    Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by EU player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record"


    - Yurko2F states that statistics are collected for all tanks, even the gift tanks and their decision and these tanks are changed “when necesseryâ€
    - Foch 155 weakpoints on its roof were not removed
    - those premium vehicles that have their profitability higher than Jagdtiger 88 will not be income-nerfed
    - Q: “What is the M6A2E1 (“alienâ€) supposed to do with tier 10 tanks?†A: “Shoot them†(Storm later states it will not get better MM)
    - regarding the changes in US tank suspension details (as announced in patchnotes 8.11):

    There are basically two models of US suspension – one is like this (T57):
    [​IMG]
    and one is like this (T110E5):
    [​IMG]
    As you can see, one has a “holeâ€, the other one doesn’t. They will all be unified, unfortunately I don’t know which version will apply for all (Storm hints that all the holes will in fact be removed, this change will come to other nations too apparently)

    - confirmed: T23 will be able to go back with the same speed as it can go forward with (SS: yes, this is historical, it was a type of transmission that allowed this), its maximum speed will be 56 km/h
    - the mode selection settings will not be implemented straight into the hangar
    - new US medium line will not come anytime soon
    - Storm confirms that the arty MM weight reduction was not an intended buff, but a measure in order to stop MM from balancing artillery with heavies on top of the team
    - Object 268 will also get a reversing speed nerf
    - the bug where a part of the Soviet camo patters (summer) looks “bleak†will be fixed
    - Storm “will seeâ€, whether separate National battles statistic will have influence on balancing the vehicles
    - multicore support will not come in 9.0 – it will come later, it’s being developed
    - maps specifically for team battles were never planned and they are not planned now
    - dynamic characteristics in hangar haven’t been developed yet, but they are planned
    - more tank customization is also planned
    - Storm confirms: Foch lower front plate will be nerfed from 120mm to 100mm
    - IS-6 profitability does not lag behind the one of Jagdtiger 88, it’s fine (won’t be buffed)
    - fires on “Ruinberg on Fire†will cause masive FPS drops? “Various ways on various computersâ€

    Soukou Sagyou Ki – the Japanese clawed monster

    from FTR

    Its best known picture is this:
    [​IMG]

    Let’s have a look at it a bit closer.

    While preparing for war with the Soviets in the 30′s, the Imperial Japanese Army formulated a demand for the development of a specialized vehicle, capable of destroying Soviet fortified positions along the Manchurian border. And as usual with the Japanese, they decided to actually adopt an unventional solution and to add several useful functions to it. It was decided that this new vehicle should be capable of

    - digging trenches
    - mineclearing
    - cutting through barbed wire
    - mass vaccination
    - spreading poisonous gas
    - being used as a crane vehicle (ARV)
    - being used as a flamethrower tank
    - beign capable of laying down temporary bridges

    That’s a lot of functions for one vehicle and in the end, the tank turned out to be probably the most versatile engineering vehicle in the world.


    Many sources state that the vehicle was actually built on the chassis of the Type 89 Yi-Go medium tank, but this is not exactly true. While the design itself did resemble Type 89 and used many of its parts, other parts from other mass-produced vehicles were also used. For example the suspension was somewhat different, although it used two blocks of 4 small roadwheels, it also used only two return rollers and didn’t have that one independent forward bogie. It used semi-eliptical leaf springs. The drive sprocket was located in the rear, while the steering sprocket was in the front.

    The first SS vehicles recieved a hull, derived from the (more modern) Type 94, with characteristic tall frontal part and space above the tracks. There were however some changes. The driver’s hatch and the (Type 97 7,7mm) bow machinegun stayed where they were, but the single-wing hatch was replaced by a double-wing one and flamethrowers were installed. The turret was removed as well and instead of it, the commander recieved a small-ish copula with observation devices. Two mineclearing “claws†were installed in the front and there was a winch, powered directly by the engine, installed in the back (capable of pulling even very heavy objects).

    Since the vehicle was not supposed to be used as a front line combat tank, it was decided to somewhat reduce the armor thickness. The roof and bottom were 6mm thick, the sides were 13mm thick and the front was 25mm thick. As for the engine, Mitsubishi 145hp (at 1800 RPM) straight 6 (I6) diesel was used, allowing it to go as fast as 37 km/h. The transmission was mechanical. The weight of the vehicle was 13 tons (Russians state 16 tons) and it had a crew of 5.

    The first prototype was built and tested in 1931 and it proved to be quite unwieldly. The only role that the vehicle was actually performing really well was the engineering role. Even so, the armament, consisting of 2-3 flamethrowers and one machinegun was quite fearsome (there were apparently variants with two 7,7mm Type 97 machineguns). IJA, after some deliberation, decided to sign a contract for several of these vehicles under the SS Ki designation.

    First four SS Ki vehicles were assigned to the 1st Mixed Tank Brigade and they were sent to China. In the Battle of Beijing on 28.7.1937 under Major-General Sakai, these vehicles were used as flamethrower tanks, but they took no part in the following battles and were used only as engineering vehicles. Later, they were sent to the Soviet-Manchurian border as a part of an engineer regiment. In general, the SS tanks were considered to be a successful design and the army became more interested in obtaining more of these vehicles, that would during the war sporadically appear on the Japanese-occupied islands. Within several years (until 1943, included), 119 SS vehicles were built (other sources state 98) in six main variants:

    - SS Ki: the main variant
    - SS Kou Gata: armored engineering vehicle with modified suspension with four return rollers for each track
    - SS Otsu Gata: armored bridgelayer vehicle with modified suspension (new drive sprockets, three return rollers)
    - SS Hei Gata: armored trench digger with Otsu Gata suspension and additional armored plates
    - SS Tei Gata: armored engineering vehicle with Otsu Gata suspension
    - SS Bo Gata: armored bridgelayer with based on SS Ki (last variant)
    [​IMG]

    In December 1941, several dozen of these vehicles were transferred to Philippines (Japanese sources state 20), where they were used as a part of the 2nd Tank Regiment (mostly as bridgelayers) until the end of the war. Unfortunately, there is no more info available on their deployment there. Last mention about them is from Summer 1945, when 8 of them were captured by the Americans during the liberation of Philippines. The American forces classified it (mistakenly) primarily as a flamethrower tank.

    What does that even have anything to do with this thread? :p

    Satsukiyami is not a thing, it's a person that's often referred as the ''Chat Monster'' :p
