Our most engaged players are probably aware of a mode called Team Battles. Team Battles are played in a special format (7/54 players, 2 bases), which is not used in other game modes.
Team Battles was originally developed because it was aligned with our competitive format. But while World of Tanks evolved, Team Battles didn't follow and became a niche, outdated mode with no progression or goals. Additionally, it doesn't currently sync with our current core formats.
With all of this in mind, we have decided to disable the Team Battles mode with the release of Update 1.6.
