- the only way how to win when the enemy captured your base (base captured! text displayed) is within the 5 seconds from the capture to destroy the entire enemy team
- the difference in damage between the Soviet and Chinese Zis-4 gun is given by the "gun specifics"
- the 5 second timer between the base capture and the end of the battle is resetted by the destruction of any vehicle - friendly or enemy
- T-90 (as a T-80 variant) AA tank will not be introduced in forseeable future, the top gun of the T-60 is not the 14,5mm MG.
- the ammo rack hitbox is not separated into shells and casings, nor is it planned
- so far, the devs haven't found proper additional skill ideas for the loader
- IS-2 with M52-T2 (SS: according to several people, it's a typo, in fact it should be the 122mm M62-T2 gun) planned as a tier 8 premium? "Theoretically - possible, practically there is not enough information on it and Soviet Union already has a tier 8 heavy"
- apparently, there is a new sophisticated bot program for WoT, that not only drives around, but also fights. SerB states that bots, that simulate regular game are not dealt with automatically, they have to be reported by players and statistics are then checked in order to deal with them
- currently there are no plans to introduce the Soviet light tank "Object 795"
- apparently ELC will not be renamed to historically correct ELC Bis
- Overlord might return to work on World of Tanks a bit more
- according to Overlord, 8.6 will contain something game-wise - a major feature, announcement will follow (SS: speculation based on hints - Havok)
- rumor has it there might be additional landing spots planned for Clanwars

Oh and something that made me laugh today:
Recognition; and I agree.
ReplyDeleteCould you speculate on those possible forthcoming chnages please?
ReplyDeleteThe 0.8.6 one? My guess would be the Havok. It's already confirmed to be tested internally (not supertest, pure internal testing) by Storm.
DeleteWhat is the 'Havok'?
DeleteIt definitely isn't Havok that he's referring to. Further down the thread on OL's blog comments he replies something like "Ohh Havok, yes that too, Forgotten about that." Will dig out the quote.
DeleteCould be the fog of war :) But we'll see.
DeleteHere ya go.
DeleteOverlord talks says : 8.6 can be more than that :) Don't wanna spoil right now (major feature is on the way).
Im telling you guys, it's implementation of HAVOK and it rocks :D that and probably independent suspension simulation as IRL. Both confirmed by SerB.

Yes, havoc is cool. Kinda forgot about it. :)
Actually, the independent suspension animation is a part of Havok. Just so you know, they keep calling Havok clientside physics :P
DeleteWhat exactly IS havok? this is the first instance ive heard of it.
DeleteA client physics system, something like PhysX if I remember it correctly
DeleteHavok, for one thing, is much older than PhysX. It's for simulating collisions and physics of rigid bodies.
DeletePhysX is a bit more than that, including also soft bodies and fluids, but its hardware acceleration is only supported on CUDA-capable GPUs.
Also, Havok doesn't necessarily have to be run on a client, it can also be used on the serverside, just as we currently have the physics in WoT.
"IS-2 with M52-T2 planned as a tier 8 premium?" probably has typo in the gun name. It should be T62-T2.
ReplyDeleteI translated it as it was there... maybe it's a typo, maybe some odd gun model.
DeleteShould actually be the M62-T2, the same gun on the IS-8 and IS-4.
DeleteIt was planned to replace all D-25-T 122mm guns.
I do not believe the M52-T2 is a real gun, but in fact a typo.
~KarlManx from NA forums
Oki, fixed
Deletewait.. M62 gun from tier IX and X on tier VIII tank? No way they will do that.. at least I hope they are not that much insane :/
DeleteHajvanho
Havok.. that's that thingy that will allow realistic suspension system? Or am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteshame for ELC, I am currently writing a full guide for it and wanted to incorporate some history in it.. I was disappointed when I realized my favorite pet has a wrong name :(
Hajvanho
Yes, you are right, amongst other things.
DeleteNo more suffering on Ensk and Port.. hell yeah!
DeleteI hope that they will also fix those little "objects" with that update.. like tractor which acts like a rock if you bump on him
What is the difference between both ZiS4s?
ReplyDeleteGood question, it weights less but I don't see other major differences, the minimum rate of fire of the Chinese one is higher but they have the same maximum rate of fire.
Deletewith "It" I meant the Chinese one.
DeleteI was always wondering about minimum and maximum rate of fire and aim time, i.e. 122mm M62-T2 has 4,51-5 rof and 2,9-3,4 aim time. I always thought it's due to turret difference but apparently I was wrong as it also shows like that for TDs without any 2nd turret.
DeleteCould somebody please explain that to me?
Thank you kind.
~poka
The different rate of fire applies for different vehicles. For example: if Gun1 is installed on Vehicle1 and Vehicle2 both, on V1 it has 2,9 aim time and on V2 2,7 aim time, its aim time will be noted as 2,7-2,9
DeleteDevs haven't found loader skills? Please... I wrote this thread MONTHS ago.

