STB-1 – model and armor

 

 

Source: RU forums

STB-1 (tier 10) model and armor (some idiot from RU forums photoshopped a head of some retard into the picture, so I had to crop it, sorry about that). At least I think it’s STB-1.

As you can see, the turret front is pretty decently armored, tougher hide than the one of the Leopard.

Interview with Jurij Rogach (model specialist)

Rohach_Devcon

Hello everyone,

Jurij (Yuri) Rogach is the lead modeller for World of Tanks and recently, people from Render.ru portal managed to make an interview with him. I’ll be summing up the information contained in this interview (just like I did it with Ola before), because translating literally is too slow.

– he comes from a small town in western Belarus, has two children – he joined Wargaming in July 2009 to start working on World of Tanks as Lead Tech-artist and in 2010 he moved on the position of “3D outsourcing manager” (managing 3rd part modellers, working on tank textures etc) – the amount of employees of WG is flowing, but it’s roughly 2000 people by now – WG will be hiring new specialists, but will be moving to another office, as the current offices are too small

Regarding the process of making tank models and maps:

Why was 3-caliber rule removed for HEAT?为啥Heat的3倍口径碾压被移除了

Hello everyone,
小朋友们大家好, 

just a quick “guide” – or more like explanation why there was a removal of the 3-caliber rule for HEAT shells in 8.9. What do patchnotes tell us?
这篇东西类似于“指南”—或者说更像是解释一下为什么在8.9中,HEAT的三倍口径碾压机制被移除了。补丁信息告诉了我们些什么? 

– Removed the rule for HEAT shells that excludes ricochet if the shell’s calibre exceeds the armour thickness by 3 or more times.
移除了HEAT的三倍口径碾压机制,也就是弹药口径是装甲3倍以上,必定不会跳蛋的机制

– Deflection angle for HEAT shells changed from 80 to 85 degrees.
HEAT的偏转角从80°上升到了85°

The “Turbopanther” – Panther Ausf.F mit Gasturbine

原文在這裡:
http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/10/19/the-turbopanther-panther-ausf-f-mit-gasturbine/

Hello everyone,

this will be possibly the last article about the Panther, as we covered pretty much everything that looks like an interesting option for the Panther. Only one “specialized vehicle” is left: the Turbo Panther. Of course, that’s not its real name, that’s a name SerB used for it. You see, SerB admitted (several times in fact), that there is a possibility (not guarantee), that the E-50 and E-50M will be merged into one vehicle on tier 10 (with rear-transmission E-50M being an optional hull for the E-50) and on tier 9, it might be replaced by something called “Turbopantera” – “the Turbo Panther”.
