Check out this interesting interview with S.Zaloga (well, apart from that Fury part anyway), where he explains you why quoting Death Traps is a pretty bad idea.

Also, an interesting article about abandoned Soviet tanks on an island near Japan…

And finally, an interesting article about how the Finnish blew up a marauding KV-2… without any AT weapons.

- companies will not be reworked to 7/42 format
- developers are currently discussing whether to make girl crew voiceover (SS: yes, before they said they would, apparently not as clear now)
- Storm states that it’s unclear as to what to do with the T95/T96 and other US medium tanks. New US medium branch is not planned for 2015.
- Storm actuall asked the people responsible for the Stronghold situation. They know about the issue with large clans dominating the mode. There will be some fixes to remedy the situation.
- Storm confirms that there will be a change in shot distribution within aim circle. It will not be a simple sigma change, but a manually configured special variant, with a table showing “how much of what is supposed to fly where”, this table will apply to all the vehicles in the game. The reason for this is that it’s beneficial server load-wise.
- real life shell distribution from real firing tests is not viable for gameplay, that’s why WG has to have their own


- it’s “completely possible” the Japanese heavy branch will come this year
- there will also be a Japanese premium heavy tank
- Storm states that increasing the render range is not that easy – in order to do that, you’d have to transmit more data via packets and the packet size has to remain the same, so the transfer accuracy will not be as high with the same amount of data. The reduction of the accuracy would in turn bring strange behavior of tanks on long distances (jumps, teleports, sudden turns etc.)
- Q: “If you remove the company mode, what will the clans do for training?” A: “Play team battles for example.”
- it’s not clear whether the “6th sense as radioman’s skill” overhaul will come this year
- AMX-13/75 will be buffed in 0.9.7
- Storm stated that if they returned the confrontation mode and made it disabled by default, there would be too long queues (noone would play it)
- Storm agrees that “victory” should be a requirement for all IM missions (SS: as in to suppress anti-team tactics)
- new premium tanks will NOT have limited MM at all. Only in very extreme cases. When asked for proper explanation of this, Storm refused, saying only: “I am not sure I can express those reasons. Let me put it this way: for a longer existence of the project, this variant is more correct.” He later adds that it’s a really complicated matter and that they have an idea how to do this correctly.
- Storm states that while the details have to be discussed with map makers, it is a general rule that maps with hills on their edges and with lowered center (“bowls”) do not play well
- a player said that Sacred Valley is well playable – Storm replied that “many think otherwise”
- for now, there is no plan to add alternative IM’s to the platoon ones for single players
- regarding “thanking” players in battle (positive feedback), Storm stated that once, there was a plan to add an option to “thank” good players by sharing a portion of your XP and credits with them. Currently, there’s no decision on that.
- FV215b (120) will be removed from the game because it’s a fake, it will be replace by a Chieftain
- Hitlerpanther will appear in the ingame shop for gold as well and this is how it will be with all premium tanks: first in premium magazine, than in the ingame shop
- training rooms for a single player will not be implemented, the reason is server performance – it’s expensive resource-wise to have rooms for only one player
- a regular TOG branch (second British heavy branch) will definitely not come in 2015
- Waffenträger E-100 will be replaced. Its replacement will not have an autoloader and it will be based on historical project (SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives)
- Waffenträger auf PzIV will not be changed. For now.
- Storm will investigate whether VK3001P should be buffed
- animated parts of tanks (shell ejections) will be discussed after all tanks are reworked to HD
- Storm states that improved render will be optimized further and further until it reaches the “old” render in performance. After that, it’s possible that the old render will be removed altogether
- it was discussed a long time ago not to allow players to shoot their own teammates at all – this idea was rejected
- Q: “Why are there no credit/XP rewards for epic medals, such as Radley Walters?” A: “There are rewards for individual missions.”
- currently, there are no “totally bad” maps in the game – there are problematic maps, that will be reworked. If the rework does not fulfill its purpose, they will be completely removed the way it was done for example with Severogorsk
- it’s possible that perk rebalance will not appear in 2015
- the amount of crew XP needed to train skills and perks will not be reduced
- regarding the artillery appearing on the top of the team (as its top tank), Storm states that “nothing can be done with that, for now”
- Aufklärungspanzer Panther will not become a premium vehicle
- a player pointed out that the percentual difference between hitpoints of heavies and mediums is much higher on mid tiers than on tier ten for example. Storm replied that it’s inconclusive and that they are thinking about it.
- Storm confirms that 9.5 brought some client crashes. WG is working on that. But also adds that majority of the reports for crashes was caused by mods.
- Havok will come in “far future” (not anytime soon)
- no plans to change tank colours
- there are no plans to ban (disable) noobmeter (XVM)
- if you see a 45 percent winrate player with 250 WN8 on an IS-3, it does not automatically mean he’s a bot. It can very well be a bad player. Storm states that there are players with even worse results and they are playing in person, it was checked.
- the girl crew special perk “sisterhood of steal” counts as 0 perk, which means that the next (second) perk the girl gets will train as fast as 1st perk of a male crewmember
- there will be various events in the future, but the “White Tiger” event will not repeat
- content introduction does have limits – it’s not possible to introduce multi-gigabyte patches every week
- during the WT E-100 replacement, there will not be any “compensation”, the tank will simply switch
- for now, converting XP to crew XP is not planned
- the render range square to circle switch will not influence the frequency of vehicle data transfer from server
- “additional ammo” consumable/equipment is not planned
- gold ammo hardcap is not planned
- Prokhorovka is currently bugged – some of the bushes provide no camouflage whatsoever. This will be fixed in 9.6
- statistics do not confirm that platoons end up on the bottom of the team more than they should
- a player proposed that arty should lose all shell types save for HE ones. This will not happen.
- no plans to purge 0-100 battle accounts that haven’t played for years, for now
- new sounds, new vegetation render, DirectX11 support ETA? “I will not make any prognosis for now”
- after HD rework, AMX-50B height stays the way it is
- it’s possible that ALL the premium tanks, that have limited MM will soon be removed from sales. Storm admits that it’s possible that this will create a difference between old players with limited MM vehicles and new players, stuck with full MM vehicles and give the first group an advantage. He adds that “it’s hard to tell”
- HE penetration mechanism will not be changed
- IM reward tanks “do not have any advantages save for their uniqueness”, apart from being able to use other crews without penalties
- “flickering bushes” bug was partially fixed in 9.6
- “twitching” of tanks in replays is fixed in 9.6
- SU-122-54 will not be buffed anytime soon
- it’s possible Chinese 122mm guns have incorrect length, it will be investigated
- test will come “soon”
- new physics test might come in February
- one of the scenarios for Havok (that was shifted to “far future”, see previous post) is that the entire destructable building part will be scrapped and it will be only used for the realistic behavior of “junk” on tanks (like, shovels flying off)
- 25 percent penetration RNG will not be reduced
- Storm confirms that guns “significantly standing out in penetration” will have their penetration nerfed in near future

