Multi Turret Academy news & patch notes

🌴 New Seasonal Event: "Summer Blitz"

• Your Tank Club has received an invitation from the Imperial Grace Academy to hold a friendly match by the seaside! Students are all incredibly excited, and the Commissar will be coming along too... although somehow, it feels like things won't go completely according to plan.
• At the beginning of every mission, you can now choose between: ○ Daily Training Mode ○ Summer Event Mode
• Entering Summer Event Mode costs 3 Day off. As a reward, Lemon Coin income is increased by 100%!

🏖 Brand-new Summer Events

• Summer Event Mode comes with an entirely new set of random events!
• Experience fun stories with the students at the beach while gaining powerful bonuses.
• All random event choices are now displayed as items in the upper-right corner, making it much easier to review what you've chosen and what effects you've gained. If you likes this format, we'll rework the Daily Training random events in the future as well.
• This Summer Event takes place before Zina enrolled at the academy, so poor little Zina won't be appearing this time!

👙 Unlock Swimsuits

• Complete the Summer Event to unlock swimsuit skins for all the characters!
• During the Summer Event, the Beach map will also appear more frequently.

👑 New Boss

• A brand-new Boss from Imperial Grace Academy arrives - "Black Adder"! She is Nora's vehicle, a heavily extended TOG II equipped with four turrets. Even from a distance, her sheer size is intimidating...
• She also comes with an exclusive skill, "Royal Guard": Protected by a squad of three Elite vehicles.
• If you want to defeat the Black Adder, you'll first have to find a way to deal with her loyal Royal Guards! Are you ready for the challenge?

🚙 New Vehicle Arrives!

• "BAD-2" A brand-new amphibious multi-turret armored car! It comes with two turrets, can travel across water, and is even capable of calling in 122 mm off-map artillery strikes!

⭐ New Elite Vehicle

• Keyword descriptions are now displayed in the Contacts and Random Events UI.
• Searchlights no longer prevent the player from attacking.

🚨 New Vehicle Arrives!

• "M3 CDL": A Rank 3 support vehicle equipped with the Canal Defence Light!

• The searchlight has no ammo or reload time, but continuous use causes it to overheat. At dangerous temperatures, it will start burning your crew! (Burn damage can be reduced by Crew Resistance.)
• Turning on the searchlight provides the same effect as headlights: increased vision at night, but reduced Concealment.
• The M3 CDL will also appear in both the Turret Pool and the Ally Pool.

🌙 New Battlefield Environment: Night

• The new Battlefield Environment system has been added! Missions now have a chance to feature random environmental conditions.

• You can now turn your headlights on with the G key.
• Headlights increase your vision at night, but also make you easier for enemies to detect.
