1.12.1: “Mangut” 3D Style for Object 274A – Pictures

~ Sebastianul ~ 7 Comments

Style treated as historical, valued at 2,500 gold.

Description:

— Okay, one more time… This wire goes from the generator to the rear lights, this one to… What does it go to? Heating, probably. And where is the ground lead? I swear I just held it in my hand. This is a live wire, but it’s not black for some reason… Dammit, Ivashchenko, you just had to break your arm and set me up like that. Now I have to dig through miles of wires and I’m not good at it at all. Which one of these is live? This one? Why isn’t it black then? Now, this has to be the ground—it’s connected to the armor. I’m telling you, Ivashchenko, if this tank starts and doesn’t electrocute anyone, you’ll owe me one.

Yeah, it’s nothing like painting a camo with a brush. Only three colors there, it’s hard to mess up… Continue reading “1.12.1: “Mangut” 3D Style for Object 274A – Pictures” →

Update 1.12.1: Common Test 1 Is Now Available (+ Patchnotes)

~ Sebastianul ~ 7 Comments

Today marks the launch of the first Common Test of Update 1.12.1, which doesn’t introduce many new features. However, you can try out the improved Sniper view options for tank destroyers and some other tanks with limited turret traverse angles. You can now unlock their hulls in Sniper mode.

Switching the Hull Lock: Every Second Is Crucial

Currently, it is not very convenient to aim in the Sniper view mode in non-turreted tank destroyers and some other tanks. By default, when you enter Sniper mode, the hull is automatically locked and you cannot aim outside of the aiming angles. And this is a tricky moment because sometimes, if you want to move the crosshair to a different point, you need to switch to Arcade aiming mode and rotate your vehicle in the enemy’s direction. Only then can you activate Sniper mode again and aim further. In the heat of battle, when every second counts, these precious moments could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

The hull will remain locked by default for tank destroyers and other vehicles with horizontal fixed-angle guns. You will see the red light in Sniper mode, notifying you that the hull lock setting is activated. But now, you can disable it manually in the game settings and set it as default by ticking the box in the corresponding menu:

With hull lock disabled, the gameplay of these vehicles will be similar to that of Swedish TDs and high-tier medium tanks featuring Siege mode. Your camera in Sniper mode will rotate freely so you can quickly change your firing position. If this option remains enabled, these vehicles will fight the same way as before.
