Time once again for big bushel of content in World of Tanks Update 9.7! New tanks, a bold new map, and a new twist on a fun mode are the highlights for this season's update goodness. Let's take a look!

New Tanks

The French tech tree gets a shot in the proverbial arm with a selection of seven new light and medium tanks:

FCM 36 (tier II light)

(tier II light) Renault R35 (tier II light)

(tier II light) Somua S35 (tier III medium)

(tier III medium) SARL 42 (tier IV medium)

(tier IV medium) Renault G1 (tier V medium)

(tier V medium) AMX 30 1st prototype (tier IX medium)

(tier IX medium) AMX 30 B (tier X medium)

These European meanies have their own unique strengths, and add some welcome variety to the French line in general. Make your way towards them soon!



AMX 30 B

SARL 42

Renault R35

Somua S35



In the Premium Shop, players also get a chance to buy the T-54 first prototype medium tank (USSR tier VIII)!

Team Battle Revamp

The 7v7 Team Battle mode is getting serious with the addition of permanent teams -- not quite the same as Clans, but similarly formed for groups of players who want to dominate in a new way. Teams can now also prove themselves on a global leaderboard with a ladder system of leagues and divisions, and earn new achievements for their mastery!

Overlord Map

9.7 also introduces Overlord, a brand-new map based on the Invasion of Normandy of 1944. A mix of beach and grassland make up this interesting new battlescape.
