First: a screenie from mid March (courtesy of ITDUDE, US server) from an official WG movie, showing some interesting vehicles on the bottom bar:
Now some FaiLowe news
Source: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/177028.html
(Storm made a post practically similiar to the European coming-out in wording earlier – hell, can EU server even write a post first?)
– according to Storm, the new vehicles (VK7201, M60 Patton, Object 907) are planned for summer, Storm states they will not be tied to the “expert” medals
按Storm的说法，这些新车(VK7201、M60巴顿、工程907)预计夏天出厂，Storm表示这些车不会和坦克克星挂钩 –CK：剧透说这些是领土战的奖励
– Q: “What remains is to pray that these vehicles aren’t tied to clanwars” A: “Remains, yes”
Q:那最后期待他们不会和领土战有关吧。 A:最后，是的
(SS: if you are interested in Failowe history, here’s an article)
Also, from Yuri Pasholok (source), a possible picture of new Soviet light tank destroyer, it was made in April-May 1942, based on the T-60 light tank (it’s just a project, unclear whether it will ever appear in the game).
Regular translations: Looks like SerB is in trollmood again
– there is a new Nvidia driver build released, it’s being tested for WoT stability
黄老板的新驱动已经发布了，通过了WOT的稳定性测试
– VK3601H won’t be changed into a heavy in 8.5
3601不会在0.8.5版本改成重坦
– test server crews won’t have multiple perks during tests
测试服务器的乘员在测试期间不会获得多个技能
– maps aren’t being converted to make arties’ life easier
我们不会为了火炮更好用而修改地图
– free (undistributed) XP to crew XP transfer idea has been abandoned, because “it’s not considered necessery”
未兑换的经验转为乘员经验的点子已经放弃了，因为没意义
– armor buff? “If needed – and we decide what’s needed” (SS: this somehow reminds me of the old Czech movie quote: “We – the communist party – decide what’s beautiful!” 🙂 )
装甲buff? 如果我们觉得有必要的话(SS:我想起了某个CCAV老捷克电影的一段台词”群众们纷纷表示情绪稳定我们-共产党-决定什么是美丽”)
– SerB regarding the “elite players”: “The elite can consider themselves the elite as much as they want, we don’t care”
Serb提到”精英玩家”：”精英玩家爱多精英多精英，我们不管”

– the Chinese made a ripoff copy of World of Tanks – SerB reacts: “Copyright and right to copy are written the same in Chinese”
对于天艹山寨出来的“坦克世界”，Serb表示”在中国山寨司空见惯，他们把CopyRight当作 Right2Copy
– ZIS-5 gun has different penetration on different tanks, because it’s a different gun in each case (SS: there were more models, yes)
ZIS-5(kv220,kv1等)在不同坦克上的穿深不同，因为其实是不同的火炮(两种)
– KV-220 is named correctly according to WG (SS: some player suggests the correct name should be KV-220-2)
kv220——我们爱叫什么叫什么(SS:有玩家认为应该叫kv-220-2)
– SerB states that the rumor about the special artyzoom mod showing the enemy arty position after one shot is just a rumor
SerB声明，不存在一种火炮瞄准插件会当敌方火炮射击时提供射击位置
– the fact that the tank is turning its hull and its turret at the same time doesn’t reduce the turret rotation speed
坦克的车体和炮塔同时转不会降低炮塔的转速
– the camouflage mechanics changes will affect all classes, it’s not tied to the fact that the heavies on tier 10 are hard to play
伪装机制的改变对所有坦克都有影响。这个改变和10级重坦的生存困境无关
– in alpha WoT, there was the idea to make the detection range (viewrange) better in the direction the driver/commander periscope is aiming at and worse in other directions, it was scrapped as counterintuitive

085相关内容，自己点进去看看那吧，撸猪最近实在没空管内链翻译了
Storm on some points from 8.5: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/226909-extract-from-85/(I was about to translate it, but then I noticed there was an official post on EU forums. Why WG makes its EU branch translate such snippets I have no idea)
– Yuri Pasholok: the T-80 tier 4 light tank could have a Soviet 76mm gun
Yuri Pasholok：毛子的IV级跑车T-80会有76mm的炮
– there is a rumor going around that the tier 10 tanks (M60, Object 907, Failowe) will be a part of a special Clanwars event, held during the official “CW season closure” (SS: just a rumor, not confirmed, take it or don’t).
