WoT Tank Viewer is Back

Hello everyone,

as you probably know, some time ago, the WoT Tank Viewer, one of the oldest and best tank softwares, allowing you to view WoT models and such was discontinued. Personally, I thought it was a terrible shame, because I used it extensively for model comparisons. Well, I have good news for you – its author, Rextimmy, is back.

You can follow the WoT Tank Viewer in this thread – and you can download the newest version from its official website.

The newest version (1.0.17) can view the HD models, a feature incredibly useful for the future tank updates. You can download it for free on the official website.

T-62A “Sport”

Hello everyone,

the “football mode” for the duration of the FIFA World Cup has been confirmed and in 9.1 test, a vehicle was added, that will be used for this mode. It’s T-62A “Sport” and here are its characteristics.

It looks like the classic T-62A, so don’t expect any wild paintjobs (might come later)

There are however significant differences. For one, it’s a tier 1 vehicle and it has 999 armor. For all intents and purposes, it’s indestructible. Forward speed has been increased from 50 to 60 km/h and the engine has 1500hp. The gun is a special SPORT version of the U-8TS firing only HE shells, so I am pretty sure shooting one another won’t be a part of the game.

My guess? Something like players pushing a Leichttraktor or something around to get it between the goalposts.

9.1 Undocumented Changes – Panzer III

This info comes from Nushuk’s thread on EU forums – thank you, Nushuk (9.1 pictures by US player Burok)

Hello everyone,

as might or might not remember, in 9.0, Panzer III got screwed up. Specifically, the L/60 top turret mantlet lost its spaced armor part. More on that here. It seems that in 9.1, this issue was again fixed.

This is the top configuration of Panzer III in 9.0:

A small mistake correction, yesterday I didn’t pay attention and mistook AMX50B elevation for depression. Elevation – +11 degrees in game, +14 in real life, Storm said he’d mention it to balance guys.

- Storm confirms that pre-9.1 average damage done won’t count towards the kill marks introduced in 9.1
- you’ll have to play at least 100+ battles to get a kill mark
- Storm doesn’t like comic book movies, he only liked Nolan’s Batman
- T40 camo factor after shooting was seriously overbuffed (in 9.0, it could be detected at 350 meters, in 9.1, it will be detected at 378m when shooting. To compare – Borsig in 9.0 – 354m, in 9.1 – 364m)
- Storm confirms there will not be an option to pick two gun soundset (the game client would get too big and too much testing would be required)

Sounds in 9.1

Hello everyone,

you’ve read about it, but you haven’t heard it – the 9.1 test new gun sounds. Unless you watched some other video. Or played the test. Nevermind. Anyway, MisterCroo made a video with these sounds – also, pay attention to the engine exhaust smoke (new!) and the explosions.
