Best Replays of the Week International #21

 Good morning everyone.

While I was preparing myself to start working, I was looking at the latest videos and spotted that Wargaming Europe has released a new Best Replays of the Week International. It would actually be quite a good series if they released it weekly… instead of monthly. Still, enjoy.

Interview – Konstantin Soldatov (Foton)

Hey everyone, the following is an interview with Konstantin Soldatov (Foton) with PROTanki. Hope you enjoy and let us know what you think on the comments.
– new physics partially influences ramming, however the formula and principles of damage did not change;
– driving into new places which break gameplay will be removed, such places were found already but they are rare;
– movement over the red line in supertest is a bug, will be fixed;
– new patch will give a boost to FPS;
– sixth sense sound will be considered, as players grew accustomed to mods where sixth sense makes a sound;
– there is still the system of 3 ground types, however now there are 25-30 parameters of a tank’s movement, earlier there were 6;
– FV4202 will recieve a “good buff”;
– HD penetration decals – too early to talk about that;
– influence of surroundings on sounds – the new engine also allows this, sounds will be worked on further;
– 5.1 and 7.1 support is considered, but usage of such systems is small;
– there is a list of ideas on new sounds;
– the dog from T-34-85 Rudy is a recording of a real dog;
– time of the day – not a priority, very long ASAP;
– 9.14 will come in March (TN: upholding their promise of polishing things);
– adding talk between the crew would lift the rating to 16+;
– a damaged engine will now sound differently;
– a decision on vehicles with very high alpha is not yet made;
– improving possibilities of in-game communications is being considered;
 

World of Tanks Server Maintenance

announcement

Seems tomorrow, February 18th, we got incoming maintenance on several servers across all Communities.

North America Servers

  • West Server – From 03:30 AM (PST) and to take about 25 minutes;

European Servers

  • EU 1 Server – From 06:30 AM (CET) and to take about 25 minutes;

There will also be some maintenance in the Russian servers and it will take nearly 2 hours. GhostPrime from the NA Forums advised that NA Server will receive Micropatch 9.13_6, not sure if this will apply to the European Servers.

So if you plan to play early tomorrow… then you’ll have to start a bit later and sleep a bit more. It’s good that they let us know about this on hidden posts in the Official Forum, instead of a small post in the news so we could all know straight away… Wargaming being Wargaming.
