Hall of Shame – another Nazi edition
Hello everyone,
today, we caught several juicy nazis for the hall of shame. Nazis is something I hate, so this special Hall of Shame edition is dedicated to them.
Apparently, nazis can’t even finish a sentence without one another, eh, BenHeizer and BeRlin_444?

Storm on 8.8 matchmaker:
Immediately after the 8.8 went live, there have been many complains regarding the matchmaker. One of the main ones was about the increased waiting time before battles. This has been confirmed. We are dealing with it now.
16.9.2013
SerB seems angry today, some of his answers are rude, full of typos and trolling. When called on that, he said it’s because the “amount of idiots here has increased”
- Q: “SerB, last year (the idea of winning Golden Joystick) caused enthusiasm amongst players (unlike this year), what do you think about such a fundamental change in player attitude?” A: “I don’t care” (later he says that people are “celebrating” WoT GJ loss too early and they need to chill out and he closes with “Whine, whine never changes”)
- SerB doesn’t like swearing in ingame chat, as “there is always a non-vulgar word that can be used and is no less offensive”, for example “noobies” instead of “retards” (SS: this is an approximation of what SerB said, in Russian there are two not rude word for noobs: Alleni (which comes from the name Alyosha if I recall correctly) – a generic name for noobs, or Oleni (deers), that’s why so many Russian videos about noobs have deer pictures in them)
On the 8.8 lags
Hello everyone,
as you probably know, the 8.8 have already been recognized as an issue in patch 8.8. The problem is, even with low ping and stable connection with no packet loss, there still is significant lag (the green light next to the ping meter blinks red all the time) for no apparent reason. I myself have this a LOT on EU1 (less on EU2, but for EU2 I have significantly higher ping, for EU1 it’s 50-60, for EU2 80-90).
Girls und Panzer + WoT campaign in Japan
Hello everyone,
just a quick update from Zorro (EU) about what’s going on in Japan with the Girls und Panzer and WoT cooperation. The text is his, I just made some typo correction and such:
From 13 September to 16 September a Type 95 Ha-Gô was/is patrolling in Tokyo. In reality it’s a truck for transport the Type 95 Ha-Gô.
Word Filter fix

Hello everyone,
as you probably all know, there is currently a bug in the game, that prevents you from disabling the word filter (censorship) of messages.
This can be fixed by replacing the messenger_oldictionary.xml with an empty file. You can download the fixed file here. Just copy it to the “World_of_Tanks\res\text” folder (don’t forget to make a backup of the old file, just in case).
15.9.2013
Very little today
- SerB would like to add destructable/deformable ground to WoT, but so far it is beyond technical possibilities
- SerB on Golden Joystick and the wave of negative feedback on it: “Personally, to be honest, I don’t care about it”
- VK3002M having too few hitpoints? “How terrible…”
