- the rumor about the introduction of another premium vehicle with an autoloader (SS: T1E6 has an autoloader, hence the "another") is just that: a rumor
- the artillery dozer blades and recoil braces, present on some arties, act as spaced armor
- French premium Marder I and the B2 arty won't be transferred to German tree
- according to SerB, the high-angle turret roof penetrations are okay
- most of the map developers that made the first Himmelsdorf, Karelia and other maps are still working at Wargaming. Generally all the maps up to the Pearl River came mostly from these people
- the T-100 1964 Soviet light tank is not currently planned for WoT
- the experimental SPG GAZ-75, IT-45 and IT-76 will be disclosed in due time
- Q: "Why can WoT tweaker disable some of the options your client cannot?" A: "Because on minimal recommended configuration the game can run without the tweaker"
- Prokhorovka encounter probability was not increased
- according to SerB, Prokhorovka encounters don't end too soon with low scores
- according to SerB, the player-described problem where encounter battles appear too often when encounter is enabled but assault is not does not exist
- premium T-44? "When it's done it's done"
- premium T-44 will have limited MM and the same gun as T-34/85? "Tests will show"
- Q: "Does having a tank camouflage have any negative effect on the tank?" A: "Yes, kiddie noobs kill such players with special fury while yelling 'kill the wallet warrior!!!111'" (SS: here a direct translation doesn't work: the Russians have a special term for what is called "pubbies" on US server and "zombies", "lemmings" and "scrubs" on EU server - the term is "shkololo", which is a combination of words "shkolnik" (schoolkid) and "trololo" - not that it's important, just interesting. Another russian word "shkolota" has pretty much the same meaning in WoT context).
- Sturmtiger: "when it's done it's done"
- Q: "Is the game set so that German tanks don't get effective armor increase when angling the tank?" A: "No, not in general, that was just made for your tanks specially."

Also, you might have noticed from various forum posts that Wargaming started to sue the owner of the Chinese WoT copy. I didn't really consider that relevant to the game (as most of it is speculation anyway, it's not like Wargaming will tell us how it's going), so I didn't write it earlier.

    1. Copyright/patent infringement I assume

    2. Yeah, you mentioned earlier that Chinese WoT is 1/1 copy of original

    4. Sorry! I This is not a reply for you.

    5. Before you describing WoT as "bolshevik shit", have you ever tried War Thunder?
      I hate WG's bs game balance and thier "historically accurate" alot, but to be honest, they are not even doing Russian bias right.

      Delete
    6. Hmm IMO soviet armor fits better to game mechanics than germans or french or brits. Only US tanks mainly to good aiming time and gun depression are on par with soviets.
      WT is not that close to "soviet bias"like WoT, maybe on AB some planes seems to OP (mainly due to good reload times, some tiers tweaking also could be helpful) but on HB there is only one king - Ze Germans.

      Delete
    7. And there's no problem when german "planes"/"tanks" are OP only reason to cry is if they are not OP?

      ... I will never understand those ru-bias-cryers
      especially cause in WoT there's only one nation u could arguer about being op : US.

      Delete
    8. They will find it hard to sue for copyright infringement and especially and patent claims. The game was based on a different platform and had enough differences to it as not to be a direct copy, only have to look at the amount of games about that are copies of eachother but with enough differences to make them 'different'.

      None of the maps were WG ones, tank stats were different etc.. only things that were simialr were cosmetic so with that said anyone who produces aa game with tanks that are conatined within WOT will be sued? i seriously doubt it, any lawyer with decent knowledge will get this case dismissed very quickly.

    9. German tanks nerfed? Ha. Don't play them as Soviet/American brainless brawlers and you'll see them shine. German tanks are snipers, their accurate guns with good pen wreak havoc on open maps.

      Unfortunately, a lot of players only know one play style - drive ahead to the enemy and shoot from the close range. That brainless behavior does not suit German tanks - but German tankers weren't that stupid in real life as well! They killed their enemies from distance, long before those were able to shoot back!

  3. 'premium T-44? "When it's done it's done"'

    Just a quick question about this: Will they change the current T-44 into a premium tank or is the 'premium T-44' a tank like the T-44?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Current T-44 will stay as is, premium one will be T-44 _prototype_ "T-44-85".

