First Public Test of Update 8.10

The public test server is now open.

Update 8.10 is coming, and it’s time to test the changes!  The World of Tanks development team needs to conduct a thorough test and they want you to take part.

The development team want to make the game as good as possible and getting your feedback is a big part of that.  Taking part in the public test is your chance to let us know your thoughts and suggestions on forthcoming updates.  This means we can review your feedback and make any further changes before the update goes live.

All World of Tanks players are eligible to take part in the public test as long as they registered before 1st December 2013.  You don’t need to be an experienced tester to join in; you just need to be willing to try out as many of the new features as you can and send us your feedback!

WoT 9.0: an early look – 0.9.0前瞻

来源: http://www.worldoftanks-wot.com/updates/wot-9-0/

It has been mentioned multiple times by the developers that WoT 9.0 will be released at the end of this year, around New Year, but no official release date has been set as it normally isn’t until the last moment. This will probably change as the current release date of 8.10 is just too close to make this release date real The 0.9.0 version is going to be a big one, bringing Havok phisycs and multi-core support to WoT, but only for Havok running on a separate core at this point. WarGaming is also working on bigger teams (up to 30 on 30) and bigger maps, where the bigger maps could come in 9.0, but nothing has been confirmed though, as this is still much a work in progress, with a high probability of a version 8.10 coming before (24.10 Q&A FTR) . The information is conflicting right now to say the least, as the developers aren’t consistent at all when talking about version 9.0. Sometimes they refer to it as the next patch, sometimes they mention another update coming before that.
之前dev提及过很多次关于0.9.0会在2013年底前后放出的事了(事后确认就是个大忽悠),但是谁不可能在官方正式发布日前有任何可靠的消息,都只能是个传说.

不过可以知道的是,0.9.0将是个很大改动的版本,新的Havok本地物理引擎(手游上的ModenCombat系列这样的),CPU多核支持等. 不过Havok只运行在单独的一个CPU内核上.wg还在尝试30人对30人作战的模式(之前的提到过的大地图,增加炮的散布变相提高精度etc…),不过现在说这些都还尚早.毕竟木有确凿信息,只知道wg还在努力…..不过这些都是0.8.10之后的高优先事项.通过QA和一些零散的信息,他们之间看着挺矛盾的,至少可以说dev在计划搞这些东西,不过是下个版本还是,下下个版本就不得而知了/.233

8.10 ETA

Posted on  by

Translation: Daigensui

Hello everyone,

according to the translation of recent Japanese interview with Viktor Kislyi, the ETA for patch 8.10 (that will bring the Japanese tanks) is mid December. That means the test server will start quite perhaps in a week or so.

More info from the interview:

– going to “invest” a lot in E-Sports due to the competitive nature of the Korean market
– Japanese Teams for WoT competitions are pretty strong, due to (1) competitive (2) military fans (3) G&P
– F2P is the way of the future, V.Kislyi doesn’t want pay to win
– WoT, WoT:B, WoT 360, WoTG, and WoWP will be released to the Japanese market, but not as a separate server, the Japanese will play on current ASIA (former SEA) server

Just so you know, guys, I got told by WG RU that the annoying portal bug with switching languages will be fixed with the 8.10 patch, they developed the fix already but something (unspecified) prevents them from deploying it straight away.
跟你们说一下,WGRU的人跟我说那个官网语言BUG(欧服的,选择英文会出现一些德语+波兰语的BUG)会在8.10上线时一并修复,他们早就搞定了修复办法,但是有什么东西(此处并未指明) 阻止了他们直接把补丁搞上线

– SerB will not publish how many players can RU server handle before it gets overloaded
SerB不会公布毛服在服务器过载之前能承受多少数量的玩家的

– Hunnicutt archive digitization: “when it’s done it’s done”
Hunnicutt文献的数字化:  “when it’s done it’s done”

– the devs haven’t found any new tech usable for WoT there for now
开发团队暂时没有在(Hunnicutt的文献中)找到可以给WOT用的新科技(车辆)

– price of the archive? “no comment”
你们花多少钱买的这些文献?“无可奉告”

– T110E1 and T110E2 are also mentioned in Hunnicutt’s “Firepower” book, but there’s not much on them there
T110E1和T110E2在Hunnicutt的“火力”一书中提到过,但是关于它们的信息并不多

2014: Hard Choices

Hello everyone,

Storm lately said that in 2014, there will be only 2-3 branches and that he faces hard choices about what to pick. So, let’s help him a bit 🙂 On the right side there is a new poll, incorporaing the possibilities. This time, you can pick THREE of what you would like to see in 2014.

Current options are:

8.9 TD line camouflage – 0.8.9元首2线TD隐蔽如何

Source: wotinfo.net site

Hello everyone,

the abovementioned site (Wotinfo) released measured camo values for the new German tank destroyers. These numbers do not represent the camo factor value in the game, but rather a number serving only to compare the vehicles between one another. More on how they reached those numbers here.

Now, I can’t guarantee these numbers weren’t pulled out of their ass (no offense, but I’ve seen a few such “tests”) – in general however it looks roughly legit. What it means is:

Hello everyone,

today, we have a nice guest article by Captain Nemo about the real vehicle project, that is in game known as the GW Tiger. I was actually quite impressed by the level of detail Nemo managed to get. Enjoy!

Outside at Proving Ground 003

I knew starting off that doing a “short” article on this subject would be hell and thought I
