Please make sure to post this feedback in the test forums and encourage as many players as possible to join in the discussion.

Is it running now? Can I use my game client from previous test?

Will the previous launcher update automatically or do we need to download the entire test client again?

Also, still can't login. Getting "Server error (NO_LOGINAPP)".

how much is known about the test start?

when i see

"- Rebalanced all vehicles introduced in 8.0: PzIV Schmalturm, Object 263, SU-101, SU-100М1, SU-122-54."

i don't have a clue what is rebalanced. Can we see some exact data? so even if i don't go on test server i can follow changes.

Also, there are changes to some other vehicles. Can we see data that are changed?

Thanx.

p.s.

and when i see this

"- Dramatically increased performance on all maps with new renderings" i am always more than happy, if this is true and is working

p.p.s

- Reworked battle weight and Tier spread for T-127 and Matilda Black Prince

how? now is +/-1 or?
