Special edition of QA from Storm and Evilly:

- Storm states that first 4 vehicles existed and fought, some of them a lot

- autoloaders won’t be animated for now, but this will be implemented eventually (SS: Storm mentions HD version, that probably means the great graphical model rework in 2014)

- tier 9 and 10 TD will have a 6 man crew, tier 8 4man, tier 7 5man, tier 6 5man too, tier 5 6man too, tier 4 4man crew

- for now, the tier 8,9 and 10 vehicles do have 360 degree turrets, but this might yet be limited during the tests

- Q: “Why such a weird transfer from Panzer IV chassis to E-100?” A: “I don’t know, I didn’t make the branch.”

- the tank characteristics in game are not finished yet

And some other info from Storm and SerB:

- for now, nothing new on the autoloading KV tank

- no decision has been made yet on the fate of Jagdtiger 88 rebalance

- WT E-100 will not have the 150mm L/68 gun

- no more info on historical battles yet

- during the graphic re-work, old graphics will still work

- rate of fire is a balance parameter (SS: not necesserily has to be historical)

- the Ersatz Panther top speed (46km/h) is historical: regular ingame Panther is based on Ausf.D, M10 Panther was based on Ausf.G, which had a rev limiter installed, reducing its speed to 46km/h (but improving engine durability)

- the German 2nd TD tier 9 gun shield works as a regular armor, not as spaced armor: if you hit it, it will reduce the tank HP