  1. Jesus Christ another doozy.

    “- Storm states that it’s unclear as to what to do with the T95/T96 and other US medium tanks. New US medium branch is not planned for 2015.”

    Time for moar PREMIUMS AND REWARDS!
    ….I’m crying now.

    • Unclear what to do? Fucking put them into a fucking tank line. They could do it for the 2nd Soviet medium line PLUS have an extra Tier X branch off from the T-54. How fucking hard is it to make a new US medium line in the same manner.

      Fucking idiots in charge. First the M60 reward tanks which makes implementation of the M60A1 and even A2 gone and then there is this shit.

      • I know, this news is particularly disappointing.

        However, he didn’t say the current US medium branch wouldn’t be reworked in place of adding a the new one. Or that these tanks might be added onto the recent LT expansion in the US tree currently ending with the T49.

        Though, I’m interested, how does the M60 reward tank make implementation of a tier 10 M60A1 (which I’m all for) gone? Because the M60 reward tank is an modeled on the early production variant, not the one that entered mass production and saw service.

          • Yeah, the M60A1 was manufactured with a better (or just different?) turret. But it did have the same 105 mm M68 gun currently (and accurately) mounted on the M48 and M60 reward tank.

            So the M60A1 (if implemented) would have the same firepower.

    • I’m hoping this means that instead Wargaming intends to rework the current medium branch (though I would like to see a second med branch).

      The T20 in its elite configuration never existed and the M46 is, historically, just an M26 with a better engine (and expanded hull to fit it).

      I recommend (re)moving the T20 and pushing all current tanks in the line from tier 7 and up down one tier, with balancing to compensate for this change.

      So starting at tier 7: M26/46 (removing the unhistorical 90 mm) => M47 patton => M48 patton (validating the grind to the 105 mm) => M60A1 as the new tier 10.

        • The long 90 mm? There was one they put on the SP and the M46 got a slightly different 90 mm the M3A1. But I haven’t come across evidence that Pershing tanks where ever equipped with a long 90 mm aside from the SP variants.

          • there were earlier designs of the super pershing (1st steps) which was just a normal pershing with the long barrel 90mm. i haven’t seen any photos of them though.

            “The 90-mm M3 gun of the Pershing was similar to the German 88 mm KwK 36 used on the Tiger I. In an effort to match the firepower of the Tiger II’s more powerful 88 mm KwK43, the T15E1 90 mm gun was developed and mounted in a T26E1 in January 1945. This tank was designated T26E1-1.”

            http://panzerserra.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/t26e1-later-t26e4-super-pershing.html

      • btw, you can’t remove the T20 from that line because it was… 1. a real tank. 2. it actually had a dummy made of it. and 3. it was the start of the m26 pershing.

        “The M26 was the culmination of a series of tank prototypes that began with the T20 in 1942 and represented a significant design departure from the previous line of U.S. Army tanks that had ended with the M4 Sherman;”

        • The removal/ movement of the T20 was just a suggestion to make room for more historically prominent tanks that I feel should be in the game. Hell, if Wargaming can keep the T20 AND add tanks like the M47 and M60A1 Patton, all the better.

          The point I’m trying to make is I don’t like how Wargaming will invent tanks or modules of tanks (which is fine when no real alternative exists’) when there where others from the same period that did actually see service.

          And the tanks that did actually see combat/ service IRL are given these bizarre or obscure upgrades to make them competitive with tanks of the same tier. It feels like unnecessary compensation; counter intuitive to the theme of the game.

  2. “SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives”

    Waffentrager ausf. Tiger?

  3. >SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives

    Cut it out and tell us already, ya tease.

      • the only other switchs which come to mind for me are the e-50 being switched for the turbopanther and if thats coming i need to start grinding my e-50 FAST because i like having armour in the armoured medium line i dont really want to drive a fast panther with next to no armour. then theres the vk 4502b switch for the maus prototype but i dont feel like that will be soon although i could be wrong. then theres the off chance that the american heavies could be made more historical because im pretty sure i remember seeing the chieftain write about something like that. those are all of the switchs i can recall.

        also SS will you write an article on the swtichs when they are announced or before the announcement? because my curiosity is killing me and also about the WT line replacement i dont know why but i have suspicion that it may involve the Pz 3. it just seems like a reasonable choice to me for something more mobile and stealthy than the previous tank either that or they will use gw tiger p with a tds cannon.

        • Your sentence contains 26 characters. Dividing the second digit of the number by the first (6/2) gives us 3. Half Life 3 confirmed!

        • 15 cm Kw.K. Entwicklung (e) 25 auf A

          its gonna be an E 25, with the 15cm :P
          that would be an awesome April fools joke.

      • The people who have the FV4202 and the waffle, (like me) will get 1 tank and it shall be named the mega Loltractor action X!

  4. - Waffenträger E-100 will be replaced. Its replacement will not have an autoloader and it will be based on historical project (SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives)

    oooOOOOooOOOOoooo………

    ” Storm confirms that guns “significantly standing out in penetration” will have their penetration nerfed in near future”

    Nerf the 330 pen HEAT shells on the T-54 and watch the tears flow.

