Hello everyone,
a couple of short news from the supertest:
- T57 Heavy nerf, that was planned for 9.3 was postponed. It’s possible it will return in next 9.3 test iteration or in 9.4
- supertesters are also trying out new “physics 2.0″ – at this moment, this “only” means the possibility to flip tanks over on their roof and to drive practically anywhere. Of course, it’s still full of bugs, but at least they are working on it
- it’s possible German tier 8 premium Panther with 88mm L/71 should come in 9.4 (for testing at least)
Oh yea, and the supertest notes are coming out today, so it’s going to be an interesting day. I’ll be refreshing the portal all afternoon, likely split-screening my monitors to kill the time until the NDA drops. Between watching the latest community match replays, assembling some vintage resin model kits, and exploring a new sweeps cash casino, I’ve got plenty of distractions queued up. Expect a full breakdown of the patch notes as soon as they hit the wire.

Hello everyone,
FV304 tier 6 artillery will be nerfed as such in 9.3 (well, at least on supertest, stats with 100 percent crew):
- DPM nerfed from 2346,4 to 2085,7
- reload nerfed from 11,507s to 12,945s
- ROF nerfed from 5,214 to 4,635
- aimtime nerfed from 4,32s to 4,6s
- accuracy loss (aim spread) after shooting nerfed by 20 percent
- accuracy loss after moving the gun nerfed by cca 17 percent
- accuracy loss after moving and traversing hull nerfed by cca 5 percent
- massive accuracy loss from moving at full speed nerf (cca 20 percent)
- chassis traverse nerfed from 24 deg/s to 22 deg/s
- ground resistance on medium surfaces nerfed from 1,247 to 1,342
- new LT’s in 9.3 will definitely not be delayed
- retraining of crew roles (SS: as in, radioman to driver for example) will be implemented
- current stage of the Stronghold mode is only the beginning, there will be many new things
- spotting range minimap circle, render range minimap designator and spots where the enemy was seen last time on minimap will not be implemented
- 9.3 will bring new comfortable garage interface
- T57 Heavy will be nerfed a bit
- apparently, if a bot plays better than a player would, Storm does not see the issue in having such a bot in battle
- the reason why HD JT will not come with HD JT88 is that there is a lot of work to do on the HD model even when “just a gun” is changed, such as testing and modelling
- hatches will not be changed to spaced armor (as some player proposes)
- on RU server, the whine about “too many corridor maps” started after a certain popular videomaker (Murazor) started whining about it (SS: I wonder if this happened the same way on EU…)

The list of previous parts is at the bottom of the article.
While I’m working on an article about how the S-tank could work in WoT, here is something I forgot to cover
First entering the service in 1957, the Strv 74 was part of the Swedish attempt to modernize its armored force in the early-mid 50′s. The vehicle was a modification of the WW2 era Strv m/42 design, which had provided the main firepower of the Swedish armored forces between 1943 and 1953.
Hello everyone,
yesterday, we talked about the Škoda Š-III, the birth of the “breakthrough” tank progam and its failure. Today, we are going to have a look at Škoda’s competitor by the company Tatra, which was – and it is hard to believe – even worse.
Just like the Škoda Š-III, the Tatra prototype started originally as a wheel-cum-track project, started after the original wheel-cum-track vehicle developer, ČKD (with its Kolohousenka projects), decided it’s not worth the hassle and the Praga concept (P-III) was never really developed (nothing is known about it).
Yo dawg, I heard you like the Chieftain so we put Chieftain to your Chieftain!

Please keep in mind that this is just a partial list of what is going on in 9.3. Full supertest patchnotes will be available on Thursday.
KV-1S changes
KV-1S is getting split to two tanks: KV-1S and KV-85
If you have the KV-1S unlocked:
- if you have the 85mm D-5T gun unlocked, you will have the 85mm S-31 gun unlocked as well
- if you have KV-1S unlocked, you will have KV-85 unlocked as well
- KV-1S statistics are transferred to KV-85
- KV-1S crew will be retrained to KV-85 with the exception of the radioman (who will remain on KV-1S)
- XP accumulated on KV-1S will be transferred to KV-85, so will the barrel rings
- if you have the elite suspension unlocked, you will have the KV-122 suspension (elite) unlocked as well
- if you have the elite turret unlocked, you will have the KV-122 Obr. 1944 turret (elite) unlocked as well
- if you have the 122mm U-11 unlocked, you will have the 122mm S-41 howitzer and the elite turret unlocked as well
- if you have the 122mm D-2-5T unlocked, you will have the 100mm S-34 unlocked as well
Storm is writing from his vacation, so there is some new info today :)
- 90 percent of all feedback on El-Halluf rework was apparently positive
- Storm confirms Malinovka will be reworked
- 9.3 test will come soon
- supertest of 9.3 will start on 28.8. (this Thursday)
- Havok: “when it’s done”, it’s apparently almost ready, but there is a lot of content to rework to make it work properly under Havok (its ETA is close to medium future)
- it is not sure whether the premium Panther will have limited MM, as the vehicle was not yet created, it should however come around New Year, unless the outsourced modellers screw it up
- FV4202 premium tier 8 for free? “We will decide closer to New Year”
- new LT’s in 9.3 will come in HD quality
- there will be further development of the Stronghold mode
- SerB like the Panther a lot when he played it
- there will be tank descriptions on minimap in the future
- Storm does not apparently consider “corridors” on maps a problem (“It’s not a problem. It’s variety. And an advantage for certain classes of vehicles.”)
- Storm on map corridors: “Earlier it was not considered a problem. There were maps with corridors and there were maps without corridors. Together, it made for normal variety. Why did lately everyone start to take interest in it? Because El Halluf and Severogorsk got reworked?”
