Map Guide: Prokhorovka



Commanders!

Watch the Map Guide video and read all about the Prokhorovka map to discover useful tips and tricks for every vehicle class, insider strategies, and more.

Prokhorovka is popular—especially among SPG players, scouts, and snipers—for its vast open space. The 1,000×1,000-meter landscape has a summer setting and is available for vehicles from Tier IV through Tier X. Key elements that determine the course of action are a road in the west that runs north and south, a ridge in the center, a village in the center to the right of the railway tracks, and an elevated hill area in the southeast. The map is characterized by long stretches of grass, bushes, and trees, with little protection against artillery fire.

Prokhorovka has plenty of opportunities for every playstyle, but a good view range and high accuracy over long distances are definite pluses for dominating the battle.



Generally open terrain featuring a large hill and a railway embankment. Scattered trees provide concealment for tank destroyers. On the offensive, strike against the enemy’s flanks, but don't leave your own flanks unguarded. Artillery enjoy good fields of fire but are still vulnerable to raids by light tanks.

Roll Out for Ukraine



Commanders, this is a big one for us—as a company and as a team.

Here at Wargaming, we love war games, but we loathe war. And this subject has been especially sensitive for us, as we have a whole studio back in Kyiv that works hard to deliver features and events to World of Tanks despite all the terror their country is living through every day. The most notable of their works are Frontline and all parts of the Mirny event, with the third coming out late October.

Over the past year and a half, Wargaming has been contributing to donations to help the Ukrainian civilians, including 1 million dollars donated to medical assistance and equipment during the first week of war and 100,000 dollars donated to the victims of the Kakhovka disaster. Hundreds of our employees have been making donations through their own initiative, launching an internal fundraising campaign and gathering 200,000 euros to purchase ambulance cars for Ukrainian medics. Now, we are inviting you to join us in support of those who have not been spared by the war and launching our biggest charity project yet—WargamingUnited.

Starting today, we are welcoming our community across six of our games—World of Tanks PC, World of Tanks Blitz, World of Tanks: Modern Armor, World of Warships, World of Warships: Legends, and World of Warplanes—to unite around this global initiative. Each game will be featuring special Ukraine-themed bundles with customization elements crafted by the artists at our Kyiv studio. With these time-limited offers, not only will you show your support, but also get valuable in-game content.

From 18/10/2023 till 1/11/2023, Wargaming will donate 100% of the purchase price of each “WargamingUnited” bundle towards Medical Aid via UNITED24, less any chargebacks or refunds, (ii) applicable value added, sales or use taxes, or other similar taxes, (iii) applicable transaction fees of payment service providers and (iv) applicable fees of third-party distribution platforms (e.g. mobile or game console marketplaces).

The bundles will be available from October 18 at 13:00 (UTC+3) until November 1 at 22:00 (UTC+2). You can also visit the WargamingUnited webpage to learn about offers from our sister games.

Let’s unite to support the people of Ukraine!

50TP Resilient bundle



We want to present you 50TP "Resilient"—a well known Tier VIII 50TP Premium heavy tank in unique style. Besides new pattern of coverage in blue and yellow colors you will find a stylish trident emblem as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and a tank name on the side. It will be good for earning credits and train crews or just addition to your collection in the hangar. Together with the tank you will get another camouflage suitable for any vehicle in vibrant Ukrainian official flag colors, and 6 decals as symbols of courage and strength of all Ukrainian society.

The Way of Resilience



This offer is good for everyone who wants to participate and provide support to Ukraine but doesn't need a tank. You will get a camouflage and 9 decals and can put them on any tank you like. Be recognizable on the battlefield!

Join WargamingUnited, commanders!

Halloween 2023: Mirny-13



It’s time to visit Mirny-13 again, Commanders!
For two weeks that include a certain eerie holiday—from October 18 at 08:30 CEST (UTC+2) through November 2 at 07:30 CET (UTC+1)—you will be able to explore the former research town and finally unravel the secrets behind the strange phenomena and the nature of Mirium. During the Mirny: Lost Hope event, new dangers await you, including several new types of enemies and not one but three monstrous bosses. And, of course, the rewards for brave explorers will match the increased challenge, topped off by a brand-new Premium Tier VIII tank!



Event Summary



  • Battles take you back to Mirny-13, an abandoned research town. The contamination by Mirium—a substance with unexplained properties—has entered its next stage. This has had a visible effect on the area and the strange and aggressive entities that dwell there.
  • Before the battle starts, you can choose from three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, or Nightmare. At the beginning of your campaign, you can only choose the Normal difficulty. Winning a battle on Normal will unlock the Hard difficulty. Once you prevail on Hard, the Nightmare difficulty will become available to you.
  • Fight as a team or Platoon of up to five players (Recon Squad) choosing from six specially adapted vehicles. Three of them are available at the start, and you can unlock the rest after completing certain Progression Stages or purchasing special bundles.
  • Combine consumables to empower your vehicle (and those of your allies). Match the gameplay specifics of different tanks and your tactics to increase your chances of survival.
  • Fight a variety of AI-driven armored enemies, each with their own unique behaviors, roles, and attacks.
  • Collect Mirium and deliver it to the special device called Magnus (shown on your minimap) before time runs out.
  • Once Magnus is filled with the required amount of Mirium, you will be teleported to a new Phase. Regardless of the difficulty level, there are four sequential Phases in a battle.
  • The fourth Phase of any Mirny: Lost Hope battle is a boss fight. The Immortal is the ultimate foe on Normal difficulty, and even more formidable enemies with unique abilities and tactics will confront you at the end of Hard and Nightmare difficulty battles.
  • If even a single player makes it to the next Phase, all the destroyed vehicles on the team respawn with 50% of their maximum HP. Survivors’ vehicles start the new Phase with 100% of their maximum HP.
  • At the beginning of each Phase, you will receive a random Anomaly that provides a unique bonus to your vehicle. The effects of Anomalies are not lost if your vehicle gets destroyed. If you make it to Phase 4, you will begin it with four active Anomalies.
  • While advancing through Phases and difficulty levels, you unlock Reels with encrypted information on the latest developments around Mirny-13 and the darkest secrets of this grim place. Decrypt Reels using Keys you obtain playing in the mode.
  • When you decipher a Reel, you also receive various goodies. Decrypting all 15 Reels brings you the ultimate prize: the Obsidian.

