[WoT] More on the Upcoming 8.2

Below I have listed some of the minor features of 8.2 update for WoT. Some major ones are already known.

Tech tree (UI):

• the space between tiers will be reduced. The whole tree will be displayed in FullHD mode.
• hyperlink "back to tech tree" will be changed to a button with nation logo (flag)
• hint on the remaining experience/credits will be added
• experience and free experience counters will be added to tank screen (each tank in tech tree)

Optimization:

• the performance of speedtree render will be improved which should decrease FPS drop in sniper mode, and improve overall performance for maps with lots of trees
• the performance of South Coast and Highway maps will be improved due to reconfiguration of water. For other maps the improvement is going to be less noticeable.

Aiming:

• fixed bug with reticle "shaking" aside while aiming. The issue was related to precision loss due to server load management, when one process "transfers" vehicle to another process
• substantially decreased vehicle vibration on roughness of terrain - via software tuning and fixing hitboxes of the objects. Riding over railroad is more fun now.

Gameplay:

• fallen trees will now impact visibility system. Hurray!

Penetration / Non-penetration:

• fixed bug with shell disappearing after penetrating spaced armour and then ricocheting (eg sloped spaced side armour of IS-tanks)
• fixed bug with shell shell disappearing after penetrating spaced armour, and gun making "saving throw" after being hit.

HUD:

• module icons in left bottom corner will get repair speed indicator (same mechanics as reloading)

There going to be many more minor improvements, but that's it for now.

Apart from the whole bunch of new features and highly anticipated Chinese tree, 8.2 will bring new 5 US vehicles. See more info here.
