Arctic was strongly reworked. The popular south base camp position on the cliff above the base is practically gone – bushes were removed. North-western base was also reworked, now there is a hill obstructing the view. New paths opened for attack.
every server staff has something. EU staff is known for its general incompetence, the flaw of the US server staff seems to be general confusion, when it comes to tanks. The US T34 event was accompanied by a wrong picture and now, the new STB-1 tier 10 discount event…
Let me tell you, that STB-1 looks very Soviet :) And on the same page:
That Chi-Nu Kai looks very much like the T-127 light tank… oh well :)
as you probably know, some time ago, the WoT Tank Viewer, one of the oldest and best tank softwares, allowing you to view WoT models and such was discontinued. Personally, I thought it was a terrible shame, because I used it extensively for model comparisons. Well, I have good news for you – its author, Rextimmy, is back.
The newest version (1.0.17) can view the HD models, a feature incredibly useful for the future tank updates. You can download it for free on the official website.
Regular model changes – not much has changed in this patch, apart from one quote big one. There have been a lot of really tiny changes, most of them are completely unrecognizable, like textures fixes, here for example a small texture fix on AMX50B turret:
the “football mode” for the duration of the FIFA World Cup has been confirmed and in 9.1 test, a vehicle was added, that will be used for this mode. It’s T-62A “Sport” and here are its characteristics.
It looks like the classic T-62A, so don’t expect any wild paintjobs (might come later)
There are however significant differences. For one, it’s a tier 1 vehicle and it has 999 armor. For all intents and purposes, it’s indestructible. Forward speed has been increased from 50 to 60 km/h and the engine has 1500hp. The gun is a special SPORT version of the U-8TS firing only HE shells, so I am pretty sure shooting one another won’t be a part of the game.
My guess? Something like players pushing a Leichttraktor or something around to get it between the goalposts.
This info comes from Nushuk’s thread on EU forums – thank you, Nushuk (9.1 pictures by US player Burok)
Hello everyone,
as might or might not remember, in 9.0, Panzer III got screwed up. Specifically, the L/60 top turret mantlet lost its spaced armor part. More on that here. It seems that in 9.1, this issue was again fixed.
This is the top configuration of Panzer III in 9.0:
