The menu will now display both the turret and the hull in one window, allowing you to also see your presets and configure any of them.
To install modules, simply drag any of them into an empty slot, or double click on a module, it will automatically install it into the first available slot.
Clicking on a module icon, will display its characteristics and description.
Upon hovering over the upgrade module button, you can now see how much will the upgrade improve both your tank and your module.
New post battle statistics window
At the end of a battle, the MVP of the match will be put at display for everybody to see.
The post battle statistics and reward windows, have become more detailed and convenient to use.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue in which the first installed mine didn't disappear after the third one was installed.
We're expecting potential server restarts due to additional bug fixing, today.

Winter Holidays in Tanki X!
Hey, tankers!
Our entire development X team wishes you a Merry Christmas!
Holidays are coming to Tanki X, and that means that we're going to have surprises and awesome events. The celebration this year, has started on December 25th, 2017, and will last until January 9th, 2018.
Winter Holiday Season
December 25th, 2017 - January 9th, 2018
Our next ranked season will be a bit more special than the normal season and it will last only two weeks. At the end of this season, every player to have played ranked during this period will receive "New Year 2018" containers and special graffiti.
The container contains the following items:
New paint “Orion” that glows in the dark;
New paint “Antarctica” that has a cool relief;
New graffiti that symbolize the upcoming new year: “Bull Terrier”, “Bulldog”, and “Doberman”’
The “Frozen” ammunition for Twins and Ricochet;
Very rare skins called “Frost” for Wasp and Freeze
The container will also be obtainable in our in-game store.
During the celebration, the “Gold Box” drop rates will be increased. Catching them will allow you to play ranked more often, hence, help you earn more containers.
“Battle for the Tank Carrier” - In-game Event!
This is your chance to influence history!
Watch the Trailer https://youtu.be/3sxtCW374ss
Today, we release the long-awaited new Tanki X map called "Repin". Watch the video below to learn more about the map.
Frontier's attack on the Antaeus' tank carrier will last for a few days and will most probably conclude on December 31. After that, we will check every ranked battle played on this map and will decide the winner.
In order to participate in this battle, you must:
Pick a side - buy and equip one of the two graffiti, each representing a faction: Antaeus and Frontier respectively. It's time to represent!!
Battle your opponent until December 31st, 2017, in ranked battles on the new map called the "Repin".
The main deciding indicator will be the number of destroyed tanks. The faction with the most tanks destroyed will win.
The new map will forever remain in the game. But, depending on the results of this event the following things will happen.
In an update in January, we will customize the map with the symbols of the winning faction.
This will be a historic moment and the lore of the game will be rewritten.
Additionally, this battle will help sponsor a special 5 days event, from January 2nd to 6th, 2018, in which both the funds and experience gained in battles will be increased by 50%.
The "Spectre" Paint
One of the most important events that come with today's update is the release of the first animated paint.
The "Spectre" paint is a unique paint that will smoothly change color every other 3 seconds. Players will receive this paint as a bonus, upon buying the 2250 X-crystals package in our in-game store.
A couple of animated paints will be given away during the "Contest Avalanche" final raffle that will be Live on January 10th, during our Livestream.
Deals and Bonuses
Upon buying X-crystals during promotional days, you will receive double the amount.
During this celebration, a number of promotional days are scheduled to take place.

Patch Notes 15.12.2017 - General Chat
General chat:
The icon that will open the general chat is in the bottom left corner of the main menu.
The general chat also allows you to chat in squads and in private.
Clicking on a player's nickname in the general chat will open a private message tab. The same works for players in your friend's list.
Additionally, you can private message a player, by writing the command "/w Nickname" then enter or space, that will open a private message tab.
The squad chat will become available once you are in or have created a squad.
The chat has a swear filter, however, you can block a player and don't see his messages again. Unfortunately, for now, you can only block players in battle, but we will soon have this function implemented in the general chat as well.
Rules:
We want to remind you about the Rules of the general chat. It shares the same the forum, social media, discord, and the battle chat does. We would like to ask you to avoid spam, offensive language, offensive behavior towards other players, and flood. Please respect your fellow tankers.
The chat has a swear filter, however, you can block a player and don't see his messages again. Unfortunately, for now, you can only block players in battle, but we will soon have this function implemented in the general chat as well.
We would like to ask you, if possible, use the function above before reporting or complaining about a player.
You can report chat violators in this DEDICATED TOPIC on our Forum. Please attach a screenshot with proof, to your report.
Balance Changes
These changes were made earlier this week.
Freeze turret damage was reduced from 540-760 to 485-685;
EMP wave radius was reduced from 25-30-35 to 20-25-30;
The cooling effect of the Temperature Block module was increased from 2-4 %/sec to 4-6%/sec.