    • I like how you aren’t outraged by the fact they are replacing it with a TD without an autoloader.

      We can all agree the Waffle is a horrible yet potentially gamebreaking tank. But adding a TD to replace it with NO resemblance of it at all is a borderline scam.

      All the people who grinded through the line did it for the autoloader action.
      I mean the FV4202 being replaced with the action X while i dont agree with removing content already added, is atleast a tank that is similar to the FV. Its teh same concept.

      This is completely different. A TD with an autoloader is completely different from one with, they are played waay different. The Waffel is played in a totally different way than any other TD in the game.

      This is basicly the same as WG replacing the E-100 with a light tank. You grinded the e-100 to get a tank with a punchy gun and amazing armor, now we are going replace it with a tank that is nothing like it.

      Why are you people just silently accepting this? Sure the tank they add might be good, but it will be nothing like the tank any of us grinded for.

      Imagine ordering something on the web and getting something completely different, this is basicly whats happening.

      Sure it needed to be removed. But fking add something that has an autoloader. Thats kinda what people saw in the waffel to begin with. Jesus you people are fking sheep.

      • I totally agree, but there is nothing I can do but to accept it, they are WG so they won’t change there mind. :/
        I personally grinded that line to get 6 shot super auto loader cannon on E-100 chasis, it got nerfed and I wasn’t that mad since it was still unique, but now that they are removing the auto loader feature from the line saddens me, I hope that it will still be very unique, otherwise its totally a scam. (It already is)

  5. Storm states that while the details have to be discussed with map makers, it is a general rule that maps with hills on their edges and with lowered center (“bowls”) do not play well

    So why the fuck did they add Mittengard???

    • Fur the lulz.
      Its very laggy map :D All autocannons just shoot-out like hell – its like TF2 match – quick as hell.

      • I had TWO battles on Mittengrad where i do Top Gun with SU-26 – without moving an inch…

    • Mittengrad needs to be REMOVED.!! Tossed to the Trash can and burned…

      Even a German player I platooned with told me that. He said that is the most stupid map idea that they have ever come up with.. They should Burn atleast 35% of the Maps in this game no questions asked…

      :D

  6. “Storm states that increasing the render range is not that easy – in order to do that, you’d have to transmit more data via packets and the packet size has to remain the same, so the transfer accuracy will not be as high with the same amount of data.

    Yea like they, don’t jump, suddenly do 360 no scopes now.

    flickering bushes I still has them

    “new sounds, new vegetation render, DirectX11 support ETA? “I will not make any prognosis for now” LOOOL DX11 sure, this game can’t even run on dx9 like it should.

    “additional ammo” consumable/equipment is not planned” -Why consumable ? we could refill ammo at base’s

    “if you see a 45 percent winrate player with 250 WN8 on an IS-3, it does not automatically mean he’s a bot. It can very well be a bad player. Storm states that there are players with even worse results and they are playing in person, it was checked.” – Seems legit, totally not a bot. Especially when he has like 10-15k of battles. He just sucks so hard, thats all.

    ” it’s not clear whether the “6th sense as radioman’s skill” overhaul will come this year”
    It requires too hard and stronk programming to do that.

  7. - FV215b (120) will be removed from the game because it’s a fake, it will be replace by a Chieftain

    Yeah been reading about this for 2 years now… No ETA I guess

  8. So SS knows the new german TD…. I only want to know what is going to happen with my WT E-100 crew. Is it going to be retrained? What happen if the new TD has less crew members?

    • KV-1S had more crew than KV-85. The spare Radio Operator was moved to Barracks.

      MT-25 had more crew than T-50-2. People got a free 100% Radio Operator.

        • It remained trained for KV-1S. And since the only thing I see drop on a hightier tank would be the second Loader, it will probably stay trained for whatever the new tier 10 is so you can reassign him to another tank.
          Even if a crew member gets reassigned for another tank, it will be a German TD.

          Edit: Oh, I just noticed the Waffle has a Radio Operator in addition to 2nd Loader. Oh well, there are German TDs with Radio Operators… a few.

    • cmon….. no compensation?
      At least they should give us free crew retraining.
      You know the new one might need ‘camo’.
      eh?

  9. “- it’s possible that ALL the premium tanks, that have limited MM will soon be removed from sales. Storm admits that it’s possible that this will create a difference between old players with limited MM vehicles and new players, stuck with full MM vehicles and give the first group an advantage. He adds that “it’s hard to tell””

    …erm, holy shit?

    • .Make normal tier 8 better life though.
      and the premium tanks still have their own premium benefits – low repair, crew free, bla bla bla, just not that easy roll stomp anymore.

      • Easy roflstomp? Are we playing the same game? Most tier 8 premiums are not roflstomp unless you take a healthy amount of APCR/HEAT with you.

        But that was not my point. My shock came from the fact that if they removed all premiums with limited MM… how many premium tanks would be left? And what is going to replace them?
        They won’t have anything left to sell and they won’t find much new projects… let alone ones they can implement without limited MM… since premium tanks are always implemented ‘historically’ and without upgrades (unless the tank was an upgrade project, but even then) they tend to have good armour and bad guns compared to normal tanks that get upgraded guns but end up having relatively lowish armour because of that.

        The new ‘IS-5′ premium tank will have the 122mm gun. Firepower-wise, it belongs on tier 7 with IS-1/2 and KV-3. Armour-wise… fuck no, it’s the IS-8 prototype. Doesn’t belong on tier 7 at all.
        And therein lies the problem with premium tanks… they have shitty firepower but you can’t downtier them because of armour. WG would need to give them horrendously bad soft stats to make up for all that armour.

        • They could give them apcr as standard ammo and heat as premium then balance the APCR to around 209~ penetration since there were plenty of different ”APCR” shells that the D-25T could fire during it’s service life. Of course the gun handling would still be utter trash so it would likely need a little more penetration but the armour is so good that they should be able to do fine with 209, especially if there aren’t any E75 up against them.

          Of course they could go full retard and give it the same kind of stats as the T34 american heavy…. ( Very Long reload, Great Penetration )

    • Löwe lost its MM advantage ages ago. Why didn’t they apply this rule to it (leaving it as was and just removing it from the store)?

