World of Tanks 2.2.1: Full Charge 26) Patch Notes (20th April 2026)

Main Changes

New Tier XI Vehicles

Three new researchable Tier XI vehicles that continue existing vehicle branches have been added to the Tech Tree:

• Gorilla — American tank destroyer, researched after the T110E4. It features a Multi-Pack Charge System that enables its gun to fire with reduced efficiency before it fully reloads.
• Fauteur — French heavy tank, researched after the AMX M4 mle. 54. It features an Induction Propellant Afterburner that automatically accumulates charge over time, which is partially consumed to boost damage when firing. The charge has a limit that can be manually disabled for even more damage, at the cost of worsened gun handling.
• Executor — British medium tank researched after the Concept No. 5. It features a High-Pressure Turbocharger Assist system that boosts its acceleration, engine power, and top forward and reverse speed for a short time. Maintaining a high movement speed reduces the mechanic's cooldown time.

Map Changes

Klondike

The map has been redesigned for Standard Battles: its size has been reduced and most positions have been reworked. The central area has been expanded to diversify gameplay for light tanks, while the southern part of the map now features fortified positions to allow heavy tanks to engage each other more safely. The northern area's terrain features make it more comfortable for medium tanks, and terrain has also been modified around the base areas and close to the map borders.

• Map Size: The map has been reduced from 1400x1400 to 1100x1100 m to better fit the Standard Battles format.
• Port Area (H7-H9, J7-J8, G8-G9): The southeast has been completely redesigned and cover has been added to make gameplay more diverse for all vehicle types.
• Route Adjustment (J6-K6, J7, F9-F0, G9): The approaches to the port area have been reworked, with extra cover added to provide safer routes toward key positions.
• Center (F5-F6, Е5-Е6): Undulating terrain and new flora have been added to improve the gameplay experience for light and maneuverable vehicles.
• Defensive Positions Near Bases (H3-G4, B7-C7-D7): New positions for tank destroyers allow for increased control of the central part of the map and covering fire for allied vehicles.
• Terrain Modification (C5-D5, B4-B5, E2-E4, D2): New terrain and vegetation have been added for greater variety in both offensive and defensive play.
• Area Behind Bases (А8-А0, B8-B0, K1-K2, J1-J2, H1-H2): New ravines and vegetation have been added behind the bases to diversify gameplay in the later stages of battle.

Serene Coast

The main goal of the changes is to offer more opportunities for heavy tanks and well-armored vehicles by introducing new positions and improving overall connectivity. This should make gameplay more dynamic and varied, while still preserving the map’s advantages for fast and sniper-focused vehicles.

• Center (C2-F5): A hill with a railway tunnel has been added, and the whole central area has been reworked to allow well-armored vehicles to fight across a range of distances and levels.
• Upper Direction (1st and 2nd Lines): This area has been adjusted along with the center of the map. Now maneuverable and weaker-armored vehicles can fight here, using camouflage and engaging enemies on the front line as well as vehicles near the top of the central hill.
• Coastline (E7-H9): The coastal area has been reworked to improve gameplay for long-distance snipers. The positions open up lines of sight to enemies on the front line, tank destroyers, and vehicles in the center of the map.
• Tank Destroyer Positions (H6, D7): New positions for TDs have been added for better control of the lake's shoreline, and shoot-throughs have opened up to the top of the central hill.

Pearl River

Changes to the southwestern and central areas aim to refresh the gameplay experience and better support the strengths of maneuverable vehicles, snipers, and scouts, which previously had limited options on this map. The cover and timings in the northeastern heavy tank direction have also been adjusted to improve balance between teams.

• Center: A new route has been added to the central hill in F5, allowing different types of vehicles to occupy it. The cave has been moved to F4-G5, meaning it no longer blocks firing lines, while a new hill in G4 divides the direction and provides equal opportunities for fast vehicles from both teams.
• New Cover (F0): New cover in this area provides heavy tanks a safer advance toward the enemy base.
• Heavy Tank Direction (B8-E0): The heavy tank direction is now more balanced in terms of cover and time to reach key positions.
• Tank Destroyer Positions (F2, K4): These TD positions have been made more comfortable and balanced.

Battle Route Tips

A feature that highlights the most popular combat zones on the minimap has been added.

• The zones appear for a short time at the start of battle, showing the most popular points of initial contact. They are displayed on all maps for Tier VI–XI vehicles of all types except light tanks.
• The feature is enabled by default for some players, and can be disabled or enabled at any time in the game settings (Settings → General → Tips → Enable combat zones on minimap).