谣言中的X级车(M60, OBJ907, 屌丝狮)将会是领土战的特别活动中的一部分（将在官方领土季赛闭幕期间举行(SS:信不信随你)– tanks will not be transferrable for gold to another nation (“Players make a lot if idiotic proposals. We can’t comment on them all, sorry”)
金币换国籍？滚粗！
– SerB states that the visibility duration (3-10 seconds) for a given tank aren’t random, but rather cyclic. In other words, if two tanks light each other up simultaneously, it’s possible that tank 1 will disappear for tank 2 sooner than tank 2 for tank 1
SerB说点亮持续时间(3-10秒)不是随机而是周期性的.,也就是说如果两辆坦克同时点亮对方, 其中一辆可能比另外一辆早一些视线里消失
– the gold consumable prices for credit will principially be calculated as 50g*400 (credits per gold) = 20000s, but this price is not guaranteed
银币买金币补给的价格基于50金*400=20000银币来算（不保证最终价格）
– VK3601H is transferred to the heavy tank category because “it’s needed”
VK3601H变重坦是确实需要来着
– Q: “New German tanks carry Bundeswehr crosses, yet earlier you said it’s technically impossible for a single nation to have two symbols, how is it then?” A: “It’s the first step to archieve the goal of having all the tanks carry red stars”
关于贴图十字的问题我就偷懒了，反正吐槽一地
– more shell impact sounds (special sounds for impacts on tracks etc.) will be implemented
炮弹击中音效会改进的(击中履带的特殊音效等)
– a player on RU server actually archieved 15 kills with a FV215b….
想看录像，见识下183管子的215b只有12发炮弹，怎么打死15个人的，撞死3个人么
– South American desert map (“Mexico”) was scrapped, didn’t play well
南美洲沙漠图(“墨西哥”)体验差，不要了
这以下是Ovelord回答关于手机wot游戏 -wot blitz的内容：
Overlord answers the questions in Russian regarding the World of Tanks Blitz (he became a producer-chief for the mobile division it seems):
– The requirements will be the Ipad 2,3,4, Iphone 4,5 (he’s not sure about the 4), for Android port he says it’s complicated, but it should work on Nexus 7 for example, it won’t work on “budget smartphones” (as in, cheap), it apparently needs Tegra 3 SoC.
配置需求:
A：iPad2/3/4, iPhone4/5 (4代不确定)；
B：安卓系统要复杂些,比如Nexus 7应该可以；屌丝配置的话可能不行
,显然这个游戏需要Tegra 3或更高配置.
– the battles will be realtime 7v7 7 V 7的战斗哦
– the vehicle grind will be faster than in WoT PC 车辆受损程度比pc版要差
– turret control is still secret 如何转炮塔还不知道
– account will be shared with WoT apparently 显然账号将和PC版通用.
28.3.2013
女带受损不影响地表适应性这个隐蔽参数 –CK：有待考察– there will be no alternative German heavy “Lowe”branch
不是有狮子的替换线– SerB states that the rumors about secret tank mobility nerfs are just rumors
SerB说那些削弱某些坦克的机动性只是乳摸而已– entire crew might be killed by a single penetrating (!) HE hit, HE shells that don’t penetrate are subjected to the “no more than half a crew killed by one shot” rule
HE蛋击穿后可能一发就带走全部车组；但没有击穿的话不会干掉超过一半的车组
– the ability of one tank to push another is a complicated parameter, consisting of engine power, suspension quality, weight of the tank and terrain slope – these forces combine and get compared to the motion vector, it’s not simply explained
顶牛这样的事很复杂滴，要考虑发动机功率，底盘，重量，甚至地表阻力等不是随便说两句就能说明白滴
– dynamic parameters in garage don’t have high priority
动态车库的优先级不高
– the bug where very thin fences slow down the tank a lot will be fixed
不起眼的小栅栏让车辆减速的BUG会修复的
– subcaliber rounds do have normalisation (the same as AP rounds), normalisation is calculated after it is decided by the engine whether the shell ricochets or not (so it cannot influence stuff like the “auto-ricochet” rule)
次口径弹种也有转正滴（和普通AP一样）转正实在决定了时候跳蛋之后才计算的（所以它并不影响绝对跳蛋）
