Quote - Will we be able to reset the crew skills for free, when new ones appear? Or will it be possible for gold only?
After adding new skills, it will be possible to reset the crew skills for free.


Quote in the "in development" section :
Tanker skills reset option acquired for Gold:
Due to the fact that new crew skills will be implemented into the game soon, players will be able to reset any amount of already explored skills for Gold. The free "training points" of the resetted skill can be spent on training of any other skill.

I thought these: M48 Patton, Leopard I, T-55 or T-62

I know these stats are unofficial, but there is some validity to their numbers. Looking at the numbers, the T34 is only beaten by the T14 for the worst performing (in terms of win percentage) tank in the game. It sits at a terrible 46.99%, where the rest of the tier 9 heavies sit at a comfortable 48% or more. Are there other stats that show that the T34 is actually competitive (average experience, credits earned, survivability...)? I find it hard to believe that the T34 is in no need of a buff, having the hull of a heavy two tiers below it and a gun that only beats its competition with rate of fire (read: damage per minute). True, there are other stats that really help out the T34 (gun depression, dispersion on the move, etc...), but those stats don't help a heavy as much as they do a medium (looks at Patton).
So, long story short: The T34 absolutely, positively needs to be replaced or buffed as soon as possible. This is evidenced by these unofficial stats. Will we see either of these happening in 7.0, or will those with this tank continue to be subject to a sub-par tank while we wait even longer for it to be replaced / buffed?

In the latest You ask We reply, they mentioned considering T10 SPG'S and Mediums.
Can you check if they meant TD'S and Mediums pls or did they mean T10 Arty? If so i'll remove the poll.

Quote "7.0 will also introduce new battle modes, such as Garage Battle, which will let each player in a standard 15-versus-15 match choose five different tanks based on certain criteria (such as point value) and then go into battle; if shot down, players will then respawn as the next tank in their remaining four until they run out of tanks and the game is over. Other modes include Assault (a team-based mode that puts one team on the attack and one on the defense); Encounter mode, a king-of-the-hill-like mode that requires each team to try to capture and hold a central point on the map; and Escort, a mode that requires one team to safely escort a computer-controlled VIP vehicle while the opposing team does its best to destroy it.

On the new article from today I found this:
I didn't find this mentioned in the
what to expect from patch 7.0 thread.
Was it added lately?
Is it really planned for this update or is it for a later patch?

this way they can be used, but it;s not so annoying when someone is bored and spams.

Additionally, please keep in mind, that not all people are equal, some might have problems with hearing or be very sensitive for noises.
(please check Train-Toy in World of Warcraft and ways it was used to abuse other people and learn from other games too).
Are you aware that abuse prevention is not which you are good at?
