That’s right, no bullshit X vs VIII and VI vs VIII this week. New season next week, presumably halloween mode too. Happy rolling!

Lots of ideas in here, lots of potential for mistakes… and maybe I’m just grumpy, but I read the stuff about bringing tree tanks in line with premium ones as “power creep incoming!” but that’s just me. It is good that they’re trying to improve things, including that mention of sixth sense being included with all captains.

That’s a lot of stuff! I’m not convinced about that match 3 looking mini game for rewards, but I do like how the clan changes promise to be. And new lines every season? That’s some content!

New stuff: a Polish tank that I personally find adorably goofy, and a CW Swedish… I guess Leopard 2 of some sort under license?

Lots of tanks getting a buff here. Good stuff?

Apparently there’s also a large balance pass we’re going to find out soon, but the key takeaway here is… Widepark tier 3 to 8? Really? I’m not sure if I like that.

We’re getting the Star Trek event! We’re getting the Star Trek event! So, so, so very much happy about this! I’ve been watching pc get it, then slowly it crept into all other WG products and finally! The one I enjoy. Yessssssss. 🖖

This looks like a substantial update. Lots of tanks getting balance changes (slower reload for the Type 5 heavy, really?), a change of how low tier auto cannons work, ATGM have an indicator that you are too close and also they accelerate faster. Plus new season. 4 hours update downtime.

That looks convoluted. The part I’m not happy about is how it has a contract style, and while my personal tastes are subjective, what it means is that it tends to bunch all the player base in the same step, so at points “everyone” will be after kills, at others spotting only… thankfully it can be done in coop, as the bots will keep doing their thing regardless.

That’s a lot of stuff! They’re changing the UI, a boatload of tanks, a couple of game mechanics for Cold War, fixing bugs… I’m not sure I like some changes, like the French tier 10 arty getting a reload buff (NOT a fan of that specific tank) or German tanks getting better damage but worse reload to compensate. Also worth noting that this will take 4 hours.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t see it was cold war only and kinda started to dread an invasion of Swedish cheese wedges…

I think the highlight here, and something that lacks a separate article, is the two weeks of On Track for the Chinese heavy line. Always the best time to grind a line when it’s On Track!

Neat stuff! The rare GuP Panzer IV H is going to be available again and there’s new commanders related to that. This one holds some sentimental value to me, as the event to earn it (close to the launch of the PS4 version) was what actually got me into the game!
