Please note one thing: this is an info, gleaned from leaking WG internal
conversations and chain letters, but the summary is insider’s representation
of what the developer things. It can be wrong, but I try to doublecheck some
of the info with other sources and post only the stuff that actually fits, so
it should be reliable.
請注意：這些消息素材是蒐集自WG內部的討論和信件，再由該局內人揣摩開發人員的想法
。信息可能有誤，但我會拿來和其他消息來源比對，並只貼出吻合的部分，所以應該可信
- for Xbox, M6A2E1 arrives on 2.3.2015 (non HD)
大頭 M6 會在 2.3.2015 登陸XB版（非 HD 版）
- for PC, M6A2E1 will not be sold again (applies to EU and NA), the intent to
make its owners stay really special, armor is still planned for rebalance
(historical armor) when the HD model appears
不會在電腦版重新販售大頭 M6（適用於歐服及美服），意圖讓他保有特殊性；裝甲仍預
計在 HD 化時修正回史實
- American T18 TD will be converted to artillery during the next big
artillery rebalance patch. Artillery rebalance will happen at some point in
the future, the one thing that could accelerate it is if the 9.6 accuracy
changes prove to be really bad for arty class, otherwise it will take a very
long time and has low priority. This change is the work of one of the US
staff, likely The_Chieftain (SS: yup, IIRC, the proposed way is T18 – arty,
replaced by T3HMC?)
預計將美國 T18 (TD) 在下次自走砲大型平衡時歸類為自走砲。自走砲平衡的時間，要
看 9.6 的準度修改有沒有重創自走砲的表現；要是沒有，平衡將會花上很長時間且優先
度低。T18 車種更動是美國人負責，很可能是 The_Chieftain（SS: 如果我沒記錯，應該
是用 T3 HMS 代替？）
- Minsk is getting tired of WG EU mismanagement of regular-to-unsatisfactory
quality of customer service and are already planning something for it,
however details are not shared by messages. A meeting is at hand. This means
a lot of stuff, as WG will have to make changes to each and every language
and their PR/Customer Support systems in order to “weed out” the
deficiencies.
（歐服辦公室的問題，略）
- NA server is considered the most “comfortable” community-wise, because “
people are not at each other’s throats” and the staff is quite reliable,
however “they know” that the suggestions forum is pretty abandoned (almost
hopeless to post anything there as of now)
美服社群被認為是最「友善」的，因為沒有對立問題而且員工表現可靠；但是已知論壇的
建議區是荒廢中（目前幾乎不可能在那發文）
- a new chat feature that is considered is to leave messages to offline
friends (only those that have you as a friend as well)
正在考慮做離線訊息功能
- WoWs will share premium resources (gold) just as WoWp and WoT
戰艦世界會跟戰機、戰車世界共用相同的金幣
- WoWs vandidates for several mid-tier premium “boats” are being prepared,
including a preorder one
戰艦世界正在準備數艘中階的加值「船艦」，包括一艘預購艦
- the new WG balance policy when introducing a new tank is to first add its “
historical values”, then “overnerf the vehicle and finally strengthen it up
”, because it’s easier to manage a vehicle with mediocre stats, because it
involves less whines when actually WG announces nerfs and “everybody cheers
” when they get buffed
新的新車平衡政策是先「套用史實數據」，然後「把他砍過頭再補回來」；因為處理表現
平庸的車較容易；也因為宣布下調性能造成的抱怨聲較少，再上修性能時「皆大歡喜」
- Maus won’t be buffed despite its t9 version coming out, so no 15cm gun for
Maus (a developer here states that if they were to add a 15cm gun to the
Maus, the “differences” with the E-100 would make the tank “a
retard-on-wheels”, since “Maus should be driven for its armor, and we won’
t balance it just because it’s not used in Clan Wars”. The tank is not for
“everybody to drive, but anyone can get it”. Basically, to sum it up,
adding a 15cm gun to the Maus would imbalance it and would make the W-100
look like a “wimp”, because it would be the same gun with much, much more
armor, despite the E-100 being “one of the most used tanks in clan warfare”.
