(a lot of bullshit trolling SerB today, not in mood - skipped it)

- Q: "Dear devs, you wrote that the IS-7 is an example of an overnerfed tank. If you were to remove it, what tank would it be replaced with?" A: "We'd likely remove it totally" (SS: without replacement). SerB also stated that if IS-7 had its real life parameters, he'd be on tier 12-13, the most nerfed parameters are currently speed (IRL 60 km/h), ROF. There was a real parameter IS-7 during the alphatest - it was terribly overpowered
- out of T-44, T-54 and T-62A, SerB considers the T-44 most popular
- on T9 there is Lorraine and not AMX-13/105, "because we simply think Lorraine is better"
- further tank customisation - in far future (it's possible that in far future, hull and track models will also be changed)
- the coefficient of how much silver do you get when winning and losing is the same for all tanks, but SerB states the system is much more complex
- E-100 8.4 change? "upper frontal plate angle configuration"
- the same (gold) round has different parameters for different guns (D-25, BL-9), because it's historical
- SerB likes the work of V.Vysotsky (SS: a known Russian songmaker)

Japanese answers:

Q: When the first post-war Japanese tank was being developed, the plan for the tank was 20 tons with a 76 mm gun, which was changed to a 25 ton tank with a 90 mm gun due to the T-34 during the Korean War. However, the mockup team for the 25 ton proposal realized that the armor would be too thin to deal with bazookas and anti-tank missiles, which was why uparmoring lead to the 35 ton Type 61. Based on this history (as can be read in the Japanese wikipedia article on the Type 61), couldn't a Tier 6 and Tier 7 light tank be possible? (SS: please note that the question didn't sound like this, this is more like an explanation)

A: These tanks (20t 76mm/25t 90mm STA) were only "sets of requirements", they weren't developed industry-wise. Technically, they could be introduced into the game, but there are relatively big differences between light tanks that saw combat and these "requirement" tanks. So they (STA tanks) will most likely remain as medium tanks.

About the perspective 57mm gun, SerB states it's most likely an adaptation of naval 57mm, it might appear on "Ho-I" and the first "Chi-To" prototype, but SerB's not sure.

- the haystack at Prokhorovka do not work as bushes (no camo bonus)
- there might be additional music added to WoT

  1. So they would rather take the IS7 out of the game then buffing it? Wait, do they realy thinking about doing it or is it just a "mind play"?

    no one blames you

    then friggin buff it a little, give it that 60km/h max speed (no engine boost tho) and a better ROF and boom it will probably be balanced. or just get rid of that stupid low tier 10 health that it got because it used to be like the best t10 lol.

  4. Sure, IS-7 is UP but German top tiers are just fine....i thougth mate that you skipped his dumb trolling.

  5. I suspect that if the IS-7 was ever put into official service it wouldn't have lived up to its testing standard. If nothing else the engine would likely have been limited to save on wear and tear thus no 60 kmph.
    The way the devs talk about it you would think it was some sort of indestructible super tank that would be able to compete with modern armour.

  6. also it was a huge and a very long tank., and it had a 1050 hp engine historically, but yet in the game

  7. Is7 engine gets fire in tests...and they had to use another engine from a is3 IIRC...so...60kmh, really? With no engine maybe downhill or parachute....
