Update: Storm on 0.8.6

Just a few more tidbits from Storm's comments:

- 0.9.0 (SS: for which the complete rework of camo mechanism is planned) will come much later
- regarding the mentioned economy changes: "Many people will be surprised."
- core mechanics changes in 0.8.6 have already been disclosed, eg. for example more changes in penetration mechanism won't come in 0.8.6
- during the 0.8.6 arty changes, when you have for example a on tier 6 only improved suspension unlocked and it gets moved to tier 7, both the tier 6 and tier 7 vehicles will have a new suspension unlocked. If you have a new suspension unlocked for tier 8 arty and it gets moved to tier 10, which has no new suspension, you will apparently lose that XP (eg. recieve no compensation)
- 7/42 companies won't come in 8.6 or 8.7
- currently, only one new map is developed atm
- there are currently no concrete plans for buffing the premium accounts (the plans for that were revealed earlier)

    I think they are going to move non-premium users money and/or xp earning closer to Premium accounts(if that makes sense).

    Or worse case scenario they going to nerf premium tank money printing and Tier 5 again :o

      Maybe you won't have to: have a premium account, win, survive the battle, use a few ammo only, to make money in a t10 game?

      Nah.

      If you cannot afford premium account, you should probably get a better job instead of playing computer games.

    I thought the changes for the camo system will come in 0.8.6, or does Storm means another change?

      He means a full rework rather than the little things they're doing this patch.

    I shall remain cautiously positive about economy changes, as so far 0.8.6 is shaping to be a very well thought out patch.
    What worries me though, is this:
    "- currently, only one new map is developed atm"

    Well, we had some specials going with boosts to high tier (IX and X) credit income, it could have been tests to see how the meta would react on it.
    Afaik those events increased tier X participation in battle giving the MM less trouble balancing teams and artillery in particular. So my bets are on increased profitability on higher tiers.

    Aww, I thought they were going to modify HE mechanics so heavy armour/spall liners would be more effective against arty.

    I think it will be a tier X profitability buff, but not for arty, so that there will be relatively more tanks in TX compared to arty

    T10 buff.... I would highly doubt so... With premium I earn average 25-50k PROFIT on my tier 10 heavy per game...
