To participate in testing innovations in your favorite game, you need to download the test server World of Tanks 0.9.18 and 0.9.19. All updates that are planned to be added to the game are tested on it, and you can take direct part in this.
Any innovations are active on the test server for some time before being released into the main client. There, a small number of testers check their performance and look for bugs. This is voluntary and unpaid, but it also has its advantages. You will be the first to know about what the vast majority of players will see only in the future. At the same time, you will learn this not in words, but in deeds. And when this content appears on the main server, you will already be aware of all its features and get an advantage.
When playing on the WoT test server from the official website, you will be able to try out any equipment from the game that you do not have access to. This will help you understand whether the tank you want is right for you or if you should save up for something else.
Or maybe you just want to help Wargaming improve your creation. In any case, a new account will be created for you and a certain amount of money and upgrade points will be awarded. And then everything is the same - take part in battles, buy new tanks and improve them. There will be no connection with the main account. Yes, you can only play here at certain times. So don't miss the opportunity and get a hands-on look at what World of Tanks will look like in the near future.

The test server in the game World of Tanks 1.6 is a regular server where new maps, features, tanks and other innovations of the game are tested. It is impossible to get to the WOT test server when the player wants it - it opens only at a certain time, when the game developers need it.
The test is open!
What is a test server and why is it needed?
Test server is a repository where a copy is stored and reproduced, but with some changes. Of course, before making any changes to the game, they must first be tested.The first to see the changes are the staff of WOT developers, then they give access to super-testers. If there are any shortcomings, they are corrected and the version of the new client is tested under load. The test version of the client is uploaded to the backup server and made available to everyone. Once again, the development staff is looking for errors and shortcomings. Afterwards, they fix and “roll out” a new version of the client.
How to get to the WOT test server
To get to the test server you need to download a special installer 1.6 or install Wargaming Game Center. After that, launch it. He will offer to download a test client - download it and install it. Next, a folder will be created World_of_Tanks_CT(in the directory where the player specified during installation).Everything is ready to launch! Click on the test client shortcut and you will be taken to the authorization page and login to the game. Log in with your nickname and password and select one of two test servers.

What is wot test server?
A virtual resource where there is a complete copy of the game. Where you can do tests and checks of all the innovations that will be added to the main game patch. All WG developers received first access to test domains. Afterwards, super tests began to be released to search for shortcomings and bugs. Afterwards, all additional problems were quickly corrected with maximum loading of the game client. To do this, a copy of the game is “uploaded” to a backup domain, where anyone can access it. After this, the detected deficiencies are again eliminated, after which changes are made to the main game client.
An open test server for World of Tanks was created by the administration to test updates. Patches are released regularly and the volume of innovations is usually colossal. To test all the innovations before they are released on the main server, you can download the client to the WoT test server from the official website.

