The Chieftain's Hatch: Equipping the Force, Pt1

Just finished reading my "slack Sunday" favorite article,

this time, The_Chieftain takes us to what was on the minds of those in charge of how and what to equip the Force: http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/21/The_Chieftains_Hatch_Equipping_The_Force/

A good read, as usual.

10.05.2015 Q&A

Here it is:

- 0.9.8 features "individual discounts on premium account" - WG will tell details "a bit later";
- Developers know about the screwed Super Pershing armor in the 0.9.8 test, it will be fixed;
- Despite the fact Wargaming recently showed AMX 50 100 HD model, the vehicle in HD in 0.9.8 will be AMX 50 120 - 50 100 will come "a bit later";
- It's possible Mauschen will appear in next 0.9.8 test round;
- The new "Domination" mode in the test makes people lose way too many credits, this will apparently be fixed;
- It's possible (but not sure) that Swamp will be removed altogether in the future;
- In the current iteration of "Domination" (garage battles), TD's are missing entirely, this is intentional.

And the daily dose, Russian Navy Seals:

So adorable... at 0:36 he is like: "I'm tired of your sh** Ivan"

Supertester models from 9.8

Physics test post 0.9.8

Hello warriors,

some fresh info from the supertest. The 0.9.8 patch is supposed to come out at the end of May as you probably already know. It is possible that after 0.9.8 is released, developers will start another round of  motion physics test. Improved motion physics should arrive in 0.9.9 or (more likely) in the "big" (according to Storm) patch 0.9.10 (with Japanese heavy tanks).

Penetration nerfs on supertest

Hello warriors,

on supertest, the shell penetration of some top tanks was nerfed. note - if you see wrong values than those in the game by one for example, it's just number rounding from averages. Also obviously this list might not be final, it's just supertest.
