As you know, the patch 8.4 has been announced (comes out tomorrow on Russian server). English full patchnotes for example here.

- when the enemy tanks damagets your periscope (rangefinder, vision device) while being out of range for the damaged visor (but not the repaired one), it will disappear with the next cycle of visibility check (SS: the visibility checks frequency varies from splits of second to up to 3 seconds I think)
- damaging the rangefinder (periscope, visor) works even for open-topped vehicles (SS: there it apparently counts as the binoculars being destroyed)
- the top German (Bundeswehr) LT's and meds won't be Bundeswehr-green, they will be gray
- the devs won't remove the possibility of changing your tank models (remodelling)
- HESH shells in game work just like HE shells, this won't change
- Q: "There are rumors the IS-7 will have the speed increased in 8.5, is it true?" A: "Interesting, where did you here these rumors?" (and after the player posted the source - some blog post) "Ah, okay. Not rumors. I don't read posts/suggestion for tank rebalance at all, because history shows that they're wrong in 99 percent of cases."
- no plans to allow the crews to retrain for tanks of other nations, not even for gold
- there is no special medal for dealing damage, as dealing damage is already rewarded with silver
- Conqueror will not be made a premium tank
- torque isn't take into consideration when calculating engine performance
- Leopard and Luchs don't have historically drum-autoloaders, but magazines
- VK3002DB a part of the second medium branch? "Wait for official announcement"
- the VK7201 FaiLowe isn't a fake (confirmed by Storm)
- New branch of German heavies planned? "No comment"
- Sturmtiger will not come in 2013

  4. Ugh, I hate the fact the VK7201 is actually coming out. Is they are going to replace the Lowe for a different Tier 8 Heavy?

    1. It's not necesserily coming out. Storm just confirmed it isn't a fake.

    2. But it means it will be coming out sooner or later. I premise later since I have the Lowe Premium Tank @ 2,002 Battles. And I even have Scout On it.

    3. SS already informed us that supertesting doesn't mean that tank will get to the game. Personally I really hope that they will give us something better, at least for X, agile and with nice firepower, and not a shitty 15cm with ~230 pen...

    4. True, but also get rid of a Tier 8 Heavy Premium Tank for a Shitty Tier 10 Heavy Tank is kinda lame...

    1. Because it's a leak. The info shouldn't be even out yet.

    2. Ah well still it doesn't make sense to comfirm the Fail lowe that looks like so far no one likes in the blog, but not the M60 everyone myself included seems to favor =o But i wonder what else is being super tested..I do like to get a picture of what lies ahead.. you are lucky to get some sort of headsup with your contact bud =]

    "Depression angle of 75 mm Gun M3 L/37 gun changed from 10 degrees to 5 degrees"

    That's a pretty big nerf for an already fairly useless tank.

    1. Ohh man...
      It was really needed... That tank is so OP...
      Why do they nerf that tank? It already has lower HP than other premium T5 meds (480 vs 610) and the same time it has no advantage: no mobility, no pen, no accuracy, no armor...
      and now this... no gun depression...

      Sometimes I really don't know what the f*ck is wrong with them...
      And it's a buyable prem tank on the RU server, now they nerf it directly so hard? :O

    2. one cannot simply compare this tank with other tier 5 tanks because it has lower MM wich makes a big diffrence

      Delete
    3. I compared it to other T5 premium meds (matilda, matilda black prince, T-25, RamII - the latter two has no lower MM, but has nice mobility and/or nice guns)
      What does the E4 have?
      Now they wanna take away the nice gun depression - even KV-1 has 7 degrees!

      Delete
    4. They already nerfed the hell out of it with an accuracy debuff (unannounced?) sometime back. I don't play it anymore because of that, so I guess they are welcome to debuff it again. Clearly they don't want anyone playing it.

    5. Stieger11: T-25 mobility is not exactly best. Slow acceleration and when you need to turn you feel like you are playing some heavy tank. You cant overmaneuver some enemy with T-25 because when you was able to pass enemy tank you have problem to turn arount it and your turret is turning so slow that you cant shoot at your target.

  8. - Sturmtiger will not come in 2013

    Hope it never comes, doesn't fit in this game.
