So, this is how the menu interface will look. You will be able to select the type of battle from the new menu (bonus: new vehicles uncovered – Lorraine G1L, captured Panther and captured Panzer IV – and the Brummbär:
just a quick request: I know it was me who encouraged it at one point, but the donkey stuff is seriously getting out of hand. Please do me a favor and take it easy with it, I really don’t want it to be under every post anymore. I rely on your decency, guys, I’d hate to have to start enforcing it. If you seriously want an outlet for your inner donkey, go post it on EU forums :)
- according to The_Chieftain, WG is talking about the American premium tank destroyer, it could have a 6 man crew
- from the same source, there was a talk about replacing the T28 with something historical, but no details
- according to SerB, the King of Jordan, who plays WoT, plays German branch
when I write the name “Churchill AVRE“, a lot of you fine folks will probably know what I am talking about: the well-known, engineering vehicle based on Churchill, armed with a 290mm Spigot mortar. While the platform itself isn’t that interesting, the mortar is regarded by many (incorrectly) as the ultimate derp (mostly because of its caliber). I mean, 290mm, that has to be the biggest bang on any non-arty vehicle around, no? I can already see some players drooling at the prospect of oneshotting pretty much everything with a MASSIVE HE shell.
For those interested in mobile gaming, Overlord wrote the requirements for World of Tanks: Blitz
- currently, HEAT shells are subject to 3-caliber and 10-caliber rules (SS: 3-caliber rule concerns overmatch, 10-caliber rule concerns the length of the shell flight within the vehicle)
- Superpershing will be sellable for gold only before 8.9 goes live
- SerB states that “tests will show”, what computer will run improved graphics in WoT at 50-60FPS, but it should be “normal gaming computer”
- Radeon notebook graphic card optimizations for WoT? “I will tell when it’s done”
some of you, who read the historical articles and have seen the Czechoslovak tank tree proposal, specifically artillery section, might remember that it was based on year or two old Tuccy’s proposal. The artillery branch basically went like this, but in light of the sources I had at the time, I decided to scrap Tuccy’s idea of the branch. However, that all was before the tier 10 arty was actually introduced (yes, long time ago). With the tier 10 arty requirement, there was suddenly a need for more proper tier 2 artillery vehicle for the Czechoslovak branch.
Originally, I did put the SD-76M (Czechoslovak SU-76) on that spot, but it seemed lame to me and I was wondering whether Tuccy was right after all. Well, I finally managed to get my hands on the book where Tuccy found the MU-4/I and I indeed think it would be a better tier 2 than my original proposal.
well, the Golden Donkey competition is over and I’d like to thank everyone for participating. Recieved over 150 contest entries and I had a great laugh sorting them out :)
The quality of various entries was various, some involved anatomic donkey details, others involved SerB AND anatomic donkey details (ugghhh). Oh and there have been three “y u play when u insult wg fuuu” e-mails, I had a good laugh about them too, thanks :)
It was actually really hard to pick one winner, but in the end, I picked Sethes:
