Update 1.3 Common Test Patchnotes

~ Sebastianul

Main Changes:

1. Changes to Personal Missions

  1. Changed mission conditions within Operation: Excalibur.
  2. Now, players will be able to track progress of both campaigns in-battle across all missions.
  3. Added clearer post-battle notifications when a mission of the 3rd Operation within the Second Front is failed.
  4. All missions of the Long-Awaited Backup campaign that stipulated that it must be done while in a Platoon, have now had this condition removed. The conditions of these missions have been adjusted accordingly, so they are feasible when playing solo.
  5. Improved display of all missions having complex conditions like “Complete X or Y”.
  6. Added indication informing that primary condition is to be completed, in order to fulfill the secondary one.
  7. Added the Description and Hints information window in the mission profile.

5. Improvements

  1. Fixed the issue when non-penetrations of HE shells (that had caused damage) were displayed as penetrations. Now it is clear when an HE shell penetrates the armor or just explodes on its surface. This change will affect missions that require penetrating enemy armor.
