If you look at the original thread about the joystick awards you guys posted about a week ago.... the majority of people were saying heck no to giving Wot/ WG their vote.... and this is mainly because of lack of good customer support and not addressing valid complaints over long periods of time.... Heck you can't even get someone to respond to posts like the one I'm writing. The resposnes mainly go to the ones that can be easily answered. I stated before in the other thread and I'll say it again. The majority of players on the NA server would rather have our concerns addressed, bad/ broken/ non existent things fixed, a game you can play without having to resort to outside sites for information that WoT has but doesn't supply its player base.... we'd rather have stuff like that versus the hurredly pushed out updates to give us the next great tank that costs money only to be nerfed the next update, or barnyard animal and bird sounds. The clans and CoAF have been asking for the simplest of things so they can run their clans more efficiently. I'd wager the majority of players are in a clan, and clan players tend to spend more money versus casual players. Not to mention Clan leaders have shelled out money to create a clan, make an emblem, change an emblem.... we'd even spend money to change a clan name, but again thats another part of the game that's broken and doesn't work, and still doesn't get addressed. I used to be a happily paying player, buying prem tanks, and prem accounts.... I stopped because you guys don't seem to listen or care unless it's regarding gameplay. Sorry, you can keep your bribes.... because that's what they really are... regardless of if other games do the same. I'll keep my vote. I like WoT, and I realize you can't make everyone happy, but how about work on issues that have sorely needed work for a long time instead of an update. I could write a list of 10 things that have been asked for a long time and still have more to add to it.

This award thing comes up then all of a sudden WG is pulling out alot of the stops to get this award....If this isnt trying to buy our vote I dunno wat is then.
Dont get me wrong I love the game, but im also aware that if WG wins this award, they have alot to gain from winning this....I doubt if they will lose anything from losing the award...
But WG does stand to gain alot from an award like this....
Just my thoughts.....

ForcestormX, on Sep 03 2012 - 17:10, said: I think, expanding on this, that the calculation for effective armor for situations where the opponent has angled his plate in front of you in addition to the natural angle of the plate, would be
T = X / (cos(Y-Z)*cos(B)); where B is the angle between the centerline along the tank facing you and the line extended from your gun. In other words, the amount the other tanker has angled his tank.
So a Type 59 who has angled his hull 10 degrees would have T = 100 / (cos(60-7)*cos(10)) = 100 / (0.6018 * 0.9848) = 100 / (0.59266) = 168.73 mm
This is assuming that normalization is in only one axis. If it is in fact in two axis, then the thickness would be T = X / (cos(Y-Z)*cos(B-Z)), making for that same 10 degrees
T = 100 / (cos(60-7) * cos (10-7)) = 100 / (0.6018 * 0.9986) = 100 / 0.6010 = 166.40 mm

ChrisRaptor1, on Sep 01 2012 - 06:00, said: I'd like to know why you think the Ausf A. is such a crappy tank, I loved it, still own it and just need to get new mods for it and I'll take it out again (took them off for Ausf. B)
In my opinion, its the best combination of:
-- Armor (Spaced, 120mm frontal armor, 185mm frontal turret armor)
-- Mobility (38 Kp/h TS, and an 840 hp engine at 57.32 tonnage)
-- FirePower (that 105mm is devastating...ya sure it lacks the 25mm pen from the KTs big 105mm, but just aim and its fine, and with almost 6 rounds per minute)
all-in-all, I prefered the Ausf A over the KT, just because of all of the above, its just an amazing tank, prob one of my most favorite of the Tier 8's

The E50M I like, its way more mobile compared to the E-50, the gun is awesome and the speed and engine ratio is quite nice, ramming is also awesome to do with 100% controlled impact ^^
and yes the speed is nice being able to do 60 kp/h with a tank that heavy
but with the E-100 ive gotta agree, its...i dont know.....its....ive just switced to 90% HE and have like 5 AP rounds for those sure-fire pen shots, other than that...the gun is really sub-par comapred to everything other T10

I think it would be great if the bad driver was allowed to go over a cliff and get destroyed or damaged by doing so.
Another idea would be to add weather conditions like fog, smoke, rain and snow.

Serious question, what was the rational behind the implementation of multiple attacks in CW?  To me, that combined with pillaging will make the CW map active only once a week or so, instead of the daily fighting we have now (i.e. a step backwards not forwards.  Why instead of making attacking harder and defense almost impossible, wouldn't you instead make attacking easier by say implementing tank locking and say increasing chip burn times based on how long a chip stack has been on that province, or even how long a province has been held (e.g. for every 100 turns I have 15 chips on province x/own province x, when I lose that province, those chips are knocked out for an additional 24 turns, up to a maximum of 120).  This is like how a long deployment makes refurbing more difficult.


