WoT: Update 1.10.1 Common Test Patchnotes

~ Sebastianul

Main Changes

Ranked Battles

  • We added a special progressive decal: Rank Level. Its level can be increased in Ranked Battles.
  • The coefficients of the “teamkiller” status have been revised. Now a player who systematically stuns allied vehicles will gain the “teamkiller” status faster.
  • We improved the mode’s interfaces.

Improvements to Equipment 2.0

  • Equipment of an inappropriate class for Tier II–VII vehicles will be demounted once the update is released.
  • The vehicle configuration screen interface has been improved. It now displays shell prices and improved indicators for different ammo types.
  • We implemented “drag and drop” as a way to change the order of shells in the ammo rack.
  • Other interface improvements and bug fixes were made.

Changed FoV for widescreen monitors

The FoV system for widescreen monitors has been updated: it has increased both the amount of information displayed, as well as its quality.

  • Owners of widescreen monitors will notice the difference in the display of information (both vertically and horizontally). The overall image has become more convenient and easier to understand.
  • Players who use 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios will not notice any changes.

A new control system for full-screen interfaces (hereinafter referred to as FI) has been added:

  • FIs are displayed on a new layer
  • FIs are added the queue and displayed from it automatically (or manually by the player from the Notification Center)
  • We implemented functionality that allows opening dialog boxes and tooltips from FIs
  • We implemented functionality that allows viewing FIs from the Notification Center after changing the server

Fixed:

  • Several FIs that have different audio sequences and animations can be opened at the same time
  • Overlapping FI notifications and dialog boxes

Maps

Encounter Battle has been added for the following Random Battle maps: Karelia, Westfield, Studzianki, Pilsen
In Update 1.10.1, we’ve slightly reworked three maps to address some balance issues: Berlin, Ruinberg, Erlenberg, and Westfield.
Fixed issues on the following maps: Sand River, Serene Coast, Redshire, Dreamland, Arzagir 4.04

Revised the logic of vehicle destruction. Now these objects completely absorb only HE (including HESH) and HEAT shells, and other types of shells only lose their armor penetration.
Objects: cars, trucks, tractors, buses, helicopters, airplanes, etc.

Dog Tags

Dog Tags, a very special feature from last year’s Tank Festival, will be making their return.

  • Your Dog Tag is displayed to opponents whose vehicles you destroyed in battle. You will also see Dog Tags of players who destroy your vehicle.
  • The updated Dog Tags will consist of the following elements: Background and Engraving
  • The engraving is the most important part as it displays the main information that your defeated enemies will see. There will be 3 engraving categories (skill, dedication, and triumph) each of which is designed to show your supremacy over your rivals. Each category has its own conditions to unlock new engraving types.
  • Engravings have levels that can be increased from I to X: the level determines how the Engraving looks. To unlock new Engraving levels, the specified conditions should be met.

New version of the Wwise sound engine

Game features:

  • Significantly bigger potential for further improvements of sound in the game.
  • Memory consumption will decrease (to 15MB).
  • Performance will slightly decrease at minimum and low sound quality presets (up to 2.5%).

Daily Missions Rework

The mechanics of the Daily Missions has been reworked. The prizes for completing missions will become better and more valuable. The list of rewards has been extended; now it includes:

  • Personal Reserves
  • Standard Equipment
  • Crew Skins

The difficulty of some missions has also been increased to reflect the new, more valuable rewards. Missions of higher difficulty will require more time to be completed.
