Patch V1.1.3.0 (3rd June 2024)
Greetings, Arms Dealers!
1.1.3.0 Patch is finally available for you!
This patch introduces a lot of changes to the game with the focus on tank contracts and relation building with the customer countries. The tank design process has also been revisited, allowing players to tweak the armour protection of structural components and making tank “cloning” a more playable option.
More efforts have also been spent on the QoL side, with the most prominent ones being the possibility to advance time from anywhere in the game, addition of various filters and sorting options and enriching multiple tooltips with useful info. Components have been the subject of a major overhaul, resulting in more variation between individual modifications.
As always, we also did a good portion of bug hunting and corrections. Please, have a look at the complete Patch details below or check the update note directly from the game.
Last but not least, the next update (1.1.4.0) will finally introduce something that many have been requesting - a totally new content, the Interbellum tanks. The tanks that will be added are an interesting mix of rare and iconic tanks from the Interwar epoch and we truly hope that you will enjoy them as you progress through the game.
The team is working diligently to bring you the next update as soon as possible. However, in order to ensure a polished and high-quality release, we must shift the timeline slightly. You can expect the update to be available in the near future.
We greatly appreciate your continued understanding and patience.

Update 1.1.3.0 content:
Features:

Reputation points are added to the game. These points are acquired by successful fulfilling the contracts, generated by several new facilities, administrator perks or attained as achievement rewards

Armor thickness of structural components is now adjustable from the Engineering Bureaux. Note that extra protection comes at higher mass and production costs!

Contract lobbying is now introduced. Depending on your reputation Tier with the contract, you can initiate limited number of tank contracts if the conditions are met. This feature is accessible from the diplomacy screen of the corresponding country

Introduced cancellation mechanics. Now, you can cancel, at any time, the accepted contract and monetise delivered tanks at the cost of the cancellation fee. Note, this fee is dynamic and will increase as the contract approached the deadline

Added multiple tooltips and explanation, providing details for all new contract features

-
“Clone” button is now locked for designed that have not been completed

-
Purchased trophy tanks now disappear from the diplomacy window

Each trophy tank displays how many new, undiscovered tank components it holds to simplify the decision

Greetings, Arms Dealers!
Thank you for taking time to provide feedback and report encountered bugs. The first patch is here. With it we address most of critical stability issues encountered. We have also, revisited the balance of several game elements, made several QoL changes and corrected some of the typos and missing text issues.
In the next patch we will continue to improve game stability, but we will focus more on QoL changes. Our first target is to revisit the event system and make it more convenient to use. There have been many questions asked about the additional eras – the work is already in full swing on the Interwar Era. A more precise time timeline will be presented in a future dev updates.
