PaoSan, on Sep 04 2012 - 19:04, said: On what do you balance vehicle then?
Another question will you ever introduce missiles in this game , By that i dont mean like the ones that we use in 2011( heat, metal,etc) but like strait lines missile ( like when we shoot with a canon but its a missile for light tanks , so that they can have a little more firepower,
Have you ever thought of adding light flares into the game ex: a SPG shoots a flare and it will light up a certain perimeter around the impact point ( but the flares could not be shot from all across the map to prevent a spg spotting the enmie spg ex: the allied spg would have to advance mid map to be able to shoot the flare and try to spot the enemy spg getting him in dangerous spot)
How does the deadeye perk works for the gunner, tried to search wiki but I dont understand the description they make of it. does it boost your pen chances or just the damage you do to modules. On what kind of tank do you suggest to use this perk?
Will you ever do turreted TDs in the other lines? ( Not fully turreted like the american in tier 4-5-6-7) but like maybe the same as the T1104 like a 180 turret
Do you have any plans to make a full medium line for the french tanks
Will there be some links for the french line allowing to pass from Light/med to ht line , ex: amx 50 100 to loraine or the other way.

Vallter: 1)We balance them on a variety of stats. W/L ratio, average XP
in-battle, average damage in-battle, average hits in battle
etc.
2)Well, these misslies... probably, Though still with low possiblities.
3)We do not plan to introduce this since it may damage the in-game balance. Though we will add aerial recon to Clan Wars, when WoWP Clan Wars will be integrated with WoT Clan Wars.
4)It's increases damage dealt to moduls and change to hot them critically.
5)No plans for now There is no plans to implement more of such vehicles in future, though you should not exclude this possibility.
6)Not for the nearest future, we are currently concetrated on the British Tree
7)No, we are sattisfied with the current state of these lines.

Potoroo, on Sep 04 2012 - 15:57, said: PLEASE make this a priority. Until you've played on 250-300 ping
over networks that are never entirely reliable you can have no idea
how essential the client AND server reticle combination is. The 7.4
implementation was awful and only made the game harder to play.
Folterknecht, on Sep 04 2012 - 16:36, said: I m really interested why guys are displaying this kind of paranoia
when it comes to these holy numbers. Could you please forward my
question to someone who is able to answer them?
As a side note - you guys (mods/devs) here in the NA forum are doing a really good job when it comes to communicating with the members here. Would be nice if the guys from Paris could take some lessons.
Timberwolf84, on Sep 04 2012 - 16:58, said: Please re-implement the old server side reticle option for players
if they want to use it. It is very nice to be able to see both the
client and server reticle at the same time. To be honest I think
the blue reticle looks better as well. Is there a petition we can
sign to help this along? There have been several topics in the
suggestion forums on this topic.
1) When calculating penetration using historical values (German vs. Russian tests) are you taking into account the quality of the steel?
2)What are the details on the changes to gold rounds? I am very excited to hear what reductions are planned. It is rather depressing when you angle your tank and bounce everything thrown at you.....until a tank with gold rolls up and penetrates your armor with every shot at long range.
Will the penetration values be lowered a lot? And if they are "nerfed" will the cost stay the same or be reduced?

Vallter: 0)Petition won't help, though we'll discuss it soon
1)Only as a part of armoring values. It's not taken into consideration as in-game mechanics. Though our histrical consultants have taked this into account, while helping us to develop the game.
2)Unfortunately, I'm not able to share the details with you until the release of 8.0. Do not worry, it will be quite soon, so you will receive the information.

Vallter: 'Kill stealing' is only community side issue, We do not consider it
as a rule violation or unsportive behaviour. Moreover, my replies
were not connected with each other-)
You will be able to report people for normal violations - 'botting', 'swearing' etc. after the battle, thus you won't have to waste your time on this in the battle itself.
I hope that this post will fix the misunderstanding caused.

Overlord's likely goal (given his last several posts on the subject) is to try and convince people how unbiased Serb and other devs are. Now is a good time to ask those tough, technical questions about german armor and the like!

Lowecore, on Sep 12 2012 - 18:04, said: I find that hard to believe LF. Lets do a bit of assumed math.
The payouts of all prizes for the current challenge is around 50,000 gold. There are 175 teams of which 5 players will see the field for a total of 875+ players ( total players would be closer to avg 7 players per team = 1225 players ). I myself spend about 1500 gold per tourny to move crews, buy ammo/ consumables, and convert xp for needed tanks etc( that's oner way transfer, it could cost me an additional 1k gold to move them back after). Lets be stingy and say that the average player will spend 1000gold, and lets assume only 1/2 of all players involved will spend this gold for a total gold usage of 1000x437players= 437,000gold.
So by my math, and I think Im being pretty fair 400,000+ gold is spent on each challenge, with payouts of approx 50,000. That's not really near equal. You could chop my estimated amount of players who will spend gold in 1/2, from 437 to just 200, or only 40 5 man teams, and you'd still come up with a gold usage of 4x the total payout.
I'd like to ask how you think 175 teams of 8 players each will only spend 50,000 gold on a 9 round tourny?

lord_farquad: Actually just the 1st place prize is 184,000 gold. There are up to
8 members per team, multiply that by 23k gold per player = 184,000
gold. The total gold payout for just the Post meridiem Challenge is
404,800 gold.... unless the winning team is undefeated in which
case it's 420,800.

The payouts of all prizes for the current challenge is around 50,000 gold. There are 175 teams of which 5 players will see the field for a total of 875+ players ( total players would be closer to avg 7 players per team = 1225 players ). I myself spend about 1500 gold per tourny to move crews, buy ammo/ consumables, and convert xp for needed tanks etc( that's oner way transfer, it could cost me an additional 1k gold to move them back after). Lets be stingy and say that the average player will spend 1000gold, and lets assume only 1/2 of all players involved will spend this gold for a total gold usage of 1000x437players= 437,000gold.
So by my math, and I think Im being pretty fair 400,000+ gold is spent on each challenge, with payouts of approx 50,000. That's not really near equal. You could chop my estimated amount of players who will spend gold in 1/2, from 437 to just 200, or only 40 5 man teams, and you'd still come up with a gold usage of 4x the total payout.
I'd like to ask how you think 175 teams of 8 players each will only spend 50,000 gold on a 9 round tourny?

Actually just the 1st place prize is 184,000 gold. There are up to 8 members per team, multiply that by 23k gold per player = 184,000 gold. The total gold payout for just the Post meridiem Challenge is 404,800 gold.... unless the winning team is undefeated in which case it's 420,800.
