Which one is better, Object 140 or T-62A?

Source: wot-news.com

Hello everyone,

as some of you know, I am not exactly fond of Soviet tanks (I levelled up the T-54, but that’s about it), so I can’t really evaluate the Object 140′s performance, compared to the T-62. That’s why I am taking Edrard’sassessment and translating it to English. Edrard is the owner of wot-news and generally a good player, so I think his opinion counts in this. First, let’s have a look at Object 140′s armor and size, compared to the T-62A:

8.8 E-100 model change

Source:

A lot of people asked what the 8.8 model change of the E-100 is. Well, here’s a comparison, courtesy of Orkel

– the hull becomes a bit longer
– tracks are slightly moved (up and forward)

Minor changes that make no real difference, including
-tracks moved forward, protecting the LFP/side armor weak spot a bit better
-very slightly lower
-upper section of UFP is better angled now (?)

In the end, still no real difference, should play as usual.

Sniper Award bugged in 8.7

The point of the article linked above is that a player was complaining that the Sniper award he should have recieved. He wrote a support ticket and here’s what he got for answer:

“Currently there is a bug, in which ramming deprives the player of chance to recieve the award. The bug will be fixed in following patches.”
神炮手惊天大bug!: 又可以把淫家的神炮手撞掉了! 下个补丁修复!

So, there you have it, confirmed. Allegedly, this bug only occurs when ramming damage is dealt to friendlies, but this is not confirmed.

T-34-3 and 112 now available on 8.8 test server

Hello everyone,
嗨,大家好

as many of you (judging from the queues) probably noticed, both the 112 and the T-34-3 are available on the test server now. The developers used a strange way to add them: since they weren’t added to the test shop, they added them as special mission reward:
想必你们之中很多人已经注意到了(通过战斗中车辆列表判断),测试服上的 112 和 T-34-3 都开放可用了。开发小组用了个另类的方式将他们加入游戏:这两辆车并没有加入到游戏商城中,而是放到了特殊任务奖励中:
