[WoT] Current Status of 8.0

Release of 8.0 initially scheduled for RU region for this week was postponed, which naturally affects  release dates for other regions as well. Some of the major issues to be fixed:

• FPS drops in bushes and sniper mode. Unfortunately the fix to this problem didn't make it to test 3 due to technical reasons. Thus one more iteration is required
• Crashes to desktop when painting or changing logos/texts
• Disappearing dispersion circle for SPGs

What have already been fixed by now:

• Disappearing engine sounds, and all sounds in general when switching between tanks and aiming modes
• Final post-battle stat window expanded to 15 lines to display full teams without any scrolling
• Malfunctioning vehicle controls when exiting to hangar after battle with chat window being active

Possibly there will also be other fixes related to firing sounds, but that's not for sure and can go to release version as of test 3.

Most likely there will be no other changes to the current build.

0.8 is coming slowly but surely. :)

PS. Latest poll results (votes / %):
Did you vote for World of Tanks at Golden Joystick Awards 2012?
Sure thing I did!  - 1158 (60%) - well done, guys!
Not yet (going to) - 277 (14%) - just don't forget to do it :)  
For god sake, no  - 477 (24%) - ...
 
The new poll is up.

[WoT] Public Test of 8.0 is On

Public test of 8.0 started with several known and (unfortunately) noticeable issues that are not critical, but important. Here are they:

• new post-battle statistics is not displayed after the battle (most likely will be fixed today)
• penetration holes are hilariously marked with clan logos (for clan members)
• base capture doesn't work on Cliff and Wide Park maps

Unfortunately, fixes to the aforementioned problems haven't made it to the release version of initial build. Please don't report them, so as not to spam (cause they are so obvious). :)

Apart from that there is a number of smaller and less noticeable issues, feel free to report them as well as post your general feedback on the major update.

[WoT] Public Test of 7.3

After the release of 7.2 update all 3 main WoT servers have set new CCU records proving to a high extent movement in the right direction (the capacity of server hardware for EU recently has been almost tripled and ready for more players). However there is still a lot on the to-do list.

With the upcoming 7.3 we strive to stick "one content update per month" schedule which this time is pretty close to be kept. The public test of 7.3 has been up and running for quite enough to share the feedback. The list of changes can be found eg here. 7.3 is primarily a content update which also brings lots of bugfixing and improvements to the earlier 7.2. It's 7.4 that is supposed to bring far more significant changes and a bunch of new features, the two new game modes are undergoing final polishing.The expansion of French tech tree, SPGs and TDs, is also coming.

Let's see what we have got here.

• 2 new maps. Note, that there are no city maps among them, the next city-based map is likely to come next update.
• Huge Soviet revision announced long time ago finally completed. The newcomer heavies are T-150, KV-4, ST-1, and also we have KV divided into two, and IS-4 moved one tier up.
• 2 new French prems tanks after testing on live server by supertesters are now available for everyone.
• The next bunch of prems that are going to be tested right according to the same procedure are IS-6 and "golden" JT with 8.8cm.
• MM spread for tier 5 heavies is reduced by 1. That should be considered as the initial step the impact of which is to be assessed further on to identify whether similar changes are to be extended and if yes to where exactly.
• Apart from that there have been extensive bug fixing, including massive bug with "blach terrain" for old Radeon graphic cards. The descriptions of crew skills have also been extended. 
• Clan logos are finally displayed in the client.

Commenting this post leave your feedback, ideas, and suggestions regarding the 7.3 public test. And a small reminder: 7.3 is still in testing and currently it's not the quality and experience of the release version.
