Hello everyone,
Maiorboltach from the RU community posted about this nice little thing – in recent “Poka vse v tanke” video (sort of like videoblog with another popular Russian girl moderator), an interesting thing was shown: Historical battle mode interface prototype. Don’t be freaked out by the vehicles, it’s just a prototype with placeholders.
The first picture shows the historical battle ammo loadout screen, looks like the gold ammo will really be limited and the ammo setup is actually pre-set, you buy this preset in its entirety.
Second picture shows the battle choice. Nothing much to see there, except for the names of the battles. The battles planned apparently for the first round are the battle of Stalingrad, battle of Kursk, the Defense of Mogilev (early Blitzkrieg phase of operation Barbarossa in July 1941). The last battle (marked as “coming soon”) is named “Kursk salient”.
The video is interesting too by the way, as it contains “the making of Wargaming calendar” – with girls of course :)
Apparently, even if a tank is not an A-43 or Pz 3/4 in historical battles, it’s still an A-43 or Pz 3/4.
4.72″(120mm) AP T42? Almost exactly 120mm? Not 122? What historical tank fired that?
EDIT – Ah, the T34……why the T34 in historical battle mode?
Also, what does that paragraph to the side of the second image say?
That paragraph says..
“In 1999, the Hitchy Bolokov, created a time machine which sent Strontium Bouncinium armour back to The Great All Russians Saved the Entire World and the Evil Capitalist Westerners Do Not Appreciate Patriotic War”
Seriously?
Probably yet more jingoistic trolling from WG’s developers (Wouldn’t be surprised if they had Yuri Pashalok write it and then put it into the prototype for shits and giggles).
That is, assuming that’s what it actually says. I can’t read Cyrillic.
No it doesnt say that.
See Kyeaah post below.
Heh… It seems Yuri was pretty spot on in his assessment of the majority of ftr viewers
That’s why it’s called “HISTORICAL BATTLE INTERFACE PROTOTYPE”. Try using your brain more next time.
It’s a placeholder text which says “In 1999, the Kaspersky lab designed the first ever antivirus software for servers and file … “
^ for real.
^ he isnt even joking.
On the first picture what does the 50k gold 100k and 200k credit stands for?
Price of ammo that you will have to buy before historical battle. For every battle its own set of shells. Something along those lines.
I can say I am quite certain not one setup with gold ammo can cost 166 euros. So its quite certainly NOT the ammo cost.
It’s placeholder cost.
Ah, that declares it. Thank you!
there is nothing else mentioned in description but ammo + its a Beta
4 HE shells? Much historicul…
Well, since HE where mostly used against buildings and other soft targets they would not load to many of these into a battle where only armour where anticipated.
You would be surprised. Tanks don’t fight alone IRL.
True, but we wouldn’t exactly see any infantry in Historical Battles, right?
Exactly, the Stug has a very limited ammo capaicty, and I wouldn’t want them to take away half of that for HE shells.
Ася is 10 times hotter than those calender girls. And is literally the only reason I watch every episode of Пока все в танке.
i will play with kv 2… hłe hłe hłe
enjoy your AP shells
In 3 years this is the feature I have been waiting for, but if they let people use gold ammo they can stick it up their ass.
you can always wait for Wt Gf, they seem to be going with a more realistic approach
I can’t be bothered to play WT as it is (air battles seem fundamentally more simplistic than ground battles), but I am interested to see how GF pans out.
The sim-like approach is a refreshing change from WoT’s system. The lack of an artificial aiming circle is rather appealing, as is the increased potential combat range.
Only weird I’ve seen is the seemingly chaotic nature of the battles. Seems to go, even with a serious gamer like Quickybaby, ‘enemy sighted, immediately stop moving, shoot enemy until one of us is dead’. Maybe it is something to do with garage battles, but I don’t understand why players aren’t being more tactical, e.g. retreating, finding cover.
“The video is interesting too by the way, as it contains “the making of Wargaming calendar” – with girls of course :) ”
Hey, hey, hey! Do I feel “light” sexism here (not about the whole thing, but by the phrase – of course )? :)
You want men to appear on your calendar?
Jagdtiger will be the only tier 9 tank in historical battles and Ferdinand in 1943 (tier 8 against tier 5 t-34). A little unbalanced.
Anyway premium tank can participate in Historical battles? Panther/M10 or Dicker Max
Oh and i forgot. SU-14-2 in Battle of Moscow :D
Would we not also see the Tiger 2 at teir 8 as well
Tiger 2 will met against the ISU-152, SU-85/100/152 and IS and T-34-85 so this will be not soooo unbalanced.
That makes sense could be quite fun
If I remember, it was said that Panther M10 might appear as well as other premium vehicles, while the only restriction was placed on whenever they were or were not in given battle so the question is, will there be Ardennes for example.
Looks really interesting I like how the gold ammo will be limited could turn out to be very fun actually.
Everyone talking about tanks and no one about the hot girls in the video. Hmm…
I would assume because we have plenty of… girls… in our immediate vicinity and that one reading this forums would determine that tanks are more exciting than girl(s) around them, at this point of time.
The video is interesting too by the way, as it contains “the making of Wargaming calendar” – with girls of course :)
so no serb sexy pics?? damn !!! :(
So then did A-43 have a tier 9 arty as picture? :)
That is one pretty girl.. which talks a lot and quite fast lol
Anyway, that video.. about tanks at the end.. with ISU I want more of it!! xD
If only they would limit the ammo loadout for randoms and not only in historical mode so faggits can’t spam Sssss shells at you 0-24.
Irony, word “historical” in a fictional arcade boardgame.
ppl, is just me or i think that garage is a little bit different??
i will spam all the gold shells i want in pub matches
So one would have to pay gold for the better ammo loadouts?
Okay, if that makes it into the final gamemode, any claims that the game doesn’t have a pay to win aspect will immediately go out the window. I’m almost certain that will be removed at some point during testing.
