For a long time, our game has not seen such dramatic additions and changes as those that occurred in the 9.8 update package. A new game mode has appeared in World of Tanks - the Supremacy mode. What does this game mode represent, does it make sense to play in it - you will find out the answer to many other questions from this article.
“The battle for Supremacy has begun” - this is the phrase that the developers marked the start of a new game mode, in other words, it is symbolic. This innovation has already received a lot of positive feedback at this moment, and even from those VODs and players who have not seen the bright side in changing the game lately. "Wargaming did it!" - this phrase has become popular in the everyday life of tankers who come to play Supremacy. What did the developers manage to do? Let's watch.
What is “Superiority” and what is it “eaten” with?
The essence of the new mode is capture the flag. The parties bring a no-man's flag to a certain place and earn points. The main feature is what the World of Tanks players have been asking for so long - the introduction of garage battles! After the destruction of his tank, the player does not have to wait for the end of the battle, or leave the battle - after death, transfer to another tank and fight!
The goal of the battle is to earn the first 150 points, or score the maximum number of points before the end of the battle. For the delivery of one flag, 10/15/35/50/ is given - depending on the map on which the battle takes place. For the "frag" one point is given "to the piggy bank" of the team, so it is more efficient to deliver the flag.
So far, only three special tanks for Supremacy are available to players in the mode - these are AMX 50 B (P), "Object 140 (P)", T110E5 (P). These cars are similar to their counterparts from the upgrade branches, so playing in the new mode will be beneficial even for those who are thinking about whether to upgrade this or that car. AMX 50 B (P), "Object 140 (P)", T110E5 (P) are credited to the hangars of players who entered / will enter during the period when the new mode will work, and the cars appear with 100 percent crew and three slots in the hangar . True, after the mode with slots and tanks disappears, the crew that will be on the tanks will be retrained for free on the AMX 50 B, Object 140, T110E5 - do not miss the opportunity to pump tankers.
Battle format.
The game event "Superiority" will take place in two stages. Moreover, the first and second stages will differ in card sets and format.
The first stage will follow the format:
- "Mines" (two teams of 10 players).
- "Sandy River" (two teams of 15 players).
Second phase:
- Lost City (two teams of 10 players).
- Himmelsdorf (two teams of 10 players).
- "Karelia" (two teams of 15 players).
- "Monte Rosa" (two teams of 15 players).
The second stage differs from the first one in a set of cards and in the concept of the game - now instead of one flag, four flags appear on the battlefield, which makes the battles even more unpredictable.
Why did the new regime cause positive emotions?
The game has been waiting for new modes. Modes that will truly draw players in, that will be balanced and interesting. The developers admitted that the historical modes and the “battle of the nations” mode were failures, they were abandoned and decided to remake the concept of formats without even saying when to expect them. Here the players are bored with new products. The developers understood the importance of Supremacy, so introducing it in a hurry was not the main task, but it was more important to work out even the little things. And they did it.
The regime became successful because...
Firstly, success is that there is a balance in the mode! The feature of the new format is the absence of “imbs”, and most importantly, artillery! Yes, this entails a minus - so far there are only three cars in the mode, AMX 50 B (P), "Object 140 (P)", T110E5 (P), which were brought into the mode, but this is a "stick with two ends ". Most of the players have enough of these three units and the main thing for them is that there is no “art”! Of course, the developers promise in the future to add vehicles that are on the branches of nations to the mode, but this will take time and configuration.
Secondly, there is no need to shoot "gold" shells! What is already so tired in "random" battles is here again implemented! No, of course you can fill your tank with premium shells, but it doesn't make sense - in battles, making a frag is not as important as in regular battles. As a result, players will once again fully feel the importance of armor by tanking on the T110E5 (P), and sometimes on the Object 140 (P) as well. The Frenchman can be included in this list, but with a stretch, since he is the most “cardboard” car than the previous ones, but this is not his main calling, because he has a drum.
Thirdly, for the mode, maps were developed and worked out on which battles take place. Especially for "Superiority", the card makers made two maps from 0, and a number of them were optimized for this mode, considering the aspect ratio and making the "maps" symmetrical, thereby reducing the "burning" of the players from the dissatisfaction of the side during the "setup" of the teams, and also removing any advantage from each of the teams.
Fourth, it's uniqueness. Yes, it is the uniqueness that makes players play this format. Never before, in ordinary battles, there were such opportunities as here - to call in for repairs, speed up your reloading, replenish ammunition, deliver the flag! All this is a new feeling that gives a new impetus to the influx of players who are already bored with the usual battles on the maps of World of Tanks.