引進小老鼠不會造成大老鼠 buff，也就是說大老鼠不會有 150 砲。（老鼠就是賣那身裝
甲，不會因為工會戰都坐冷板凳就 buff 它；它是「人人都能有，但不是人人都適合開」
的車。給老鼠裝 150 砲會太強，用一樣的砲會讓隔壁裝甲不如人的 E-100 只能去玩沙）
- tier 9 Mauschen should have one more set of rebalances before being added
to public test, and yes, its double threads allegedly are a pain in the ass
to penetrate and these things are currently “completely immune to HEAT”,
thanks to the skirts + threads + hull armor
小老鼠在公測前還會再平衡一次。他的側裙+履帶+車身裝甲極難穿透而且目前幾乎完全
對 HEAT 彈免疫。
- no plans to buff Japanese tanks despite some devs saying that they are “
mediocre at best up to tier 6〃 in every aspect. Historically speaking, it
would be impossible to rebalance, given that the Japanese guns, overall
labeled as “weak”, weren’t really developed during that era. However,
naval cannons are another thing. Also, for some reason, despite this
performance labels, the tanks seem to be faring pretty OK in their winrate
and player acceptance. Tier 7 to 10 are considered okay, many players seem to
like the t7 tank autoloading gun.
就算有些開發人員評價：「日本車直到六階最多只能算是平庸」，仍沒有 buff 他們的計
畫。就史實來講根本不可能平衡，因為那段時期日本沒認真研發火砲（整體來說很弱）。
但海軍又是另一回事了。而且因為其他原因，他們的勝率和接受度似乎不差。七階以上被
認為沒問題，許多玩家挺喜歡七階車那隻彈匣砲
- TD’s are scarce for the Japan tree as well, they’re looking into a gun
that uses a 77mm caliber shell with no better performance than the one of the
regular current guns of the branch, implementing it would mean “dragging
that weapon for like 3 tiers and re-using the same gun for these tanks with
different names now”, also quoting one of them saying “well, it either has
a gasket-pooper or a behemoth gun” (some mounting a naval gun, one-shot
wonders, almost like the SU-100Y).
日本科技樹也缺乏TD；他們用 77mm 砲，不比遊戲中現有的要好；真要實裝會變成「連續
三階都用一樣的砲，只是換個名字而已」，另一位說「不是用敲門砲，就是裝巨根」（裝
艦砲的版本，如 SU-100Y）
- AMX 40 is now officially the worst tank ever, yet strangely, it has quite a
number of fans, because “they like the ugly thing” and “duck” appearance,
despite its gun being overly terrible for the tanks it faces. The rebalancing
that will happen may increase its performance “slightly”. At some point
(7.x era), the AMX-40 used to go backwards as fast as forwards.
AMX 40 正式成為有史以來最爛的車；但奇怪的是，就算它的砲很爛，仍不少粉絲喜歡他
的鴨子外型。些下來的平衡會讓它的表現「稍微」改善。曾幾何時（約 7.X 版）AMX 40
倒車跟前進是一樣快的呢
- WG took notice of Japanese Anime called “Kantai Collection”, where some
girls are naval ships (???), it’s possible they *may* do something with the
publisher corporation, same as it happened with Girls und Panzer.
WG 注意到日本動畫《艦隊蒐藏》。「可能」會有合作，跟當初和《少女與戰車》一樣
（譯者：去年9月東京電玩展上，《蒼藍鋼鐵戰艦》已經宣布跟WG合作了…能不能再整合
《艦蒐》進來呢 wwww）
- Some of the WG staffmembers regret introducing the Chinese line before the
European one, but they had not enough resources to assemble anything that
would represent the euro line at that moment and even if they had, it would
have a bunch of T-44/T-54 copies too, which would have been later scrapped by
other tanks as they became available. The Chinese weere “surprisingly more
active in helping us assemble the line (with a few stumbles and a lot of
political suffering)”, especially when they announced their interest in
opening a Chinese server (with their own rules) and the result is that the
thing became a huge mess with all the payments and whatnot. However, Chinese
tanks are popular there (as expected), but “it’s not something that we want
to do again”.
