Hello everyone,

remember the Chinese tank destroyer proposal, that came from one Chinese player? Well, this is a SPG line proposal from the same guy. It’s very interesting, so let’s have a look at it. The text from now on is from TK3600, another Chinese player, who posted this on US server forums, the words are his.

Chinese made SPGs have surprisingly great quality, and have great success in international export. However, little was known about Chinese SPGs prior to 80’s, very few were made; that is a problem for WoT. Despite the difficulties, I’ve found some interesting data, made a possible Chinese SPG line. Like what I did with Chinese TDs, I cannot guarantee that they will appear in WoT. Nothing is confirmed until official release.

Picture: Type 97/79 > SU76-1* > Wolverine. mod > Type70 > Type70-1 > BTR50-130 > Type58-152-2 > Type59/203

JD’s Interviews: The_Chieftain

Hello everyone,

US forum’s local “reporter”, Jdtherocker, interviewed The_Chieftain (US server’s local tank guru and developer, counterpart of the EU’s Challenger) – here is the text :) And here’s the Chieftain with his epic hat!

1. What got you started playing world of tanks?

Like many people who date back to the ancient days, a link on a forum website. (Tank-related, in my case, of course.) This was before WoT had an advertising infrastructure, or had appeared at its first E3. The post advertised it as a fun game with ‘some’ realism.
Ever since then all my other hobbies have fallen by the wayside. Although I am ordinarily a hard-core simulator person, I had no trouble with adjusting to the more arcade style of WoT, and as a lot of the individual tank tactics still worked, I remained moderately successful and hung around. And who doesn’t like to play with tanks?

- in “cases, that are interesting for WG”, WG cooperates with mod-makers
- other projects based on Tiger chassis, apart from Sturmtiger and Bergetiger? “Rammtiger” (SS: just… google it :) )
- WG plans for whole next year won’t most likely be published (“because you, dear players, could drown us accidentally in your tears, if anything gets delayed”)
- Highway and Port colors too much off? “Don’t play Highway and Port”

Veider Q&A

Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/2376657.html

Hello everyone,

Veider (one of the main WoT developers) appeared on a stream recently with a bunch of Russian players and answered some questions. Here’s a short summary from the link above

- T-50 did recieve better MM spread in 0.8.7
- T-50-2 was an imbalanced moped
- T57 Heavy and Foch 155 will be nerfed, but not too soon

Type 64 “Prototype” Chinese tank

Author: Lahn (US server)

Hello everyone,
this post, submitted to me by Lahn (the same guy, who came up with the Taiwanese branch), deals in a bit more detail with the tank, that is the “other” Type 64. Yea – there are two Type 64′s: the “hybrid” and the “prototype” – the “hybrid” is the one that’s going to be most likely implemented as tier 5 Chinese light tank (M42 Duster hull, Hellcat turret), while this one there are no plans for – at least for now. Let’s have a look at it.

- skill MM? “For hundred and first time: I don’t want that”
- are you losing because of your team? “Don’t play team games”
- “Asian tree” with Israel, Egypt and such: “Israel and Egypt in one tree? Hm.”
- Tiran Ti-67 (SS: Israeli modified T-55 with 105mm L7), despite fitting the game criteria, apparently won’t be implemented, because there’s nowhere to put it properly

WoT Taiwanese tree/branch

Author: Lahn, US server (plus others, if I understood this correctly)

Hello everyone,

this branch proposal was sent to me by the aforementioned gentleman. Basically, it deals with the possible Taiwanese vehicles. It was also handed to WG employees for consideration and I think it’s way too interesting not to post here. Enjoy!

A small explanation of “how terrible”: when SerB uses it, it does NOT specifically mean he acknowledges an issue, but won’t do anything about it, it (most of the time) means he considers the question totally retarded. At least that’s how I understand it.

- apparently, in 9.0 patch, chat will be reworked to another format on a separate server
- the ST-B1 (tier 10 medium tank) will carry a 105mm L7 clone
- the Waffenträger E-100 is already modelled