      Truth is: They fuck over their paying customers one way or another, time and again.

  10. - AMX-13/75 will be buffed in 0.9.7
    And why not in 9.6 plz??? explain wtf
    and now word on amx 12t….

      • Let’s dream :
        A proper gun (or better yet, limited MM) for the AMX-40.
        Real life pen values and HP buff for the B1-bis. That way it will crush those puny Mathildas, as it should.

        Something, dunno what yet, for the SAu-40. I have no idea. Buff the armor? It’s based on the Somua, it should be heavily armored, no?
        Switch the ARL V39 to tier 5, change its guns.
        Buff the bathtub and switch it to tier 6.

        Buff the AMX 13 75
        Buff the AMX M4. It used to be almost as good as the Tiger. Now that both Tigers have been buffed, it’s probably the worst tier 7 heavy, by far. Same applies to the 50 120, who’s got nothing going for himself.

        • Buff the SAu-40 YES !! I actually like playing this tank…. Yes, it needs an armor buff, and historically it needs an armor buff.

          And Buff the FOCH 155 back some, Please…. If your going to remove the Waffentragger E100, then give us our FOCH 155 back….

          they Rekt’d the FOCH 155 in that last Nerf into being Useless…

          • No. All of that is dumb. I played the sau 40 and it was a great tank. It has an amazing gun and is great for sniping. The foch 155 is still amazing, stop bitching. The 50 120 has very similar gun stats to the t54e1 with better mobility and alpha. Amx m4 could use a gun handling buff. The b1 is fine, i really enjoyed it. Arl v39 is terrible, ill give it that. As for the 1375, it should be more accurate, better aiming and with better dispersion, like 57 heavy vs 50b. Better gun handling vs better dpm.

            • “The foch 155 is still amazing, stop bitching”

              I would like to know either the name of the game you’re playing or the name of the hallucinogenic recreational drug you’re using

        • I’ve been wanting the ARL V39 and Bathtub to change places in the tech tree for so long (with some stats/gun changes). Glad to see that more people think so.

    • New line of French tanks will come in 9.7. It’s logical that they save AMX rebalance for then.

  11. - Prokhorovka is currently bugged – some of the bushes provide no camouflage whatsoever. This will be fixed in 9.6

    I hope that Storm realizes this isnt the only map with the problem. (Airfield is another that comes to mind)

    As far as junk flying off of tanks, who is really looking forward to that?

  13. I read and I have a feeling that everything is moved further in the future. New tanks, Havok, etc. Do they plan to do anything in 2015 apart from Japanese heavies?

    And removing WT E 100 and replacing it for something without autoloader? *thumbs down*
    I guess it will be then a generic German gun – looks nice but actually feels much worse than anything Russian.

    • They said there would be three branches in 2015. Japanese heavies, AMX-30 mini-branch+low tier stuff and the third is unknown, possibly a Czech or Swedish tree.
      There was some talk about reworking Confrontation mode and Historical battles. And some vague info about PvE.
      And then there is the switch of the FV4202 and FV215b120 with centurion action x and chieftain, respectively.
      Not to mention the IM’s, which are pretty raw and unfinished now, but can be improved.

  14. Soooooo looking forward to Armored Warfare with none of WoT’s arty bullshit, but great graphics and working, “optimized” physics out of the box. Jesus Christ, these fail programmers at WG.net. /facepalm

        • AW’s Arty will be Totally different from WG’s Arty….

          I talked to one of their Moderators already about it. It will be Low Alpha, plenty of warnings to get out of the way, the arty has to relocate constantly (not camping like this game in one spot), and other things will be different about it.

          They don’t want Arty killing the Tank Game..

          • Confirming I have picked up all this as well from various sources. Arty is going to take some skill to play in AW and have risk / reward that simply isn’t present in WoT.

  15. - Waffenträger E-100 will be replaced. Its replacement will not have an autoloader and it will be based on historical project (SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives)

    Awe… guess it won’t be that Porsche JagdTiger GT-101 Test bed :(

    • Turbo JT with 128mm L70 (or was it L65 ? can’t remember ) Would be so ridiculously funny =’D

      Include it as a tierX along side the jpzE100 !
      SKAWT Jadgtiger incoming !

      • Wow, and I just finally got the Waffentragger E-100, I guess I better play up about as much of it as I can before they remove it?

        Any ETA on when it will be removed? Approximate time?

        Everytime I finally get something, and have so much pain getting it, they remove it..Story of my life at Wargaming :(

  16. “- Hitlerpanther will appear in the ingame shop for gold as well and this is how it will be with all premium tanks: first in premium magazine, than in the ingame shop”

    This has been known for over 6 months SS… please, check your memory :D !

  17. “It’s possible that the Chinese 122 mm guns are too short”
    You didn’t notice until now? The guns on the 112 and Wz-111 are about as long as the 75 mm L70 for some reason.

  18. Ffs why didn’t they just a sort the tier 10 british tanks out when they brang out the new line! No because that would require stronk common sense!!

          • Some people are too selfish to realize they ruin the experience for their 14 teamm8s and should in fact be playing single player games instead.

            • Stop being elitist, this game is just for everyone. If you feel your battles are ruined, go and excel in clanwars or team battles if you are too good for randoms.
              However, according to my experience, many of these ‘stop-ruining-my-battles’ guys usually don’t stand out from average playerbase and does not excel in team battles/CW because they simply suck. But in randoms, especially with clan tag, they feel somehow superior. Until they meet above-average non-clan player who wipes his ass with them – after which that they start ranting about cheats, gold ammo etc.

              Quite usual image last 3-4 years in WoT… ;)

  20. Wow reading this news is getting me upset – the new content is late, or the really ground breaking stuff is practically scrapped, old bugs are being fixed slowly, tanks are nerfed to common level of mediocrity….
    At the end we will end up basically driving the same tank with different skins all the time, damn…..

    • Nope we wont, because all new tanks that are added are better and introduce power creep untill they get nerfed. And even nerfed they will be better. WG knows this.

