Update 1.2: List of Changes

List of Changes

1. Main Changes:

Changes to Personal Missions:

• The third operation (Object 279 early) of the new campaign is available:
  • Added three new mission types to be completed within a certain number of battles; otherwise, progress is reset. The three mission types are as follows:
    • Accumulative: Achieve a certain value by a specified parameter; mission lasts until the player fulfills the set of conditions or runs out of attempts.
    • Series: Complete the set condition within several battles; the number of attempts is bigger than the number of required completions.
    • Continuous: Require fulfilling the set condition in every battle of the series; a failed attempt interrupts the series.
  • A Pause button (in the operation’s mission profiles) allows suspending a mission; during this time progress is not lost and preserved until the player continues.
• Reward Screen Improvements:
  • Displays cumulative conditions in the operation profile according to the common interface of such missions.
  • Displays missions with interchangeable conditions properly ("OR")
• Improved the mission profile by removing the Cancel button.

2. Maps:

Maps Reworked in HD:

• Empire's Border (for Tier IV-X vehicles; available in Standard, Encounter, and Assault modes)
• Widepark (for Tier IV-VI vehicles; available in Standard mode)
• Highway (for Tier IV-X vehicles, available in Standard mode)

Map Balance Changes:

• Overlord

3. Changes to the Exterior interface:

• Improved interaction with the radial menu
• Added Tajikistan and Turkmenistan flag Emblems

4. Clan-Related Changes:

• All players who belong to a clan get a style applicable to a vehicle of any nation (the all-season style changes depending on the map type); the style is added to the player’s account when they join a clan and removed when the they leave the clan.
• The Stronghold option was replaced with the Clans option for non-clan players; also changed the option content.
• The Clan screen now provides information about clans and their advantages and a list of clan players can join without application approval (immediately after clicking the button).
• Players can now create a clan for Credits (instead of Gold); creating a clan costs 1,000,000 Credits.

5. Known Issues:

• The base-capture badge can display prematurely — even before the indicated number of points has been accumulated.
• In the damage log, the order of events for received damage is sometimes mixed up.
• Mission conditions text is not displayed in the congratulations window — provided the required vehicle type is specified in the mission conditions.
• When a spotted enemy vehicle is stunned, it is no longer visible; if the stunned player uses a First Aid Kit, while still unspotted, the stun indicator is still displayed above the vehicle to enemies when spotted again.
• If the player has not enabled the "Show in Postmortem mode vehicle that destroyed your vehicle" option, the log disappears when a vehicle is destroyed.
