World of Tanks news » Improvements to Personal Missions & Reward Tanks

At the end of 2018, in Update 1.3, we slightly adjusted the missions of the first operation of the Second Front campaign. We simplified the conditions of more than 30 tasks that, according to your feedback and our stats, seemed rather complicated.

Over the past few months, we’ve been carefully analyzing your progress on updated Personal Missions by reviewing your questions and suggestions. And now we're ready to take the next step and make some new adjustments.

Meeting Your Wishes  

Simplifying the tasks of Operation: Excalibur provided us with a lot of valuable data. Your feedback and our play statistics solidified our decision to simplify task conditions in order to achieve the following:

  • Pave the way for more players to reach the second operation and its incredible reward tank, the Chimera
  • Return your focus to Personal Missions

The information gathered got us thinking we also should meet your wishes regarding Operation: Chimera. In all fairness, some tasks really seem to be a bit complicated and keept you busy. Therefore, we decided to simplify and slightly adjust approximately 30 missions with which you were struggling.

Simplified...Yet Still Challenging!

In Update 1.4, Second Front missions will become more balanced, achievable, and generally simpler. They will still require a certain skill level to complete, however. Just check their conditions out and see for yourself in the following table.

And now the icing on the cake!

Along with some simplified missions, Update 1.4 will also improve two reward tanks — the British Chimera Tier VIII medium and the Soviet Object 279 early Tier X heavy. Thanks to slight changes in their characteristics, both vehicles will be more competitive in battles, even against rivals of higher Tiers. Let’s dig into the details.  

Chimera

Most importantly, we’ve increased the vehicle’s standard shell penetration to 218 mm. Also, we’ve improved its accuracy, aiming time, and gun stabilization to make the Chimera a more sharpshooting tank. All these tweaks will provide more comfortable and accurate firing.   

Plus, we’ve improved its shell velocity, which makes the Chimera more suitable for effective long-distance sniping. Finally, the tank’s view range was also improved to make it more convenient to play.

Object 279 early

According to player feedback, we found this Soviet heavy didn’t meet your expectations, and the reward wasn't worth the effort. So, with the Update 1.4 the Object 279 early will get improved aiming time and higher accuracy. In addition, its dispersion during turret rotation will be reduced. Finally, we’ve improved the lower plate, which significantly decreases chances to penetrate it.

VIII CHIMERA

Dispersion
0.36 m (▼ 0.02 m)
Aiming time
2.5 s (▼ 0.2 s)
Dispersion on turret traverse / during movement
0.2 m (▼ 0.04 m)
Velocity of standard shell
950 m/s (▲ 218 m/s)
Velocity of Premium shell
1,100 m/s (▲ 186 m/s)
Penetration of standard shell
218 mm (▲ 16 mm)
View range
380 m (▲ 20 m)
Improved gun characteristics will emphasize the vehicle’s main feature, which is high damage per shot. Overall improvement to firing performance, as well as increased View Range will allow this tank to perform the role of a maneuverable and rapid support vehicle suitable for mid-range encounters.

X Object 279 early

Dispersion
0.36 m (▼ 0.02 m)
Aiming time
2.3 s (▼ 0.02 s)
Dispersion on turret traverse
0.06 m (▼ 0.02 m)
Improved the lower plate
Specific changes to the technical characteristics of the Object 279 early will improve the vehicle’s combat performance and strengthen the lower armor plate that was quite vulnerable in some combat situations.

Why Are We Improving These Characteristics?

According to your suggestions and our stats, both vehicles clearly lacked more accurate and effective guns. Now, with these tweaks, the Chimera and the Object 279 early have a better chance to inflict more serious damage. Besides, the additional armor strengthening for the Object 279 early will make it even more redoubtable adversary on the battlefield.

We’ll continue to closely monitor your progress on updated Personal Missions, as well as improved tanks performance. We welcome your feedback, feel free to leave your thoughts and impressions.
