30.6.2013
– according to The_Chieftain, it’s possible (not anytime soon tho) that the T29 series of US heavy tanks will eventually be nerfed, because preliminary measuring suggest that the mantlets aren’t as thick as it was originally thought
根据美服The_Chieftain的说法，T29那一家子重坦可能会在以后被削弱，因为初步的测量显示这些铁头上的炮盾并不如原来WG认为的那样厚。

– SerB won’t tell, how EXACTLY is the XP income calculated
SerB不会透露经验收益的具体计算细节。

– apparently, regarding the earlier announced intention of SerB to remove the unhistorical buffs of the VK4502P, while moving it down a tier or two, its replacement could be the “Protomaus” (one of the Maus prototypes the developers ran across)
之前提过SerB希望把4502PB上不合历史的加强砍掉然后等级下降一或两级的做法，如果4502PB移走了，那么其九级车位置的替代者可能会是其中一个“老鼠原型”的设计。

– SerB states that while the HESH might be reconfigured for another mechanism, the spall liner will continue to work against it
SerB表示如果HESH弹以后做出了特有的伤害机制，内衬依然会继续对HESH弹有效。

– no new heavy lines have been introduced lately, because there are few candidates for them. They will come in time.
最近没有推出新的重坦线，是因为用来凑线的候补车辆不太够，至于什么时候能凑够车出新重坦线 —— “等做好的时候就会有了。”

– it’s possible there might be a new “Interesting mechanics” video, explaining the 8.6 changes
可能会推出一个新的官方视频来说明8.6在游戏机制上的变化。

– it’s possible the option (mentioned in March) to retrain various crewmembers to another role (for example radioman to gunner) will come in time, but it doesn’t have too high a priority, as there are “more important tasks” and implementing this would take like a month of work
三月份曾经提到过以后会有把车组成员训练成不同职位 (例如通信员转成炮手) 的功能，目前的情况还是“等做好了就会有”，因为这项功能的工作优先度不高，而开发组有“更多更重要的任务”要做。

– random games without platoons are not planned
没有计划提供没有组队的随机战场模式。

– there are no plans to nerf tank destroyers for now
目前没有削弱TD的计划。

– SerB said he predicted that the next target of mass whining will be the tank destroyers and that he was right
SerB说他曾预测下个被大规模抱怨的目标是TD —— 于是他猜对了。

– shells in WoT are not objects, they have no mass or dimensions, they are basically just dots (so are the points of impact they are not “holes”)
游戏里的炮弹不属于物体，它们没有重量和大小，它们实际上只是一个点 —— 炮弹打在装甲上的弹孔其实也只是一个点，不是一个真正的洞。

– SerB states it’s not true that a shell only has following parameters: penetration, damage, velocity, he also names caliber, base ricochet angle, base approach angle, damage to modules and splash. And that’s all.
SerB表示游戏里炮弹的数据并非只有穿深、伤害和飞行速度，其他还包括口径 (用来判断碾压效果、弹道粗细等)、基本跳弹角度、转正值(根据前后文，这个“基础到达角度”应该是指转正值) 、零件伤害以及爆炸半径。

– SerB confirms that since the RU7 server works with a special matchmaker version, then yes, at any point the developers can change the MM mechanism on various servers separately
因为Storm已经透露过俄服RU7分区正在测试一套特别的分房规则，所以SerB也承认WG可以独立改变个别服务器的分房规则。

– the WoWp open beta will be launched on 2nd July, but the unified premium account will come a bit later
战机世界的开放测试会在7月2日开始，不过通用VIP帐号还要再晚些才会推出。

– SerB is playing WoWp even for pleasure (not just as a job), he plays with mouse-keyboard and
SerB也会玩战机世界来当作娱乐，他用的是键盘鼠标流操作方式。

– apparently, the preferred trees in Baltic countries and in China are Soviet
波罗的海地区的国家和天朝玩家比较偏好苏系坦克。

– it won’t be possible for players to choose their preferable MM spread (SS: some player actually wanted a -2/+4 spread for his KV)
不会提供“允许玩家自己选择更高分房范围”这种功能。 (有玩家表示希望可以选择像以前一样进比自己车等级高4级的房间，这样不组队就可以享受糊高级车一脸的快感。)

