06.07.2015 Q&A

Here it is:

- The HD M10 Panther doesn't have the star on the side of the turret it had in real life because that spot is reserved for player customization decals;

高清伪装豹的炮塔侧面不像现实中的伪装豹那样有星星，因为那个位置用于玩家自定义标语徽章了

- SP.I.C. was actually brought to the developers by a player (from German community) directly along with all the data needed to implement it;

SPIC实际上是德国社区的一名玩家带给开发者的，顺便还带上的这车的全部数据以加入它

- The story basically is that there was no conspiracy against SPIC (when choosing the AFK Panther for tier 7 LT), the developers didn't simply know about it. In the connection to that, there is most of the times no point in proposing any vehicle changes or anything like that on the forums (especially not the non-RU one but in the end it doesn't matter) - developers won't ever see that unless they get a private message from someone about it. In the SPIC case, it went so that the data were transferred directly and privately from the player to the developers without anyone posting anything anywhere. This however is a rare case and not available to everyone (otherwise the developers would drown in bad proposals like they do on forums);

故事大概是这样的，一开始让肉侦豹做德国7级的时候并没有反对SPIC的“阴谋”，只是开发者不知道这车而已。很多时候你在论坛上嚷着要换什么车是不会有什么作为的（尤其是毛服以外的论坛，虽然在毛服论坛也没卵用）——除非他们从某人那得到私密信息，否则开发者们根本看不见。SPIC这事就是如此，数据由玩家直接私密地传给了开发者，没别人知道这事。这种情况也是很稀少的，并不对大众奏效（要不开发者们早就淹死在论坛信息里了）

- Yuri Pasholok on how historical should the tanks in WoT be: "Let me put it this way... historicity should end as soon as it starts interfering with gameplay. Historicism in the game is how the tank looks and sounds. This is where you can put certain effort to a degree. Then again, putting too much effort into external appearance is also not not necessary. In most cases, the modelling is performed by people who don't care whether it's a tank or an elf girl in thongs. They have never seen a tank or they did see some broken ass one in some kind of basic military training or on a pedestal. Regardless, they don't know how it looks inside. Generally it's very contradictory. For me personally it should be a symbiosis of gameplay and historicity in which paper tanks fit well amongst the rest. If you have to nerf of buff armor within reason - why not."

Yuri对于游戏中的坦克应该有多“历史”的看法：“这么说吧，历史性在考虑游戏性的时候就终结了。游戏中的历史性仅限于坦克外观和声音，可以在这方面下点功夫，但在外观上努力过度没啥必要。大多数情况下，建模的人又不会在乎他们建的是坦克还是系着皮带的精灵女孩，他们有可能都没见过坦克，或是只是在些基础军事教育上看过，再或是看过安在底座上的坦克模型。他们根本不知道坦克内部是啥样。这是非常矛盾的。就我个人而言，这应该是游戏性和历史性的共生体，纸面坦克也和其他坦克适合的一样好。如果需要在合理范围内加强或者砍装甲，为啥不做呢。”
