• We have implemented a minimum installation and background downloading. After the minimal installation, all Garage features and tier I tank battles are possible while the rest of the game downloads in the background
• You can now toggle which map you want visible in your HUD; the tank heading circular minimap, or the static full square strategic map

• Added a Vehicle Filter option in the Garage that allows you to filter your vehicles by nation, tier, vehicle type, Premium, and/or daily bonus! To use, press Up on the d-pad or left stick
• Multiple post-battle results are now available in the Log tab. Go to the “Log” tab and find the entry for the battle you want to see. Press A to pull up that particular set of battle results. The Log only retains battle results from your current gaming session
• Sniper camera effects have been added to better communicate when you are on fire, your engine has been damaged/destroyed, or your optics have been damaged/destroyed
• Camouflage displayed in the Garage is now last battle played, this is on a vehicle by vehicle basis. No more reverting to the Winter camo by default!
• All permanent customization items purchased with Gold are saved and can be re-applied at any time to the vehicle on which they were unlocked
