Spring into the action with Update 1.20.1, Commanders! It features the improved crew perk system and a new branch of Japanese tank destroyers. On top of that, this update introduces the Season of the Crimson Griffin in Onslaught, as well as a special monthly subscription: WoT Plus. You’ll also be able to experience random events and dynamic cover in Recon Mission, which will come later in May. Finally, you can assemble the Collection feature in Battle Pass and also purchase new slots in the Garage with credits. Scroll down for details!
Recon Mission: Random Events and Dynamic Cover
Random events and dynamic cover are parts of the Recon Mission mode, which will kick off in May. Each of these brand-new mechanics offers you a fresh gameplay experience and opens up new tactical opportunities on the battlefield. Random events occur at a specific time and in specific areas of four maps: Safe Haven, Ruinberg, Prokhorovka, and Himmelsdorf. They change the environment around you and the combat situation on the battlefield, so try to use this to gain an advantage over your opponents! Dynamic cover refers to various movable objects (e.g., shipping containers, concrete blocks, etc.) that you can use to protect yourself against enemy fire. Read the article below to find out more about both mechanics! DETAILS The Improved Crew Perk System
We’re continuing to work on a comprehensive rework of the crew system in World of Tanks. Now all perks are available immediately once you start training them. The major qualification level now affects almost all perks (excluding Brothers in Arms). The higher it is, the stronger the perk effect.
There will no longer be an XP penalty when you finish a battle with injured crew members. Additionally, we’ve made crew interfaces clearer. Enjoy!

New Branch: Japanese Tank Destroyers
Six menacing Japanese tank destroyers are ready to head into battle! All vehicles boast high-caliber guns that cause good damage per shot. Massive yet maneuverable, these Japanese TDs are designed to support the team from the second line of fire or assist heavy tanks on the front line. Take them for a spin to strike fear—and damage—into your opponents!
