicators, which will depend on the amount of blocked or received damage. Together, these changes will allow players to better understand the situation on the battlefield.

Platoon Spawn System

The main purpose of platoons is to play together with friends. But in cases where the platoon members are scattered all over the map at the beginning of the battle, one can hardly speak of a high-quality team game. In update 9.17.1, we fixed this and added efficient logic that will allow platoon members to spawn in one place.

UI Improvements

We have improved the vehicle search block and added a search function by vehicle name. In the new update, right in the Garage, on the vehicle panel, players will be able to study additional statistics, including the Master badges, the percentage of wins, as well as distinguishing marks earned on a particular machine. Finally, we've redesigned the personal and daily combat missions interface, which will allow players to quickly and easily get all the necessary information about new and current combat missions.

Sounds

In update 9.17.1, we open access to editing the sound files of the game. Using third-party voiceovers or selected sound sets, you can hear exactly what you need in the game. Of course, this will be useful for modders and those who wanted to bring something of their own to the game.

• The VK 100.01 (P) tank has been added to Tier VIII. The tank can be opened after Tiger (P).
• The Mäuschen tank has been added to tier IX. The tank can be opened after VK 100.01 (P).
• Mouse moved to the new branch of heavy tanks: it is upgraded after VK 100.01 (P) and Mäuschen. At the same time, all the experience earned on VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, remains on it and is not transferred anywhere.
• The Pz.Kpfw tank has been added to Tier X. VII. The tank can be opened after VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. b.
