When will the new world of tanks patch be released? Which version of World of Tanks is the most current?
The World of Tanks game is constantly updated. The developers are trying to quickly introduce various innovations that will not allow the player to get bored. It's no wonder that gamers get confused when they try to determine which version of the game they are currently installing.
Today we will answer the question, what is your current World version of Tanks, we’ll tell you what’s interesting about it and talk about its features.
Update 9.16: general information
The current version of World of Tanks is 9.16. In it, players encountered modified visibility mechanics, the first Swedish-made tank, redesigned HD vehicles, the new Paris map and other interesting things.
An interesting innovation is a change in the mechanics of tank “lighting”. As the developers say, up to recently a tank traveling at high speed was rendered with some delay, which caused discomfort for players - they had to shoot with great anticipation.
Now the enemy is visible immediately - this allows you to react to changing situations faster.
An important new product is the appearance of the first Swedish tank, the predecessor of an entire line new technology. We are talking about a Swedish level six combat vehicle. A medium premium tank equipped with a loading drum surprised players.
Some will be impressed by the new Paris map. You will find yourself in the square of the French capital, where you will see the Eiffel Tower. The map is a great place for heavy tank battles. There is an open area for high-speed cars, there is a central square where those who want to compete up close come together.
Now players have the opportunity to take comrades from other clans on forays.
Useful little things
The developers decided to save the creators of modifications from the need to implement some of them into the game by adding new version most popular add-ons.
With the release of each update, there is a need to update the client.
Basically, it automatically updates itself, but there are situations when:
The game itself tells you that you need to update the client;
after installing a game update, the client gives an error;
During the client update, additional downloading of updates begins.
Most of the problems that arise with updating the client in a gaming application can be associated with the extensive use of cheating mods. They are the ones downloaded and installed with the presence large quantity viruses do not allow a gamer to play normally in an online game.
Let's look at some ways to update the World of Tanks game client
1. We try to launch the game application file with a link to the new update. After launch, the client must update itself, so it provides for independent (automatic) updating.
2. In cases involving a manual or selective update method, you must go to the official website of the game application in the “Game” tab and find the latest update released by date. Select the required file and download it to the World of Tanks installation folder.
The next step is to launch the client and, if necessary, specify the path to the update to the new downloaded update file
3. If the client refuses to start, you need to check for permission to automatically install updates. If there is a ban, the game will not start without updating and rebooting.
4. Sometimes you need to find “Launcher” in the installation folder and launch it. This action will push the braking system to quickly update.
5. The last way to update the client Games World of Tanks and solve problems with the game not starting after an update, you can call it eliminating prohibited modifications.
It is a large number of them that sometimes do not give permission to automatically update the client.
Therefore, it would not be sad for “honest” players, but they will have to remove all prohibited mods and run the client to update. Subsequently, of course, you can download and install all the necessary mod packs again. But again, this is at your own peril and risk, since they are prohibited and in the future they may also be a source of such problems.
You don’t have to touch official mods, they can’t cause any glitches and when you remove cheating mods, others shouldn’t be touched.
Composers Andrius Klimka and Andrey Kulik studied folklore and authentic musical instruments characteristic of each region represented on the maps in the game. More than 50 musicians from all over the world recorded parts of national instruments. In update 1.0 you can hear melodies and motifs different cultures- from Indian to Arabic. The composers combined this material with a symphonic sound and a combative atmosphere. Some of the music was recorded with the Prague Symphony Orchestra FILMHarmonic. Orchestra conductor Adam Clemens participated in the recording of the soundtracks for your favorites “Game of Thrones,” “Fargo” and “District 9.” The new music is dynamic: it changes depending on the game moment and takes the emotions of what is happening to a new level.
The team is structured in such a way that all people are composers, they create music and at the same time create a huge layer of game sounds: explosions, sounds of a running engine, caterpillar movements, gunshots. Update 1.0 is 1.5 years of continuous work by two composers and more than 80 thousand battles per department.
In a year and a half, two full-length albums were written. By music industry standards, this is more than fast. If we ignore the fact that the battle music is literally endless, and take 3 minutes from each composition, it turns out that more than 2.5 hours of music material was written for the update.
