1. “apparently, this is actually intentional according to Storm”

   …so the fuckups are now intentional…

   ……This truly is Working As Intended™

   • That’s a fuckup? 0.o

     • Not a “fuckup” as the bar is expanded into the right hand side, over the vertical bar and the team list on the right hand side.

   • muh esthetics

   • It’s not a fuck up, it’s connected to the bar of the player that it’s displaying the information about. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people.

     • I’m not complaining*

     • But it would look much better, and standard, if the bar did not extend over the line segregating the Scores from Other Information, and that the bar selected was simply highlighted better…

       It’s called “being fucking tidy and getting something right for once”

       If the front-end is a mess, how can we trust that the back-end is not a….. oh … hang on.. I see….

2. - Storm confirms RU251 will come this year (SS: 9.3 most likely)

   cool

3. - Storm confirms RU251 will come this year (SS: 9.3 most likely)

   I guess that we wont see it before 9.∞

4. Nothing really new but glad to hear that you can add HD later on this will make download clients and updating much faster will it be introduced in 9.1

5. RU251… if it will come this year its awesome.
   Btw. Will it drive 89km/h?
   I guess they will nerf it with the usual sentence: “It would be stronker than russian skaut, so we nerfed the historical value!”

   • Yeah, probably that will piss off Munster in some way :D

   • As far as I know it will have a maximum speed of 70 km/h

     • stronk historical speed….can’t be stronkerer than sovjet skaut

   • Well same thing for ELC as historically it had an 80 kph top speed and up to 40 mm of armor at the most which is like 25 mm more that the ingame values

     • well, we have about three or four types of ELC historically AFAIK, the ingame version is a mashup of two of them, so I am asking, for which version is the 80 kph / 40mm armour historical?

6. The sentence ”when it’s done it’s done” is the most befitting thing for WarGaming company. I am looking forward to play Armored Warfare

   • When is AW?
     KTTC.

     • I have no idea for now. Such a wargamingish sentence :D

   • AW so nice to start with Tier 12 tanks :)
     but alas the hype, the hype…. until we see some game play footage we can’t even throw money at screen.

     • Idk u are trolling or not :) but graphics and the game engine looks promising

       • Cry(me-a-river)Engine. Fail or not?

         • Do i look like developer or sth from your point of view? But at least im sure that its better than wargaming’s futuristic engine. Also it seems havoc engine is not near.

       • not trolling, i also registered their AW forums and watch for every new dev post, but this year has tons of hype from triple A publishers and add all those Indie Hype games that exploded.

         so few good games so i’m skeptic, but i also believe in this particular studio : obsidian
         they made Fallout – vegas and South park – the stick of truth so i wonder what kind of Tank game are they gonna bring, should be interesting.

         • Yes, i feel like it will be some kind of mixture of WTGF and Wot because i heard that in AW tanks will have hp system.

           • Both WT and WoT have HP systems.
             One for modules only, another for both.
             So…I’ll take WoT one for more fun.
             AW going for fun too, probably.

             • Havent played WT just watched jingles a few times.

   • I’m signed up for closed beta and I check my email every day, just in case…

     • I did a min. ago as well :)

7. - the fact that you will be able to select whether you want to download HD content or not is confirmed

   i hope they will not allow this “feature”, splitting the client will be a total nightmare re software maintenance & development, and also this has never been done it’s against all best practice. if they can’t make the client optimize the graphic lvl automatically they should not bring in HD models (plus they can make them Less detailed but extremely satisfying to 90% customers) until they rework and apply Havok.

   • Texture compression and quality reduction, object detail (polygon count) reduction should do the trick.
     But NOOO- its WG :D

     • Woras look at this CryEngine 3 SDK: Tank AI Flowgraph Test – quite amazing and from 2012….

   • Considering that it’s just the models, it’s not a bad practice at all, really.

     Hell, I can replace the models myself, and make my tanks look like ATVs if I want, doesn’t change how the game works.

     The option would be equivalent to that, really.

   • for those who don’t know yet, there will be a WoWp test that does exactly this
     tests existence of the “normal” client and HD client http://worldofwarplanes.eu/en/news/3/sd-hd-client-update/

8. Let’s get some RU251 stat leaks!

   Didn’t the RU251 shoot HEAT as the normal munitions?

   • HESH actually.

     • *Looking at Batchat*

       Oh, booooy ^.^

9. *Side note* Translation bug is back on the NA website for the time being.

   *Main note* TIER 10 LIGHT TANKS!!!! Righteous. Can’t wait for a tier 10 light tank to rip up clan wars. I love my medium scout but a light scout at tier 10 will make me enjoy this game again.

   • Are you drunk on 4% beer?

10. “- Storm states that the new Nvidia drivers provide boost specifically for SLI in WoT”

    Thanks for reporting this. I had SLI disabled since 9.0. Turned it on and can confirm a 25+ fps increase to 55-75 fps on a dual 770 configuration running ultra at 2560×1600.

11. I think this has not been emphasized enough:

    “- Storm confirms RU251 will come this year (SS: 9.3 most likely)”

    HALLELUJAH! :D
    I can finally get rid of my Aufklärungspanzer Panther!
