Can’t get enough of World of Tanks?  Good!  Then come and check out our latest ASAP video interview with Lead Game Designer Sergey Burkatovsky talking about your favourite game!

Full news text

I hope the new rendering system actually is optimized. Still kind of out of the blue news that they are making a makeover to the engine. Maybe something borrowed from WoWp.

"As for the medium tanks we're going to add two types. Semi-heavy tank, or the 'infantry tanks'"

Does that mean the Churchill is on the medium line? Because that's an Infantry Tank.

As Sergey mentioned in the interview the new rendering system is planned for 8.0 and it will be totally remade.
Can't wait to see that - exciting news!

I would play as a stationary fortification, so long as it had the dustbin or something unique about them thats attractive :p

4 man platoon thing i can totally understand though, as a 3 man platoon people using teamwork can be "op" :p

British tanks though, that did give me a pause of concern, considering that many of the tanks medium, heavy and infantry tanks used the same guns, is it going to be a case of APDS rounds for the mediums or something? Also going off that, the explaination of the tanks pros and cons was jumbled, and could mean 1 of several things from what i can tell, a more "precise" explaination would be nice, for example,

Infantry tanks pros and cons
Example, matilda, churchill, valentine
Medium/cruiser tanks pros and cons
crusader, cromwell, comet, centurion (medium)
Heavy tanks pros and cons
The conq

As the 3 are fairly seperate (and cruiser/medium can be argued to be seperate too but heh), but they all shared the same weaponry for the most part, making the "this group will have firepower but this group which was armed in the same way wont" thing confusing and would be nice to explain how they are different from 1 another and by how much.

I might just be misshearing it but i would like clarification.

Finally physics (or not ). Just love how the tracks reacts on bumpy rocks, look at the M48. Thumbs up.

*Sigh* No maps with Tanks driving on the ceiling, typical WG not listening to the community...

[/lol]

Nice to the the physics comming "soon", much "soon"-er then I though!

I can't wait until the cruiser tanks personally!

The rendering system looks very good, multicore support is good

i really cant wait for that new physics, system. Also, hopefully the new rendering system will actual allow your computer to use more than one core

new rendering system -  new problems with FPS

What does 'cruiser tank' mean anyway? Are they supposed to be fast or something?

Depends a lot on how well optimized it is. If it is better optimized it might actually improve performance.

It is a class of tanks that the brits used. http://en.wikipedia..../Cruiser_tank   They are fast lightly armoured tanks.

Physics+Rendering system?
That's just incredible.
Bring it on!

cant wait for the brits tbh, they seem far more interesting as french tanks :p

I like this videos, which provide us with usefull information about what could we acspect in near future.Good job WG.Personally as many of you i cant wait brithish tanks to come. Hope that they will be in 0.8 update.

LOL, serb is admitting that they mindlessly keep adding new content instead of fixing bugs! This is brilliant.

Many players already play as stationary fortifications....i.e. campers

I'm hoping that they play like the Hellcat, which is my favorite tank in-game. Fast and lightly armoured yet able to hit hard. The Comet and Centurion are what I'm most looking forward too.
