Update 5.7

 

In Update 5.7, we focused on improving vehicle characteristics and increasing gun handling parameters for researchable Tier I–IV vehicles. These changes slightly affected Tier V vehicles as well. Now, the М4 Sherman causes a little less damage, and the T-34 penetrates enemy armor better. Based on your feedback, we also made minor changes to the technical characteristics of the FV215b (183). 

 

Moreover, we increased the ammunition capacity for some vehicles. Thus, the Cruiser Mk. II, Renault R35, D2, and BT-7 will run out of shells more rarely, and it's now much easier to equip the VK 72.01 (K) with different types of shells. Furthermore, four tanks were renamed and some Premium vehicles were given Collector vehicle status.

What are you doing to reduce the ping and lag issues users are continually experiencing? This is by far the biggest issue with the game and needs immediate attention but I don't see anything being done about it.

[Rinskiev]

I agree with the last comment: I now often have ping problems to the point I cannot do anything. Some times it is really bad. In one occasion one person raged at me saying I was doing this "on purpose". A bit silly if you look at my stats but understandable. I was unhappy and my team was unhappy. When I see this happening in the red team and we win I am not specially happy since we didn't win because of our merit but because of others' troubles

We don't disclose such data.

Guys have you tried to contact support center? The reasons of such troubles can be various and diagnostics made by support can find out what's happening.

[SaltyMuppet]

What a completely useless update. Pretty much all relates to tiers 1-4 which no one gives a flying **** about.

[SaltyMuppet]

As for ping I can tell you what’s happening... if you live in Aus the packets travel to mars and back.

Permanent enrichment removed from M7. What compensation is given for removal of permanent enrichments as I have spent a lot on enriching tanks?

If you have enriched M7, it will stay enriched after update. 

 

 

[BossArdnutz]

What does it mean then?

Awesome thanks for that info.

[SaltyMuppet]

Can any light be shed on Warrior Path event please.

[__Grifter__]

Bit miffed that they have nerfed the damage of the M4 Sherman - was perfectly balanced if you ask me. It was the only thing capable of 'almost' giving as good as it gets against the swath of Scavengers down there. 

[SaltyMuppet]

I agree M4 was in no way in need of a Nerf of any kind.

Means you will no longer be able to enrich an M7 in 5.7

 

Previously enriched M7 stayed enriched after the update - confirmed from colleague.

Very odd really, it is only the 10th best performing MT in tier 5 in terms of both average WR and damage per battle. 

[SaltyMuppet]

Any more news on Warriors Path event dates?? I am looking everywhere and finding nothing?

 

Strange the info on it has been removed from 5.7 patch notes.

 

1 major gripe... Avatars, theses need to come with something of value or they are just a way to reduce giving boosters etc.
