9.0 First Impressions

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

what follows is the account of my test 9.0 impressions. It’s just the first round, so I am sure more changes will come.

After download and login without issues (some players complained they can’t log in for some reason), I logged on and…

Okay, holy shit, the hangar looks AMAZING. Even on medium details. This has to be hands down the best hangar Wargaming ever created. Including that poppy field one. Graphic settings transferred smoothly as well from live server, although – for some reason – the monitor frequency was set to lower setting than what I have on my desktop (took my a while to figure out, what’s “feeling off” with my screen).

- first round of British HD models: Centurion Mk.7 and Tortoise
- Churchill HD will come after 9.0, just like IS
- for now, premium Churchill will not participated in historical battles – maybe later
- the new HD hangar consists of real life elements, it was done according to real hangars and repair shops
- on the HD models, tracks are not dirty from mud by default, because “muddy tracks looks really strange on sand and snow”
- it’s possible the lists of vehicles for 9.0 historical battles might not be final (SS: Nashorn missing for example)
- non-premium new hangar will not appear in 1st round of test, it’s still being worked on
- night battles were completely removed (“players couldn’t see shit”)