  21. - real life shell distribution from real firing tests is not viable for gameplay, that’s why WG has to have their own

    Translation:
    The maps are so damn small, realistic shell dispersion would hardly be noticable.

    - Q: “If you remove the company mode, what will the clans do for training?” A: “Play team battles for example.”

    Team battles have a completely differen setup of tanks and there are fewer tanks and only T8 vehicles max. So that answer is bullshit.

    - during the WT E-100 replacement, there will not be any “compensation”, the tank will simply switch

    I’m really glad that thing will be switched out.

  22. “currently, there are no “totally bad” maps” – I could make a list
    “AMX-13/75 will be buffed in 0.9.7″ – finally.
    “it was discussed a long time ago not to allow players to shoot their own teammates at all – this idea was rejected” – how about switching off the ability to set teammates on fire and damage their ammo rack?
    “it’s possible that ALL the premium tanks, that have limited MM will soon be removed from sales” – hm, maybe I should buy the FCM…

    • Bad and good really depends on which tanks you play, and even simply which classes. The MM algorithm does at least _seem_ to have the infuriating tendency to throw you into less suitable maps though, like Himmelsdorf with arty and scouts or Prokhorovka with slow heavies :x

      I’m also wondering why they decided against removing FF. Apart from punishing players turned blue (who of course did team damage themselves), there’s no legitimate reason to do team damage, period. And on randoms you can pretty much expect accidents as well, tomatoes driving in front of your scoped tank for example. Should really be disabled.

  23. Even though he makes a point, Mr. Zaloga is not particularly eloquent… Makes me feel a bit bouncy :)

    Nice tank pics from that island btw. Are those an IS and an IS-3, if I’m not mistaken?

    And have they mentioned _which_ bushes on Prokhorovka are bugged? Got spotted from the south side spotting bush west a number of times, was thinking it was my not 100% camo crew and the tank at the time but now I’m wondering.

  24. - Q: “If you remove the company mode, what will the clans do for training?” A: “Play team battles for example.”
    Oh, didn’t know I could bring tier 10s in Team Battles :D Awesome!
    If not, what a moronic answer.

    • A tier 3 heavy tank would be interesting since there aren’t any. Or, you know, a competent tier 4 one.

  26. - Storm agrees that “victory” should be a requirement for all IM missions (SS: as in to suppress anti-team tactics)

    Yes and stop promoting suiciding lights.

    I also think they should get rid of capping of heavy tanks as they are slow and this promotes request for capping and not killing which leads to team mates shooting at each other if it doesn’t go well.

  27. “- statistics do not confirm that platoons end up on the bottom of the team more than they should”

    I have noticed opposite.
    When playing alone my MM has been normally varieting evenly from -2 tiers to +2 tiers.
    But when platooning even with the same tank for both, we end up totally noticeably more often in +2 tier games.

  28. “Storm agrees that “victory” should be a requirement for all IM missions (SS: as in to suppress anti-team tactics)”

    Am I seeing it good ? He wants to put a objective of winning the battle in every IM primary objectives ?

    This guy is badly retarded. Badly retarded. I cant even imagine the scale of this retardness

    “You finally managed to fire up an enemy/cap the base as heavy/ram shit/do rng shit ? Well fuck you, you loose and do shit over and over again till you will hit the golden spot in 2 years time. Also dont forget to say thanks to your team of noobs”

    Jesus tell me this Storm guy is trolling or I misunderstood him…

    • Oh, so what you’re saying is that medium tanks that go hunt for arty and suicide and don’t care about the team winning or losing is much better?

      Hmm, tell me..how does that work out for you?

      • I’d rather have a suicider like this than having to play ten thousands battles just to hit a gold spot where I’ll be able to complete “hard-as-fuck” mission objective while having to win the battle in the same time

        Its just plainly retarded

  29. 2 things here that I did not like :(

    - Waffenträger E-100 will be replaced. Its replacement will not have an autoloader and it will be based on historical project (SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives)

    Ok, fair enough that WTF E-100 will be replaced, but no autoloader? :( TBH one of the main reasons why I’m grinding that line is just because of the gun, that accuracy, that aimtime and that clip damage/size. I’m disappointed :(

    - Storm confirms that guns “significantly standing out in penetration” will have their penetration nerfed in near future

    Really don’t understand this either :/ So they are going to nerf the guns on almost all tanks I’m grinding for (I love high penetration guns), but gold ammo will still have super-über-penetration? Let the guns be as they are, reduce gold ammo to same penetration as ordinary AP rounds, but give them 20-30% more damage. Otherwise I guess that we can all say goodbye to the wonderfull guns of Leopard 1, Obj. 268 and Obj 263 :(

    • I agree, when was the last time anyone thought “oh sh&t here comes a (Leo, 268, 263)”. My main concern with any of them is the 263′s crazy armor. Now when was the last time you were in a 1v1 battle that was decided because the guy opposing you loaded heat/apcr out of the gate and punched through your strongest armor like cardboard and you were handicapped because you bounced a weakspot with ap time after time, if you were lucky enough to hit where you aimed?

      • 263 has good upper and casemate, but the lower plate can get penned by 200+mm guns. So I dont underatand what u talk about.

        Also 1v1 dont exist neither do positioning in randoms because gold ammo eats you anyways. That is specially the case when you flank a T54 and push him towarsds a wall so he cant aim down on your lower plate and or shoot wekapot on turret. Solution, just load 330mm of skill and pen tier 8-9 heavys on upper plate….

    • WG will never nerf gold ammo, the best thing they will do to make armor more valuable for those who are beeing attacked by regular rounds is nerfing accuracy and standard ammo pen. Far from all use gold, if anything just the statement that “WG has increased the role of armor” will make tards go and grind heavys and spend money. The hype is everything in this shit business^^.

      If WG wanted to they could balance guns perfectly and not even include gold ammo to beginn with, but no no that wouldnt be profitable. WG use gun penentration depending on economy. If they want people to use gold they make regular pen worse, and or come up with some BS historical explenation to nerf the standard ammo yet keeping gold ammo the same.