Fifth, this is what the players have been waiting for so long - "garage battles". There is nothing better than after your death on the battlefield, to recover in another car and go back to the thick of things! Choose another car, wait 12 seconds and you are ready to win again, make frags and help your team.
Results.
To summarize, let's say boldly, without being afraid of this phrase - the new mode "Superiority" was a success! In Supremacy, players can simply relax, feel the need to armor, do “damage” and “frags”, or if you are tired of it, tear the flag out of the clutches of opponents and take it to the right place! Most importantly, at this stage of Supremacy there are no statistics in it, and players do not have to worry about their percentages, because this format does not affect the main profile. Plus, here you can still farm without spending premium shells, but shooting only with BBs.
To test the new format, feel a new breath of air, see the game from a completely different angle - go to World of Tanks, choose one of the three vehicles - AMX 50 B (P), "Object 140 (P)", T110E5 (P), and into battle, to victory! Also, do not forget to visit our official World of Tanks fan resource, because here you will find not only a lot of information, but also get the opportunity to replenish your treasury with gold using our promotions and sweepstakes! Good luck on the World of Tanks battlefields and see you in the new mode!
World of tanks developers periodically add new modes to the game. Among these new - experimental modes Supremacy and Confrontation. The new Dominance mode was added in patch 0.9.8, .
And in patch 8.11, an experimental mode was added to World of Tanks, which was called - Confrontation. This event is rare for WoT. Before that, new modes were added to the game - Meeting engagement and Storm. It will become one of the types of random combat, along with Encounter Battle and Assault.
In game mode Confrontation teams will be divided according to nationality, the goal of the game is the same as in the Standard battle - to capture the opponent's base or destroy all enemies.
Can there be an assault or an oncoming battle in Versus mode?
Division of teams by nationality in modes Storm and Meeting engagement will not be at the moment. However, if the new mode is popular with players, perhaps in the future you can meet in the Confrontation mode in an oncoming battle or assault.
What nations can meet in Versus Mode?
In mode confrontation the same countries cannot be on different sides of the conflict, that is, the Americans cannot fight against the Americans, all other confrontations are allowed. Based on the fact that the World of tanks ru-server has the most Soviet equipment, the most likely enemy for all other nations will be the USSR.
You won't be able to enter the mode. Confrontation on Japanese or Chinese vehicles - they do not have enough classes of vehicles presented in the game.
Maps in the Confrontation in the game World of tanks
Maps in mode confrontation will be the same as in standard mode. Considering that the vehicles of some countries have characteristic features, it may turn out that some maps will be more appealing to players using American vehicles - for example, hilly areas, other maps are better suited for accurate German tanks, others will be good for Soviet vehicles, and so on. . Whether it will be possible to maintain the balance of vehicles in the new mode, we will find out after a while.
How to get a platoon into Confrontation mode?
To get into mode confrontation platoon, you will need to create a platoon in the usual way and select the vehicles of the same nation (except for Chinese and Japanese).
How to turn off the Confrontation in World of tanks?
Disable the ability to get into the mode - Confrontation can be in the game settings. Although, in my opinion, this is not worth doing, because such a mode should diversify the gameplay of World of tanks.
The developers of World of tanks considered the Confrontation mode unfinished and excluded it from the game.
New fan mode in World of Tanks for Halloween 2017!
World of Tanks is under attack! Leviathan, the ruler of the world of destroyed technology, plans to storm the Gates to the world of the living, and only you can stop his army! The battle will begin on October 27, Halloween, when the army of the villain's minions will advance to the Gate. Answer the call, don't let Leviathan destroy everything and everything! Our salvation is in unity.
There was only one day left before the start of the battle. Let's not waste time! Our task is to study the enemy before the battle begins.
background
Driven by an insatiable thirst for power, Leviathan, along with his minions, will soon begin a desperate assault on the Great Gate. Many of the Guardians of the Portal Between Worlds have fallen, but they still defend their last line of defense. As their ranks thin out, the Leviathan army grows stronger.
Your task is to stop Leviathan's attack and push his army back into the abyss. With each fight, the villain develops a new plan. You won't know where his army will come from the next moment, as each attack on the Gate will start from a new direction.
Review
Time: from October 27, 09:00 (MSK) to November 9, 09:00 (MSK). Halloween 2017 in WoT
- Modes: "Invasion" (battle against AI) and "Eternal battle" (battles with other players).
- Vehicles: Two exclusive multi-turreted vehicles: Frankie and Stein.
- Card: Inferno.
- Tasks:
"Eternal battle": capture the enemy base or destroy all his equipment.