– keyboard indicator on password screen, tank carousel selection in the garage and aim sights with timers and colour choices are not considered too important by SerB
关于输密码画面的键盘指示标志、车库里的圆盘式车辆选择、官方装填时间显示还有准星颜色选择等功能，SerB并不认为它们非常重要。

– there are no plans to introduce a “cyclone filter” equivalent for German and American tanks
没有计划为德系和美系车辆增加类似苏系“燃油滤清器”功能的配件。

– Q: “There are too many KV-1S, will they get their 122mm removed?” A: “How terrible…”
– Q: “Will Hetzer lose its 105mm?” A: “How terrible…”
“KV-1S太多了，它们的122炮会砍掉吗？” “这太可怕了…”
“追猎者的105炮会砍掉吗？” “这太可怕了…”

– KV-1S will stay on tier 6 and will NOT lose its 122mm
KV-1S会留在6级，也 不会 砍掉122炮。

– it’s possible that when the hulls of the vehicles are interchangeable, the name of the tank will change with them, but for now this won’t be implemented (SS: there is a plan to introduce a feature that hulls will be unlockable as modules)
当以后可替换车体部件推出后，车辆的名字可能也会随装备的车体不同而改变。

– the “bamboo canes” on Chinese maps provide no camo bonus at all
中系地图上的那些“竹树丛”完全没有隐蔽效果。

– more realistic tank destruction model will come
以后会有更细节化的坦克摧毁效果。

– SerB states that since this answering is not his duty but his free time, he considers it a relaxation
SerB表示因为在这里回答问题不属于他的工作范围，所以他是把回答问题当作休闲放松的手段。

– MT-25 stats? “No comment on leaks, wait for patchnotes”
“你觉得MT-25的数据怎么样？”
“我不会对泄密信息发表意见，等官方补丁说明。”

– your game settings are stored on your computer, not on the server, it’s impossible for now to do it serverside
游戏选项设定是储存在你自己的电脑上，不是在服务器上，目前还无法提供服务器端储存功能。

– SerB confirms: E-79 is a fake tank, invented by the Japanese (modellers)
E-79是日本人编造出来的虚构车辆。 (我们大概都清楚这是永野老贼的手笔。)

– this situation is impossible in WoT, as the physical armor in the game is 0mm thick armor thickness is just a number
这个 ([图片链接])情况是不会在游戏里发生的，因为游戏里的装甲模型没有实际厚度，车辆装甲厚度只是分配给那些装甲模型平面上用来计算的数值。

– SerB states that while he had some threats with violence, noone never showed up
SerB表示，所有那些叫嚣过要废了SerB或端掉WG总部的人，到头来一个都没有出现过。

– no alternative turret designs for Indien-Panzer have been found, if some appear, the devs will add them to the game
开发部没有找到可以给三哥豹用的升级炮塔，如果找到，会做进游戏。

– T-44 is moving worse than T-54 (despite having a powerful engine), because “the suspension is obsolete”
T-44虽然有个强大的发动机，但机动也没有T-54好，因为T-44的履带悬挂系统太落后了。

– SU-14-2 elevation angle won’t be buffed
SU-14-2的仰角不会增加。

– periodical map changes are based on Wargaming’s interpretation of map statistics, such as sides winrates, places where tanks die etc.
那些定期的地图修改，是根据WG对地图的统计信息进行的，例如不同出生点的胜率，车辆被击毁的地点等等。

– the case where a new tank crew member is being added to a tank (the MT-25 case) has not happened before
关于这次MT-25替换，车组多了一个职位的情况，以前还没发生过。

– SerB states that the implementation of Japanese tanks into the game goes slowly. Wargaming did get some data, but SerB is asking players if anyone has any additional data on the Japanese heavies, send them
SerB表示日系车辆的制作正在缓慢进行，虽然WG有自己的资料获得渠道，但SerB也鼓励玩家提供额外的资料。

– Japanese medium tanks won’t be commented for now, but SerB comments on the Japanese tanks in general: medium tanks are ready (SS: as in all found), there are some issues with the heavies (not enough credible info on the O-I variants and the T10 tank), there are still tier 4 and 5 holes (Type 91 and Type 95 are tier 3 max, while the Iwakuro heavy tank goes to tier 6). As for tank destroyers, those are theoretically all found, but the developers are looking for more credible info on them (not the one found on the internet).
SerB大概谈了一下日系科技树：中坦线已经准备好，目前的问题是重坦线的车和资料都不太足够，4级和5级没有合适的车 (91式和95式最多3级，然后Iwakuro重坦去6级)，至于TD线，理论上已经决定好，不过开发人员还需要更多可靠的资料 (不是网上随便搜到的那些)。

