About the test

During this test you will be able to try out the new damage we already described in the development blog.

The new mechanics have been introduced for HE, HEAT, HESH (missiles and shells) and APHE with a TNT equivalent equal or more than 170 grams or g

Sound

The method of sound generation for aircraft cannons and machine guns has been corrected so that the change of fire rate with a gun change in the range of 1000-1600 rpm is now more distinctive by ear (e.g., MG-17 and MG-81).


A mechanism has been created to distinguish hits from a player's weapon to an enemy in the sound mix, and does not change the surrounding sound picture when allies/enemies hit a nearby vehicle. Previously, any hit to a nearby unit decreased the volume of some elements of the mix, which sometimes led to unobvious changes in general volume.

AB is the largest game mode and is more accessible to everyone. It is easier for an RB player to test something in AB than it is for an AB player to test in RB.

Thus for the purpose of initial testing where we dont want split playerbases in two separate versions and simply just testing core mechanics, AB is the most logical choice for that early testing.

The smallest of the 3 playerbases by the largest %?

That makes 0 logical sense for a mode we want to test widely and be open to as many people as possible. Not a minority.

Problem should be already fixed.

We are starting to work on a new game mode for ground vehicles! It features story-driven PvE missions that you will be able to complete with your friends.

The test is available for everyone from 13:00 GMT on the 22nd of March until 13:00 GMT on the 24th of March in the Events and Tournaments tab.

We invite you to try the first 3 missions of the game mode:

Eastern Front 1941 (Poland) - German Pz. III F’s are under the control of players. To participate it is necessary to have one vehicle in the hangar of rank II or above.


Eastern Front 1943

Nothing to do with this topic at all. Please submit a bug report if you think something is wrong. But coming and saying "When will HEAT get fixed" is a really broad, non specific and totally random question.

Please make a bug report, then it can be dealt with there.
