Otto_matic_Reiffel, on 19 January 2012 - 06:49 AM, said: Hi Overlord
Given the NA server Q&A topic has been unpinned and Vallter hasn't responded in over 2 weeks, is it safe to assume that the NA server will have nobody answering questions again?
If so, do you know if Vallter is going to get a replacement?

FrankyK, on 19 January 2012 - 06:44 AM, said: Since you already know how the Jagdpanzer E-100 will look like and also know its possible configuration, could you please tell us, how the Jagdpanther II will look like, if it has been modelled already:

Will it look similar to the upper or the lower concept? What will be the chassis of the Jagdpanther II: the hull of the E-50 or the hull of the Panther II?
Thanks.

Celestial, on 18 January 2012 - 10:54 PM, said: Overlord, I have some questions:
1. When my T30 is swapped for the T110, is it possible to request the permanent camouflage I have to be moved from T30 to T110?
2. This goes for any future tank swap, when the Panther was swapped for Panther II, I lost all battle count in Panther, meaning that at the moment I don't have the Panther in my statistics. Can it be aquired that this won't happen with T30/T34? I'd hate to loose the battle count on those.

Celestia, on 18 January 2012 - 08:44 PM, said: Concerning the Side armor of the IS-3
>30mm Plate layer covering a portion of the 90mm hull above the tracks
Which is causing allot of shells to penetrate the plate, and bounce on the hull armor
Total armor thickness required to penetrate is ~130mm
Ammunition Used: Regular AP shells: M46 Patton, T34, T30
Range: 0m
(90 degree = perpendicular to the hull, 0 degree = parallel to the hull)
220mm pen at 70 degrees = Failed to penetrate
250mm pen at 60 degrees = Failed to penetrate
270mm pen at 45 degrees = Failed to penetrate
Is the 30mm plate meant to be this effective at causing AP shells to bounce on the hull?

Panocek, on 18 January 2012 - 04:13 PM, said: Just curious, if tank freezing time could be based on amount of high tier (9 and 10) tanks available in clan. Then it could happy both WG in terms of "diversity", and smaller/mid sized clans.
EDIT
Are "field modifications" like boxes, spare tracks visible on King Tiger turret or IS-4 lower plate counted as spaced armour in penetration mechanics?

Snib, on 18 January 2012 - 03:31 PM, said: So you were you saying that the duration that the camo is reduced after the shot depends on the gun? (I am fully aware that the amount the camo is reduced by depends on the gun, that was not the question)
If it is indeed the duration, some rough values like e.g. 1 to 6 seconds would be helpful (it's difficult to test due to spotting system delays).
Thx again.

Souroy, on 18 January 2012 - 02:04 PM, said: - Is there a chance that the B1 and the Lorraine 40t will be able to turn on the spot ? As they could in real life.
- About the ARL 44, will the armour be changed to the real values ?

Hull:
- Upper Front: 120mm @42°
- Lower Front: 50~60mm @42° (where the man is) (both values are indicated)
- Upper sides: 50mm @90°
- "Middle" sides: 60mm @90°
- Lower sides/Skirts: 30~40mm @90° (detail) (both values are indicated)
- Rear: 50mm @??°
Turret (upgraded one ingame):
- Front: 110mm @~83° (Not counting the mantlet !)
- Sides: 30mm @~76°
- Rear: 30mm @~82°
Details about the sides:

- Red: 50mm @90°
- Blue: 60mm @90°
- Green: Skirts - 30~40mm @90°
What could/would happen with the real values:
- If you hit Red: You pierce directly into the crew/engine area, may also damage the suspensions (especially with the proeminent rear wheel).
- If you hit Green: High chance to damage the suspension but unless it hit near the blue zone you'll probably make no damage (as there is only the suspension then nothing/the ground).
If it hit near the blue zone you'll have to pierce the 30/40mm skirt, the suspension and then the 50mm plate before hitting the "body" of the tank.
- If you hit Blue: A shell that pierce directly, or near, the doors will directly go in the crew area for the front door and the engine area for the rear door.
But if you hit the hatched part it seems it would hit another part of the suspension (you can see two small wheels half hidden by the armor plate) then the 50mm thick plate before entering the tank (I'm not entirely sure about that part).
Source of the numbers: Official technical instructions.
Hull: Pages 7 & 11 / Turret: Pages 7 & 9.
Thanks.