– it’s possible, that the Japanese tree won’t come out with a heavy branch, but with TD’s and mediums only, or even with a light/medium branch, without TD’s and heavies.
日系线以后推出的时候，一开始可能会没有重坦线，而是先推出中坦和TD线，甚至重坦和TD都没有，只有轻/中坦线。

– Sturmtiger is still planned
突击虎依然在计划中。

– Chi-He and Chi-Nu Japanese tanks will appear as mediums
一式中战车Chi-He和三式中战车Chi-Nu会出现在日系中坦线。

– SerB confirms that the age of the tanks fighting each other is irrelevant, Leopard 1 fighting a T-44 is just fine
SerB表示坦克现实中服役的年代与游戏内的车辆性能并无太大关系。
(有玩家觉得如果T-44要面对豹1，按豹1存在的时代来算T-44应该获得现代弹药。)

– SerB states that the lower penetration of wartime Soviet guns is caused not by low quality gunpowder (which was partially imported from USA, thus being of good quality), but by bad armor-piercing shell design
SerB表示战争时期苏系炮穿深表现不好的原因不是发射药，而是穿甲弹头的设计有问题。

===================================================================
1.7.2013

First some info from the developers from a recent post on the RU WoT blog:

– apparently, the fact that The_Chieftain did measure the mantlet of the T29 to be thinner than what Hunnicutt suggests does not imply that the T29 mantlet will be nerfed, it will be re-checked eventually
The_Chieftain对于T29炮盾的测量结果虽然比Hunnicutt的资料上的数据要薄，并不意味着T29炮盾一定会削弱，开发人员会继续检讨各种数据。

– IS-4 (SS: frontal) armor was not nerfed in 8.6, according to Storm
Storm表示IS-4的首上装甲并没有在8.6被削弱。

Regular:

– it is confirmed that there will be NO tier 5 Soviet light tank after 8.7: T-50 will remain at tier 4 (SS: it was leaked earlier that it will lead to T-34) and the MT-25 will move to tier 6 (SS: and will be unlockable from KV-1S, to which the T-50 experience will be transferred in 8.7 apparently)
苏系科技树终于确认了一件比较奇葩的事：8.7里将不会有5级苏系轻坦 —— T-50会留在4级 (并且根据之前的泄露情报，下一级车会连到T-34上面)，替换T-50-2的MT-25则会移到6级 。(并且MT-25变成从KV-1S路线研发，所以8.7超测里T-50上的个体经验被转移到了KV-1S上)

– KV-1S 122mm gun nerf? “Penetration will stay, it’s historical. Other characteristics of the gun can be nerfed or buffed if needed. And we decide what’s needed.”
“KV-1S的122炮会削弱吗？”
“穿深符合历史，不会动。其他数据在必要时可以削弱或增强，至于什么才叫必要，我们说了算。”

– Storm confirms that weight of the ammo does not count towards the tank weight (SS: ammo simply has no weight in WoT)
Storm再次重申游戏里的弹药没有重量。

– the possibility of retraining crewmembers to different roles: when it’s done it’s done (but not soon)
关于把车组人员训练成另一职位的功能。“等做好了就有。”，而且最近都不会做得好。

– when considering what modules to take for a scout, the module weight does play a role in the vehicle’s maneuverability, so it is worth considering
部件重量会影响侦察车的机动，所以调整数据时会把这个也纳入考虑范围。

– it is actually possible to shoot a tank straight thru (the shell penetrates, goes thru the tank, penetrates again and goes out on the other side) as long as the 10 caliber rule is observed (SS: a shell that enters the tank travels inside only the distance of its caliber*10, eg. a 150mm shell will travel 1500mm inside)
(这条SS的英文翻译有问题，俄服原文看来也有点问题，要有人实际测试过才能确定。)
“一发炮弹能不能打穿一辆坦克的某个部分，然后打中同一辆坦克的另一个部分？例如找辆白兔来，从查涤纶25t炮塔后上方把炮弹打进去，能不能打中发动机？10倍口径规则是否适用？”
“有可能。”
(原问题表达得不是太清楚，但肯定没有说是两次打穿主装甲，所以英文版的描述有问题。)

