When the release of patch 9.20. New game models in HD quality
Update 9.20.1 is getting closer to its official release and we are starting new series general tests. Participate in testing and evaluate changes that developers have been working on recently. Here is what will be available on the server common test:
- Rebalance of Tier X light tanks, as well as British and US vehicles.
- Reworked personal combat missions with a new interface and mechanics that allow you to complete them faster.
- Additional reward for high efficiency in battle - new ways to get bonds.
The changes can be found in detail in recent publications:
How to get into the general test?
Bonds and medals
Starting from 9.20.1, when winning medals in the Epic Achievements and Battle Hero categories, the player will receive additional rewards in the form of bonds. Please note: Bonds will not be credited for accumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and may change.
Grand Battle Improvements
The following changes have been made to the General Battle battle type:
- The message about victory or defeat in battle has changed.
Added the new kind battle win or loss messages to make it easier for players to understand when and why the battle ended. The message has separate animations for win, lose and draw. Additional text shows why the fight ended. When a battle ends with the base captured, the capture progress bar goes into a "locked" state shortly before the message appears to indicate that the total will not change.
This innovation is applied to all random and ranked battles, as well as to the general battle. - Updated tooltips for rewards, which describe various acquisition conditions. In a standard, oncoming battle, and assault, the conditions are the same, but in a general battle, the requirements are higher.
- Improved combat interface (HUD) in general battle.
The transparency of the background of the panels with the list of players has been reduced to make the information easier to read on a light background (sky, water, etc.).
Border symbols have been added to the top bar to improve readability.
Training Ground Improvements
Changes:
- Irrelevant options have been disabled in the context menus of the vehicle upgrade windows, the research tree, and the vehicle carousel.
- The rewards (credits and experience) for victories and defeats while passing the training ground have been balanced.
- The rewards for completing the training ground are now displayed in the notification center.
- Added a notification to players that they will not receive a reward when re-passing the training ground.
- The crew recruitment window has become more informative.
Corrections:
- Fixed a bug where some UI elements were displayed incorrectly in color blind mode.
- Fixed errors that occurred when saving and restoring settings (vehicle panel and sights) when the player entered the training ground and exited this mode.
- Fixed rendering of some game tips (unmasking when shooting, the need to return to the capture circle).
- Fixed a rare issue where the "Skip Tutorial" button was displayed incorrectly.
- The results of battles in the mode have been removed from the notification center.
- Fixed displaying of the EULA license window when restarting the game client.
- The description of the characteristics of vehicles in the loading screens of the training ground is now correct.

- Fixed bugs in the behavior of bots.
- Fixed bugs in displaying map borders.

Update 9.20.1 WOT is officially released on the RU cluster on October 17, or rather on the night of Monday to Tuesday (October 16-17). The time to replace the FV215b is getting shorter and shorter. Many people have different expectations for each game update.
Overview of update 9.20.1
What will change in World of Tanks in the October update?
1. Replacing the FV215b in update 1.5.0.4 of World of Tanks and transferring it to promotional vehicles!
2. New Personal Rating and Hall
3. Changing vehicle booking:
- AP of the T-34-3 tank in update 9.20.1
- Reservation change of Bat.-Chatillon 155 55, Bat.-Chatillon 155 58, Churchill I, M6 in 9.20.1
- Changed armor Valentine, Valentine II, KV-4 in 9.20.1
- Changing the booking of T-44-122, T-150, STB-1 in 9.20.1
4. Changes in LBZ in 9.20.1 WoT
In the new patch, we have reworked the LBZ. And these are not only changes in conditions, with adjustments for difficulty or changed conditions of the "random" - we have made a new, convenient interface and revised the mechanics of completing task chains.
A little about the interface: the entry point to personal combat missions will be changed, now it will be in the hangar header, a new tab "Campaign" will appear between "Tasks" and "Achievements" (the name is not final and may change).
- In the hangar, LBZs are moved to a separate button.
- The main LBZ menu has also been redesigned. Now the interface displays the required order of performing Operations and Combat Missions.
- New interface selecting an operation where you can see the progress of the operation. You can now track the progress of completing tasks on a specially created tactical map. This screenshot shows the completion of all 15 KBs with honors. 
// New mechanics for completing combat missions: there are no more award lists. Now, for completing the final KB from the branch, you will receive a tank module, and for completing it with honors, you will also receive an order form.
