【Developer Q&A 】2013/4/3

Americans have a 8.5 tank preview on their server (didn’t notice the same thing on EU server, hence the US link)
美服8。5前瞻请点我┏ (゜ω゜)=☞

– according to SerB, there is no corellation between shooting distance and damage done (a player was complaining that when shooting over 300m, shells do less than average damage more often)
SerB说,炮弹飞行距离和能造成的伤害没有半毛钱关系(有玩家抱怨打300米以外目标时伤害比一般情况下要低)【CK:+-25%的均穿/伤害是两套系统来着】

 Official 8.5 english tank descriptions

The official leaked english descriptions of the 8.5 vehicles. I think that considering the 8.5 patch notes leak and the fact this blog is now officially banned on the EU forums, it hardly matters anymore. Also, as for the DW2 description – as far as I know, that tank was not tested, so I have no idea what is it doing there.

Excelsior
At the end of 1942, the Churchill tank’s armament was deemed insufficient. New tanks, the A31, A32, and A33 were developed as new infantry tanks. The A33 was developed by the English Electric Company. The LMS Company participated in the development of suspension for a new tank. Two vehicles, which differed greatly from each other, were manufactured. The A33 was set to go into production, but in 1943 the decision to cancel mass production of the Churchill was reversed, and the order for the A33 was not placed.

Sexton I
In 1943 the Montreal Locomotive Works started mass production of the Sexton SPG, developed on the basis of RAM II. A total of 2150 vehicles were produced by 1945, of which 125 were designated the Sexton I.

The Maus That Roared –鼠哥II惊现

Edit: to “smart” people thinking this is an April’s fool – republished it, it’s after midning here, no – it’s a serious article. Happy?
Hello everyone,

one of the iconic vehicles of the Third Reich and the testament to Dr. Porsche’s ingenuity is the Maus, mostly because it is (and probably always will be) the heaviest tank ever built. Most people know the vehicle itself, but there are other (less known) vehicles (in two cases derivates, in one case a different vehicle) bearing the name Maus. Let’s have a look at them.

Sources I’ll be using: H.Doyle: Panzer Tracts (20-1, 6-3)
