The second phase of the beta test version 1.0 has already begun! It's time to join him, personally evaluate the changes and help with the update setup. We tell you what to expect.

Hangar. Which Hangar? New animated Hangar!

The hangar has changed significantly. In fact, we simply removed the old stuffy one and suggest you move to an open-air base in the forest. Your cars will now show off in an open camp in the middle of picturesque nature.

Nearby you will see a lot of combat vehicles, among which there will be trophy ones:

• dismantled VII Panther;
• VIII M26 Pershing ;
• VIII T-44;
• VII IS-2.

Tanks are what everyone is used to in the Angara. However, in Update 1.0 there will be something you haven't seen yet!

The crew and technical staff set up camp and are now busy with household chores: someone is walking along the cars, taking advantage of a rare free minute, someone is sitting by the fire, and someone is chopping firewood. People take the atmosphere of the game to a new level.

NOTE: Crew members cannot be interacted with at this time. In the end, they are busy guys, they have a lot of work: preparing for future victories is an important process. Don't distract them!

Closer than ever

In the old Hangar, you could move the camera away from the car by a maximum of 12 meters. Now this distance will increase (enough to see Japan's giant heavy tanks in full, for example).

You will also be able to view the technique with more close range to see details you didn't see before.

If you stay idle in the Garage for a certain time, the camera will begin to circle around the car. You can disable this option or adjust its delay.

Parallax scrolling will also appear in the Hangar (that is, the screen will move with the mouse). If this effect makes you uncomfortable, you can turn it off in the settings.

machine on the stand

In the Hangar you will see the show car in all its glory. It will be located behind the tank you have chosen and will change periodically. You can also see the bench machine in detail.

We ask that you test this functionality and click the Buy button to make sure it works correctly. Don't worry, you don't have to buy anything, funds from your account will not be written off - we will just check this function.

Calm card

Calm. The wind is silent. The graveyard of dead ships chills the soul with silence while the countdown before the battle goes on. And suddenly the engines of the icy vehicles roared, the air began to be torn by the rumble of tank guns, and the grinding of metal and the impact of fragments on the armor seemed to revive the skeletons sea ​​giants. And the wind? He is still silent and watches the endless duel on new map"Calm".

All this awaits you on the atmospheric new map "Calm", which we have all been waiting for for many years. It will take you to the icy wilderness of Scandinavia, where tank battles will take place in the middle of a graveyard of warships. The remains of the once formidable battleships and an aircraft carrier will become an arena for fierce duels.

Sound: feel the melody

New music for World of Tanks was recorded by the Prague Symphony Orchestra and is designed to create a unique atmosphere for each map. Drawing inspiration from all over the world, we composed musical themes, each of which corresponds to a different region. In these compositions there are hidden references to the background of all combat locations. Let's see if you can find them!

WoT: enCore

In update 9.19.1, combat training will be relaunched in the Training Grounds format - an interactive system not only for beginners, but also for those who have been in the game for a long time. The Training Grounds is a step-by-step course that explains the basics of the game from the Garage to tactics and maneuvers.

Today we bring you a brief overview of the new combat training, which will tell you how it will help beginners and what those who want to brush up on their knowledge will find on the Training Grounds. Go!

How to start

If the player has just installed the game client, he will be prompted to take a training session at the Training Ground immediately after logging into the game for the first time. If you have been in the game for a long time, but want to refresh your knowledge, click the button Esc and select "Training Ground" from the menu:

The pace of learning

The Training Ground keeps new players up to date without overwhelming them with information. He talks about each game feature in turn, explaining elements that may be difficult for beginners. The tutorial begins with mastering the basic elements of the game, followed by the Hangar interface with a range of hints explaining how to interact with each of the elements.

After that, players can start mastering tactical maneuvers against bots in a series of four battles:

• During the first battle on the Training Ground, players receive simple control and shooting tasks, as well as tips to help them complete these tasks. Having coped with them, users will earn their first tank and will be able to choose one of three vehicles: T2 Medium Tank, Pz.Kpfw. 35(t) or T-26.

