The new feature Supply will be introduced for Clans. Supply is a set of unique discounts on equipment, consumables, and vehicles, as well as bonuses and special offers only available to clan members. Join battles and make your contribution towards unlocking new Supply levels, and receiving new bonuses and special offers.

Fixes & Improvements
Mechanics for setting the range of the teams’ balance, depending on the online rate of the cluster, realized. When the online rate reaches 10,000 players, the balance difference will equal zero; when the online rate is lower, there will be a 5% dispersion. Together with that, waiting time may slightly increase; however, the quality of the teams, in terms of vehicle tier, will improve greatly.
Appearance of both Garages (standard and premium) reworked.
The map Copperfield removed from high-tier battles; now it will be available for Tier II–V battles.
Icons and characteristics of guns with feed drums added for the vehicles in the game.
Missions added for Japanese vehicles: “Onslaught: Japan”, “Military Academy: Japan”, “Domination: Japan”, and “Challenge: Japan”.
Sounds added to the Clan autorecruiting screen.
Sounds for folding/unfolding the contact list in the chat added.
