Basically what this article says: Storm states that on RU7 server (based in Amsterdam), there is a new MM version implemented, that fixes the issues of the 8.6 patch. Storm states that it’s looking good, it has been tested internally and no problems were found.

Storm说在RU7服务器(设在阿姆斯特丹)新增了一个分房机制，用于修复8.6的问题(火炮班长啥的)。他表示这个机制看起来不错，在测试中没发现什么问题。

Storm states that the new MM specifically focuses on:
– top 5 vehicles of each team should be of the same tier now. If the timeout (waiting time) reaches 1 minute, this rule is reduced to top 3 tanks
– the scout balance (“both sides have the same amount of scouts” rule), that was disabled previously, should also work now.

Storm表示这个新的分房机制主要侧重在:
– 每队前5辆车的等级将会相同，如果等待时间超过1分钟，前3辆车等级会相同。
– 侦察车会被平衡，每边侦察车的数量一致(译者注:但是可能会出现T-50对WZ-132的情况)，这个机制之前被否决了，现在重新开始工作。

Storm asked the players to give feedback in the comments. From the comments and feedback:

– a player reports an issue, that low tier platoons are too often on the bottom of the team. Storm states it’s possible that the new MM on RU7 did affect this, he will check.
– Storm states that it’s pointless to explain the mechanism changes, as it is so complicated even he didn’t understand when the developers explained them to him, one has to have deep knowledge of the system to understand
– Storm and players noticed a lot of “mirror fights” (with both team having the same vehicles) he’s not sure if that’s a good thing, or not
– the waiting times have increased to 40s-1minute
– platoon balancing not only by pieces, but also by MM weight is not planned

Storm请求玩家反馈意见。反馈的意见:

– 有玩家反应，组队玩家老垫底。Storm表示这可能是新的分房机制导致的，他会检查下。
– Storm表示解释新的分房机制毫无意义，因为那非常复杂。就算是他，在一位 非常高端非常娴熟的职业开发人员 十分了解这个系统的开发人员给他解释的时候，也没有完全搞懂。
– Storm和玩家注意到了许多镜像局(两边车一样) – 他不确定这是不是件好事 反正我觉得挺好 
– 排队时间增加到了40秒~1分钟
– 没有对组队在分房中的权重进行平衡的计划

Just a few points, regarding the upcoming 8.7 changes. You’ll like them 🙂

– T-50 will NOT apparently lead to MT-25, it will lead to T-34
T-50下一级的车不是MT-25(T-50-2的替换车)，而是T-34

– MT-25 will be unlockable from KV-1S
MT-25将从KV-1S点亮

– current accumulated T-50 XP will be somehow transferred to KV-1S
目前在T-50上的经验，将以某种方式转到KV-1S上

– Panther tanks (apparently both Panther I and II) will be rebalanced, they will lose their top engines, but will recieve a rate of fire buff (amongst other things)
黑豹(黑豹I和黑豹II)将被重新平衡，会移除他们的顶级花冻鸡，不过会得到射速上的增强
—顺便测透细节:——

It won’t lose it’s top engine it will be reduced to historical output of 700HP. Panther II on the other hand…It’s quite possible they will remove the top engine
黑豹I的顶级花冻鸡是砍到700马力，黑豹II则有可能直接砍掉顶级花冻鸡…

Hello everyone,

today, we are going to have a look at the upcoming Soviet (possibly) T8 medium, designated Object 416.

Some time ago, official descriptions of upcoming vehicles were leaked from the supertest. Object 416 was amongst them, here’s how it is described by Wargaming:

The Object 416 was a medium tank developed by the Construction Bureau of Plant No. 75 starting in 1949. An early prototype was completed by March 1950. Due to problems with the turret, the prototype was not operational until the end of April 1952. By the summer of 1953, the prototype was tested and upgraded. The vehicle passed trials, but never entered mass production.

Now the Americans already have one don’t they? Well, by playstyle the T26E4 doesn’t really fit the stereotypical medium role does it? So are there any other vehicles that could be introduced to fit in a tier 8 premium medium spot? Yes, a lot actually.

Lets start off with the more logical choices. The T42 might be the easiest vehile to implement. Historically the T42 was based off the T37 light tank and was to be better armored than the M46 while keeping approximately the same firepower. The T42′s turret was used in the M46E1(upgraded M46) and the  M47 Patton. The chassis is already ingame as the T69′s chassis while the turret and gun are represented by the M46′s upgraded turret and the 90 mm gun M36. The T42 would have 4 crew members and could achieve speeds of 51 km/h (with 13.3 hp/t).

Another choice is the M47 Patton itself. The M47 used a hull based off the M46 Patton but featured better sloping so the protection would be equal to the T42 hull. The gun is the same as the T42(the M36). The M47 had a top speed of 48 km/h while having 15.9 hp/t. The M47 should be superior to the T42 in mobility besides top speed, also you get to train 5 crew members in it. I’d be happy with an M47 premium but I’d like to have the M47 as a researchable tank at tier 9 and have the M26 and M46 combined as a single tier 8 tank, we could see it in the Euro Tree too.
