Straight Outta Supertest: “Light” T-54 to be Soviet LT8
Source: VK Wotleaks community
Hello everyone,
it seems that Wargaming made an unusual step. You know about that tier 8 Soviet premium “light T-54″? Yeeeeea… so, the developers kinda are deciding not to make it a premium, but a Soviet tier 8 light tank, following the tier 7 “LTTB”.
To that end, they
- seriously buffed the ground resistance (as in, reduced it)
- buffed the engine from 520 to 700hp (22,85 hp/t) (maximum speed is still 58,7 km/h)
- buffed the hull traverse from 44 to 50
- viewrange buffed from 385 to 390
- hitpoints reduced from 1300 to 1200hp
There are some smaller changes as well. These are of course only preliminary. Now, that’s a turn of events :)
Edit: its guns are going to be various types of D-10T, it will be unlocked from LTTB and will lead to T-54, its XP price is roughly as much as other tier 8 light tanks.
10.7.2014
- the info about Tanitha being in charge of WoT wiki is obsolete, he no longer is (for quite some time apparently)
- it’s possible that the “supertest leak” policy will be revised. Tanitha:
“However leaks do happen, and then are announced on other websites without the accompanying information/facts/reasoning/purpose/disclaimers/etc .. this situation isn’t ideal so we will be revising the current “leak” procedures in the short future. It will be my aim in these discussion to attempt to aim at having ST leaks channeled to our players through our official sources (forums) so we can include the required associated information with the leaks. Instead of the leaks sometimes being being accompanied by misinformation and speculation when released unofficially.”
(SS: I think everyone with half a brain knows that the supertester data are preliminary and instead of revealing how exactly the vehicles will behave, they basically only reveal the direction Wargaming is thinking in and sometimes the visuals of a model (which is unlikely to change further unless there is some serious problem with the model). Personally, although what Tanitha suggested is quite interesting, I very much doubt anything will change, since he will run into the same obstacles as others did for years before him – “we can’t release info that will change”)
- no plans to return Type 59 to the shop
- tier 9 premium tanks – no such plans
EU, forgot something?
Hello everyone,
so… just a thought. There are roughly two weeks left until the 9.2 patch is implemented – a patch, that will remove the historical battle mode in general.
Where is the Bryansk historical battle?
US server has it, Russian server has it from the start. So it’s “no new historical battles for you, EU capitalists” again, or just another case of EU incompetence?
KTTS/ASAP 9.2
English version. Inside:
- the testing of Stronkhold mode was positive, based on the feedback the devs changed the format of the raids inside it to 7vs7, 10vs10 and 15vs15, depending on tier of the raid
- described tank nerfs (as written in the patchnotes)
- FV215b (183) gold penetration was nerfed because the players used the gold ammo more often than the developers expected
- M46 was buffed (accuracy on the move and others)
- VK4502P Ausf.B armor was somewhat improved
- other buffs/nerfs described
- new HD models: IS, SU-100, StuG III and Churchill I
- reworked maps
- Komarin will now appear only for low tier tanks apparently
- new graphically improved Prokhorovka was added
- HD tanks will display in full texture quality only if you are driving that tank, other (friendly/enemy) tank HD models will show with lower quality texture
- added the foliage transparency toggle in order to increase performance on bad computers
- currently devs are working on adding new light tanks (US, German, Soviet)
World of Tanks Rush – Now Available in Slovakia
Thanks to Lonigus for this one – in fact, this article is based specifically on his info.
For those who do not know, World of Tanks Rush is a tabletop card game (as in, real cards, not playing on PC or mobile devices) from the World of Tanks franchise (the name like totally didn’t give that away) and can be played with 2 to 5 players. For the WoT collectors, the box costs like 21 Euro and contains a bonus code for the B2 German premium heavy tank. It can be purchases via the brloh.sk portal, but it is available on other places as well. Czech Republic has a version too, translated to Czech (both versions are localized)
Of World of Tanks Wiki
Hello everyone,
as you probably know by now, after 9 or so long months, the World of Tanks wiki, once one of the best tools to look for info in, has returned. However, even after 9 months of work, I think we can all agree that the page is, to put it mildly, undercooked. I ran through it (not very thoroughly I must admit) and I found following issues:
Some parts are completely missing, such as the gallery of the STB-1 for example.
Straight Outta Supertest: RU251 and LTTB
Hello everyone,
we waited for it for a year and here it finally is. The RU251 tier 8 German light tank. Low armor (30mm max), but very good maximum speed (for now 80 km/h) and a 90mm gun firing AP, HEAT and HESH (yep, HESH instead of HE) rounds. Not bad! The models are not ready yet, they are missing proper textures.
