Hello everyone,
a player with nickname Aces managed to catch a WG CW developer in some café in Minsk and asked a few questions. I won’t translate the whole thing literally, but following pieces of info can be gleaned from it:
- the CW dev team was recently made bigger
- currently, they are working on several projects of various sizes, but the closest one is the second campaign
- Second campaign will have some significant changes from the first and it will come very soon
- furthermore, in October several CW features will come, they are practically ready:
1) Misdirection (Diversion, Sabotage) function – it works the same way as espionage/counterespionage (SS: or possibly “recoinnaissance” sorry, I don’t know the proper CW terms), it includes several tasks the saboteur can perform, like blocking some frontiers for the enemy or inciting rebellions
2) Portal recruiting center, where officers and recruiters will be able to sort candidates based on main statistical indicators and players will be able to leave their notes on what they look in a clan
3) The option to change clan name and tag
4) Clan gold transfer log
- “alternative CW content” is also being developed (no details)
- full rework of clan interface will come
- new clan rating will be implemented
- next CW update will apparently bring gold transactions log for clans
- according to Tanitha (SEA server), there will be a transfer possibility to SEA in the future
- the Chinese Type 34 with 57mm gun is not the Soviet T-34/57 exported to China, the Chinese mounted the gun themselves
- maps bigger than 1000x1000m are not made, because “a) it needs client optimization so that the majority of players could play them b) it needs somewhat different gameplay”
- Standard (old) graphic will not be removed in 0.9.0 (SS: some guy feared they would be removed, Storm stated he doesn’t know of any such plans)
- Storm confirms that the “arty HE shell kills no more than half or 3/5 of your crew” rule applies only when the shell doesn’t penetrate
- Jagdmaus is not planned for now
Hello everyone,
today, we are going to have a look at one vehicle, that could fit as a tier 2 premium tank.
History:
Much of the history of the Š-I series has already been written about in the previous article. Basically, it in the early 30′s, the tankettes were the “flavour of the year” and most armies dabbled in them one way or another. Czechoslovakia produced whole bunch of tankette designs, the most important of them being the P-I (also known as Tančík vz.33) and Š-I platform, on which the Š-I-d, Š-I-D and Š-I-j projects were built. The Š-I-D was then sold to Yugoslavia and served there under the designation of T-32, participating even in the war against Germans early on. That was in 1936-1937.

PHJ sent me this funny little video, kinda made me chuckle. Looks like TOGs are funny vehicles indeed :)

Thanks to (many) people who sent me this, I kinda missed it myself.
The next Top of the Tree after Object 268 (starting from 16.10.2013) will be AMX50B
Edit: looks like it’s been fixed
Hello everyone,
as you probably know, the October mission “Hero of the Day” was NOT fixed with today’s reset. The only thing that changed is that there’s now an official post claiming it will be fixed to count the damage in the future and not the XP. You know, “when it’s done it’s done”.
I had a look at how it is on the US server, that reported the same problem. Strangely enough it was confirmed by The_Chieftain that US server mission coding is correct (it has just wrong description), while on EU server both the coding and description are wrong. EU quality and all that.
However, a word of advice: despite what WG EU representatives claim, it’s VERY likely that no damage you deal today will count towards the goal if it gets fixed, so, unless you really want to grind 50k XP, I wouldn’t really bother.

Nothing much today…
- SerB states that LT branches without high level tanks are not interesting
- matchmaker is “alive, healthy and working”
- SerB states that the old MM that did put MS-1 in same teams with Maus was “really funny” (SS: in open beta, there were basically such battles)
- according to SerB, gold shells for credits did not reduce the use of HE shells much, HE is still in demand
- at this moment, only 1/3 to 1/4 of the WoT concept is implemented from what SerB would like to have it in the game, as a lot of things got delayed. Developers will continue to add the rest.
Update: according to this post, WG is still not decided whether they will fix it, or simply change the portal news and leave the 50k XP demand.
Hello everyone,
just a word of warning: the October mission “Hero of the Day”, in which you are supposed to do 50k damage for a 250k credits reward is not working properly – instead of damage, it really counts XP, as you can see clearly here:
WG employees assured us repeatedly that the valid part is the DAMAGE and it’s simply an error in description. It is not.
That means two things:
- first, I am pretty sure the mission will be fixed only with next reset, so don’t bother accumulating damage today
- damage done today before the mission is fixed will almost certainly not transferred
Simply put, don’t bother fulfilling it (50k XP per day is pretty hard), wait until WG fixes it.