• At the next stage, players get acquainted with the mechanics of auto-aim, aiming at moving targets, as well as shooting in sniper mode. At the same stage, the role of armor is also explained. The training then continues in the Hangar, where players learn to research and buy new modules.

• In the next training battle, players are introduced to the mini-map, the basics of detection and concealment. There they learn that the timely capture of the base can radically change the course of the battle. They will also understand when it is necessary to attack the enemy in the forehead, and when a flank maneuver will be more effective. Then the players enter the Hangar again and receive detailed information about the crew and their skills / abilities available for study. After completing the third stage, the player receives a 100% trained crew, and the commander will learn the "Sixth Sense" skill, informing the player that his car was discovered.
• The fourth part of the training is devoted to equipment. During the battle, the player's car comes under fire. He needs to repair the modules and heal the shell-shocked crew members in order to restore the vehicle's effectiveness in combat. Special hints will show and explain what equipment to use in a given situation. The hangar part of this training phase will explain how to acquire and install equipment, as well as talk about combat missions.

Final test

The training ground culminates in a final challenge that requires the player to use their acquired skills in combat, where the player and 14 allied bots face off against a team of 15 bots. If you can't win the first time, you can always try again. For the successful completion of the final stage, the player will receive 500 and 3 days of Premium Account.

Reward

For the successful completion of the "Training Ground", new players, as well as those who have not completed combat training before, will receive everything they have earned during the training course (two vehicles, 100% crew, experience, credits, gold, and days of premium account). Those who completed the training before the release of 9.19.1 will be able to get to the Training Grounds to brush up on their knowledge.

When creating the Training Ground, we tried to put ourselves in the place of each player in order to discover all the points that may seem incomprehensible. We hope that the new combat tutorial will help you in mastering the game, and we are waiting for your feedback and suggestions. Work on the Training Ground continues, we add new combat missions and hints in the Hangar. Come to the forum and share your impressions!

Video passage of the training ground:

Dear players, on June 23 at 00:05 (UTC) the server of the public test version 9.19.1 was stopped due to technical work. We will announce the completion of the work separately.

Update 9.19.1 Public Test is now live and contains many improvements and new features. Meet them, test them and share your opinion on the forum.

In this release, we've focused on tweaking the basic elements of the game based on your feedback on 9.18. Keep sharing your thoughts on the forum: thanks to the experience gained in battles, your appreciation of the innovations is very important to us. Among other things, this version will also add a new combat training (“Training Ground”) and 13 models of vehicles redesigned in HD quality. And now about everything in order.

balancer

Platoons. Starting with update 9.18, artillery could not be platooned. This limitation was temporary, we introduced it in order to better understand the global changes to the SPG class: to study the impact of the updated artillery on battles and collect your feedback. There were a lot of comments - we analyzed them and the collected statistics and returned the opportunity for self-propelled guns to play in a platoon, limiting the number of artillery to one vehicle per platoon.

Balance within one level in the team's roster. Prior to the release of 9.18, players often complained about the balancer, which brought together teams with significant differences. We decided to deal with this problem step by step, because it cannot be solved at once. In version 9.18, there are much fewer poorly balanced teams, due to the fact that tank destroyers began to be taken into account when collecting teams. Most of the players responded positively to the maximum difference between teams in one vehicle for self-propelled guns, light tanks and tank destroyers.

However, this was not enough to finally resolve the issue with the balancer. For example, Tier X LT in one team was balanced by a light tank Tier VIII in another, and the teams found themselves in unequal conditions.

In Update 9.19.1, this problem will be solved: we have added a new logic for balancing team compositions by vehicle types and platoons within each vehicle tier. Each time, when creating a battle, the matchmaker will strive for the same number of tank destroyers, light tanks, self-propelled guns and platoons for each level. For example, if one of the teams has one tank destroyer in the upper part of the list, two light tanks in the middle of the list, and one self-propelled gun in the lower part of the list, then vehicles on the enemy team should be distributed according to vehicle classes in the same way. However, if picking up vehicles takes too long, the restrictions will be loosened to send players into battle faster.

