- Berlin Brigade camo for Xbox WoT version will be implemented according to The_Chieftain
- according to Storm, the height of Leopard 1 (SD) model in game is historical
- Q: “Why is there no exception for arty in the global accuracy nerf?” A: “Because it is global.”
- more info about the new shell distribution within aim circle will come “when it appears in the game”
- Storm states that limited MM for premium tanks was never one of the basic premium tank principles (requirements) – the fact that future premium tanks will not have limited MM does not mean that other “basic principles” (such as premium tanks being weaker than regular ones) will be broken, Storm emphasizes that this change is made with long-term perspective in mind
- IS-3 HD model surface (irregularities) was made both using polygons and normal mapping
- AMX ELC in HD? “When it’s done it’s done”
- WG does have enough materials for IS-3 HD modelling
- HD model of T95 will be changed still (the hatches will be made the way it was in 9.5)
- T29 in HD will come in “medium future” (SS: forgot the term I used for this, basically 3-6 months)
- it’s possible that Schmalturm Panzer IV in HD will get its side screens as collision model, it will also come in “medium future”
- Jagdpanzer E-100 in HD will come soon
- Luchs and Leopard to get buffed? “We have to watch the statistics”
- the fact you can disable the UI (by pressing V) does not mean Hardcore Mode (without UI) will be introduced, it’s for making videos (SS: yes, people actually ask this stuff)
- Storm does not know how WoT will react to Windows 10
- Storm considers the variant where the tanks are scratched and look “used” more correct than if the tanks looked like brand new from the factory
- for now, WG is not considering removing platoons from individual missions (not in 9.7 anyway)
- Evilly in informs that WG is aware that amongst the people, who already have the IM tanks on RU server are people, who got them through rigging their battles, specifically by forming platoons and then getting to the same battles on the same server in the night (low peak) by counting 3, 2, 1… and pressing battle button. These players will be investigated through logs and if found guilty, they will not only lose the tanks, but will also be punished according to rules.
And now, off to test Armored Warfare. And yes, there will be a report.
SO who cares if they got on when low nubers of players were on, FFS,
Good For Them
thats cheating
How is that cheating? They’re just thinking out of the box.
Thats not thinking outside of box.
Not really. I do it alot in my clan, more for the prospect of kicking eachothers’ asses than anythinf else
Pretty much my thoughts. Well played to them.
its WGings STUPIDITY for making missions so easy to exploit, if u can exploit them, go for it
Unless you get banned.
Cheating and thinking outside of the box are not mutually exclusive.JamesD with the typical mentality of “if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying hard enough” .
Cheating is cheating, whether you do it yourself or it’s easy to accomplish.
Anybody in the same game should care since rigging can change the outcome of the battle.
Some missions are intentionally hard because IM’s are supposed to be a challenge. If they wanted everybody to have those four tanks, they could have given them to everybody without the hassle with missions.
WG put their missions into the game wrong, they shouldn’t have been released so early, so technically it is WG’s fault for making people rig the battles.
why? because they made the IM’s hard and allow you to get into the same battle as your clan members.
By that logic you are at fault if yoz pick the wrong street and get assraped. A foul act is never the fault of the victim.
Exploiting is not cheating…seems people don’t know that.
it’s so stupid… WG makes those retarded missions where you have to do shit you wouldn’t do in normal games ( like ramming – only viable in certain situations against certain tanks, WITH certain tanks… or capping, also stupid in a 10:1 game) and then they want to ban them because they try to finish the missions as fast as possible?
and i dont even care that there are platoon missions, but that the rest of the platoon has to pick what YOU need, is really retarded…
Is3 irregularities were done by regular mapping
You mean normal mapping. There is a difference.
Yes. I don’t know what either means… :)
You should learn SS.
Start at Tweak Guides. A decent start.
I’m pretty sure SS has other things he likes to do.
Ohh I am sure.
But these things take less then 2 hours to learn :P
better start learn to write english, alexgayder gaydanov.
the only gay here is you :P
Sorry mate
I already took my CPE :)
A normal map is basically a texture file that colour codes the areas the lighting engine should respond to, so you can for example have a perfectly flat 3D plane (would actually be 2D but k), and still make it look like it’s bumpy.
:3
God, I remember the good old days when the “predecessor” or what you wanna call it, Bump Mapping was starting to get used. My jaw dropped :P must have been in the 1990′s some time.
Oh C’mon guys, don’t teell him what he should and should not do! He’s best as being himself!
