Object 279 eh ridiculous tracks and insane armor angles, I wonder what happen if you put in-game and the player’s response would be OMFG? Is that UFO on tracks :)

It was in a Q&A thread a long time ago, last summer IIRC. When asked what thing he would undo given the chance, he said putting the IS-7 in the game.

Not fully submerged, but they did test fording water hazards without any equipment.

Did the Russians tested some Polish (captured) tank projects and did they use one or two of them on the battlefield?

Was arty nerf overdone? Maybe, but I won’t cry about it. It’s still better than bunch of idiots with 400-500 eff sitting in GW Tiger with one hand on the mouse, the other hand no doubt scratching balls and lobbying shells for +1000dmg. There no perfect solution for it, but this is better than +5 arty retards per side. Pre 8.6 playing arty was way too easy, even an arty noob like myself was able to get +2000 avg dmg per game in SU-14. It had a certain appeal for very weak players, hence that rising popularity of arty. Also my impression is that right now in 8.6 we mostly seeing good arty players.

Only fueltanks in tracks mountings are external. IIRC Object 279 still have fueltanks inside of tank hull. IS-7, for example, have 2 external fueltanks along side armor inside of “falseboard” (side spaced armor), but it also have 2 fueltanks in hull (between torsion bars AFAIK).

Maybe, they could limit numbers of track hits from one lucky side shots. Looking at all heavy tanks project from last Army heavy tank competition, Object 279 isn’t best candidate for tier 10 HT. Object 277/278 and Object 770 are much better vehicles for WoT.
