2.1.2 download will be another big one. It will be available tomorrow (Wednesday) so we're having the session on Thursday (so you'll have that 1-day heads up to get the download going).

Session Focus
XB1 download times for 2.1.2 build
2.1.2 should also create faster load times for XB1 players heading into battles
New premium tank (for both consoles - stay tuned to this thread when I update it!)
​Are you able to purchase the bundle just fine and get the promised items which are part of it?
Do inscriptions, camo, and emblems apply correctly to the new tank?
And of course, how do we feel about the balance of the tank itself in-battle? Overpowered? Underpowered?

Testing Tips
Because we're checking a new tank and XB1 battle load times, let's not even bother with Team Training for this session. Let's stick to Regular Battle Queue and Playtest Rules. Shoot, shoot, shoot!
If you're available in the later hours of the session, please hop on and play a few battles with our Pacific time zone pals.
When balance-testing the new tank, please be open to playing other tanks within the tier chart schedule. We want to see how it performs against other tanks and not just against itself.

Rules of Engagement
As usual, we’ll be testing from 12 pm to 10 pm CST. Please prioritize Battle Queue over testing in Proving Grounds or Team Training. Proving Grounds can be a last resort if nobody is on.
Forget Team Training for this session. No real reason to use it and our primary focus doesn't require it.
When you're in Regular Battle Queue, feel free to conduct yourself under Playtest rules. Shoot, shoot, shoot! Please remember though that a playtest is meant to replicate the Live environment as much as possible. Use premium rounds as sparingly as you would in a Live battle. Please reference the tier chart (which I'll post soon) for when to queue up with what tiers.

*Important*
For our XB1 pals and that big update, our devs want your help checking the download times for that. So even though the "official" session is on Thursday, I'm going to post an Impromptu XB1 Test thread tomorrow for us to report download times.
