Ensign’s Q&A 18
Q: What kind of crew did the KV-85 have? I found a source that gives it as commander-loader, driver, mechanic, gunner. Is there something about the KV-85 that prevented the mechanic from loading?
A: That’s almost correct, you just need to swap some punctuation: commander, loader, driver-mechanic, gunner. Soviet tanks had no dedicated mechanic crewman, the driver performed those duties.
9.11.2013
Hello everyone,
Overlord posted an interesting idea about MM rewards, go check it out :)
- SerB states that (regarding the WT Panzer IV) the Panzer IV chassis could carry a 128mm gun – he recommends to go and have a look at Waffenträger on 38(t) chassis in Kubinka, it also could hold the 128mm and 150mm gun
- angle of impact has no effect on track armor thickness (SS: in case you didn’t know, tracks do have an armor value, usually around 20mm)
- T14 appearing as the only tier 5 tank in tier 6 battles despite being too weak fort that? “How terrible…”
8.9 Feedback – Pz.Sfl.IVc
Hello everyone,
today, we are going to have a look at the new tier 5 tank destroyer that came with 8.9 – the Pz.Sfl.IVc.
Since 8.9 came out, this strange vehicle has earned several names: Flaktoaster, Bangbus, Flakbus or just “the Toaster”. Nevertheless, this vehicle continues this German TD line trend of very fragile yet open-topped vehicles. If you think about it, the trend is actually clear: T4 to T7 vehicle move from very comfortable to very uncomfortable traverse-wise (the higher the tier, the worse the traverse), this is changed only by the T8 vehicle, that has a turret.
Winter Mod for 0.8.9
I usually don’t usually promote mods, but this is really nice. Remember the Winter mod that wrote about not so long ago? In short: a couple of Russian players along with Locastan reworked all the maps to resemble winter. Pretty neat, lots of work invested into it.
Well, it has entered the beta. Mod’s thread on EU forums is here, you can download the mod directly here – but beware, it’s huge (2,6 gigs).
Hall of Shame
Welcome to the new issue of Hall of Shame, where worst retards of WoT are put on display :)
First, we have PTS84 here – apparently, he really likes Polish players. And genocide.

Hello everyone,
the table I posted before was not authentic. This one is. I apologize for the mistake.
Invite codes for EU server
Hello everyone,
need an invite code for EU server? Here’s how you can get it. According to this post, Czech community coordinator Karlie is giving them away for free!
“Invite codes sent to the requests in this thread. If anyone needs a code for someone you know, you can try me”
So, either (if you are Czech) you can post your request into this thread (only in Czech), or you can write her a PM in English, she speaks English very well :)
Edit (Friday): Apparently no more codes left. Looks like WG needs to restock. You can try her later, but for now they are out. Closing comments.
Clantalk: Inteview with Storm
Source: http://www.clantalk.net/t/very-interesting-interview-with-storm-about-wot-in-2014/16309
Hello everyone,
Clantalk portal translated some parts of the recent interview with Storm by Russian videomaker and streamer Jove. Special thanks to Daigensui for letting me know about it. Here it is.
Translation of video from discussion with Storm (by Jove) – (paraphrased from Russian by ClanTalk.net):
Q at 00:53. Patch 0.8.0 was really nice, why were the patches after that underwhelming.
A. There were a lot of work in progress about better graphics, and models, and this work isn’t fully finished thus cannot be rolled into the patches. Perhaps we should have been more active in communicating what we are working on for players.
Q at 1:45. Are you happy with the SPG nerf, did you achieve what you wanted?
A. We cannot look at emotions, we have to look at stats. At top tiers there are 2 SPG per game, which is appropriate. At lower levels there are less, so we will gradually buff mid- and low-tier SPGs until there are more.
