fatkiddown: World of Tanks: CliffsNotes: Lead Designer Sergey Burkatovskiy Talks The Future of WoT & The Coming T26E4 Super Pershing Premium Tank

They will not make unique skills/perks per nation. The many tanks by nation are enough uniqueness.
More changes are coming for tournament play, via the web.
Spectator mode coming.
Replays to be saved to server, better quality, and rewind feature -- hopefully by end of year.
Will there be matching by skills? Keep noobs from pros -- like in Dota? No, This will not happen. Noobs and pros always to play together.
Along with the new physics, map destruction is coming.
Historical and garage battles coming.
IS8 and KV4 complaints: no changes planned.
T-50-2 deletion: why? It is not based on any prototype. IRL, it was a slow vehicle for infantry support. In game, it is a motorcycle with a gun. A replacement is coming. They have a guy on their team with a huge stack of photos, who researches tanks. He has found a replacement for the T-50-2, created in 1943, equipped like the T-50-2. It will play like the T-50-2.
How can you get non-clanned players to play on the global map? Historical battles will be similar to the global map, but without obligations. The clan global map takes a lot of dedication. The historical global map will not.
T26E4 SuperPershing: New premium tier 8 medium coming? Yes, American super Pershing. It was apparently a modification of M26 Pershing -- the Americans captured Panthers, removed the armor from them and welded it to the T26E4 SuperPershing.
New Trees Coming:

                 British
                 Japanese
                 Chinese
                 Europe

Japanese and British trees are coming. Also coming: Chinese Tree and European Tree. Chinese tree: real problems with it. It did not begin until after ww2. Its 1st ank is based on T-34-85 -- tier 6. Team Europe: more problems -- many vehicles widely built and traded among nations.
