Hello Pilots and Tankers!
Today, we would like to tell you about the changes to the arcade tank battles mode
planned for introduction in the War Thunder 1.43 Update.
From now on, this mode will allow you to use aircraft to support the Ground Forces.
All players will start the battle on the ground.
Destroying two enemy tanks makes it possible to fly an attacker aircraft
while destroying three tanks unlocks a heavy bomber.
Selecting an appropriate class of aircraft using the icons at the bottom of the screen
starts a special mini event.
Your job is to inflict maximum damage on the enemy's Ground Forces
within a short peroid of time.
Allies can fly fighters to cover your devastating raid,
while the opponents will try to intercept you.
Your squadmates will receive an invitation to participate in the mini event first,
and after several seconds all the team members will be able to join.
As you can see, the aircraft used in the event
do not depend on the selected tank nation.
You don't even need to have aircraft in your crew slots.
Please note: Your tank does not disappear.
It remains on the ground and can be destroyed by the enemy.
Take cover in a safe place before getting into a dogfight.
The artillery support system was reconsidered as well.
At first, it is not available to anyone.
But by destroying enemy tanks, you can collect up to a maximum of three artillery volleys,
to use them separately or all at once.
You can also get artillery and air support points by holding more capture points
than your enemy does. If your team controls the majority of the points
for ninety seconds, all of its members will receive one point of each kind.
Multiple respawns within a single crew slot will be disabled.
These changes will make each tank you have more valuable,
and make battles more intense and diverse.
