VEHICLE REBALANCING: A NEW ITERATION
We’re updating the characteristics of 27 vehicles from different nations, tiers, and types, including seven Tier X tanks—the Centurion Action X, the Т57 Heavy, the Rinoceronte, among others. We’re also adjusting the parameters of the surrounding vehicles in their branches and updating the performance of seven Tier VI and VII tanks. Depending on whether they perform beyond the scope of their tier performance, we’ll improve or reduce their effectiveness in battles.
