If I were to buy the heavy package and go into the game and hit "Research" button on the premium tank that included will I be able to upgrade to the next tier tank with it or is it a standalone tank excluded from the tech tree?
Thanks!

Stubentiger, on 25 March 2011 - 04:03 PM, said: Thus, please answer the following questions:
1. Is it true that with Premium Ammo, there is no loss in penetration if you shoot a target far away (= no distance penalty)?
2. Has it already been decided how many credits do we get if we sell the pre-order tanks in-game? If so, how much will we get?
3. Where can I see the matchmaking table of the Pz V/IV? The tank is not shown here:

Thanks.

If you need an one to another language translation it is ok but if you want to create a game atmosphere for the players it is not!
It looks like google translation job or some dictionary translation.Whatever we should work on it but i need to know when we should give you a feedback about that jobs?
I want to learn the exact deadline for us.

Darwyn, on 25 March 2011 - 03:11 PM, said: Quote from Overlords Blog:
Exchange rate:
1 GBP = 1,1369 EUR
6.95 GBP = 7,9015 EUR
1 EUR = 0,8789 GBP
9,95 EUR = 8,7447 GBP
Example for low end prices: (for comparison I calculated all values in EUR)
1 EUR = 215 Gold (for EUR)
If you pay in EUR: 500 Gold cost: (1 / 215) * 500 = 2,3256 EUR
0,8789 EUR = 303 Gold (for GBP)
If you pay in GBP: 500Gold cost (0,8789 / 303) * 500 = 1,4648 EUR (GBP in EUR for comparison)
1,4648 are 62,986% of 2,3256
and 2,3256 are 158,765% of 1,4648
So why all other European Citzizens have to pay 158% of the price you pay in Great Britain?

Wolfgang_Kruger, on 25 March 2011 - 10:05 AM, said: what i wonder is if the E-series given time will have more equipment.
gun, radio, suspension, turret, and special gear?.
also which countries is where the VAT will make the pre orders the most expensive?.
from my country it lands on 25%


cedars, on 25 March 2011 - 02:07 PM, said: Our clan 'Shiny Division' enjoys playing companies every day.
To make it more interesting we like to try new tactics, have different people leading and try different line ups.
What we have found is that the 30 seconds or less that you have organise the team when the game is loading is too short.
You have less than 30 seconds to assess your opponents line up, the map, and to give detailed instructions sometimes to as many as 14 people.
Now to my mind 1 minute or 1 minute 30 seconds before a company battle starts is not too lomg. I mean 90 seconds if you have nothing to do can easilly be passed
And 90 seconds is enough to make leading companies that much less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.
So my question is will WoT consider making a 90 second delay for company battles before the battle starts?

waylander1, on 25 March 2011 - 06:04 PM, said: On the 9th of March i asked if you had any plans to give out a promotion code that could be used at a later date with say a 2 month time limit to allow people to buy gold at a discount. Your reply was
'Think, our guys will do their best to please the majority.'
Given the feedback from the Pre orders both good bad and indifferent regarding the price do you have any plans for this. This would also allow players who are holding off buying gold to see how the new patch works out and would be a good bit of PR on the games part ?
'waylander1, on 09 March 2011 - 10:48 PM, said:
could the beta testers not get given a code they can use at a later date, this would be easy to do as you just e.mail it to their account. This could be given a 2 month time limit to be used by.
Vehicle goes for free, it's a kind of bonus, one can't refuse from. Premium TDs are planned for future, possible premium SPGs are under consideration. Think, our guys will do their best to please the majority.'

Hamynelypham, on 25 March 2011 - 05:28 PM, said: It's more of a request than a question. Overlord, could you please explain the "critical damage" mechanics, if there's one in this game? I've been trying to figure it out for some time and would love if you could explain it. I noticed that sometimes a 1 shot (I'm sure I wasn't hit by any other tank, just 1 shot from a one tank) can inflict a damage that's just impossible to achieve with the tanks gun. It mostly happens when my engine gets damaged and I'm pretty sure that it's either some sort of fire that gets put off instantly without consuming fire extinguisher and causes a lot of damage, more than a "standard" fire (and the game doesn't inform you about your tank burning inside) or when you get your engine damaged, there's a chance to receive bonus damage to the tank. I would love to know a little bit more about this.

Fimp3n, on 25 March 2011 - 01:53 AM, said: Overlord, in Sweden medals that can be awarded in different classes are ranked from "First grade" and up. This means that achieving the III Class of a medal in the game would be equal to recieving the "Second grade" in Sweden. Do we have permission to change the translation like this?
There are also many wordings that make me doubt that those who translated this are native Swedish-speakers. In short it sounds strange to a native Swedish-speaker. Do we have permission to change those wordings into proper Swedish, or do you really just want us to proof-read?

Shure, the tanks have some interesting points. The heavy has an insane front armor, the medium a nice chassies, but why combine these with such downsides?

