Extending the WOT german tech tree – Porsche Tank Destroyers

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

World of Tanks History Section: E-50

原文地址：http://worldoftanks.ru/community/history/tanks/e-50

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.

– Q: “In 8.5, the Konisch gun damage for regular and gold shells was made the same, is it realistic?” A: “As soon as you provide us with the real life data on Konisch gun damage (measured in hitpoints), we will make it realistic”
0.8.5 里的SB炮的银币弹伤害和金币弹一样，这个真是么？
答：如果你知道数据告诉我们好了

– when smoke (as cover) is introduced, the cover mechanism of various objects (haystacks, walls etc.) won’t be changed (they won’t be added as camoproviding objects), there are too many of them
烟雾机制加入以后，各种物体（艹堆，墙）的机制不会改变（因为地图上这些东西太多了，所以不打算把他们算为隐蔽物）

– various tanks have various tracks hitbox models, these models do not depend on the type of the suspension (torsion bars, Christie etc.), rather than on its shape
每个坦克的履带的hitbox都不不一样，因为它们取决于不同的悬挂系统而不是它们的形状

Digging Deeper (1) – appendix

by Thor_Hammerschlag

We probably had a great discussion on the forum after i posted “Digging Deeper (1) – Shell Normalization“. But there was also a lot of confusion. I came to the conclusion, that there are a lot of missleading sources on the web, mostly written by people who are simple not deep enough in the theme of armor penetration.
For anybody who is interested – i added on the end of my article (link is above) a FAQ, which covers most of the confusing parts. Feel free to post a comment or ask me something. 继续阅读 →

– a French premium TD is planned (unknown ETA)
毛子打算引入新的法（洛）国（林）T(A)D(C)

– battles without artillery are not planned
不带炸逼的战斗不会有

– maps that were removed for re-work (Dragon’s Ridge, Serene Coast) are not going to be implemented as optional (SS: the idea was to make them selectable much like the new modes)
回炉的地图（香格里拉和寂静海岸）不会给你选择性进去的设置(SS:原本计划做成攻防战、夺旗战那样可选择不进入）– Leopard 1 mantlet is 70mm “historical” (proof given by Storm)
豹I的炮盾的确只有70mm —参考历史有图有真相
