The Xbox 360 edition of World of Tanks has received its first content update. In addition to tossing in a new map and some new tanks, the 1.1 update adds in the game's Crew system to help make running the mechanical behemoths a little bit easier.

The Crew feature allows players to recruit crew members to manage new tanks. Crew members must be assigned various skills and perks, which can be suited to the user's play style and also improve the overall effectiveness of the tank. Any XP earned prior to 1.1 will be taken into account and allocated to any new crew members. For more information on this new feature, you can watch the video below.

The 1.1 update also adds the new Himmelsdorf map. Players can either engage in the open courtyard area or attempt to take the high ground by capturing the eastern hill. The newest tanks to take the battlefield include the Cromwell (tier VI), Comet (tier VII), Centurion I (tier VIII), Centurion 7/1 (tier IX), and FV4202 (tier X).

The full update notes can be found here.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
