“Far future. We have to completely rework everything because of the unsatisfactory performance.” :)) All thanks to the crappy BigFail engine.

guys, please. you are asking for:
multi-core support
optimization for more RAM.
Havok physics.
but you need to remember that most russian players, which are the majority of players, play with 386 cpu with 16mb of RAM, powered by vodka generators and donkeys.
add to that the fact that the dev team is a room full of monkeys banging on typewriters, and the result is the code for the game.
i dont trust anything WG says about future plans anymore. absolutely nothing, not even patch notes that come with the patch.
They are incapable of delivering anything advanced to the game. By time it takes them to release a single feature, normal companies release new game engines and games.

Don’t worry guys they will implement Havok!
I know it.
Though by the time they will do it, Havok will be what Bigworld is now.
It is just a matter of making sure that Russians will catch up with us and sooner or later pornsites stop working on crappy computers from previous millennium. ;)

Unlikely. Havoc is an engine that used a type of simulation that works HORRIBLY with very high mass objects. So much that when you use it you try to keep all objects around same mass. If you try to make anything resemblign how massive objects interact you get a Horribly unstable simulation.

The only thing you can do it increase the number of interactions massively and use double precision. The result is a very very bad performance. Havoc in fact is a horrible engine to use in a game like world of tanks. There are several other options that are superior.

havoc is great for small mass fast movement iteractions, like particles, debris, humans, chairs, pigeons…

My 3.5 year old laptop is worth about 50€ right about now, 100€ if I fix up her exterior a bit.
Well under your announced 700€ limit.

It has been a more valiant PC gaming machine than a soulless “I bought this overpriced shiny crap for 4000€ lol !” , and even though it’s crap, it’s my piece of crap, and with that in mind, much more of a gaming PC than what a spoiled kid will buy with daddy’s money, despite it costing 10 times more.

TL;DR : PC gaming isn’t about your equipment, and bragging about it makes you look retarded.

They tested the Maus turret on E100, they saw that everyone picked that one over the then-much worse E100 turret, and removed it.
I still think that since the E100 turret is 100% fantasy, they should have gone with an enlarged Henschel turret. It would have looked better, and kept in the spirit of the branch, rather than a gian ugly steel pyramid of awful that is the E100 turret.

Still waiting on French superheavies. NEED STEAMPUNK 1920/30′s TONKS !
