"Replacement" tanks to balance vehicles in battle

With the introduction of the "soft" rule for the matchmaker that forms teams from two adjacent Battle Ratings when there are enough players, the balance between players has noticeably improved.

Nevertheless, matches with BR I-III and BR III-V still sometimes occur to this day, which means there's a chance that a player might encounter an enemy tank with two BR higher than their own. The BR difference has a much larger impact on tanks than on firearms, so in the next major update, we are introducing a new mechanic designed to alleviate this problem!

Tanker squads of BR I in battles I-III and BR III in battles III-V, who find themselves in a fight against the most formidable opponents in terms of BR, will be able to spawn in a "replacement" tank supplied by command when clicking on the additional spawn point located next to the standard one!

What kind of tanks?

You don't have to buy or even unlock them! These are combat vehicles that you can spawn with in a battle under the following conditions - if the enemy has a tank on the battlefield with the maximum possible BR of that session, and yours is at least two BR lower.

In a BR I-III battle, if you only have a BR I tank, after an opponent spawns with a BR III tank, you will have the opportunity to switch to a BR II tank instead of your own. Same for BR III-V, if your opponent uses a BR V tank and your tank is at least 2 BR lower, you will have access to a BR IV tank.

If the enemy's higher BR tank is destroyed before you spawn in battle, this additional tank spawn point will disappear.

It's important to note that these tanks won’t have any upgrades. Even if you already have the same tanks purchased and upgraded in your hangar, their upgrades will not transfer to the replacements.

Your selected tankers will act as the temporary crew of the new tank. If your squad consists of more soldiers than the tank’s maximum crew size, some of your soldiers will have to stay behind. If less than that, no new tankers will be added to to your squad to fill the missing roles.