有些員工後悔在歐洲線出現前就推出中國線，但他們當時也沒有足夠的資料建構歐洲線；
就算有，也是一堆 T-44 和 T-55 的複製車，在新的車輛資料出現後遲早會被換掉。中國
人「比想像中更積極地協助我們建立中國線（除了少數錯誤和許多政治壓力外）」，特別
是在宣布有意建立中國獨立伺服器後。雖然結果是陸服因為種種原因而一團混亂。中國線
在那邊受到歡迎，但「我們不想再搞一次。」
- on that topic, WG is unhappy to see their game being converted into full
derp mode on china, but “noting we can do about it”. There, it has a very
strong pay to win factor- however, it generates a lot of income for them
(Type59 floods) despite having to share their earnings with a third party
corp. Also, the community is nothing short of “xenophobic” and.. (on a
personal note), racist (“gaijin go home” type of racism) – even a certain
KongZhong developer was recorded throwing racist insults around.
承上，WG 不樂見自己的遊戲被搞成陸服的模樣，但是「完全無能為力」。在那，花錢者
勝利的狀況非常嚴重；雖然要和第三方合作伙伴分享，但仍創造了大量公司收入（滿坑滿
谷的五九式）。而且那邊的玩家不乏「仇外者」以及「種族主義者」（『蝸牛滾蛋』主義
者）；甚至有看到某空中網的人員在四處散播侮辱的言論。
- BMPs and their concepts have been scrapped and shelved, there was one
planned as a test, but it would have been “too high a tier” and “too weak
a gun”
BMP 及裝步戰車的概念已被廢棄；曾有過測試但「車弱砲也弱」
- Churchill Black Prince is gaining fame amongst some of the staff that plays
and players too, apparently the tank is “comfortable” to drive and
reliable, despite the slow speed and rather weak caliber gun, it makes it up
for the superb accuracy and reload along with good armor layout
黑王子在部分有玩它的開發人員以及一般玩家間建立起地位，因為這台車好開而且可靠。
雖然速度慢而且口徑稍小，但極佳的準度、裝填時間以及好裝甲能彌補缺點。
- AT-15A is a little more popular/better winrate now that it has limited MM
and increased earnings “within the expected results”, meaning the tank won’
t be seeing any more buffs or changes until the end of time
AT-15A 因為有了分房保護和增加收入，其普及度及勝率都有提升「符合預期」，意思是
未來不會進一步更動這台車。
- no Löwe buffs planned
沒計畫 buff 獅式
- WG will track AMX CDC’S performance in the following patches and see if
the tank manages too poorly having a full MM and overall worse performance
than the FCM 50t. If there’s going to be a buff, it will be slight, however
the MM spread will remain unchanged
會追蹤 CDC 的表現，看看整體上是否比 50t 要差。若要 buff 也只會稍微更動，不會動
分房
- if you want a solid performer, buy FCM 50t and not AMX CDC, as they are
certainly planning to remove it from the store
如果想買台可靠的車，選 50t，不要買 CDC；他們肯定在計畫將 50t 下架
- M56 Scorpion coming to stores “soon”, it’ll have full MM as well
M56 蠍式將會「很快」上架，也沒有分房保護
- IS-6 won’t be removed from the store in quite a bit of time, as it’s the
most purchased currently (SS: of tier 8 premiums? Unclear here)
IS-6 短期內不會下架，因為他是目前賣的最好的（SS: 不確定是不是算八階金車而已）
- camo factor is still planned for rebalance, but first, WG will gather data
on the TD nerf, as it’s the class that mostly “benefits from it” –
meaning that they tend to camp more than any other tank, despite having the
bonuses removed, since “it’s within their nature”
仍計畫要將隱蔽係數重新平衡；但首先要蒐集 TD 被砍之後的數據，因為 TD 是受其影響
最深的車：他們比其他車種更蹲，因為「本該如此」，算拿掉了車種隱蔽加成也一樣。
- IM involving setting certain amount of tanks on fire may get changed to be
more RNG friendly
要把對方車打到起火的個人任務可能被修改，讓機率問題沒這麼嚴重