Just on the topic of the Object 795, here is a blueprint drawing of the tank complete with some technical information on it.

Nice, thank you :)
DeleteDual core support would be nice :)
ReplyDeleteThey said its already implemented ...
Deletefinally they acknowledge the bot program I sent them info about a while ago.
ReplyDeleteI think the bot problem is at the utter bottom of WGs To Do list.
ReplyDeleteFirts, cleaning out bots and idle accounts would hit their
"we have X million players, we are the biggest online game" thing
quite badly.
You can check this out by checking how many "insert your name" and how many variatons (and games played) you have from the names...
A lot.
And WG allocating more resources (money) to find them...
Dream on.
Not going to happen.
And seeing how the SEA server handles farmers/resellers of accounts.
Well, it is basically a norm there.
SEA does NOT equal Chinese server. Not sure about the SEA but it's the Chinese private-run server that is notorious for this shit
DeleteNone of that crap over here on the SEA server.
DeleteEvery 100th or so game you might encounter a bot, but that's the same on any other server.
- the only way how to win when the enemy captured your base (base captured! text displayed) is within the 5 seconds from the capture to destroy the entire enemy team
ReplyDeletewrong!
Capped the base alone in my T59, Base captured message appeared, got tracked, and nothing more, all cap points gone.
No, the devs got it right. What you experience (IF it was like you say) was probably some glitch/lag.
DeleteCorrect. There is a exclamation mark at the end of "base captured" that seals the deal after 5s. Then there is 5s after that before game ends. You were hit most likely before the exclamation mark ! appeared.
DeleteBut if after the exclamation mark appears any tank gets destroyed game doesn't end (black screen, garage and statistics) for another 5 seconds. I had plenty of such games where enemy or our team was able to get a draw when the difference between caps was even 50 cap points.
If anyone has a replay where a team wins a match by resetting the 5 second timer with a TK, we must see this.
ReplyDeleteI really dont know what could be more major feature than Havok. And the suspension needs to be fucking fixed already!!!! im sick tired to get super slow downed and stuck by those freaking brick walls, just because the tracks clips through them walls..
ReplyDeleteCant wait for Havok!!
Skill for a loader? +1% to skills of the whole crew for playing accordion and singing cheerful soldier songs, like Tomek in "Four tankers and a dog" ;)))
ReplyDeleteSo the Obj 907 has 122mm gun with shitty gun depression like his Chinese Colleague?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Overlord's comment on you SS is fun, but it only shows how bad their PR is. They're using people like you, who will post translations and leaked pics with comments and are happy with that? So sad... The EU Q&A section is cruel joke of some drunk WG employee, they asking us for questions, and gives nothing in return? What sick joke it is?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you mean. Are you mad at me for posting translations, at Overlord for appreciating it or Wargaming for not doing it themselves?
DeleteI think the point why Silentstalker (and also me) had to laugh is, that you can understand the abbreviation SS differently. You can read, that "Overlord is a big fan of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) who did a great job" ^^
DeleteAnd I'm pretty sure that isnt what Overlord wanted to say ;)
Anonymous = Kriegschatten
Anyone who sees SS and goes "OMG nazis" when it clearly means Silentstalker is a complete retard.
DeleteTake it easy :) You're doing great job Frank, I visit your blog everyday to read about the news of wot.
DeleteMy point is that it's sad that WG is terribad at posting such news and contact with the EU community that way. And all they can do is to ban you, then say to do that you're doing great job.
... just needed to take the opportunity on OL's blog to point that misunderstanding out :)
DeleteTake it easy, history is history: "SS" got alot of meanings to use it in, there are hundreds of languages.
Out of my own experience, strangely germans are reacting most sensible out of all nations on that.
Oh I dont react as sensible as you might think (otherwise i wouldnt be joking), but since im german you might misunderstand me if i write english here cause im not that experienced in it. So plz dont understand me false, Silentstalker, im not one of the "omg nazis". Instead, i know the history of my country quite well to know that every participating country in ww2 had their "dark sides" and cruel actions (but also of course good ones), not only the germans.
DeleteSo I'm sry that i wrote a bit unclear in my first post on your great blog (which i follow since december btw).
Its just, that i really had to laugh when i read Overlords post. Because in germany, the first meaning of SS is Schutzstaffel (might be different in other countries). I know very well it means Silentstalker, but the thought of a russian posting this was just to funny :)
I hope you understand me and dont despise me for my statement :) Keep up your good work.