The sorting of vehicles in the "team's ears" is a "cosmetic" change that will not affect the gameplay, but it will make it easier for you to navigate the battle and plan your own actions before it starts. You can quickly analyze the composition of your own and enemy teams and plan actions for the beginning of the battle. The list starts with heavy tanks. Below are medium tanks, followed by tank destroyers, light tanks and self-propelled guns. Machines belonging to the same type are sorted by name. First come the names, starting with numbers, then written in Latin, and then in Cyrillic.

"Training Ground"

In the coming versions, new learning functionality will be added, which we will introduce in several stages, starting with update 9.19.1. In this version, the "Training Ground" will be available. Later we plan to introduce other additional learning elements.

The first stage of the tutorial introduces beginners to the basic mechanics of the game in a series of four tutorial battles. They explain the basics of the game and tactics in the form of hints. different cards and situations in combat. To make the process go smoothly, the "Training Ground" gradually introduces the players to the interface of the Hangar.

At the same time, the player is shown a clear sequence of actions in preparing the vehicle for battle. First, he learns the basics: learning and buying vehicle modules, driving vehicles, shooting, types of ammunition, inflicting critical damage, crew training, equipment and equipment operation. Throughout the learning process, the user receives detailed information about the elements that are most relevant at the current stage.

The training culminates in the final task - a full-scale 15 vs 15 battle, in which the player, along with 14 bots, opposes an enemy team of 15 bots. These are not ordinary bots - we have worked much deeper into their logic.

Combat training is not only training: players will also receive credits, experience, equipment, equipment and days of premium account. Upon completion of the training, new users will receive 500 - this is enough, for example, to repeatedly dismantle equipment.

NOTE: "Training Ground" is also available for experienced players. However, only new players will receive the resources provided for completing it. If you have previously completed "Combat Training" and received a reward for it, there will be no accruals for completing the "Training Ground".
Changes in LBZ conditions

In Update 9.19.1, the conditions of some Personal Missions will change. After the improved balancer was introduced, it became much more difficult to execute them. We took your feedback into account and changed the terms and conditions to match the current realities of the game. Thank you for your help!

List of changes of the common test 9.19.1 in contrast to version 9.19

Polish nation

The Tier VI Polish premium medium tank Pudel has been added to the game. From the description of the machine: “The machine is an example of the most massive modification of the German Panther tank-Pz.Kpfw. V Panther Ausf.G. Two German tanks Panther Ausf.G. were captured by the Poles on August 2, 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. The rebels applied national colors and other emblems to the vehicles, which is a distinctive element of the tank in the game. The tank became known by the nickname "Poodle" (in the original Pudel).

In 1994, a training ground was transferred from the Mikhailovsky educational farm to the territory of the Field Experimental Station for practical training in tractors and agricultural machines for students of all faculties of the academy. Acting as part of the Field Experimental Station, it allows future specialists to master machine technologies for cultivating field crops, to gain practical skills in the operation and maintenance of agricultural machinery. As part of additional education, students and everyone who wishes can be trained under the training program for tractor drivers of categories “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”.

Together with State Inspectorate for the supervision of the technical condition of self-propelled machines and other types of equipment in Moscow, the employees of the Training Ground organize an exam for obtaining permission to drive self-propelled machines and obtain a tractor driver-driver certificate.

The exam for the right to drive self-propelled machines is carried out in the following sequence:

1. theoretical exams - on the safe operation of self-propelled machines and on the rules traffic;

2. comprehensive exam - on practical driving of self-propelled vehicles, safe operation of vehicles and traffic rules.

