Can you provide a link to the answers on German penetration values? I would like to see the reasoning behind using the German 30 degree tests results as 0 degree data.
2) Well this is based off all the posts on the forums that show the E-100, and Jg Pz E 100 at the bottom of win % almost every time. Lots of posts in different threads, but they show the E 100 and Jg Pz E 100 falling behind the other tier 10s.


M18HellCat, on Sep 18 2012 - 17:22, said: Vallter, why was the M48A1 nerfed so heavily?


Eliminateur, on Sep 18 2012 - 17:50, said: Vallter, regarding the T110e3:
2)Speed and traverse speed. Also the 155mm gun will probably receive some changes (accuracy decrease and aiming time change)
i understand the nerf to the E4 because it's a supertank with no drawbacks now, but the E3?, now it has the same reload as the T95 in test2 which makes it extremely useless as you can't follow a shot ever without targets dissapearing, and acc decrease?, finally when a US TD gets decent accuracy (TDs should have the best accuracy as they're stable gun platforms, yet why is that patton and patton2 have best acc?, something's wrong there...) it gets thrown into the "T95 zone" of accuracy where the gun rarely hits what you aim at

However, Vallter, while some modules on the Pershing have had costs adjusted, the M46 research cost hasn't changed? Is that correct?

vect, on Sep 19 2012 - 22:28, said: The main issue I had with that whole situation was that the "rule" they used was not included in the rules they handed us the night before the tournament started (which is in my opinion is far too late to be handing out rules in the first place, but that is another issue altogether). I think that almost everyone from the NA servers had a great time in Moscow in spite of the last-minute travel arrangements, "interesting" food, and the less-than-ideal-but-not-completely-terrible tournament. I for one loved getting to meet and hang out with everyone from W-A-R, -G-, ACES, WGA, the EU and RU servers, and my clanmates from RS as well as seeing the Kubinka. I also did enjoy playing in the tournament. Most of our opponents were very gracious in victory or defeat. I remember the guys from OM - Whitebeard coming up after our matches, complementing us on our use of the JP2 (we were the only ones to use a TD at any point during the tournament afaik) and how close our matches were.
I believe that the NA teams had the ability to compete with the best (as demonstrated by -G- beating RED Rush once and us beating Z-Gra once), but the chances of us actually winning the whole tournament were rather low. The main reason (i.e. our main disadvantage) for this in my opinion is due to the lack of experience at what I would call "e-sports level" tournament play in an e-sports setting. I can't speak for certain about any of the other players, but I know I've never played at a big tournament like this before and I would guess from meeting the other players that almost all of them would be in the same boat. I brought my own mouse (and I would have brought my own headset if it wasn't busted) because they said we could. I don't remember hearing anything about being able to bring a keyboard, but that could be me mis-remembering.
As far as mods went, Farquad told me that the German team (aka not the Russians) installed the zoom-out mod on every computer that they used, so everyone who used those computers afterwards just happened to have it on there already. Most people saw the zoom-out mod used on the main stage computers and some people assumed that the Russians installed it, but I did not see either team install the mods, so I can't say for sure.
Other teams (Chinese I believe) definitely brought their own chairs, I personally did not see any monitors or computers being brought in to the competition at any point (I did see RED bringing out the computers that they won though).
P.S. glad you made it home Farva
P.P.S. Very glad to hear that there might be more stuff like this for the NA server

Hirumaru, on Sep 17 2012 - 04:23, said: My question regarding Clan Wars and balance metrics:
Do you track usage and stats for tanks used in Clan Wars? If so, how does tank usage and how do all of their respective win rates, etc. compare to their stats compare to random battles?
One can argue that the ultimate argument for balance is the usefulness of a tank in Clan Wars. That is, if it isn't used in Clan Wars, it isn't balanced well enough. Even with the number of maps and the multitude of clans out there, you rarely see certain vehicles even after hundreds of battles. Even so, they rarely prevail.
How do clan wars stats compare to the random battle stats?

While you're nerfing the T110E4 significantly to drop its win rate by about the same amount the JgPzE100 should be buffed (3~4%) to reach 268 levels, then why is there such a massive disparity between the changes being made to these tanks?

WarStore, on Sep 18 2012 - 08:27, said: Dear devs,
final stage of public test for v.8.0 is near, and we did not hear anything about meaningful buffs for Jpz-E100.
The patch was once again tested with lots of gold flying around.
-How did the JpzE100 perform during tests? How would you compare this test to 7.5 test #1? Remember that during 7.5 test#1, devs considered it to be overperforming, nerfed the hell out of it, and you know well the results after the patch went live.
-Do you think those small "buffs" will get this tank out of the bottom?
-Can we expect some changes for the most unreliable gun in the game to reach the final release of the patch? And if not, how much longer should we wait for the real buffs, or should I just sell it?

This shows a very poor level of coordination and forethought in decisions being made and I am very disappointed. This is setting a precedent which I hope is not allowed to repeat in the future.
You're not only cheating your own player base but undermining your ability to maintain a sportsmanlike atmosphere by allowing teams a rematch for a glitch when in the following post you said might repeat itself? If map side is truly so important in results then shouldn't all tournaments be double elimination or have a random map side start location to prevent bracket seeding from giving a team a significant advantaging starting on one side or another?
