๐Ÿ”ผFollowing the Roadmap: Vehicle Research Bonuses

Today, weโ€™re ready to present to you the final version of the Vehicle Research Bonuses, which has just gone live today! For those of you who participated in the recent testing, the following changes have been made since then:

โ–ช๏ธThe number of battles with a bonus has increased from 3 to 5;
โ–ช๏ธA 25% bonus has been added to ranks I-III;
โ–ช๏ธWhile a vehicle is considered new, the bonus does not apply to it;
โ–ช๏ธThe bonus will stay active for all remaining vehicles in a tree even if you have the top vehicle unlocked;
โ–ช๏ธThe bonus now applies to the top vehicle in each nation as well. Due to this weโ€™ve dropped โ€œnew nationsโ€ in the name of the bonus. It has instead been renamed to Vehicle Research Bonuses.

If you didnโ€™t participate in the recent testing or would like a recap, this article explains how research bonuses will work after the changes made from your testing and your feedback.

๐Ÿ“œPages of History (October): Pacific Ace๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

In this monthโ€™s Pages of History, youโ€™ll be at the center of events that took place in different theaters of war. Belarus, the Philippines, Egypt and Hungary: take part in battles with the vehicles corresponding to these historic battles and receive prizes.
From October 1st until October 31st, youโ€™ll be offered 8 tasks consecutively. Completing each will reward you with a trophy, and completing all of them will earn you a unique player icon.

You can immediately purchase this profile icon for Golden Eagles until November 3rd, 11:30 GMT without completing tasks. To find it, go to your Nickname โ†’ Achievements โ†’ Pages of History.