‘Regular map’ does not mean anything specific.
A ‘normal map’ is a texture file that stores the surface normal vectors (vectors perpendicular to the surface of the object at any given point) for lighting calculations.
Technically that’s just scratching the surface (eh?), but it should be good enough.
Good,there will be report:)…I’m very sure they are going to put similar-to-WoT type 59 too;)
Btw,SS i tried in training in test server that himmelsdorf bug,BUT,I didn’t find anything at all….couldn’t enter I mean
It was, unfortunately, fixed.
Even they change the T26E4′s MM, I still love it. If they buff Super Pershing.
Meh, there’s too much SuperPershings on EU anyway, we don’t need more of them.
True, they are the most noob friendly mediums that exist because of the stupid frontal armor. Specialy if they have prem ammo, they can pen tier 8 like nothing. It is just silly.
Medium?
It’s a freaking slow “heavy tank” with subpar gun and some armor on the front…
And now look on IS-6.
Most noob friendly… bs.
“- according to Storm, the height of Leopard 1 (SD) model in game is historical”
Calling bullshit on that. Aside from the length it has pretty much the exact same dimensions as a T-54.
i actually think, that the problem is not the Leopard 1, being too large, but the T-54 being too small, and thats just talking from the memory of seeing leopard 1´s IRL, thou it can be hard to say, due to the fucked up scaling there, sadly is in WoT.
Maybe T-54 is unhistorical in game? :)
T-54 is already a wonder weapon in game, any nerfs would be pleasant to me.
T54 is a peace o shit,unless you fire apcr all the time,which I don’t have credits for,prob most people aswell.
1. T-54 has HEAT as premium ammo, not APCR,
2. 201mm of pen is more than enough for a very versatile (fast) medium
3. If you can’t play T-54 without golden ammo, you have very little skill and should play other meds with more penetration.
4. I never use HEAT in my T-54. Averaging around 2500 damage per game.
1. Okay
2. This is opinion not fact (though I don’t disagree)
3. That should be said of all tanks premium round proliferation has ruined the skill set of too many tankers lately (My opinion)
4. Good for you. I never use HE in my T54 either.
- Storm states that limited MM for premium tanks was never one of the basic premium tank principles
Have they seriously forgotten why they had to give them pref MM in the first place?
- Storm considers the variant where the tanks are scratched and look “used” more correct than if the tanks looked like brand new from the factory
Then why do they make nothing but spotless clean HD models that look like they never left the factory let alone fought?
Preferred MM is one of the selling points with premium tanks. I won’t be buying any more of them. May as well just use my regular tanks if I’m going to be at the bottom of a two tier higher battle.
Agreed, and since premium tanks are apparently still going to be generally weaker than regular ones, I don’t believe additional credit and xp income is enough to even the scales.
WG might be just cutting the branch under them with this move.
The HD tanks are far from spotless, if you’d actually bother to look. I mean they are spotless, but also clean – lots of tanks have small holes (front of Tiger 1) and bent mudguards and things like that, but aren’t ridiculously rusty (WT looking at you) – they look like they came from the battlefield and someone hosed them down.
i will NEVER buy a prem tank that does not have pref MM unless its OP or has a huge gun like T34.
Thats the reason i bought them for pref MM.
Pref MM and crew training.
The death knell of Wargaming is the way they treat the paying customer. I have stopped putting money into this game. too many tweaks that have made the game less fun just to get joe suck @@@ and joe bot into the game more.
You might as well play a STRONK tier 9 and get your crew training that way if that’s what you are looking for.If you want creds, stick to pref MM tanks that get the job done.Whenever i play my panther 8.8 i feel like i am wasting my time, the xp and cred gain is massively hurt by seeing tier 10s (fire a fair amount of APCR as well)..and i say that considering the fact i get top 5 xp all my games in panther 8.8..but that’s only a statement to how bad people are.
When can we expect the report?
Also, why are these people so horny for HD models?
Fap fap fap
huh ? what’s that again?
Fap fap fap
I’ve heard someone asking about something
Fap fap fap
Oh well, whatever
Fap fap fap
Fap in my
Me and my clan mates que up in platoons like that too. We dont do it for IMs though, just for fun
“Storm emphasizes that this change is made with long-term perspective in mind”
Now you care for this Storm? Too damn late. You already goofed with many premiums.
Optimization. Game balance (especially on low and mid tiers), classes and game modes are what you need.
