Commanders!

Update 2.4 introduces four brand-new German heavy tanks:

• Tier VIII — Pz.Kpfw. 55
• Tier IX — Versuchspanzer 57
• Tier X — Kampfpanzer 67
• Tier XI — Pz.Kpfw. Neu

The tanks are equipped with a unique Shell Calibration System, which lets you fine-tune your shell for each opponent and recalibrate it on the go:

• AP and APCR shells improve their normalization and ricochet angle.
• HEAT shells work better against screens and armor.
• In return, all shell types deal less damage upon calibration.

These German heavies combine armor, firepower, and mobility, giving you the tools to adapt to a variety of combat situations.

• How do you like the new Shell Calibration System?
• Are you planning to explore the new line up close?

Please find more information in the article and the video.

A new map prototype codenamed "Serpentine" enters the Supertest. It is a 1,000 m × 1,000 m summer map with significant terrain elevation variability, inspired by Italy.

Serpentine: Key Areas

1. Village

Lots of covered positions and varying elevation. The shortest route to the enemy base goes through here.

2. Mountain

Connects zones 1 and 3. Exert control over the center of the map and the village from here. This zone features patches of burning grass on the slopes, with the smoke preventing spotting and adding to the concealment of vehicles that stay within it.

3. Radio station

An area designed for heavy tanks, featuring covered positions for both hull-angling and hull-down gameplay.
