Update 9.20 Bugs, Issues and Feedback

Saffr0n:   Random Battles mode did not receive additional matchmaker conditions regarding SPGs, it was updated for Ranked Battles mode.      Ranked Battles Added the ability to earn Marks of Excellence and Mastery Badges in the Ranked Battle mode. Added the display of ranks of individual vehicles in the vehicle panel when the Ranked Battle mode is selected. Improved the interface where the received reward for a previous stage is displayed. The information about the received reward is also displayed in the pop-up hint when hovering over the rank. Reworked the calendar interface in the mode. Information about the Prime Times on each server for a selected day is now displayed in the calendar window (previously it was displayed in a pop-up hint). Changed the list of maps that are available in the mode. Now, battles will be fought in the following maps: Abbey Airfield Arctic Region El Halluf Ensk Erlenberg Fisherman's Bay Fjords Highway Himmelsdorf Karelia Lakeville Malinovka Mines Murovanka Paris Pilsen Prokhorovka Sand River Serene Coast Siegfried Line Swamp Tundra Westfield Windstorm Improvements to the matchmaker: Maximum two SPGs per team. Improved the matchmaking by vehicle types (the matchmaker will try to assemble similar teams). Improved the system of assembling teams by ranks. Reworked the interface when entering the mode: added information about servers that are available for playing; reworked the display of information about the Prime Times. Added special hints that explain the basic mechanics and main features of the mode to the loading screen in Ranked Battles. Implemented a separate option that allows configuring the loading screen in the Ranked Battle mode and suggest three variants of the loading screen (by analogy with the options for the Random Battles): Illustrated tips Minimap Text only Display of Season leaders in the Ranked Battle mode Added the event archive—statistics of players in previous seasons can be viewed. Added the filters clanmates and friends. Players can view the positions their clan-mates and friends take among the Season Leaders. Improved Equipment Improved Equipment can now be demounted only with bonds. The Extended Spare Parts Kit is now a complex Equipment and can be demounted with bonds. When update 9.20 is released, all Improved Equipment will be automatically demounted for free, so players can re-mount the pieces of Equipment to their liking. Crew Stun Mechanic Added the time of caused stun to the Battle Results screen. Improved the mechanics of causing damage and stun through obstacles. Now SPGs will not cause damage through obstacles that are 2 or more meters thick if the vehicle is fully covered by them. At the same time, explosion wave can somewhat bend the corners of obstacles. For that to happen, the distance between the point of hit and the obstacle's edge should be less than 2 meters; however, in such a case the explosion will cause decreased damage. Directives Added a visual indication of the way that directives influence the technical characteristics to infotips and simplified technical characteristics. Added the function of equipping directives in the vehicle comparison interface so that their influence is taken into account. Added the option that enables auto-resupply of directives in the purchase interface. The bonus from Directives that influence the skills and perks of crew members is now displayed in Personal File. Fixes Fixed the issue where the camera was bound to the spot where the vehicle was destroyed instead of being bound to the actual destroyed vehicle. Fixed the issue with full-screen settings not saving in some cases. Fixed the issue with the display of vehicle ranks. Fixed the issue with the Maus' underbelly armor protection. Armor decreased from 250 mm to 50 mm. Fixed the issue with the displayed maximum number of shells in the Consumables window for the 75 mm SA49 gun. Fixed the issue where vehicles not suitable for personal missions were still shown as available. Fixed the issue where a permanent rank could be displayed as non-permanent. Improvements Improved the layout of notes in the Contact list. Added information about the acquired vehicle rank when viewing players' Service Records. Added a filter by range for the Team Battle mode. Known Issues (will be fixed later) When a vehicle is destroyed by overturning after 30 seconds has passed since it was overturned, the player who overturned the vehicle does not receive credit for the vehicle's destruction. Concealment of a vehicle with unique Camouflage is displayed without the bonus for Camouflage in the Garage; however, in reality, the effect of Camouflage is active. The recruiter's Recruiting Office does not display the recruits and reservists that they invited, if the recruiter's account is restored to a state, preceding the moment when recruits accepted the invitation. The camera can suddenly change its position in trajectory view when the player quickly moves the cursor around the vehicle. The order of events for received damage is sometimes mixed up in the damage log. Technical text may display for vehicles destroyed by overturning in the Battle Results screen. The badge about base capture can be displayed prematurely, even before the indicated number of points has been accumulated.
