Continuing the transfer to an economy based on vehicle rank
In the February update we began the transfer to an economy based on vehicle ranks which has been chosen by most of the players. As a reminder, this transfer requires several smoothed economy updates. We are currently releasing the second of these and the transfer isn’t yet complete.

Helicopter AB
In the “Wind of Change” update we have started testing the new arcade PvE mode for helicopters and since then we have been collecting your feedback and making adjustments to it. At present we can say that it has become the main arcade game mode for helicopters - the PvP mode is played by an order of magnitude fewer players. It is important to note that the PvE mode uses a system of rewards for useful actions and the player’s vehicle life there is noticeable higher than in PvP which leads to a noticeable difference in the calculated economy indicators relative to the past obtained only for PvP mode. The systematic reward in SL and the increased longevity make the PvE mode similar to aircraft SB, so the economy parameters of helicopters in AB will be closer to those of aircraft in SB.

Due to the high popularity of the PvE mode we decided to completely replace the PvP mode with it - take it from the Test Event section, include the recording of statistics in player stats and disable the PvP mode. This will happen simultaneously with the release of the economy update.

Changes to the research cost, purchase and related parameters for some vehicles

Do you mean in the previous BR changes edition?

Didn't read all changes, excuse me if it has already been addressed.

Could you clarify what you mean?

Originally posted by xCrossFaith: PvE with similar rewards to SB? Sounds too good to be true but if that's the case then it's a great change!

Yep! Similar.

Can you clarify what you mean / be constructive? Thanks :)
