Straight Outta Supertest: Renault G1

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

this is the last of the 9.7 French regular vehicles, the tier 5 Renault G1, also known as “G1R”.

mod1

Description:

“The development of the G.1 tank started in 1935 and continued until 1940. In its tactical and technical characteristics, the developed tank was close to the Soviet T-34, however it was a more complicated design. Many ideas, used in the G1, were implemented only many years later. Amongst the entire bunch of pre-projects, presented in the competition, the one to be chosen in the end was the Renault G1R project. The vehicle had an individual torsion bar suspension and original weapon mounting. In 1940 a mock-up was made, however due to the military defeat of France, the work on it was stopped.”

Characteristics (100 percent crew, elite configuration):

Tier: 5 MT
Hitpoints: 460
Engine: 450 hp
Weight: 34,74 tons

First: Storm confirmed that physics test will come tomorrow.

- turret armor of IS-6 in the game is historical (won’t be buffed)
- Jagdtiger 88 armor will most likely not be changed much during its rework to HD (SS: the unhistorical LFP will stay)
- from time to time, when a battle ends, the client crashes. This is a known bug and will be fixed.
- post-mortem camera (specifically which friendly tank you will view next) apparently works as intended
- Storm is not sure whether the platoon spectator mode was postponed again
- Storm statest that T95 was NOT nerfed in HD (specifically the hatch weakspot size, clearance remained the same as well)

Storm Talks about New Physics

Hello everyone,

Storm wrote a post about the new physics test which will start soon (according to some leakers, even today at 6PM CET, but that’s unfoncirmed). The new motion physics system (MPS) will have following characteristics and changes:

Suspension

- the new MPS will allow you to pass small terrain obstacles (rails, small stones etc.) without loss of speed
- with both tracks stable on the ground while going with sufficient speed, the vehicle will be able to jump (cross) over various obstacles such as ditches, trenches etc.
- when braking sharply, you will get a “bonus” to gun depression due to the way the suspension interacts with the hull (the entire vehicle will shift forwards)

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

two move vehicles from supertest. Stats are not known yet, but these are NOT usual vehicles for sale, they will be a part of some event.

IS-2

Description:

“Heavy tank IS-2 (IS-122) was the result of the IS-1 modernization and from 1944 onwards recieved a more simple vast frontal armor. As a part of the Independent guard heavy tank regiments, IS-2 was used actively to assault fortified enemy cities such as Budapest, Breslau and Berlin. In order to recognize themselves, these vehicles were carrying special recognition signs – white stripes. This model represents a tank of the 7th Guard Tank Brigade, the photography of it under the Brandenburg Gate became widely known.”
