Note from author: when there are different colours on various models, it doesn’t necesserily mean that the thickness has been changed, the armor zone might have simply been moved into other armor group.

IS-6

The miniature spaced armor strips over the tracks and the rim around the hull (violent on picture) – earlier 10mm, became 30mm

履带上方和车体边缘的[臭名昭著的]间隙装甲带(图中的紫色部分)[木有图]
——从10mm提高到了30mm
官方回应: No. The side armor was 30mm even before and stayed 30mm.  The rim under the turret was 100mm, stayed 100mm. We removed the spaced armor, that was situated in the crevice under the turret, which was there for some reason.
侧面之前也是30mm来着!炮塔下面的边框也是100mm没改过!!

首先是超潘决定不会削弱车体前装甲,来源是其中一个开发人员的博客:
[http://valltergaming.blogspot.de/2013/06/86-fate-of-superpershing.html]
超潘在后面的8.6测试服里大概还会是削过的车体,不过在8.6正式服里会改回8.5的样子。另外也进行了一些讨论,寻求在不冒犯超潘玩家的前提下解决超潘车体与历史不符的问题。

然后是关于超潘的下架:

Also, Slavamakarov (surprisingly his real name is Slava Makarov, one of the producers/developer head honchos) confirmed that Superpershing will be taken away from the shop. It is not yet decided whether this will be a permanent thing, or just temporary. It’s also not yet sure when that happens. He himself was the author of this proposal and it was approved by SerB and Storm, he doesn’t view it as a compromise.
其中一个开发人员Slavamakarov提出了让超潘下架的建议,并且已经得到了SerB和Storm的批准。
下架时间未定,到底是永远下架还是暂时下架也没决定,不过棒子服已经出了公告,说因为WG通知超潘要下架,所以本周的超潘打折活动也会取消。

Chi Ri Kai – Japanese tier 8 medium

Chi Ri Kai – Japanese tier 8 medium

SS: Today we have 2 articles about the Chi-Ri development from Soukoudragon (US forums).

Chi Ri Kai for Medium Tier 8

The Chi Ri Kai is what would be grabbing historically existing features and components and bringing them together. The most important part is the gun. I see no choice but for the 105 to be used.

Chi Ri II – Japanese tier 6/7 medium

Chi Ri II – Japanese tier 6/7 medium

Author: Soukoudragon (US forums)

A practical merging of the Chi Ri and Chi To

With the name Chi Ri II, the patterned way of thinking would figure that this Chi Ri II would be a better tank than the Chi Ri.

Well… yes and no.

Let’s look at Germany. The Tiger 2, the Jagdtiger, the Maus…bigger is better was the trend. But bigger meaning better is highly debatable. What if Germany made more of less complicated and lighter fighting machines? Well, the E-series was apparently going to help with that… a little.

With that concept in mind, the Chi Ri II was designed to be more practical than the Chi Ri. The designers were considering the final desperate battle for the homeland of Japan. They imagined destroyed bridges and railroads, the need to transport over water with landing craft, limited resources, and so on. A simplified Chi Ri sounds like a good idea, thus a better tank…for this kind of dire situation. However the war ended before development could begin.

The other point is that the Chi Ri II took many characteristics from both the Chi Ri and the Chi To while removing some characteristics from the Chi Ri. It could be said that it is as much a Chi Ri II as it is a Chi To II.

– Q: “KV-1S with 122mm is not historical”
A: “Home-educated experts, huh?” (and SerB adds the picture of 122mm KV-1S)
“KV-1S的122炮不符合历史!”
“嗯,键盘历史学家的意见?”(然后SerB贴了张图,吃我122啦,呆逼)

– the vehicle on the above picture is KV-122 by the way. It’s possible that in time, KV-1S will move to tier 5 and will become a hull module option for the KV-1 for more historicity
上面那图更确切地说是KV-122。以后有可能会把KV-1S降到5级并且成为KV-1的一个可选车体部件,这样就更符合历史了。

– SerB states that the “maps are being remade for arty to better hits tanks behind covers” is just a conspiracy theory
SerB表示“之前重做的地图都专注于修改掩体以便让火炮更容易打到掩体后的车”这种完全是脑补阴谋论的意见。 (当然,某些地图修改确实有削弱防炮掩体的安全度,但这并不代表所有的地图修改动机)

– Zimmerit has no influence on normalisation in the game, like it didn’t in real life (SS: no idea where this came from, why would anyone think Zimmerit had any influence. There was a “report” that Zimmerit coating caused fires, but the Germans tested it and came to the conclusion it’s bullshit – sort of like WW2 urban legend)
德系坦克的防磁性涂装在游戏内外都对炮弹的转正毫无影响。

– 3 tier MM spread (as it was before) won’t return
老版的分房范围 (正常能进比自己高三级甚至以上的房) 不会回归。

– the “miniquest” task system, tested on public test (SS: a lot of folks ran into this – ridiculously high rewards for “nothing”) will continue to be tested, it’s a first glimpse of how the future will look
测试服上的迷你任务系统会继续进行测试,这是未来完整系统的第一步。

– there will be a new arty splash visual effect, experiments are running
以后会有新的火炮溅射视觉效果,目前正在测试。