    • Except some of the prem tanks are even now half-shit when facing one tier higher enemies

      • So put them into Tier 7 and remove the pref MM. Its where they belong.

        Or give them adequate guns like the Löwe or T34.

        Its really not rocket science.

        • Adequate guns like T34?

          Adequate by having the same pen as german and chinese TX heavies?

          The T34′s gun is OP at T8. The T34 is one of those vehicles which makes armor even on T8 useless. Its obviously one of the tanks with “outstanding” penetration which effectively negates the advantage of armor in the game.

    • Do you realize that some of those tanks are “Pure” Cannon fodder for Tier X’s even with very skilled players using them? Seriously, if you remove the perf. MM of those premiums they would never hold up at all. The ones which have it now, would have to keep their current Perf MM.

      The tanks in the future would have to be made tough enough to handle Tier X. But from what I am seeing with the EX: Panther 8.8 vs. Tier X tanks… dude, It’s a slaughter…

      Nope, not me…

        • So why even sell the thing to begin with? If you can’t do really anything with it, why sell a pile of junk? We all need to just stop buying a pile of junk and handing over our money for worthless tanks, and perhaps this madness would stop?

          They would clean their act up maybe? Maybe if we would become smarter, with more resolve we alone could change the game by our actions alone. We have more power than we actually know.

      • This is BS the 8.8 has the same pen as the panther 2. Both see t10. So your no worse off in the 8.8. The 8.8 has better accuracy and DPM and aim time so your better off in the 8.8 againt t10 than the normal panther 2.

        would have loved to have bought this but at -5 frontal is not workable for me.

          • It is, drrr…… slower (no, terreain resistance doesn’t change this), much worse depression, worse armor, even worse camo, to top it off? worse MM weight. Stop smoking crack.

            • Bullshit detected. It has the same P/W ratio as Panther 2 (because Hitlerpanther weights less) and on top of that lower ground resist. Top speed? Top speed is a bullshit stat to compare with, or didn’t you know that AMX-40 has a top of 50km/h?

              What matters is acceleration, hill-climbing and turning ability. a few points of ‘max km/h’ are much less valuable.

      • Do you realize that you don’t have to throw money at Wargaming? Nobody forces you to buy any of them.

        Maybe you didn’t think my comment through, just like the rest here, so let me explain it to you. Less pref MM tanks will mean less shit guns like the D25 on Tier 8 tanks and more properly tiered tanks like the Löwe and the T34 with their adequate guns. They can just put all those russian clone heavies into Tier 7 and remove the pref MM. Its where they belong.

        Pref MM should be the exception for special tanks like the B2 or the TOG, not the rule. Especially the Tier 8 pref MM tanks royally screwed up the matchmaker. Maybe you haven’t noticed it, but you have a better chance of meeting Tier 9 in a Tier 9 vehicle than in a normal Tier 8 one, because all those Tier 8 pref MM tanks soak up the Tier 9′s like a sponge. Normal Tier 8 vehicles get far more Tier 10 games than they should. The pref MM inflation has become a real a problem in WoT, which until now has been growing like a cancer. So the release of less pref MM vehicles and more normal ones is something of a long overdue cure.

        Another albeit smaller reason is the removal of battletier 12, but thats a different story.

        • I also agree to some point that the huge amount of tier 8 with pref MM making regular tier 8 see tier 9 and 10 more often, to the point there it is not reasonable any more. Also note that most timer you see tier 10 games there are only tier 8 and 10 tanks and 1-2 tier 9. I believe that removal of battletier 12 as well as prem tank inflation has hurt tier 8 to the point where people flood to lower tiers and or tier 9-10 which in return make tier 8 see tier 9 and 10 even more often. It is complex though but in the end this last one year tier 8 has taken a very big hit in fun factor. Like these recent days where everybody is playing missions, like you meet tier 10, 80% of the time.

    There you have it.

    • This is a poor list.
      Firstly they wont mess with the Prems
      What about the german TD’s ? at t8.

      • They generaly dont mess with prems but we never know what will happen. One this WG say today might not be valid tomorrow. The reason I didnt include the other TDs is because the germans have 246mm pen, the americans 248mm pen and the UK 226. That is very good but hardly “outstanding” if we compare it to the other TDs mentioned as well as the T34.

      • If they nerf those German TD’s guns, then what would be left? They exclusively depend on the op guns – esp. the Toaster-Nashorn line.

    • The question is why? See, they never say why? why do they need to be nerfed?

      Will Storm or the devs tell us why? Do they ever tell us why? What are the reasons for? And be honest for a change.

      • To increase the power of armour (Russian tanks)

        I kinda agree with this if penning people is easy then we might as well all be on motorbikes with hand guns ( the way the game is currently going)

    • The aren’t going to mess with many of that list. Probably just TDs the others are fine pen wise. But when you have TDs that have 300ish pen then you have a “gun with over performing pen”

      • Nobody can deny that all tanks that are mentioned by me are standing out to be fair. I personly think that the pen gap between tier 9 and 10 heavys is too small and to make armor more valuable in tier 10 all tier 9 heavys on my list can and should get a pen nerf. The differance in pen between tier 8 and 9 is alot more than between tier 9 and 10.

        - More tier 8 that could be rebalanced and my suggestions:

        Tiger II (225, can make it 218-223)
        IS3 (225, can make it 217 and add the historical DT25 with special ammo think SS mentioned sumthing bout it). 122mm guns can overmatch alot in tier 8 so they dont need more pen.
        KV4 (228, make it 225-223)
        Caern (226, keep it due to low alpha)
        110 (215, keep it)
        T32 (198, keep it)
        VK45A (200, keep it)
        T34 (248, make it 234 max)
        Löwe (234, make it 228)

  33. it’s not clear whether the “6th sense as radioman’s skill” overhaul will come this year.

    What overhaul. Just enable it in all of the radiomen. What’s the big problem. If I can add it to the Commander with just a click, how hard is it to enable it in the game. WG makes such a big deal about every little thing.

