Greetings, Arms Dealers!

We are very excited to share with you the WW2 Era Update!

With a new World War approaching, the tank engineers are rushing to perfect their design and prepare them for the challenges that are approaching. Follow their tracks or design your own tank combining the technologies of the Interwar and WW2 era!

Starting Monday March 31st 10:00 AM PST / 1PM EST the game will also have a Daily Deal with a 25% discount! It's the perfect time to jump in and experience the game at it's finest!

Update Summary:

• 12 new vehicles added including British, German, Russian and American tanks. It is important to note that we will continue to add WW2 tanks to the game as we continue the development
  
• A total of 170+ research nodes introducing new components, modifications, and expendables
  
• The possibility to combine and mix components from the Interwar and WW2 periods
  
• Tank role roster expanded with 12 new roles to account for WW2 vehicles
  
• Expanded factory ground functionality with new facilities, new administrator characters and additional process lines to pipeline your activities
  
• Several important QoL improvements including Part compatibility assistant, component and part archiving and Design assistant in Engineering bureau and others
  
• Extended possibility to select the Start era of your game into WW2 period
  
• Game localization to 5 languages including German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Polish

The new era brings a rebalance to certain aspects of the game. We believe that these adjustments will enhance the overall experience, making it more enjoyable and immersive. Additionally, we have dedicated significant time to implementing crucial quality-of-life improvements based on your continuous feedback on Steam and our Discord channel.

However, please note that due to the extensive nature of these changes, your saved game files will not be compatible with version 1.1.8.0. Although we made every effort to ensure compatibility, the sheer magnitude of the alterations proved to be too substantial. To compensate for that, you can also select the Era 3 for a start-up!
Thank you for your continued understanding and patience!
