SS: this was submitted by Vilgundr (NA), it’s a rather interesting insight. Of course, this info is a bit older (few days back at least), but still, interesting.


Just figured you may find this useful as theres been many comments about which server makes Wargaming the most money etc.

I found Wargamings annual Financial Statements for 2012 which are listed on the Cryprus stock exchange here: http://oam.cse.com.cy/Announcement/announcementvariation/4692

Now not sure how the other servers are or how much they know about this but in the financial statements it shows a breakdown of revenue by region. I’ll include my posts on the NA forum which got moved to offtopic which breaks it down a little.

The 2012 reported revenue for Wargaming was broken down in the following way in their Annual
Report. (Was in Euros, changed it to U.S funds and made it simple to read)

Well, I translated the whole thing, only to notice WG did it by themselves. *sigh* Oh well, at least the EU people aren’t sitting on their asses and jerking each other off as usual. The english version can be found here.

Here are a few points Storm answered in discussion:

– the visibility range system will stay as it is now
– if you have a spall liner installed and it gets changed to another type (Jagdpanzer E-100 case for example, that one will get the superheavy one), the old one will be uninstalled and the new one will be put into your depot
– the reason for the spall liner buff is that big heavy tanks make fat targets for arty
– more info will come on friday
– tracks act as spaced armor against HEAT in the following way: let’s say a vehicle has 40cm thick tracks, which are 10cm away from the hull. In this case, if a HEAT shell impacts on the tracks, it will lose 5 percent of penetration for each 10cm from the point of detonation, plus the amount of penetration for the tracks armor value, eg. in this case, 5*(50/10)+25 percent from tracks armor value
– armor screens modules for tanks will not come anytime soon

Just a few more tidbits from Storm’s comments:

– 0.9.0 (SS: for which the complete rework of camo mechanism is planned) will come much later
090版本会晚点放出! (隐蔽机制变更)

– regarding the mentioned economy changes: “Many people will be surprised.”

– core mechanics changes in 0.8.6 have already been disclosed, eg. for example more changes in penetration mechanism won’t come in 0.8.6

– during the 0.8.6 arty changes, when you have for example a on tier 6 only improved suspension unlocked and it gets moved to tier 7, both the tier 6 and tier 7 vehicles will have a new suspension unlocked. If you have a new suspension unlocked for tier 8 arty and it gets moved to tier 10, which has no new suspension, you will apparently lose that XP (eg. recieve no compensation)

This is what SerB posted yesterday when asked about Chinese tank destroyers.

As you can see, it’s a T-54 hull with some superstructure, the gun looks like something 100mm. According to wot-news, there is a high probability this will appear as T7 or T8 Chinese premium TD.

Storm: LeFH 18 premium arty gets overhauled
