From the Research and Development Department Sneak Peak at a new map in development "Redshire":
Changelog 0.6.3.11 -> 0.6.4.5 (not finalized)
Spoiler
v.0.6.3.10. - v.0.6.4
Vehicles/balance:
- Added new vehicles: premium heavy Lowe and KV-5, intermediate KV-13 and Pz38NA, tier 8 SPGs: Object 261, GW-E serie, T-92.
- Redesign hit-box for Maus on the basis of new "skirt" type of armor.
- Fixed hit boxes for IS-7, JagdPanther, Tiger, VK4502, Ferdinand, JagdTiger, M41.
- Fixed minor inaccuracies in hit boxes for several tanks.
- Fixed inaccuracies in visual models and textures for the majority of vehicles.
- Add new visual gun models for VK4502, Ferdinand, Tiger II.
- Rebalanced specifications for all SPGs.
- Readjusted camouflage values while moving and at rest.
- Readjusted camouflage values while firing for all guns.
- Readjusted shell velocity for all guns.
- Readjusted maximum firing range for the majority of guns.
- T-54: top engine substituted for 700 hp V-14, weight for top turret increased by 500kg.
- Fixed bug with the gun mantlet armor for Object 212
- Multiple balance adjustments for the majority of vehicles.
Battle mechanics:
- Added extra checkpoints on tank models for more accurate visibility checks.
- Readjusted visibility calculation for multiple bushes if they are within 15m range of the vehicle.
- Engine now catches fire, if it has received certain fixed amount of damage, which is the same for all vehicles. The purpose is to reduce the ability of low-tier automatic guns to cause engine fire.
- Changed fuel tanks fire mechanics. It catches fire when it is destroyed now.
- Changed mechanics of "Fill tanks with CO2" equipment, now it increases durability of fuel tank.
- Changed firefighting mechanic: fire strength decreases with each second. The exact value differs from vehicle to vehicle and is multiplied by average crew firefighting skill. As soon as fire strength reaches zero (and the vehicle is not destroyed), the fire is put out.
- Changed effect for credits and gold first aid kits, repair kits and fire extinguishers:
Credits repair kit fixes 1 chosen damaged module until the end of battle. Gold repair kit - all currently damaged modules until the end of battle.
You can put both repair kits on the same tank together.
First aid kit works the same way.
Credits fire extinguisher extinguishes fire immediately after you manually activate it – by pressing its button in-game.
Gold fire extinguisher automatically extinguishes fire 0.5 seconds after tank catches fire and will reduce chance of catching fire by 10%.
- "Extra combat rations", "Case of cola", "Chocolate" consumables are now automatically activated at the beginning of the battle.
- "Removed speed governor" equipment now damages the engine 50% faster.
- Changed damage mechanics for tracks. You can damage tracks if you hit the leading or the rearmost wheel of the tank. It will be much more difficult to detrack it by hitting middle part of the tank.

- Added first version of moving wrecks of destroyed vehicles.
- Fixed mismatching of hit-box objects that stick out from the rear hull (rear hull of GW-Tiger, etc).
- Fixed crash models for server open top SPGs being damaged by other tanks when contacted slightly.
- Fixed the condition for getting “Defender” medal. Now it meets the description requirements.
- Fixed the condition for getting “Reaper” achievement, which wasn’t granted when the tank was destroyed by splash damage or fire.
- Fixed the condition for getting Fadin's Medal which wasn’t granted when the tank was destroyed by splash damage or fire.
- Fixed the discrepancy between arcade and sniper reticule, when the tank is positioned on a slope.
Non-combat mechanics:

- Added the possibility to transfer in-game gold to another player. A special financial password is used for additional transaction control.
- Now when leveling the crew (on an elite tank with marked “Rapid crew training”) – bonus experience received for the crew is given to the least experienced crew member. The estimation is based on the general experience (not on the basis of skills percentage); if several crew members have equal values, the first one is chosen.