Zaratank, on Sep 03 2012 - 01:01, said: If my question is already answered, please forgive me. The thread is, to make an understatement, TL;DR.
But anyways, my questions.
1)Any chance we will get the WZ-111? The Type 62 was originally a Chinese Server only vehicle, and you had no plans to release it, yet it popped up in our gift shop.
2)Are there going to be DECENT buffs for the E-100 and Maus? More hp, turret speed, all those things are obsolete unless you increase armor, gun pen, ANYTHING to put them on par with other heavies. Armor and the "mobile bunker" style of Maus and E-100 are completely obsolete in a game where mediums can circlestrafe any vehicle too slow to keep up. They get penned up, down, left and right without being able to give any back, and they are literally too slow and dated to be of use in most situations. I know you russians hate the german vehicles, but seriously!
3)Any plan to open up some WoT swag, like T-Shirts, customizable model tanks with the WoT logo, keychains, any form of swag? I'd really like some WoT swag.
4)Are you ever going to make a hard and fast rule and keep to it? Really shakes things up (in a not-so-good way) when you say things like, "No tier 10 mediums or TDs!" and then all of a sudden they are here making our heavies scream in frustration.
5)Is Russian BiasTM real? Its kind of hard to deny, as its very clear that russian vehicles have very little fault outside of frequent engine fires and ammo rack damages, which, with a couple cheap consumables, are easy to erase, while German vehicles suffer from all this, and more, while being statistically worse than all russian vehicles. The other nations also suffer from what I call Statistical Deficiency. Every single patch, russian tanks are buffed while everything else gets nerfed, when, irl, this was not true and all other nations were on par or better than russian vehicles.
6)When are you finally gonna crack down on teamkillers, team damage, and griefers in a way that matters? So what, his name turns blue for a couple games. He stops playing for a few days. It doesnt change anything. He'll come back and do it again.
Thanks for letting me ask some of these vicious questions everyone doesnt want to get banned for asking. I hope you dont take offense and swing your banhammer at me. Hopefully you'll get back to me.


KarateF22, on Sep 03 2012 - 02:46, said: Do you ever have any intention to display the soft stats on tracks? I see no reason not to, other than if you do not wish players to know of any ninja buffs/nerfs. Letting players know what their tanks can really do is a big factor in tanking and hiding a stat as important to maneuverability as passability is somewhat laughable. Knowing a tanks camo coefficient would also be nice

ChrisRaptor1, on Sep 01 2012 - 05:00, said: I'd like to know why you think the Ausf A. is such a crappy tank, I loved it, still own it and just need to get new mods for it and I'll take it out again (took them off for Ausf. B)

In my opinion, its the best combination of:

-- Armor (Spaced, 120mm frontal armor, 185mm frontal turret armor)
-- Mobility (38 Kp/h TS, and an 840 hp engine at 57.32 tonnage)
-- FirePower (that 105mm is devastating...ya sure it lacks the 25mm pen from the KTs big 105mm, but just aim and its fine, and with almost 6 rounds per minute)

all-in-all, I prefered the Ausf A over the KT, just because of all of the above, its just an amazing tank, prob one of my most favorite of the Tier 8's




The E50M I like, its way more mobile compared to the E-50, the gun is awesome and the speed and engine ratio is quite nice, ramming is also awesome to do with 100% controlled impact ^^

and yes the speed is nice being able to do 60 kp/h with a tank that heavy

but with the E-100 ive gotta agree, its...i dont know.....its....ive just switced to 90% HE and have like 5 AP rounds for those sure-fire pen shots, other than that...the gun is really sub-par comapred to everything other T10

ysoignorant, on Sep 01 2012 - 08:11, said: When will we see the return of maps that were taken out to be redesigned/tweaked? (ie. Dragon Ridge)

Is there a possibility to raise the tier limit on Province to tier 5? It just seems like a more reasonable tier as they aren't too accurate, nor have enough view range.

With WarGaming's recent purchase of BigWorld, should we be expecting to see multi-core processor support coming down the pipes?

Are you planning on adding appliqué armour as a module/consumable later on?


If these questions have been asked already, feel free to skip me.

Northman5, on Sep 02 2012 - 05:01, said: Will you ever add driver accidents to the game? What I mean is if a tank now tries to drive off a cliff or tries to drive into a lake or the ocean the tank just stops and will not proceed.
I think it would be great if the bad driver was allowed to go over a cliff and get destroyed or damaged by doing so.

