We’re proud to announce the public test of Update 1.8.3. If you’re looking to try out all the new features of the upcoming version before its official release, then the public test server is the place to be.
Not only is this a great opportunity to get a glimpse of the game’s future, but you will also be able to actively influence the final look of the update by providing valuable feedback to our developers. With your help, they will be able to test the newly created features and smooth out whatever rough edges still remain, based on the findings of the public test participants.
Please find the full list of changes in the Patch Notes section below.
When it is time to run a public test, the developers will release a test version of the client. This can be downloaded by following the instructions below. Make sure that you follow all of the instructions carefully, so that you don’t accidentally cause problems for your normal play account.
The test account is completely separate to your normal account. It will have a set of special rules for crediting experience, credits and gold. This will allow you to unlock all the contents of the game more quickly, in order for you to be able to fully test the new features.
As such you will receive:
2,000 for your 1st victory of the day
5,000 for your 10th victory of the day
Additionally, the following multipliers will be applied on the public test server:

Your test account will be a copy of your play account as it was on Wednesday 8 July. This means that all the planes purchased or researched on your regular account by this date will also be available on the public test account from the start.
The progress achieved on the test server will not carry over to your regular World of Warplanes account.
Financial transactions are not possible on the test server and payments will not be accepted.
Participation in the World of Warplanes Public Test is free. All players are eligible to take part in the public test as long as they registered before Wednesday 8th July.
The test server will run all day long without interruptions or resets. We will communicate in advance when the testing period will end and when the public test will be closed.
1. Download the test client installer.
2. Make sure you select a save location that is different to your regular World of Warplanes game files. Save and run the installer (1.8.3 SD - 4.9 GB, 1.8.3. HD – 6.3 GB).
3. Run the new copy of the game. The launcher will download all the additional data.
4. Log in and start playing. Remember to post your feedback on this forum thread.
After the single Public Test participation emblem for the 1.6 Version, we're continuing the tradition with Update 1.8.3.
From now on, every Public Test will contain a set of version-specific Battle Missions that will be uniquely tailored to the content of the update that needs testing. If you complete the minimum requirements of these battle missions (which will vary from test to test), you’ll not only be granted rewards on the Public Test itself, but also be able to unlock progressively greater achievements that will carry over to the live server.
There will be a total of ten Public Test participation achievements ranked from X-I, each with its own medal. Every Public Test, you’ll be able to unlock a new rank. That means that, ideally, if you complete the required number of battle missions at every testing opportunity, you can make it to the highest rank and score the rank I test participation medal ten versions from now. Naturally, however, you can begin collecting these achievements at any moment. The sequence starts whenever you finish the required number of missions for this test as well as any other Public Test in the future.
Check out the medals below!

Prohibiting simultaneous mounting of consumables related to the same group:
The mounting of several items is prohibited for consumables with similar effects (for example several fire extinguishers or re-starters). Appropriate types of consumables installed on the aircraft of players will be unmounted and moved to the Depot - they can be mounted again if necessary.
The mechanics of sky rendering was changed completely. Now it uses the mechanics simulating the real atmospheric light dispersion in the air. It has greatly expanded the visible space and improved the realism of the atmosphere.
