       Premium MM removed, the tank now faces t10 as intended
       Fixed error in module hitboxes, ammo is now stored in the radioman’s dome as it did in reallity.

       Minor rebalances

       • Cringeworthy…

         • wut stahp troll

           • Why? I thought I did a pretty good job with that.

           • Your nick kind of gave it away though…

       • source?
         btw. i accept the KV-5 “buff” if the MM keeps the same ;D

       • KV-5 with normal mm, glad I don’t own one of those

         • It’s a joke… These 3 tanks are Kazomir’s favorites so i couldn’t help myself.

           • Had to give it to ya, it made me shiver even if i knew its not true :)

           • got me there.
             I was REALLY worried.

       • Not the StuG gun! Plz don’t!

         • How terrible

       • trolololollololololllololololololool

       • the is about kv5 is a joke right ?I dont own one but if I had one I would be really pissed off.

         • No, it’s all fake. I made it up to mess with Kazomir… And eveyone else falls for it :P

           • How terrible…

           • Except the target himself, who knows whats up :D

             Srsly could anyone believe that they remove the L/70 from the stug just as the doom bus is coming into the game with 197mm pen at tier 5? :D

           • “Profitabillity decreased by 11%
             Fixed unhistorical error in armor model, HE shells should now penetrate the mantlet as intended.”

             Here I realised that it’s gotta be fake.

       • haha, nice job

       • - Penetration increased to 181mm, maximum damage is as it should be.

       • Don’t give them ideas

       • Hahaha that last assertion for KV-5:
         “Fixed error in module hitboxes, ammo is now stored in the radioman’s dome as it did in reallity.”
         You made my day, thank you.

         • No problem, it’s why I’m here.

2. i hope WT gets view nerf!!!

   • i hope WT gets RoF and Acc. Buff :)

     • yea we want the 128mm gun acc like the panther 7,5/l100 0,26 :D

       • The looooooooong 7.5 cm had 0.26 accuracy with the old system, now it’s 0.32 I think. the WTE-100′s gun is actually more accurate than the panthers gun.

         • Its actually the most accurate gun in the whole game.

           • Fun fact: because it can’t mount improved ventilation, any tank with 0.3 dispersion that is closed top can have higher effective dispersion (though not massively).

           • Well, higher accuracy, lower dispersion. -_-

           • Yes, open topped tanks have the 5% vent bonus, because.. the crew dont need a ventilation, they are outside! :D

             Leopard 1 has 0,28 with 100% crew and vents.. with only 100% crew 0,29

           • nope it has .3 acc with 100% crew and i think vents doesn’t work on acc

           • wrong, a 100% commander gives 10% to the other crewmembers.. so the gunner is actually at 110%
             the stats that are listed in the game are with 100%..

             with vents or in open topped tanks it rises to 116% per crewmember
             the commander has then 105% and gives 11% bonus + 5% vents/opentopped

           • Wrong!
             Open topped vehicles DONT get the 5% buff for being open. WG mentioned that this is already “calculated”/”considered” in the vehiecle stats. So The WT accu with .29 has that “vent” already in.

3. FOURTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   • we now have 4 donkeys for you

     • DIE DONKEY
       DIE DONKEY
       DIE DONKEY
       DIE DONKEY

       • the lorraine actually has enough rounds in the clip to kill 4 donkeys at will. You dont need 4 of em.

         • i rather use my dick than my clip
           donkey is actually hard to penetrate

4. Buff acceleration on Borsig and Sturer.

   • on the borsing it would be good

     • Borsing WT is a mighty fine vehicle IMO. Buffing the acceleration will make it a TD/medium hybrid with huge gun.

       • Aint gonna use 15cm for sure.

         • 215 on tier 8 is enough.. i had my training with the t54e1 :P I know where to shoot XD

           • Or I might spam gold with 15cm.
             Will see.

           • heat is shit :P position yourself at a flank or in the middle of the map and you get a lot of sideshots, in cqc the accuracy is okay to hit a lot weakspots..