Contest Avalanche!
What is "Contest Avalanche"? It is a marathon or a chain of contests, in which you can not only win but get magical snowflakes for participating.
Why do you need snowflakes?
The snowflakes create a common prize fund - each snowflake adds 10 X-crystals to the fund.
On January 10th, 2018, 10 players will be randomly drawn to split the prize fund among them.
If you have earned at least 1 snowflake, you are already a participant. Each snowflake will earn you one additional entry to the final draw. The more snowflakes you earn, the better chances you will have at winning.
Every other day, we will have a contest announced on one of our social media platforms or forum.
What type of contests will we have?
Winter X Fan Art (starts today)
Tanki Training Master (guide contest)
The Winter Writer (writing contest)
The CGI Masters (screen editing contest)
The Winter Ladder Challenge (the traditional ladder in-game challenge)
Catch Santa (see Santa, screen Santa + something more)
Greetings, tankers! Today, we’ll be telling you about the recent and future updates. We’ll also be telling you a bit about the contests that we are planning to run during the winter holidays. Let’s go!
Squads
Last week, we released one of the long-awaited features, Squads. The development of this feature lasted about 2 months and it has affected many other features of the game such as matchmaking and interface. In order to fix issues that can’t be tested in an offline environment, the development team released the feature a bit earlier than planned.
This has surfaced a number of bugs related to the functionality of this feature and issues with the balance of squads in battles. We will continue to work on fixing them.
We also had a few technical difficulties during last weekend. For a couple of hours, our players couldn’t connect to the game servers.
The main issues are now fixed. Those who were unable to play Tanki X during last weekend, can make up for those hours during the upcoming weekend. On December 9th and 10th, we will be increasing the rates for experience points earned in battles! Additionally, we would like to thank players that are reporting issues and bugs on our Echo support site. This allows us to resolve any problem with the game, in record time.
Battle Interface
Floating text in battles
New elements were added to the battle interface last week.
These new elements represent text feedback of your actions, such as points for healing allies, points for delivering and returning the flag, as well as points for killing enemies and assisting a kill in a battle.
Please share your opinion about the updates we released last month in the regular survey that we create and send to our players at the end of every month. The link is in the description.
CTF Indicators
Almost a week ago, we added indicators for the location of each flag base as well as flag location when the flag is being carried. It should now be much easier for the newcomers to find their way around in this mode, especially if they’re unfamiliar with our maps.
Tank Destruction Physics
We’ve made progress on the destruction physics of more skins as well. The First line of skins, just like the standard one, now has a cool destruction animation. If you set your graphics settings to medium or higher and you equip a skin from the 0 (Zero) or I (One) skin line, upon being destroyed, your tank will scatter into pieces, in a very cool way.
Daily Bonuses
We added a teleportation effect to the daily bonuses submenu.
Additionally, when teleporting a container, or getting the last needed container shard, the "Claim the reward" button will transform into the "Claim the container" button. Pressing the button will automatically take you to the container section of the store, where you can open the container. Upon exiting the game, you will now be notified about the rewards that will be available for teleportation the next day.
New Modules Menu
The work on improving the interface of the game is going according to our plan. Next, is the modules menu.
Our plan is to simplify the process of installing modules on turrets and hulls. In order to install a module, you will need to either drag and drop it in the slot or double-click the module.
But that’s not all. Upon hovering over the upgrade button with the mouse cursor, you will see how much the upgrade will improve the characteristics of your turret or hull, as well as the module itself. Clicking on the question mark will show detailed information about the module.
You will be able to equip the module on any of your presets, in the same menu.
Oh, and by the way, we are designing 3D models for the modules. They will look similar to the current blueprints that drop from containers.
Plans
Coming up, in December, our development team will continue working on improving the matchmaking system, the ranking system, and the interface. They will also be getting ready for a very important release this month. The next episode of our developer’s diary will be released closer to New Year’s Eve. During this period of time, we’re planning on running two live stream events. If you don’t want to miss any of them, always check our website for news and follow us on our social media pages.
Contests
Christmas and the New Years are drawing close! The first round of contests is scheduled to already start next week. We highly recommend you to participate! Why? We’re running a huge X-crystals holiday raffle, just like last year. Participating in this contest will not only increase the fund of this raffle but will also earn you special points. The higher the number of points, the higher the chance of getting awesome prizes in the holiday raffle. Winners will be announced on January 9th.
We will have a lot of contests of many tastes. We will tell you more about them in the announcement next week.
That’s it for today, guys! Subscribe to our channel and like our video.
Attention! The title of this article, in low case, no spaces, no symbols, and "en" at the end, is a promo code.

Bug fixes
Here are a number of other issues that we fixed during the last couple of days:
Vulcan will overheat as before, even with a Temperature block installed. Additionally, Temperature block will no longer save your tank from burning after a Firebird attack.
We fixed a big because of which, some of the players were unable to enter a battle with a squad, or a solo match after a battle with a squad.
We removed the bots from high ranking battles.
We fixed a bug that wasn't letting some players claim their daily reward.

Tanki X: November Updates
Greetings, tankers!
Last month, we released a couple of important updates. Let’s recap the main changes that happened in Tanki X in November 2017.
The Squads feature has been released. You can finally play Tanki X with your friends;
We added a new type of daily activity, called daily bonuses;
We added new effects in battles, that will let you know when an enemy tank is shooting at you, or when you have low health points;
The battle interface now shows how many points you get for solo or assist kills, flags captured or returned, and healing allies;
The end of Season 1 and the start of Season 2, with improvements and new rewards.
If you've already seen and checked out these changes, we're inviting you to take this special survey and help us improve the game even more.
When teleporting a container, or getting the last container shard, the "Retrieve reward" button will transform into the "Retrieve container" button. Pressing the button will automatically take you to the container section of the store, where you can open the container.
We added teleportation effects
We added a window with notifications about the rewards you will be able to teleport the next day.
Bug fixes:
There was a bug that was allowing players to install 2 identical modules on the same preset. This was preventing tankers from entering battles.
Some players were experiencing issues with retrieving the reward from daily bonuses.
We continue working on bug fixing and matchmaking.
Thank you for your patience and help by reporting issues and bugs.
