Due to gameplay changes, which will be added in 8.6 update, it was found that American Tier VIII medium tank T26E4 SuperPershing and French Tier IV SPG 105 lefH18B2 will require change of some in-game characteristics, while British Tier III SPG Sexton is not yet ready for addition to the in-game stores.

T26ESuperPershing

The frontal armor of the T26E4 SuperPershing is not currently representative of its historical counterpart and its performance may see a dip once the 8.6 Update is released — due to overall gameplay changes coming with this update. As a result, we’ll be temporarily be removing this vehicle from the in-game store. Players who already own this tank will still have the ability to play it.
超潘的前装甲目前与史实不符,而它的前装甲在8.6更新之后可能会表现的不如现在这么结实——因为这次更新中所有的游戏特性变更。所以,我们将暂时把超潘从商店中移除,当然现在已经有了这辆车的玩家仍然可以使用它。

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

——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!!

【Developer Q&A 】2013/6/6, 6/7 – 超潘不砍但是下架

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:
来源是老地方,Livejournal上的博客:
[http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/203937.html]
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.
