Buff My Tank: KV-1S/IS
Disclaimer: the contents of these articles merely illustrate the resources available for a historically accurate buff. This article does not imply that these changes should happen or will happen, either in combination or individually. Please pay attention to this disclaimer before being butthurt in the comments, thanks in advance.
Earlier this week, I did an article on the KV-1 tank. I was going to do the Kirov trinity in one go, but the KV-1 had enough material to stand on its own. The KV-1S and IS are too intertwined, however, so they will have to share an article.
8.9 – a bunch of extra pictures
8.9 info from ASAP/KTTS
Hello everyone,
Russian 8.9 ASAP video is up, you can watch it here:
In it:
- in 8.9 German TD’s will come, new map, and 7/42 companies, 3 premium vehicles
8.9 new map – North-West
New map (North-West) – official WG description:
This rustic, rural location may have been a peaceful, agricultural haven at one time, but these days, it is only host to hostile machinery. Northwest features a scenic, pastoral setting marked by farm equipment and open fields.
This map provides a good variety of high and low hotspots, as well as plenty of camouflage opportunities, as the map is peppered with trees. Don’t get too distracted by the scenery, because getting caught in the open on Northwest is a recipe for destruction.

- the situation when a teammate runs into your shot (that is already flying) will still count as teamdamage, won’t be changed
- SerB states that the assumption premium tanks should have lower average winrate than regular tanks of the same class is correct
- SerB considers too high winrate for premium tanks a problem: “We don’t sell pwnage for money”
FTR on FB and more
Hello everyone,
in last month, there was a huge influx of readers for FTR, on some days in truly unexpected numbers. I’d like to thank you all for your continued support!
For those who are new here: there is a For the Record Facebook page, where I am posting less important info, quick updates and other stuff, so the blog itself is not spammed too much. If you want the quickest updates on everything or are simply wondering “what’s taking so long today”, chances are the answer is there.
As always, I’d like to thank everyone who switched their Adblock off for this page, you guys keep the page going, literally. If you haven’t switched the Adblock yet, well – that’s up to you of course, I won’t urge you to change this. But it helps me.
And of course, if someone doesn’t want to bother with Adblock, but would like to contribute either way, the Paypal Donate button is in the upper right corner :)
Seriously though, all support (even words) is greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone!

7/42 companies and more in 8.9
Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/2574634.html
Hello everyone,
as you probably noticed, 7/42 companies are coming to World of Tanks as predicted in patch 8.9. For details, check the linked post, but I think that the really interesting part is the – so much desired – skill MM.
What is not mentioned however is that the 7/42 mode will run on following maps: Lakesville, Abbey, Prokhorovka, Mines, Ruinberg, Steppes, Himmelsdorf , Ensk and Cliff. The mode of these maps will be only standard for now (no assaults or encounters). As for XP and credit gains, it will work just like in random for now (eg. no company bonuses).
Storm on mods
Source: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/250015.html
Hello everyone,
Storm recently posted a topic on developer forum, where he asks players, what mods they use (linked above, if you speak Russian, you can leave him some feedback too). Not much more to it (mostly player writing), but several pieces of info can be found there:
- Storm likes the damage panel used in leagues, it’s possible it will be implemented into the game
- at this moment Storm is studying map feedback (“hotspots” – where people die the most, from where people shoot the most etc), results will be used in future map reworks and mapmaking
- Storm states that cca 10-15 percent of all players use some mods, the most popular mod is XVM
8.8 lag fix? (possible)
Hello everyone,
yesterday, I recieved an e-mail from NAZ2222 (EU) regarding a possible fix of the lag issues, that came in 8.8 – please be aware that I did NOT test this solution, so I have no idea if it really works or not. Please let me know. Here’s what NAZ2222 suggests:
