Tier 8 – STA-1 (some older trees have STA-1 as tier 9, but it will be tier 8 apparently)

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.

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:
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°
