News from wot EU page:
[quote]The special World of Tanks Preliminary Physics update will only be available on our test servers. The test server has been activated, [B]so players can download the test client straight away[/B].[/quote]

Everything would be cool if not for the fact that the client downloads so slowly, about 250-350kb/s for me.

[Awesomecaek]

It installed

still can't connect

Those players with a Pz4 in their garage won't be able to join the public physics test. Says Storm :v:

[editline]21st August 2012[/editline]

I also like how I was trying to connect literally every minute and ended up stuck in a queue anyway

I bet there's like 500 slots and 500 000 russians queuing

[h2]
I AM FUCKING IN[/h2]

I can now say that I have bounced off the top of a batchat

also training battles are disabled and pings are 200+ for US guys so good luck getting good positioning to flip a tank

[Menelven]

Managed to get on, the maps do look really different, but they are different as well, new rocks, bumps, ditches. For example, the curve round the mountain in the southwest pass round the mountain seems to be larger and have a bit more cover.

Driving off a cliff really punished my Chaffee, lost turret, ammo, tracks, gunner, driver and loader, but it does open up more movement possibilities.

Edit: For example, on Fjords

For me this is the saddest thing about that test so far.

I am wondering if I can get stuck on the sides of hills now, how it has a certain threshold that you just couldn't pass before, if you will be able to still turn. getting stuck on hills and not being able to turn is annoying as hell

If your tracks touch the ground, you can get out of such situations. Getting stuck is nigh impossible now.

[scout1]

The garage is an ugly sepia now

Those aren't the updated graphics right?

Seems stranglely bloomy, my 7.5 install doesn't look like that. Does the test include 8.0 renderer?

[quote]This test will not contain any additional features expected for release in 8.0 and no new content will be available during this test, so players will not receive any additional gold or experience buffs. We want to specifically bring you attention to the fact that this is not a Public Test of update 8.0.

As a fair warning, mods during this test will cause the game to crash, so please refrain from using them. [B]This test will include an unfinished version of our new graphics engine so you will want to make sure all your drivers are current[/B].[/quote]

LEMMINGS

[Awesomecaek]

It feels really weird to see 85km/h on the hud.

[NuclearDwarf]

oh wow ahahahahahaa
oh god this is so much fun

also the IS-4 looks way different now

[Menelven]

With physics, the E-50 is hilarious, you push all the other meds around, ram them at full speed? You're not stopping for 20/30metres, it's like bowling, but with tanks.

Edit: Something I found showcasing physics and the Maus on the WoT forums.

best patch of all years?

[Doom14]

holy shit is this amazing

Light tanks have some new purpose. Heavy tanks can do horrible things. I love this. Best patch ever.

The new graphics look nice too.

I CAN FINALLY DO THIS NOW. FUCK YEAH.

And lost position in the cue. Fuck.

[Awesomecaek]

local problem

[Doom14]

I really wish the cue had a "position in line" indicator.

I'm tempted to keep mashing connect manually, but I also feel like there could be less than a 100 people in front of me in line. :v:

This just in, mashing connect gets you in far faster.

The queue is a lie.

It randomly lets people in as slots free up.

Mash enter repeatedly for quicker way in.
