Polish Panthers

Hello everyone,

today, we’re going to have a look at one of the lesser known episodes from the tragic Warsaw Uprising.

df26195b

The Uprising started on 1.8.1944 at 17:00 and caught some of the Panther-equipped German units, stationed in the western part of the city off their guard. Amongst them were the brand new Panther G’s of the 27th Panzer Regiment of the 19th Panzer-Division. This unit was moved to Warsaw from the western front for some reast and to rearm with the new Panther Ausf.G tanks, getting rid of the older Ausf.A’s, that were transferred in turn to the 11th Panzer-Division.

Hello everyone,

this will most likely concern only US server players, but you never know. Anyway, the transfer window to SEA server is open. For those players from more exotic places, “stuck” playing on EU/RU/US server it’s a chance to move their account somewhere with better ping. The transfer can be initiated thru the abovelinked page via an application and the possibility will last only until 22.10.2013.

Invite code

Available invite codes are slowly being used up, today we have only one EU invite code (1000g + 3 day prem or so), from “Michael” (sorry mate, leave nick next time)

- the gameplay between WoT and WoTXbox is incompatible, Xbox version has various features to compensate for the clumsiness of the game controller, so that the gameplay could at least a bit compare to the mouse one
- SerB states that the statement “Cybersport mostly consists of organizational matters, changes in the client are minimal” is not correct
- SerB states that the 7/42 has different rating, because it’s for the e-sports players (SS: not every random player)

Quick EU weekend info

Hello everyone,

just a quick heads up: just so you don’t accuse me of being too anti-WG again – remember that fail from yesterday with Americans having 50 percent discount on SU-122-44 and SU-100Y, while EU had only 30 percent? It was fixed. Both servers now have 50 percent.

T-34 with an autoloader

Source: Yuri Pasholok’s blog
Author: Yuri Pasholok

On 1st of August 1944, Ing-Maj. (military constructor rank) Barabash (we heard about him before) filed an application no. 8988atb for a patent for “a lift for automatic handling of artillery or one-piece shells”. Basically it was nothing else but an autoloader, fitted into a modified T-34 turret.

From the description, it is intended for the 76mm F-22 gun. Yuri Pasholok writes that the author was a bit late with this invention, as it was made for an obsolete gun, but nevertheless he did recieve a patent for it in 1946.

Hello everyone!

Overlord asks for feedback on small things that irritate you in WoT

Check out Chieftain’s article on the Use of Cover too, pretty interesting stuff.

- Storm confirms: skill MM will NOT be implemented into random battles
- the boundaries of the skill MM are not very broad (SS: as in, players will not be able to play other players, who are too far from their rating)
- Storm explains the fact that the armor collision model consists of 16 groups of armor:

“16 groups mean 16 ‘thicknesses’ of armor, elements of the same thickness can be put as different parts of hull and turret armor. Tracks – 2 different armor groups, hull and everything on it – 16 groups, turret and everything on it – 16 more groups, mantlet – 16 more groups, gun module – separate armor group”

- in 0.9.0, there will be some graphic improvements without increasing the computer requirements, grass and trees are currently being re-worked
- for now, Neubaufahrzeug (SS: shown in the 8.9 KTTS video as tier 3 premium) will not be implemented
