Hello everyone,

recently, a WoT Blitz stream took place on Russian server. Here’s what was said in it (related to Blitz, not classic WoT):

- the recent tests went really fine, resulting in significant FPS increase
- Android version is ready to be taken to next stage of testing, release is planned until the end of the year
- iOS version will have better graphics
- minimum version of Android to run Blitz will be version 4.+
- there will be a second round of Android testing
- there will not be separate servers for Android and iOS
- camouflage and perks will come next year- in the future, the option to disable “dynamic penetration zones” will be implemented
- it’s possible the tier balance will be reviewed
- in patch 1.4, new branch (ending with Maus) will appear, as well as premium IS-6
- in patch 1.5, the debriefing (post-battle statistics) screen will be reworked
- graphic settings will be implemented, but only for Android
- vehicle characteristics and serverside part are the same on Blitz, as they were in 0.8.6 version of WoT
- RU region server can withstand more than 30k players
- if a player wants, he can run the game on a PC, the developers can’t prevent that
- British branch will come until the end of this year, but it most likely will not be a full branch

- training rooms will not be implemented this year
- several new battle modes are planned, including a clan mode for hightier tanks (9-10)
- voicechat will most likely be implemented, but it’s not known when
- chat as a whole will be completely reworked
- KV-2 will most likely appear in the game
- after the Android release, developers are planning to implement missions, clans, seriously reworked tutorial and camouflage
- something like Hall of Fame is planned
- the best player amongst the developers of Blitz has 78 percent winrate
