Common Test 9.20 Bugs & Issues

Saffr0n: Common Test for 9.20 is now live so hop on over to the CT server to try out what the developers have been working on.  CT 9.20 Patch Notes   New Random Battle type: Grand Battle. Rules: Two teams, 30 players each Only Tier X vehicles are available Battle duration is 15 minutes Victory conditions: Capture the enemy base Destroy all enemy vehicles Matchmaker The Grand Battles are created from the common queue of the Random Battle mode. Only Tier X vehicles can participate in the Grand Battles. Players enter the Grand Battles randomly, by analogy with other battle types: Assault and Encounter Battle. By default, the Grand Battles are enabled for all players. The Grand Battles can be enabled/disabled in the game settings: Settings > General > Random Battle Types > Grand Battle. Each team is conventionally divided into three sub-groups, 10 players each. Players cannot change sub-groups; belonging to a sub-group is determined by the matchmaker. Team composition in the Grand Battles is regulated by the general rules of Matchmaker 2.0. The matchmaker assembles corresponding sub-groups of vehicles by types. The number of SPGs in the Grand Battles is limited to four vehicles. The difference in the number of Platoon players (according to the rules of the matchmaker) should not exceed 2. If at least one of the Platoon members has the Grand Battle option enabled, the entire Platoon is considered participating in this type of battles. Map In the current update, the Grand Battles will be played only on one map (Nebelberg) The map size is 1.4x1.4 km Players' spawning point depends on their sub-groups Each team is divided into three sub-groups Each sub-group has its own spawn point Each team has its own base Interface The loading screen, the statistics screen (displayed upon pressing TAB), the battle results window and the team panels are designed to display all 60 players. Both teams are divided into sub-groups Composition of each sub-group can be viewed in details by clicking on the corresponding group Changed the upper progress bar of the user interface. In addition to the total number of destroyed enemy vehicles, the progress bar also displays the percentage of the total durability (HP) of each team.   Awards, Achievements, Statistics Players in the Grand Battles and in Random Battles (level 12 battles only) can receive bonds as the reward. Only players who earn over 400 base experience in the battle will receive bonds. The amount of the received Bonds directly depends on the amount of the earned experience Players can complete Personal Missions in the Grand Battles, as well as earn any awards that are available in the Random Battles In Grand Battles, players will earn Mastery Badges and Marks of Excellence, they way they do in the Random Battles. The Grand Battles are not counted in the Summary of the player's Service Record and do not affect the statistics of the Random Battles The statistics on the Grand Battles will be displayed in Service Record > Statistics > Battle type: Grand Battle Statistics on particular vehicles in the Grand Battles will be displayed in Service Record > Vehicles > Battle type: Grand Battle   Improvements to the Ranked Battles Client-related improvements: Added the functionality of earning the Marks of Excellence and Mastery Badges in the Ranked battles. Added the visual influence of the Directives upon the technical characteristics of vehicles in the infotips and simplified technical characteristics. Added the functionality of equipping Directives in the vehicle comparison interface so that their influence can be considered. Added the option that enables auto-resupply of Directives in the purchase interface. Improved equipment can be dismounted for bonds only. Added the functionality that displays the vehicle ranks in the vehicle panel when the Ranked Battles mode is selected. Improved the interface of displaying the reward received for the previous stage. 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 the selected day is now displayed in the calendar window (not in the pop-up hint, as it was before). Changed the list of maps that are available in the mode. Now battles will be played on the following maps: Mines Prokhorovka Abbey El Halluf Airfield Malinovka Himmelsdorf Murovanka Paris Karelia Lakeville Siegfried Line Sand River Erlenberg Arctic Region Tundra Ensk Swamp Westfield Fisherman's Bay Highway Serene Coast Windstorm Fjords Pilsen Improvements to the matchmaker: The number of SPGs will be limited to 2 vehicles 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 available servers; 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 the Ranked Battles. Implemented a separate option that allows configuring the loading screen in the Ranked Battles mode and suggests three variants of the loading screen (by analogy with the options for the Random Battles): Text only Illustrated tips Minimap Improvements to the display of the Season Leaders: Added the event archive—statistics of players for previous seasons can be viewed. Added the filters: clan-mates and friends. Players will be able to view the positions of their clan-mates and friends on the Leaderboard.   Hall of Fame The new version of Hall of Fame is now available in the game client. The new version of Hall of Fame has been added to the Service Record tab. Players will be able to view their achievements in the Random Battles not only for the account in general, but also for each particular vehicle; they can also view the best tankmen. Players will be able to compare their achievements with those of friends, clan mates, and other players in several time periods. Moreover, players will be able to monitore their battle performance using the new World of Tanks rating (WTR) that displays the player's performance on particular vehicles as compared to all players on the server. The Hall of Fame and new WTR are at the stage of open beta-testing. These development of these functionalities is still in progress, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.   Improvements to the stun mechanics Added the total time of caused stun to the Battle Results 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 and the vehicle is fully covered. At the same time, explosion wave can somewhat go around corners of obstacles on condition the distance between the point of hit and the obstacle edge is less than 2 meters. However, in this case, the damage from the explosion will be decreased.   Made terrain-related changes for difficult-to-access areas on the following maps: Karelia Steppes Lakeville Abbey Mines Sacred Valley Mountain Pass El Halluf Arctic Region   Reworked the following vehicles to HD-quality Vehicles: SU-5 SU-14-1 Bat.-Châtillon 25 t M12 M5A1 Stuart Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f) Pz.Kpfw.