Andrius Klimka, sound designer, composer: “I remember how I had to make a shot from a tank - the most powerful shot in the game. Imagine what a responsibility! I needed to listen to it 250 times a day, and doing it quietly is pointless, you need to hear all the power. When I went home, my colleagues didn’t even talk to me: they knew that I couldn’t hear anything anymore.”
Creating a tank model begins with receiving technical specifications from historical consultants. Usually these are drawings, descriptions, and a selection of photographs for each element of the machine, which are sufficient to reproduce a 3D model. Sometimes find detailed information It's simply impossible. In such cases, the team goes to the armored tank museum to scan the unique vehicle and obtain a dimensional model.
One of these tanks was the Strv-103b. After making sure that all the necessary information is available, computer graphics artists begin to build the geometry of the tank. At this stage, it is important to observe many nuances: the angles of inclination of the armor plates, the axis of rotation of the vehicle components, the number of bolts, the declination angles of the gun, the correct intersection of elements. After this comes the stage of working out the details. Everything that cannot be conveyed using geometry is transferred to relief maps (Normal Map). These could be chips, traces of being hit by a shell, milling - anything that will make the tank more unique and graphically rich. The process of creating a model is completed by the stage of applying materials. Using a previously created library of materials, designers determine where rubber, abraded metal, paint, or spilled fuel will appear. The World of Tanks team is constantly looking for new solutions to make each of the materials even more beautiful and the tanks more realistic. When the final model is ready, it is sent to the game engine.
Mikhail Vaiser, computer graphics artist: “In the Swedish museum we took about 800 photos of the Strv-103b tank from all angles. When we processed the photographs and built a 3D model, of course, it turned out to be so heavy that it could not be released into the game: no computers would have been able to handle it. Therefore, we made a lightweight gaming model, where fine detail remained, right down to the bolts.”
New graphics in World of Tanks
First of all, World of Tanks programmers are tank players. And as players, they're trying to make tanks better: to increase realism and make people feel like they're driving a real vehicle in a combat environment, rather than on some toy plane in a toy world of tanks.
Three years ago it became clear that it was impossible to improve this immersion with new textures and models alone, and the content itself was severely limited by technology - the old BigWorld engine. Therefore, the company decided to rework almost all aspects of the graphics engine: from displaying small pebbles to huge mountains, from small puddles to lakes, from small blades of grass to dense forests.
In the new Core engine, great attention was paid to details, especially the interaction of the player with the outside world: the grass sways when fired, the tank gets wet when immersed in water, creates waves and leaves realistic marks. Lighting is based on the laws of nature: the update introduced advanced glare from the sun. A mixture of all this gives a realistic perception of the picture.
Location design. Cards
Work on the map begins in the level design department. Level designers take a piece of landscape and sketch out fields somewhere, somewhere forested areas, mark roads, paths and set up temporary houses.
Then the workpiece goes through several iterations of testing. As soon as the gameplay is more or less suitable, the workpiece moves to the supervision department. In supervision, references are collected for the map: analogues, pictures.
After this, the map goes to the level art department, where additional references are collected to saturate the map. Location designers choose a region for the map and look at what kind of paving stones there are, what kind of trees, houses, mountains, grass there are. After this, the map can be supplemented with finely detailed content, textures can be created and animations can be made for grass and water.
Pavel Sugak, location designer: “In update 1.0, the maps became more realistic due to the addition of geometry. The stones became sharper, edge geometry appeared, and the cards became more voluminous. If before it was just a playable square, now it is 16 km. The edge geometry is not gameplay, it is a continuation of the picture in the non-game zone. Now you can drive a tank to the edge of the map and look into the distance.”
Tank museum and World of Tanks community
The World of Tanks tank museum contains things that people make with their own hands at WoT competitions or simply send to the Wargaming office: tanks made from matches, tank shoes, knitted tanks. Those who send packages are always contacted and offered to thank them, and it turns out that people do this just for the sake of their favorite game. This is an indicator of the health of the project, which shows that the creators are moving in the right direction. People get positive emotions from tanks and are willing to spend time to additionally create something for the game.