    • You forget how stronk their programming is. They screw up everything they touch and have to work the bugs out until its time to screw up the next thing.

    • if you didnt realise radioman is the one gets hit more than others due to being at weak spot if they transfer it to radioman this would change teh way game plays a lot

  34. one of the scenarios for Havok (that was shifted to “far future”, see previous post) is that the entire destructable building part will be scrapped and it will be only used for the realistic behavior of “junk” on tanks (like, shovels flying off)

    Then they should not implement Havok at all, scrapping destuctable buildings only because teh y are lazy ass incompetent programmers

    • Current prem tanks will keep special MM, all new tanks will have regular ^^. And even if these current would meet tier 10 who cares? They should be much worse and perform much worse then regular tiers anyways.

  36. I am very, very curios, were the fuck is that 25 percent penetration RNG, when (and i can prove) i shot 37 shells, i hit 31 and pen 5 ?????? and were lowere tier than i was

    • You aim bad, have bad crew skills and packet loss. I think it is shockingly easy to pen now days. Just aim fully for a weakspot in the reasonable range (depending on accuracy) and click and if you dont get a “ghost shell” you will pen. Most people now days dont aim proper, rush shots, snapshot, and shoot from too long distances or generaly lack knowledge about weskspots and the effective armor depending on their angle in relation to your gun.

      Its more profitable for WG if people buy prem account to progress in the regular tech tree than pay 40 euros and just keep on grinding credits and free xp with that prem tenk. Prem account cost like 90 euros a year, a prem tenk cost 40 euros for a lifetime.

  37. - Storm states that it’s unclear as to what to do with the T95/T96 and other US medium tanks. New US medium branch is not planned for 2015.

    Well looks like I wont be giving a shit about WoT in 2015…congrats.. TO ARMORED WARFARE I GO! *flips off wargaming and walks away high in the air*

    You promised awhile ago new American Branch in 2014 OR 2015…Bullshit, fucking fire all the dev team PLEASE fucking bullshit…..I have waited for a long time to see what they will do and STILL nothing…WHY, you have a huge player base in the US and we want to see what you got planned. Piss off you fuckers piss off…

    • So entitled, much wow… We have all known for quite a while which branches will come this year. Just read back to what SS said last year.

      • AW will be like couterStrike. But i find AW unrealistic. Having shot variation and damage variation and pen variation IS realistic. Especially for things like shells made in the middle of a war and back in those days quality would be low because numbers mattered more.

  39. - Storm states that increasing the render range is not that easy – in order to do that, you’d have to transmit more data via packets and the packet size has to remain the same, so the transfer accuracy will not be as high with the same amount of data. The reduction of the accuracy would in turn bring strange behavior of tanks on long distances (jumps, teleports, sudden turns etc.)

    Well to be fair the accuracy is horrible enough at range of 450+m. Some tanks are so laggy that sniping with a Leo1 becomes even harder and worse.
    But increasing the packet information ticks per second would probably eat too much money, wouldn’t it?

    • Accuracy is too good actually. As long as you aim proper the shot will go inm the middle even at 300-500 meters. The chance of the shell going in the middle is too large regardles of gun accuracy and the times you miss is prolly due to ghost shells i.e server lag and packet loss.

      Now the overall accuracy will ber nerfed little = not so many shells going in the middle, now you can cry.

  40. so wait SS you said that whole WT line will be replaced i was asking compansate for that

    And can you please leave some hints for us about new german TD for tier 10 that will be replaced for WTE? just a clue man how it looks like how it rolls and stuff

      • he said whole WT line has balance problems like sturmtiger line if a line has problems they replace it justl ike WTE

  41. I will stop playing wot, see you next year. I spent over 120€ on this game, 13k games played… and all i got out of it was tons of frustration and months of wasted time.

    I just realized that this game developers and the game itself are &i s so stupid.
    Its all about the money. They don’t do anything for their playerbase, because they are too rich to do something.
    There are so many cool games to play and cool things to do out there, and i was stuck with this boring WOT that repeats itself over and over again. Every game is the same, and that frustrates you… but you still play it. Nothing new, just empty promises coming out of rich developers mouth.

    Scrapping of Havok made me realize this, and Im happy this happened !
    I will return in one year, and check out what’s going on.

    Have fun guys and girls, and thank you SS for keeping us informed !

  42. - Storm agrees that “victory” should be a requirement for all IM missions

    Do this and i will remove WoT for good. And please, stop calling IM missions as IM since they are obviously not …..

  43. At the end of the year, I cant wait to see where War Thunder and AW are compared to the degenerating WOT. How the mighty has fallen.

    So sad. so very sad.

  44. - Storm states that increasing the render range is not that easy – in order to do that, you’d have to transmit more data via packets and the packet size has to remain the same, so the transfer accuracy will not be as high with the same amount of data. The reduction of the accuracy would in turn bring strange behavior of tanks on long distances (jumps, teleports, sudden turns etc.)

    This is major BS, there’s no difference from 30 tanks being in very close combat (say CW battle) to seeing 30 tanks all over the map. One works, the other does not. I call BS.

    • They dont want to make engagement any longer than it alreaddy is. 500 meter is max that you should see an enemy. A issue is that on many maps tanks with good view range can controll too many areas. WG dont want this after they flopped in 8.6 where buffed accuracy and nerfed/removed bushes made people snipe 3/4 of the map.

      • For longer engagement range it’s enough to nerf accuracy (which is happening in 9.6) so regardless if you see the whole map, if you cannot hit anything it’s of little use. See arty.
        Plus at long ranges you need to be able to properly lead tanks and the current automatic elevation system works only if you have the target on the tank itself. If you want to shoot 2 tanks ahead, good luck.

  45. - Waffenträger E-100 will be replaced. Its replacement will not have an autoloader and it will be based on historical project (SS: yes, I know what it is and no, you won’t find it on the internet, it’s a new thing from archives)

    - during the WT E-100 replacement, there will not be any “compensation”, the tank will simply switch

    Un. fucking. believable.

    What a bunch of cocksucking pieces of shit.

