1.4 Steel Rain August 12th!

1.4 Red Steel Rain
Red Steel Rain arrives in World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition on
August 12! This newest content update brings two new maps into
the rotation, and a total of 15 new vehicles, including the
Soviet Artillery line! We are also introducing a new feature to
the game: Platoon Battles. Check out the update overview below,
or if you'd prefer to see all of the detailed changes, see the
full update notes.
New Maps
Find yourself in new territory with Red Steel Rain, as two new
maps are added to the mix. Battles on the urban Port map may
even occur on a snowy night. Whereas the new Live Oaks map is
rainy.

Live Oaks
New Vehicles
In Red Steel Rain, the Soviet tech tree branches off into a line
of artillery vehicles, plus the KV-2 heavy tank. Additionally,
you'll find four new light tanks added to the German tech tree.
Check out the list and gallery below!
U.S.S.R.

KV-2 (tier VI)
Artillery
SU-18 (tier II)
SU-26 (tier III)

Object 261 (tier X)
Germany
Light Tanks
Pz.Kpfw. I (tier II)
Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. C (tier III)
VK 28.01 (tier VI)
Aufklärungspanzer
Panther (tier VII)
Platoon Battles
The new Platoon Battle system is meant to encourage and allow
for more team play without splitting up players into different
modes, which can make matchmaking more challenging. With that
in mind, we are allowing all Platoons to match with each other
in matched pairs.
Some example configurations:
7 vs 7
(7+7) vs (7+7)
(7+4+4) vs (7+4+4)
(7+5+3) vs (7+5+3)
Currently, a configuration like (7+5) vs (7+3+2) is not allowed.
Other details:
Platoons can contain up to 7 Platoon mates
Platoon sizes of 4-7 will match in pairs in Platoon Battle
matchmaking only
Platoon sizes of 2-3 will match to fill out Platoon Battles in
pairs if available, and match with individual players when
Platoon Battles are unavailable
Tier restrictions and team makeups are unchanged from Update
1.3
We will be data mining every Platoon match to see the popularity
of Platoon size, average Platoon make-up and if wacky Platoons
become an issue (for example, all artillery vehicles). Those
teams may be fun to try, but will always lose to a balanced team
of any sort. We'll also be looking to your feedback on how we
shape this feature going forward!

Hopefully it works better than it did in the supertest. 7 man
platoons didn't work that good hopefully with more players on
the live servers they will work better.

Looking forward to the update! And Port is a very interesting
map. I will see if we can get it posted later today.
7 v 7 is a welcome addition, and all the new Arty should make a
lot of people happy. I might actually go down the Russian Arty
line myself!

I agree Chris. We really did not have a chance to test this as
much as I would have liked. Here's hopin we won't have too
many issues!

Sweet I tend to like the urban maps, Himmelsdorf is probably one
of my favs, in a light especially. New arty is nice but I've
given up on it as a whole for now, but that new new line in the
germans......(great just what I need another line to grind lol)
