This is the regular daily QA thread. There will be one more special QA post after this today.
- Storm states that the player opinion “there is less than one arty and one scout per battle on average” is not true according to WG’s statistics
- how much arty in battles on average? “less than Storm would like”
- Storm on Superpershing armor: “We are not hiding anything. As usual, we don’t comment on armor.” (SS: when accused that they are hiding some nerfs of SP armor)
As predicted, 8.8 came live to Russia today.
- There was apparently a bug in the patch that prevented people from selling the Superpershing for gold, but it has been fixed since.
- As confirmed earlier, the 112 and T-34-3 premium tanks are available only via gift shop. In Russia, the T-34-3 itself (without the costof the garage slot) costs an equivalent of 10800 gold, while the 112 costs an equivalent of 12100 gold.
- as confirmed earlier by WG, a lot of mods stopped working in 8.8. There is a sort of “fix” however: earlier, some mods installed their elements into the \gui\flash folder. In 8.8, they use \gui\scaleform folder – some mods will start working if you copy the mod content from the flash to scaleform folder. Don’t ask me any details tho, I don’t use mods. Also, “Jove Pack” (whatever that is) along with some version of XVM do work in 8.8
- confirmed: owners of VK3001H will get free VK3002M with new 100 percent crew + a slot, while the old VK3001H crew gets automatically retrained to the VK3001H tier 5 heavy tank (if you want to keep it in “medium” class, you have to retrain it to another medium tank)
- how to earn some litte credit: if you have one of the vehicles that get their engines changed (Tiger, Tiger II, Panther, Panther II, Jagdpanther, Jagdpanther II, Jagdtiger, VK2801), sell immediately all the stock engines you might have in your depot. In the patch, the top engine gets demounted (and changed) and you will recieve an extra stock engine for free.

Hello everyone,
just a quick heads up before the forums explode with rage over “unexpected nerfs”:
Detailed Russian patchnotes are out. Amongst other things, they contain the following:
M4A3E8 Sherman:
Время прицеливания орудия 76 mm Gun M1A2 изменено с 2,3 сек. до 3,5 сек.
Разброс орудия 76 mm Gun M1A2 после выстрела увеличен на 50%.
(aim time increased from 2,3s to 3,5s, aim spread after shooting increased by 50 percent)
Don’t panic!
This does NOT concern the ingame M4A3E8, it concerns the vehicle that is used in the (American) tutorial, which is designated as “M4A3E8″ too, but it is a separate vehicle. So don’t worry, no Sherman nerfs are coming. At least not for now :P
This has been confirmed by both The_Chieftain and Storm.
- SerB thinks not everyone (by far) will sell the Superpershing in 8.8
- according to SerB, there is no guarantee that Superpershing’s gold price won’t be increased (SS: after the tank stops being sellable for gold)
- +/-1 MM spread won’t be added
- official rating will not be displayed around player’s nick in battle
- exact XP gain formula won’t be disclosed
- there might be another Soviet TD branch implemented in the future
- T-44-122 will be a reward tank for supertesters only (SS: probably to reward the leaks lately)
Okay, this made me laugh a lot… fearsome Syrian rebels :)