Xaxaos, on 18 January 2012 - 12:28 PM, said: Overlord.
Here is only one reason to be owner of X tier. That reason is: play with clan in clan wars. Now, look on CW' teams. There arent any X french, only a few maus and e100, and so many IS7. Why ?! Cuz clans need medium-fast heavy tanks with very good front armor with high power gun! Devs gives only one tank X tier with that value: IS-7.
T30 is welcome in CW cuz is fast and has good power gun. When devs change it to T110 which will be similar to E100 with worse gun, they remove many players (spent so many hours to get usa X) from CW. USA's tanks players : wellcome in Random battle only with T110.
This is how i feel about this new tank and changes in usa tech tree. It looks very painfull for me, cuz i am owner only usa X tier, and i play only cuz i can play CW. Rest is boring.
Q: What is your opinion about that understanding ?
Q: Do you see that is something wrong about balance's X tiers in CV, cuz IS-7 is mainly forces on CW ?

1. I'm curious about your oppinion about this battle setup, work as intended?:

2. Since credit earning starts to be difficult, we can expect even higher premium tanks activity - so whats WG plan to avoid world of premium tanks?
3. Easy mode MM for premium tanks - do you think those two guys in types in right team really feel like having easier MM?

Why does it say in that advert about patch 7.0 bring clan logos... I havent seen any at all.
oh and can you tell me why my name is blue in my garage?
I had a game in a LTraktor for fun not profit, did a bit of TKing and got myself blue, now when I play my tier 5 tanks Im not blue but the name in the garage is blue... I sold the LTraktor, do I need to do damage in a LTraktor to restore the friendly/enemy damage balance?

Fraeggsau, on 17 January 2012 - 11:41 PM, said: Sorry to follow up on that, but could you be a little more precise? Does this mean a. WG will keep the current spreads no matter what, or b. WG is open to all possible ways to improve the Matchmaking, altough decreasing the spread is not on top of the list at the moment, or c. A small decrease of spreads (-1 Tier for most vehicles) is planned / possible, but 2 across the board is to much?
Really, I highly anticipate the new matchmaker, and would love to hear more of were its going. As long as its hard to get a Tier 4 or 6 Company battle up and going for a quick 5 minute game, I will rely mostly on randoms to get my WoT fix, so this systems makes or brakes my games.

NateBlack, on 17 January 2012 - 09:23 PM, said: Overlord
Is it possible to give the T110 two different turrets choices like the E-100 has 2 different guns? Because I'd like to think I've seen two different turret-setup pictures posted a while back. One of them did not have obvious frontal weakspots, but seems you've gone with the one that can be penetrated easily by most tier 7 tanks.
Or is the commanders cupola being modeled in the same way as IS-7 to be non-damage type and only give destroyed optics? If not, care to elaborate more on how the T110 is supposed to competitative with IS-7 in CW? Or is that to be deciced in testing later on?

A bit odd questions about Jagdpanzer E-100:
Q1) What will be it's approximate weight and speed?
Q2) Will it have:
I) Maybach HL 295 Ausf. A engine or
II) Some underpowered engine or
III) Same engine as Maybach HL 295 but with different name (eg. Maybach HL 295 Ausf. C) so we will have to waste 50k exp for researching it.

Ну и что с того? Это не повод превращать коммуну в ракофорум, теперь уже по полной программе. Например, флэшмоб постами "всем по@у@", это было бы стильно. Или просто игнор. Но доказывать, что 96% в рандоме - хреновый результат, это как-то слишком по чмошному, мелкая злобная зависть так и прёт. Попытались предъявить ему, что он хикки, когда в ответ им показали вполне достойные результаты ИРЛ, взыли ещё безобразнее. СмИшно было с первого места в Караганде, понимашь ли. Повторяю, я тут не никлемоса защищаю, он у меня вообще никаких эмоций не вызывает, ни ненависти, ни восхищения. Я тут наше достоинство защищаю. Ну и своё тоже. Мне тошно было бы осознавать, что я мог, имел право и возможности вмешаться, но не вмешался.
