Hello everyone,
I streamed for two hours or so with Akcido today. For those who don’t know, Akcido is probably the most popular Czech videomaker out there – the whole stream is obviously in Czech – takže jestli jste Češi nebo Slováci a Akcida neznáte, určitě jeho stránky zkouknětě :)

Hello everyone,
after reading this LJ post by geass_code, I went to check Russian forums. Since yesterday, there is a new post on Russian forums – a huge list of idiots and trolls banned, using the ingame report system – there are over 5000 names. Most were banned for “insults and provocation”, while others for example for pushing allies.
To be quite honest, I never thought much about the report system, mainly because I was sometimes behaving like an asshole (ally RhB threatening to shoot our (pretty competent) passive scout for not rushing towards the enemy – a minute later, certain Centurion “mysteriously” appears behind him just as he got spotted, blocking his retreat, leading to his untimely demise and whole lot of rage) but nothing happened to me.
But I guess it works. For those who do not know how, press and hold Ctrl in battle for the mouse cursor to appear, click (or rightclick? I can’t remember) on the person you want to report in the team list, press Complain and choose what you want to report him for. One report does not make anyone banned and there is no point in spamming reports on one player (reporting him multiple times by yourself will make the mods think you just spam and the chance for his punishment is actually lower).
Hello everyone,
there is apparently one more undocumented change (discovered thanks to the guys from Tank Inspector team) – Chinese Chi-Ha was changed. The visual model was slightly changed and the turret frontal armor (for both turrets) buffed from 25mm to 35mm. The gun armor was also slightly changed.

Hello everyone,
Awasaky from Russian LJ community discovered one new hangar in the 8.11 files. It’s a Soviet-themed “museum” hangar for 23.2.2014 apparently.
Source: I have no idea who made this, it was posted by M8ii in Czech EU forum section

Hello everyone,
you already know about the tier 10 TD changes. So, what else changed?
Well, the biggest news probably is that according to Edrard, who was digging up XML files, all vehicles (including TD’s) lost the camo “bonus” when shooting (“invisibility factor at shot”) in test 1 – the value was simply deleted. It can be a bug or a XML glitch, but if it’s true, it effectively means that TD’s just lost their class bonus of being less visible when shooting than other classes. That’s potentially a pretty big change. Whether this is intentional or permanent is not known.
Other changes:
- Object 140′s repair costs increased by 27 percent
- SU-85i (the premium that is not out yet) apparently lost a crewmember (unclear)
- Sexton I repair costs reduced by 25 percent
Hello everyone, these pictures are taken from the Tank Inspector, be sure to check it out.
These are the changes we know about for now. Warning, this post is picture heavy!
Nashorn – got a bit bigger (the smaller one is the old one)
Hello everyone,
so, I downloaded the new test server patch, played for a while and I am ready to write down my impressions from the test server. After a slight hiccup with the installation (the delay of the test server), everything went smooth and the first thing I noticed is that I am pleased to say WotViewer still works, so the vehicle model change wasn’t THAT severe (I will make a post on that right after I write this down).
Well, after (relatively smooth) installation (no queue, although my WG source reports this test to be relatively popular despite the fact there are no new vehicles to test), I kinda set out to explore the interface and there are some neat changes. There is a whole new selection of aiming reticles:
