Obj. 279 (e) Guide, After patch 1.14

Edit 1: The title should be: Obj. 279(e) Mission Guide, After patch 1.14

Hello, I want to share my experience about how I completed 279 (e) (the latest one was 2 years ago before 1.14) mission with you guys who are struggling right now doing the mission, I will try to explain as clear as possible, remember this is just my opinion. I am playing on HK and ANZ server (APAC), my recent WN8 is 2.3k, the whole mission was done in approximately 6 months (from end of the thunderstorms clan war until end of November). Before you begin the 279 (e) mission, you need to do:

EXCALIBUR, Excalibur missions can be done with tier 6 tanks and above

Bloc 15, Union 15, Alliance 15 and Coalition 15 with honors (Mandatory, as this will make your progress easier later, if you had done the 4 missions with honors, you now have 4 orders)

CHIMERA, Chimera missions can be done with tier 7 tanks and above, I will highlight some of the hardest mission on Chimera's campaign

Union

• Union 8, damage or destroy internal modules / crew, totaling 5 modules or crew

I can't really remember how I did this mission, my suggestion is Obj. 261 with second HE, LT-432, LTTB, IS-3A, use a fast firing tanks, take deadeye perk, always aim enemy cupola or weakspots and paper tanks (Most American tanks fuel are vulnerable from the sides, here is the location, most German tanks engine is in the front lower plate like Lowe, E100, WT auf, Skorpion, some USSR tanks can get on fire pretty easy like LT-432 and Obj. 140)

• Union 15, cause, receive, and block a total of 10.000HP of damage — cause 20% of the total amount of damage caused by your team, win the battle

My suggestion for this mission is using HT, KV-4 (one of the best tank for blocking missions), IS-4, Obj. 277, WZ 111 5A, Obj. 257, brawl smart, don't get too close to enemy that are firing premium shells, do not go alone, always use your teammate to go in first xD, play on server with the lowest IQ playerbase

Bloc

• Bloc 2, damage or destroy enemy internal modules or crew members, totaling at least 5 modules or crew members, cause 2k damage

this is the same with union 8 above, the difference is you have a decent TD, like Skorp, WT Auf, Grille, Jageroo

• Bloc 8, set an enemy vehicle of the same tier or higher on fire

This one is pure RNG, aim for American tanks, LT-432, Obj. 140

• Bloc 15, cause a total of 3.5k hp damage to enemy tank destroyer or heavy tank — cause damage 6 different enemy, win the game

Super easy, pick any tier X tank you like, HT with great mobility or Meds, I picked E50 for this

Alliance

• Alliance 15, cause 6.5k damage — destroy 5 enemy , win the game

pick S. Conq / T57 Heavy / E5 / Patton, I do not recommend to pick FV4005, the tank is not consistent and you need luck, check your stats and look for tier X tank with the highest average damage, I did this without honor because I was struggling to get the kills

Coalition

• Coalition 15, Damage cause including your assistance must total 8k hp — enable your allies to destroy 3 enemy vehicles by spotting or destroying their tracks, win the battle

Done this with EBR 105, any french LT will work, EBR 105, ELC, AMX, if you have premium account, block Minsk and Berlin, you can actually spot on Paris, (stay and pray in the bush on mid and hope for the best) play safe because you can carry late game easier

Congrats, now you have 8 Orders (or 7 if you play like me haha), these order is used for skipping mission that are very difficult to do later

Now, the main course, before I begin, I will rate the difficulty for each factions (at this point I got 7 Orders to skip missions)

OBJECT 279 (e), 279e missions can be done with tier 8 and above

1. Union: Medium
2. Block: Hard
3. Alliance: Easy
4. Coalition: Medium

I am not yet finished with Bloc faction, therefore I will not explain it, sorry about this, I will try to update this if I finished the bloc faction

Union

• Union 1, enable your allies to cause an average of 2k damage to enemy per battle by spotting or tracking them ^{Complete this mission in 5 battles}

I did this mission with T-100-LT, I recommend this tank because it is easier to get more assist number in tier X, LT-432 is also a great option, block Berlin and Minsk, always reset the mission until you get a decent assist (6k or 5k above) damage at the first game and you are good to go

• Union 2, cause damage 2 times more than the hit points of your vehicle ^{Complete this mission 3 times in a row}

You got 261 bruddah ? time to shine, super easy if you have Obj. 261 or USSR Arty, this one is doable with any tanks, as long as you can perform, brawl smart, use your teammate as your meat shield, stay alive until the end of the game. Maps to block if you use spg: BERLIN and MINSK

• Union 3, destroy 15 tanks ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

Did this in my LT-432, pick a fast firing tanks with great mobility, LT-432, LTTB, Obj. 140, IS-3A, I don't really recommend IS-3A because of its mobility, play super safe, punish enemy with low HP, if you are using tanks with bad mobility, use hardening as it can help you survive longer when kill stealing

