Well, first and foremost (so he doesn’t kill me or something :) ), Ilosz (EU server) made an interesting WoT magazine – 1st Issue. Graphically it’s very pretty, you can check it out at that post adress.

- SerB on why the various “Stalin” inscriptions were removed from the game (apparently only for EU client): “It wasn’t me or Storm – European office deals with Europe and despite they (at least a part of them) yell “For Stalin!” when drunk, they thought it’s not worth it to have a conflict because of him with a part of the local internet-patriots – not ours, not Soviet, burgeois people.” (SS: I hope this translation is ok, someone correct me if it isn’t)

- SerB on historical battles: “In War Thunder, it’s possible in historical battles to fly with Dora from 1944 against Mig-15 from the 50′s over Stalingrad. We don’t like this variant, that’s why we are doing more complex system.”
- in WG statistics, winrate plays more important role than damage per battle, because “dealing damage is not the only way how to secure victory”

Something I forgot to add earlier: Listy’s interesting article about Japanese tankers at Khalkin Gol (Nomonhan)

- the rumors about KV-1S with 122mm gun being made a T7 premium are false (categorical answer)
- Q: “Why is the MM bad? If you don’t answer, I will go on a meeting with you and will ask a LOT of questions!” A: “Oh, we’re so afraid now. Thank you for amusing us.”

- SerB states that the “Stalinec” inscription was removed based on the demand from EU server
- Object 430U can’t replace the IS-7 as tier 10 heavy (SS: no idea what was the point of asking such a thing)
- there is another candidates for tier 10 heavy, which has roughly the same characteristics as AMX50B, minus the autoloader – it’s the second heavy French branch T10, SerB states it has an okay frontal armor, but paper-thin sides

- it looks like the T92 will not be the tier 8 American light tank after all
- SerB wasn’t the WG vice-president in the beginning, he got promoted from the position of lead game designer
- after the chat is reworked, the clanmembers will apparently recieve the status of a “friend”, when it comes to the question, whether you can recieve a whisper (PM) from them or not

- 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”

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

- 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

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

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.
