By the way, "Where are the Platoons?"

We’ve seen this question way too often. It’s been haunting us all these long years, but now we are ready to officially answer: right now!

This is the long-awaited co-op mode (Group Battles / Platoons) that allows you to squad up with friends right in the Hangar, so you can join battles together on the same team and fight side-by-side against your opponents.

How it works:

• Form a group in the Hangar via the chat menu or friends list and hit "To Battle".

• You are guaranteed to spawn in the same match on the same team.

• Your squad stays intact after the match! No need to re-invite friends after every game — you return to the Hangar together, ready for the next fight.

Group Battles (Platoons) Replace Custom Games: We’ve reviewed our game modes and completely retired the cumbersome "Custom Game" mode. It has been replaced by a faster, sleeker, and fully integrated Group Battles (Platoons) feature.

Updated Friends & Social System

• Dedicated Friends Button in Chat: Managing your buddy list is now easier than ever! We’ve added a dedicated "Friends" button in the chat menu for instant access to all social features.

• Real-Time Player Statuses: You can now see live status updates for your friends — whether they are online, already in a match, or ready to squad up in the Hangar.

• Two-Way Friend Requests: Adding friends now sends a formal request that requires confirmation from the recipient — no more unwanted or accidental additions to your list.

• Instant Squad Invites: You can now invite players to your group/platoon in a single click directly from your Friends list or the chat context menu!

Auto-Zoom Overhaul

What is this feature: An intelligent camera assistant that automatically zooms in on targeted enemy tanks, making it easier to land long-range shots and track moving targets.

Improved Based on Your Feedback: Thanks to our community playtests, we’ve rebalanced auto-zoom behavior based on player feedback. The system is now much smoother and more predictable: it no longer blocks your view in close-quarters combat or interferes with leading shots on moving targets.

Flexible Settings:

• By default, auto-zoom is enabled only for Aim / Sniper mode (and can be fully toggled off in the settings menu).

• For 3rd-person view, auto-zoom is turned off by default, but can be enabled separately in your settings.

Complete PC Controls Overhaul:

• Mouse wheel zooming now features silky-smooth interpolation (no sudden jumps or jerks).

• Aiming sensitivity now dynamically adjusts to your zoom level — no more crosshair overshooting on long-distance targets.

Performance & Stability Overhaul

• Fewer Crashes: Updated ad provider SDKs and fine-tuned device compatibility filters, significantly reducing unexpected crashes and freezes.

• Faster Startup & Reduced App Size: Removed outdated technical plugins to shrink the app size and improve initial loading times.

• Smoother Gameplay: Optimized UI complexity and AI movement logic to eliminate micro-stutters during heavy combat encounters.

• Preloaded Audio: Music tracks now load seamlessly in advance, eliminating audio hitches during transitions and loading screens.

• Background Pause Fix: Redesigned app pause logic to fix game freezes when switching to background mode or receiving calls.

• Clearer Sniper View: We've done a lot of work to optimize in-scope visual effects. Massive smoke, fire, and explosion effects will no longer block your view in zoom mode or cause FPS drops.

Tank Model Overhauls

What changed: We’ve completely updated and detailed the 3D models for the following vehicles, making them look even more realistic: VT-4 MBT-3000, BMT-4, B1 Centauro, Cheyenne MZ51, T18 Pesets, Leopard 1A5, and M41DK1.

Useful Loading Screen Tips

What changed: Waiting for a battle is now time well spent! Map loading screens now feature helpful visual tips about key tactics and hidden mechanics (like getting the most out of stealth modules or properly using consumables in battle).

New Languages

The game has been fully localized into 6 new languages: Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Thai, Czech, and Ukrainian!

Update the game, gather your faithful comrades into a platoon right in the Hangar, and jump in to experience the changes yourselves. We wish you great battles and look forward to your feedback!

🚀 Turbo Delivery: The logistics team strapped jet engines to the supply crates. Now, fresh AP shells will be delivered to you in just 1 hour. (Let's just hope the courier doesn't explode on the way).

Commanders! The front has gone silent, but true peace never arrived. Meet the new Battle Pass — Season 24: After the Armistice. We return to the very places where guns recently roared.

🏆 Main Reward — The AT-720 "Scavenger" Tank

This machine returned to service not by the manual, but out of grim necessity. Featuring welded patches, slat armor, captured gear, and the scars of past hits. This is a tank for a brutal new world, where survival belongs not to the most advanced, but to the most resilient.

Key Changes in the New Update:

Matchmaker Optimization:

We have updated our matchmaking algorithms to create more balanced battle sessions. The system now more accurately accounts for your vehicle's maximum power, ensuring a level playing field for all participants and eliminating severe team power imbalances.

End-of-Battle Freeze Fix:

A critical bug causing the game to freeze on the "Victory" or "Defeat" screens has been resolved. All battles now conclude properly, and your earned currency, XP, and resources are safely saved to your account with no risk of loss.

Instant Game Login:

We have significantly speeded up the authorization process when launching the app. The game now features "smart memory"—it instantly finds the most stable and fastest path to the server, bypassing unnecessary checks. Less time spent waiting on loading screens!

Smooth and Fast First Launch:

The connection logic for the very first launch of the game has been completely reworked. Thanks to new algorithms, the system selects the best game server several times faster. Even with an unstable internet connection, the game will launch without annoying delays.

Log into the game, try out the updated systems in action, and share your thoughts. Your feedback is always incredibly important to us!

Good luck in your upcoming battles! 🛡️
