– currently, the spare tracks attached on the armor have no influence on armor thickness, because theoretically after first hit they’d have to fall off. The developers will first implement client physics (spare tracks falling off after being hit) and then will rethink the whole issue
目前坦克模型上的外挂备用履带对于实际装甲厚度没有影响,因为理论上一旦被打中,这些东西就会掉下来失效。所以开发人员会先把客户端物理效果 (可以显示外挂履带板、工具箱之类被打飞的效果) 搞好,再来考虑这个问题。
(其实现在某些外挂履带板已经有间隙装甲效果,例如傻邱7升级炮塔侧面那几块履带板算作间隙装甲,不过正面的两块没有效果。)

– SerB can’t promise, what the number of HAVOK patch will look like, whether it will be one of the 0.8.X series, or 0.9
Havok客户端物理引擎会在哪个补丁出现,还没有决定。

– dynamic collision model will come hand in hand with its visual respresentation (SS: As an example, if a part of original hitbox “falls off” using Havok (for example a piece of box, or external tanks), the hitbox will change too”
动态碰撞模型系统会随着动态的外观模型系统的引入而出现。 (看来是指Havok客户端物理效果在外观模型上的改变也会实际改变车辆的碰撞模型,例如外挂履带板打飞后这块的装甲防御会稍微弱一点之类?)

– regarding the aforementioned client physics implementation, it’s being worked on, it will work so that for example Schmalturm Panzer IV’s mesh side armor (Schurzen) will fly off after being hit, it’s possible that after its implementation, there will be additional armor implemented, such as sandbags
上述的 (外观模型破坏) 效果已经在制作中,包括外挂履带板和四号的网格侧裙之类的都可以打飞。另外,这个系统实装后,可能也会推出附加装甲板、沙包之类的外部设备。

Ensign’s Q&A Answers #6

By EnsignExpendable

Previous edition here.

Q: How was the Sherman compared to the T-34 by the red army? Did they perhaps like them any better? Worse?

A: The Sherman was seen as a good tank, with a very nice gun. Tankers lamented the flat side armour and tall profile, but enjoyed the quality of the interior finish and comfortable seats. Tank infantry like Shermans too, since they shook a lot less in motion. Hooking up their belts to a Sherman, they could remain still enough to shoot more or less accurately at a distance of 100-150 meters, just enough to either suppress or drive off Panzerfaust soldiers hiding in ruins.

Q: Do you have any info about Germans capturing Soviet tanks, and how they modified those?

2.6.2013
– 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.

31.5.2013
– 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)

0.8.6 Jpz E-100 camouflage effect –以后带网子粗门是常态么!

0.8.6 Jpz E-100 camouflage effect

Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/2021014.html
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…)