Theoretical examination is conducted by means of a survey on tickets approved by the Glavgostekhnadzor of Russia. The knowledge shown by the examinees during the exam is assessed according to the "passed" - "failed" system. The "passed" mark is given if the examinee answered correctly 7 questions out of 8 (Safe operation) and 8 questions out of 10 (Rules of the road) correctly in the allotted time. Otherwise, the mark "failed" is set.

Persons who have not passed the theoretical exam are not allowed to take the practical exam. A re-examination is scheduled no earlier than 7 days later.

The practical exam consists of two stages:

1. on a site closed from traffic;

2. in simulated traffic conditions.

The first stage of the practical exam includes the following examination tasks: see TASKS AND SCHEMES. Exam tasks are performed by the examinee individually. The sequence of performing the tasks provided by the complex for a specific category of self-propelled vehicle is determined by the examiner. The first stage of the practical exam is ultimately assessed according to the "passed" - "failed" system. The final mark is set on the basis of marks for the performance of all tasks provided by the complex for a particular category of self-propelled vehicles.

The second stage of the practical exam, depending on the possible number of routes, the number of examiners and examinees, is carried out in two ways:

1. several examinees alternately travel on the same route;

2. Several test takers are traveling on different routes at the same time.

Routes and the sequence of tasks in the process of moving along the route are determined by the examiner. The second stage of the practical exam is assessed according to the "passed" - "failed" system.

To assess the exam, a list of typical errors is used, which are divided into gross, medium and minor. In accordance with this classification, penalty points are awarded for each error:

for rough - 5, medium - 3, small - 1. The mark passed is set if the examinee did not make mistakes or the amount of penalty points for the mistakes made was less than 5. The mark "failed" is set if the sum of penalty points is 5 or more.

Training grounds and educational training centers (UTCs) are integral part educational and material base used for practical training of students. The following learning tasks are solved here:

study of battle formations and placement of military equipment, weapons in real conditions;

instilling practical skills in combat work both as part of individual numbers and as part of crews; increasing field and tactical skills, acquiring skills in managing units, elements of weapons;

study of the organization of operation of equipment and weapons, instilling skills in preventive and maintenance work, troubleshooting and troubleshooting; instilling the skills of military service in accordance with the regulations of the Armed Forces of the USSR;

familiarization with the organization of military service.

The planning of classes at training grounds and training centers is carried out in accordance with military training programs and thematic plans of military departments.

Organizationally, training grounds and training centers can be special divisions of military departments or training divisions of military units and military educational institutions allocated by orders of commanders of formations (associations) to provide practical training for students in the relevant military specialties.

To solve all the tasks set, the training grounds of the military departments are equipped with combat training equipment and weapons in accordance with the approved tables. All elements of the training ground (training fields, classrooms, auditoriums, hangars, military equipment parks, barracks, administrative buildings, etc.) are equipped in strict accordance with military regulations, instructions and guidance services. The organization of the educational process and the duties of officials at the training ground are regulated by the "Regulations on the training ground of the military department", approved by the rector of the university. The “Regulations” indicate the goals and objectives of the landfill, the procedure for organizing classes, services and life of students, the functional duties of the landfill officials, the procedure for accounting, storage and operation of the material part and transport, etc.

The general management of the training ground is entrusted to the head of the military department. For direct management of the activities of the range, the head of the range is appointed from among the officials of the military department provided for by the staffing table (for example, the head of the department of educational equipment and training equipment can be appointed head of the range). All persons of training and support personnel that are part of the training laboratory of the training ground are subordinate to him. The head of the range is responsible for maintaining combat training equipment and weapons in good condition, carrying out the necessary preventive work on them, material support training sessions, compliance with the regime and internal regulations, organization of life and life of the test site employees and students who arrived at practical classes, compliance with safety and fire safety.

The personnel of the training laboratory of the training ground prepares equipment and weapons for classes, conducts a complex of all types of maintenance and routine maintenance, repairs equipment, participates in the development and manufacture teaching materials, takes part in conducting practical classes with students.