      Delete
    2. It will be called T-44A.. at least that was stated earlier on :P

      Delete
    3. Nope, T-44A is enhanced variant of august 1944, not early february prototype variant T-44-85.

      Delete
    4. Hmmm, good to know.. tnx :)

      Delete
    5. I liked the T-43 and the T-44. I might get this one if it's good :)
      Being a premium will help me overcome the dire need for gold in russian mediums

      Delete
    6. But it wont be as strong as the normal T-44. Very likely it will use the stock gun from the T-34/85 as it was a prototype, probably with better aim time and RoF though.

      Delete
    7. I suppose it might work like Panther/M10 works now.

      It works well due to limited MM, good hp pool and a gun that has acceptable pen with noram ammo and quite decent pen on gold.

      If prem T44 had top gun from T-34-85 and T43, maybe with rof or aim time tweak, it should be fun tank to drive.

  4. - Q: "Why can WoT tweaker disable some of the options your client can?" A: "Because on minimal recommended configuration the game can run without the tweaker"

    1. There was a typo. Correct version of the Q is: Why can WoT tweaker disable some of the options your client cannot?

    2. It's embarrassing on just the 3 threads I have bothered to post in how stupid people are. And I don't even begin to declare myself to be some sort of tank expert, nor long time player, nor expert in game but the shear stupidity that exists on the forums boggles the mind to such an extent that words cannot express the gravity of the issue.

      I do agree that idiot questions deserve answers in accordance.

    3. Stop whining. The Germans already have more tanks and more "options" to choose from then any other. On the whole there were just as many failure designs for Russian tanks as German ones. You just don't always hear about them.

    here in SEA, there's "SEAtards" and "[][][] 555+" (actually thai- the boxes are just part of the fail character rendering the client has for english clients and 555+ is basically "hahaha").

    1. roflmao, who cares about those? Another soviet/german copies? Since Romania was on the Nazi side, they would have either german tanks, or captured soviet ones... or horses, that would work...

    2. They were not on the Nazi side. It was more of an "You do as we say and we wont invade and take over your country".

      Guess what? They invaded, in the end, anyways.

    3. Romanian tanks will most likely appear in the EU tree. They had some interesting designs, such as the Maresal tank destroyer, TACAM TD series, R35 converted into a tank destroyer and the modified LT-35 (R-2)

    4. back then romania was 2003 Irak. Full of oil, everyone wanted it. Had to ally with somebody. They provided oil to the nazis, while Stalin provided heavy resources to help Hitler conquer most of Europe.

      And now they consider themselves heroes. LOL GTFO Stalin was as sick as Hitler. He actually wanted the whole Europe for himself. A communist Europe. We would all have spoken russian now if it wasnt for USA and the brits.

    7. Poland wouldn't be comunist during the Cold War if Churchill didn't trust that sick Stalin....(During the Yalta conference)

      Delete
    8. Churchill didn't trust Stalin half as far as he could throw the man (ie. not at all) and had a real soft spot for the Poles; didn't mean shit since he couldn't do squat about what the Soviets did or didn't do in Central Europe. (He did dream up the aptly named Operation Unthinkable - look it up - which after due analysis the British general staff concluded would NOT have ended well...)
      Didn't help that for whatever reason Roosevelt *did* more or less trust Stalin, although given that he was pretty much dying of polio at the time he can probably be excused for some lapses of judgement.

      Also? SUX 2 B small fry between the big boys, doubly so if you have the misfortune of possessing strategically vital resources. Way of the world since year Stick and Stone regardless of whether you like it or not. Or as one Athenian envoy apparently once explained it to the representatives of a client city unhappy with the blatantly exploitative thalassocracy, "justice, as the world goes, only applies between equals in power; while the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must."

    9. >anything is better than communism.
      Yeah, just look at Spain or Greece, they're both excellent examples of what happens when fascists pigs and capitalist pigs make love and have a child.

    - not quite yet,
    but there are plans for romanian strategic bombers and romanian space launch vehicles

    1. First of all , learn some history before you start trolling.
      First self-propelled airplane was built by Traian Vuia and flied on 18-th March 1906
      First jet plane was built by Henry Coanda in 1910.
      So if Communism not come over Romania, maybe first strategic bomber should be constructed by a Romanian.

      Thanks SS, information about Romanian tanks are accurate.
