Gaea: In update 7.0 camouflages were introduced in the game. With them tankers are now able to change the exterior of their battle vehicles. But aside of adding more and more patterns, no changes were done to the system itself. In update 8.0 we plan to change this situation.

In the next World of Tanks update the camouflage system will be reworked. Players will receive the possibility to purchase 3 types of camouflage which will coincide with 3 types of maps – ‘Summer’, ‘Winter’ and ‘Sand’. The ‘Summer’ pattern will be displayed only on summer maps, like Prohorovka, while the ‘Winter’ pattern will camouflage tanks only on ‘Winter’ maps. The ‘Sand’ camouflage will color the vehicle in a similar way on the more sandy maps like El Halluf.

Camouflage will adapt to the landscape automatically if the appropriate pattern is purchased for the vehicle.
The camouflage menu will be changed (seeing this is only a draft, we were unable to create an English version):



But the main thing in the update is the fact that adaptive camouflage will now give a slight bonus to the camouflage rates of the vehicle. Currently it’s set to 5%, but the end percentage may change after tests. Bonus camouflage will stack with camouflage net and camouflage crew skill.

Camouflage, as it is currently, can be temporary purchased for credits or permanently set up (until a new purchase is made) on the vehicle using gold.

We want to remind you that this is only a work concept that may change upon your feedback and Public Test statistics.

A couple of points: More types of camo could be added in the future including urban.
If you have purchased camo in the past with gold it will be refunded (possibly) if you still own the tank. You will then get to choose the use the new camo system if you want.  All old camo will be removed.
If you choose just to buy a winter camo on a tank, when you are on other types of maps you will have the standard non camo appearance.
You may not have 2 camos of the same type on the same tank. If  you buy a second one the first is replaced.
Prices have not been set yet.
Please provide your feedback on these changes!

Vallter: In 8.0 you will be able to play with mods selection.

Vallter: 1)Don't mess driving down and jumping off. You can drive down, but tanks were not invented for flying-)
2)Building will most probably destroy upon your weight (not completely though, we are still reworking this thing). But yes, there are many intresting short cuts'. Specially for Light Vehicles. You can even push medium tank with a Maus or two to the hill on steep sides of the hill to flank the enemy.
3)Westfield... This map is now one of my favourite -)

Vallter: Yes, since he have still not received damage from falling

Vallter: We will release more information later.

Vallter: Yes, you will most probably have to submit reports, though auto-TK detection system updaet for physics is also In-Development.

Vallter: When discussing the physics concept we made bets, how soon will players surprise us with their experiments.... Seems, I've won-))

Vallter: Yes, this is planned, probably in 8.2 But it has low priority.

GeneralDirection: It was answered very early in the thread. The special was unintentionally coded to end on Sunday rather then the very standard Monday that all weekend specials end on. It wasn't done so spite you.
And no, changing specials is not as simple as a command line. There are a lot of things that can break if a special is not set properly.

Vallter: You will be rarely flipped. Normally, vehicles will stop at angle of 50-70 degrees... Though if this think happens you will have 5-10 seconds to receive help from your teammates.
