tristan07, on 28 February 2012 - 06:37 PM, said: Actually this is not a problem of contest. It's a problem of rushing team - if they could not stay calm then they deserved to lost. What is percentage of courier's battles survived during contest? I think it's much lower than average (my type 20%) so these "motivated rushing teams" played well (although killing one player doesn't mean good teamplay and wining battle).
So please keep doing this contest and keep giving prizes for saving courier.

deveen23, on 28 February 2012 - 04:34 PM, said: Sure, no problem. Now couple of quick ones:
1. Do you use gold ammo with your Patton?
2. Any plans for adding small details, as has been suggested in the forum section, like gun barrel kill rings for, lets say, every 1000 kills with a tank?

Заодно проблему всунуть можно? Не могу пушку поставить на свой легкий. В ресече отвечает, что тяжело слишком, надо снаперва облегчить. Гусеницы с него поснимать? Больше, вроде, нечего. Стал башню менять, фри экспир сняли, а потом пишут, что нельзя. Башка болеть должна када в нее снаряд шарахает, а не када разбор технических закавык.

Snib, on 28 February 2012 - 03:15 PM, said: Fair point, but since he left out the armor absorption coefficient I figured the /2 part was meant to account for the 2 targets.
Fairly sure the * 1.25 part was for the max. deviation from avg. damage.
OL, clearly clarification is needed.

Snib, on 28 February 2012 - 02:58 PM, said: So you're saying a shell's damage gets split between several targets. While I'm not sure that matches my in-game experience, let me ask another question instead:
How is the damage potential distributed? Is it distributed equally between all targets before further calculations are made (armor absorption, etc.), or is actual damage calculated for one target first and what's left of the damage potential is then applied in additional calculations towards the other targets?
If it's the second case, how are targets prioritized?


DerZivilist, on 28 February 2012 - 03:08 PM, said: Where does he say that the damage gets split?
The /2 part is normal for any HE shell exploding outside the armor of a target (which it would have to, in order to hit multiple targets).


RokRoland, on 28 February 2012 - 03:13 PM, said: I think what he meant was non-penetrating HE round damage gets halved (and boosted by 1.25?), i.e. splash never causes more than 50% of face value shell damage.

So if someone wished to acquire a Type 59 (me) what exactly do you mean by "promotional action", do you mean "Free tank with retail box"? If so is this in the pipeline and can you actually buy a retail box and activate it on an account that is already running?
Thanks again

IsoA, on 28 February 2012 - 10:03 AM, said: Question about the new crew skills:
When the new skills are introduced, will the amount of experience required to increase the skills be decreased? Currently it is almost impossible to develop a crew with all three secondary skills at 100 %. Or not impossible, but it requires A LOT of experience. If you keep the same crew while grinding from tier 1 to 10 at one tank line you will most likely end up with a crew which has 70-95 % on the second secondary skill. And let me tell you its a long long way from 95 % the second skill to 100 % of the third skill.
If the exp requirements were decreased there would actually be more sense in choosing the perks. With the current system you practically must choose a perk skill as the first secondary if you want to take any advantage of it.

Okeano, on 28 February 2012 - 06:45 AM, said: Will there be a better way to retrain your crew after you put them on a new tank? Currently you have to open each crew's personal file and do 3-4 clicks per each one, quite a hassle. Will there be a "retrain all" button of some sort that's similar to the added option of "demounting equipments and send all crew to barrack" feature we got?

NoblePlatoon, on 27 February 2012 - 05:15 PM, said: Overlord,
In the current Crew Skill arrangement, the percentage of competency is spread across the whole tank crew. As an example, in a 5 crew member tank where 4 members are at 100% in camo skills and the other member is at 0%, the overall tank is at 80%. Since many of the new Crew Skills to be released with 7.2 are crew member specific, this type of effect will be a frequent occurrence. Is there any adjustment for this, or will we have to accept that those skills that are applied to all crew members (camo, repair, firefighting) are going to be weakened if we use "too many" of the new skills?

Are there any plans to add some more ranks for the crew? I would like my commander to be a General, not some Captain or Master Leutenant
As the 7.2 version brings more perks and skills, so that we are able to develop the crews even further, maybe its time to increase the ranks as well?

MaximusGR, on 27 February 2012 - 12:30 PM, said: It does get you a Maus though which is FAR superior to the E100.
Overlord can we have a confirmation that the test server for EU community will be translated in English? It would be really confusing to have everything Google-translated ourselves.
Also, would you consider an option to "test" any Premium tank for up to X(10 for example) battles up to which there will be an option to sell it for the full refund of gold? Test servers help with the amount of gold but you cant test more than a few during that time.
Finlly, would it be possible to see how much damage we did to every tank after battle is over?

ZeZergling, on 27 February 2012 - 12:09 PM, said: Overlord, that clearly demonstrates the limitations of only using player performance statistics to balance the game; the VK4502B is clearly underpowered compared to the E-75.
Inferior armor, inferior mobility, same gun; overall it is FAR inferior to the E-75.

Shirer, on 27 February 2012 - 09:47 AM, said: Overlord.
Can you please commission a News or Info piece by the WG team that lays utterly bare the MM rules as they currently are. Alternatively, please blow the conspiracy theory out of the water here yourself! I would like it to cover the following specifically please -
1. Whether recent player WR are used to decide teams.
2. Whether this is a Daily Double affects the MM.
3. Whether the confluence of Venus and Mars together causes Shirer to get TG medals all the time, on my third battle using a tier 5 tank in a high tier game.
4. That the system is tank weight based, drawn from a Queue, making teams matched against a battle tier spread and NOTHING else.
Thanks for your time.

costi, on 27 February 2012 - 01:27 AM, said: How does the visibility mechanic work with regard to shooting? Almost every game, no matter the map, I am repeatedly fired at by invisible attackers, often multiple. The most ridiculous thing was when 3 tanks were shooting at me at a distance of about 250 meters and I never saw any of them, despite taking over 20 hits. Shouldn't shots reveal the firing tank? It's not like we're firing crossbows...
And before you say it: no, tracers don't help, because they are often impossible to see due to the way the game renders bushes, trees and other minor obstacles.
