6.7.2014

Well, hopefully we’ll get some solid new info tomorrow (Storm’s returning to the office). In the meanwhile, you can check out Chieftain’s Hatch about comparing the British cruisers and American tanks.

- there are no plans to buff Super Pershing
- developers are working on a fix of the bug where you can’t see your friends in your friendslist online even though they are (SS: nope, it’s still not fixed)
- the Sixth Sense is currently working fine (SS: some player was complaining that it doesn’t light up properly)
- an interesting thing, a developer (of some sorts anyway) stated that the legendary MTLS-1G14 tankette (the one with twin cannons) is a part of the American gift edition. I am pretty sure he’s wrong since there is no “American gift edition”, but it was planned as such in the distant past it seems.

  1. Any news about fixing bug with dead tanks still moving? I know they planned to fix it in last patch but they failed and dead tanks are still moving.

    • It’s “fixed” and clearly not happening anymore.
      So no fix until 9.5

    • Well, for me it started after the 9.1 and was dsastic since all wrecks travelled along the map , then after the hotfix it disappeared . Seems strange but these were stronk patch an fix by WG

    • I have a problem, my corps didnt move sometime…
      I shoot a tank, and the ammo explodint in a wreck, 10m away…didnt sync properly between client/server…
      Anybody else same problem?

  2. Of course the SP wont be buffed..those damn commies are still pissed about the cold war

        • IS-6 has DPM, mobility and troll armor.
          KV-5 has the highest DPM of those three, it is even mobile than Failshing and it has retarded amount of HP for compensating its weakspots – however if you can angle KV-5 weakspots are allways hidden so get your facts sorted and do no try compare SP to KV-5 where Kv-5 just shine.

        • lol… you dont have the kv-5 do you ?

          I got overtaken by the T34

          Im happy you didnt point out the amazing KV-5′s armor :D

            • and the driver R2D2, and the commander hatch.. did i forgot its loader machine gun turret? My bad, i even forgot that the frontal turret itself is a giant weakspot for tier 8 gun. Did i tell you you can shoot the engine radiator from frontal though the side of turret? wellcome to world of weakspot
              @xidex: don’t mistake me, i don’t said KV-5 is weak or need a buff. It’s fine with me. but compare to SP, i don’t think it’s better in anyway. Highest DPS? for what when you can’t pen enemy tier 8? highest Hp pool… don’t forget SP have the highest Hp pool over all tier 8 medium.

  3. There were at least three gift packages prepared for putting out – Pz IIJ, BT-SV and MTLS. But only two of them were really putted out, I had a possibility to play with MTLS and assume why it wasn’t. This vehicle is so damn OP (400 DMG per one magazine – you can kill every single vehicle on tiers I – IV), that could deeply break the tier 3 ballance.

  4. - the Sixth Sense is currently working fine (SS: some player was complaining that it doesn’t light up properly)

    That question doesn’t surprise me had a game yesterday where according to Sixth i hadnt been spotted, but i was shot six times.

  5. Here is a post from FTR (24 Dec 2013): “M26E4 Super Pershing will be buffed, but not in the next patch”

    Here is a post from today’s FTR: there are no plans to buff Super Pershing

    Conclusion: Don’t expect any buffs/nerfs from WG unless they are stated in the “official Patch Notes”

    Super Pershing is my only Tier 8 Premium tank, can’t afford another one because at 50-55 USD a piece, it costs me 3000 INR. That is 3 day’s salary for me (yes I am very poor).

    • Be glad – others dont even have one and blame gold shooters, that they cant afford gold to shoot back :D

    • Are you serious? You earn 30,000 bucks a month and you “can’t” afford to buy premium tanks? So you make 500 dollars a month on an average and you still can’t piece together couple of bucks. Right…

      No offense intended to you personally but I make almost half of what you do right now and after paying for food and utilities I can still muster up enough savings in three months or so to afford a premium vehicle. Maybe you have a lot of financial responsibilities or maybe you are just frugal. But either way at that salary mark buying a premium tank is definitely possible. After all you don’t buy those things monthly like one does in case of premium account time.

      Once again no judgement intended whatsoever. I apologize if you feel that it came out that way. I assure you that wasn’t my intention. Just making a calculated analysis.

      PS: I live in India as well so I know all this first hand. Please don’t think I pulled this theory out of Google’s ass. Also a proud owner of a KV-5[Sold] and Lowe[Present].

      • Not related to the game so don’t bother to read if you don’t want to.

        If you are still here then go ahead:

        Lets just put it like this; I am cheap, I don’t think INR 30000 is anything but medocre salary especially for someone who cracked the written exam of one of the most difficult exams in the country (CAT). Life is shit at the moment, I can’t return home to my parents….

        I have to switch jobs quickly now so that I can make at least 75000 per month within the next 2-3 years and get things straight.

        • Yes I am here and yea as I thought, you are frugal. In that case, to each, his own. Good luck with your goals.

    • for such bad armor it DOES need A LOT of mobility buff, nothing else. This thing moves slower than a KV-1, but is penned by every shot of an experienced player.
      I don’t want pershing mobility, but maybe like a KV-1S or lil’ bit worse than a FV4202

      • That thing has like 5 tonnes more than it originally had thanks to that added plates. Of course it’s mobility will suck.

        And as far as getting shot in the commander’s hatch goes, don’t stand still and face your enemies.

        • Commander’s hatch is not the problem any more, the problem is getting penned in the upper half of the upper front plate and the entire lower front plate by any gun that manages more than 190 pen.

          One has to play hull down now to be of any use other than that, Tigers and T29s pen you, every tier 8 pens you efforlessly, tier 9s laugh at you.

          Buff is needed to put the tank back to the way it was.

          My WR dropped 5% (from 58% to the current 53% in 1200+ matches) post the armor nerf

  6. Very interresting, about the MTLS..
    But we just want to know how to get it :P
