Since I promised to promote this: check out the VBAddict Battle Simulator – a tool for battle analysis. Looks useful.

- players breaking the rules too much ingame? “How terrible…”
- Object 430U will not come anytime soon
- the Intuition perk is working as intended apparently
- Czechoslovak tree will not come as a separate tree, but as a part of the EU tree, SerB states that they will maintain a significant presence within their boundaries, for example with heavies it’s really bad (SS: Czechs have three possible heavy tanks as far as I remember, if we count out the IS copies: two very lowtier vehicles (2/3) and Tiger with a 75mm autoloader)
- dynamic tank characteristics in hangar (SS: as in, adjusted by crew skill) are planned

- the XP price for unlocking Object 140? “Wait for the test” (SS: it’s roughly the same as the price for T-62A, eg. 200k XP)
- there will be no “special” subtitles for national voiceovers, because there are currently enough indicators what’s going on (tank being hit, burning etc.)

- too many draws on Redshire map? “How terrible…”

Just a few random answers from Storm:

- on the “admission” of the flawed MM earlier today: at some points it does put a tier 10 vehicles opposing tier 8′s (as in, one team has tier 10 tank and the other doesn’t)
- the abovementioned bug will be fixed in 8.8
- the rating mentioned in ASAP video is brand new, WG-made algorithm, the exact formula won’t be disclosed
- the rating was developed for a long time, Storm believes it’s well-made
- there won’t be any possibility to hide your rating
- Serene Coast was reworked a lot, it’s very different
- reload timer in seconds will be in 8.8
- tank description on minimap will be implemented, but not anytime soon
- the reload timer will take damaged ammorack/dead gunner into account
- random/platoon/company stats won’t be separated in 8.8

- Storm states that SU-152 in elite state is properly balanced
- there will also be an ingame event discount indicator (SS: as in “These tanks, items, services are currently in discount…”)
- Q: “What is the future of arty?” A: “Happy future awaits her”
- Storm admits that the frontal IS-4 armor slope (61 degrees) is not correct in game, it differs by a few degrees, it will be fixed in the future
- it’s “too early” for 2nd German TD line questions
