– there is no free skill reset planned in connection with new camo system introduction
8.6不会因为隐蔽机制修改而提供免费的技能重置。
– the initiative to change the camo system apparently came from SerB
修改隐蔽机制是SerB提出的主意。
– WoT not suitable for cybersport? “You don’t have to take part in cybersport events”
“WoT不适合作为电子竞技？”
“又不是非得要你参与电子竞技的活动。”
The T23 Medium Tank(历史资料以及可能重新回归WOT内)
Author: Priory_of_Sion
For those who have been playing WoT for a while should recognize the name “T23”. The T23 was a tier 8 American Medium before the M46 and M48. Ever since the removal of the T23 there has been a lot of player support to reinstate the T23 as a higher tier American Premium.
There is a problem with that though, beyond the fact WG has no current plans for it. As you should know premium vehicles are usually kept exactly as they were/suppose to be in real life. The T23, as it was in real life, would be terrible as anything over tier 6.
The T23 was developed in 1943 and at the time was a perfectly fine tank. It was equipped with the M1A1 76 mm gun and had 500 gross horsepower. The first pilot T23 was fitted with a quickly produced cast turret, the next couple of pilots came with the same turret as the T20(stock turret in WoT), and the last pilots and the production series of T23 were equipped with a new turret(used in the later M4 Shermans).
This is the T23 with VVS suspension and the same turret as the T20.

– there was a tank SerB wanted to implement, but couldn’t (it wouldn’t fit) – Object 167M with D-83 122mm gun
“有没有哪辆非常诱人的车希望做进游戏，但最后因为某些原因没做成的？”
“有，装122mm D-83炮的167M工程。”
– Soviet gun rebalance was scrapped (SS: there was a plan to increase Soviet penetration to Chinese levels)
苏系炮调整计划看来没戏了。 (曾经有过把苏系炮调整到中系炮标准的计划)
– Chrysler TV-8 in the game? “We don’t smoke need that.”
“会不会有克莱斯勒 TV-8？”
“我们不 抽大麻 需要这种玩意。”
(克莱斯勒TV-8的尊容：
– there will be something like dynamic objects on the maps with the implementation of client physics
在推出客户端物理效果同时会在地图上加入类似动态物体的东西。
– in connection with common premium account for WoWp and WoT, SerB states that it will be impossible to run those two games at the same time (“you don’t have 4 hands anyway, or?”)
“ XX世界的共通VIP帐号推出后，可以用一个帐号同时玩两个不同的游戏吗？”
“不能，反正你也没有四只手对吧？”
(感谢3楼指正)

Author: newsashThis is an interesting post by Russian player, testing the Jagdpanzer E-100 8.6 camo – with and without bush. The spotting vehicle is a FV4202 with 100 percent crew, without binoculars or coated optics, but with radioman’s viewrange perk. The bush mentioned in the table is on Malinovka, like this:
在蹲坑卡， 用fv4202和白兔做隐蔽测试， 用的100%成员， 木有炮队，木有高光。
但接线生有视野增强技能！

And the result? Here is the distance in meters, on which the Jpz E-100 gets spotted…. (notice my elite photoshop skill, which I used to insert the text so nicely…)

Storm on 0.8.6 test
Source: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/201983.htmlOn the developer blog, Storm asked the Russian players, how they like the 0.8.6 test. Here’s an excerpt from Storm’s comments under the article.
文章来源: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/201983.html 在开发者的博客上，Storm问了下毛子玩家对于8.6测试服的感受。以下是在文章下面Storm的回复的一部分。
– apparently, the new dynamic camera works like it should, players were complaining about it getting “stuck” behind object, players complain about it a lot (SS: funny, I didn’t have any such problems – do any of you?)
– 显然新的动态视角一切正常，玩家们曾经在抱怨它会卡在某些物体的后面，而且不止一个人这么说。（SS：唔，我好像没这个问题……你呢？）【译者：有！问题大大的有！！】
– dynamic camera moving after each shot is being discussed within WG, apparently it’s an atmospheric decision
– 动态视角在每次开火后会移动下是在WG内部讨论好的，很显然这个设定很带感。【译者：带感个球啊……试用手感极差】
– combat tasks within the game will come, but later (whatever that is)
– 游戏内置的日常任务会来的，不过应该还要有段时间。
– LeFH French premium arty will possibly be removed from the shop
– 法国的金币火炮很有可能会被从商店中移除. 【注：8.6测试服中已无法在法国科技树中看到此火炮】
– when HEAT ricochets and hits something else after the ricochet, it will penetrate as usual
– 当HEAT跳蛋之后，它还是会继续飞行并且还是会穿透的【译者：通过虎爷正面跳掉之后把旁边的火炮炸死？】
– Storm states that KV-5 will be especially tough in 0.8.6
– Storm说，KV-5在0.8.6这个版本里会比以往还要硬
0.8.6 Matilda Black Prince buff –不疼不痒的buff！
0.8.6 Matilda Black Prince buff
Thanks to TwilightSparkle for this one.Apparently, Matilda BP turret got resized. Along with a depression buff, the turret itself is noticeably smaller, have a look (to the left – 0.8.6, to the right – 0.8.5). It’s also visibly shorter, so let’s hope this finally makes Matilda BP a bit more enjoyable to play. Turret armor got also buffed, from 76/51/44 to 76/63/57.
