Release Notes 9.20.1

New Features

  • Update to the Personal Missions

Idea Behind Changes

  • Reworked the visual and sound component
  • Added new rewards
  • Revised mission conditions: to receive a reward vehicle, completion in vehicles of higher tiers is no longer required
  • Added Orders that simplify completion of the Personal Missions
  • Learn more about the changes to the Personal Missions in a special video that can be watched in the game client

Interface and Sound

Reworked all interfaces of the Personal Missions:

  1. Changed the point of entry to the Personal Missions: now it is located on the upper panel of the Garage, under the Battle! button. The tab name is Campaign
  2. Added the "General" screen that displays all operations
  3. Completely reworked the screen of operations: now it looks like a geographical map with objectives displayed as map areas
  4. Completely reworked the Campaign reward screen:
    1. now the main reward (a vehicle) is located in the center of the screen
    2. added operation statistics: now players can see how much more credits can be earned

Added new sounds:

  1. Added a special sound track for the Personal Missions
  2. Added interactive sounds: the more missions within a set are complete, the more intensive music is played

New Way of Earning Reward Vehicles

Commendations were replaced with Components:

  1. To receive the reward vehicle for an operation, all five Components should be collected: hull, suspension, gun, power unit, radio
  2. Each component corresponds to an appropriate mission set within the operation:
    1. Power unit: set of missions for light tanks
    2. Suspension: set of missions for medium tanks
    3. Hull (+turret or cabin): set of missions for heavy tanks
    4. Gun: set of missions for tank destroyers
    5. Radio: set of missions for SPGs
  3. To receive a component, the final (15th) mission of the corresponding set of missions should be completed

Orders

Added a new game asset: Order:

  1. To receive an Order, the final mission of any set should be completed with honors
  2. The Orders can be committed (i.e. used) to any mission. Thus:
    1. The selected mission will be considered completed without honors
    2. The player will receive the reward for the completion of the primary conditions
    3. A used Order remains committed to the mission
    4. The committed Order is not removed but disabled until the player retrieves it
  3. To retrieve a committed order, the mission should be completed with honors. Thus, the player receives the Order back and can use it again.
  4. Number of Orders to be committed to missions:
    1. Any mission from 1 to 14 requires 1 Order
    2. Mission 15 requires 4 Orders

Summary: orders can be used to pass complicated missions or missions that the player considers to be uninteresting. Important: players can commit Orders to the final mission of a set, even if the previous 14 missions are not completed. Having completed the four sets of missions with honors, players can immediately receive the last (fifth) vehicle component.

New Rewards

Added new rewards: badges

  1. The rank II badge is received together with the reward vehicle.
  2. The rank I badge is earned for completion of all 75 missions in a particular operation with honors.
  3. Two badges can be completed in each operation:
    1. After completing all missions in all operations, the player will receive the special unique badge: Campaign I Champion

Added new rewards: Camouflage patterns:

  1. A set of three Camouflage patterns for the reward vehicle is earned for completion of all 75 missions
  2. The same set of Camouflage patterns becomes available for any vehicle of the nation the reward vehicle belongs to, once all 75 missions are completed with honors
  3. A set of three unique Camouflage patterns (summer, winter, and desert) can be earned for completion of each operation:

Changes to the Mission Conditions

Missions in each operation were revised to correspond to the main reward. For example, now all missions of the StuG IV operation can be completed in Tier V vehicles; missions of the T28 Heavy Tank Concept operation can be completed in VII vehicles, etc. At the same time, participation restrictions remained unchanged. Players can complete missions of any operation even in Tier X vehicles.

Secondary conditions of final (15th) missions in each set were made more diverse. This is because of the fact that the additional reward of the final missions became more valuable: it now provides Orders.

Important! If the mission condition requires spotting 5 enemy vehicles (for example), and the player spots 7 vehicles, it is obvious that the mission is considered completed. This rule is true for all numeric conditions.

Bonds and Awards

Starting with Update 9.20.1, the Epic Medals and Battle Heroes achievements will be additionally rewarded with Bonds. Exceptions are accumulative medals. The number of Bonds is not final and might change.

Improvements to Bootcamp

Changes:

  • Disabled irrelevant options in the context menus of the vehicle research window, Tech Tree, and vehicle panel
  • Balanced the rewards (credits and experience) for victory and defeat when completing Bootcamp
  • Rewards received for completion of Bootcamp are displayed in the Notification Center
  • Added a notification that the reward is not received for repeated Bootcamp completion
  • Crew recruiting window was made more informative

Fixes:

  • Fixed issues related to inappropriate display of some interface elements in the Colorblind mode
  • Fixed issues related to saving and restoring the settings when entering Bootcamp and quitting it (vehicle panel and reticles)
  • Fixed issues related to inappropriate display of some game hints (losing concealment when shooting, returning to the base circle)
  • Fixed the rare issue related to inappropriate display of the Skip Tutorial button
  • Battle results were removed from the Notification Center in the mode
  • Fixed the issue related to display of the EULA window, when the game client is restarted

  • Music in battle, Garage, and in the final Bootcamp video no longer overlap
  • Added reward descriptions to the victory screen
  • Fixed issues related to bot behavior
  • Fixed the issues related to display of map borders

Improvements to the Grand Battle

The following changes were made to this battle type:

  1. Message about victory or defeat: added a new message about victory of defeat so that players know when and why the battle ended. The message displays separate animations for victory, defeat, and draw. The additional text provides information why the battle is over. When a battle ends because the base is captured, the progress bar of base capturing gets locked right before the message is displayed to show that the battle outcome cannot be changed. This functionality globally applies to all Random and Ranked Battles.
  2. Updated the reward tooltips that describe different completion conditions for the Grand Battle and other types of Random Battles. They were changed for simplicity of perception.
  3. Improved the HUD in the Grand Battle: transparency of the team list background was decreased to make information more legible on light backgrounds (sky, water, etc.) Borders were added in the top panel to make the empty progress bars more distinctive.

Switching to Wwise 2017.1.1

Switched to the new version, Wwise 2017.1.1, which allows further sound improvements.

Improvements to the Matchmaker

  • Now, the matchmaker attempts to assemble the teams considering the roles within the vehicle types: e.g., the Maus is matched against another Maus, Type 5 Heavy, or E 100, while the T57 Heavy is matched against the AMX 50B, etc. However, in some situations, the matchmaking by roles will not be mirrored, e.g. in case of Platoons that comprise vehicles of different roles.
  • Increased the chance of getting ranked at the top of the list for Platoon players.
  • Equal chances of getting ranked in the top/middle/bottom of the list for different vehicle classes (previously, heavy and medium tanks would end up in single-level battles way too often, while SPGs and TDs tended to get ±2 and ±1 setups).
  • Increased the chance of getting matched in a Grand Battle.