"Invasion": hold back the onslaught of Leviathan, destroying him.
Unique cars
Two fallen warriors, Franky and Stein, are called from the world of shadows to hold back the attack of their worst enemy. This pair does not need additional equipment for combat: each vehicle has two turrets (hard times require non-standard solutions) and is not inferior to the enemy in armament (if you skillfully use the advantages of this weaponry). Tanks with many turrets and a ghost crew with nothing to lose and nothing to hope for is a desperate combination. And only it gives hope for success in the battle with Leviathan.
The tank and the ghost crew are inseparable entities, they cannot exist without each other. The cars are not adapted for ordinary crews, and the ghosts will not be able to budge any equipment other than Franky and Stein. At the end of the game event, the tanks will go into oblivion along with their crew.
You should pay attention to Franky if you want to fire from a distance. The high damage of this tank can be combined with the rate of fire while hiding in cover. Find a safe position and blow the enemy apart! And if it gets hot, great weapons will help you get out of a difficult situation.
If you want to get close to Leviathan and deal with him personally, Stein is more suitable for you. It holds a punch well, has two towers and is quite mobile. He has a better mass-to-power ratio than Franky, and a large margin of safety will allow him to fight effectively in close combat.
Frankie
This is a machine for cautious players who prefer to destroy the enemy from afar. Both of her guns perform best at long range. Their frontal location allows you to quickly get used to new game mechanics. Therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities or prefer to deal with something new in detail, start your acquaintance with multi-tower technology with Franky.
Matte
Like to fight face to face with the enemy? Then Stein is your choice. The combination of good armor, fast-firing guns, and impressive maneuverability will give you an advantage in short-range battles. Stein can deal damage to the enemy with lightning speed and just as quickly escape from enemy fire. The tank has one peculiarity: its stern gun is directed backwards. Therefore, in order to fight, you will have to turn the car so that two guns can fire at the opponent at the same time. At first it may seem unusual, but, having adapted, you will begin to sow chaos on the battlefield.
During the event, Halloween 2017 in World of Tanks, these two vehicles will appear in your Garage. Choose one of them, and then the mode: against the army of Leviathan or against other players in 15 vs 15 battles you want to fight.
NOTE: Two teams enter the battle on double-turreted vehicles 15 to 15 players. Since damage to allies can be a big problem, it's disabled so you can focus on the main target in combat. Have fun playing as Franky or Stein without fear of accidentally damaging (or destroying) your allies!
In order not to distract you from the battle, we have disabled crew training for free experience for vehicles used in the game event. It doesn't make sense as the tankers will return to their world after November 9th along with Franky and Stein.
Study the enemy...
Now for the bad: Leviathan. No longer wanting to remain just the ruler of the world of destroyed technology, he craves power. Therefore, he gathered an army to attack the Great Gate - the portal between the worlds. Wanting to get everything, Leviathan will arrange the end of the world in the world of the living... If he is not stopped.
Before the battle, the enemy should be studied, and you can learn something about him right in the Garage. Hover over the gloomy shadow in the background to find out who you'll run into.
In addition to the most powerful weapon, the Leviathan has additional weapons located on the sides of its huge hull. And he will definitely use it! Unlike ordinary mortals, this villain is fearless and merciless. Leviathan's fury is so great that a simple collision with him will send you straight to the Hangar (and very quickly). In addition, you should beware of the mines that he scatters around: running into them will stun you and make you defenseless for seven seconds.
It will be a difficult battle, but can it be abandoned? After all, there is only one choice: accept the battle or watch the world of the living fall.
However, Leviathan also has weaknesses. Look closely and you will see cracks in his armor. Only thanks to them can this hard nut be cracked.
...and his army
Leviathan is accompanied by 14 warriors who have fallen in battle and turned to the dark side. They are constantly storming the Great Gate, but even this can be turned to your advantage. Destroying the villain's minion will give you a Rempack that will restore durability to you and your allies.
How to defeat minions of Leviathan
1. Act smartly and quickly. Your enemy's army is headless puppets controlled by Leviathan. They need time to choose at least some tactics, which gives you a serious advantage.
2. Use your car's strengths and weaknesses wisely. Leviathan's minions are similar to Franky and Stein, but less effective. Take advantage of it! However, do not think that they are whipping boys.
3. Think of Leviathan's minions as a strategic resource. Do not destroy them in the first minutes of the battle - prolong the pleasure. Repair kits can come in handy in battle.
Challenges and awards

The final stage in the development of Ranked Battles will be the beta season, which starts on June 5 and will give everyone the opportunity to experience new sensations in World of Tanks. Enter the mode to fight with players of equal skill, earn ranks, receive exclusive rewards and share opinions.
