Today we’d like to share some more details regarding Research bonuses for new nations. Let’s get right to it! We plan to release this feature before the next major update. Additionally, we’re planning to start internal testing by our team on the main server next week. Afterwards, you’ll be able to test the feature too and if all works well we’ll be good to go - once the live test starts we’ll let everyone know. Regarding visuals, earlier on we shared some very basic concepts, but here’s what the feature will look like (part of it at least) once it's implemented into the game.

[*] The bonus will be active for 3 battles per day for each nation where the player doesn’t have the top vehicle of the same type unlocked (aircraft, bluewater ships and coastal vessels, ground vehicles, helicopters). [*] The bonus will be calculated from the base earned RP in the same way as the Skill bonus is. [*] The bonus works in any Random battles game mode, and will be applied if a vehicle of this kind was used in it. For example the bonus for aircraft will also be added to the base reward acquired on aviation not only in Air battles, but in Ground or Naval battles as well.
