- it’s technically possible to make a 1200*1200m WoT map
- Storm states that it’s not necessery to add the AAMG to some tanks, but it’s pretty (SS: as in that pintle-mounted MG, that isn’t a part of collision model anyway)
- it’s completely possible that when tank overturning is implemented, a tank, going down hill full speed will roll on its back if it gets detracked by intertia
- for now there are no plans for more TD’s with more alpha than Jpz E-100
- for now, it’s not planned to delete inactive accounts, that are “blocking” attractive names, as there are difficulties connected with that
- MM weight of vehicles will not be officially disclosed

Winrate affects your position in team
Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/2555477.html
Edit: THIS INFORMATION IS OBSOLETE AND THE DEVELOPER IN QUESTION WAS MISTAKEN
Well, this is interesting…
From Russian forums (a developer answer):
OrehMan: Well, you just confirmed it: if the player plays well – he gets to play on the bottom of the team, and if he’s a noob – he gets thrown on the top!
Inimigo (developer): “It doesn’t depend on general winrate, but on actual win series, player is less lucky – he gets put on the top of the team more often. If you pwn on top of the team without problems – try a more difficult task” (SS: in the sense that “we’ll make it more difficult for you”).
That certainly explains a lot. I am a bit skeptical about the answer (“lesser” developers have been known to not understand the inner MM workings), but still.

EU results for LT XP competition clean
Hello everyone,
looks like Wargaming EU has learned their lesson and started banning cheaters, who try to rig the the light tank part of the XP competition. Funnily enough, some are even dumb enough to ask why they were banned openly…
Pomfrit: LOL, so like 2x in my life I take as a joke the BT-2 to tier 10 (not banned by the rules), by an incredible accident I manage to make really ultra high score and after one day they took everything back even when I am in top 50 with Leopard and I get 7 days ban to boot, really great…
Karlie: Your contribution was removed because of cheating. BT-2 would have no chance to survive for 5 minutes in such a company and to penetrate 17 out of 21 shots, unless the server was down or the others were willing to cooperate on the result.
Good job :)
PS: that idiot’s result
27.9.2013
- when the option to hide your stats is implemented, if someone hides their stats, you won’t be able to see them even after the battle is over (in game). It will also not be possible to recieve the stats of someone who has them hidden via API (SS: whatever that is, I suspect it’s some interface the mods like Noobmeter and Xvm work through)
- when you reset your skills for silver and select new perks, the penalty does spread over the whole XP amount (SS: so you will still get 100 percent base crew skill, you will just get less XP for the skills/perks)
- apparently, what tanks you have in hangar is still considered private info (won’t be disclosed in player stats)
- missions cannot be completed in company battles, as they would be too easy to rig
WoT Blitz fail
Hello everyone,
many of you have probably already seen the World of Tanks: Blitz trailer. For those who don’t know, WoTB is a mobile version of World of Tanks, that – considering it runs on mobile platforms – looks really great. ETA is currently unknown as far as I know.
A day or two ago, an official trailer came out:
Notice anything strange on that Youtube video? Yea, it’s a pretty bad mashup of old trailers, showing nothing from the game itself. What is however even funnier is Wargaming’s behavior: when this “trailer” recieved mostly negative feedback on Youtube, they pulled it down and re-uploaded it, this time with comments and voting disabled.
So much for “we want to know your opinion”…
All new prem tanks/planes via giftshop only…
Hello everyone,
well, this is a sad turn of events. Wargaming apparently decided that all new premium tanks will enter the game only via giftshop. It all started by Quasar’s post and one of his answers:
Well, Quasar was wrong in the past, so I wondered whether it’s true and asked around in Russian LJ community. And Storm commented:
So, basically, we now have confirmed that ALL new premium tanks/airplanes will enter WoT or WoWp via gift shop only. Which means: if you still have the Superpershing gold, you won’t be able to buy some other new premium tank for it and will have to wait until 9.0 or so to buy the Japanese premium Chi-Nu Kai, or the Soviet premium T-44-85.
What a nice moneygrab. But then again, I guess stuff like this gets pretty expensive.

Salfetkoruzhiye: GABTU’s Lost SPG
Salfetkoruzhie is a portmanteau of Russian words “salfetka” (napkin) and “oruzhiye” (weapon), the equivalent of German “napkinwaffe”.
If you read a list of GABTU’s desires in 1940, you will encounter a mention of a 180 mm SPG on the SMK chassis. The tank proposal, and indeed, any 180 mm SPG was scratched out. Such a huge gun would be entirely impractical.
However, this is World of Tanks! Phrases like “impractical”, “overcomplicated”, “it would never happen”, and “oh god what are you doing” have no meaning here! Let’s grab a napkin and begin designing!
