However, after a certain period of time, this hard rule will become a soft one, meaning that if the queue has a significant number of SPGs waiting (or not enough other vehicles in the queue), the matchmaker will allow 3 SPGs per side. In all situations, the matchmaker will prefer to choose another vehicle from the queue instead of selecting a 3rd SPG, but in rare cases in which no other vehicle type is available or the SPG queue becomes too big, the matchmaker will fill that slot with a 3rd SPG to decrease the waiting time.įor the initial implementation of this limit, the matchmaker will try to strictly assemble battles with no more than 2 SPGs per side. The 3 SPG per team scenario will only occur when absolutely necessary.

From now on, the matchmaker will aim to keep the number of battles with 3 SPGs per team to an absolute minimum. The majority of battles will have 0–2 SPGs per team. The second important change concerns the number of SPGs per team. To support these changes and avoid a significant increase in the waiting time for light tanks in a Platoon, we are also introducing a limit of no more than one light/wheeled tank in a Platoon from Tier VII onward. We will also limit the number of wheeled tanks to 1 vehicle per team. Plus, wheeled vehicles will now be more strictly balanced between teams. This means that there will be far fewer battles in which the two teams have an unmatched number of light tanks. The matchmaker will now be stricter when balancing light tanks between teams and will always try to match light tanks so that both teams have identical vehicles. To improve your battle experience, we’re introducing new rules for balancing light and wheeled tanks. We will be closely monitoring how this feature affects waiting time and combat metrics, and then adjust if necessary. The limit on the number of light and wheeled tanks in a Platoon is an experimental feature.
