First: an invite code for US players (sorry, US server only): http://www.lfgcomic.com/worldoftanks/ (thanks to Mister_Red for this one)
Some interesting links:

Now, back to regular Q&A :)

- damage your shells inflict does not depend on range of the shot (SS: damage doesn’t drop with range, unlike penetration)
- there are no plans for a TD nerf for now – “if it is needed, there will be one”
- Q: “Are you happy with 0.8.6?” A: “We’ll see in a week or two. Payments go up – we’ll be happy, payments go down – we won’t.”
- related to previous question Q: “So, the project will live while the payments keep on coming? (with hope and a bit of irony)” A: “Why irony? That’s how life works.”
- the SAU40, ARLv39, AMX AC48 miniturrets are armed with a variety of weapons, from Hotchkiss MG’s to 20mm autocannons
- when 112 comes out, it does mean that there will be two T8 Chinese heavy tanks on Chinese server (112 and WZ-111): “They need it.”
- SerB thinks that when Westwood made their Soviet double-barelled tanks for Red Alert, they most likely didn’t know about the ST-II tank (SS: twin-barelled 122mm ST-I)
- SerB doesn’t ride bike (but many other WG employees in Minsk do), he uses mostly train to travel between Moscow, Minsk and Kiev
- apparently the difference of British arties from other arties is that “the British arty crews get served tea with pudding”
- this applies to RU server only I believe: SerB doesn’t recommend making forum accounts with “SerB” as a nickname and with SerB’s avatar (or something similiar), because you could be banned for impersonating a developer (SS: and because impersonating WG staff can be uncovered quite easily, right, Kewei? :) )
- SerB doesn’t think arty was overnerfed
- if you don’t like the dynamic camera, SerB suggests you disable it
- tier 8 premium with autoloader? “When there is one, I will tell”

PS: just a reminder guys, if you want to help FTR out, disable your AdBlock :) Thank you.

  1. “- Q: “Are you happy with 0.8.6?” A: “We’ll see in a week or two. Payments go up – we’ll be happy, payments go down – we won’t.”’

    Well, okay, that was blunt. lol

    - SerB doesn’t ride bike (but many other WG employees in Minsk do), he uses mostly train to travel between Moscow, Minsk and Kiev

    Like anyone gives a rat’s multi-colored arse. What retarded troll asked that stupid question?

  2. “- the SAU40, ARLv39, AMX AC48 miniturrets are armed with a variety of weapons, from Hotchkiss MG’s to 20mm autocannons”

    Well, like it matters :) The tumor on top of ARLv39 (just like this wasn’t enough) is turned backwards, so it “faces” the enemy with weaker armor – not that 5 mm make a difference, but I still feel trolled! :)

  3. “SerB doesn’t think arty was overnerfed”

    SerB is a developer, not a player, big difference.

    • You’re right. He doesn’t play so he still doesn’t know that they’re still able to one-shot tanks – the main problem with arty.

    • SerB plays, just not as often as a regular player. He has admitted to being in the middle of a grind in several tanks. Read FTR more often.

      NEMO.

  4. arty overnerfed? c`mon guys … you know that is not true. After patch it is actualy harder to cover from arty than before

  5. Silentstalker: Are you just translating the QA’s or do you ask some of the questions sometimes?

    • well for disabeling ABP thats done long time ago.
      what i dont like is that i have to allow googlesyndication.com in noscript to see the adds …

  7. - when 112 comes out, it does mean that there will be two T8 Chinese heavy tanks on Chinese server (112 and WZ-111): “They need it.”

    That Chinese server is somewhat wonderland of magic.

  9. Mentioning Red Alert brought back some old memories. Soviet Heavy Tanks and Mammoth Tanks… I loved that game, Soviets were mighty.

  11. - SerB doesn’t ride bike (but many other WG employees in Minsk do), he uses mostly train to travel between Moscow, Minsk and Kiev

    Now we know why SerB is as hard as they can get.
    HE TAKES THE METRO!

  15. Frank reads and translates Q&A. That is a MASSIVE job.
    And you think he dont deserve a reward?
    I want to bitchslap you so hard that you fly to Neptune’s orbit.

  16. That tea and pudding comment from SerB,just epic!…haha,I mean,what is he doing the whole day?Coming up with adorable stupid comments which he would lately use?…I guess,that explains it all,haha

    • I never understood tea and pudding for British crews……crumpets maybe as they are the mark of civilization but ‘pudding’. Does SerB think all British men carry umbrellas and wear bowler hats as well?
