Main Changes

  • Frontline (with multiple changes) has been launched in the test mode:
    • Added changes to the player’s progression in the mode
    • Added a new reward system, including reward vehicles
    • Made balance changes to the map
    • Reworked the vehicle rental mechanics in the Frontline mode

U.S.

  • Added the Premium tank destroyer of Tier VIII for testing by Supertest players: the TS-5.

France

  • Removed the Boost functionality for wheeled vehicles.

Fixed issues

  • Fixed some technical issues.

Supertest: TVP T 27 Premium Czech Medium Tank

World of Tanks is getting a brand new Czechoslovakian tank: TVP T 27. This tank will be the first ever Premium Tier VIII medium tank for the Czechoslovakian tech tree, something players have been long asking for.

shot_002

A medium tank sporting an autoloader system, it will fit right into the Czechoslovakian tanks play style. Gameplay-wise, it’s much like the top-tier progression vehicles of the same nation.

The crew composition is also the same as the top-tier one, making it a good crew trainer. The autoloader drum of the TVP T 27 holds three rounds and takes 20 seconds to fully reload. The time between shots is 1.8 seconds. The tank is armed with an 88-mm gun which deals 240 points of alpha damage and is most effective at close and mid-range.

supertest-TVP_T_27_EN

Its aiming time is 1.9 seconds, and the dispersion is 0.38 m at a range of 100 meters. Among the other strengths of this tank are its gun depression and mobility. Its vulnerabilities come with its relatively large size and rather lack of protection.

The TVP T 27 will be far more superior to the regular TVP VTU, but it will be a better fit to the Czechoslovakian play-style. Hopefully, we will see a rebalance to the regular tank too, as it’s rather lacking at the moment and considered by many one of the worse Tier VIII in the game, if not the worse. Are you excited to see this vehicle coming to the game? Let us know in the comment section.

World of Tanks (EU): Free Tier VIII Premium Tanks?

From time to time, Wargaming runs quite interesting for some randomly selected players and there is one quite interesting one at the moment: be Top XP in a single battle, get a free Tier VIII Premium tank.

50TP (1)

Big thanks to Dr_inseminator, one of our readers from EU region, for sending me an email with details. Basically, some players are getting a promotion in-game, where they get a one battle rental 50TP Prototyp and are challenged to be 1st place in experience in their team. If they manage to do that, they can keep the tank for free and will also receive a Winged Hussar style for free.

So if you are one of these lucky players, are you up to the challenge? Did you get the free Tier VIII Premium 50TP Prototyp in your one battle try, or did you miss the chance? Should Wargaming do more promotions like this one? Let us know in the comment section.

 

World of Tanks (EU): Trade In your tank

[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el_lhXDTe3c” controls=”no” autohide=”yes” mute=”yes” loop=”yes” rel=”no” modestbranding=”yes” theme=”light” https=”yes” playsinline=”yes”]

Have you ever get a Premium tank you don’t like? Would you like to trade it in for a new one? If yes, then this is the perfect time for it as Trade-In event is back to World of Tanks. This event will only run from 25 January at 06:00 to 8 February at 06:00 CET (UTC+1). So get your old Premium tanks ready and receive new ones, at a reduced price!

How does it work?

For example, you want to buy the Löwe, which costs 12,500 Gold in the game. In exchange, you want to trade in your old Dicker Max, which normally costs 3,200 Gold.

Just like selling standard vehicles gives you half of their value in credits, trading in your old Premium tank will produce half of its value in Gold, which in turn will be deducted from the price of the tank you are wanting to buy.

In this example, trading in your Dicker Max will yield you half of its price, which is 1,600 Gold. Consequently, your new vehicle’s price will be reduced accordingly and you now need 10,900 Gold for the Löwe.

How to trade in tanks

Vehicles eligible for purchase with a trade-in option will be displayed both in the Tech Tree and in the tank purchase menu. Depending on how much gold is available on your account, the tank available for the exchange may be displayed in two different ways:

The tank can be exchanged. There is enough gold. The tank can be exchanged. There is not enough gold.

