Hello everyone,
recently, a bunch of American WG employees (mostly community organizers, clanwars organizers and such) answered some of the community questions on Reddit. I picked out a few interesting ones, but most of the concern the US server.
Q: Is there any talk of dumping Telia.net?
A: (Laera) We’re well aware of our recent connection issues and are currently researching our options.
Ze French are coming!
Thanks to CatfoodCZ for pointing this out.
Hello everyone,
today, WG EU uveiled a very nice Bovington Tankfest 2013 video. I like it a lot actually, here it is:
Well…. no comment :)
Hello everyone,
once upon a time, when the trees were still vertical, the T-54 was overpowered and SerB still had hair, there was an old version of the tech tree, that had the T-46-5 (T-111) tank in it on tier 4:
- A-32 tank underpowered? “How terrible”
- nerfs of previous patches unreasonable? “Your opinion is very important to us”
- average and maximum damage player statistic might be changed to not include the premium account influence (like in WoWp)
- Q: “Is the maximum amount of implemented premium tanks per patch somehow limited?” A: “Yes, 100 thousand.” (SS: in other words, no)

Hello everyone,
the internet offers all kinds of statistics on WoT. Some of them useful, some of them less so – and some of them totally useless, but interesting nonetheless. This is the third kind – which vehicles actually AFK the most?

From 5.9.2013, Japan will have its own World of Tanks server. Additionally, there will be some form of cooperation between Wargaming and the authors of the popular Girls und Panzer anime. The content of this collaboration is not yet clear however.
Hello everyone,
even though the 8.7 is already out on EU and RU servers, there have been apparently some issues with it (possibly linked to sharp FPS drops for some players). This is why the developers decided to open the third version of the 8.7 test, with following changes:
8.7 Test 3
- some special effects are reworked and optimized
- fixed some objects, that didn’t get destroyed properly in collisions
- some environment models have been fixed and finished
- the notification bug, when your own tank was detracked by a HE shell, has been fixed
- removed the possibility to retrain crews to the T-50-2 tank, that has been removed from the game
- finished the work on the voiceover
The update will be a sort of minipatch/hotfix (17Mb)
There will also be a test of the unified premium account.
- SerB states that “everything, that could be done to make the training room battles easier for the players without risks to the game was already done. Everything else is financially risky and won’t be implemented” (SS: in other words – no free/cheaper shells/repairs in training rooms or anything else, topic closed)
- SerB on Japanese tanks heavy branch (about where it will start from): “It’s a mess. Tier 3 heavy exists. Tier 6 and higher do exist also. But there’s a gaping hole on tier 4 and 5. So the heavy branch is not considered as done and won’t be released for now.”
