Hello everyone!
To show you the way national voiceovers work, here’s a small video by user “lastplayed”
Musée Royal de l’Armée – Bruxelles (warning: picture heavy)
Just back from that wonderful city, I had the chance to visit the Belgian Army Museum of Military History.
Although some expositions were under renovation (unfortunately both the WWI section and most of their tanks), it was still a pretty interesting tour and I couldn’t resist taking some pictures and sharing with you guys.
Buff My Tank: T-60
The T-60 light tank is a fairly new member of the Soviet tech tree, arriving only 2 patches ago. However, according to NoobMeter data, the tank is only in 7th place by win rate and 3rd place by OP rating. How terrible! Let’s see what resources exist to get this thing to the top of the charts, as per standard Russian Bias protocol.

- it looks like no matter what happens with the KV-1S 122mm gun, the 100mm S-34 will be added either way
- the reason for KV-1S balance is that it stands out in the statistics. Not terribly, but it does. So in any case it is necessery to somehow nerf the 122mm KV-1S, but what exactly is still being discussed
- the German unhistorical engines removal was the balance team’s idea, not SerB’s.
On T-44-122′s fate
Hello, everyone!
Some of you guys reading FTR, forums or playing the 8.8 test might have noticed the new T-44-122 tank. Some of you might even wonder, how will it be possible to get it?
8.8 Tiger II loses weakspot
So, you think the Königstiger got nerfed? Check this out, another info from Orkel.
Basically, the commander’s copula was removed as an easily penetrabe weakspot. Earlier:
8.8 VK3601H and Tiger mantlet changes
Thanks to Orkel for this!
VK3601H 88mm gun mantlet got thicker in 8.8. This is how it looks:
In 8.7, it was 40-80-100, in 8.8 it is 50-100-135. Be advised that the Konisch uses a different mantlet, that is 100mm all across the space.
Gamescom Q&A
Hello everyone,
today, we have something interesting. As you probably know, I was not able to go to the Gamescom this year, but others did – in this case it was one player, who wished his nickname to remain anonymous, who met some of the developers and designers and asked some interesting questions. Of course, keep in mind that this is not a 100 percent info I can vouch for, but all of it seems kinda legit to me.
Here’s what he learned (the way he wrote it, I only corrected some typos):
- Japanese are most likely coming in 2013
- Chieftain and one more other T10 tank may come for the Brits.
- FV215B likely to be rebalanced

24.8.2013
- according to developer Marsching, the situation when one team has one tier 10 heavy as top, while the other team has only tier 8, is okay
- there existed a T-34/57 with a model 1943 turret, but it never participated in fighting and therefore it won’t be implemented into historical battles
- it is not planned to fix a “feature”, where when you equip gold consumables for silver, then silver consumables and then gold consumables again, the game will offer to buy them for gold
