Not much today. Or rather… nothing at all (and I dug for an hour).

Meanwhile on EU server chat…

(taken today by me, cDa is a WG employee and moderator (and a nice guy overall BTW) – probably a mistake, but who knows with WG EU, maybe someone let something slip? :) )

Be also sure to check out Chieftain’s New Hatch on information sources. Pretty interesting stuff and anyone who is actively looking for info about tanks should read it.

  1. They did say so AFAIK but (hopefully) it will never happen. We dont need every battle on tier VIII with 7 Types per team like it used to be.

    • They didn’t have to. You have to consider two things:

      - Minsk and Paris are more often than not in conflict
      - local business policies are set up by servers independently, that’s why for example US server has different “cannot sell” tanks than the EU one

      • Why exactly are they in conflict? Did EU Paris do something that angered WG Minsk? I mean, aside from daily dose of fuck-up of course.

        • I think it’s annoying enough that they need to pay those scrubs each month for a job they aren’t doing not even remotely good enough.

  2. Compared with T-34-3, Type 59 has no character other than it isn’t outright terrible in any area. But dat Alpha can forgive lots of things. Same with 250pen HEAT and 40 rounds of hard carry potential.

    • T-34-3 alpha would have mattered if it can actually bring gun low enough to hit anything(and even then accuracy + terrible bloom on movement makes it iffy even at medium range).

      Type 59 instead has a good APCR that is way better than 250mm pen HEAT.

    • Just like this? lol

    Good read. Which ties in nicely with your “WG – promoting fake tanks” and “It’s a fake” articles. Now if they would only update the WoT wiki with some more correct disclaimers and historical info.

    • Plan on it as far as disclaimering/contradicting the “official” description. Good historical info takes good community support though. Remember, it’s a wiki, open and >user< editable. Us editors are there to (attempt) to keep things normal looking, not provide all the content.

      All moot till the new wiki launches.

  6. WG should unlock the type for play for everyone on the test server, just so people can get it out of their system and get over the type hype somewhat.

    Otherwise, let existing type owners sell their types to other players with a hefty Commission for WG per sale. This would still keep the type population constant (played a bit more at start by new owners) and not flood the servers, and make money for WG.

  7. No chance.
    It would need a nerf , than they can resell it.
    Or WG can make some sick pack with like 1 year subb/50 000 gold / Type 59 with suborbital price.
    People will still buy it -.-

  8. may be he just made a mistake , lock at storm he say that t57 arnt op at all even that it deserv a buff.
