Artillery now have three available shell types, all with their own purpose in battle, trajectory and velocity, granting a greater variety of tactical opportunities to arty players.

However, SPGs aren't missing out on the fun either. With the latest update, tankers will now have 3 tactical features at their disposal: Sound Detection is a new Commander-only perk which will warn those in the danger zone that an artillery shell is incoming through a special indicator, brighter shell tracers will allow players to better gauge from where an SPG has fired and the field of fire markers will let tankers know where an SPG recently fired (this marker will appear on the minimap for 10 seconds). SPGs have changed a great deal since their inception in World Of Tanks, and it became clear more artillery countermeasures were needed to level the playing field somewhat. The heaviest change that players will notice is the new capabilities they now have to combat those vehicles that rain shells from the sky. We have the full rundown from the devs below along with two trailers going into detail. They've also added in a brand-new mode, the Season 5 Battle Pass, and interface improvements. Some of those changes will be applied to areas like the HE shells and SPG (self-propelled gun) countermeasures. While it's not the biggest update the game has ever seen, Update 1.13 is essentially a major reworking of core mechanics that will change the way you play. Wargaming revealed the next update being added to World Of Tanks as players will be seeing a massive artillery gameplay update.
