By Wargaming.net is staying on top of the development work they do for my beloved World of Tanks and they just released the 6.6 patch for it yesterday.
According to the Russian developer the update went swimmingly but I wouldn’t really agree with that whole situation. Firstly, the World of Tanks update on the European server took longer than the other two.
After the update itself, another issue with World of Tanks came about. There was a scheduled server restart that lead to a downtime of two hours on the same European server which kind of put a damper on my fun.
Some of you may consider it something normal on the World of Tanks front but if that’s true how would you explain that I was able to “do some damage” in between the patch release and the restart?
World of Tanks
Anyway, the World of Tanks 6.6 patch brings along quite a lot of fun stuff to players, particularly the guys who, like me, are currently playing the German tree. We’ll get to that slightly later.
There have been some slight re-balancing changes, there’s a new map added and it’s one that bears one of the finest names in World War II history.
This new World of Tanks map is called the Siegfried Line and while I barely got a couple of chances to play it, it does seem to be immersive and provide a great mix of terrain and landscaping features.
Patch 6.6 in WoT does bring along something really nice bonus for people who like to play as a team. The platoon feature is now available on free accounts instead of being restricted to people who purchase gold.
World of Tanks
Granted, it’s limited to just two players but it’s a considerable gameplay improvement for best buds who take pleasure in playing World of Tanks.
As for the tank changes, the Germans get new additions like the Panzer VI Tiger (P), the VK 4502 (P) Ausf A, the E-50, E-75, E-100.
All of them are relatively high tier heavy machines and the necessity of welcoming them to World of Tanks without changing or adding tiers required some nerfing on the side of the mediums that you need to go through to get to play them.
The top tanks from Germany and Russia got their wings clipped a little, the income ratios on the American sides were also done up a bit and there’s a host of bugs that were fixed in-game.
World of Tanks
Plenty of bug fixes and rebalance improvements came with the World of Tanks patch 6.6 and they made it considerably better yet it retains the original charm of the game. What are you waiting for, get to trying it.