Another idea would be to add weather conditions like fog, smoke, rain and snow.



AMartin223, on Sep 02 2012 - 05:14, said: When will you start giving R/Os to player who insist on continuing to post nonconstructive complaints such as, "German tanks suck!  **** WG and it's Russian bias"?  This thread is starting to get painful to go through after the sixtieth ce omment about how all german tanks suck....

Serious question, what was the rational behind the implementation of multiple attacks in CW?  To me, that combined with pillaging will make the CW map active only once a week or so, instead of the daily fighting we have now (i.e. a step backwards not forwards.  Why instead of making attacking harder and defense almost impossible, wouldn't you instead make attacking easier by say implementing tank locking and say increasing chip burn times based on how long a chip stack has been on that province, or even how long a province has been held (e.g. for every 100 turns I have 15 chips on province x/own province x, when I lose that province, those chips are knocked out for an additional 24 turns, up to a maximum of 120).  This is like how a long deployment makes refurbing more difficult.



Zaratank, on Sep 03 2012 - 00:01, said: If my question is already answered, please forgive me. The thread is, to make an understatement, TL;DR.
But anyways, my questions.

1)Any chance we will get the WZ-111? The Type 62 was originally a Chinese Server only vehicle, and you had no plans to release it, yet it popped up in our gift shop.

2)Are there going to be DECENT buffs for the E-100 and Maus? More hp, turret speed, all those things are obsolete unless you increase armor, gun pen, ANYTHING to put them on par with other heavies. Armor and the "mobile bunker" style of Maus and E-100 are completely obsolete in a game where mediums can circlestrafe any vehicle too slow to keep up. They get penned up, down, left and right without being able to give any back, and they are literally too slow and dated to be of use in most situations. I know you russians hate the german vehicles, but seriously!

3)Any plan to open up some WoT swag, like T-Shirts, customizable model tanks with the WoT logo, keychains, any form of swag? I'd really like some WoT swag.

4)Are you ever going to make a hard and fast rule and keep to it? Really shakes things up (in a not-so-good way) when you say things like, "No tier 10 mediums or TDs!" and then all of a sudden they are here making our heavies scream in frustration.

5)Is Russian BiasTM real? Its kind of hard to deny, as its very clear that russian vehicles have very little fault outside of frequent engine fires and ammo rack damages, which, with a couple cheap consumables, are easy to erase, while German vehicles suffer from all this, and more, while being statistically worse than all russian vehicles. The other nations also suffer from what I call Statistical Deficiency. Every single patch, russian tanks are buffed while everything else gets nerfed, when, irl, this was not true and all other nations were on par or better than russian vehicles.

6)When are you finally gonna crack down on teamkillers, team damage, and griefers in a way that matters? So what, his name turns blue for a couple games. He stops playing for a few days. It doesnt change anything. He'll come back and do it again.

lets not put reality in here, theres alot of gaps in the game where reality would mess up the game as it is with tanks that didnt even get off the drawing board. the KV-1S has higher speed, better armor and for the time being better gun(though i heard there is going to be a removal of the 122mm) and the VK 4502 (P) has 38kph. The Tiger (H) recorded speed was 45kph, but it ended up breaking the ending doing that, and that speed would put it as a medium and be too OP for the game, thats why the 38kph speed would be better suited(the 38kph was the speed it could reach with the Speed Governor on). it basicly is a light heavy compared to the other tanks, then it could with the 38 speed upgrade keep up with some mediums behind, not keep up side by side though.

Now if i angle my Type 35º how is the math?
a)100/cos ((60-6)º)/(35º)= 207mm

Noggmoritz, on Aug 31 2012 - 18:31, said: About the answer you gave me, with the developers not wanting another Maus if the E100 had alternate turrets. Well, yes, I suppose a mausturm on the E100 would make it very similar. But to go further, the maus turm would have mounted the 15cm gun "historically", so at least it would be different in that sense.
And your explanation does not cover the reasoning why Wargaming won't develop a Henschel turret for us. I know that this must be annoying to hear, like "gimmie gimmie", but the Henschel turret design on the E100 (whether blue prints of this really existed or not) is the logical next step after the Tiger II and E-75, and plus the vast majority of players across all servers do prefer it. I don't see how this is problematic with the game design at all, but I do understand it's another model needing to be created which isn't exactly highest priority.
Thanks


