zuegma, on 15 February 2012 - 02:50 PM, said: What patch are the new game modes planned for? Not asking for dates or anything but these modes have been on the cards for while now and keep getting pushed back and quite frankly I think new game modes are more important than new tanks in adding variety, even if it meant some revisions being pushed back (while it may annoy me and others in the short term we've essentially had the same game mode for nearly a year since 'release')

funny part is it doesn't effect everyone.
I have the problem to an extreem extend.
my brother over in england has it but in a lesser extend
a few of my friends hardly ever have it and were in the same match.
seems like server just randomly drops people actually had it crash my router.
checked with the ISP nothing was wrong (and they are honest cause i allready screwt them over for not beeing honest ones)
checked my router itself ntohing wrong with it.
all other stuff works great only wot does this.
At first i thought it was something wrong on my side so i checked everything and there was nothing wrong (i play WoT 90% of the time if i play anything atm) but then i notest that it never happened when playing CSS, BF3, RO2 and stuff so that kind of narrows it down to WoT beeing a problem.

Listy, on 15 February 2012 - 01:34 PM, said: Out standing! That one is on my "severely disliked" list.
Again I Have to support Marko here. The IS-7 needs some fixing. When one can just drive straight up to you through ah ail of point blank Jagdtiger fire, without taking a scratch. I know you can kill them when you flank them, but good luck out manoeuvring the fastest T10 heavy in the game (one that can almost keep up with a Patton.)
1)Earlier you said that the Driver was bugged and would absorb shells. Does the team have an idea what's causing the bug?
2) On a separate question. You often mention the Win ratio. I've noticed several games were the team has won, despite having a crappy tank or two. Surely this reliance on the Win ratio, not another measure of performance, such as Avg EXP is a danger of camouflaging a crappy tank?
I only ask because last night we had a couple of games were my team had better across the board performance, and it would have slewed the Win ratio on tanks that have weakness or strengths.
One example, the enemy had an IS-7, and he slaughtered our flank, meanwhile we caved in the otehr flank and caped. Or later on My Patton couldn't hit a city if he was parked in its centre. However my team mates elsewhere just murdered everything.
Or do you look at all stats routinely?
3) This is the unrelated one that I'd really like answered.
This game is heading towards its second birthday shortly. Are there any plans to take a step back and look at the whole game and check for Power creep, and rebalance everything? I know from previous experience when you add something new and cool the boundaries can shift slightly, each time. So that when you come up with a product much later on its vastly more capable than the earlier one.
Example:
A prime example would be the TD tree. Shortly the armour levels (Or better) of the Jagdtiger will be common on T8. While Better armour will be available on TD's at the same level, with better guns. Before hand the Jagdtigers "thing" was good Armour. After the next patch it will be one of the more pointless of all the TD's, and better suited to T8. If need be I can expand on this point and explain in more detail.

molan1976, on 15 February 2012 - 01:01 PM, said: Is is possible and if so, is it considered to have more frequent but smaller patches/updates?
PS: I am aware that some things comes in bundles, like tect tree and such, however many smaller thing might be done independently - but don't knows if it's possible in that way WOT is coded. C++ as a Object Orientated Language certainly gives you the possibility if it's codes that way. Depends on code modularity of cause, another issue is testing and balancing.

marko4231, on 15 February 2012 - 10:52 AM, said: Hi, me again [OL rolls his eyes ]
A couple simple questions : i was visiting my friend the other day who also plays WOT and he let me try his IS-7.
It was the first time i have ever played IS-7 and i went into training room with some of my friends.
I took on Maus 1 on 1 with IS-7, i won and stil had over 50% left.
I took on E100 1 on 1 and (naturaly) won, had some 75% left.
So i wonder how exactly is IS7 balanced compared to other T10 tanks??
I never liked atacking it with any of my tanks and i have 3 tier10s. But now that i have played it it seems like a darn god-mode tank?
Working as intended?

Snib, on 15 February 2012 - 12:39 PM, said: Thank you! Given that, do you still stand by this previous statement?
The question is whether it's a hard limit as you implied, i.e. whether shells cannot land further away from the aim than 1.5 x dispersion radius, or whether with 3 sigma = 99.73% probability we do have a 0.27% chance of shots landing outside of the circle?

Question is, WHO create and develop this (WoT) game, as supposed "developers" don't know about product they create. Or its FFA development
Second Q: you (Overlord that is) claim that there are no hidden nerfs/buffs, yet there is no mention in 0.7.0 changelog about disabling optic stacking. So be more specific, please.
Or WoT is some self-evolving Skynet thingy. And devteam just enjoy popcorn and lookout for some nukes

Snib, on 14 February 2012 - 03:26 PM, said: OL, did you miss this one or did you choose not to answer:
If that is true, would you mind taking a look a the tests we did here: http://forum.worldof...ost__p__1392419
We found the aiming circle to be bigger by a 2.5 factor when comparing to the known size of a tank. So if now you say that the ingame value is max dispersion at 100m, and you previously said that shots are normally distributed within the aiming circle, the only explanation that's is left is that tank models are 2.5 smaller in game than they were in real life. Can you confirm that?
PS: The solution we had originally gone with was that the dispersion value shown in game equals 1 standard deviation, while the aiming circle is set at 2.5 standard deviations. I had put the question to you before based on that thread, but you had basically skipped it (your answer is reposted in the linked thread).

I really enjoy this thread, and read it daily, but it is becoming increasingly hard to find the bare Q&A stuff. There are simply too many members replying to each others posts, and engaging in discussions.
I know it means more work, but once a Q is answered (With a quote of the Q) could a moderator (Or you if time permits) simply delete the original Q. As well as deleting any posts that are not a Q, or is not replied to for whatever reason. That way we would end up with only Q&A's, making it much more accessible for readers.

carvillan, on 14 February 2012 - 10:05 AM, said: Overlord,
Will the E100 Stug get the long 15cm gun?
IMO I think it will need it otherwise it will have exactly the same problems as E100 but with less HP. Surely it's alpha and penetration could be set the same as the BL10 on Object 704 which would then show some 'BALANCE'.
