<

Where will the CBT be held?

«

On the main server (production). It means that when you are a tester you will get an opportunity to research and purchase all current Japanese ground vehicles and play with all other players.

Will CBT progress be reset?

«

It is not planned. All vehicles that you research and purchase in CBT will remain, as well as any researched crew skills for the vehicles.

How many tasks will there be?

«

More than 12, so you can afford to miss a few days but we do recommend that you don’t delay completing them. The tasks will be available throughout the CBT.

When will I receive the premium vehicles and vehicles from early access packs?

«

With the release of update 1.65 “Way Of The Samurai”, when Japanese ground vehicles are added to the game.

I purchased a pack with Japanese ground vehicles which gave me access to CBT, but didn’t receive my forum award and my forum status is still the same.

«

The closed forum, forum group and forum award will be granted only when the update is released. Don’t forget to re-login into your account.

Should I complete the tasks before the update is released?

«

Of course, you should complete them as soon as you can! The update and completion of the tasks are not connected. You can start earning the shurikens straight away and these will count in the total.

You promised to switch on Japan in RB squadron battles again together with the release of the Japanese ground vehicles. When is it planned?

«

Japan will be added again to squadron battles back when the CBT ends.
