Update 1.1

Main Changes

1. New campaign of Personal Missions: Second Front

• The new campaign includes three operations:
• Operation: Excalibur (immediately after the update release)
• Operation: Chimera (approximately on 26.09.2018)
• Operation: Object 279 (e) (approximately on 17.10.2018)
• 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:
  • 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
• 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.
• 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).
• 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.
• Each completed mission is rewarded with credits, consumables, etc. A completed operation is rewarded with a unique vehicle that cannot be received otherwise.
• 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.
• Indicator of Personal Missions in the Garage shows missions of each campaign separately.
• 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.

  • The main screen is completely reworked to display missions of both campaigns at the same time.
