- various “which tank is the most popular” polls have no influence on tank balancing

- Q: “Will the rework of tanks to HD models be made based on historical battles or popularity amongst players” A: “One does not interfere with the other”

- apparently, more things (such as destroyed tank models) are not scheduled to be pre-loaded into memory during map loading, because it would pointlessly clog the computer’s memory, while the “microfreezes” (when a tank gets destroyed, the game lags a bit loading the destroyed model) are bearable

- ingame accuracy of a gun does not influence the chance of the shell to fly towards the aim circle center

- accuracy ONLY influences the size of the aim circle, that means that for example a gun with 0.36 acc and another at 0.46 acc, if the aim circle of both guns is of the same size (SS: when for example the first gun moves with the turret), the chances to hit for both guns are the same

- 25 percent penetration RNG will NOT be replaced by lower number, because a) it reflects real life randomness better than say 5 percent and b) in such a case, well-armored tanks would be too difficult to deal with

- Storm mentioned that some least popular maps could be removed altogether from the game, Windstorm will not be amongst them

- league system for random battles will not be introduced

- gold ammo for credits will not be removed

- developers are slowly starting to deal with tier 2-5 balance (SS: goodbye, sweet T18)

- retraining crews to different roles (SS: as in, radiomen to drivers for example) will come, “it’s done when it’s done”

- apparently, Storm thinks that after the introduction of the new modes, noone will play companies anymore

- 2014 will bring 3 new tier 8 medium premiums (SS: we’ll see :) )

- An option to re-buy once bought premium tanks for credits? Storm: “We’ll have to think about that”

- the plans for new game modes, unveiled in today’s video, apply for this year

- it’s not planned to implement the option to select, which HD content you want and which you don’t

- the feature to get your unique/reward/premium tanks back is tested on US server, it will be available on RU, EU and ASIA as well

Storm: “Arty will have to be nerfed again soon.” Link
