With this in mind, we’ve decided to implement a new feature to help. We’ll be adding a random ground vehicle spawn option in Ground Arcade and Ground Realistic Battles in lineups of 9.3 and above.

So, what is the preset state of vehicles in the random tank lineup? As we all know, for vehicles above 9.3, the combat effectiveness of HEATFS and APFSDS differs significantly. The presence of smoke grenades and laser rangefinders also greatly impacts combat capability.
The question is that , are the vehicles in a “fully stock” state, “fully upgraded,” or somewhere in between—a “combat-ready” configuration?

[VALKEN]

Most players you know, play the game to play the BR they like, or don’t buy overpriced premiums so while grinding up to each new rank some people want to be able to play those vehicles without having to 1 death leave or grind another 50k-400k RP to form a line up, as well as some people at higher parts of the tech tree might not have a line up for the lines they chose in the tech tree so giving them another vehicle helps the team and themself have a better chance.

also I’ll be intrigued to see if the vehicle will be from any nation or just that nation cause some trees have no SPAA in those small BR windows depending on your vehicle, I’ll also be intrigued to see if they will be stock or spaded.

We’ll be adding a random ground vehicle spawn option in Ground Arcade and Ground Realistic Battles in lineups of 9.3 and above. This will work similarly to the aircraft spawns for Naval Battles, where you have the option to spawn a random fighter or bomber. For Ground Realistic Battles, there will be two options: a random spawn for tanks and another for SPAAs, while Ground Arcade Battles will just have a tank option.

This is a pretty poor way to implement a solution.
It will not fix anything

@magazine2

Battle Rating of 9.7, the options will be between 9.3 and 10.0. This logic will apply universally across the board where possible

So well see lots of under BRd folks in matches they shouldn’t ve in.

Rather than just make it they need 3 vehicles to queue for a match

[_AngelicDragon]

Then let me ask you this.

What does the DB-LK bring to the table? What makes it have a ‘unique’ playing style, compared to every other bomber?

@magazine2

Exactly as the title says, we’ll be adding a severe damage mechanic to naval! It will be similar in function to the mechanic for aircraft that we have in the game already. For naval specifically, you’ll be granted a severe damage credit by causing 50% crew depletion to a ship. This will give you 50% of the kill reward the moment you receive the credit for severe damage. If you don’t land the finishing blow, you’ll still get the kill credit, which will be shared with the player who landed the final hit.

Is it a flat 50% on all targets or relative to the crew % on the ship. So like 50% of 88% (common AI crew figure) being 44% or needing to hit a base 50% which is like 56% on an 88% figure?.

@magazine2

The available vehicle selection depends on the nation and Battle Rating of the battle, but the options won’t be top BR in any given scenario. As an example, in a 9.7 to 10.7 match, if you have a battle rating of 10.7, the random vehicle options will be between 9.7 and 10.3 — while if you have a Battle Rating of 9.7, the options will be between 9.3 and 10.0. This logic will apply universally across the board where possible, in cases where there is a limited number of vehicles available, the roster will include vehicles of lower BRs just to make sure there are enough options.

In addition to this, we’ve also applied the same logic above to the random aircraft spawns in Naval Battles, the list of available aircraft has been drastically expanded, for both bombers and fighters.

We hope that this new feature combined with the free daily backups will give everyone more ability to stay in each match for longer and keep fighting until the very end!

This is good. But I have some questions, if a player purchases SU30MK2 and puts BT5 in the queue, can he use ground random vehicles?@Smin1080p_WT

[_AngelicDragon]

So then the DB-LK might not be the bomber in question.

and how do you expect this to work? Force the customer to buy vehicles worth 200+ bucks just to play what they want instead of grinding for months?

[An_Pigeon]

@F-16D Barak II

would be really fun if you could choose to bring a single vehicle from another tree to your lineup to help.

What? Lol then why vother to have trees at all.

[Psc0905]

I would have been happy if we got another set of BR changes especially for the top BRs since there is quite a lot of weird stuff balancing wise in these BRs. Really looking forward to these new Spaas, hopefully there is also something to help out China and maybe some tweaks to the Spyder. Really hope that we get some spicy stuff for the final update of the year

@mineLo

and how do you expect this to work? Force the customer to buy vehicles worth 150 bucks just to play what they want instead of grinding for months?

Pay for prems as you go?
For grb implement it in a way that allows them to have 3 spawns rather than two at the stupid high br prems.

This random spawn stuff will not change anytning, if people only want to use a premium leopard or abrams to start a tree they wont spawn a non premium vehicle which has research penalties.

[Pvt_Wade]

btw which bomber do you think it might be?

[_AngelicDragon]

The XB-70 is filling in that criteria, if not the YB-49.

[RowanFW]

Nah, just put the two reserves in your lineup too)))))

[_AngelicDragon]

The YB-49 would be unique in a way that it would be the first ‘flying wing’ bomber, as for the XB-70, it would be unique in a sense that you have to stay at high altitude and at high speed to remotely survive.

[_AngelicDragon]

alternatively the Ju 287. Idk why.