ARGENTVS, on Aug 31 2012 - 19:25, said: Vallter, i do know how loaders works in a tank, i do know that the Maus has a lot more space that the IS-7, Maus should reload faster, or IS-7 should reload worst than it does today.
Also sovierts used IS2, SU-152 big big cannons against german 75 mm and 88 mm cannons. The fact that russian used those 122 and 152 mm cannons respond to the low quality in russians, they had to use big calibers to reach same range of fire and armor penetration, big a very bad accuracy. Sill Germany ALWAYS had better sight and optics system. You didnt answered that, you must improve our german view range and if you really are seeking historic accuracy.
Do it, improve it, is so easy and you will have a lot of happy players spending in a thing that they dont need making you more rich. Stop being so capricious with german tank we dont want to make em good to play so people dont use em...

All German tanks are slipping or already at the bottom T8 and up, and all we get is repeated answers telling us there will be no meaningful changes, you are happy with German tanks being bad.. Out of 11 T8 heavy tanks, 4502 is 10th place, and you say it is "awesome once mastered"? Is that a serious response or a joke? You listed "speed" as the E50 Ms big advantage? Another joke?
4)E-100 has just different way of playing. Joke? Playing dead? You are happy with the Maus? Good grief.
So why do Germans not get to take advantage of camo nets, crew skills, and the upcoming adaptive camo like other nations? Why is arty specifically designed to counter German armor? How bad do German tanks have to get before they actually get a real buff?
JT - last in tier
JPE - last in tier
E50 M - last in tier
Maus/E-100 low in tier
Working as intended?

lets not put reality in here, theres alot of gaps in the game where reality would mess up the game as it is with tanks that didnt even get off the drawing board. the KV-1S has higher speed, better armor and for the time being better gun(though i heard there is going to be a removal of the 122mm) and the VK 4502 (P) has 38kph. The Tiger (H) recorded speed was 45kph, but it ended up breaking the ending doing that, and that speed would put it as a medium and be too OP for the game, thats why the 38kph speed would be better suited(the 38kph was the speed it could reach with the Speed Governor on). it basicly is a light heavy compared to the other tanks, then it could with the 38 speed upgrade keep up with some mediums behind, not keep up side by side though.

Does anyone at Minsk have the slightest idea how much grief they have caused Oceanic players?  What the hell is the holdup in Minsk announcing its decision?

Ten thousand times NO! Horns are one of the most useless, irritating wastes of time and effort anyone could possibly think of. You know full well the majority of players hate the idea with a passion and their non-release was greated with much rejoicing. Given the many serious problems WoT has how can horns even still be on the agenda?



ROMEU, on Aug 31 2012 - 14:06, said: How  effective armour is calculated?

For example: Type 59.
100/cos (60º)= 200mm

Normalized(Normalization =6º for AP):
100/cos ((60-6)º)= 170mm

Now if i angle my Type 35º how is the math?

a)100/cos ((60-6)º)/(35º)= 207mm

b)100/cos ((60-6)º)/((35-6)º)= 194mm

c)Another?

Thanks.

also having them 4 artys and 5 TDs does not help with us its just terrible . Its not fun its not fair its just sighing your death Warrant.

can you fix this?

Punishing SPG players by reducing earnings is not the best way to fix MM issues.



Noggmoritz, on Aug 31 2012 - 17:31, said: About the answer you gave me, with the developers not wanting another Maus if the E100 had alternate turrets. Well, yes, I suppose a mausturm on the E100 would make it very similar. But to go further, the maus turm would have mounted the 15cm gun "historically", so at least it would be different in that sense.

And your explanation does not cover the reasoning why Wargaming won't develop a Henschel turret for us. I know that this must be annoying to hear, like "gimmie gimmie", but the Henschel turret design on the E100 (whether blue prints of this really existed or not) is the logical next step after the Tiger II and E-75, and plus the vast majority of players across all servers do prefer it. I don't see how this is problematic with the game design at all, but I do understand it's another model needing to be created which isn't exactly highest priority.

Thanks

Also sovierts used IS2, SU-152 big big cannons against german 75 mm and 88 mm cannons. The fact that russian used those 122 and 152 mm cannons respond to the low quality in russians, they had to use big calibers to reach same range of fire and armor penetration, big a very bad accuracy. Sill Germany ALWAYS had better sight and optics system. You didnt answered that, you must improve our german view range and if you really are seeking historic accuracy.

Do it, improve it, is so easy and you will have a lot of happy players spending in a thing that they dont need making you more rich. Stop being so capricious with german tank we dont want to make em good to play so people dont use em...
