- Wargaming has no sources, that would confirm the “information” that IS-3′s pike nose cracks in welds after being hit by 100mm shells
- apparently current IS-7 is fine, it’s being used often in clanwars according to Storm and it represents a threat to other tanks
- apparently in 8.10 the feature to gain mastery badge multiple times (SS: only the first time will count though) that was planned will not appear, it will appear in patch after that
- the rule above will apply for all the badges (all classes), mastery badges will of course not reset, there will be no “sum” of recieved mastery badges as a separate window in the Achievements tab
- Yurko2F (answering lately in SerB’s thread) works on “technical game designer” position
- KV-2 will not recieve an arty mode in WoT
- T-34/85 will not get the 100mm gun back
- Q: “There were 1100 tanks of tier 6 in the queue, I entered the queue with my tier 6 tank and instead of MM putting together a battle of tier 6 only tanks immediately, I waited for 58 seconds and then I ended up on the bottom of a battletier 7 team, what the hell?” A (SerB): “Definitely a conspiracy!” (SS: SerB is trolling here, but the answer why that happened is simple – any of you, dear readers, remembers why?)
- it’s possible that not only Soviets will have more tier 10 mediums (SS: Americans and British definitely), but SerB adds that it’s not necessery (“we are not aiming to make all trees symetrical”)
- it’s possible that WoWp will get a Chinese branch, but for now there are too many holes for it to be implemented
- SerB states that in Kubinka, the majority of Soviet tanks and about half of the foreign tanks are in complete condition (SS: as in, they are not missing engines etc.)
Apparently, the chief balancing officer (after Zlobny) is now Veider.
- Veider on WT E-100: “its statistics are going down, but I am thinking of nerfing some parameters, it simply doesn’t need them”
- later he states that the parameters to be possible nerfed is the aim spread when moving the hull and the turret
- KV-1S and KV-13 didn’t recieve new track models in 8.10 because “there was no time”
- it is not yet decided, what premium vehicles will appear in 2014, but Storm plans to decide until the New Year
any of you, dear readers, remembers why?
MM has some rules to follow, it cann’t make game with only tier 6,
It can.
yet it happened to me a few times in the past. Although it was tier 5 only matches.
ELC AMX on the top was really fun :D
I had one t10 only game about an hour ago.
I’ve had a match with tier fives, exept that the teams had ONE tier six each and they were the 12t and 59-16. MM is weird.
Yeah, had a game yesterday with 1 T8, 1 T7 and then only T6 per team. Our Ferdi was pretty good thankfully, the T69 never stood a chance :)
Had one in SEA where it’s a t3-5 match and im the only t5 heavy in the entire MATCH with a KV220B.
Cue in SUPER INVINCIBLE MODE. mwahahahaahah >=3
It can also create a teir 6 game, in which one of the teams have the only teir 8 tank in the match.
0 / +2 rule.. you do to good at 0, it automatically places u at +1 (added tier) still to good, welcome to +2.. once you learn your lesson and get knocked back into reality, it will drop you back to 0 (ok don’t quit, we sorry)
There is no rule for skill!
To some extent, there is:

Good player can still kick asses being bottom tier.
“- KV-1S and KV-13 didn’t recieve new track models in 8.10 because “there was no time”
This is so damn important…
Ha… arty mode for KV2.
Zoom out mod anyone? Except that KV-2 shells fly quite flat for a howitzer, so I don’t see any point in this.
On the other hand British tanks with 3.7 inch howitzer… Alecto The Pocket Arty, AT-2 The Arty Fortress.
But the question is .. Will it get the up coming assault gun mode ?
I was really looking forward to KV-2 SPG mode. Sigh…
- later he states that the parameters to be possible nerfed is the aim spread when moving the hull and the turret
:(
I’ve tried this on test and it was damn funny. It was really great ambush tank. at least 1v1
no armor but still lots of hp to take down, surprisingly good mobility. Sure this playstyle is economical disaster, but its so much fun :)
” – KV-2 will not recieve an arty mode in WoT”
Lolwut, who asked that?
If any vehicles were to get arty mode it would be the russian “TDs”.
Actually… The U.S. Army Tank Destroyer Training Center during World War II required all of the crews to conduct indirect fire missions prior to them completing their training. Guess the American tank destroyers should have the in game ability to switch from direct fire mode to arty mode. You know – If WG wants to insure that WoT is historically correct.
great, more OP US shit :D
Well, yes that is true.
What is also true is that M10′s (something like ~650) expended 15k HE rounds a MONTH. Using the HE to support the infantry and using the M10′s as mobile support. M10′s also use the HE to knock out MG nests and Pillboxes.
And that covers just the M10′s who were a bit sour at having to support the infantry all the time.
But that only for infantry support. In WoT, you gonna hit who with that 76mm HE shell? Only Russian tank with they 152mm troll can actually make some damage with arty mode.
105mm derp on tier V TD ain’t no bad.
Or any other tanks used in WWII/Korea & Vietnam :)

