Attention! For once (and this time only), this post is in Czech, because I honestly won’t translate this garbage. Wouldn’t make much sense anyway. If you understand it, so be it. If you don’t, maybe it’s better this way.
WGA Ambassadors
Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/294157-wargaming-ambassadors-have-arrived/
In the “heat” of the Stalin rage, 8.8 patch, 8.9 patch preview and Golden Joystick flame, one thing kinda “slipped thru the cracks” on EU forums: the implementation of Wargaming Ambassadors.
What actually IS a Wargaming Ambassador? Hell if I know. The thread above doesn’t offer too many details. Apparently it’s a bunch of… I dunno, WG employees or players, who are representing Wargaming on third party forums and websites, probably to make it look better.

Firday 13th – a good day for translations :)
- according to The_Chieftain, both M36B1 (M4A3 hull with M36 turret) and T53 (not sure what that is) are viable candidates for tier 6 US premium tank destroyer
- Q: “It is now possible to view the amount of tanks I have in garage in the new stats for my account, why is it not possible for other accounts?” A: “For the same reason we your account status is not shown to everyone you meet” (SS: as in, some privacy protection)
- “vehicles that won’t make a full branch” (SS: the player asks specifically about Israeli tanks) will be “definitely implemented in some way”
Golden Joystick – a day later
Hello everyone,
yesterday, I wrote that (unlike last year) I wouldn’t be voting for the Golden Joystick for WoT in the Online Game category. A while after that post was made, the EU annoucement came.
Last year, WG – when asking for the award – offered an… incentive. Some might call it bribe. At that time I defended that policy, but I think we all deep inside had the feeling of “something off”. Yea, it was a bribe and we took it.
“Stalin Remover” mod for 0.8.8
Author: KawaGreen
Original source: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/295740-088-remove-stalin-inscriptions/
Hello everyone,
I don’t normally recommend or write about mods (I don’t use any at this point anyway), but this is interesting. Presenting you with KawaGreen’s Stalin Remover mod :)
It comes in two versions:
a) Stalin remover
Can be downloaded here
b) Stalin hunter
This replaces the text with a large red box, so you can immediately spot a stalinist in your battle and hunt him down. Very useful, will install this myself :)
Can be downloaded here
Instalation: Unzip contents of folder in …\res_mods\0.8.8
“A SU-100 that shot an American ship”
Hello everyone,
this interesting story comes from Perrinu (EU). So, this is a Cuban SU-100 from the Cuban Museum of Revolution:
There is nothing special about it, except… it allegedly shot a ship, while being commanded by El Presidente Fidel Castro himself during the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 :)
8.8 graphics glitch
HUEHUEHUE – I forgot how to TD!
This bug appears in 8.8. Not sure what the conditions of triggering it are, looks funny tho :)
Storm on 8.8 settings bug
Source: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/243504.html
Storm:
A quick question about the bugs in settings in 8.8:
The profanity filter setting doesn’t get saved – we know. But a lot of new reports are posted, that the saving of some other settings in the “Game” settings tab don’t get saved. Can you confirm that?
I can say straight away that on our test computers everything is alright. There might be some individual server peculiarities of separate accounts, because in 0.8.8 we transferred many of the settings server-side.
SS:
From the comments, it seems that for example the camera settings don’t get saved (it gets resetted each time a player goes to battle), Storm counters that this was actually intentional (oh god, why? it’s annoying as fuck), but he doesn’t know why, because there was no time to deal with it.
Apart from that, it seems only the profanity filter is buggy, Storm states there probably won’t be a hotfix. The bug about the flashing Service icon is also known. Apart from that there seems to be a bug in the aim reticle saving (I can confirm that, they were screwed up the first time I ran the game in 8.8).
Anyway, will continue to monitor this and if there is any solution, I’ll let you know.

- SerB states that the whole E-series was based on the Tiger II design, therefore the E-50 lower frontal plate was nerfed accordingly to 100mm
- in order for the Leopard 1 to have the modern turret with spaced armor of later versions, SerB states that it would also have to have the T-72 as its opponent, and that won’t happen.
- SerB on potential Israeli branch: “They don’t have enough vehicles for a full branch”
- if you see garage interface issues, such as incorrect XP calculations etc., it can be a result of mods installed (such as Jove’s modpack)
- SerB on new rating: “Real men use only two things to measure player quality (and one of them is winrate)” and “I don’t know (why we made the rating) but I don’t care”