Previous tests have generally gone well, and we are grateful to everyone who provided feedback and reported bugs. This time, you'll be checking the actual finished product and pointing out items that need improvement. We'll be closely monitoring Ranked Battles statistics to understand how much impact they have in each region, and we'll use your feedback to fine-tune functionality, rewards, and the economy.
We have created an extended guide that we recommend you read before the start of the Ranked Battles Beta Season. However, please read this article to the end first.
Mode Features
Battles are only available on Tier X vehicles, and to win, you must destroy all enemy vehicles or capture their base. While winning increases your chances of getting a chevron, it is a secondary factor. High efficiency in battle and gaining experience is much more important, because it is the position in the team list by the amount of experience earned that determines your progress. When you place in the top 12 XP players on the winning team, or the top 3 XP players on the losing team, you earn a chevron and move one step closer to a new rank. In other words, you have nothing to lose if you give your best - even if your team played poorly. At the same time, if the team won, and your personal result did not allow you to enter its top 12 in terms of experience, your current progress in ranks will be preserved: the chevron will not be debited or credited.
The higher your personal result, the higher your rank - and the opponent is selected exactly in accordance with the rank.
Check out the Ranked Battles guide to learn more about player and vehicle ranks, season structure, and progress.
Reward
For every success in Ranked Battles, you are entitled to a reward. You get prizes for all significant achievements: completing a combat mission, getting a new rank, or getting into a prize league.
Pioneer of Ranked Battles
- Combat Mission - Reward for Perseverance
- Restrictions - Runs once a day. Only in Ranked Battles
- Condition - Be in the top 10 teams by experience in at least 10 battles
- Reward - 75,000 silver. x3 Large First Aid Kit. x3 Automatic fire extinguisher. x3 Large repair kit
At the end of the season and its stages, you will receive a certain amount of new currency - bon, as well as reward boxes. Bonds can be used to purchase pre-battle instructions and advanced equipment. The number of bonds earned at the end of the stage depends on the maximum rank achieved during this stage. For example, if you first get rank IV, and then lose one and complete a stage at rank III, you will receive 400 bonds (the number of bonds obtained for rank IV). The number of bonds that will be credited at the end of the season depends on the overall rating, which is calculated based on the ranks earned for all stages of the season, and your position in the leaderboard of the season. Only the top 50% of players will receive an additional reward at the end of the season. So, the higher your position in the ranking, the higher your chance of getting bonds and the more rewards you will earn.

Go to for the full list of awards.
Leaders and leagues
The strongest players in Ranked Battles will be among the Season Leaders. The place among the Season Leaders will be determined by the number of rank points earned when reaching new ranks. The more points you earn, the higher your position. You can check your position and compare your progress with other players at any time right in the game client.
With the start of a new stage, rank progress is reset, and the rank points earned go to the overall standings of the season. The overall result at the end of the season will be calculated based on your performance at each stage. This means that getting into the Leaders of the season directly depends on the stability of the results of the game during the entire season. The ultimate goal is to get into the top half of the season's Leaderboard and maintain a position there until the end of the season. Thus, you guarantee yourself a place in one of the prize leagues, an impressive number of bonds, as well as a unique patch (depending on the league) that indicates your skill level. The patch will be displayed in the Garage, as well as in battle next to your nickname, confirming your effectiveness.
If you do not need extra attention and you prefer to do your job without standing out, the display of patches can be turned off. While in the Garage, simply left-click on your nickname in the upper right corner of the screen, and then on the patch slot to hide them.
Go to the rules and regulations of Ranked Battles to learn more about leagues and patches.
Next steps
The beta season of Ranked Battles is a pilot one. During this season, we will collect feedback and make the necessary changes based on it.
Analysis of player feedback will allow us to understand the need for changes to the functionality, reward system, and economy of the mode, including improved equipment and pre-battle instructions.
Despite the fact that bonds are being introduced into the game as part of the beta season of Ranked Battles, this mode was not planned as the only way to get bonds and will not be considered as such in the future. In the future, we will make sure that players can earn bonds in other game modes, as well as expand the list of what can be purchased with them.
With the start of the beta season, all players will receive 100 bonds
All players who register by July 3rd will receive 100 coupons when the beta season begins. Players will also be able to test new pre-battle instructions for crew or equipment in combat, which will generate a significant amount of feedback.
In the development of ranked battles, it is you who will put the final point. We look forward to your feedback on the gameplay, balance and ranking system. See you in action on June 5th!
