Hello everyone, please note that the 122mm HE Soviet shell alpha buff is
unintentional and will likely be cancelled.
9.4三测苏联122mm HE 砲弹伤害调高是个意外，正式版不会更动
- according to Storm, the statement that limited MM is one of the premium
vehicle characteristics is incorrect, as large part of the premium vehicles
have normal MM
据 Storm 表示，金车该有分房保护的说法是错误的，许多金车属于正常分房
- Storm states that nerfing limited MM to regular MM happened only once for a
premium tank – with Type 59. The tendency for premium tanks is more like the
opposite, as it was recently with the AT-15A and M6A2E1
Storm 表示把金车砍回正常分房只发生过一次：在五九式身上。更改通常是降低分房，
例如 AT-15A 和 M6A2E1
（译者：五九式只会上九阶，不知道Storm在说什么…）

finish shooting their first clip before they are destroyed

most likely come with the complete perk overhaul
重制第六感要等到明年，很可能随着技能全面重制推出
- Storm states that the importance of perks will most likely not be improved,
because it would make old players with many perk crews overpowered
Storm 表示技能的重要性并不会被提升，避免老玩家的多技能组员过强
- Storm states that the HD model experiments were conducted on IS-4
Storm 表示 HD 模组的实验是由 IS-4 开始的
- the Havok got delayed, because developers “were ashamed” to introduce
only small object destruction in first round and went to work on building
destruction instead and now they are “stuck on the issue of performance”
Havok 被延期了；因为开发人员不屑在一开始只支援小物件，但又卡在效能问题上
- Storm states that if artillery gets “normal accuracy” (SS: as in,
pre-nerf one), it would have to be compensated by alpha reduction, aimtime
and shell flight velocity, which is something the developers really don’t
want to do
Storm 表示若 SPG 要回复当年的准度，必须砍伤害、砍瞄准时间、再砍砲弹速度，
开发人员真的不想这样搞
- developers considered the variant, where HE shells would be split into
normal HE shells and artillery HE shells (with reduced damage), but they
considered that unrealistic
考虑过让SPG用特殊的高爆弹（低伤）但被认为不合实际

have an option to disable it, as you can simply press escape to skip it

- Storm states that 9.5 will definitely come before New Year
Storm 表示 9.5 一定会在新年前推出
- according to Storm, there is no delay in work on HD models, only a delay in
their release, as there are really many vehicles in remodelling process at
the same time
据 Storm 表示，HD 建模并没有延误，只是同时同时处理很多台而已
- turning LT’s into “paper MT’s” by reducing their MM to normal was not
discussed by the developers
（烂建议，略）

- “very large” maps will not be implemented for now, but there will be
tests with larger maps, such as 1,2×1,2km or 1,4×1,4km. These might also
come to random battles, tests will show. These larger maps might simply be
extended original maps, the way it was made with Murovanka.
“超大”地图目前不会出现，但会测试大型地图（例如边长 1.2km 或 1.4km）。依据
测试结果，可能会放入随机战斗中。且很可能只是旧地图的扩张版。
- Storm admits that many didn’t like the Murovanka rework, because a lot of
people liked camping in the forest and firing at everything that got spotted

hangar (the ticker that “unticks” every time) will become permanent (won’t
untick with every client restart)

release

commonly) between the old British branches and the 9.5 one

- modelling of the HD FV4202 hasn’t started yet, same goes for Chieftain –
developers are waiting for photos and other data from Bovington (SS: I heard
it was delayed, do not expect it in 9.6)

优化，而官方BOT需要在伺服端运作且不能超载

planning such a mode for historical battles as well
