Hello everyone, okay, let’s make a small experiment. Here’s a video from Sir_Havoc. He’s not a really big videomaker yet, but I had a look at some of his videos and I rather like them. He’s an okay player too. The thing is, it’s possible he’s wrong on some accounts – so let’s give him a feedback to become even better. What do you think about his video? Did he forget something? What would you improve?
Hello everyone, Wargaming learned from their mistake and did let us test the new upcoming premium vehicles, that will be sold for money – STA-2 and AMX Chasseur de Chars (furthermore referred to as AMX CDC). Let’s have a look at them. AMX CDC Model in garage:
Hello everyone, Russian Wotfan channel published a video with a preview of the upcoming premium vehicles. Check it out. – ISU-130 is a special vehicle for moderators. It’s not very fast and agile and the armor is meh, but the gun is okay. – AMX-13/57 is tier 7 premium French light tank with super-rapid fire autoloader (57mm with 143/195mm penetration, magazine reloads for 15 seconds). The tank is fast, but NOT very nimble though. – STA-2 is much like STA-1, but it’s slower and not very agile and has poor armor. Penetration of the 90mm is 185mm, but it has 275mm HEAT rounds. – AMX CDC has a good gun and insane agility and speed, but no armor whatsoever. Gold rounds have interesting 259mm penetration. The vehicle is a second-line support tank thanks to its lack of armor. Neither CDC nor STA-2 have limited MM.
Hello everyone, a bunch of small things, that happened on the supertest. First and foremost, some Russian leaker webs started showing the pictures of premium Tiger L/56 again. You might remember that this vehicle was leaked some time ago. It’s basically nothing else than premium Tiger I with 88mm L/56 (with identical model and characteristics to the non-premium one) as a premium vehicle. This vehicle however apparently was just an experiment to figure the suitability of the tank for eventual future release. As far as I know, its release is not planned. M4 Improved was changed yet again, this time it was nerfed – reload time went up from 3,644s to 3,836s, reducing the DPM from 1811,3 to 1720,7. And, finally, AMX Chasseur de Chars, upcoming French tier 8, was seen in supertester hands in random battles lately. It’s possible this vehicle will be introduced in patch 9.6 along with Japanese tier 8 medium, STA-2 – not certain though.

Hello everyone, in patch 9.6, new French premium vehicle arrived to the premium shop – the AMX Chasseur de Chars, AKA AMX CDC – and there’s a post on Russian portal, describing the vehicle in detail. The characteristics of the vehicle in the article are presented as such: Hitpoints: 1400 Maximum load: 37,8 tons Hull traverse: 40 deg/s Maximum speed: 57 km/h Engine: 1200 hp/t Engine fire chance: 15 percent Power-to-weight: 34,8 hp/t Hull armor: 30/20/20 Turret armor: 30/20/20 DPM: 1970 Gun: 90mm AC DCA 45 ROF: 8,22 RPM Penetration: 212/259/45 Damage: 240/240/320 Accuracy: 0,34 Aimtime: 2,2s Elevation: -10/+20 Turret traverse: 38 deg/s Viewrange: 390 meters Radio range: 750 meters Armor:
Hello everyone, here’s a whole bunch of info from the “Insider”, he was really busy :) Please note one thing: this is an info, gleaned from leaking WG internal conversations and chain letters, but the summary is insider’s representation of what the developer things. It can be wrong, but I try to doublecheck some of the info with other sources and post only the stuff that actually fits, so it should be reliable. First, some random stuff – for Xbox, M6A2E1 arrives on 2.3.2015 (non HD) – for PC, M6A2E1 will not be sold again (applies to EU and NA), the intent to make its owners stay really special, armor is still planned for rebalance (historical armor) when the HD model appears – American T18 TD will be converted to artillery during the next big artillery rebalance patch. Artillery rebalance will happen at some point in the future, the one thing that could accelerate it is if the 9.6 accuracy changes prove to be really bad for arty class, otherwise it will take a very long time and has low priority. This change is the work of one of the US staff, likely The_Chieftain (SS: yup, IIRC, the proposed way is T18 – arty, replaced by T3HMC?) – Minsk is getting tired of WG EU mismanagement of regular-to-unsatisfactory quality of customer service and are already planning something for it, however details are not shared by messages. A meeting is at hand. This means a lot of stuff, as WG will have to make changes to each and every language and their PR/Customer Support systems in order to “weed out” the deficiencies.
Hello everyone, patch 9.6 introduced two premium tanks to World of Tanks: AMX CDC and STA-2. Wargaming (RU) made an introductory post to both – the CDC was posted previously (translated by FTR) and here’s the second one, based on the article on Russian portal. The characteristics of the vehicle in the article are presented as such: Hitpoints: 1420 Maximum load: 37 tons Hull traverse: 44 deg/s Maximum speed: 45 km/h Engine: 500 hp Engine fire chance: 15 percent Power-to-weight: 14,7 hp/t Hull armor: 45/35/25 Turret armor: 70/60/35 DPM: 2028 Gun: 90mm Rifled Gun ROF: 8,45 RPM Penetration: 185/275/45 Damage: 240/240/320 Accuracy: 0,37 Aimtime: 2,2s Elevation: -10/+13 Turret traverse: 44 deg/s Viewrange: 380 meters Radio range: 720 meters Armor:
Please note that STA-2 and AMX CDC have full (regular) MM, that’s why they are not present.
An interesting article about how Serbian army is getting rid of tanks. Oh yes and WG NA has a special event, where you can buy a Type 62 for 50 bucks for 24 hours. And one more thing: just got another email saying “where’s the translations today” – apart from the “don’t rush me” answer (obviously, I’d do it faster if I could), please “like” the Facebook FTR page (if you are into the whole FB thing), I usually write there if there are some issues or delays. – gold ammo will not be removed from the game – the AMX-30 “branch” will consist of only two vehicles: AMX-30 prototype and AMX-30 – regarding various attempts of players to propose a full French medium branch: “The fact that you consider it possible to implement doesn’t mean it actually is, there are reasons why it isn’t.” – Storm confirms that Havok was shelved for a complete overhaul, it won’t come anytime soon
