WoT: Possible Low-Tier Autocannons Nerf

~ Sebastianul ~ 14 Comments

Source: Denton_0451, EU Forums

So I was busy today the whole day and just had time to get the daily mission for Tank rewards. I logged on and joined a battle in the T7 Combat car that was one of my favourite low tier tanks. Sadly I had to realize that either it was broken recently or was stealth nerfed (no patchnotes indicated a change in the vehicles) with it’s MG brother, the Light Mk. VIC alongside. Previously if you held down the fire button the gun fired until it ran out of ammo, like in the following video at 0:59:

Today though both tanks had to wait 0,5-1 seconds between the 5 round bursts killing off the fun and effectiveness of the tanks as the DPM was decreased and you have to stay in the open for longer if you want to empty the whole magazine on a target. Here is a video comparison of the current shooting mechanic:

Last time I’ve played with it a few weeks ago the machine gun worked like it was supposed to do so I suspect something happened in the patch 1.10.1. Other autocannon wielding tanks might be affected too, I haven’t had the time to check those.

November Tank Rewards

~ Sebastianul

Source: EU Portal

It was on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 when the armistice halting the War to End All Wars was signed in Compiègne, France. The guns fell silent in Europe and World War I was over, but the level of destruction and human suffering that had occurred in the previous four years was vast and is almost impossible for us, more than 100 years later, to grasp.

November 11 is known as Remembrance Day throughout Great Britain, the Commonwealth, and most of Europe. Additionally, many other countries have special days in November that are focused on the end of war, bringing an end to violence, and honoring those who fought and gave their lives for freedom and peace.

The Tank Rewards missions from November 6 at 06:00 CET through November 30 at 06:00 CET (UTC+1) are likewise dedicated to Remembrance Day and the end of war. Collect Tank Reward points and unlock rewards from 5 reward tiers. Each new tier contains even better rewards, such as Personal Reserves, plenty of in-game goods, and Premium tanks.

You have until December 3 to claim any rewards from this month’s event. Any vehicles already owned will be compensated in credits.

Supertest: Aufklärungspanzer Panther (Initial Stats)

~ Sebastianul ~ 16 Comments

The Aufklärungspanzer Panther, a German Tier VII light tank, is coming to the Supertest today.

This vehicle was previously available in the German Tech Tree, and its updated version will have some features in common with the old one. The Aufklärungspanzer Panther is quite large and has great armor for a light tank. The thickness of the frontal armor plates is 85 mm at most. The vehicle top speed can reach up to 55 km/h, and has a specific power of 22.3 h.p./t. The view range is 380 m, with a durability of 1,000 hit points.

This light tank is equipped with a 75 mm gun that causes 135 damage per shot. The gun has good stabilization, but its accuracy is 0.33m and an aiming time of 1.6 s. Reloading takes 5.5 s. One of the vehicle’s most unusual features is that it has no HE shells vehicle, only standard (157 mm of penetration) and special (205 mm of penetration) shells.

The Aufklärungspanzer Panther embodies the idea of a heavy reconnaissance vehicle. Components of both medium and light tanks went into its design. Thanks to its mobility and good gun handling parameters, this vehicle can support medium tanks by both spotting and damaging enemies.

Vehicle stats can change on the Supertest.

WoWS ST, changes to attack aircraft

~ Sebastianul ~ 2 Comments

In the near future a closed test of concept of the following changes to attack aircraft will be conducted:

  • The length of attack animation is increased by 2.5 – 3 times: rockets are launched with a delay after the left mouse button is pressed;
  • The speed at which crosshair is reducing is increased, and the penalty to reduction for maneuvering is lowered.
  • Markers showing the exact spot which each rocket will hit are added. This markers are shown not only for the aircraft carrier player, but also to the ships which are being attacked.

The change to the shape of attack aircraft crosshair in Update 0.9.7 gave destroyers a possibility to stick to a common tactic to avoid rocket attacks. During the test, ships — especially destroyers — will have more time to react and it will be easier for them to lower or completly evade damage from rockets with the correct maneuver, and changes to the crosshair will make starting an attack run easier for aircraft carriers.

Please note that if the results are positive at the end of the test, detailed information about the future usage of this concept will follow. All information in the development blog is preliminary and subject to change during testing. Any showcased features may or may not end up on the main server.