• Union 4, block an average 8 enemy hits ^{Complete this mission in 5 battles}

KV4, Obj. 257 is king here, I don't recommend tier X tanks because everyone is spamming gold on tier X, did this in my beloved KV-4, if you are facing lower tier, you can go in the open and keep your distance and always angle your tank, everything will bounce, trust me, again reset the mission until you get decent block (14 hits and above) on the first try

• Union 5, top 3 damage in battle ^{Complete this mission in 3 battles in a row}

In the battle means including your enemy team, this one is a git gud mission, pick any tanks that you like the most, I did this with WZ 111 5A, HT and MT is probably the best for this missions

• Union 6, top player on your team by number of vehicles destroyed, or earn more experience than ally who destroyed the same number ^{Complete this mission 3 times out of 7 battles}

Nothing to say here just look at Union 3, always reset the mission until you got it at the first game

• Union 7, destroy internal modules or crew at least 3 ^{Complete this mission 3 times in a row}

I got lucky with this mission, I did it with Obj. 261, suitable tanks are fast firing tanks, auto loader, aim the weakspot and don't forget about the deadeye perk, I wish you the best for this mission, as this mission will completely break your mind

• Union 8, earn fire for effect award ^{Complete this mission 7 times out of 10 battles}

fire for effect means you need to deal damage more than your HP, another easy mission, did this in my 140, just use low hp tanks, 140, lt432, t62a, I recommend medium tanks and LT because TD and SPG are less consistent in doing damage, HT is a bit hard for me haha

• Union 9, destroy 3 enemy vehicles ^{Complete this mission 2 times in a row}

this is the same with Union 3 😀

• Union 10, block 15k damage ^{complete this mission in 10 battles}

Did this in my 257, same concept with union 4, always reset until you got a decent block on the first game (5k above)

• Union 11, cause an average of 8 armor pen hits ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

Did this in my LT-432, any tanks will do, my recommendation is again, fast firing tanks and don't forget to use premium ammo, always reset the mission until you get decent amount of pen (12 pen above) on the first game

• Union 12, enable your allies to destroy 7 enemies by spotting them or tracking them ^{Complete this mission in 10 games}

T-100-LT and LT-432 is your best friend, reset until you get a decent result (3 kill assist or above) on the first game

• Union 13, earn top gun award ^{Complete this mission 2 times out of 12 games}

This one is on par with union 7, you need to kill 6 enemies, very hard to get, I ended up skipping it

• Union 14, stun enemy 80 times ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

Use 261, the best arty on USSR line, very fast reload time compared to other USSR arty

• Union 15, get mastery badge class 1 or higher ^{Complete this mission 3 times out of 20 battles}

choose any tank that you are comfortable with, see your stats, I did this using T-44, reset until you get it on the first game

If you are doing the mission the exact same way with how I did, you now have 6 Orders

Bloc

I did not do any Bloc mission, it was way too hard, so I ended up using 3 Orders to immediately skip Bloc 15, Orders left = 3

Alliance

• Alliance 1, get fire for effect award ^{complete this mission 5 times out of 10 battles}

ez pz mission, do damage more than your tank HP, sadly I cant remember which tank do I use, S. Conq, Patton, Centurion, Patriot, SPGs is also good for this, just don't use hardening on your tank

• Alliance 2, be the top 3 players on your team by damage caused ^{Complete this mission in 3 battles in a row}

Did this in my S. Conqueror, pick high DPM tanks like S.Conq, T57, E5, Patton, Tortoise, Badger

• Alliance 3, enable allies to destroy an average 2 tanks by spotting or tracking ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

Any british LT can do this mission, I did mine with Manticore. LHMTV, GSOR is also possible, reset until you get a decent number of kill assist on the first battle (5 or 6 kill assist)

• Alliance 4, cause 30k hp damage ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

pick high dpm tier X tanks, S.Conq, E5, T57, Patton, Tortoise, Badger, I did this with S.Conq, reset until you get decent damage on the first game (6k above)

• Alliance 5, stun 40 different enemy tank ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

FV3805 with stock gun, use food, rammer, vents, very easy mission, reset until you got decent result (8 tanks stunned)

• Alliance 6, earn confederate medal ^{Complete this mission 2 times out of 7 battles}

confederate means you need to do damage or criticals, to as many enemy tanks as possible (at least 6 tanks), do not kill them if you can. Use FV3805 with stock gun 🙂

• Alliance 7, average damage block 2k ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

This means you need to block 20.000 damage in 10 battles, or 2.000 blocked damage per game, did mine using E3. Badger and Tortoise is also a perfect tanks for this mission, remember to keep your distance, E3 is impenetrable when the lower plate is hidden, Badger is impenetrable when hull down (it is easy to pen badger when it is not in hull down position, especially with 330 HEAT pen)

• Alliance 8, damage internal modules or crew members, totaling 25 internal modules ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

Everyone's nemesis, I skipped this, same with Union, fast firing tanks with deadeye perk are the best choice for this (S.Conq), I tried Charioteer, FV 4005, T49, didn't work, even if your HESH pens the enemies