"Modules" are needed to receive an award tank - completed all five KB chains and received a tank. But the “Order Form” is already more interesting, because. it allows you to skip the execution of any combat mission. That's right - if you get stuck on some task, you can now skip it if you previously managed to complete any final BR with honors and get the main reward for it. Including the final combat mission, but to skip it you will need as many as 4 order forms. A little more difficult, but worth it. By the way, the task can then be overfulfilled and you can get the “Order Form” back, it is reusable. Also, “Order Forms” are accumulated and transferred to the next operation, i.e. over time, as you accumulate, you will be able to skip the execution of not one chain of knowledge bases, but several. If enough "Order Forms",. 
The progress of the LBZ, of course, is being carried out and after the release of the update, you will receive "Order Forms" for all completed final BZs with honors - provided that you did not miss the final Combat missions. And a reward for fulfilling the main conditions of the missed final Battle missions. For example, if you have completed Operation StugIV and Operation T-28 HTC by skipping chains of self-propelled guns, we will give you a reward for the main conditions. But these are two additional tankers, by the way.
The conditions of combat missions have been revised: the video will be added later.
- Other changes: But that's not all. We have added a lot of new things: new rewards, revised the mechanics of recruiting tank girls (now you do not need to receive them to start the next operations), and so on.
Update 9.20.1 will be released on October 17 at 10:00 a.m. (UTC) and will contain a number of changes to UK, US and Chinese vehicles. In addition, we have seriously improved the balancing mechanism: now the technique assembled teams will be additionally redistributed based on its roles. Personal combat missions have also been significantly redesigned - from the interface to rewards and completion mechanics, aimed at improving the overall experience. Bonuses will now be issued for rewards in the Epic Achievements and Battle Heroes categories. Find all the details about the changes below.
Servers unavailable
World of Tanks servers will be unavailable on October 17 from 03:00 to 10:00 (Moscow time) due to the release of the update. We kindly ask you to refrain from making payments during the specified period of time.
The clan portal will also be unavailable during the release of the update.
Premium account and compensation
Players who have a premium account or other temporary services active (for example, camouflage) at the time of the start of maintenance will be compensated for a day of a premium account and/or a day of using the services starting from October 17 from 00:00 (UTC) according to these rules. If you want to make purchases in the game, wait for the servers to start.
Vehicle rebalance
We will change british tank destroyers FV4005 Stage II branches to make them more comfortable to play. Medium tanks from Tier VIII to X will have increased turret armor, which will emphasize their role as medium-range fire support vehicles. We have also changed the UK heavy tank branch from tier VIII to ensure consistent game process, similar to the style of play on Conqueror. The vacant FV215b spot at Tier X will be taken by the new Super Conqueror heavy tank, while the FV215b will become a promotional vehicle.
In the update, Tier X light tanks will receive an increase in firepower, and US LTs will be "shuffled" to provide a unique gameplay experience. Finally, we will significantly change the Chinese premium tanks, which have been outdated for years, in order to update them.
We have once again revised the combat parameters of the Super Conqueror, Conqueror, FV4005 Stage II, FV4004 Conway and FV4202 (P) vehicles, taking into account your feedback during the general test. Detailed information about this is in the article about changes in technology.
Personal combat missions
After analyzing your feedback, we have made significant adjustments to personal combat missions. Along with changing the conditions to match the realities of the game, Update 9.20.1 replaces reward lists with order forms and components that will make the first campaign more flexible. We've also improved navigation by redesigning the personal mission interface. We hope you appreciate it.
Bonds and medals
If you haven't reached Tier X yet, prefer to play lower tier vehicles and do it well, Update 9.20.1 will give you extra motivation to showcase your talents in every battle. You will receive bonds for rewards in the Epic Achievements and Battle Heroes categories. This new rule will only apply to rewards received after the release of Update 9.20.1.
Balancer Improvements
Now heavy and medium tanks will not be distributed randomly between teams. The balancer will begin to break tank destroyers, medium and heavy tanks into smaller subgroups (according to their role in the battle) and try to create teams so that in each part of the list (top-middle-bottom) cars with the same playing roles were distributed evenly. We also satisfied some of your requests: we improved the logic of collecting teams, increased the chance of getting into pitched battle etc.
With a huge delay, we publish the exact release dates next update in World of Tanks - 0.9.20.1 and indicative changes. The penultimate update of the year of the Fire Rooster.
Update 9.20.1 WOT is officially released on the RU cluster 17 October, or rather on the night from Monday to Tuesday (October 16-17)
👹 Time to replace FV215b is getting shorter and shorter.