Wargaming conducts many offline activities for players and the development of patriotic themes. These are tournaments in 20 cities of the CIS, WG-fest and Tankman Day in Minsk.
The product operations team in the CIS region of 41 people participated in update 1.0. The team prepared all tests for the update, starting with internal prototypes and the first sandboxes for players, collected and processed feedback during tests, and searched for bugs and inaccuracies. Here they created news materials for the portal and hundreds of posts on social networks from the very first stage of testing. We made streams, videos, reviews and test broadcasts of all preparatory stages of the update. We wrote songs about the update, answered questions from players, helped with technical problems. During the days when the update was launched, the operations team was on duty at night and responded to the first messages in the game on the day of release.
Evgeniy Krishtapovich
, regional producer: “Now we can confidently say that we have a unique collaboration with the players in the industry, but it was a difficult path. Over the eight years of the project's existence, we have had different relationships: When we first started, we didn't know how to take criticism. Then we realized that we were making a lot of mistakes because we weren’t listening to the players’ opinions. Now World of Tanks is made not only by the development team and the operations team, but also by the players. We show them all the changes, explain what we want to achieve with this, listen to their comments and criticism, and answer their questions. It is very important that this criticism exists. Only if all parties agree will we implement what we have in mind.”Wargaming company
Last year, 411 people were hired in Minsk. Of these, 107 are from other countries, 90% are from Russia. Wargaming is constantly in search of expertise that the local market cannot always provide. Currently, 2,082 people work in Minsk; in total, the company has more than 4,000 people. Average age employees are 31 years old, which is higher than in the industry as a whole, because people of expert level are attracted here: Wargaming practically does not employ junior developers. However, in 2017, the company began to specifically target students and provide training that will allow them to get into Wargaming or another company in the industry.
In Minsk, 70% of employees are men, 30% are women. In order for girls to come more often to development, game development, and IT, the company is separately promoted to a female audience.
From the first hours of work at Wargaming, new employees are immersed in the gaming atmosphere. The adaptation program here is a quest that an employee completes and earns achievements. At the end there is a prize waiting for him. Adaptation usually lasts three months.
Wargaming has its own university for employees. In 2017, 3,700 people were trained in Minsk and other offices. On average, 500 people study every year English language. In addition to English, the university has an online educational platform, leadership programs for managers, and specialized proprietary courses taught by Wargaming employees.
The best minds gather where they are concentrated. Wargaming has 2 offices in the Czech Republic (Prague and Brno), a team in Cyprus (Nicosia), an office in China (Shanghai), Ukraine (Kiev) and, of course, in Minsk, where 20 years ago a company emerged from a small group of enthusiasts that creates legendary games.
Olga Lavrentieva
, Employer Brand Manager: “Wargaming employs unique people who are passionate about a common idea. Finding these people is extremely difficult. They know their worth, they are well educated - by the way, not always specifically in the field of game development. The main thing is that these are people with a passion for the gaming industry.”User Experience
Wargaming has a laboratory where they conduct tests, to which real players are invited. Many techniques are used here, ranging from a regular interview to complex biometric studies, during which they measure the player’s reaction, determine how his brain works, how he reacts to what is happening in the game, and track his gaze. Why is all this needed? To answer the key questions that determine whether a person will continue to play: whether he likes it, what emotions arise during the process, whether he understands how to interact with our interface.
Representatives of the target audience of WoT take part in the research. Not developers or anyone who has nothing to do with tanks. It is important to understand that developers and players have different backgrounds, so their opinions often do not coincide.
Andrey Lizun, User Experience researcher: “A year and a half ago, we were given the task of taking the sound of tanks to a whole new level, making it as realistic and ambience as possible. A person who plays World of Tanks should feel like he is actually sitting in a tank and fighting. As life has shown, after the first tests, the ideas of players and developers about what is realistic did not coincide. The players said: “Where did you hear such sounds?” Of course, we were surprised, because our guys were at the training ground and, sitting in the tank, recorded the creaking of the tracks and the crunch of the gearbox. When we started looking into it, it turned out that players consider the sound of a tank that they heard in movies, TV shows or other games to be realistic. As a result, now in tanks there is a sound that balances on the brink of realism and fiction, artistic realism. The players accepted this option and were happy.”
