1.1.3.0 Patch is finally available for you!
This patch introduces a lot of changes to the game with the focus on tank contracts and relation building with the customer countries. The tank design process has also been revisited, allowing players to tweak the armour protection of structural components and making tank “cloning” a more playable option.
More efforts have also been spent on the QoL side, with the most prominent ones being the possibility to advance time from anywhere in the game, addition of various filters and sorting options and enriching multiple tooltips with useful info. Components have been the subject of a major overhaul, resulting in more variation between individual modifications.
As always, we also did a good portion of bug hunting and corrections. Please, have a look at the complete Patch details below or check the update note directly from the game.
Last but not least, the next update (1.1.4.0) will finally introduce something that many have been requesting - a totally new content, the Interbellum tanks. The tanks that will be added are an interesting mix of rare and iconic tanks from the Interwar epoch and we truly hope that you will enjoy them as you progress through the game.
The team is working diligently to bring you the next update as soon as possible. However, in order to ensure a polished and high-quality release, we must shift the timeline slightly. You can expect the update to be available in the near future.
We greatly appreciate your continued understanding and patience.

Update 1.1.3.0 content:
Features:
- Country diplomacy is revisited. A new, tier reputation system is introduced with various negotiation options coupled to reputation tier of the country
- Reputation points are added to the game. These points are acquired by successful fulfilling the contracts, generated by several new facilities, administrator perks or attained as achievement rewards
- Armor thickness of structural components is now adjustable from the Engineering Bureaux. Note that extra protection comes at higher mass and production costs!
- Contract system is revisited: [list]
- Contract lobbying is now introduced. Depending on your reputation Tier with the contract, you can initiate limited number of tank contracts if the conditions are met. This feature is accessible from the diplomacy screen of the corresponding country
- Introduced cancellation mechanics. Now, you can cancel, at any time, the accepted contract and monetise delivered tanks at the cost of the cancellation fee. Note, this fee is dynamic and will increase as the contract approached the deadline
- Introduced delay mechanics. Now, you can miss several days past the promised deadline at the cost of the delay fee. This fee depends on the promised amount of tanks and agreed price. Note, maximum delay is currently set at 30 days
- Contracts now feature not only focus groups but also focus attributes that are deemed more important for the employed tank roles. Make sure to comply to contracts requirements to maximize the attractiveness of your tank designs
- Added multiple tooltips and explanation, providing details for all new contract features