Upon entering the test server, each player is awarded currency and experience:
It should be taken into account that the experience earned, game currency and equipment, unfortunately, are not transferred to the main client.
To install, you will need a new client - it is not built into the main one, so be prepared to allocate additional disk space. You are probably interested how much does the WoT test server weigh?, but there are no exact numbers - it all depends on the version of the patch being tested. Usually, a little more than the current version of the client. The WoT 1.6 test server launcher can be downloaded for free from the official website. If you have already participated in the previous test phase, please update the test client as you will need the latest version. There should be no problems updating the World of Tanks test server, since this will happen automatically. We recommend downloading the launcher only from the official website - this is the only way to be sure that it works and is the latest version.
We bring to your attention a video review of the WoT test server.
When will the World of Tanks test server go live?
If you're wondering, "Is the test server running?" - We are in a hurry to please you. It is usually launched in anticipation of a new patch, and at the moment this is a large-scale update 1.6, so the test is in full swing. To understand when the test server will be opened, you need to follow the news on the developers’ website - the opening date and operating hours are usually announced in advance. At the moment, the second stage has begun, the date when the next one will be released will be announced later. Subscribe to news, notifications, join our groups on social networks and you will be aware of updates.
How to install a test server
Download test server
- To run the World of Tanks test server, you will need to download the installer from the developer’s website (link above).
- Next, follow the instructions and wait for the game client to download.
How to log into the test server
- Before joining the beta test, run the test client.
- Make sure your main account has been in existence for a sufficient amount of time before logging into the test (only accounts created more than 2-4 weeks before the start of the test are accepted).
- The number of available places is limited! You may end up in a queue.
- Use your regular username and password to log in.
Mods for test server 1.6
There are no special mod builds for the test server, since it exists for a limited amount of time. The instructions for installing mods on a test server are the same as for a simple server - just add the mod files to the folder of the corresponding version inside the res_mods directory. The path to it will look something like this:
"D /World of Tanks/res_mods/*client version*."
Of course, there are no guarantees that all mods will work, so there are no 100% working builds. Choose those that work with the latest version of the main client - you can check out those available for the main client. You can try to install at your own risk; the test server is probably not moderated as actively as the main one, and therefore will not necessarily provoke a ban. You can download cheats from our website and try to install them on the test server, however, as with simple mods, functionality is not guaranteed.
Problem solving
Why is the World of Tanks test server not working?
If you simply cannot log in, then most likely the test stage has completed, and the next one has not yet begun. Check the official website for news. Also, every day on all three test servers, technical work is carried out for 15 minutes:
Why is the WoT test server not available or not connecting?
- It may indeed be unavailable because the test has ended - see the test dates in the table above.
- Your account may be registered later than the established threshold - 2-4 weeks before the start of the test.
- You may have problems with network settings; see the next paragraph to resolve them.
The test is running, but the WoT client (test server) still writes: “The connection cannot be established” or “You are disconnected from the server.”
Try the following:
- Try disabling the firewall and try logging in again
- Use the WGCheck program
- Check client integrity
- Check the boxes next to “Add client to firewall exceptions” and “Advanced network diagnostics”.
- If the program does not restore the client automatically, create a report and attach it when you contact support again.

List of changes from the first general test 9.19:
- The "Company Battle" mode has been removed from the game.
- The “Combat Brotherhood” and “Battle Friends” skills will work in mixed crews.
- Added a new mode – Ranked Battles
- Combat missions have been reworked:
As part of the first iteration of combat mission processing, the visual and functional part of the combat missions and promotions window was significantly changed.
A new “Combat Missions” item has appeared in the Hangar, through which you can get to the corresponding screen. Combat missions are divided into three sections: strategic, tactical, and missions for the selected vehicle.
Strategic goals include tasks that require significant effort to complete (for example, marathons).
Tactical tasks include those that can be grouped into certain groups according to their meaning (for example, daily combat missions, combat training, etc.).
Each task is displayed as a tile, and they are all conveniently sorted - the highest priority ones are listed first. A detailed description of each task can be seen by expanding the tile. Thanks to the new presentation of tasks in the Hangar interface, it will be much easier for you to understand them!
The game constantly hosts various promotions - most of them reduce prices on equipment, equipment, transfer of experience and much more. And now promotions are available from the “Shop” menu item. Each promotion is presented in the form of a tile with a detailed description of the item being discounted, the discount amount and other information. All tiles are interactive - by clicking on any of them, you can take advantage of the promotion offer directly in the game client.
- Changes in clan management:
In the new version, the possibilities for managing a clan will expand. Now, without leaving the game client, you can:
- distribute gold from the clan treasury;
- change the positions of clan players;
- transfer control of the clan;
- view extended statistics on clan players.

The following medals, which were awarded for activities in the Fortified Area before version 9.17.1, have been moved to the “Special” category:
- "Warrior";
- “For decisive battles”;
- "Conqueror";
- "Crusher of Fortresses";
- "Counterstrike."
- Voice acting changes: Female voice acting has been introduced for all nations. Instead of the old option of “national” voice acting, you can now select “commander” voice acting in the settings window. The choice of “commander” voice acting makes voice notifications corresponding not only to the nation, but also to the gender of the crew commander of the vehicle selected by the player. Thus, if the commander of your car is a girl, then the car itself will “speak” in a female voice.
- The following vehicles have been remastered in HD quality: KV-13, T-44, IS-2, BDR G1B, Renault FT 75 BS, Renault UE 57, Renault FT AC, Alecto, Excelsior, Vickers Mk.E Type B, STA -1, MTLS-1G14
