‘World of Tanks Blitz’ Update 2.8 Finally Makes Playing Tier IX-X Worth Your Time

TouchArcade Rating:

World of Tanks Blitz (Free) is one of those games that hits a great balance between short, fun gameplay and long-term goals, and that’s why I often return to it. The way you advance in WOT Blitz is by researching higher Tier tanks up to the top Tier X beasts. And trust me when I say, going to Tier X takes a long, long time. However, an issue that WOT Blitz has had pretty much since the beginning was that higher Tier tanks (especially Tier IX-X) would often cost you money rather than give you money even when you won, and that was due to the high cost of repairs after each round. Now, Wargaming.net has finally decided to fix this issue with Update 2.8 that aims to make playing higher tier tanks worth playing.

More specifically, the repair cost and profitability for Tier VIII-X vehicles has been reworked while for Tier IV-VII only profitability has been adjusted. What that means for players is that you’ll make more money when you play your higher tier tanks and you’ll pay less to repair them, all good news for us who were hesitant to take those higher tier tanks for a ride. And the changes are substantial, with some tanks seeing repair costs decreased by more than 40%. Update 2.8 is also bringing new Soviet Tank Destroyers, additional slots for Provisions, updates to maps, and more. The patch is live, so go check out the new tanks and go here for the full patchnotes.