           • That line will test my ninja skills.

           • I like ninjaring someone for 750dmg

         • the 150 is crap. Use the 128. Wich is still huge for a tier 8 med-TD hybrid.

           • 750dmg is way to good to not use it.. you need that fearfactor

           • 128 gun have that fearfactor to not bounce down :P and shoot twice as faster than that 15cm gun

           • and the 150 is 2tons lighter :P and meds at t9 have also arround 215pen like the t54e1 which mobility is lot like the rheibors

           • Yea but you will play it more as a TD than a med. And a TD at tier 8 with 212mm pen is downright disgracefull. Yes im looking at you too, russian piece of junk.

           • but its more like a medium than the isu.. :P isu is sluggish without turret

5. “just a minor patch”… nahh.. just a small balance tweaks like… huge bufs (+5m of view range) and minor nerfs (-30% of ROF or -50% if it’s German tank) ;)

   • soviet tank minor buff is increasing penetration and RoF by 50%
     reducing shell dispersion by 50%

6. Where can we find the changelog between test1 and test2 (even if it’s in Russian)?

   • t44-85 aimtime decreased to 1,9 and dispersion to 4,0
     wt e100 reloads decreased from 60 and 50 to 55 and 47 but reload between shots from 2 and 3 to 3 and 4. Dispersion after shot increased by 27% and dispersion after turret rotation increased by 18%ˇfor 150mm gun and 37% for 128mm gun. Aimtime increased to 1.9 and 2.3. Terrain passability increased by 12% on hard and soft terrain and by 8% on very soft terrain.
     rhmb wt turret traverse decreased to 18 deg/sec and aimtime increased to 2.5 and 3 sec.

     • source link?

     • you’re lying

     • 4sec between shots? thats too bad to be true liar :D
       this thing will gets a buff not a nerf, nobody will grind it if so

7. I guess if SS or anyone else had access to the changelog, it would have been posted here already.

   • I thought that he was in a hurry, and that that’s the reason why he didn’t put it here.

8. I can’t go into the test server and i don’t know where to download the patch, it’s not in the launcher

9. Minor changes generally mean they’re pretty satisfied with the current setup’s performance; On the plus side, it also means we get to see the release that little bit sooner with few changes.

   I wonder if they’ll change the Type-64 to a TD instead of a light since it’s basically built from TD and AA tank parts. It’d make a great starter Chinese crew trainer.

   • Yeah but the chassis is that of a light tank.

     • That goes for a lot of TDs at the low-middle tiers, mind.

   • Its shitty gun and good mobility make it more a scout than a TD.

10. Still no update. Is it delayed?

    • Wouldn’t be the most shocking thing ever.

11. The donkey’s are still working on it :)))

12. Sorry, a little bit OFF:
    Would someone translate this to english?

    “не сможем. р расмотрит и примит. бля чё за хуяня. отправь на маилку коммандир примет.”

    • Google translate ne1?:
      we can not. district will review and accept. Th for fucking Huyan. send to mailku will kommandir

      Dunno what it means though…………

      • I tried google translate, but you know, it doesnt translate perfectly. So I thought there will be anyone, who speaks russian, too.

    • It looks like a part something bigger, answer for a question. Need context. My russian is not so good

      • There is a clan on the EU server, and I wanted to join. But the recruiter doesnt speak english, he is russian (and the clan is, too) and I dont speak russian. The upper text is what has he written.

        If I remember correctly my question was: “Do I fit in the clan?” (Just in russian language with google translate).

13. SS: do you know an aprox. release date(or an accurate for that sake) for the 8.9 update?

14. Silentstalker, do a WG fail edition with WGNA, because NA STILL HASN’T BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE TEST SERVER

    • They announced it, but it was put in late and buried behind more recent articles. It’s now on page 3 of the portal links.

      http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/19/8-9-public-test/

      • this is release of the first public test. the official announcement will come a few days later, next week

15. So, the second test will be released tomorrow, in conclusion…it’s fine by me :)

16. I mean really, what the fuck has changed?
