Hello everyone,
for those who don’t know, Ilosz is the guy on EU forums, who makes his own (monthly I assume) WoT magazine. Its 2nd issue has some significant improvements from the 1st one, so if you want to have a look at it, you can find it online at this adress:

And no, promoting it has nothing to do with the fact there’s an interview with me! Or…. does it? :D
Discussion: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/291056-world-of-tanks-magazine-issue-2/
Did you contribute some content to it like last time SS?…
I never contributed any content to it personally. Ilosz just asked me, whether he can use some parts of the Q&A for it and I said yes (to be honest, I said no at first, because he was really obnoxious at one point, but we sorted that out). He’s okay, just… too enthusiastic at some points.
Looks like much work, but… i’m not going to read it.
I don’t know about the magazine’s content itself yet but that flash application is damn terrible. Just give us a PDF for Christ’s sake.
Yes, that was my reaction too. He offers the offline version thru some weird e-shop too, you can get it here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/house-of-ilosz/world-of-tanks-magazine-issue-2/ebook/product-21184671.html
There is a “download pdf” button at the top.
Welp, thanks.
This one looks really good compared to the first issue.
I’m in there somewhere :)
The “planning on expanding FTR” question made me think: Maybe you could try making a “Reports from the front” section? A place for us FTR readers to submit and read short stories, comics and memes made by other readers.
The problem is, with me the situation changes very quickly. This “interview” was done roughly two weeks ago I think and since then, things changed for me once again. For one,I got a bit more serious with my girlfriend, which means a bit less time for FTR.
So, for now, I am thinking of a shoutbox somewhere there for starters. And of course a graphic redesign, the current one will not do. Something very simple, no Flash gimmicks, smaller banner.
One part of it was to let someone else take care of it for you.
Current design/layout is very good, no point to screw it by fixing. Maybe some minor changes, but overall it should stay this way.
What you need is support – if you want to expand, because it just takes too much time to do everything by yourself.
‘When did you become an important person of the Player base?
I don’t think I am an “important person” really’
I have to disagree with you there SS. You are an important person and I can safely say that all of your readers and supporters think you ARE an important person.
Thanks, but that is very subjective. After all, what IS important, right?
I consider information to be very important, of which you provide plenty of. After all, knowing is half the battle.
The comics were cool, but why are there IMDB reviews at the end of a WoT magazine?
Actually didnt give it a name, but that section is meant to be my favourtie Series in this month.
Ah okay, was just curious.
The wartime articles (bombing raid fail, waffentragers and others) were interesting, and the comic section at the end is nice for those of us who don’t keep up with the off-topic forums.
Also the 8.8 patch summary is very useful for people who don’t read FTR every day (people on the forums still ask what will happen to 30.01H owners.)
Man, that guy needs to learn about readability… Things that look awesome on paper are mostly unreadable on LCDs…
If he stays e-way, he should change his approach. Or, even better, go blog/portal.
Ilosz, do not write german with a mistake on your frontpage. Haha…
Plural of ‘Waffenträger’ (weapon carrier) is ‘Waffenträger’ too.