Educational and methodical guide educational process at the training ground is carried out by one of the chiefs of the cycle, appointed by order of the head of the military department for the period of student training. He is responsible for the implementation of the curriculum, the methodological training of teachers, the organization and conduct of classes with students, and the conduct of political and educational activities. The head of the collection and all teachers allocated for the collection of students are subordinate to him.

Organizationally, classes at the training ground can be held in the form of training camps lasting from one to six days (“military day” or “military week”). To this end, for each semester, the military department develops a training schedule for students to go to the training ground, agreed with the educational departments of the faculties and approved by the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the university.

For the period of training camps at the training ground, students are in the barracks. Their life and way of life are strictly regulated by the regulations of the Armed Forces of the USSR. When leaving for the training ground, students can change into a special uniform (overalls, suits of construction teams, jackets, etc.), either issued for the duration of the training camp, or assigned to students for the entire period of military training.

Classes of students are held as part of training platoons, half-platoons or separate calculations. Before the start of classes, a mandatory safety briefing is carried out with a note in the briefing logs.

Completion of the training camp at the training ground, as a rule, is carried out by the acceptance of tests for practical training and acquired military skills.

In the absence of their own training grounds, practical training of students of military departments can be organized on the basis of training centers (UTCs) of military units. To this end, the commanders of formations (associations) issue directives on the organization of training centers in military units that have the appropriate profile of military training military equipment and weapons. As a rule, such training centers should have a convenient transport connection with the military department.

Responsibility for the material support of classes, accommodation and meals for students at the training center rests with the commander of the military unit. By his order, the head of the training center is appointed from among his deputies or unit commanders. The duties of the head of the training center include planning the work of the center, preparing for the classes of the material part, assigning practical training instructors and organizing their methodological training together with the teachers of the military department, ensuring safety, regime, etc.

Classes at the training center are organized, as a rule, by one-day trips of training platoons in such a way as to ensure high-quality training of educational issues as part of small calculations (2-3 students at each workplace).

The military department in advance (no later than 1 month) sends to the military unit the necessary educational documentation, lists of students indicating the order of submission of platoons by day of the week, student workbooks. The head of the training center, together with the dedicated teachers of the department, develops the daily routine, class schedule, schedules for the order of shifts at the workplace, and a logistics plan. Classes on the material part in accordance with the instructions of higher authorities are provided with additional allocation of motor resources and material and technical means.

The commander of a military unit, in exceptional cases related to ensuring combat readiness, has the right to transfer classes to the training center, of which the military department is notified in advance.

At training grounds and training centers, training issues should be worked out in conditions as close as possible to the real situation modern combat, including in the conditions of the use of weapons by the enemy mass destruction as well as in other difficult conditions. All this teaches students to act proactively in a difficult situation, contributes to the education in them of the moral and psychological qualities necessary for an officer.

RAU training ground (now the Rostov Military Institute missile troops). Even despite its abandoned state, it still remains part of the institute. Here exercises, firing and maneuvers were carried out by students of the institute and the military. On the territory there are many warehouses, hangars, watchtowers, a huge number of training grounds, a large dining room and several barracks for students to live. This and more inside:

RAU training ground (now the Rostov Military Institute of Missile Forces). Even despite its abandoned state, it still remains part of the institute. Here exercises, firing and maneuvers were carried out by students of the institute and the military. On the territory there are many warehouses, hangars, watchtowers, a huge number of training grounds, a large dining room, several barracks for students, three administrative and educational buildings. There is also a shooting range bordering the same on the territory of the MVD unit. Around a huge number of training bunkers imitating military installations and much more. Let's look at the polygon in more detail.

