ZorinWarfield, on 02 January 2012 - 06:22 PM, said: Will the map designers start to build maps that have realistic elevation levels? Especially the new French tanks with the oscillating turrets have major disadvantages on the numerous maps with exaggerated elevation levels (Westfield etc.), being unable to fire back at enemies shooting down from bridges, cliffs and ridges.
The turrets are realistic, your landscape modelling on the other hand is pure fantasy and should be binned asap, especially with the forthcoming physics. Otherwise I don't see how you will justify heavy tanks roll up and down the massively angled slopes on most maps.

ares354, on 02 January 2012 - 06:04 PM, said: Dear Overlord
You mention historic reasons for T-95 Buff, but why are nearly all german tanks far too slow.
1 Question, Why German vehicles have wrong speed and armour??
Tiger II 38km/h (real) vs. 28 km/h (wot)?
Tiger I 38 km/h (real) vs. 34 km/h (wot)?
Panzer II 55 km/h (real) vs. 40 km/h (wot)?
JT 38km/h (real) vs. 27km/h (Wot)? Armour - hull 150, 40, lower hull 100, 40 ?? values ??
Mause - dawn hull should have 300 mm armour, http://forum.worldof...and-schematics/ -> post 19. Why Mause dont have this armour tickness values ??
on the other hand:
1 Why Soviet tanks have no historic spped and armour ??
KV-13 51 km/h (real) vs. 60 km/h (wot)?
T-28 37 km/h (real) vs. 45 km/h (wot)?
t-54 - have 99 armour on front hull - look - >Armour 203 mm turret, 99 mm hull, LOS = ~200 mm?? Why armour is incorrect ?? - I have this information from Site, where t54 is described
Overlord, you mention that you stick historic reason, so pleas, tell US all, WHY German tanks, TD don't have historic Speed and Armour ETC ??
Last Question, Why tanks with 2 loaders, dont reload GUN faster?????

Жаль, что у меня нет игровой статистики, но уверен, после патча, арта стала намного меньше наносить дамага не только из-за изменений в уроне, но и из-за изменения тактики боя. Все эти переплёвывания по трассам... Есть в этом что-то порочно-неправильное. Искусственное. Как будто в игру ввели баг, пытаясь из него сделать фичу.

То есть людей до 100 или до 500. НЕ принимать к участию в конкурсе. Из-за слишком больших статистических погрешностей.
В принципе у человека со 100-200 боями формула эта (с поправкой) уже работает очень хорошо.

OR
M103 will keep two loaders but one of them will have secondary skill e.g. gunner-loader

KuroNyra, on 02 January 2012 - 10:11 AM, said: The 8.8 KwK L71 and the 8.8 PaK L71 have seen the ratio of damage done at 240 at the 7.0.
The problem is that this two gun's are using the same shell of the L56 version for TD and Tank who are still at 220 instead of 240(PaK for TD and KwK for Tank)
Sow why the damaged done is different?
This isn't logical. The shell are the same, the only difference is the penetration. And we all know that for exemple that the Jadgpanzer IV is underpowerful vs the Slugger/Jackson and the SU-100.
For a lot of player's, the non increased for the L56 isn't fair.
Are you going to fix that problem?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Now the Stug III got the same armor of the Jadgpanzer IV who got the same armor of the Jadgpanther. Will you buff the armor of the Jadgpanther in another patch?
80mm. Even M4 Sherman and Panze IV laugh't of the Jadgpanther. And the quantity of HP for the Jadgpnther isn't enought for balance that. Unlike the Panzer VI Tiger

I would like to clarify that. Module setup, crew and research setup will be moved with KV-3 to tier 7, but accumulated experience will stay at tier 6? Why? We don't need experience at already researched tank.
That makes me a sad panda

maszerk, on 01 January 2012 - 10:39 PM, said: Overlord, regarding to your above post (#1459) about IS-7, I want to ask you those questions:
Q1: The huge commander's hatch of the T110 is still a weakspot of the tank, or "has been strenghtened"?
Q2: And you guys in WG thinking about changing/replacing the "R2D2" commander's hatch and/or the turret of the T110?
And if both answer is NO, I want to ask one more question, with all respect:
If the IS-7 didn't have any frontal weakspots, why has the T110 one(?) on the "easiest-to-hit" part?
Answer me please.
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand it.

FrankyK, on 01 January 2012 - 10:06 PM, said: Ok, according to balance considerations, the IS-7 is meant to have a strong frontal armor with no noteworthy weakspots and therefore, as a compensation for its epic frontal armor and good speed, the sides and rear armor are meant to be quite weak - in theory. But in the game, the IS-7 still bounces lots of shots with Tier X guns at its side, giving the IS-7 very tough side-armor, too. It's sometimes even harder to damage an IS-7 from it's side than a Maus. Well, is this actually interned and do you still think about reworking the normalisation nerf of 0.7.0, which actually caused these balance problems?
Thanks.

KuroNyra, on 01 January 2012 - 09:16 PM, said: I've recently heard that some new premium will come on a future patch.
The T34 premium, the IS-6, and the Jadgitger.
Is the IS-6 will be a damage dealer, or something else? Could you answer that.
And are you going to modify the armor of the Jagdtiger Premium? Is front armor look too resistant for a tier 8. Are you going to balance that with a weak gun or speed?
Another question: Overlord, have you an approximative date for the release of the 7.1? In one or two week? Or are you keeping the secret?

FrostDX, on 01 January 2012 - 05:26 PM, said: Sorry to repeat already asked question/discuss developers answer, but I think you were wrong about it - he isn't an exception, and to prove my theory that people actually like you I've made a pool about it:
http://forum.worldof...77#entry1244777
But to sum it up:
>60% people have positive opinion of you, while only about 10% have negative opinion, the rest is neutral.
>80% people miss your blog, while only 2,5% of them admitted that they miss you so that then can ask stupid questions, troll etc.
- rating your blog from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), almost 40% votes went to "5" and ~35% went to "4" ("1"&"3" had about 10% each, while "2" had less than 5%)
So all in all, you weren't doing a bad job at all, and people actually liked it, but those who are unhappy about something are always louder than those who are happy/content.

Tyria, on 01 January 2012 - 01:05 PM, said: Thx. In that case it might be a simple coincidence that T5 light tanks get in much lower T battles than before.
Do you log the average tier of tanks in battles and make statistics about it
- per tank like T50-2
- per class like T5 light tank
or do you only calculate the win/loss ratio for a tank and then eventually adjust the tank?
