World of Tanks - Update 9.20: Grand Battles

The following information below in this forum post is taken from the World of Tanks website. The NiN Gaming Network's #NiNWOT Ninjas Elite Clan Division of World of Tanks Staff Team is excited about this update. And that's why we will be sharing brief details on this update in this forum post.

The 9.20 preview kicked off a conversation about work that’s underway to spruce up the Random Battles experience: the new "Grand Battle" setup. This new format available in Random Battles and blends classic battle gameplay, a new larger arena and teams of 30 all battling it out in tier X vehicles.

Overview

Mode: Random Battles ("Grand Battle" is available alongside "Standard," "Encounter," and "Assault" modes)
Teams: 30 players each
Vehicles: Tier X only
Map: Nebelburg
Objectives: Capture the enemy base or destroy all enemy vehicles

Joining the Battle

You’re in for 30v30 combat if you own (or as soon as you buy) at least one top-tier vehicle. Starting in 9.20, all tier X tank players have a 10% chance of getting matched into a Grand Battle by default. The chances of getting a Standard Battle are set at 60%, with a 15% chance of playing Encounter or Assault. These are the odds you get when lots of players queueing to hit the battlefield; the numbers differ when there are considerably fewer people.

The new format might cause frame rate issues on low-performance PCs, making World of Tanks practically turn-based! That's not enjoyable, especially when it happens unexpectedly, so to alleviate the problem, Grand Battle is disabled by default on weaker PCs. If you want to check out the mode regardless, you can enable it manually from your in-game settings on World of Tanks.
