Hello,
have a new Q&A for you which Edrard compiled and Ivan translated:
Storm
– Storm on balancing: “We will be making adjustments to balancing but, as usual, everyone has his own idea of what balancing should be like and the balancing will be met with mixed reactions”
– No news for now on 112 (tier 8 Chinese tank) buff, the developers are working now on general issues
– There will be serious adjustments to matchmaking but for now no details
– All the drawbacks of the IS-6 are covered by recent buffs
– Soviet LT2 T-60 armor was nerfed on some places, buffed on others. The nerf concerns lower righ part of the upper frontal plate and right frontal part of the turret
– US T34 premium had the edges of the turret roof improved a bit, now it is like it was before the tank was reworked to HD
– It’s not technically possible to allow players to select “new” or “old” sounds since the sound engine is completely different
– WG employs several people who actually served on tanks, they know what the gunfire sounds like
– It’s possible to select voiceover localization even in launcher
– Exhaust smoke that reduces player FPS can be turned off by reducing effect quality
– In order for the premium hangar not to stress the GPU too much, the developers recommend enabling vsync
– The clock won’t be added to the garage
– The devs are considering adding damage log to the game
– The devs haven’t discussed adding hitpoints to vehicles on minimap after pressing Alt
– Silver/xp income was not changed in the Domination mode
– The fact that the sounds of module critting and Sixth Sense lighting up cannot be disabled is not a bug
– 9.15 will not bring the HD model of the French Tier 10 arty
Gathered some more information:
-After players requests, WG said that is not planning to change/rebalance the E-100.
-About “Top of the Tree”: WG is looking into ways to improve the technical aspect of the voting. Also: “As for a streamer encouraging his community to vote for a certain tank, this is something out of our control. There is nothing stopping you guys from organizing a voting campaign here on the forums or elsewhere to try and get another tank selected, everyone gets a vote.”
-RU Players been crying that they miss Storm. Storm answered that he is very busy this year.
– No news for now on 121 (tier 8 Chinese tank) buff, the developers are working now on general issues
The 121 is a chinese tier 10 😉
Maybe it wouldn’t be so useless at tier 8.
Hope they are referring to the T-34-2… that thing is terrible 🙁
They are referring to the121
Which should be out right replaced by the 121b

Rita the 121 is a chinese tier 10 😉
“All the drawbacks of the IS-6 are covered by recent buffs”
Last time they were saying that the armor is no longer a balancing matter. Did it finally occur to them how retarded that was?
Oh, wait, the IS-6 buff is retarded as well, so there’s no hope for them.
Killed an IS-6 just in my stock Tiger II with credit ammo about 50% pen rate but that drivers hatch now no way :p
Regarding clock, is it being stubborn, stupid or just mean?
Why would someone want the old sounds back ??. They were aweful
People like to complain.
121 is chinese tier 10 medium…
Thanks! Discalculia acting up.
Don’t waste apologies, Storm was talking about 112 ))
Well,the devs finally will add the damage panel in the game as default.. I will stop using xvm.
So.. now the is-6 has no drawbacks.. seems legit.
Penetration says hello, but i get your point it is stupidly good now even if i don’t get on with mine.
Is there any word on what is going to happen to the T110E5? It really needs some sort of nerf.
Last thing I heard is that it the buff was unintentional when the vehicle got passed to HD and a nerf was most likely to happen. I can ask Slava about it next week and see if I can tell you something.
in update 9.15, buff t-343, 112, lowe & buff penet kv-5….plz WG… T_T
T34-3 is already pretty good.a pen buff to make it more like the high tier counterparts would be nice.
If it got the 122mm gun on IS-5, IS-3A, Kirovet-1, and got no more pref MM i wouldn’t mind about that, it will worth the price of the tank more 😛
What downsides of the IS-6 were there that needed correcting? It was very strong before the HD model, now it is stronger. It’s only real downside is 175 AP penetration, but that is why it gets limited matchmaking, so even that isn’t really a downside.
– There will be serious adjustments to matchmaking but for now no details
2spooky4me!
Storm was talking about 112, not 121. 112 _IS_ the Tier 8 premium )
Please revert your alteration and just put 112 instead of 121 )
guess the RU guys are missing the chance to whine to Storm. maybe they should aim for SerB
Loooolz…..is drawback….hahahahah what drawbacks hahaha. What an OP unbalanced piece of….
121 is utter garbage. Give better gun depression to the sides. Better gun handling and either make the cupolas smaller or make them thicker.
Also while you are it nerf the fuck out of the Russian high tiers…but noooo…balance fails when stronk stalinium tank is involved.
Bravo a Q&A about WoT after 11 days… SS posted it olmoast every day…
But that’s because back in the day Storm was speaking everyday, now he is not. How many times I need to repeat this? Times have changed, get accustomed to it.
OMG now it is 122 )))))
Rita, psych up! )) 112’s the name )
omg… Sorry have a lot in my mind this few days. Im really sorry. Major derp I know. lol
