World of Tanks is prepping for its latest patch, and the 0.6.4 upgrade is scheduled to go live on May 17th. Balance changes for vehicles, combat, and non-combat mechanics are on the menu, as are overhauls to the garage and battle UIs as well as a few graphical and performance tweaks.

New vehicles include the premium heavy Lowe, KV-5, KV-13, and Pz38NA in addition to the Object 261, GW-E, and T-92. Wargaming.net has also improved World of Tanks' vehicle movement system, which has resulted in the elimination of the sticking bug that rendered vertical surfaces and map borders problematic.

The 0.6.4 patch also includes two new maps, and you can check out a nifty video of the Mountain Pass and Prairie regions courtesy of our earlier coverage. Make tracks to the official World of Tanks website for the full patch notes. And when you're done reading up, head over to celebrate on WoT's Facebook page, where the team has recently announced a new concurrency record of 155,000 players!

And we're all waiting with bated breath. This patch will hopefully alleviate some of the problems that are complained about (matchmaking, spotting, tracking) and add to the already great gameplay.

Ya should be a very good patch per the notes....aside from inexplicably lowering the already dead last the German TD and Tank DPS through a ROF nerf... Overall a great game and I love it, but they really need to address some of the game imbalances.

Looking forward to the patch, although I will be passing on the premium tanks for now. $40 for 1 tank (in a 'world of tanks') is not my idea of a micro transaction.
