I didn’t like the new gun sounds anyways. Lets rename 9.1 patch to 9.0 because that’s what it is really

You can play in window mode. And you get widescreen aspect ratio (some, minimum vertical is 768) and less GPU strain – only it’s “window” and majority won’t bother.

My fps got reduced a lot with the 2nd public test server, so this patch aint going to be a 9.1 but a 9.0.1

nixxxie, ffs, this isn’t so hard to understand and has nothing to do with video cards or wide screen resolutions – I suppose, if 70% of RU playerbase has very weak and old computers, then the same 70% of them have 17 or 19 inch LCD monitors, bought in the same old days, which ALL had 5:4 aspect ratio and 1280×1024 resolution.
This means, that up until today most of those players should have played the game with some no-native resolution, which looks totally terrible on LCD monitors. It isn’t so, that you can play the game in non-deformed wide screen resolution on your 5:4 monitor.
So, this is a very welcome addition but comes at least 3 years late. :)

Not a kid but an adult historical tank supporter, I am also not a brain dead WOT fanatic. If there are better historical game out there I will play it not stay in WOT if it is unsatisfying.

You can still have new sounds, if you backed up the audio folder before test 2, you can just replace the audio folder now and still have the sounds :D no engines though :(

I AM serious. Let me explain:
5:4 most likely means old 1280×1024 screen, so this serves as our example. Reasonable guess is that it is connected to an OLD and WEAK GPU in old computer.
1.25(5:4) 1280×1024=1 310 720pixels, while at the same width
1.78(16:9) 1280×720=921 600pixels, which means
389.120pixels difference – mainly useless pixels, rendering some ground and sky, puttting strain on your gpu (remember, weak and old) and messing with your FOV as a side effect.
This strain is ~42% more than 1,78 value (that’s what you lose), or ~30% less than 1,25 value (that’s what you gain, if you “lower” your resolution to 1,78 on your old screen). And no, it won’t hurt your gameplay, it actually helps your gameplay because you get proper wide perspective without useless parts rendered, while reducing significantly strain on GPU (remember, ~30%).

1.25 aspect ratio puts you rather at disadvantage than advantage – but it’s still unfair to all players that are not aware and do not tinker in options heavily themselves.
