A couple of changes to items in the garage:

• The "Lightning" and "Fumes" ammunition for Smoky, as well as "Lightning" ammunition for Thunder, were removed from the store as stand-alone items. They will be obtainable from containers. 

We fixed a couple of item rarity mistakes:

• Coatings
  
  • "Steel" - rare
    
  • "Cedar" - common
    
  • "Gold" - rare
    
  • "Polar" - rare
    
  • "Halloween" - legendary
  
  
• Paints
  
  • "Rust" - common
    
  • "Marine" - common
    
  • "Polar" - rare

Bugs fixed:

• The client was crashing upon switching the camera from a player to another in spectating mode;
  
• The client was crashing on the battle end screen (MVP screen) if the MVP player was wearing certain paints. 
  
• The description of the Thunder was changed. The line with "maximum damage" was removed and will now say "Damage" and "Damage per pellet". 
  
• The client was not saving the "shadows" settings on Ultra. 

Items gradation according to their rarity

• Common (are displayed in white) – these are the items that are most frequently found and easier to obtain. These items can be obtained by upgrading weaponry, buying them in your garage or in our in-game store (often for Crystals). Some can be found in containers that you can buy at any time.
  
• Rare – these items have a higher value, are prettier, and are more difficult to obtain. They also cost more in the store or garage and drop less frequently from containers. These items include a majority of items from containers, Steel skins, and ammunition, except for the common and festive ones.
  
• Epic – these are very valuable items and are even harder to obtain. These include:
  
  • Festive items that are usually released on certain celebrations, as standalone or in containers. These can return back to the store shelves only for a limited time;
    
  • XT skins;
    
  • Items that are part of special packs;
    
  • Paints such as Spectre, Canyon, and other glowing ones.
  
  
• Legendary – these are items that are the hardest to obtain, and can only be obtained under certain conditions. They can not be obtained any other way, not even with X-crystals nor real currency. These include:
  
  • Paints such as the Steamultator, Beta Tester, TX: 1 Year, The beginning, Eastern Star, World Cup 2018, Tanki in Moscow, Hero;
    
  • The Hornet Beta skin;
    
  • The Beta Tester ammunition;
    
  • Graffiti such as Arms Race, TX: 1 Year, every seasonal graffiti;
    
  • Other exclusive items that are released only for certain international publishers and audiences.

Item sorting in the garage

• All the graffiti, paints, coatings, and ammunition are now sorted more conveniently:
  
  • items that the player owns, by alphabet;
    
  • items that come with an upgrade, by alphabet;
    
  • items that are available in our store or in containers, by alphabet;
  
  
• Items that are unobtainable, such as the Legendary items, are no longer displayed in the items lists in the garage.

• Changes that were made to the game over the last two months
  
• Development plans
  
• And announcing interesting events that we have planned for July, August, and September.

An overview of the latest changes

We are trying to make the gameplay more versatile and yet easily understandable. Our plans for the near future in terms of balancing consists of gradually changing parameters of turrets and hulls, which should not affect the physics of tanks too much, but should mainly affect the balance positively. One of the main goals of this approach is to allow players the freedom to find interesting combinations of turrets, hulls, and modules, which should either emphasize a specific role, or have a more universal combination. Every change made will be first put to test in our open testing sessions, so stay tuned and participate. Your feedback is very important to us, especially when we’re experimenting with things.

Development plans

Announcements

• Upon using the "Invisibility" module, the player is now fully invisible to enemy players. The player himself, as well as his allies and spectators, can see the shape of his tank even while invisible.
  
  • Hint! Tanks leave trails, those can't go invisible. 
  
  
• We fixed the duration of the "Invisible" module, which was 80 seconds at upgrade levels 5 and 6. 
  
• Hammer no longer shoots immediately after the use of the "Extra Mag" module. The module will still restore the mag to 100% but has a 2 seconds pause between the rounds. 
  
• For turrets such as Freeze, Firebird, Isida, and Ricochet, the "Extra Mag" module will now add additional ammunition upon use as a rule.
  
  • Before the fix, upon use, the module was setting the ammunition level at a certain percent depending on the turret, which meant that it was reducing the amount of ammunition if the module was used while the turret's mag was at 100%. 
  
  
• For turrets such as Shaft, Railgun, Thunder, Smoky, the "Extra Mag" module will highly boost the reloading of their ammunition, by a certain % depending on the turret. 
  
• We've also optimized the newly implemented Laser aim assistant. Players should experience less FPS drops and lags upon using it.
