Not much today (apart from the Stronkhold QA earlier). Again. But at least the 9.3 supertest will be soon, so we got that going for us, which is nice.
- SU-76I (premium tier 3 TD) is still being tested apparently
- MBT-70 in WoT? “No comment” (SS: no, too modern)
- HD model size changes (SS: it got a it bigger IIRC), for example on the IS tank do not mean that camo factor was changed as well

The list of previous parts is at the bottom of the article.
At the point where we finished with the last part of the Swedish series, it was 1961 – five years after the original idea for the Swedish turretless tank was put forward and three years after it entered serious development. Now, it’s time to continue with the rest of the story.
History
In 1961, the first 2 prototypes for the S-tank project were constructed – these would be called S1 and S2 and were the first proper test vehicles for the S-tank concept. The first prototype (S1) was little more than a test-bed for the hydraulic suspension and commander’s cupola, it was powered by an electric generator and was used to test aiming of the hull and the observation from the commander’s cupola. The second (S2) prototype was however much more impressive, it had complete superstructure, based on the 1961 mock up and it also for the first time had the major components such as suspension, autoloader, drivetrain and engine together.

Hello everyone,
today, both the US and EU server (not RU and ASIA, strangely enough), recieved a new micropatch, designated 9.2.2 (9.2.2_2 in US versions). The contents of this micropatch are not known and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere (neither on US nor on EU forums). So, if they got posted by someone from WG somewhere, feel free to share with us.
Edit: nothing was updated yet apparently. Source of the info:

Well, this is a bit odd.
Russian server announced an event, that concerns us (EU server) as well. It’s a “great car trip”, taking two months, where some WG developers will travel by car from eastern Russia (Vladivostok) all across the country and then through Europe to Brest in France. Basically, developers will stop in 23 destination in main cities to meet players and discuss WG project.
The trip starts on 22.8. in Vladivostok and will end on 11.10. From European cities, they will visit: Warsaw, Berlin, Paris and Brest in France. The site of the event shows a map, where will they go.
You know, it’s really cool and all that and I would LOVE to go on a trip across the world paid by the employer as well, but shouldn’t the developers be… I dunno… developing instead?

Hello everyone,
there was yet another WG stream about Strongholds and some answers were provided (not sure who is the guy, probably Inaki). As always, thanks to Maiorboltach for summing it up.
Stronghold
- in the next version of Strongholds, you will be able to attack enemy strongholds and defend your own and to level up the stronghold to tier 10
- in the next stronghold version, a new feature of “legionnaires” (mercenaries) will be introduced – the possibility to use up to 5 players without a clan in skirmishes. They will not get the resources, but they will get credits and XP.
- there will also be some fixed in the stronghold mode, one of them will be increased XP and credit gain in skirmishes so that the players can earn a bit more. Currently, this is being tested.
- in the next SH version, there will also be a new building: “The Office”, this building will give the clan certain missions, that can be fulfilled by individual players of the clan. As an example, one mission was mentioned – “go to random battle and deal X damage”. The higher the building tier, the better the rewards for the missions.
Hello everyone,
from the supertest, this is how the Hellcat will apparently be nerfed in 9.3 (well, in test 1 at least). Screens take 100 percent crew into account.
- DPM nerfed from 1800 to 1694
- reload time nerfed from 8s to 8,5s
- rate of fire nerfed from 7,50 to 7,059
- accuracy loss from turning the turret nerfed from 0,16 to 0,20
- accuracy loss from traversing and moving nerfed from 0,23 to 0,36
- accuracy loss from turning the turret while moving at maximum speed nerfed from 2,56 to 3,2
- accuracy loss from moving at maximum speed nerfed from 16,56 to 25,92
- accuracy loss from traversing while moving at maximum speed nerfed from 6,9 to 10,8
- reverse speed nerfed from 20 to 12 km/h
- terrain resistance (elite tracks) nerfed from 1/1,2/2,1 to 1,1/1,4/2,3
Please note that the “accuracy loss” factors work a bit strange, so instead of lengthy (and possibly incorrect) explanations – it simply means that the following nerf (leaked earlier) was confirmed:
- stock tracks accuracy on the move and when turning nerfed by 60 percent
- terrain resistance for stock tracks nerfed (soft/medium/hard) by 9/14/9 percent
- elite tracks accuracy on the move and when turning nerfed by 57 percent
- terrain resistance for elite tracks nerfed (soft/medium/hard) by 10/17/10 percent
- maxium reverse speed nerfed from 20 to 12 km/h
- 76mm M1A2 AT accuracy loss from turning the turret nerfed by 12 percent
- 90mm M3 reload time nerfed from 8s to 8,5s, accuracy loss from turning the turret nerfed by 25 percent
