- Sheridan doesn’t fit World of Tanks, because it could fire the Shillelagh missile and “without missiles, this tank would be illogical”

- new “split” Panzer IV’s and StuG (tier 3,4,5) will be available for all modes, not just historical battles

- effects of ammo rack “cook-off” (SS: burning through the hatches from inside) are planned

- problems with LT class now? “Don’t play light tanks”

- it’s not yet sure whether in historical battles, it will be sufficient to have historical modules unlocked, or you will have to buy them as well, both options were discussed

- dynamic characteristics of tanks in garage will not come soon

- for now there is no info on “super-Tortoise” with turret from Bovington archives (SS: in relation to the British turretted TD branch)



- apparently, the “new method” of evaluating tank performance was judged correctly and it’s possible some buffs and nerfs will come in the future, but not in 9.0

- Storm confirms that historical battles will come in the form of portal events, single battles will be available for limited time only. This system was accepted in order to increase the “population” (amount of players playing) of individual historical battles (SS: in order not to have queues). If there were 30 different historical battles active at the same time, the player pool would be too spread, which would mean queues and MM issues

- Storm states that i3 4330 processor + GTX760 should be enough for WoT HD and Havok, but no exact minimum requirements are known yet

- the removal of the display of XP required for a tank/module (once that module was unlocked) is a bug, it will be fixed in 9.0

- there will NOT be a +/-1 MM

- T18 will be nerfed “it’s done when it’s done”

- tanks tipping over on their roof will come in 9.1 or 9.2

- the issues with chat (not seeing friends online on other servers for example) will be fixed with Chat 2.0 introduction

- it’s possible arty will appear in historical battles (maybe)

- Centurion color will not change to olive drab, it will remain yellow as it is

- Storm confirms upcoming tier 8 German premium medium tank

- no exact ETA for Chat 2.0 (new chat system), developers are working on it so that it can handle million players simultaneously

- SerB confirms that turret weight (SS: or any module weight really) is just an arbitrary number (SS: what really maters is the total weight of the vehicle)

- WoT Xbox: Soviet tanks will appear later apparently, because the main market for Xbox Live is Europe and the USA

Regarding the “burning ammorack” effect Storm mentioned to be implemented, it’s something like this:
