Short note: if you haven’t already noticed, the new Community Map that’s in development is available for you to play and test in “Custom Games.” Try it out and let us know what you think!

But if instead you seek to do battle in a more sinister environment, perhaps where monsters have begun to awaken … we might have something for you as well.

UPDATE: AUTOCANNON MECHANICS

In today’s update, we've updated the server-side firing mechanics for autocannons to support higher rates of fire.

• The new mechanics will group together multiple rounds when the firing rate is faster that the server refresh rate. (0.1 seconds)
• This addresses various issues observed when using autocannons with high rates of fire, where it would take longer than it should to shoot an entire clip.
• The following tanks have been updated to use the new firing mechanics, so you will notice an improved and consistent rate of fire from these vehicles:
  • AMX 40
  • AMX 32
  • AMX 30B ‘66
  • AMX 30B2
  • AMX 30B2 Brenus
  • AMX 30B2 FORAD
  • Marder 1A1
  • Marder 1A3
  • Main Battle Tank 70
  • MLI-84M

SPECIAL: MONSTER MASH

The sky darkens … somewhere, a chasm opens … and terror floods the battlefield as once-familiar weapons of armored warfare begin, horribly, to transform.

It’s time once again for our annual Monster Mash game mode! Head to the game’s mode select/start screen and prepare to do battle with your Awakened Monster Tanks and their supernatural powers on three haunted maps.

Don’t own a Monster Tank? Fear not. Through November 4th, every player will have FREE access to The Spectre in their garage and can roll out for Monster Mash using this ghostly vehicle.

Unearth all the details about this special event right here.