If you approach the object from the western side, the first thing that comes across on the way is a fenced field on which concrete trenches are made, as well as a tank and armored personnel carriers for various exercises, standing right in the field.

a fenced field with a huge number of training bunkers, ditches and several types of equipment:

The first technique that met us in the field was the T-54 tank - it was exported and is in service in many countries, it was used in most post-war local conflicts. The tank became known for its superior reliability and simplicity, highly praised by many experts. Throughout Afghan war the main tanks in the OKSVA tank divisions were the T-55 and T-62. Despite the availability of a sufficient number of more modern and powerful tanks at that time and the constant modernization of light armored vehicles in motorized rifle and airborne units OKSVA, its tank fleet remained unchanged throughout the 9 years of the war, which was due to the lack of modern tanks in the units Soviet army on the southern borders USSR and a limited number anti-tank weapons from the Mujahideen:

all the insides of the tank, of course, have long been stolenwe are marauders:

the muzzle is friendly directed at our hometown, it remains to be hoped that such a picture will only be during the exercises:

The second combat vehicle turned out to be the BTR-60, which also had the official, but much less common designation BTR-60P - the Soviet armored personnel carrier. It was created in 1956-1959 to equip motorized rifle units and replace the outdated BTR-152 in them, from which it differed by significantly improved cross-country ability, which allowed it to follow tanks on the battlefield, and the ability to swim. The BTR-60 was mass-produced, repeatedly modernized, from 1960 to 1967 at the Gorky Automobile Plant, then at the Kurgan Wheel Tractor Plant (KZKT) until 1987; in total, according to various sources, from 10,000 to 25,000 cars were produced. It was also produced under license in Romania, under the designation TAB-71.

It was the main armored personnel carrier of the Soviet motorized rifle units in the 1960s, in the 1970s-1980s it was mainly superseded by the BTR-70 and BTR-80. applied Soviet troops in a number of armed conflicts, including the Afghan war. It was supplied both by the USSR and Romania to dozens of other countries, was used in many regional conflicts and, despite the gradual replacement of more modern technology, for 2007 is still in service with approximately 47 states:

Before entering the territory of the landfill, we will go around it, where many other interesting things were found. Passing through dense thickets, these concrete training trenches were found, into which I almost fell:

There are also a huge number of underground buildings. The first of them, inside which a small surprise awaited us:

Near the main entrance to the landfill there is a former canteen "outdoors":

On the territory of the training ground, underground training fortifications were noticed:

Due to the thick grass, some entrances to our "dungeons" were invisible, so we had to move around the training ground with extreme caution:

Already behind the landfill stood a concrete ring placed on the ground, there is a lot of garbage inside, and on the left you can see an earthen rampart, there was a small ditch. Perhaps this ring was an imitation of a pillbox or some other training layout:

It's time to look at the landfill itself, for this we will go through the main entrance:

A huge number of buildings and hangars inside at first struck, but there was practically nothing left inside them, some of them are still closed:

small garages that are still closed. There may still be some interesting things in them:

And here is the watchtower, the view from which was very beautiful - since the tower was located on a small hillock, but more on that later:

Since the landfill, according to some information, has not been used for a long time, some hangars have already managed to be pulled apart in pieces:

Many sports grounds with various obstacles:

After successful completion obstacle course, we advance to three identical buildings standing along the road, looking into a large hangar along the way. The doors to it were welded, but inside there was nothing but mountains of desks and chairs:

Since the next 2 buildings were almost identical, let's look into one of them. Perhaps these buildings served in the past for housing students or warriors:

nature is gradually taking its toll here too:

lonely and empty stairwells:

Tired of the monotony, let's go outside to look at the canteen of the landfill. Along the way, noticing the remains of cars and a destroyed electrical substation:

several administrative buildings of the landfill:

In one of them was found this interesting date, scratched into a piece of concrete. Some message from the former inhabitants of the test site:

Finally, we are in the dining room, which turned out to be very spacious and bright. Despite her complete abandonment, she remained quite pleasant:

food outlets:

At the end of our journey, we will look at the observation tower to inspect the territory we have passed, but already from a height.

general view of the polygon:

various unfinished buildings on the territory:

beautiful view of Rostov-on-Don:

Inside the watchtower, various inscriptions of former RAU soldiers and students were noticed:

That's all, thanks for your attention.