From the High Command Q: When is the current ballpark estimate of British tanks? By this I mean are we talking 2011, 2012, Christmas time, Summer time, etc? A: I think they may be added as a Christmas present, this timeline looks rather credible.
Q: Is it likely that the Panther will keep the Long 88? I would hate have to have another German medium confined to using the 88mm L/56 or 75mm L/70 (Like the VK3002DB). A: 75mm L/100 won't be added, however Panther might keep the long 88mm.
Q: Accelerate Crew Training: Some are saying this is not working at this time is this true or is it working like it suppose to. A: It's working. When acceleration is on:
6.3 - every tankman from the crew gets extra xp. extra_xp = xp_for_the_battle / crew_size.
6.4 - least skilled tankman gets double xp.
Q: Will you fix matchmaking to not stack heavy tanks in one team and mediums or TDs to another? Mostly only top 6 tanks determine upon win or loose so tanks down in the list are not important. A: Significant improvement will come along with adjusted match making values in 0.6.4.
Q: For clans, any ETA on the possibility to promote recruits to other positions ? (deputy...) A: At launch of CWs.
Q: As it is now, people aren't awarded for tracking an opponent to help others destroy him, do you think it's good as it is ? Couldn't it be changed ? A: De-tracking counts as critical damage and is paid in experience and credits.
From the Front Lines Tank Review by Diastant S-51
History: A random search might not turn up anything special but in depth at less common websites will yield you plenty. In the end of 1943, the GAU began looking for a heavy mobile artillery system. The solution was simple. Mount a 203/152mm gun on a KV-1S chassis. It expressed some interest, but the timeline was exceeded and so production never happened.
Firepower: The firepower of the S-51 isn't the best when you have a stock 152. It's worst than an SU-8 in terms of accuracy but you will get used to it as it prepares you for the playing style of the next gun. However, faster reload than the 203 as well as some accuracy give this a punch. Although the damage is average-excellent, accuracy seems to be the tricky thing so always try to get the aiming circle fully closed in on a tank to ensure a hit or at least some splash damage. The 203 will get much, much better. Once you get the 203 you now only have 12 shells, but the splash alone should be plenty enough to kill Tier 5 and under. Any direct hit can one-shot some heavy tanks.
Armor: Armor is great for an SPG, but 90% of the tank is open, and that makes it very vulnerable to the back. While A-20's and Leopard's may even bounce its frontal armor,they can still circle you so be aware of that. For SPG's, there's not much to say about armor except that you should always face front to any scout, and hope that they bounce. The fact that it has an open chassis makes it worse, as module damage and fires will occur so much more often so always keep your back protected.
Mobility: It will feel, quite literally, like a stock KV when you first buy it. It's horrible. So get the tracks, and then it's your choice of engine/gun. Radio should be last. The S-51 is known to be better than the SU-14 for one reason, and that's mobility. It has a 19 degree turn angle (upgraded), and a 600 HP engine once you upgrade the engine itself. This allows for a very versatile mobile heavy artillery piece. Use it to re-locate quickly, and to get out of situations faster. It might just save your life.
Fear Factor: S-51's are quite rare on the battlefield as most people don't bother to grind the 120,000 exp+ needed for this thing on a KV. But it's worth it. People are more scared than an S-51 than by a bus. The splash damage alone is enough to kill both an S-51 and a GW-Panther (confirmed) on the 203. Scouts will find themselves bouncing the frontal armor and the mobility, it' better than normal for such a high tier SPG. This is the fear-inducing S-51. Watch out.
Overall Value: Any S-51 is a major force because even if it has the 152 stock gun, it still is lethal, capable of one-shotting Tier 5 and under, even ammo racking often. Losing your S-51 is a valuable loss. Protect it, hide it, just don't ever lose it. It's your main source of firepower. It can turn the tide of the battle.

■A tank from World of tanks■The speech bubbles are a collection of terms I saw in the game, so there's no double meaning to them.
MemoryReborn's Note said:
This was found on Pixiv (A Japanese websites where artists can upload their work for display) by player Mini_Bolo in mid-April, and surprisingly enough the original picture was uploaded in late February, establishing the World of Tanks tag on the site. Since then a few other fan images have been uploaded, including various images of the artists' favorite vehicles done in various styles, and even including a pixel art version of an M4A3E8 (think Advance Wars style) . So slowly but surely, our little World of Tanks is expanding in popularity across the globe.

Loved the back story on the S-51. I know alot about the actual production models in game, but know very little about the protopypes and development projects.
Cool that you mentioned the Historical Battles as well. I'm hoping to try one out in the future.
New map looks interesting, considering the fact that there is only one bridge
Wouldn't that be worse than Komarin? I am hoping parts of the river are shallow and allow crossing, otherwise it will be setup and camp. South side looks like it may be at an advantage at that.

Yes, but remember that in 6.4, we're going to be able to move wreaks so the bridge won't be able to be blocked for long

Yep, they need to make maps with less choke-points and more areas to maneuver and flank. I don't like the design on that map at all unless you can ford the river.
Being able to push wrecks won't help because: pushing a wreck while under fire = more wrecks.