Emotions
Over the years, World of Tanks has become a space where people come primarily for emotions: the joy of victory, the excitement of battle, confidence in their teammates. Players gather and real life to do good deeds, visit museums, restore equipment, spend time with families. World of Tanks began digitally and is evolving as a game, but tanks have become a part of real life that takes place outside of the servers. The game unites people of different ages and different professions; it has become part of male culture. Tanks are a topic of conversation among avid friends and future comrades. The release of the WoT 1.0 update will be a new impetus for this movement.
The picture in WoT 1.0 has moved to a whole new level of realism: stains on the water, a blast wave. Little things like this blur the line between tank battles and the real world. All this gives players new sensations. WoT remade a huge number of old maps, which sparkled with new colors, and added new locations, a new Calm map.
Yuri Kuryavyi, Publishing producer: “The other day we launched game servers, and what we saw was the most pleasant moment for us, the developers. Instead of shooting and breaking through flanks, players simply stand, rotate their turrets and look at this new world. WOT 1.0 begins."
The release date for update version 1.2 is approaching and it’s time to talk about the changes that World of Tanks expects in the next patch.
In general, the upcoming update can be called complementary. After all, there will be no global changes in World of Tanks; the balance of tanks in the game will not be affected by patch 1.2, as it was in one of the previous patches. We will talk in detail about the innovations and changes in WOT 1.2. After reading to the end, you will find out the exact release date of update 1.2.
World of Tanks 1.2 changes
Operation Second Front
We are talking about the third part of Operation Second Front. Its testing will be carried out during general test updates 1.2 from September 13 to 26. At this time, every World of Tanks tanker will be able to test tanks that are intended to reward players of the first and second parts of Operation Second Front.
One of these combat vehicles will be Object 279 (p), which will appear in patch 1.2. Read about the superiority of premium tanks in our material.
Premium account for completing tasks in World of Tanks 1.2
As a reward for completing open order forms during the third part of the “Second Front” in the World of Tanks players will be able to receive the following awards:
- Tank girl for completing the 15th task of the “Alliance”, “Union”, Bloc” or “Coalition”. For example, for the “Alliance” you need to receive the 1st degree of the class badge in 3 battles out of 15. If you manage to get the "Master" class badge, in addition you will receive 800,000 silver.
- 1 day premium account for completing the 13th combat mission. For example, for the “Coalition” you need to reflect in 5 battles in 4 of them a double amount of damage corresponding to the maximum strength of your combat vehicle.
- Also premium account for 1 day can be obtained for fulfilling an additional condition in tasks numbered 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14.
Artificial intelligence tanks
We talked in detail about the plans of the World of Tanks developers to introduce tanks with artificial intelligence in version 1.2. The main purpose of AI tanks is to help reduce player waiting time. This innovation will not affect the RU region, EU region and NA region.
It was decided to test artificial intelligence immediately in the regions that need it most - Australia and South America.
Later, artificial intelligence in World of Tanks versions 1.3 and 1.4 will be used to implement PVE in the game.
Maps in update 1.2
Map "Border of the Empire"
New map "Border of the Empire" will appear in World of Tanks with the release of update 1.2. The game location will be available for three game modes at once: "Encounter Battle", "Assault" and "Standard Battle" ("Random Battle"). A new map has been designed for level 4-10 tanks. The map was developed using the Core engine, which we told you about in the review of changes in the World of Tanks 1.0 update.
Loading screen soundtrack for the Empire's Frontier map
A special soundtrack has been prepared for the new game location. The sound track will accompany players while loading the battle and at the beginning of the battle in the game location "Border of the Empire".

List of changes in version 0.9.20.1 ST1 compared to 0.9.20.
Innovations:
— Large-scale update of the first campaign of Personal combat missions “Long-awaited reinforcements”
The essence of the changes.
* The visual and audio components of personal combat missions have been completely redesigned.
* Added completely new and unique rewards.
