Thanks to Orkel for this!
VK3601H 88mm gun mantlet got thicker in 8.8. This is how it looks:
In 8.7, it was 40-80-100, in 8.8 it is 50-100-135. Be advised that the Konisch uses a different mantlet, that is 100mm all across the space.

Gamescom Q&A
Hello everyone,
today, we have something interesting. As you probably know, I was not able to go to the Gamescom this year, but others did – in this case it was one player, who wished his nickname to remain anonymous, who met some of the developers and designers and asked some interesting questions. Of course, keep in mind that this is not a 100 percent info I can vouch for, but all of it seems kinda legit to me.
Here’s what he learned (the way he wrote it, I only corrected some typos):
- Japanese are most likely coming in 2013
- Chieftain and one more other T10 tank may come for the Brits.
- FV215B likely to be rebalanced

24.8.2013
- according to developer Marsching, the situation when one team has one tier 10 heavy as top, while the other team has only tier 8, is okay
- there existed a T-34/57 with a model 1943 turret, but it never participated in fighting and therefore it won’t be implemented into historical battles
- it is not planned to fix a “feature”, where when you equip gold consumables for silver, then silver consumables and then gold consumables again, the game will offer to buy them for gold
