Czechoslovak Main Branch in WoT Terms – Part 2

Posted on by

Part 1 can be found here.

Hello everyone,

welcome to the second part of the final summary of Czechoslovak vehicles. Now, I have some news for you.

Before you go all “omg this will not be implemented” – I have news for you. It apparently will, or at least they will try. Wargaming recently (last weeks) contacted a number of Czech institutions and historians for info about the Czech vehicles, specifically those I am using in this branch and in the order I am using them (I recieved a copy of the Wargaming letter, which was sent by A.Kalinin to a Czech historian, so I know – A.Kalinin is a Russian historian, who in the past wrote about the LT Vz.38, he knows Yuri Pasholok for example).

In fact, I also know that they are planning an archive trip in person, so that’s good. Unfortunately, in the letter they used a name I actually made up (there are no official one, so one name is as good as another), which led to some small confusion, but that was cleared in the meanwhile.

Of course, many things might go… not so well with it, but generally consider it a sign of things to come, perhaps next year. You know, it’s a nice feeling that you actually helped to shape the game a little bit, I guess this is how Daigensui felt with the Japanese tanks :)

Tier 7 – T-34/100

Short ingame description:

A project by Konštrukta Trenčín from April 1954 to improve the firepower of the T-34 by installing the Soviet 100mm D-10T gun into a modified turret. Two variants were proposed. The project was judged as problematic due to low rate of fire and poor ergonomics and was scrapped in June 1954.

Tier: 7
Crew: 5 (commander, driver, gunner, loader, radioman)
Hitpoints: 1000 (1100)
Viewrange: 360 (370)
Weight: 34,5 tons

- (tied to another discussion, specifically about hull weapons and tanks aiming by turning) according to SerB, the hull 75mm howitzer of the Char B1 was useless, that’s why Germans removed these guns when they captured the vehicles
- according to SerB, removing the render range limit would not cause more camping
- the Charioteer (upcoming tier 8 British TD) will have the 105mm L7 as top gun after all (for some reason, there is also a photo of Winston Churchill inside the Archer model)
- developers are still putting together plans for 2015
- Storm states that increasing penetration RNG and reducing shell damage when hitting spots like hatches would only cause boring campfest
- Storm confirms that the IM requirements that were leaked (the outrageous ones, like 20k damage/blocked on Maus) will not be in the release version, the release version will be “based on what statistics tell us”

World of Tanks is Family Fun!

….or so the “Yole family” thinks in what is a thinly veiled PR article on the Chronicle portal. Check this out for giggles :) Thanks to whoever sent it to me… or did I find it somewhere? Can’t remember, sorry.

To quote the article:

The Yole family, Wade (48), Christine (45), Paige (17) and Cailyn (15) have been playing World of Tanks together for four years and they reckon it might be so.

I find this part really funny:

No, I don’t find any misogyny in WOT. This is because you really can’t tell the genders of the players. Unlike other games you can’t hear people’s voices or see anyone’s faces. There are no profiles or picture setups, it’s just a user name of your choice and that is the only information other players know about you. Wargaming is also really on top of it when it comes to protecting their players.

Totally friendly!
