World of Tanks: Common Test 1.1 Patch Notes

Main Changes

1. New campaign of Personal Missions: Second Front

1. The new campaign includes three operations:
   1. Operation: Excalibur (available right off)
   2. Operation: Chimera (becomes available after being unlocked with Orders that will be added in the evening of August 3)
   3. Operation: Object 279 (e) (will not be available within the Common Test)
2. Each operation includes 4 sets of missions. At the same time, each set can be completed in vehicles that belong to one of the national allegiances, and vehicle types are no longer a restriction. To complete a mission, players should enter a battle in a vehicle that belongs to one of the following national allegiances:

1. • Union—U.S.S.R. and China
   • Bloc—Germany and Japan
   • Alliance—U.S.A., U.K. and Poland
   • Coalition—France, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, and Italy
2. The second campaign becomes available right off irrespective of the progress in the first campaign. Thus, missions of both campaigns can be completed at the same time.
3. Each set includes 15 missions: 14 missions are available right off and can be completed in any order; at the same time, mission 15 (the final mission) becomes available after completing the rest of the missions (similarly to the first campaign).
4. All operations have different sets of conditions:
   • Operation: Excalibur—accumulative missions. A mission should be completed within an unlimited number of battles, e.g. cause 10,000 damage within an unlimited number of battles.
   • Operation: Chimera—a mission can be completed within a single battle (similarly to the first campaign)
   • Operation: Object 279 (e)—a mission should be completed within a limited number of battles. If a player fails to complete a mission, its progress will be reset, and the player will have to start anew. This operation will not be available during the test.
5. Each completed mission is rewarded with credits, consumables, etc. A completed operation is rewarded with a unique vehicle that cannot be received otherwise.
6. Players will be able to check mission progress right in battle.
   • In Update 1.1, this feature will be available only for missions of the new campaign.
   • The detailed descriptions of the accepted missions will be available in battle upon pressing Tab or N.
7. Indicator of Personal Missions in the Garage shows missions of each campaign separately.
8. Operations of the Second Front campaign will become available successively after a certain time period. Players who complete an operation before the next one becomes available will be rewarded with a corresponding unique emblem.
9. Improved the interface of the first campaign:
   • The main screen is completely reworked to display missions of both campaigns at the same time.
   • Improved the mission profile.
   • All elements were made consistent considering specifics of both campaigns.
   • New reward screens for completed Personal Missions.
