Commanders, we continue to improve the SB mode for ground vehicle battles. In the upcoming testing session, we have created an updated mechanism for requesting the location of allies, improved as a result of your feedback. We will additionally introduce new respawning points which are better adapted to SB mode.
These features have been already tested in SB mode, following which we considered your feedback and adjusted them accordingly. We plan to test these features for a longer period than usual. Experience the difference and share your opinions with us, and we'll keep an eye on your feedback for future updates!
These changes will be implemented on the 1st of May.
New features
Allies location request. According to the previous test results, activation of this feature won’t be automatic and will require players to push the “Rangefinder” button. This feature will not only be available in the sniper cam, but also when using the binoculars.
Respawn in battle for the respawning points. This feature has also been tested, and received both positive and negative feedback, related mainly to the balance of some vehicles. At this stage of the testing, the proven limits of the respawn points will be enabled, and while we work on adjusting the relevant values, respawn points for some vehicles might change to further improve the balance of teams for different setups.
Terms for the SB mode with the new respawn points feature
The total number of times a player can respawn is 3, and these respawns are shared between ground vehicles and aircraft (for example, 2 ground vehicles, and 1 aircraft).
At the start of each match, players will have 1,000 respawn points. The amount of respawns allowed for members of each team is the same. Players will be able to choose which vehicle to respawn in, depending on the situation of the game session.
You can not earn respawn points during a battle. Everyone will be under these same conditions.
Each vehicle type has its own value in respawn points:
Heavy tank — 450 points (for top setups 300 points).
Medium/light tank — 300 points.
Anti-tank SPG — 300 points (except Ferdinand - 450 points)
SPAA — 250 points.
Bomber — 450 points.
Attacker — 450 points.
Fighter — 300 points.
Fighter with suspended weaponry — 450 points.
Helicopter - 300 points.
Helicopter with ATGM - 450 points.
Respawn limits for specific vehicles have been retained. You will be able to respawn 2 times on the same medium/light tank or SPG, and for a heavy tank, just once. For top setups you will be able to respawn 2 times on each vehicle. The player is able to respawn in any differing ground vehicles but not necessarily in the same one as they just used.
There are no respawn limits for specific aircraft meaning that players are able to respawn in the same vehicle 2-3 times depending on the amount of necessary respawn points. Each time you exit the aircraft for weapon replacement you will spend the necessary amount of respawn points.
