6.1.2013

- any rumors about the 0.9.0 patch are completely made up (SS: it's not even decied what there will be in 8.6)
- when the first heavy tier 10 was introduced into the game, some hardcore clans actually unlocked it within days
- there is an interesting phenomenon on Russian servers that in the early morning hours, tier 5 scout tanks often appear as the top tanks of the battle, apparently because there very few hightier vehicles present in the game at that time
- the hardcap is confirmed to be temporary (SS: also, Storm and SerB started bashing the artywhiners really bad, bans flying all over the place)
- Q: Will the T18 end up as Marder did, with a nerf? A: (by Storm): "A bloody fiery eye of the nerfthirsty Wargaming immediately fixes on the tiny T18" and "Well, let's see what we have here..." :)
- the ability to change the hull of the tank is still just an idea - if the devs do it, the hulls will be visually different
- the ability to see the ping of each member in the battle is not planned (SS: apparently so people dont whine and bash those with bad connection)
- regarding bans for being AFK: "If it happens often to a player, it might be viewed as botting and we take that very seriously"
- the repair costs and profitability of tier 8 arty have been unified with other tier 10 vehicles, not tier 8, as tier 8 arty is considered a tier 10 vehicle and will be pushed to tier formally (SS: in summer)
- there is a better inferface planned for the transfer of crew and equipment from tank to tank
- M50 Ontos not planned - Walker Bulldog is planned, there was a very slight mention of the ASU-57 and the SU-100P (player asked whether they didnt implement them because there was no place for them in the current branches and Storm confirmed)
