The “Fire and Ice” update brings two new locations to the game - both hot and ice cold! Meet the “Rocky Canyon” designed for aerial battles, and the giant “Arctic” location with two combat zones for mixed battles!.

"Rocky Canyon"

The air battle location “Rocky Canyon” was inspired by the famous American Grand Canyon and the Charyn Canyon in Kazakhstan - amazing natural monuments with an extensive altitudinal zonality. The river in the center of the map is located at the very bottom of the canyon and is surrounded by sandstone cliffs that rise several levels up and turn into a wide plateau.

On the plateau, surrounded by dense forests, two small towns are located to the left and right of the canyon. “Rocky Canyon” will become a location with ...

The tank is very much still work in progress. Armour is made based on a amalgamation of all published and available materials. Not game balance (eg Russian tank has this, therefore X tank must have this).

You need to be aware, that destroying most vehicles doesn't make you best player in ground battles.

Instead of "cruising around like crazy" try to focus on helping team capture point. 1 destroyed enemy vehicle takes 100 tickets from enemy team. Captured point take them much more during next 20 seconds. And if you manage to hold that point with at least one more cap, you will be more useful to your team than best Rambo.

In WT you get points for almost any action you do. As soon as you understand that main goal is to cap points and win battle, your path to be best scoring in leaderboard will be opened
