9.3 Overview Video

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

here’s the usual Wargaming patch introduction video. For now, unfortunately, only in Russian. What you can do is turn automatic subtitles on and then have them translated to English. Not too good, but at least it will give you an overview of what they mention. As far as I can tell, there is nothing really surprising in the video.

 

 

Inside:

- new light tanks, reworked Murovanka, vehicle rebalance, new Stronghold functions
- LTTB: “much like the legendary T-50-2, same high speed and maneuverability”, but with added firepower, “the gameplay feeling is practically the same as the earlier T-50-2″
- T-54 Light: well-armored and armed light tank, can withstand hits from tanks of its tier
- US light tanks: good mobility and viewrange, guns are fast aiming and firing fast
- M41 has an autoloader for 10 shells, it can destroy in 20 seconds most of tier 7′s and many 8′s, but it is light, low hitpoints, has to be careful in picking targets
- T49 can mount a 152mm gun – base shell is HE, it makes a lot of damage but playing with it is complicated due to low ROF, long aimtime and low accuracy, 90mm gun is for players who like the fire support role
- RU251 is one of the fastest tanks in the game with a good gun, it’s possible to play it as a mobile sniper
- KV-1S split (KV-85 on tier 6), KV-85 gets to keep the favourite 122mm gun
- new HD models
- rework of Murovanka
- new Stronghold functions (“Chancellery”, mercenaries)
- certain map objects now explode (fuel tanks, cars)
- explosion effect was reworked
- new punishments for leavers and AFKers
- new ricochet system
- transmission/engine split
- if a tank drowns while being detracked (forced drowning), it will count as a kill for the person that caused the detrack

  2. Are stongholds going up to level 10 now? With the assault and defending or did that get pushed back?

  5. LTTB = Badass T-50-2. If you played Borderlands :D

    And boy, you’re out of luck – got FV4202 and will begin to get T49. Prepare. Your. Repair/medkits!

          • no body really think but t6-7 german light gets biggest benefit from this lights. because both are rammmachine and 105mm really effetive scout killer.
            it will relly funy grind for me.

              • lol whoras. Your idea totaly wrong. main problem is hitting fastmoving object with t49. Reload is really fucking slow. if you miss you dead. T49 is fucking ambusher. They are really weak againts aufpanter ram+2He shot enough for death t49. T49 not really nible tank. Plus gun spread on moving really horrible. t49 is stalker. t49 major target vk4502p type really slow and weak sides armored tanks…
                t49 not a real gem. walker bulldog is far better as t7. real t8 light tank is ru251.

                • If I can take a KV-2 and hunt down tier8 tanks, a 70km/h LT can do the same.
                  Ambush?
                  You better be on the lookout, T49 is bringing the ambush to you >:|

      • I agree AFLPanzer will win vs T49 oneonone most times.

        AFLPanzer just as maneuverable, good DPM, good armor and good HP.
        T49 troll gun that RARELY pens for full damage and you have to be very close to hit ANY target (even a house). Most shots splash for 300 which is fairly very weak alpha for every 20 seconds.

        In a oneonone engagement with AFLPanzer its very unlikely T49 will pen for full damage and only 300 or so every 20 seconds. AFLPanzer has pretty good DPM and will pen 90% of shots on T49 and can RAM it with impunity and most time would take out a T49 oneonone fairly easily. Both tanks are mediocre at best.

  6. I think they buffed the T-54LT’s speed too much. Sure, it was slow at 58kmh, but it will be a killer on the live server at 68 kmh. Type 59 2.0.

    • It will probably only potentially do really well in Teambattles on Citymaps.

      Other places I doubt it with that 175 1d1ot gun since it’s accuracy negates the potential damage in open maps. Maybe it will replace the T-44 in teambattles, too bad the T-44 is not played in teambattles all that much to say the least. 100HP less than the T-44 while being better in every other way other than accuracy is however good… ( too bad it only sees tier 9-10 normally )

  10. -new punishments for leavers and AFKers

    So if I die say 5 minutes into a battle and go to garage to start the next game, will that be categorized as a leaver, and thus be penalized?

    • WG refrains from launching all on the same day to ensure there’s no bugs with the patching process to each server cluster and their respective communities

      • RU first, EU a day or two later and then NA a couple days to a WEEK later. They normally wait for bugs and then include micro-patch when it hits NA if needed after feedback from RU and EU.

  12. “90mm gun is for players who like the fire support role”

    The 90mm on the T49 is for people who want to have a useful tank but can also afford gold ammo to spam with it. Because the HESH default ammo is absolutely 100% worthless as fuck.

    • “90mm gun is for players who like being an absolute idiot and dosen’t understand the role of having fun”
      Fixed :)

      • I consider dealing consistent damage and actually having an effect on the outcome of the game “fun”.

        • The 90MM gun is utter trash. It only has 100 PEN and 300 Alpha, but you will RARELY pen anything with 100 PEN HE and UR lucky to splash for 50. This gun is really garbage.

        • I consider having a huge boomstick on a zippy LT much more fun than having a gold dependent 90mm derp gun =D

          “Oh hai thar mister waffletoaster, would you like some candy? >:3 “

          • If it could actually pen anything and do consistent damage, it might be viable for more than a gimmick setup.

            But at tier 10, where the T49 will spend most of it’s time, 150 penetration is not much. Then add to the fact that most tier 10 tanks have spaced armor everywhere in one form or another and HEAT becomes practically worthless. Especially HEAT with 150 penetration…

            The T49 had a very nice 173-pen 90mm gun and Wargaming decided to remove it. They want you to either use the gimmick setup (152mm) or spam gold with the semi-smoothbore.

            Neither option is acceptable to me. Therefore I will not be grinding out the tank.

  14. “- RU251 is one of the fastest tanks in the game with a good gun, it’s possible to play it as a mobile sniper”

    Oh boy, this reminds me of a certain tier 6 TD.

    Wonder how long before it’s determined to be overpowered ad WG, missing the point as always, nerfs its mobility into the ground.

    • It only has 250 alpha so it hits like a mosquito and with 190 pen it can’t PEN tier 10′s consistently which is what it’s usual MM should be like. Plus, on current maps where sniping is very hard, it will struggle for consistent damage and it has no armor and is easily killed when spotted so I doubt it will ever be considered overpowered.

      The hellcat has strong pen and HUGE alpha for tier 6. Hellcat has same Alpha at tier 6 that RU has at tier 8 and only 30 less pen. Speed, stealth, gun depression, big pen and huge alpha is what made Hellcat OP and RU lacks the most important last two.

      • 240 alpha is not “huge” at tier 6. Especially when you have Russians running around with 390 alpha…

        Comparing TDs to TDs, Russia has almost 3 times the alpha at tier 8. So I don’t know where you’re getting the “HELLCAT HAS SAME ALPHA AT TIER 6!!!”

  17. The whole patch sucks nothing interests me.

    Roll on 9.4 and the new tier 8 premiums.

  19. Does anyone know anything known about upcoming motion physics…

    What can we expect now ?
    I would love to se some realistic movement (at least optional quick turns… like double press left or right to make a quick turn…. it would be easy to get used to it and a cool feature)

  20. Any1 knows how they solve KV-1S split. You need it in garage to get both new tanks and garage slot?

    • I don’t think they are handing out a free tank this time. If you have the KV-1S it’ll be replaced with the KV-85.

  21. Ummmm… So they removed T-50-2 for being op (and unhistorical of course).
    And now they basically implement a buffed version of it in the game? Wtf…
