New page

== Game Features ==

* Improved mission UI:
** Reset the entry point for missions and Personal Missions
** Reworked the "Awards" window by adding an award selector and a window with more information about Personal Missions
** Added a dropdown for groups of missions for a selected vehicle or type

* Added a two-row vehicle selector in the Garage (can be disabled under the "General" tab of the Settings window)
* Battle improvements:
** Cross-team battle chat disabled for all game modes except in Training Rooms
** Hover over the battle chat to freeze messages, scroll through messages and open the context menu with a right-click
** Hover or right-click to restrict messages (chat and voice chat) from particular players for the duration of battle in all modes except Training Rooms
** Messages received before blacklisting a player or restricting their messages in battle are hidden
** Players can complain about the same player only once per battle
** Inappropriate behavior in chat constitutes four complaint reasons: insults and provocation; spam; out-of-game threats; fraud
** Can disable/enable chat with allies in Settings menu (Random battles only)

* New player performance notifications on the battle interface:
** Damage panel with total damage caused, total damage blocked by armor, total damage caused with player's assistance
** More informative and extended battle performance badges: damage caused (amount); damage type (penetration, ignition, or ramming); type of assistance damage (destroying a track; spotting); number of detected vehicles or base capture/defense points
** More informative fire direction indicators: amount of received/blocked damage, enemy vehicle that fired the shot, marker and name of the vehicle (if spotted). Also, an option that informs players of the amount of received/blocked damage for a specific shot: the wider the fire marker background, the more damage a player's vehicle received/blocked
** New fire direction indicator: Critical hits are shown in brown, and if one module or Crew member is damaged/injured, the indicator displays a corresponding icon.
** "Battle Results" window provides quick access to battle performance summaries
** New functionality given its own tab in the Settings window

* Improved Notification Center functionality:
** Changed the design of the Notification Center with three groups: informational, social (invitations to Platoons or friend requests), and personal
** Fixed the issue of too-frequent button blinking
** Added more conspicuous notifications about important events

* Reduced the visibility system delay -- enemy vehicles appear sooner after leaving cover
* Reduced the visibility delay when spotting and in artillery aim view
* Displayed how the Camouflage Net changes values on Technical Characteristics
* Added option to visit the Premium Shop from the Garage
* Improved Clan-related functionality:
** When selecting legionnaires for Skirmishes, both Clan and non-Clan legionnaires can be added
** The first half of any Industrial Resources earned by legionnaires goes to the player with the highest Experience in the battle (Skirmish), and the other half is reset to zero
** The matchmaker does not create teams that include players belonging to the same Clan
** Restricted the ability to schedule attacks on a Clan with a Stronghold at a level that differs by more than one (i.e., a Clan that has a level 7 Stronghold can only attack Clans that have Strongholds at levels 6, 7, and 8)

* Added the ability to compare vehicles in the Garage:
** Separate window displaying rows of Technical Characteristics and columns representing the vehicles selected
** Can add at least one vehicle to vehicle comparisons (if only one vehicle is chosen, players see how selected modules and Crew members affect its technical characteristics)
** Vehicles for comparison can be added from various places, including unresearched vehicles and vehicles unavailable in the Tech Tree (e.g., Type 59). Vehicles received from events can't be compared

* Added ability to restore vehicles and Crew members from the game client (restoration will be available upon release of Update 9.16)

== Sound ==

* Extended the caliber range: Gunfire sounds now comes in five different calibers (instead of three) in tier VIII-X battles
* New sound for cartridge reloading. This can provide information about the number of shells in the cartridge, when the last shell in the cartridge remains, and a notification when the last shell is fired (i.e., no more ammo)
* Clearer, more distinctive sounds for when damage is received (0-17%, 18-35%, 35%+)
* Added sound of a damaged (not destroyed) engine -- knocking, clanking, etc.
* Added a notification sound when gun is destroyed and unable to fire
* Added individual sounds for damage to each module
* Improved vehicle driving feedback with sounds of switching gears, acceleration and other maneuvering
* Increased visibility of sound settings
* Added option to choose between two sounds for the "Sixth Sense" Perk, including selecting your own MP3 file
* New sounds that warn that the battle has ended due to last enemy destroyed or base captured
* Divided interface/notification sliders into interface and voice messages
* Divided music sliders into in-battle music and in-Garage music
* New "endless" and nonrecurrent music for the Premium Garage
* Reworked the "low quality" sound preset. Now available to all players and sounds better than before
