Official patchout of the patch 9.20.1 WoT (EU)

Summary: orders can be used to pass complicated missions or missions that the player considers to be uninteresting. Important: players can commit Orders to the final mission of a set, even if the previous 14 missions are not completed. Having completed the four sets of missions with honors, players can immediately receive the last (fifth) vehicle component. 

New Rewards 

1. Added new rewards: badges 
a) Two badges can be completed in each operation: 
* The rank II badge is received together with the reward vehicle. 
* The rank I badge is earned for completion of all 75 missions in a particular operation with honors. 
b) After completing all missions in all operations, the player will receive the special unique badge: Campaign I Champion 
2. Added new rewards: Camouflage patterns: 
a) A set of three unique Camouflage patterns (summer, winter, and desert) can be earned for completion of each operation: 
* A set of three Camouflage patterns for the reward vehicle is earned for completion of all 75 missions 
* The same set of Camouflage patterns becomes available for any vehicle of the nation the reward vehicle belongs to, once all 75 missions are completed with honors 

Changes to the Mission Conditions 

Missions in each operation were revised to correspond to the main reward. For example, now all missions of the StuG IV operation can be completed in Tier V vehicles; missions of the T28 Heavy Tank Concept operation can be completed in VII vehicles, etc. At the same time, participation restrictions remained unchanged. Players can complete missions of any operation even in Tier X vehicles. 

Secondary conditions of final (15th) missions in each set were made more diverse. This is because of the fact that the additional reward of the final missions became more valuable: it now provides Orders. 

Important! If the mission condition requires spotting 5 enemy vehicles (for example), and the player spots 7 vehicles, it is obvious that the mission is considered completed. This rule is true for all numeric conditions. 

- Bonds and Awards.

Starting with Update 9.20.1, the Epic Medals and Battle Heroes achievements will be additionally rewarded with Bonds. Exceptions are accumulative medals. The number of Bonds is not final and might change.
