Hello everyone,

Storm posted another “microdigest” post about what will happen in 8.10 – this time, it’s about bug fixes in 8.10. Storm states he’s slowly putting a list of them together. Amongst other things to appear in 8.10 will be (the list is not complete):

- from 8.10, “soft” objects (fences, benches, stone walls etc.) will be penetrable by AP and APCR shells – penetrating such an object will reduce shell’s penetration capability and the object will get destroyed
- fixed statistics bug appearing on some tanks and with some players after 8.9
- fixed the armor of the “IS-3″ turret on WZ-111 1-4

So, according to the SEA server info, there is a transfer open from SEA to US. Vietnamese region only.

- historically, the T-54 before T-62A is correct, there will apparently be no new tier 9 tank to replace the T-54 as a T-62 predecessor (it will stay as it is now)
- the crew XP per battle value has an error (displays half of what it should be), it’s just an UI error (will be fixed)

Hello everyone,

recently, the Russian community discovered the vbaddict site and its map statistics. One of the prominent Russian streamers, Murazor, made a video, where he basically criticizes Wargaming for map disbalance and all that. Run-of-the-mill map moaning is not exactly something interesting. What is interesting is the fact that Storm appeared in the comment section to write about the vbaddict site.

According to his posts, the new map Northwest is not imbalanced (when it comes to base winrate, there is 2 percent difference). Regarding the site itself, he writes:

“I don’t know how they collected and processed the data but in the end they got some garbage. There are many disbalances, but other – not those they wrote about.”

Storm later states that he is aware there are imbalanced maps and they will be reworked in order to fix it. He also states he cannot post the exact list of maps scheduled for rework, but from his earlier posts we know Redshire and Highway are considered problematic, as are the Steppes (where a problem arose with the arty nerf).

From other info:

- there is a possibility roaming will NOT be implemented at all, there are a lot of issues, including technical ones
- the roaming we see on EU server is confirmed by Storm to be the test of the concept
- Redshire map is the leader, when it comes to camping
- Redshire will be reworked in the patch coming after 8.10 (SS: prolly 9.0)
- there is a slight disbalance on the Northwest map, it will be fixed
- Storm states that the site itself is fine, just the statistics are off

Apparently there will be an Ultimate Factory (National Geographic channel) show on Wargaming. Overlord posted airing times for each region.

- flower camo is not planned
- apparently, there is a general change planned for the Sixth Sense, camouflage and spotting mechanism, everythign will come at once
- there is a horizontal limit on the distance a shell flies (700m, after which it disappears), but there is no limit apparently on the vertical scale, so a shell can fly 10km up
- HEAT shells will be further detonated by destructable objects, only AP and subcaliber shells will penetrate them
- it’s possible there will be settings presets for the future in WoT client (“for headphones”, “for making video” etc.), these presets apparently won’t be stored server-side
- WoWp release was “normal”
- there will be a big WoWp optimization patch in December
- camo crew perk (SS: or any perk) has no influence on tank MM weight
- it’s possible there will be unique camos given out for finishing “quests” (tough missions)
