Teaser Trailer: Update 8.0

The graphics upgrade is very impressive (stunning really, I do want to see the maps with the new shadows and water) but I am not looking forward to the new physics.  
I can't help but think this level of physics is like adding tripping mechanics in an FPS. You never see an FPS where you can die by slipping on the dirt, hitting your head on a rock and getting a concussion.   That may be realistic but it's not fun.
WoT has always done a excellent job balancing realism and fun.   I really liked how the original game was straightforward and let you focus on the fun parts of driving around massive warmachines blowing things up (or getting blown up in turn).  I can only hope that same balance was applied with these new physics.  
I just wonder how the game is going to be made more fun watching my tank capsize in a river or tumble down an embankment.  Dying from the environment rather than dying from opponents is a major change in the gameplay, and I have to hope these physics do not make that a major element.  
Because the alternative methods to kill opponents with jumping and ramming do sound very entertaining, but again that is the result of player actions, not terrain mechanics.