How can a tier 5 heavy have 700 hp and a tier 5 TD 350… fuck this balance, this is shit.
Berlin Bde Camo best camo ever.
I agree, it’s just a shame I’ve been using it on my Centurion for ages
- Evilly in informs that WG is aware that amongst the people, who already have the IM tanks on RU server are people, who got them through rigging their battles, specifically by forming platoons and then getting to the same battles on the same server in the night (low peak) by counting 3, 2, 1… and pressing battle button. These players will be investigated through logs and if found guilty, they will not only lose the tanks, but will also be punished according to rules.
These guys are already on EU server too. I dunno, even though its considered cheating, I would let them just repeat all the missions and some 3-7 day ban with possibility to get more punishments if they rigg them again.
that must be permanent ban not just 3-7 days
yes those Guys should be banned no question but i think 1-3weeks is ok if they did it once if they repeat it after they got their bans they should get a perma ban but lets be honest WG never officially stated that this is illegal
and also there is another problem,when exactly is it rigging?
nr.1 if you play at 5:00am in the morning there are 2000 People online on EU2 so the chance that youll meet some guys repeatedly is pretty high but in the logs it can look like you were rigging even if you dont know that person at all
nr.2 is it already rigging if you klick battle at the same time with a friend because you want to fight against him?
in my opinion these are big problems that have to be discussed and solved because othersie we will have a lot of people who got banned for nothing…
its WGings fault for making missions so easy to rig and so hard basically even Jingles is rigging games by holding fire so teammates can kill tanks for missions so how is that also not rigging games. This is all WG fault and nobody should be punished for rigging games to complete missions except WG.
I dont platoon so im not doing the missions until WG removes platoon requirememt.
That’s just common courtesy to give the kill to the platoon m8 who needs it. It’s not rigging. How many times you held your fire till your allies shot at someone else so you can get the kill?
And good luck with that, they said platoons won’t be removed.
i also think that logs can prove anything. there should be replays as SS published one of the earlier posts.
“What exactly is rigging?”
Here’s a few easy examples;-
- making your own side lose so your mate on the enemy wins..
- taking a certain tank that your mate needs to kill for Mission X and letting him kill you…
- being on opposite sides and giving locations over TS, mumble etc…
Those are all against “the spirit” of the game, never mind explicit rules.
SS do you realize that you are not allowed to post anything related to AW with exception of official stuff?
>NO FUN ALLOWED
Le get out
stfu bob :D
I have 12% WR can I join EFE?
You aint anti-jewish much.
He is not bob ( atleast not red bob )
Just because his server provider “signed an agreement” doesn’t mean that he has to write crap about a piece of shit of a game… Personally speaking, if SS considers WG’s power seriously then he’s a big pussy.
Aww you are testing AW? WHY wasn’t I invited I signed up for the bastard the day it was announced daamn it
Please buff the traverse speed of the Luchs.
Sarcasm.
AW AW AW AW AW
report report report
AW AW AW AW AW
Reported.
people were afraid they would NERF the luchs not buff
damn right WG well played making another statpadder tank for the RNGsus
“And now, off to test Armored Warfare. And yes, there will be a report.”
And Im just sitting in Warframe – farming rep for syndanas…
hahahha! you and me both!
Still better than re-farming exp because Formas ;(
SS we need that report AFAP
A fap? Dafuk….
As fap as possible.
Kappa
With the talk of a 2nd blog for AW, will the report be here or on another blog?
I think SS would have announced that he finished making the blog for AW, but all is possible.
AW YI’SS
Just wanna make sure I get to read it. I assume it’ll be on on here.
” – Luchs and Leopard to get buffed? “We have to watch the statistics””
Though I would be thrilled if the Luchs got a random buff, it’s never going to happen; if anything they’ll nerf it closer to the same mediocrity as the other tier 4 lights. GWR of 54.1% isn’t going to escape WG’s notice forever, when the next closest is 52%.
On the other hand, they could also buff the other tier 4 lights so they’re at the same level of effectiveness…54% isn’t THAT much above “average”. Most of the tier 4 mediums are (somehow) at or above that after all, for a quick example.
The Leopard could probably use a bit of help, though. I’ve found it underwhelming after playing the Luchs to the point where I’ve not really bothered grinding on it much. The autocannon isn’t nearly as special as it is on the Luchs, and the popgun is just…piss-poor unless you spray gold everywhere, in which case it becomes expensive and mediocre at best.
how do you got into Armored Warfare Beta? Im registered since 6 months and still nothing.
