14.9.2014

- neither Havok nor massive rebalance of vehicles was promised for 9.3
- the “ground hole” on Ruinberg map was fixed in 9.3
- in 9.3, Chaffee XP compersation will not be awarded as free XP (it will be tied to the Chaffee)
- destroyed transmission and engine will not count towards “assist damage” bonus (as when you destroy the tracks)
- it’s possible that IS-7 will have the pintle-mounted machinegun returned, but it’s not certain
- apparently, account transfers are not that difficult to implement, but permanent transfer options were never really discussed

  1. “- it’s possible that IS-7 will have the pintle-mounted machinegun returned, but it’s not certain”
    Can’t people just ignore it? It’s not usable anyway… Can’t they wait a year or two (or seven knowing WG) for customisation options? Or at least ask for it? That MG was ugly anyway… Good riddance…

    “- destroyed transmission and engine will not count towards “assist damage” bonus (as when you destroy the tracks)”
    Why not? If we damage (or destroy them) the tank is immobile, just like with tracks… So why not? Because reasons i believe… -.-

    • because you cant destroy these modules on purpose all the times. its all about RNG while shooting a track damages it always.

      • You can still miss… Or try to hit their side… And damage their tracks and deal 0dmg… Aiming has RNG as well.
        Or you can deliberately aim at their engine or transmission. Lots of people killed thousands or milions E-100′s, 75′s and 50′s, Tigers I and II’s, Panther’s and other tanks that way… By burning them. You can hit their transmission or engine on purpose. You simply need more luck with RNG…

        • Milions of those tanks? If you would kill 10 tanks per battle you would still need to play 100 000 battles so pls don’t throw numbers out of your ass but I got your point

  2. “- it’s possible that IS-7 will have the pintle-mounted machinegun returned, but it’s not certain”

    NOOOOOOOO

    • Then I’ll save the current version from the test NOW before they’ll return that fugly TV antenna.

      • While I hate the current look, the IS7 looks ….bald…without that mg

        I’m so used to seeing that mg creep up on me like a jolly roger on a pirate ship, that not seeing it feels wrong.

  3. - apparently, account transfers are not that difficult to implement, but permanent transfer options were never really discussed

    ffs just do it WG, I want to move to EU.

  4. i’m sooo much pissed with RNG, as it is part of “winrate 48%” mechanism …

    22 fired, 15 hit, 10 penetrations.
    each shot on me – something broken – crew, module.

    fuck fuck fuck

    (yes, i did aim until circle was fully zoomed.. )

      • Sounds like my typical KV-2 game…oneshot a StuG, bust its tracks. 100 damage roll on a T-150, his commander is the only one left alive, engine busted, tracks busted, gun busted, ammo rack busted, etc…

        • it’s not just this.

          part of balance mechanics would be:

          1. your RNG rolls
          2. enemy RNG rolls

          +-25% is 50% total … that is waaaaay to big….
          i would much more support weakspots and various dmg .. rather then 50% chance of not scoring at all.

    • I have the same problem…

      I play STA-1 : one hit from a T21 = 2 dead crew member. Second hit, ammo rack down.
      I shoot a STA-1 with HESH on the UFP: damaged tracks.

      WAT?
      No, RNG you are just trolling me.
      And this happens almost every game. I shoot people right in the ammo rack and crew positions, and at best I destroy their radio.
      Such critical hit! very tank crippled! Much devastation! Wow!

  5. - in 9.3, Chaffee XP compersation will not be awarded as free XP (it will be tied to the Chaffee)

    it will be another useless XP bind on tank? And anybody know How about xp compersation m5 to Chaffe?

    • It should all be free XP.
      My Chaffee is completely unlocked. That will leave 15000+ XP on it after I get the T37.
      Why should I have to spend gold to use it?
      There should be xp compensation from the M5 to the Chaffee as free XP, but there is not…

  6. Double standards of the West:
    Look what a difference is between referendum in Scotland and the events in the South-East of Ukraine!

    Nobody in London screams: “Slaughter the scots!” Nobody calls to surround them with the barbed wire! Everybody, lead by the prime-Minister, came to speak… to persuade.

    And even if Scotland separates, everything will be peaceful, without killing the “separatists”.

    There are no such wicked people who build their well welfare on the blood.
    There are no fascist fans of Bandera, and the EU and the USA are shy.
    Scotland has no interests and profits for the USA.
    There is no need to build the NATO bases and there is no shale gas pipe.
    And the stupid fans are absent there too!

  7. There is something in the new patch i don’t like and i will be vocal about it: light tanks MM.
    Putting new LT lines and instead of rebalancing them, introducing more tanks with “scout” MM? This is BS – since they rebalanced arty long time ago and reduced MM for some, they should postpone all LTs now, apart RU251 and rebalance them for normal 2tier MM, apart 8tiers – which are only ones that have reason to get wider MM as line-enders. And rebalance other “scouts” too, so they get normal MM too.

  8. - neither Havok nor massive rebalance of vehicles was promised for 9.3

    Yeah, Havok was originally promised for 9.0, about a half year ago. Tell me more about how players shouldn’t whine about it.

  9. for the chaffee do you have to have it in your garage to get the xp? or will you get the xp on it if you sold it?

  10. ” neither Havok nor massive rebalance of vehicles was promised for 9.3″
    nope, havok was promised for 9.0, but wg is full of inepts and they work hard to ruin the game one patch at the time, starting with tier 10 meds

  11. I need advice on the M5 conversion to Chaffee.

    I have 50K on the M5. It sounds like I should unlock the Chaffee but not buy it. After 9.3 is released then buy it much cheaper and WG will refund back to me around 43K of XP so I can buy the T37 for 28K and then convert roughly 15K for free XP.

    Does this make sense?

    • Thats what I did – WG didn’t want to do anything at first, then caved into to massive Chaffee outrage but still doesn’t want to think about the M5 people. Hurry up and buy the Chaffee m8 – Then when you get the chaffee compensation unlock modules and the next tier 6 scout.
      Maybe wait for official patch notes, but this is what I did…

      • I have found a rumor (don’t know where) that people will get xp compensation for researched T54, because research trough LT line will be few tens thousands xp cheaper. Can someone confirm/deny it? I will try it (3K XP left), but I think it’s bullshit.

    • yes unlock the chaffee now, if you leave it until after you will still have all the xp on the m5 and will only be able to unlock the new chaffee for 12k (ish) leaving all the xp on your m5, if you unlock the chaffee now (as you said) the ferunded xp will go on the chaffee letting you unlock the next tank.

  12. neither Havok nor massive rebalance of vehicles was promised for 9.3
    yes that was promised for 9.2

    • 9.0 actually.

      but hey, it’s not like WG has *ever* fucked us raw with broken promises… i mean… they promised MT in 0.7.0 with french line, where is it now?… “far future” FUCK YOU WG FUCKS
      horns where also promised on that patch….

      how long where the actual physics delayed?, a TON…
      and new havok…. they keep stretching and stretching..

      HD tanks?, total fail, it failed so fucking hard that they had to lower texture quality 50% to stop the game from going 10fps on high end hardware.

      multicore?, “will come” ever since game was in beta…., fucking fuck you wg, fuck you to hell

  13. - neither Havok nor massive rebalance of vehicles was promised for 9.3

    HaHa…
    World of Tanks developers should keep their fat mouths shut! They talk and talk about adding things to the game each patch and when the patch comes out, nothing is changed. I get the feeling that WOT development is run by a bunch of monkeys that sit around tossing poop at each other all day long.
    Looks like it’s time for me to start looking for a new game tanks is getting stale.
