– apparently Japanese tanks will come before the second Soviet medium branch
日本线会在S系中坦二线之前实现(一个卫星比另一个卫星飞的低的故事)
– special “duel” mode won’t be implemented on test servers
不会实现什么决斗模式的(test servers什么的是ss理解问题)
– there won’t be a 3rd test of 0.8.5
085不会有第三次测试了
– the situation with the alleged premium account buff got complicated, Storm debunked SerB’s information that thee will be PA buffs. Confusing.
Storm指出昨天SerB所说的给VIP账户更多的优惠政策会导致buff VIP帐号，目前这计划又变的复杂起来了
– all the armor calculations are done server-side
所有的装甲计算都在服务器端完成的
– there is a chance the Leopard 1 will be made lower (historically, according to Storm, it should be 2400mm tall, at this moment in game it’s 2480mm tall)
Storm说，豹I有机会变矮8mm的高度，这样身高就会只有2米4高了，目前游戏里是2米48
– as previously reported by FTR, 8.5 has been confirmed for Thursday on RU server, which means EU/US will follow possibly next week Tuesday/Wednesday.
之前的QA提及，俄服的0.8.5将在周四4.18日开放, 欧服/美服可能与下周3或4开放
Disclaimer:
This is a purely speculative article that takes into account WOT german tech tree and uses historical tanks to speculate possible new tank additions.
While trying to keep the articles faithful to history some room for inaccuracy is allowed within these rules:
1) No tank or tank part will be 100% made up, at least a mention about tank role and vague specs are needed
2) Components not planned for the tank are allowed, provided it wouldn’t create grotesque inaccuracies like putting a gun that would obviously cripple a tank under its weight
3) This will be limited to WWII plans, anything post war risks to be too arbitrary to properly balance

As you probably noticed, new ASAP (KTTC in Russian) video is out. Nothing new or surprising in it, just a recap of the things known from 8.5 patchnotes. But at least it’s confirmed the Chinese will get a new tier 8 premium vehicle to replace the Type 59.
今日ASAP放出了新的视频，没什么新意，关于085的更新内容基本都再讲了一次.
不过已经确认会有新的tg VIII级mt来替代59式—[新粗一辆可能]
Anyway, the translation:
– when regular AP shells penetrate the hull, they travel the distance of several (10?) shell calibers (SS: eg. 100mm shells = 1m distance). The same rule applies for HEAT shells.
AP/APCR/HEAT在击穿装甲后，在车体内继续飞行的距离为 “其口径大小”x10的距离。
[比如268的155击穿目标后,继续飞行 155×10=1550mm 1米55]
– when in contact with spaced armor or external modules, the same rules apply for HEAT shells as for AP shells
打中间隙装甲/外部零件时HEAT的算法和AP/APCR一样[打中间隙装甲穿深不会骤减]
– HEAT shells do not have an increased chance to set the tank on fire
HEAT和其他弹种把坦克打着火的几率是一样一样滴

The E-series (Entwicklung-typen) program started in 1942, as a project to discover new solutions in the field of tank building. The head of the program was Heinrich Kniepkamp, a competent commander, and talented engineer. By the end of the war, he held 50 patents relating to tracked vehicles. It is worth mentioning that not a single company involved with the project has ever built tanks before. The German high command predicted that this will result in the most original approach to the problems at hand. Even though not a single E-series tank was mass produced, and most only got as far as blueprints and wooden mockups, one could say that this was a successful project. The E-series are considered the peak of German technological thought.
Important! Please note that tank characteristic changes haven’t been listed in this update. The full list of these changes will be revealed in the final patch notes prior to the release.