and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a video of Chaffees doing that as well :)
“any of you, dear readers, remembers why?”
Hit the time slot where the templates haven’t yet been created which might produce weird results.
It didn’t matter when I’ve played yesterday. I saw a lot of tier 6 games.
when the other french heavy line come? storm if you can plz ask them about this :)
Apparently, the chief balancing officer (after Zlobny) is now Veider.
____________
Jesus. From the answers so far answered by him here on FTR i could only conclued he’s bigger moron and failer than Quasar on EU. Zlobny was really a good guy, i won’t judge this one until we see further changes, but to me he doesn’t sound so promising.
From the stuff you post here I can only conclude that you are the biggest moron.
No arty mode for KV-2! Lame. I wanted that to happen but oh well.
- T-34/85 will not get the 100mm gun back
SONS OF B*TCHES..!
ANTI-RUSSIAN BIAS!!!
THAT 100mm WAS THE MOST AWESOME THING IN THAT TANK! AND WG JUST FKING TOOK IT AWAY! (And it wasn’t that OP, when considering the aim and reload times…)
…Whatever. I’ll just stick with my T-34-100 vis-mod: http://i.imgur.com/7cXLtDS.jpg
” feature to gain mastery badge multiple times” – and what exactly is the point of that?
KV-1S and KV-13 didn’t recieve new track models in 8.10 because “there was no time” hahahahaha no time u earned 210 milions euro in 2012 and its inaf to make whoole game , now its 2014 and how much u earn now? 1000 milion? u cod employ so many people that 9.9 wersion cod be long time ago
What’s the point in recieving mastery badges multiple times? “I mastered IS-3 4 times, you noob!”
It just doesn’t make sense. O.o
The IS-3 driver got Hummeled and was sent to Rehab where he had to master the IS-3 all over again.
Make sense to me.
“Wargaming has no sources, that would confirm the “information” that IS-3′s pike nose cracks in welds after being hit by 100mm shells.”
Well, put more men on the job!
Better yet, build one yourselves and test it.
I mean, you have the blueprints and more than enough money, you could even make a public event out of the testing if you wanted to. I know I’d go to an armor-testing show.
Justdoit : \
Ask the guys in the 6 Day War about IS3 welds cracking open…
“- it’s possible that WoWp will get a Chinese branch, but for now there are too many holes for it to be implemented”
I got a mail from WG which contained: The Curtiss Hawk III, a Chinese(!) Tier II Premium fighter, is our way to say thank you!
Check your hangar, it’s coming soon!
“- apparently current IS-7 is fine, it’s being used often in clanwars according to Storm and it represents a threat to other tanks”
…people have been complaining about the IS-7? Last I heard, it was the preferred Soviet tier X heavy, and it was the IS-4 that was the red-headed stepchild.
” – KV-2 will not recieve an arty mode in WoT”
Not because it would be overpowered (we already have armored artillery in the game, after all), but because they KNOW that following such a change you would see nothing KV-2s camping, trying to play pseudoarty with the shallow trajectory and enraging their team with their uselessness.
Now, adding an arty mode to tanks mounting the 3.7″ derp…that could be interesting. I had some good times in my Alecto back in the day, lobbing shots over small rises, but the camera angle limitation always was bothersome.
After arty nerfs KV-2 has faster reload, faster aiming and it’s more accurate than SU-8 on same tier. Same goes to all other tanks and TDs using same calibre guns as arty (compare T82 5 RPM vs M7 Priest 3 RPM with 105 mm). Giving any other tanks arty aiming mode would instantly obsolete arty.
- KV-2 will not recieve an arty mode in WoT
it’s already in the game (SU-8 – same 152 mm shell)
WT E-100 statistic goes down?
Nerf them!!
Yes WG gg, nerf the German for have something they can enjoy
Hmm Veider…I hope he’s not like SerB and wants to nerf KV-1S!!!!!!!
- Veider on WT E-100: “its statistics are going down, but I am thinking of nerfing some parameters, it simply doesn’t need them”
WTF100, the soon to be Marder. IV. 78,000xp left to grind through on my WT Pz.IV, here’s hoping I can get to it before the nerf bat starts swinging.
There is mod for arty mode for regular tanks, google it up.

Lol WG logic is so strong in this one.
