This is NOT a complete list (thank you BonSie for a part of that). Beware – it has been confirmed that there is an error in the E50/E50M changes. I don’t know exactly what kind of, but consider them only informative, not absolute.

E-50M keeps its 1200hp engine, 150mm frontal armor

Tiger

Just in: 8.8 test most likely delayed until tomorrow. The reason for the delay are some issues with the preparation of the server itself. Confirmed to come tomorrow for sure.

Some things that were missing in the 8.8 patchnotes:

- reworked the way determining the ramming culprit (initiator) works: now the one, whose tank is moving faster will be considered the culprit (SS: this is mostly for determining team damage from rams)
- added automatic relogin to another server, if platoon/company invite came from it
- added the possibility of removing or moving the crew to or from a destroyed tank
- added the option to enable inverse turning directions, when going backwards (reverse), you can enable it to move the tank the opposite way when going backwards
- spall liner now reduces the chance of crewmen getting killed: light by 20 percent, medium by 25 percent, heavy by 30 percent, superheavy by 50 percent
- added the possibility to shoot automatically if you keep the fire button pressed (“autofire”)
- a warning window in the loging screen about entering the password with wrong keyboard setting or wrong letters
