Maps in WOT 1.3
Adding new maps to World of Tanks will be a constant and continuous process. So version 1.3 will delight you with fresh game locations. The "Oryol Ledge" is being added to the game - this is a map with industrial buildings and railway tracks on the outskirts of the city. Against the backdrop of huge clouds of smoke blocking the sunlight, battles will take place on this map in World of Tanks 1.3.
In addition to the "Oryol Ledge" map in wot, in patch 1.3 such maps as "Himmelsdorf", "Mannerheim Line", "Fisherman's Bay" and "Industrial Zone" will be changed. Here are the changes in the World of Tanks version 1.3 update for these maps:
- Fisherman's Bay will receive additional shelters, which can be used effectively to attack from the urban part of the map. Some trees have been removed from the center of the game location. The shooting positions will be blocked.
- Himmelsdorf will receive a new redesigned central part and convenient angles for firing. When climbing the mountain, an embankment will appear behind which you can park your combat vehicle to protect it from the enemy’s preemptive fire. Embankments have also been added to the northwestern part of Himmelsdorf near the destroyed depot. (at the very beginning you can see it on our forum)
- The Industrial Zone is perhaps the most changeable map in update 1.3. Buildings will appear on the map in places where tanks pass. The hills will become lower. Relocated obstacles in major battle areas, such as mounds of rubble and construction debris. On the territory of the coal mine, mountains of mined ore have shifted. The river in the northeast of the map will no longer have a hole, but a house will appear. And the entire eastern part of the map has been completely redesigned to give this area balance during battles on both sides.
- Mannerheim Line in patch 1.3 it will have new places for ambushes and defenses in the northern and eastern parts of the map. So, after the update, new trees and defensive fortifications will appear on the map. Also on the Mannerheim Line, the shots that players love will disappear - you will have to look for new ones. Many obstacles preventing passage have been redone or completely removed.
In general, changes to game locations can be called balanced. The reworks are aimed at providing high-quality and interesting combat for each of the maps reviewed. Also, previously found bugs have been fixed in some other game locations.
LBZ in WOT 1.3
The number of new LBZ in patch 1.3 will be impressive. The classification of LBZ has changed. All old combat missions have been reworked.

Tanks in update 1.3
The main work in World of Tanks today is in the area of expanding functionality to change the appearance of tanks. Update 1.3 marks the beginning of a long and complex journey to personalize the vehicles in the game.
Return of the T-50-2 tank to World of Tanks
The sensation of update 1.3 will be the return of the legendary Soviet tank T-50-2 to the game. At one time, when the T-50-2 was removed from World of Tanks, this resulted in a large wave of negative reviews for the game creators. But then the developers did not listen to the opinion of the gaming community and removed the tank anyway. And now, a few years later, the tank returns. For now only for the super test.
We are waiting for the "firefly" based in patch 1.4 or 1.5. The likelihood that a tank will be added to level 5 is negligible. Most likely he will receive the status of a level 10 tank or 7th in extreme cases. The developers plan to maintain the characteristics of the T-50-2 that it previously had.
Decals in World of Tanks
The new patch version 1.3 will add large decals to the game for all level 10 vehicles and premium level 8 tanks. To select a decal, you need to enter the tank appearance menu "Decals" and go to the last tab at the bottom. There will be 40 pieces added to choose from. various decals, each of which can be adjusted to size in the chosen location. You can add up to four different decals to one tank.
Very soon, players can expect a new patch – 9.20, which means a lot of innovations. Traditionally, before a patch is released, developers launch a test server, with the help of which everyone can see and try all the changes without any impact on their own statistics.
The test server is downloaded as a separate client, where, as on your main client, you need to enter the data of a valid account under which you will test the update.
The test version of the game exists so that players can try out the future patch and, if possible, notice all the errors and bugs so that the developers can fix them before the patch is released.
How to become a World of Tanks 0.9.20 tester?
Everything here is quite simple - you just need to download the test client installer on the official website of the game or from our website (link at the end of the article), wait for installation and log in under your name.
By the way, every player who gets to the test server gets to use 20 thousand gold, 100 million free experience and silver per account, so that everyone can try any tank in the game. After the test server closes, all gold, experience and money will disappear, and the account statistics will remain the same - the test does not affect it at all, it works like a separate game.
What changes will be in the new patch 0.9.20?
The most important update will be a branch of new Swedish tanks: a mixed and full-fledged tank destroyer branch with unique vehicles at the top levels. Many Tier VIII premium tanks will be upgraded. The three and two gauge rules will be redone. Eleven tanks will receive new and colorful HD models.

Testing on third-party resources
So what is the advantage of third-party resources that legally and honestly distribute the game’s test client? To be honest, there are a lot of positive things about them. When downloading, they never interrupt connections, they very rarely experience failures, they immediately upload the full version of the test client without the need to update it and, accordingly, they have a much higher data transfer speed than on the official website. You can find out a detailed list of fan resources that you can trust on the official website in the “Fan Zone” section.
Thus, you got acquainted with the ability to download a test game even if the connection with the main server is broken. It is also worth noting that sometimes the required file is posted on the game’s fan resources much earlier than the developers officially post it.

World of Tanks test server
While playing World of Tanks, we have all repeatedly asked ourselves questions about which branch of tanks to download next, which premium tank to buy, what awaits us at the tenth level of this or that development tree, and so on. Even more similar questions arise for beginners who have just come to tanks. And of course, we have all repeatedly heard about the test server, which will somehow help us make a choice and answer all questions about leveling up and choosing equipment. So what is the World of Tanks test server, what are its advantages and how to get on it?
General information about the test server
So, first of all, it’s worth understanding that the test server always opens a few weeks before the release of a game update. This gives developers a great way to check a new version of the game for all sorts of flaws, malfunctions, bugs and much more. After all, users playing on the World of Tanks test server may encounter similar performance problems, if any, and write about it on the forum. This way, you can avoid a lot of trouble when the update is launched on the main World of Tanks servers. In addition, players have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with a number of upcoming innovations with their own eyes and try out new elements of the tested version.
However, players have found another use for the test - this is the opportunity to drive various vehicles, try out premium tanks and decide on a further plan for upgrading or purchasing a specific vehicle.
Why is this possible? Everything is very simple, on the test server each player is awarded:
20 thousand game gold;
100 million free experience;
100 million credits.
Thanks to such generous “gifts”, you can upgrade any tank you are interested in in a few minutes and go into battle with it, in order to learn about its advantages and decide whether it is worth going to it on your main account.
Regarding gold, it is enough for a maximum of two premium tanks of the 8th level, but more often for one, so many create several accounts on the test server in order to try out several vehicles and choose the only one, which they will then buy on a “basis” and will accumulate on it gives you in-game currency and experience.
But remember, everything you purchase on the test server will never transfer to your main account, because this is just a way to try out an upcoming update, decide on future goals, get an idea of a certain type of equipment, or dispel your misconceptions.
How to download and install the client for the game on the World of Tanks test server
First of all, you need to wait until Wargaming starts working on the update. To do this, you only need to go to the official World of Tanks website a few times a day and view the news feed. As soon as the test client opens, the developers will definitely notify players about this event on the main page of the site, and you will be able to download the client to play in the general test of World of Tanks. Such news looks like the one shown in the screenshot below.
