Not used IE in well over a decade. :p

Not much news today, other than Serb screwing over the French. He states that there are "no low tier French vehicles left to put in that he can find."

He's clearly not looking very hard.

Char G1

AMC 35

AMR 35

Renault R40

And of course, Char 2C

[RoboRed]

Had a few games in the T-34-3. It's not bad. Definitely not a playstyle I'm used to, though. Moderate speed and a LONG reload and aim time, but it hits hard. I need to be a lot more conscious of weak spots. I really wish I had people to platoon with, though.

For the record, I'm using Firefox.


As for the French Tanks... Well, it's because he's going to spin them as above tier 4 tanks !

I'm using interenet explorer and the signature works fine  

I've added you Robo on the test server so I'll say hi if I see you online. I'm EU though so you'll probably miss me.

...what?
There's a ton of them. WG has even already put them in the official projected future tree!

I'm talking about this one:

Yeah, there's supposed to be two whole new branches of lights/mediums, both with Char G1 prototypes at tier 5, one leading into the ARL and the other leading all the way up to tier 10 (AMX-30). This was published in November 2012.

Unless he implied "other than the ones in this tree", he's talking out of his ass.

[RoboRed]

Hmmm, if that pic holds true, I'll have to hold onto my 12t...or at least grind some extra xp on it before selling.

Also, "talking out of his ass"...this is new behavior for Serb? 

[RoboRed]

Unlocked the T29. Sadly, I haven't enough credits.

[RoboRed]

I can't stop looking at this thing. That gun depression...

http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/276670-stb-1-article-normally-would-be-in-japanese-tank-thread/

Provided they keep it, definitely saving up xp for the Japanede meds.

[StoneSlinger88]

*screams*

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?!?!?!?

*checks date*

God dammit x3 Monday.

[RoboRed]

MM's idea of a fun time is to feed Robo hilly maps whenever he uses his Type T-34.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Because fuck you, that's why.

[Fuzzy]

Supertesters just got this baby to play with. A British Tier 2 Light MkVI. Just the tier everyone expected it to be on (it couldn't fit on anything else really)

Unfortunately, they say that it will be premium. Which leads me to think it'll be a gift tank, WG has said they don't do premium tier 2's any more after all. I have no problem with that.

However, it leads me to wonder, just what starts our tree then? The Tetrarch with its historical gun would be absurdly OP at tier 2. So unless they go for the 2-Pdr equipped Light MkV...I dunno what else they can do.

[RoboRed]

Pic isn't working.

Now it is.

[RoboRed]

Good news: I am now a member of the glorious T29 master race.(also, I got my Crusader)

Bad news: I have not yet had the opportunity to pilot the tank, and likely will not have a chance for a few days.

[Valikdu]

Ah yes, the T29.

I transfered to it from a M4A2E4. I'm forced to use the stock gun. UGH.

[RoboRed]

I think you mean the E2.

I did the same thing, but I saved up a bunch of free xp so I don't have to use the stock gun right off the bat.

German tank lovers, two of your new rides are here.

And yes, that is a Panzer IV at Tier 9.

With a 150mm Autoloader.

[RoboRed]

1) KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKKEKEKE
2)What's German for "kick me"? Because I feel that what that this thing should have written on its sides in bright red paint. It might as well - it's the size of a barn.



Also, I wonder where these are going to branch off from. The Pz38t at least. I saw a Marder38T in that pic. It would stand to reason that it would branch off from that by relation of chassis like the Hetzer.

[RoboRed]

Also, how about that new map?: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/09/04/upcoming-new-map-rivertown/

Also, those tier 8-10 TDs make me hard: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/09/06/how-historical-is-the-upcoming-8-9-line/#more-2810

Shame that they'll be made of paper, but you've gotta offset that firepower somehow. I'm gonna really need to practice the art of not being seen.

[Valikdu]

Killing a T28 Prot. by ammo explosion with a single shot from a VK30.01D. At long range.

It's like rolling 20 two times in a row.

[Harmony Ltd.]

What would it be like to roll a 1 followed by a 20 ?

SUCCESS. 

Man, he must've been absolutely pissed.

Now, if that's not RNG material I don't know what is.

Some interesting reads on FTR lately.
The KV-1S may be split into the KV-85 (T6) and KV-122 (T7). Not sure how, since t7 already has the IS-2, unless the KV-122 will be a premium.

The missing Waffentragers were also discovered. T8 has the Rheinmetal WT (cardboard armor, 15cm L/29.5 or 12.8cm L/55)




And T10 has the WT E-100, which is definitely fictional, impractical, but cool. It will pack a long 12.8cm or 15cm in a rotatable turret with an autoloader.


THIS IS A WAFFENTRAGER
IT TRAGS WAFFEN

[hawkeye92]

I might try out the German TD's for fun, not sure how far I'll get though.

Also this week's special for WoT is awesome for me. 10 victories a day gain an extra 50,000 credits in tier 4+ medium tanks and over the course of the special killing fifty enemies while you're using aforementioned tier 4+ mediums gets you a vent and load of large repair kits.

If you're a medium tank driver like me it's a nice, relaxing special. Just gotta get ten or more kills a day on average.

[Valikdu]

Look I didn't the sleep deprivation

...


BTW, patch day now.

[Fuzzy]

Patch contents summarised that we may not know:

 - 76mm S54 Gun (On T-34, T-34-85, KV-13, KV-1S and SU-85) gets a penetration buff from 109 to 125mm
 - 85 mm ZiS С-53 (On T-34-85, T-43 and T-44) gets a penetration buff from 120 to 126mm
 - All Soviet 100mm guns gain a damage buff increase from 230 to 250
 - KV-2 turns slightly slower, but gets a mobility buff of 560hp to 600hp engine
 - KV-3 gains a mobility buff of 560 to 600 horsepower
 - T-150 gains a mobility buff of 560 to 600 horsepower

Absolutely freaking crazy, Alpha damage is already by far the most powerful method of attack in this game and then the Russian tanks get more. They almost universally gained a rate of fire nerf, but that's never been a problem for them (And in many cases it's a tiny nerf), they'll just peek-a-boo and do more damage every single time.

Just ridiculous biased pandering now. Expect derping to be worse than ever from the Russian tanks.

German Tanks get a huge amount of changes, too many to summarise. In general they lose top speed and horsepower but gain faster turning, reduced terrain resistance and better fire on move capability.

Chinese tanks get a lot of penetration nerfs (Finally)


And some news:

 - KV-1S will be changed for a Tier 6 KV-85 (Without 122mm) and Tier 7 KV-122

Hey I'll take that if not a direct nerf, least the tier 6 derping goes away

 - there might be another Soviet TD branch implemented in the future

- it’s too early to talk about another Soviet HT branch, it’s possible it might appear in the game, but so far there are still many issues

Gee wow...more Soviet tanks...

- T-44-122 will be a reward tank for supertesters only (SS: probably to reward the leaks lately)

Hooray, more tanks that no-one will ever get. Screwing the Americans just wasn't enough eh?

- new hightier light tanks will appear “in forseeable future”

Walker Bulldog, Sheridan, TV-15000, FV101 Scorpion and AV-R?

 - cast armor and rolled homogenous armor aren’t and won’t be differentiated in WoT (SS: they were a very, very long time ago)

Funnily enough, the nations that would have been hurt most by this would have been Russia and China. Gee, I wonder why they aren't doing it.

[Valikdu]

NEW UPDATE CAUSES BSOD. LOL.