In developing. Vehicle rebalance in 9.20.1
List of changes in version 0.9.20.1 ST1 compared to 0.9.20.
Innovations:
— Large-scale update of the first campaign of Personal Missions "Long-awaited Reinforcements"
essence of change.
* Completely redesigned visual and audio components of personal combat missions.
* Completely new and unique rewards have been added.
* The conditions of tasks have been revised so that the main reward for the operation is always relevant for the player.
* Added "Order Forms", which will greatly facilitate the implementation of personal combat missions.
* You can find out about changes in personal combat missions in a special video available right in the game.
Interface and sound
— All interfaces of personal combat missions have been redesigned:
1. The entry point to personal combat missions has been changed: now it is located on the top panel of the Hangar under the "To battle!" and is called "Campaigns";
2. Added screen "General Staff" with a map of all operations;
3. The operations screen has been completely redesigned: now it is geographic map with tasks in the form of areas on it;
4. The campaign rewards screen has been completely redesigned:
a) Now the main reward - the car - is located in the center of the screen;
b) Added operation statistics: now you know how many credits you can still earn.
- Added new musical accompaniment:
1. A music track was recorded specifically for personal combat missions;
2. Added interactive music: the more tasks are completed within the same branch, the more intense the music.
A new way to get reward cars.
"Award lists" have been removed, instead, the "Components" of the machine have been introduced:
1. To get a reward vehicle for an operation, you need to collect all 5 components: hull, chassis, gun, power plant and radio station;
2. Each component has its own branch of tasks in the operation:
a) Power plant - task branch for light tanks;
b) Chassis - task branch for medium tanks;
c) Hull (+ turret or wheelhouse) - task branch for heavy tanks;
d) Weapon - task branch for tank destroyers;
e) Radio station - task branch for ACS.
3. To get the component, you need to complete the final fifteenth task in the corresponding branch.
Order forms.
Added a new entity "Order Forms":
1. To earn an order form, you must complete any final task of any branch with honors;
2. Order forms can be included (that is, used) in any tasks. In this way:
a) The selected task will automatically be considered completed without distinction;
b) You will receive a reward for the main conditions of the task;
c) The spent order form will remain embedded in the task;
d) The pledged order form does not disappear, but is temporarily frozen until you take it back.
3. To pick up the pledged order form, you must complete the task in which it is embedded with honors. This way you get your order form back and can reuse it.
4. The number of order forms required for inclusion in tasks:
a) For any task from 1 to 14 - 1 order form;
b) In task 15 - 4 order forms.
To sum up: order forms can be used to skip tasks that are difficult or uninteresting for you. And most importantly: you can add order forms to the final, fifteenth task in the branch, even if you haven't completed the previous 14 tasks yet. Thus, you can instantly get the 5th missing machine component by completing 4 branches of tasks with honors.
New awards.
1. Added a new reward - patches:
a) In each operation, you can earn 2 patches:
* Patch of the II degree is issued simultaneously with the receipt of the award car;
* I degree badge is issued for completing all 75 tasks of a specific operation with distinction.
b) For completing all tasks in all operations, you will receive a special unique patch "Champion of the 1st Campaign"
2. A new reward has been added - camouflage schemes:
a) In each operation, you can earn a set of 3 (summer, winter, desert) unique camouflage schemes:
* A set of 3 camouflage schemes for a reward vehicle is issued for completing all 75 tasks of the operation;
* The same set of schemes is unlocked for use on all vehicles of the same nation as the award vehicle for completing all 75 objectives of the operation with distinction.
Changing task conditions
The objectives in each operation have been revised to increase the relevance of the main reward. For example, now it is possible to complete all tasks from Operation StuG IV on Tier V vehicles, from Operation T28 Heavy Tank Concept - on VII level and so on. At the same time, participation restrictions have not changed. You can perform the tasks of any operation, even at Tier X.
We also made the additional conditions in the final fifteenth tasks of each branch more diverse. This is due to the fact that the additional reward for the tasks that complete the branches has become more valuable: Order Forms are now located there.
Note! If, according to the condition of the task, you need, for example, to detect 5 vehicles in a battle, and you have discovered 7 - obviously, the task will be successfully counted. This rule is true for all numerical conditions.
Bonds and medals
Starting from 9.20.1, upon receiving a medal from the categories "Epic Achievements" and "Battle Heroes", the player will receive additional rewards in the form of bonds. Bonuses will not be awarded for cumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and is subject to change. Read more.
