In-Game Vehicles\Soviet Vehicles\Medium Tanks\T44 - Your opinion ?

cnumartyr, on 28 August 2010 - 03:30 PM, said: I don't consider it a nerf personally. Mostly because I think it
was done so that it wouldn't have an insane amount of horsepower
with those new consumables that increase HP.

LiannaSilverwind: Nerf = reducing power/usability in MMO games. If one tank lost
something and others did not, forementioned tank is nerfed.
Lowering engine HP lowers acceleration most of all. Acceleration is important for circling and especially when trying to drive out of "tracks down" situation. Therefore T-44 will not be able to circle as well as it did and "tracks down" will spell their doom even more surely.
Many Russian release players mentioned that the vehicle is being critted even more often (is that possible?), but with no numbers behind the feelings one cannot be sure.

LiannaSilverwind: T-44 is usually one of the team's top tanks, attracting SPGs
attention. Especially if T-44 driver likes to stop before firing or
circling slowly.
Most T-44 drivers prefer to play solo, killing low tier enemies, collecting 5+ frags and feeling imba. The solution is very simple: hit T-44 tracks and see it burn. Even if you did not destroy it, knocked out gunner, loader or damaged rack are enough to make it miss and reload for eternity; damaged engine or knocked out driver makes it crawl. Damaged T-44 can be swarmed and destroyed by lower tier tanks as well.
Besides in Russian release T-44 is already nerfed.

LiannaSilverwind: I call my T-44 Lottery Tank. You just play with Lady Luck every
battle. You can get lucky and destroy many enemies. You can get
unlucky and be oneshotted by first Luchs you encounter. This tank
is very good when Lady Luck is with you.
I never understood why people are afraid of it. I encountered it many times on my mediums/heavies and never felt it was as overpowered as people claim. Besides - if Lady Luck abandons it, it's gone after 1st shot.

decent tierLVL can kinda instant buy an almost unbeatable tank..
its sad

Link on message: #86129

LiannaSilverwind: In a couple of week most of those people will return back to more
"average" vehicles due to repair and ammo costs they suffer against
similar vehicles, when they themselves lack knowledge how to
properly use their "unbeatable" machines. IS-7/Maus repair costs
are around 30k, ammo per battle is around 20k. Good luck!

LiannaSilverwind: WTB special section about Supporting heavy tanks does not mean
sitting 400 metres behind them and trying to pick up some
frags.
Heavy tanks can be easily swarmed and killed if their support plays snipering mode from far away. IS-7 and Maus too.

LiannaSilverwind: Developers already mentioned in certain topic that if you carry 1
shell or 50 shells, it does not change the chance of explosion. The
only difference is if you have ANY shells, rack can explode.
Unfortunately I do not remember where did I read it, but it was

Mr_Rivers, on 15 August 2010 - 11:46 PM, said: the funny thing is if i rush in my is-4 on malinovka nine out of
ten times i will win. This isnt just because im in an is-4 either,
its because i am spotting all these campers who sit behind rocks
and wait while my team shoots them when they poke their noses out.

Link on message: #70879

LiannaSilverwind: My experience with IS-4 rushing is different, usually ends in one
of two ways:
1) Tracks damaged, killed before reaching the houseline.
2) I reach houseline with one surviving fellow. Rest are killed by sniping fire of campers.
9/10 rushes I saw made by our side or by enemy side were total failures and easy frags for the other team. Did not depend on tank I was in.

LiannaSilverwind: I see certain problem with new EU players experiencing the game for
first days, when they they enter their first battle with Tier 3
tank and see 5 Mauses on both sides. Most MMO players in today's
world hate difficulties and are unable to grind through tough
opposition, while we all definitely want them to remain and provide
easy frags entertainment for us and money for developers.
Hence my question.

LiannaSilverwind: Dear developers,
I'd like to ask about your plans considering EU release and their merges with current RU release players.
1) Will EU release players be able to play with their RU friends immediately after EU release? I read about having only one server for all players.
2) If yes, what about possible imbalances due to RU release players having much better tanks already? I joined Closed Beta 3 days after it started and had quite easy way to T-44/IS-4/SU-8, but my friends who joined one-two weeks later were farmed to oblivion in their lighter medium/heavy tanks, feeling lots of frustration due to inability to be really useful to their team. I remember facing Wargaming Maus/IS-7 in my T-34/KV, felt pretty puny.
3) What are your plans considering gift tanks? I read/was told about battles consisting of 10 KV-220/Alpha tanks on both sides, making gaming experience bit repetitive and boring.
Thank you, with best regards!

LiannaSilverwind: Now for some historical data for those who claim T-44 is post-war
tank.
1) T-44 hitted serial production in last quarter of 1944.
2) Most sources claim: Production was ended in 1945. No T-44s were produced in 1946. Some sources claim: production was ended in 1947.
3) Amount of tanks completed: 655-1823 by different sources.
Therefore:
1) T-44 is Second World War Tank.
2) T-44 is not any kind of futuristic nonsense prototype that never saw combat.
3) T-44 is not post-war MBT.

1) Does not move
2) Does not shoot
Infamous example: Ste******cN
Solution: if player did not move from the spot, nor did he shoot, he does not get any Credits and Experience.
Second-generation AFKer detection:
1) Moves to a certain spot or turns turret a bit
2) Shoot at regular intervals
Solution: if player did not score any hits (even glancing) during the game at all, he gets hidden counter +1. If counter gets to 10, he gets his ban.
