Storm talks about 9.1
Source: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/293768.html
Hello everyone,
Storm is asking for your feedback on the 9.1 test, specifically:
- game performance and possible loss of FPS
- new map
- new gun sounds
- new turret and shell sounds, new sounds of Hellcat and Jackson
- and of course bugs
- new map
- new gun sounds
- new turret and shell sounds, new sounds of Hellcat and Jackson
- and of course bugs
Here Storm states that the bug where the screen turns black in battle is known, it will be fixed.
Regarding the gun sounds, Storm writes that many are complaining about them and say that they are bad. Storm emphasizes that the gun sounds are in the test to gather playerbase feedback. The sounds are recorded in real life (some “sound photoshop” was used only for the shells of the largest calibers). The volume of the sounds as it is is on their limit – any louder and they will begin to distort. Storm states that according to player feedback, many don’t like it the way it is in the test and it’s possible it would be more correct to make unrealistic “Hollywood” sounds instead (SS: personally, I actually like the new sounds).
Regarding the optimization, in this round, about ten small fixes and optimizations were implemented, that should affect the performance positively on most computers. This wasn’t in the early patchnotes, as it was unknown how these “fixes” would work for the majority of players. According to first feedback, the majority of players reports very positive influences, which according to Storm means Wargaming is moving in the right direction.
Storm also adds that they found a way, how to without too much digging fix the lags when you switch from arcade to sniper mode. They are working on the fix right now.
From the discussion:
- it’s not yet sure whether the aforementioned arcade/sniper mode lag fix will be there in 9.1 release
- developers are working on more optimization
- crew “not forgetting previous tank training” (SS: as in, would stay trained for tank A even when retrained for tank B) option will not be implemented, it’s not economically profitable for WG
- same goes for buying previously purchased tanks for half (selling) price
- regarding the missing sound echo (you were used to from old sounds): devs added “echo zones” so for example in closed areas the sound will echo
- Storm states that in the “historical realism gun sounds mod”, the quality of samples was not very good and the sounds were collected from all over the place, Wargaming will not cooperate with Gnomefather, Storm personally doesn’t like the sound mod very much apparently (“When it comes to me personally, this mod stresses me sometimes by its ‘forced sound’” SS: as in, too much intensive sounds – Storm adds that atmosphere is good but he can’t play with it for long)
- regarding historical sounds, Storm adds that War Thunder also has historical sounds of guns, yet everyone likes it there
- it’s not an option to have two sound sets (historical one and “Hollywood” one), the work would immediately double by that
- the sound of turret turning is there for all tanks, in sniper mode
- a player was complaining that he can’t now recognize a difference between a sound 300 meters away and 600 meters away, Storm counters that he personally can easily
- Storm states he can’t say exactly which tanks were the gun sounds recorded from, it was some sort of BMP and T-72 and some others
- apparently, Ruinberg on Fire will get some brighter lighting, Kharkov is brighter than Ruinberg on Fire
- stock tanks will not get reduced MM spread (“the team would be very happy to see a stock tank as their top vehicle”)
- the turret turning sound doesn’t activate when you move a turret (in sniper mode) just a little – this is intentional, so that the turret sound doesn’t irritate you, when you are trying to aim precisely. Furthermore, it’s historical – fine turret movement was performed by manual hand cranking and that almost cannot be heard in a tank
- Kharkov does have sound echo in fact
- developers are working on more optimization

Stronghold Mode Preview
Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/3291114.html
What is the Stronghold mode?
New mode for clan players, available within the game and not tied to the Clanwars. A clan has a virtual base with buildings, road leading to it and additional constructs. Can be created by the commander of the clan free of charge, whenever he wishes, but the clan has to have at least 20 players.
The clan can develop its “stronghold”, construct buildings on it in order to access various economical bonuses, that can be activated for limited time. For example, increase of creditmaking of vehicles in the game, or increase the crew training speed – everything depends on stronghold development strategy. In the future, new features will be added to this mode, such as upon reaching a certain level of the stronghold, players will be able to attack enemy strongholds and defend theirs. During such battles, there will be unique features such as air support (bomber raid), artillery fire mission, minefields and others.

Soviet Light Tank Tier 8 “LTTB”
It’s pointless to discuss any historical statistics, as it is 99,9 percent sure the vehicle will be unhistorically buffed to be able to handle the LT tier 8 role.
16.05.14.
- Christie tanks will come, but not anytime soon
- Storm is not worried about the losses of online player numbers (SS: some tried to put a connection between that and War Thunder open beta, that was released yesterday IMHO) – he states that in summer, player statistics by drop a lot
- Storm states that nothing was changed with FPS in the micropatch, observed FPS losses are placebo
- developers are actively working on serious optimization steps
- Q: “To regulate TD’s you need to remove the sixth sense, it wasn’t there before!” A: “Sixth sense is already very old.”

Storm states that the amount of gold ammo fired per battle is usually 10-15 percent, 20-30 percent are separate cases, which are rare, on low tiers there is a lower amount of gold shells fired
- T-54, FV215b (183), T69 – they don’t belong to the tanks, that use massive amounts of gold ammo (80 percent)
- it’s possible FV304 will be nerfed
- Churchill and IS HD models are not ready yet apparently
- Storm states that he will investigate artillery accuracy, there are no guarantees it won’t be touched (SS: earlier it was confirmed that the developers want to nerf tank accuracy a bit)

Hotfix 9.0.1 is Coming
Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/352479-901-update-coming/
Brace yourselves, 9.0.1 hotfix is coming. Preliminary ETA is this Friday.
I want to update the community on the status up the next patch for World of Tanks. As you all know 9.0 is an update sets the stage for all the updates for the rest of the year. There were major functional changes that had to occur in this update to make that possible. This unfortunately led to some of the instability in form of game crashes and issues with framerate.We have already identified some of the issues and currently have a patch in QA testing. It will address many of the game crashes and some of the framerate issues. We want to get this patch out as soon as possible without introducing new problems.The current ESTIMATED timeframe for this patch is this Friday. It is subject to change depending on what is found by QA, but I wanted to make sure you are as informed as possible. If this estimate changes I will make another update. I will also update you if a second patch is required. We apologize for the disruption this update may have caused you, however we look forward to the advances that this patch will allow.Thank you all for your patience,Joshua Morris

9.0 Compressed Textures
Step 1:
Select the compression that You think is best for your PC and download:
25% Download Link
12.5% Download Link
6% Download Link
Then you select the download link, you will receive a .exe file:
Open that file and it will start the download to your PC:
Select the button highlighted in red - CLOSE.
Step 2:
Go to your download location:
There will be 2 folder there, one compressed (zipped) and the other one a regular folder. We need what is in the regular folder:
Inside there is .rar file called mirtankov.su-XX.9.0:
Unpack it using unRAR or some other software. You will get a whole bunch of folders and files:
Step 3:
All those folder and files need to be copied to "game location\World Of Tanks\res\packages\"
When copied, find a file called "autoinstall_[0.9.0].bat" and double click on it:
This will start a command prompt windows and compress your textures.
This is the first version that I found (with some help) so some instability is possible as always.

Step 2:
Go to your download location:
There will be 2 folder there, one compressed (zipped) and the other one a regular folder. We need what is in the regular folder:
Inside there is .rar file called mirtankov.su-XX.9.0:
Unpack it using unRAR or some other software. You will get a whole bunch of folders and files:
Step 3:
All those folder and files need to be copied to "game location\World Of Tanks\res\packages\"
When copied, find a file called "autoinstall_[0.9.0].bat" and double click on it:

Good Luck and Happy Hunting...