Once you have decided, simply right-click on the vehicle and choose Purchase or Trade-in.

  • By default, the list of tanks eligible for Trade-in is arranged by the amount of gold they would deduct from the price
  • The list also features eligible vehicles that are currently unavailable for exchange (in battle, not repaired, in a platoon). Clicking on them will reveal more information about their status
  • The Trade-in menu also offers the usual actions, such as adding basic ammunition, crew training, etc.

Important to Remember

  • The Trade-in feature will be available from 25 January at 06:00 o 8 February at 06:00 CET (UTC+1)
  • You can trade in only vehicles that are of lower or equal Tier to the vehicle you are purchasing, but not below Tier VI
  • You can trade in only one vehicle per transaction
  • The gold value of vehicles may be affected by active discounts on Premium tanks
  • Ammunition, Equipment, and Consumables loaded on the vehicle that is being traded in will be automatically dismounted and placed in the Depot for free
  • Camouflages, Emblems, and Inscriptions applied on the vehicle that is being traded in will be stored in the Depot
  • The crew present in the vehicle that is being traded in will be automatically passed to the Barracks. If there are not enough free bunks in the Barracks to accommodate them, the trade-in will not be possible
  • Tanks used for trade-in cannot be restored with the Restore functionality
  • When trading in, you don’t have to buy an extra Garage Slot – the new tank will be placed in the slot previously occupied by the vehicle that was traded in

To observe the event, we’ve got a series of missions for Allied or Axis forces. You can select a side via the redeemable code. From January 22 to February 1, pick your side and win some prizes, but remember, once you use a code, you are committed to the remaining missions as that side.

Soldiers of Fortune (EU): Issues and Compensation

Soldiers of Fortune Clan Wars event started yesterday and it seems it didn’t have an easy start for the EU Region. Players couldn’t log in into the Global Map, several battles ended in a Technical Defeats, etc.

SoldiersFortune

Wargaming was aware of the issues and a fix has already been applied, but players, of course, got penalties, etc, and were asking for compensation. To help with this, Wargaming has decided to do the following:

  • The event won’t be restarted since a very large amount of battles were played validly and it would be unfair to reset progression for these players/clans.
  • All penalties were revoked and Fame Points refunded.
  • Clans will receive 100 Research Points for every tech failed battle.
  • The number of Tank Rewards was increased from 10,000 to 10,800.
  • The number of Auction Tanks was increased from 400 to 600.

Giveaway (NA): ISU-130 Tank Destroyer

The ISU-130 was originally given to NA Community Contributors years ago and is one of the game’s most elusive vehicles. Packing a 130 mm cannon, the ISU-130 has good gun depression angles, fast aim time, and high accuracy, and the highest DPM rating of all Tier VIII vehicles in the game. The TD’s weak armour makes it more suited for long-range combat than up-close-and-personal brawling, however. It also has unique Premium ammo, that has less penetration but deals more damage!

The vehicle is now on sale for a limited time, but if you don’t have or want to hand in some cash, that doesn’t mean you can’t get one for free! Thanks to Wargaming NA, we at The Daily Bounce got two ISU-130 to giveaway to our readers who have an NA account. So, if you play on NA and want to have a chance to get one, just follow the instructions below! Last but not least, this post will be updated once the giveaway is over with the winners. Good luck everyone.

World of Tanks (EU): AMX 13 57 Available for a limited time!

It’s better late than never and the AMX 13 57 didn’t arrive on time for the Advent Calendar or Holiday Ops 2019, but it’s here now for all EU players. One of the sneakiest light tanks in the game, it’s well worth it to add to your collection if you don’t have it yet.

AMX 13 57 by Harkonnen on Sketchfab

The tank will be available for three days, with three different bundles available with a starting price of about €28.00. Take your pick, but even if you decide to get the cheapest bundle you will still receive 3,000 Gold with it.

A tank that a lot of players underestimate, but with its impressive mobility and a very fast autoloading 57 mm gun, this tank can move like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
