Okay, today’s news – FTR was down for half a day and we don’t know why, something created insane traffic, but it seems to be alright now. We think someone hotlinked the pictures from FTR too much. Sorry for that, everything should be fully functional right now.
好嘞，今天的新闻—FTR的服务器Down了半天，我们还找不出原因。有什么东西导致流量暴增，但是现在好一些了。我们认为有人好像直接把图片从FTR链出去，而那边流量过大导致服务器Down掉了。很抱歉，现在一切应该都没问题了。
According to Storm, 9.0 test will come tomorrow.
根据Storm所说，明天9.0的测试就开始了。
– regarding WoT Blitz, “developers are more familiar with iOS than with Android”, that’s why iOS version comes earlier (there however will be android version as well)
关于WOT的移动版，“开发团队对IOS比对安卓更加熟悉”，这就是为什么IOS版早一些推出（但是一样会有安卓版的）
– regarding the T-54, Tiger and Sherman models, released today: each of them is a bit graphically different. This is intentional: there are several ways that the developers (graphic designers) can follow and the goal (of test 9.0) is to find out, which one do the players prefer and then to follow it
关于今天放出的T-54，虎式以及谢尔曼的模型：它们每一个在画面效果上都有一些不同。这个是有意为之的：开发团队（画面设计师）有好几种可以追踪大众反映的办法，而（9.0测试服）的目标就是追踪大众究竟喜欢哪一种，并按照这样的方式做新的模型。
– in first round of 9.0 test, only 3 HD models will appear (T-54, Tiger, Sherman), the remaining 7 will come in 2nd round
9.0测试服的第一轮中只会有三个高清模型（T-54，虎式，谢尔曼），剩下7个第二轮再出
– the rest of the models will apparently be reworked to follow one of these three variants in style
剩下的模型会以三个模型中的一个为蓝本全部重制
– the HD color of Tiger is historical Panzergrau
高清版虎式的颜色就是史实的坦克灰
（Panzergrau: Panzer Gray的德文——译注）
– the HD T-54 hull is the “new” one (with log in the back), it will get the older hull once alternative hulls are implemented as well
高清版T-54的车身是“新的”那个（后头有木头的），等可选车身被加入游戏之后就能再选老的那个了。
– the HD T-54 turret shape is correct, there were several types of shapes and mantlets
高清版T-54炮塔的形状是正确的，炮塔的形状有很多种，炮盾也是
– the fact T-54 HD model doesn’t have holes in tracks (and the other two HD models do) is a bug, it will be fixed
T-54的高清模型在履带中间没有洞的问题（但是其他两个高清模型有）是个Bug，会被修复的
– currently, the best modelled (material-wise, eg. metal and such) HD tank is the Sherman, the fact it looks a bit like a plastic toy is actually historical, it looks much like the real vehicle (where Tiger has it a bit worse)
现在看来建模最好的（从材质角度来讲，栗如金属什么的）高清坦克是谢尔曼，它看上去很像塑料玩具这点其实是史实的，它看起来很像真车（虎式反而差一些）
– 9.0 test will come out “within days” (Evilly states that if all goes well – this week even, but it won’t be a regular 9.0 test of a complete patch, rather than a partial test of the components, that are already finished)
9.0的测试服会在“这几天”就放出（Evilly表示说如果一切顺利—那就是这个礼拜了，但是这次测试不像以前是对9.0客户端的完整测试，而只是对现有的做完了的东西的一次测试罢了）
– Storm stated that the fact that the Tiger I in game looks very smooth (as in, the paint is glossy and smooth) is historical, that’s how the vehicles looked (unless they were repainted 50 times)
Storm表示游戏内的虎式看上去非常光滑（就是说油漆看上去又光滑又有光泽）是史实的，历史上这些车就长这样（除非重新上了50多次漆）
– all German models will become darker, they will be repainted the way the HD Tiger is
所有的德国模型都会变暗，它们会被像高清虎式一样重新上色
– Q: “Want rust and dirty look? Go play the other game” (SS: War Thunder)
问：“想要有铁锈和脏兮兮的坦克？去玩其他游戏”（SS：战争雷霆）
– War Thunder Tiger model looks really good, because according to Storm, it was a showcase model where many polygons were used, while later models have significantly fewer polygons
Storm表示战争雷霆的虎式的模型看上去真的很不错的原因是它是个用来展示的模型，所以用了很多多边形在上面，而后面其他模型的多边形数量就急剧下降了。
– Maus HD model is being worked on
正在搞鼠式的高清模型
– the main goal of test 9.0 will be the testing of historical battles
9.0测试的主要目标是测试历史战
– HD IS-3 will come either in 9.1 or 9.2
高清的IS-3会在9.1或者9.2内出现
– apparently, the IS-3 model is, angle-wise, correct as it is now
IS-3的模型在角度上来讲现在是没问题的
– this year, improved graphics will transfer to DirectX 11
今年，增强画面效果会被转移到DirectX 11上
– Dx11 support will come after multi core support
对Dx11的支持会在多核处理支持之后出现
– according to BigAngryCat, there was a small issue with the Sherman texture. Apparently, the first idea was that under the scratches in paint, there should be primer color visible. It turned out that Americans actually didn’t need to use primer, because they actually treated the armor so that its surface was sort of “rough” and the color “soaked” into it, creating a very persistent layer of paint
根据BigAngryCat的说法，谢尔曼的贴图现在有点小问题。最初的想法是这样的，在坦克表面的划痕下面应该能够看到底漆的颜色。但是后来他们发现美国人根本就没用过底漆， 因为他们对装甲表面做过处理，所以表面有些“粗糙”，所以颜色就“浸透”进了装甲，这样就创造了一个非常持久的漆层。
– alternative hulls will come in 9.4 or later
可选车身会在9.4或者更后面的版本搞出来
– HD models (updated ones) will have the independent suspension
高清模型（升级版们）会有独立悬挂的
-One more Tiger I comparison

Oh yea, and Storm’s “leak”: new hangar (premium)
