        • I run on my PC X-Plane on nearly highest resolution with 60 fps and my PC calculates the aerodynamics twice each frame.
          I run Warthunder on max settings with 120 fps.
          I run BF4 with130 fps on max settings.
          WOT is running with around 50 fps, a ping between 100-200 at the evening when more than 80’000 players are online and you are telling us – we should buy new hardware?

          • i see often people who complain about new patches and more fps drops .. and they have pc’s which costs round about 200€ .. or they play on old laptops … anyway i had never problems with new patches and my pc is like 3 years old

            • Try it out on test then. I’ve a moderately ok PC, 30fps arcade 25 sniper at middling settings. Dropped about 10 across the board for as close to the same settings I could do. Dropped them all the way to low on improved, gained 3-4 back, whoopie. Maxed what I could on standard, 60+ fps.

              Standard’s really not that bad looking suddenly.

              And ya, can run many other things at far higher rates.

              Bad engine is bad. But, it’s what they have. New engine isn’t going to happen.

    • I would highly doubt it is all servers. Probably just the RU and then EU/Asia 2 days later and NA the following Tuesday. One can only wish it were all servers.

  4. So implementation will be on 16/04/2014, counting on the common 1 day delay.
    Hope they will not launch it broken as it was with test 2. Had actually better FPS on first iteration of test.

    • Only for “some” players.

      For me, for example, the change of lightning effects/shading system fucked up the FPS.

      And no, my PC is far from being considered a “wooden” one.Maybe after 4 years I’ll call it like that…

      • But how about that option “3D render”? I think it’s for laptop players, as you can boost fps, with graphic details drop.

        • 3D render option is used to exploit NVidia 3D Vision screens and glasses nothing related to laptop.
          Don’t know if there is an equivalent on AMD/ATI.

          • Don’t take that shit anymore …….3D render resolution is resolution of the rendered world and tanks and objects etc. Nothing to do with nvidia 3d vision….

      • And what can I say? My i5/GT540M laptop combo can’t stand improved graphics from 8.5 (it was quite playable before, though) and after the last patch even standard graphics seem to be too much. Will they ever get the term “optimization”?

        • When will ppl wake up and stop considering laptops as gaming machines…..
          Your CPU may be ok for the game, but your graphics card is not, the “M” after its name is there for a reason ;)

  11. I guess there will be “only” the 10 or so HD models they now got on test from start. Anyway, they look great. And historical mode is fun, too.

  12. Wonder how many days of lags after the patch day will we see this time? The patch is bigger, so I’m guessing two weeks of super duper lags and spikes for everyone :)

  15. 15.4.2014? Hmmm…
    1865 – Abraham Lincoln dies after being shot the previous evening by actor John Wilkes Booth.
    1912 – The British passenger liner RMS Titanic sinks in the North Atlantic at 2:20 a.m., two hours and forty minutes after hitting an iceberg. Only 710 of 2,227 passengers and crew on board survive.
    1920 – Two security guards are murdered during a robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts. Anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti would be convicted of and executed for the crime, amid much controversy.
    1921 – Black Friday: mine owners announce more wage and price cuts, leading to the threat of a strike all across England.
    1941 – In the Belfast Blitz, two-hundred bombers of the German Luftwaffe attack Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom killing one thousand people.
    2013 – Two bombs explode near the finish line at the Boston Marathon in Boston, Massachusetts, killing 3 people and injuring 264 others.
    Tax Day, the official deadline for filing an individual tax return (or requesting an extension).

    I bet this tragic line will continue…

  16. Let’s see how will WG manage to fuck up this patch as well. But I guess there’s not gonna be much effort, they’re WG after all. Fucking up is their primary job.

  17. Asia Cluster already set the date for Server Maintaince on 17/4 as well.
    Maybe 9.0 will go LIVE on Asia server on the same day too.

  18. 9.0 = fuck, what are U doing Wg, poor texture, poor graphics, just some nice hd models,
    fps drops =.=’
    What i can say. lol