Don't see anything special in those tanks though.
And the fact that you pay a large amount of money at once is a turn off for many.
But the regular prices are not very clear.
Can you post package prices please?
And i wanna know the prices of the premium vehicles included in the packages.

Plex1337, on 25 March 2011 - 12:30 PM, said: Okay. I understand but i think this special Pre-Order tanks should be a real threat against normal tanks in their Tier and not only for farming.
I've noticed with my T14, that nearly every second game im one of the best Tanks in game, shown on the left Bar with name tank pic...
I think this should be set to the pre-orders to.
In Tier 7 M6A2E1 will be a real threat
In Tier 8 it will be a meal...


Quote I ordered the heavy package yesterday night but I didn't recieve a promo code. Only an Auto Response mail from UltimatePay saying payment succeeded.
Or is the Transaction ID the Promo code?
Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately can`t hope to get premium every month so i`m looking at the small package and hope that will last me enough to play for free afterwards it runs out afterwards.
And about the gift vehicles do those come with a slot of its own?or will it occupy the slot free slot thats included.

Allitair, on 24 March 2011 - 11:24 PM, said: Sorry OVERLORD but you have avoided the question. I was asking why your company made the decision to charge a subscription fee (10% more than i thought before) which is now very similar to the cost off a fully fledged mmorpg. Stop mentioning about it being free ive seen the 100other dev answers being repeated over and over. Your all missing the point. To play competitively you pretty much need premium, i like competitive so that's what i would want.
I just don't for the life of me understand why for a small company(has Wargaming done other things?)chosen to charge full price for an unfinished game. I just don't understand is all, personally i think it is a bad marketing idea for a small business with a new game, while heavily unfinished to charge full price.
My point is i don;t think u are considering the huge boost of player numbers (of which i am sure 70% would be happy to pay) a cheaper price.

mikeavatar, on 24 March 2011 - 11:00 PM, said: Can somebody please answer to this?
I'm wondering about the pricing for gold after release not being known yet. For the current discount of 10% to remain valid after release, the price of gold after 12.04 must be above 8,25 Euros / 2500 Gold (7.5 Euro + 10%). Otherwise, if gold could be bought after release with less, the preorder discount becomes less than 10%, and it falls under the false advertising law, leaving the possibility for the preordering customers to take legal action against the company. It would be best to announce now the price for gold after release, that way everybody knows what they are paying for now.
Posted it some pages back, but still no answer.

Allitair, on 24 March 2011 - 10:57 PM, said: As OVERLORD seems to be looking at this i will ask this question aswell.
Provided of the 100K+ players already playing why did Wargaming opt to charge a full mmo subscription cost for an unfinished game?
I can't get my head round it. In terms of value for money it is waaaaaaaaay off. As ive stated before an game with this current level of content would be worth about £2.15 per month. As more stuff gets put in put up the price. If you want this game to rocket into the very competitive market of subscription games i really think you need to reconsider costs for premium.
As i have also said before if i recommend this game to friends etc they will not pay anything for the same reasons however if it is 1/3 cheaper (1/3 of the content is actually implemented atm)then it will be less of a burden and far far far more peple will happily pay and play, myself included. Charging a cost almost the same as one of the biggest games in the world, being about 1/6 cheaper, while having nothing in terms of content just boggles me.

if any of you devs and admins dont agreed with me,send me PM, but i am right,in today world it is hard to give 70-100 EURos for what, Even EVE online monthly not cost so much, low the dam prices guys,

BIGDOG3, on 24 March 2011 - 10:00 PM, said: Have to say im deeply dissapointed that you are trying to charge ppl 75 euro for a cartoon tank i maybe willing to pay 30-40 euro but no way am i going to pay 75 and this is why:
The only tank in this packacge worth somethin is the sherman because of the 198mm hull.
When we were expecting preorders we thought that the tanks are going to be gift instead you are giving a rough 10% discount on gold to push selling those tanks.
And 3rd most important have you actually thought that a solid portion of your players live on the balkans where the lowest wages in europe are nobody in his right mind gonna spend 1/3 or 1/4th of his salary on the game let alone you are trying to charge all those countries that are not on the euro yet or are not in the EU like all 15% WAT ?
No offense OVERLOD but i think your aproach is kinda flawed because most of your playerbase is composed of players from countries that belonged to the former warsaw pact and i kinda doubt that players from Polland Bulgaria Macedonia Serbia Montenegro Romania gonna be willing to pay so much . If you consider lowering the prices at least for preorders maybe more people will be willing to buy at least i know i would !

tazmanyak, on 24 March 2011 - 08:25 PM, said: yes, they totally should.
commercial prices for customers have to be "all taxes included".
Euro players (the ones displeased by this announcement) just see they just have to pay 20% more than US and russia.
Most f2p companies (but cryptic) include vat in their payment options so that final price is same for all customers.
Question: if i play on a US server, can i pay with $ without VAT?