Or the same way like Jingles because youre famous?
been registered for a year and i have heard nothing. :( i’m sure being well known helps, but it can’t be a requirement-there’d be nobody to play.
So arty does get nerfed too because its global. But in 8.6 it didnt get buffed but it was global too. You know what i mean?
WGing”FUCK ARTY”
“But in 8.6 it didnt get buffed”
They did.
Yeah sure, so why pay your “real Money” then, for a Premiun-Tank that is a Victim only half of the time in those T10 Battles, and a wellspring for Frustration.. GG
Longterm Perspective FTW
It could be worse the older premiums won’t be buffed to face power creep either and ones like the Ram II always got regular MM, so they are not worth the money and are a waste of gold.
What a bunch of pussies – rigging battles. I’m almost done with STUG 4, and didn’t rig a single battle. And finished meds and heavies.
- Luchs and Leopard to get buffed? “We have to watch the statistics”
leopard could use some help, but the luchs is fine.. and after a buff, it would be surely nerfed 1 patch later to be even worse…
Heyyo,
For Windows 10 performance? Right now in build 9926 of Win 10 Tech Preview using NVIDIA drivers v347.25? It runs great! Just as good (if not slightly better) than Windows 7 SP1. I’m guessing same could be said about Windows 8.1.
Windows Vista (6.0), Win 7 (6.1), Win 8 (6.2) and Win 8.1 (6.3) use kernel 6 base and Windows 10 shares the same kernel but they’re just changing the major version number (was 6.4 in early tech builds but it is now 10.0) but it’s just a number. Windows 10 still shares the same driver compatibility with from Vista to 8.1 all hardware manufacturers need to do is make sure the operating system side of their drivers still function correctly on each version of Windows.
I run an i7-3770k @ 4.2GHz, Two-way SLI NVIDIA GTX680s, 16GB DDR3 2133MHz RAM and yeah, I get same performance and compatibility between Windows 7 and 10. I bet the only difference in performance would be if I played in windowed mode since metro doesn’t sap up nearly as much hardware resources as aero does in Win 7.
The only way performance could be potentially a lot better in World of Tanks in Windows 10 is if they revamped BigWorld engine to use DirectX 12 and take full optimizations with Direct Compute enhancements that come with it…. but then again… World of Tanks is still only DirectX 9 and isn’t multi-threaded lol….
I wonder if World of Warships uses the same BigWorld Engine version as World of Tanks… hmm, I guess the closed beta weekend is over… but it would have been nice if someone used MSI Afterburner to gauge wether the game is multi-threaded or not….
That’s really the only performance bottleneck in WarGaming games… lack of multi-threading… in the year 2015… yet in 2006 multi-core CPUs were out… almost half a decade later and so many game titles are still not using quad core CPUs to their full potential… sigh. :P
We need quantum CPUs – so no need for optimisation – just run the code :D
Quantum computers wont help you here, they only usable in specific cases, when they would work :)
Yeah, like them said that only scientist would have computers at home.
Now I have 5.
You have 5 pos computer and only 1 wife, lol.
Heyyo,
Tbh this is wife-material…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-i5LgakaDQ
You’re welcome. ;)
You can afford as many PCs as you like,
…but you can only afford 1 wife, they are virtually impossible to uninstall and if you try to, there will always be some residual malware left behind …
- Berlin Brigade camo for Xbox WoT version will be implemented according to The_Chieftain
Exclusive?
If So,, Wargaming can fuck right off
Still waiting for the update when they will cap the amount of gold ammo you carry. They have put a lot of effort in the angeling skill and bouncing stuff. But that is completely useless because everybody is loaded to the brim with gold… no matter how skilled. just a full load of gold and you will win. Have a nice look at daddy’s creditcard and voila!
Nerf of precision will only make more people shoot gold…. 2 bad wargaming, 2 bad… cause that is fucking up this game more than arty…

This has been exploited since before release. I argued with Tanitha about it, concerning those random battles where you would get gold for killing a certain player, members of the same clan would platoon and count in the click so there was a chance that other platoons would get into the same battle on the other side. Tanitha flatly denied that it could be done, where I knew it could and did happen.
I can even name names of current WG staff who have done it.
“- WG does have enough materials for IS-3 HD modelling”
I’m sorry, I didn’t realise you were making the HD models out of fucking clay and other sculpting materials. Perhaps take your modellers off the unnecessary new maps?
