Orkel2, on 08 December 2011 - 02:59 PM, said: Q: With the new HE mechanics, will the shell do full damage (let's say 910dmg of the KV-152) if the shell upon impact has a LoS to weak armor, let's say it hits a thickly armored turret with thin top hull armor right beneath it.
Does the HE shell have to penetrate at the impact point for full damage, or does it just have to have LoS to a spot (like the top hull under the impact point) which is less than the shell's average pen?

At another place it was said that its just possible to switch between the clusters, like EU1/EU2.

Panther and Panther II get all sort of ammo rack hits from crazy angles. I had seen no other tank (except T-44) so prone to ammo rack hits....
So what is the purpose of reducing ammo rack hit points....

Jesterhead, on 08 December 2011 - 10:46 AM, said: Could you clarify the "spaced armour" mechanics. Do they offer effective protection against AP(CR) shells measured in mm or is it literally like the quote above, meaning that no matter what AP value is - when you hit the spaced armour your shell does 0 damage?

Xivilai, on 08 December 2011 - 10:26 AM, said: When will WG repair what they have failed to do properly ?
In game most players dont use tactics of any kind, because to them game comes down to that who shots who first and who has most HP.
Will WG fix armors of Konigstiger, Tiger, Panther, JagdPanther, JagdTiger, IS-3 for example, so that people must use tactics to destroy them instead random shots... ?
And what are WG going to do with that inverse angled shots at lower plates of tanks, it is against logic and physics ?

Oculistus, on 08 December 2011 - 02:38 AM, said: Hi
Whats the point of having beta tests of patch 7.0 running if you releasing 7.0 patch on russian server before beta ends? Whats the purpose of testing something which is already released?
For me, EU server suffers a month (or two, dont remember when that patch should be finished in first place) of delay because of feature which doesnt change anything on our server since we got way lower amount of users, and in exchange of that we are getting... nothing! even release of 7.0 patch on our server is later, just like allways. Not even pointing stuff that should be in that patch but it isnt, because all of man power was moved to russian multicluster feature!. Dont you think that EU/USA players deserve something in return?
Dont you think that small numbers on EU and USA servers may be linked with how you treat players there? forcing them to wait for patches longer, or allowing RU clans to be moved to EU servers but not the other way?
Yes i know that EU server got more languages, but since you are willing to spend soo much time on single feature irrelevant to EU or USA servers (multi cluster tech allowing to play more than 250k people on single server), why you never cant finish simple translation correction on time?
Last thing, dont you think its immature to advertise something first, then delaying it many times to point where people are waiting for it twice as long, just to give them half of product they suppose to have according to your original announcements?

Rotating turret, fast rate of fire and able to oneshot every tank it meets causes it. When are you going to nerf it? It's absolutely ridiculous. Or stop putting it in tier 3 battles.

Dr_Nooooo, on 07 December 2011 - 07:17 PM, said: Q1 : On the newest testserver version the Tiger I (Henschel) now has 100/82/82 hull and upgraded-turret armor instead of the 100/80/80 it has on 0.6.7 . However this change isn't listed in the patchnotes. Is this one of the wrong displayed armor values we had in earlier testpatch versions (like american heavy tanks turret values) or are you planning to increase Tiger I (H)'s side and rear armor? And what is the reason to perform such a change, is the Tiger (H) underperforming compared to its brother, the Tiger (P)?
Q2 : The TD version of the 8,8cm L/71 , the PaK43, also has 240 Damage per shot now, however it RoF remained at 12,5 and wasn't lowered, is this intended to buff the Jagdpanther/Ferdinand or is it a mistake?

Dark_Cartographer, on 07 December 2011 - 07:00 PM, said: Hi,
I was wondering how you plan on compensating arty players in 7.0. for arty unfriendly maps. Maps like Ensk, Himmelsdorf and Mountain Pass are very bad for arty players already, with most high tier players losing credits or at best barely breaking even on them. Now that arty is receiving a credit nerf pretty much across the board these games will be far worse for all arty players, making them a 99% chance of losing credits. This issue was already a sore point for most arty players, now we are being punished and dare I say it, discriminated, even further. There is no tank/td unfriendly map, all maps give tanks and TDs are fair chance at making credits, but that cannot be said for arty.
Thanks

xack, on 07 December 2011 - 06:41 PM, said: Considering MM, maybe it would be possible to implement future like "Random garage tanks", where you coul'd mark your favorite tanks, which you woul'd be willing to play and MM woul'd keep tham (in memory?).
With more tier spread from your garage MM coul'd fill in missing tier gaps and make perfect matches. And player which woul'd use that future coul'd get some reward (extra 5%-10% credit?). For example you pick SPG TD and Heavy, but at the moment to many SPG's in quate so MM would pick your TD for a while and would solve matches when sometimes there are 10 SPG's and sometimes none.
Well basicaly you would give more choice for MM just you woul'd never know what you gonna play, but you know you will be rewarded for that, also it would involve some random exitment.
I think that coul'd fix a lot.
Sorry for text of wall and my bad english skills.

If you want HE damage in the 7.0 you have to aim for weakspots, which makes HE useless on tanks.

In every language except german the tank is still named "IS-3":
