WoT RU CT 1.20: Interesting Stun Mechanic Changes

Note that it’s only being tested on the RU Common Test. (previously a few days ago WG tested the Experimental Equipment nerfs on the RU server as well so who knows; maybe WoT RU became the testing bed of these changes)

Overhaul of the stun mechanic

• Removed the ability to damage yourself in any way (except in modes where the rules allow you to damage an ally).
• It has become impossible to stun an ally or self in any of the currently existing modes.
• The stun does not extend if it hits an enemy that is already stunned.
• The duration of the stun and the effect of the stun on the crew are now fixed values ​​and no longer depend on the amount of damage dealt. However, they may still vary depending on the equipment that was installed on the target machine.

• The Additional Noise Insulation equipment has an additional parameter that reduces the effect of the stun on the crew (-10%/-15% depending on whether the equipment was installed in a specialized slot).
• Removed the parameter that affects the duration of the additional stun (because the tank cannot be re-stunned during the previous stun). It will no longer be displayed in interfaces.
• Increased the reward for the vehicle that caused the stun by ~7% when allies deal damage to the stunned enemy.
• Removed the minimum stun duration limit. Previously, the stun time could not be less than 5 seconds (if it was less in time, it did not overlap).
• The wording “Stun” in statistics, including post-battle, has been replaced with “Disorientation”. However, if the enemy received a stun from Artillery, mines, bombers, he still sees the inscription “crew stun”.
• Campaign task conditions have been revised: all tasks related to stuns can now only be completed on self-propelled guns, which is explicitly indicated in the task conditions.
• Simplified task conditions related to the total stun time (it is reduced by ~20%) and the number of stuns per battle if it was necessary to stun 5 or more vehicles. This is due to a decrease in the potential stun time for SPGs, the inability to apply a second stun, as well as the reworking of consumables for subsequent updates.

Decreased maximum stun time for self-propelled guns

All indicated values ​​are relevant only within the framework of the Supertest.
