Can I assume the release of this patch is getting really close, and I need to grind the IS-4 harder?

Do you think its within a few weeks of release then guys?

i think 2400 is too much for IS 4 .. tank that small to have same amount as Big Ass E100 ... unfair ! and not real at all  :Smile_great:

Where is says:
"Reduced the maximum speed of the (IS-4) KV-4 to 30 km/h"

Why is the IS-4 in brackets?  I presume that it is the KV-4 you are actually talking about?

2400 hp is fair for IS-4 tier 10 because the armour is the same as it was in tier 9

Fixed some errors in the IS-4 damaged model: the shield thickness was increased from 200mm to 250mm

What is the "shield"?

IS-4, KV-4 or both?

I think that "shield" its the driver's view port, because that viewport was 200mm before

So is it saying that I can either download the full 7.3 test server or just the torret file? Or do I have to do both?

"shield" in mistranslations usually refers to gun mantlet

Hmmm, it said that:

2.  Run the game. The test #2 file will download automatically through the launcher. Test #2 file size is 16.3 MB.

It did that for me, but then it started downloading another file through the launcher, which is 2145.94MB, is that supposed to happen?  :blink:

Why IS-8 gun pen was reduced? hope for a RoF increase instead.

Pen was reduced by 2. Statistically insignificant.


I'm personally wondering why the KV-4 got a speed nerf in the first place. Maybe 50 wasn't historical (though I'm not familiar with this particular tank's history), but going 50 and ramming was about the only thing the poor tank had going for it. The nice 107mm doesn't really do you much good if you're slow and your armor is bad - which it is.

I hope "shield" refers to the drivers view port since usually the whole front gets penetrated.

Hard to be historically accurate with a tank that was never actually built.   :lol:

No the gun shield is. It was accidently set to 200 last test
