Global Map Season 17 Is Fast Approaching!

Tankers!

We'd like to be the first to welcome you to Season 17 of the Global Map!

Season 17 of the Global Map will last from September 22 until December 1.

At the end of the event, you can earn the new Water Elemental 2D Style, which is the third in the series of theme-based 2D Styles. The list of rewards in the Workshop will also be updated.

Changes Compared to Previous Events

• Rental vehicles available for the Global Map and Stronghold.
• The sorting and logic of team composition by Clan rank has been added to the Special Battles window.
• The Clan event log on the Global Map has been reworked.
• The Clan battle schedule screen on the Global Map has been improved.
• The list of rewards in the Workshop has been updated.
• Ransacks are ON.
• Quests have been reworked.
• Gold value for Provinces has been increased.

Rental Vehicles

If you don’t have any Tier X vehicles in your Garage, you can rent them. Several vehicles will be available to players to participate in battles on the Global Map or in the Stronghold.

Rental vehicles will be available to players who are members of Clans and have fought at least 1,000 battles. The following vehicles will be available at a fixed price in Credits:

Vehicles	Number of Battles	Cost	Number of Purchases
X Object 140 X T110E5	2 Battles	0	1
X Object 140	5 Battles	75,000 Credits	2
X T110E5		75,000 Credits	2

In Clan battles, rental vehicles will be available in test mode. To purchase rental vehicles, go to the in-game Store to one of the categories: Vehicles or Best. In the same section, it will be possible to extend the rental period at any time.

The rental vehicles will be displayed in the vehicle panel in your Garage and will be marked as Object 140 CL and T110E5 CL. The number of battles available on the vehicle will also be displayed there. For your convenience, a filter for clan vehicles has also been added, allowing you to quickly find the vehicles you need. When the rental period is over, you will not be able to remove the vehicles from the panel; they will be deducted shortly after the end of the season.

At the end of the event, all rental vehicles will remain on your account. They will be automatically deducted together with their Garage Slots after a certain period of time. Once that happens:

• All items of equipment (including improved equipment) you have mounted on rental vehicles will be demounted free of charge and sent to the Depot.
• All directives, consumables, and ammo will be sent to the Depot.
• All Emblems, Decals, Inscriptions, and 2D Styles will be sent to the Depot with the exception of national emblems. These are applied to all rental vehicles by default, so they will be deducted.
• The crew that came with the rental vehicle will be sent to the Barracks. Additional bunks for this crew will not be added.
• All XP earned on rental vehicles will be transferred to the Tier I vehicle of the corresponding nation.
• All battles that have not been fought in the vehicles purchased for credits will be compensated.

Interface Improvments

Pre-Battle Screen

We've improved the pre-battle screen and changed the mechanics of team assembly for the upcoming battle. Until recently, any Clan member could move Clanmates to-and-from the right roster (core team) regardless of their role in the Clan and time left until the start of the battle. Dishonest players could use it for sabotage and their actions could even result in a technical defeat.

Now, only players with officer ranks (Commander, Executive Officer, Personnel Officer, and Combat Officer) will be able to move themselves and any other players to and from the right roster. As a result, Clans will be able to participate in battles in full force and employ the planned tactics. Players without officer ranks will only be able to move themselves to and from the right roster.

Be careful when granting officer ranks to your Clan members. 

Among other things, the pre-battle screen now provides the option to sort team members by various criteria. Sorting is performed for each player separately and does not affect the display of the team composition for other clan members.

Clan Event Log

Identification of the main actions of the Clan has been added to the event log on the Global Map. Now all Clan members (except for Recruits and Reservists) will have information about each specific action performed by each Clan member on the Global Map. 

Clan Battle Schedule Screen

The functionality of the clan battle schedule screen has been extended. For the convenience of informing Clan members, the marking of Clan's tank companies (detachments) has been added. Clan officers (Commander, Executive Officer, Personnel Officer, and Combat Officer) will be able to mark battles in which particular detachments should participate.

Workshop

In Season 17, players will have access to the Workshop where they can produce various rewards using resources earned after battles on the Global Map.

The amount of resources is the same for all team members and depends on the following factors:

• Clans earn more resources for a victory than for a defeat.
• The more enemy vehicles they destroy, the more resources the Clan will receive.

Items that can be produced in the Workshop:

Only one item can be produced at a time. However, others can be added to the production queue. The produced items are added to the player's account immediately after the production is complete. Items in the production queue can be shifted within it, or removed from the queue altogether, returning the resources to the Depot in full. 

In the Workshop, players can find the battle log. It will display the amount of resources earned in all battles since the start of Season 17. The Workshop will be available until the end of the Season December 1 at 03:00 PT | 05:00 CT | 06:00 ET.  All unused resources and produced components will then be deducted.

Playoff Tournament

Best of luck on the battlefield!