Mirny: Lost Hope—Time to Learn the Truth!



Mirny: Lost Hope begins!


October 18 at 06:30 UTC

Briefing Missive



Class: Top Secret
Location: Command HQ
Report to: Colonel Simić, Military Ops Head for Mirny-13


Commander,

The situation in Mirny-13 is dire.

The planned withdrawal of military personnel and equipment from Mirny was performed on schedule, leaving only the science team in the area. Five days later, our scouts registered an energy spike in the ruins of the city: someone or something activated Magnus, spawning a new interdimensional rift. Within minutes, there was a sharp increase in hostile activity in the area, with multiple sightings of new types of anomalies and Mirium-infused armored vehicles. Mirium itself became more agitated, producing rapidly growing crystalline structures. This could be related to personnel in the field reporting severe levels of psychological stress—which they attributed to perceived mental pressure from an external source.

The Command needed not only observations, but also an explanation for what was happening. We believed we could get some from Hope, the head of the science team. Ever since this whole mess started, we tried to establish radio comms with her, but failed. We couldn’t immediately locate her in Mirny, either. Then came new reports—of a young woman walking among enemy tanks unharmed. The machines were obviously aware of her presence, as they reacted to her and modified their behavior after she approached them. The descriptions and photos of the woman matched those of Hope.








Having realized that our best Mirium expert had committed an act of treason, the Command dispatched a special team to arrest Hope. This detachment was led by Captain Martin Novak, a Mirny-13 veteran. Novak’s squad was last seen entering the rift. Communication with them was lost shortly after and hasn’t been re-established as of now.

The special circumstances we’re in require that we deploy our elite units—including your team. You must locate Novak’s squad and assist them in their mission—or take the mission over if the first objective isn’t met. We can assume that you will encounter new threats in the multiple layers of the anomalous area.



Keep your eyes peeled and remain level-headed no matter what. Good luck out there, Commander. You and your squad will need it.

Elite Levels: Show Off Your Experience Before the Battle Even Begins!



Every Commander has their favorite vehicles. They may be fully decorated with progressive decals and have the rarest awards, but you still enjoy playing them as much as you did the very first time. So how can you display your immense experience in these vehicles when they’re already at their best? That’s where the Elite Levels system comes in!

This new achievement system indicates your experience in a particular vehicle. It’s simple: the more experience you have earned in a vehicle, the higher its Elite Level. Let’s see how it works.

Elite Levels: Let the World See Your Wealth of Experience!



Elite Levels don’t provide you with any combat advantages or any additional rewards. Instead, they highlight your wealth of battle experience and let everyone see how well you know your vehicle. They are your personal point of pride and show how much of the most valuable resource—time—you have invested in your favorite vehicles.

The Elite Levels system will be introduced in Update 1.22.1 and only applies to Elite vehicles at Tier V and above. To achieve Elite status in a vehicle, you need to research all its modules and the subsequent vehicle(s) within its Tech Tree branch. After that, all the Combat XP you have earned in this vehicle will count toward the vehicle’s Elite Level.

Don't forget that all Premium and reward vehicles come with Elite status by default.


The main purpose of this system is to be visible to other players, so Elite Levels will be shown as a numerical counter:

  • In the vehicle’s stats


  • In the team panels in battle*


  • On the Platoon screen


*You can adjust the width of team panels to display your preferred Elite Levels visualization in battle.

Progressing Through the Elite Levels



There will be 350 Elite Levels in total. To increase your level, play in any regular in-game mode and battle type, where your Elite vehicles will earn Combat XP. Depending on the amount of Combat XP earned, you will receive special Elite Points. After you earn a certain number of Elite Points, your current level will be updated automatically, and you'll receive a notification in the Garage.


The more battles you play and the more Combat XP you earn, the higher your Elite Level will be. As your level increases, the color and design of the level icon will also change.

You can always check the current Elite Level of any vehicle in the Garage, as well as your progress toward the next level. You can also see your top vehicles with the highest Elite Level values in the Service Record tab.


Your Elite progress is based on all Combat XP previously earned by your vehicles in Random Battles only, minus XP for researching modules to reach Elite status. After Update 1.22.1 goes live, it will only include pure Combat XP earned in battle in any game mode.

Once reached, all Elite Levels are always with you, so you will never lose them.


If you don't want other players to see your current Elite Level, enable the Anonymizer in the game settings.

Get ready to climb the Elite Levels and let everyone see how experienced you are, Commanders!
