- new "superheavy" tank class - not certain, but if it comes, most superheavies will be re-classified today's heavies (Maus, E-100) rather than new tanks (SS: the only other nation with superheavies that comes to my mind is Japan)
- SerB states he doesn't hate German tanks, only idiots
- the "camo" zone appears where the crown of the fallen tree is, its shape is a simplified shape of the crown
- during very long queue times (during least populated hours), sometimes it happens a vehicle gets dropped into a battle it normally wouldn't drop into (MM spread is ignored)
- devs make special "combat maps" for internal purposes, where areas of intensive fighting are shown
- Leopard 1 will not use HESH
- IS-2, KV-1S and VK3601 - there is no special mechanism that would make them ricochet more
- regarding battles filled with tanks of one tier: Storm states this doesn't happen too often and doesn't consider it a problem
- Lowe and M6A2E1 won't get better MM spread
- Tank in tall grass doesn't get any camo bonus, neither does a tank that is mostly hidden and only a part of the turret looks out or partially hidden behind an object
- "hardcore" mode has been abandoned altogether
- Panzer IV Ausf.K ("Panzer IV with Schmalturm and sloped frontal armor") is not planned
- if you see some account with the name you want, which played 42 battles and last time logged in one year ago, you can't do anything, such an account counts as active, support won't help you
- new garage filters planned
- currently, both open and city maps are developed
- separate statistics for damage done when lit by you - not planned
- 8.4 introduced a bug with the display of amount of criticals in post-battle statistics, it's just a display bug - the real amount of crits has not changed

    1. Even better would be, if they removed the HESH from the british tanks, too.
      But now ... no one will care for them ... :(

    1. Yes. And as far as we know, just a title.

    2. There certainly won't be very many of them, not like the potential for the "assault SPG" class.

    6. There are a few superheavies:
      KV-4, KV-5, IS-7, TOG II*, Löwe, Maus, and E-100.
      T-95 and Tortoise are also superheavies, but are tank destroyers.
      Other superheavies not in the game yet include:
      FCM F1, FCM 2C, TOG I, and O-I.

    1. Wait, the description sounds like the Panzer IV improvement project W1466. O_o I like!

      Delete
    2. (just googeled it) It is the damn W1466!

      Delete
  4. Damn. Regarding Panzer IV Ausf.K - does anyone know some decent modders-re-modelers, because it's my long lasting wish to replace VK3001H with Ausf.K model?

  5. Hey any news on the brand new Nvidia beta drivers?

  6. I believe that KV 4 could be classified as "superheavy" tank too.

    1. you are absolutely correct,kv-4 was in fact classed as superheavy tank in design plans

      Delete
  7. with the fact, that the leo 1 doesnt use HESH does this mean, that the leo 1 prototype doesnt use HESH, too?

  8. What's the point in classifying as "Super-Heavy" I mean it's not like the Maus can get better MM.

  9. If the Leo does not use HESH, then it is just a slightly faster E50 M with absolutely no armor. Not going to be worth the extra garage slot. Same gun on the Brit tank is 6.45 rate of fire, so no DPM advantage either.

    1. I think it will have better RoF than brit, something like t62a, even a bit more. And im glad it wont use HESH, it would almost kill that tank in CW usage. But still im not shure if its not some kind of trolling and they will give it "magic HE rounds" (which does not equal HESH ;) as they said before.

  10. What does he mean the only other nation to use superheavies was Japan? - The T-95 was always stated to be a 'super-heavy' tank and was American.
    there are plenty of weird and wonderful super-heavy project tanks from Soviet Russia and even Britain and Italy to have a new category.

  11. "SerB states he doesn't hate German tanks, only idiots"
    It's disgusting that he's still defending that there isn't kraut-hate in this game. Guess what he really meant by that is he thinks all German tanks and people who like them are idiots.

    1. If German tanks are crap, you can always switch to some other nation and stop whining. It works.
