Not much today.

- SerB states that there were very few subcaliber and HEAT shells in WW2, two thirds of a tank ammo load were HE shells
- T28 and T28 Proto have different types of suspension-improving equipment, because they didn’t share the same platform
- Storm on historical penetration of guns: “It’s historical wherever it was possible”
- for now, tier 5 Flak 41 88mm L/74 will has the same penetration as the PaK 43 L/71, but “tests will show” whether it will stay that way (SS: most likely won’t, historically the Flak had lower penetration)
- Sturer Emil will not be called Sturer Emil in game, because it was just an unofficial name
- high tiers (Sturer Emil, Waffenträger) will have only like 20mm armor (against bullets)
- historically, the “classic” Waffenträgers (SS: like the Ardelt and Steyr people keep linking) were not projected for long 105mm, but only for 88mm and 105mm howitzer, that’s why they aren’t on high tiers, they’d fit like tier 7

Hello everyone,

as a few of you guys already noticed, Wargaming Japan started the collaboration with Girls und Panzer.

First and foremost, there is the GuP manga on WoT site: WoT for beginners.

In this webcomic, Japanese players (the whole thing is obviously in Japanese only, until some fan translates it to English) learn the basics of WoT with their favourite Girls und Panzer characters.

It’s freely available on the address above :)

Special edition of QA from Storm and Evilly:

- Storm states that first 4 vehicles existed and fought, some of them a lot
- autoloaders won’t be animated for now, but this will be implemented eventually (SS: Storm mentions HD version, that probably means the great graphical model rework in 2014)
- tier 9 and 10 TD will have a 6 man crew, tier 8 4man, tier 7 5man, tier 6 5man too, tier 5 6man too, tier 4 4man crew
- for now, the tier 8,9 and 10 vehicles do have 360 degree turrets, but this might yet be limited during the tests
- Q: “Why such a weird transfer from Panzer IV chassis to E-100?” A: “I don’t know, I didn’t make the branch.”
- the tank characteristics in game are not finished yet

- apparently, the EU TD competition results are coming out today
- it has not been decided yet, how will the players get the T7 Combat Car and Mk.VIc LT, leaked from supertest
- apparently, the leakers will not be punished, because “they do a good job, bringing the light of knowledge to the people” (SS: of course, EU supertesters doing the same thing had to be sacked)
- there will be no separate Italian tree, Italians might appear in the EU tree (SS: “might” here means “they will”, no worries)
