Team Health Bar

One common player request has been to make the total health percentage of each team visible in the Team Composition Bar with Team Health Bars. This feature has been added with the April 1st update!

This additional information will help inform players of how to approach the battle. For example, players might have fewer tanks alive on their team but see that they have more health than the remaining enemies. This can encourage them that the game is not over, as each of the remaining tanks could likely be destroyed in a single shot, quickly changing the course of the match.

Team Health shows the percentage of the team's remaining health, starting at 100% and decreasing to 0%. This is an opt-out feature for players, with several settings available in the "Options" tab:

  • Full: Displays both the Health Bar and the % remaining.
  • Bar Only: Displays only the Health Bar.
  • % Only: Displays only the % remaining.
  • None: Does not display the Health Bar or % remaining.

Along with this change, we added a new tie-breaker rule condition (#2) so that the Health Bar can also help you determine if your team will win in case the match time runs out. With this information, you can decide if you need to conserve your hit points or take out more of the enemy's health when it's coming down to the end of the match.

If the time runs out:

  • Condition 1: The team with the most kills wins. If tied:
  • Condition 2: The team with the greater health % remaining wins. If tied:
  • Condition 3: The team who caused the most damage to destroyed enemies wins.

Camouflage Preview

In the Store, bundles that contain Camouflage will now have a Sherman tank displayed with the Camouflage applied. This is to help players to have a better understanding of what the Camouflage looks like before purchasing.