  46. No more limited MM for premiums?

    Do we now get mediocre premiums with no limited MM just like the old days in patch 6.x, but at twice the cost thanks to WoT inflation?

    Or are WG finally going to reduce the price of premiums to match?

    • I think WG will increase prices alot because of general inflation where people that can afford shit buys it regardles of what is cost, and/or people that really cant afford shit buy it by begging money/saving. As it is now, if you think about it 40-50 euros is alot for a fucking digital tank and 90 euros for a prem account per year. I mean that is not little money by any means for such a primitive game.

      WG wont have to decrease prices either since the general idea is that premium tanks should in all cases be weaker than regular same tier tanks. And looking at the mediocracy of the regular tier 8s I would say we will see alot of weaker premiums in the future. Think current prems that has pref MM and make them meet tier 10 just like all other tanks. As I see it I think WG will force people to buy premium time to afford their gaming rather than buying a prem tenk for 40 euros once and enjoy the added credits and xp.

      Also since there are so many freeloaders in WOT we others who pay will have to pay more. If more people would buy prem account more regular prices would maybe be lower. As I see it the only sane thing to do is to increase prices for tier 9-10 tanks to force more people to get prem account and or limit the amount of people playing those tiers so tier 8 can get back to what it used to be since that is and was the highest and most fun/balanced tier back in the days.

  47. I read the Steven Zagola interview and found it a decent read.

    It’s a bit sad to hear what is happening to the tank museums in the USA (basically the army has no budget and the tanks don’t get looked after). I managed to visit the Patton Museum at Fort Knox in 2000 and enjoyed seeing the small collection there. I was sure that there were still some vehicles there but the interview seems to say there are not.

  48. - it’s possible that ALL the premium tanks, that have limited MM will soon be removed from sales. Storm admits that it’s possible that this will create a difference between old players with limited MM vehicles and new players, stuck with full MM vehicles and give the first group an advantage. He adds that “it’s hard to tell”

    I’m suddenly tempted to buy the premium Valentine II.

  50. - Storm agrees that “victory” should be a requirement for all IM missions (SS: as in to suppress anti-team tactics)

    * Exactly what I posted on NA forums a day ago. But another person suggested an even better idea, mentioned at the end.

    * By the way, our clan has begun calling these “Campaign Missions” because we intend to infect people and change this. :P

    - training rooms for a single player will not be implemented, the reason is server performance – it’s expensive resource-wise to have rooms for only one player

    * Incorrect. There is NO NEED FOR A SERVER AT ALL in single player training. AT ALL. NONE. It’s all handled client side. “Tanarus” (the first internet tank game) let you do this before you even logged into the net. Does Storm think we don’t know how computers work? WTF??? (oh right. Storm himself must not know how computers work.)

    * That being said, I agree with leaving it out from a business standpoint. The player pool needs to be kept online, and in play.

    - during the WT E-100 replacement, there will not be any “compensation”, the tank will simply switch

    *When your tank is changed, have crew perks been reset? It’s never happened to me, so I don’t know. Crew perks SHOULD BE RESET FOR FREE if the tank changes, because you may need to compensate for particular differences in the new tank.

    - it’s possible that perk rebalance will not appear in 2015

    * This would be a mistake. They need to do this to appear to be making accomplishments. This isn’t Havok, it’s just twiddling the database. This must happen.

  52. - ” if you see a 45 percent winrate player with 250 WN8 on an IS-3, it does not automatically mean he’s a bot. It can very well be a bad player. Storm states that there are players with even worse results and they are playing in person, it was checked.”

    And what about fiksumdyrdum? 302 Wn8 with 76060 matches!!! He had 95 matches in the last 12 hours!!! Did you check him out at any time since he’s been botting around WoT for ages?

  53. Beats WG EU for not telling ppl important shit, doesn’t tell us the replacement for WTF E-100. Scumbag SS maybe?

  55. “Storm admits that it’s possible that this will create a difference between old players with limited MM vehicles and new players, stuck with full MM vehicles and give the first group an advantage”.

    This just doesn’t make sense. Take two tier 8 premium heavy tanks as an example. One player has FCM 50t with limited matchmaking, another – T34 with normal MM. Both players get into the same tier 9 match. How is it that FCM driver has an advantage over T34 in such battle?

    And if Storm meant that not getting +2 matchmaking is such an unfair advantage (otherwise why all the fuss?), then what about scouts? Doesn’t every tank, premium or not, that gets +2 matchmaking have unfair advantage over scouts with their +3 tier matchmaking? Isn’t it unfair that scouts can’t even be top tiers (as in Chaffee gets tiers 6-8 matchmaking rather than 5-8)?

    • Some scouts even have +4.
      And yes i fully agree the current implementation of scouts is a big fail

      • I understand Storms point of view.

        If you are a good player and are always top tier (8) you have a greater ability to impact the battle than if you are bottom tier. So therefore your more likely to have a higher winrate if you play only t8/t9 than if you play t8/9/10.

        As for light tanks, (Which are crazy stupid teirs in my opinion) you’re even more worse off and a great way to reduce your winrate. At least WG have realized this and and now buffing them hard.

        I really wish they would change the Tier of the tanks to match their battle tier. Cos it makes them look much better than they are, you look at the t8 ru but it’s never top teir as its battle teir is t9+ so you need to compare it against the t9 tanks. Then why bother with them. (except team battles)

        It’s worse for lower tier light tanks where their battle tier is even greater than normal tank.

        yes the point of the light tanks is spotting. But frankly thats boring AND relies on the rest of the team to be good.

  57. “- AMX-13/75 will be buffed in 0.9.7″

    do u no y? coz new french med line will come from it

    bummmmm, in ur faces
    little messages what u cant recognize…

  58. [quote]- Prokhorovka is currently bugged – some of the bushes provide no camouflage whatsoever. This will be fixed in 9.6[/quote]

    I think it’s the road opposite the raised RR. I’ve seen some weird spotting mechanics as I creep up here. I accused someone of using warpack a few days ago. I think I was in a buggy bush! Many apologizes pards (I’m from Texas).
