Hello everyone,
here’s how the Fury garage, that came in the 70 Mb minipatch, looks. Not bad, but nothing too special. I hope they return the poppy one in November.
- developers are considering a separate server for South America
- Q: “Why, when I am moving and I see a target and I stop and switch to sniper mode, the aim circle doesn’t get smaller for a second or two?” A (SerB): “If you were able to read (and understand what you are reading), you would find the answer to this (many times asked) question (it was answered numerous times).” (SS: it’s because the circle is bigger than the sniper mode view and doesn’t fit the screen)
- arty and HE rebalance coming? Storm: “Most likely not.”
- Q: “Arty should be buffed, it sucks” A: “On the other hand, statistically arty is doing fine and to buff it would be a mistake. Unless you mean rebalance it completely (buff something, nerf something else). But for now, we have more pressing issues to deal with.”
- Storm states that reworking (smoothing) the maps is worth doing even though new motion physics will make the vehicles ignore really small terrain features and not lose speed on small objects
Thanks to André (and one other reader) for his info.
Hello everyone,
during the recent community meeting in the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil, a Wargaming community manager I know only as “Steve” specifically confirmed the following:
- Havok will come in patch 9.6
- patch 9.6 is scheduled for January at this moment
So, thanks, Steve!
Hello everyone,
here are the results of the Panther DVD Competition, in which you can win the Panther DVDs :)
The questions I asked were:
1. At one point, German engineers proposed a close-support direct fire assault gun based on the Panther chassis. What was its name, what was it supposed to be armed with? (Hint: there was more than one, if you know the other one, I will be impressed)
Answer: Sturmpanzer Panther (or Sturmmörser Panther). There were actually two versions. One was with the 150mm StuH 43 variant, mounted in turret. The other was basically a Sturmgeschütz with a 210mm mortar (no drawings were found, pretty obscure stuff).
Well, with a two day delay, but whatever. Enjoy!
Thanks to Aqqe for this one.
Hello everyone,
so, you can cosplay a lot of characters. For guys, from what I have seen, it usually involves oversized polystyrene hammers and axes, for women it usually involves a lot of cleavage. But in Russia, you get to cosplay… tanks.
Hello everyone,

I suppose everyone knows about the exploit where when you put a less-than-50 percent driver into your racing Chaffee (for example by using a driver re-trained to American artillery), you will not accelerate any slower (or only by a little), but the vehicle will not drift at all, right? If anyone used this exploit during the tournament, they had a HUGE advantage. Oh well, Wargaming as usual.
In any case, here’s the translation today.
- there will apparently be a poll by Storm (not binding) to find out which maps the players want to remove
- Evilly confirms that the individual missions are currently in test mode
- apparently, the ISP’s of Ukraine were causing serious lags and crashes for WoT players lately
- Storm states that 7/42 battles (TB) are played more than WG expected
- there will be no HD model reworks in 9.4
- there is unfortunately “a lot of various problems” with HD model rework (SS: what I could piece together from various sources is that basically, WG outsourced the entire model re-work, which caused quite a lot of problems, the outsourcing companies (from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine) could not provide sufficient quality of the models and there were issues with communication. WG in tried several and at this point, WG’s own artists are creating the HD model themselves)

Hello everyone,
a couple of smaller things from the supertest. First, the new upcoming Stalingrad map (hopefuly in 9.5), 900x900m city map
