WoT CT 1.20: ST-62 Version 2 Changes

~ KSA ~ 14 Comments

ST-62 Version 2 (USSR, Tier-8, MT, premium)
The tank was moved from tier 10 to tier 8 and changed a lot. Now it is a MT, not a LT.
Historical reference:
In the early 1960s, Mobile Vehicle Engineering Institute #100 in Leningrad developed a medium tank with the code name ST-62 Version 2. An emphasis was put on protecting the vehicle from the destructive effects of nuclear weapons (i.e., radiation and shock waves). Initially, the project suggested an unmanned turret, with the whole crew being placed in the hull. However, partners could not produce the autoloader and electronics in time, so a loader/autoloader operator was placed in the turret, as the loading process could not be fully automated. Instead of the standard viewing devices, television observation was planned to be used. Cameras were placed on the front of the hull and on the turret. Gun operation was also supposed to be remote. The tank was developed with multiple gun and engine variants. The project did not go beyond the blueprint stage.

WoT ST: LKpz.70 K Detailed Stats

~ KSA ~ 7 Comments

LKpz.70 K (Germany, Tier-10, LT, premium, mechanics: hydropneumatic suspension)

The tank has a hydropneumatic suspension depending on the speed of the tank. A similar mechanic is present in 🇸🇪UDES 15/16 or🇯🇵STB-1.
With the use of hydropneumatic suspension, the tank reaches a record -17 degrees. At the moment, this is one of the highest indicators in the game.

The premium status of the tank will most likely change by the release.

WoT CT 1.20: TITT Rozanov Detailed Stats

~ KSA ~ 10 Comments

TITT Rozanov (USSR, Tier-8, Premium, MT)
The tank has no unique mechanics, but it has a very interesting appearance.
Historical reference:
A project of the self-taught engineer Rozanov. The fighting tank had thick, angled armor plates, its suspension was protected by folding screens, and the main feature was the addition of driven “battle rollers” in the front. They were supposed to protect suspension from mines and shells and, if needed, be raised up. Rozanov’s other ideas included armored protection for tank-borne infantry, as well as a shell delivery system involving a chain-driven autoloader. The project was rejected by GABTU, as “battle rollers” could not be used as a mine clearer in reality, and some other suggestions were not developed enough from an engineering standpoint.

WoWS: Improvements to island collision mechanics – Closed testing

~ Sebastianul ~ 1 Comment

In the near future, we will begin testing some improvements aimed at solving the occasional issue of ships getting stuck on or near islands.

The changes being tested involve updating the collision model of islands to exactly match their shorelines as visible from above water. This will put a stop to situations in which a ship passing near an island could get stuck in place and lose the ability to properly maneuver, even when there was no apparent visual contact between the ship and the land.

With the changes implemented, ships that come too close to land will “slip” away from it, thereby helping them to continue moving freely. If, however, a ship crashes bow-first into an island, it will still need to use the reverse gear to break free.

The map “Hotspot” has been updated to test these changes. If successful, we will gradually begin implementing the technique to all maps in the game.

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary.

WoT: Experimental Equipment Stats Revised, Giveaway to Resume February 8

~ KSA ~ 10 Comments


Stats Changes

The purpose of introducing Experimental Equipment into the game is to give you more options to fine-tune your vehicles. No single tank configuration is perfect, but Experimental Equipment can help you find the one that suits your playstyle by allowing you to prioritize different stats.

Efficiency-wise, Experimental Equipment at Upgrade Level III should be well below Improved Equipment and just above Bounty Equipment. According to the data, it performed above our projections and we have modified its parameters accordingly, as shown in the table below.