– when asked about a possibility to introduce Soviet tanks with improvised armor (skirts, for example), he stated that later tanks had overloaded frontal wheels even as it was, so any “normal” vehicles with screen armor are the late (postwar) ones
当问到有没可能推出加装额外装甲的苏系车时，SerB表示那些都是(战后)很后期的车。

– VK4502P won’t become a T8 premium tank
VK4502PB不会变成8级金币车。

– the prototype Maus design viable for T9 comes from one recently published German book
关于可以作为9级车的老鼠原型，其资料来自最近出版的德国书籍。

SS: you can read about the Maus prototypes here:
下面是以前在SS博客上有关的几篇文章：
VK100.01P This is how Maus started
[http://ftr-wot.blogspot.cz/2013/04/this-is-how-maus-started.html]
Typ 205 Porsche Unleashed

Typ 205A Porsche Unleashed II
[http://ftr-wot.blogspot.cz/2013/04/porsche-unleashed-typ-205a-mauschen.html]

– actually, SerB states Wittman’s medal was removed at German request
SerB表示，当初游戏里“魏特曼勋章”被移除是来自德国方面的要求。

– while camo factor for vehicles is assigned manually (and not automatically, based on their dimensions), width of the vehicle does play the biggest role
车辆的隐蔽系数是由人手一辆一辆决定的 (而不是根据游戏模型大小自动计算)，其中车辆的宽度在设定隐蔽系数时影响最大。

– Q: “Arties are overnerfed” A: “How terrible…”
“火炮削弱得太过分了。”
“这太可怕了…”

– according to Storm, the piece of information that German Panther tanks lose their top engines in supertest is garbage, however SerB later confirms it: Panthers will lose unhistorical top engines and possibly gain new historical ones, he states that overall the top configuration gameplay won’t change
Storm表示之前超测泄漏消息里说黑豹会失去顶级发动机是胡说八道，不过后来SerB又补充：黑豹们只是会失去不符合历史的发动机，然后可能换上符合历史的发动机，完全体黑豹的性能会大致保持不变。

– T92 lost its top engine, since “it doesn’t need it”
T92失去了顶级发动机。“因为没有必要。”

– developers don’t get free tanks for their personal accounts, they buy them both SerB and V.Kisly (owner of WG) do. Only journalists do get free tanks for their accounts and only temporarily
开发人员不会在他们的个人游戏账号上免费拿到车辆，他们要自己花钱来买，包括SerB和V.Kisly (WG的CEO)也是这样。只有媒体记者使用的特殊账号能拿到免费的车辆，而且是有限期的。

– vehicle repair price is not tied to its performance, it’s set independently
车辆的修理费用不是由车辆性能决定，而是独立设定的。

– more detailed tank models? “when it’s done it’s done”, even object models will get improved
“更精细的车辆模型？”
“做好了就有，包括地图上的物体也会有更精细的模型。”

– the tank horn idea was scrapped
坦克喇叭这个主意已经废弃了。

– unified account silver apparently won’t be shared between WoWp and WoT
虽然账号会共通，但银币看来不会在不同游戏间通用。

– new tier 7 premium heavy tank? “Not anytime soon”
“新的7级金币重坦？”
“最近不会有。”

– the difference between 112 and WZ-111 is “hull shape”
“112和WZ-111的分别在哪？”
“车体外形。”

– WZ-111 and Type 62 will most likely come to the shops (SS: the question is aimed at RU server, but I doubt it would be any different for other servers)
“WZ-111和62式会在俄服商店出现吗？即使只是短期销售也好啊。”
“不保证，非常非常不能保证。”
(天朝玩家表示非常非常淡定。)

– the T-50-2 will not turn into a premium vehicle
T-50-2不会变成金币车。

– new tier 8 premium vehicles? “Will tell when the time is right”
“新的8级金币车？”
“等有了就告诉你。”

– night battles are still planned, SerB will tell more (for example on how the lights will work) when the time is right
夜战模式依然在计划中，SerB表示时间合适了就会公布更多内容。