* The conditions of the tasks have been revised so that the main reward for the operation is always relevant for the player.
* Added “Order Forms”, which will greatly facilitate the execution of personal combat missions.
* You can learn about changes to personal combat missions in a special video available directly in the game.
Interface and sound
— All interfaces for personal combat missions have been redesigned:
1. The entry point to personal combat missions has been changed: it is now located on the top panel of the Hangar under the “Battle!” button. and is called “Campaigns”;
2. Added screen " General base» with a map of all transactions;
3. The operations screen has been completely redesigned: now it is a geographical map with tasks in the form of areas on it;
4. The campaign rewards screen has been completely redesigned:
a) Now the main reward - the car - is located in the center of the screen;
b) Operation statistics have been added: now you know how many credits you can still earn.
— Added new music:
1. A music track was recorded specifically for personal combat missions;
2. Added interactive musical accompaniment: the more tasks completed within one branch, the more intense the music.
A new way to receive reward cars.
“Award lists” have been removed, and instead “Components” of the vehicle have been introduced:
1. To receive a reward vehicle for an operation, you must collect all 5 components: hull, suspension, gun, power plant and radio;
2. Each component has its own branch of tasks in the operation:
a) Power point- task branch for light tanks;
b) Chassis - task branch for medium tanks;
c) Hull (+ turret or wheelhouse) - task branch for heavy tanks;
d) Weapon - task branch for tank destroyers;
e) Radio station - task branch for self-propelled guns.
3. To receive the component, you must complete the final fifteenth task in the corresponding branch.
Order forms.
Added a new entity “Order Forms”:
1. To earn an order form, you must complete any finishing task of any branch with honors;
2. Order forms can be included (that is, applied) to any tasks. Thus:
a) The selected task will be automatically considered completed without distinction;
b) You will receive a reward for the main conditions of the task;
c) The spent order form will remain included in the task;
d) The pledged order form does not disappear, but is temporarily frozen until you take it back.
3. To pick up the enclosed order form, you must complete the task in which it is enclosed with honors. This way you get your order form back and can use it again.
4. The number of order forms required to be included in the tasks:
a) For any task from 1 to 14 - 1 order form;
b) In task 15 - 4 order forms.
To summarize: Order forms can be used to skip tasks that are difficult or uninteresting to you. And most importantly: you can place order forms in the final, fifteenth task in the branch, even if you have not yet completed the previous 14 tasks. Thus, you can instantly obtain the 5th missing component of the machine by completing 4 task branches with honors.
New rewards.
1. Added a new reward - stripes:
a) In each operation you can earn 2 stripes:
* The II degree badge is issued simultaneously with the receipt of the award vehicle;
* The 1st degree badge is awarded for completing all 75 tasks of a specific operation with distinction.
b) For completing all tasks in all operations you receive a special unique patch “Champion of the 1st Campaign”
2. Added a new reward - camouflage schemes:
a) In each operation you can earn a set of 3 (summer, winter, desert) unique camouflage schemes:
* A set of 3 camouflage schemes for a reward vehicle is issued for completing all 75 missions of the operation;
* The same set of circuits is unlocked for use on all vehicles of the same nation as the award vehicle for completing all 75 missions with distinction.
Changing task conditions
The objectives in each operation have been revised to increase the relevance of the main reward. For example, now all tasks from the “StuG IV” operation can be completed on Tier V vehicles, from the “T28 Heavy Tank Concept” operation - on Tier VII, and so on. However, the restrictions on participation have not changed. You can perform the tasks of any operation even at the X level of technology.
We also made it more diverse additional conditions in the final, fifteenth tasks of each branch. This is due to the fact that the additional reward for tasks that complete branches has become more valuable: Order Forms are now located there.
Note! If, according to the conditions of the task, you need, for example, to discover 5 vehicles in a battle, and you discovered 7, obviously, the task will be successful. This rule is valid for all numerical conditions.
Bonuses and medals
From 9.20.1, when receiving a medal from the “Epic Achievements” and “Battle Heroes” categories, the player will receive additional encouragement in the form of bonds. Bonuses will not be awarded for cumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and may be changed. Read more.