• Alliance 9, stun enemies 1.300 secs in total ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

not much I can say about this, FV3805 with stock gun, reset until you get a decent result on the first game (200 sec above)

• Alliance 10, cause 2 times more damage than the hp of your tank ^{Complete this mission 4 times out of 7 battles}

FV3805 stock gun :D, any tanks is possible, reset until you get it on the first game

• Alliance 11, enable your allies to cause 1k damage to enemy stunned by you ^{Complete this mission 4 times out of 10 battles}

FV3805 stock gun, reset until you get it on the first game

• Alliance 12, be the top player in battle by damage blocked ^{Complete this mission 3 times out of 7 battles}

Did this with E3. Badger and tortoise is good too. Reset until you get it on the first game

• Alliance 13, be among top 3 players in battle by experience earned ^{Complete this in 3 battles in a row}

You just need to perform, pick your best tank, mine was S.Conq

• Alliance 14, cause damage to 30 different enemy tanks ^{Complete this mission in 7 Battles}

FV3805 stock gun, reset until you get a decent result on the first game (8 tanks)

• Alliance 15, get mastery badge class 1 or higher ^{Complete this mission 3 times out of 20 battles}

choose any tank that you are comfortable with, see your stats, I did this using Patriot, reset until you get it on the first game

You now have 2 Orders left

Coalition

Coalition tanks are famous for their hard to play tanks, but get very rewarding if you understands how to use it, as the majority of them are autoloader and doesn't have any armor, play smart and safe, punish enemy if they are out of position, use your HP to kills wisely

​

• Coalition 1, earn the fighter or top gun award ^{complete this mission in 3 out of 10 battles}

same concept with union 3, but you need to kill minimum 4 enemies, EBR FL, BatChat series, Bourrasque, Skoda T56, VZ 55, TVP can steal some kills, but I found out this mission is very annoying so I ended up skipping it 😛

• Coalition 2, deal 3k damage ^{Complete this mission in 3 battles in a row}

nothing to say, this one is pretty easy, did mine with VZ 55

• Coalition 3, earn 5 rewards in battle heroes and or epic medals ^{complete this mission in 10 battles}

French LT (ELC, EBR) can get Spotter or Scout medal, high caliber with VZ55, confederate with TVP, reset until you get a decent results on the first game (2 medals)

• Coalition 4, destroy or damage 25 internal modules ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

same concept with union and alliance mission, but I think Coalition got a better tank to choose, auto loader with great mobility and deadeye perk, BatChat series, Progetto, TVP, Skoda T56, EBR FL, almost did mine with TVP, was 24/25, ended up skipping it. Again, reset until you get a decent results on the first game (7 Crits)

• Coalition 5, block 30 enemy hits ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

Use AMX M4 mle. 51, hands down the best tank for this mission

• Coalition 6, score armor pen 75 times ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

Autoloader or fast firing tanks, did mine with TVP. Bourrasque, Batchat series, VZ, Progetto, EBR FL can also works

• Coalition 7, destroy 2 enemy of 2 different types ^{Complete this mission in 3 battles in a row}

did mine with TVP, same concept with coalition 1

• Coalition 8, earn Patrol duty award ^{Complete this mission in 2 out of 12 battles}

EBR series and ELC is a gem, reset until you get 1 on the first game

• Coalition 9, cause damage to an average of 4 different enemy vehicles per battle ^{Complete this mission in 10 battles}

Again, Auto loader is your best friend, did mine with TVP (this vehicle can carry you through coalition campaign haha), reset until you get decent results on the first game (12 hits)

• Coalition 10, enable allies to cause 1500 damage to enemy by your assist

EBR Series and ELC, did mine with EBR 105, I recommend tier X tanks

• Coalition 11, be the top player in battle by tanks destroyed ^{Complete this mission in 3 out of 9 battles}

I'm getting tired of typing this, its the auto loader guys, mine was TVP :D, in battles mean including your enemy team and reset until you get it on the first battle

• Coalition 12, Enable your allies to destroy 7 enemy vehicles by spotting them or destroying their tracks ^{Complete this mission in 10 Battles}

EBR series or ELC, reset until you get a decent results on the first game (3 kill assist)

• Coalition 13, Cause 2 times more damage than the hit points of your vehicle ^{Complete this mission in 3 out of 7 battles}

Batchat series, tvp series, skoda, Progetto can easily did this, don't use hardening yea :D, reset until you get it on the first battle

• Coalition 14, be the top player in battle by damage caused ^{Complete this mission in 3 out of 5 battles}

A very solid option is VZ-55, AMX 50B is also superb, but hard to play for newer player because of its armor, don't forget to reset if you didn't get it on the first try bois

• Coalition 15, get mastery badge class 1 or higher ^{Complete this mission 3 times out of 20 battles}

choose any tank that you are comfortable with, see your stats, I did this using P44 Pantera (very underrated tanks, speed is perfect, gun handling is perfect, gun accuracy is perfect), reset until you get it on the first game

Orders left: 0

Now, Congrats on getting the Obj. 279 (e), be ready to get yoloed by muppets 😀
