Jeremy Taylor: Hm... I don't think so. I mean if you want to take part in beta
test and your application is ok, why should we put the limits?
We'll see how the process will go on but we haven't discussed the
certain number of invitations yet. The more the better, I believe.
The more people we'll have in beta the more fun beta testers will
get. I think it makes sense

Jeremy Taylor: You cand send the smaller part of your clan which is online. Or
arrange the battle in advance. There will be nothing complex about
it and we'll have the certain system for it.
You may appoint the deputy for the cases when the commander can't take part in battles. The way you will manage the hierarchy of your clan and discipline will depend on you mostly.

Jeremy Taylor: Let's imagine that you're commanding a clan, say, of 80 players.
You open the global map plan divided into multiple zones (mini
maps), analyze the situation and decide where to send the tank
brigade (say of 25 vehicles) to edge out the enemy from the
interested area. If your brigade successfully destroys the enemy on
this map, the corresponding zone comes under your control. Another
25 fighting vehicles you may send to fight on another area (mini
map). The rest 30 tanks you may use, for instance, to make an
alliance with another clan to edge out more powerful enemy from the
tastiest territory. The scenarios may be different.

control over this zone (it will be indicated as yours on the global
map). No respawns, of course. The more zones are under your control
the more bonuses and extra features you get. Please ask more

Instanced-only fights would give less immersion than a global map where you can see where the action really is.
Quote Obviously it would be nice to play scenarios where a smaller team would have to defend against a larger attacking team and thus introducing unbalanced battles which could be very rewarding if you still win as a defender being outnumbered (but in better positions e.g. with height advantages or strategically placed defense-structures).

Jeremy Taylor: The global map is divided into multiple instanced zones. Our game
is MMO; though with outstanding graphics and myriads of cool
features but still MMO. Making such a huge persisten global map is
impossible from technology standpoint for this day. Anyway many
thanks for that question.

Jeremy Taylor: This is soooooo interesting question. There's one real challenge
about Zimmerit and probably you may help us somehow. We are
regularly consulting with military and tank building experts
(besides having our own ones) and actually we found no sense in
Zimmerit. There's a primary theory about Zimmerit that it was used
for protection from magnetic mines. Therefore we actually don't
know how we can use it in our game. If you have some thoughts about
it please start the topic in our offtopic section or history
section so we could discuss it in details (just not to loss the
line of conversation on this thread). We would really aprecciate
this.

I played featured tanks based on a similar system, but by the time
you got to them, the standard tanks were much better. Perhaps if
the prestige items were generic improvements that could be applied
to any tank? Like slightly more effective armour, improved engines
or drive systems? Or at a clan level, a boost to whatever bonuses
they get for holding a territory?

upgrading. But let me repeat myself: all modifications will be done
within the bounds of historical accuracy. No chance to install the
Tiger gun on your first level Leichttractor. That was not
impossible in the first half of the 20th century; therefore this is
not impossible in our game. You will be also able to get some extra
powerful shells within you upgrading process. They will cost quite
much game credits but their cost is also justifiable: during the
WWII tank brigades could get only a very limited amount of such
extra destructive shells due to their high production costs.

guarantee more than comfortable game experience; those who live in
Europe or Israel will have no lags or the such. If your ping is not
enough that's only you who may experience some problems or lags,
not the entire team with higher pings.
We will probably launch another one American server to guarantee smooth game experience for the US audience. We are testing different options for that moment.

Jeremy Taylor: The limit of your clan is one hundred players. You will be fighting
on the global map divided into hundreds of areas of influence for
domination over those zones. Each zone represents a map with the
certain limitation of the number of players on it. For this moment
the limitation of one of the map we have so far is 60 players.
Imagine the situation. You're commanding the clan of 100 hundred players. You've got the aim to capture, say, 2 zones on the global map. Each zone (map) on the global map has its own limitation of the number of players to play on. One map can afford 60 players to fight on, another one - 40 players. You divide your clan and send your two divisions to fight.
The size of the map depends on its type. For instance, the desert map with a very few objects on it may hold much more than the city map, while the city map may hold approximately 50 players on it.

level tank or will the combination of weapon strength and armour
thickness cause the fight to be very short and one sided?Jeremy Taylor: High level heavy tanks are clumsy with low turret rotation speed.
Low level tanks are much faster and use this advantage for scouting
and in battling. The light tank can damage or even destroy the
heavy tank by "dancing" around it and shooting in vulnerable
places.
Fights will not be one sided as before each battle the game divides players in two equal teams and each fighting vehicle has its own assignment (scouting, offensive, arty cover, etc.).
This is the hierarchy of factors and exactly in this order to win the battle in World of Tanks. Just like in real war actually:
1.Wise team cooperation,
2. Skills of each player,
3.The level of tanks

radio. All modifications assumed in World of Tanks were approved
from historical standpoint (e.g. you can't install the gun from
Tiger on your middle Soviet tank).

could be added in a later patch so as not to hurt release dates?

by the 3rd person players too fast: 3rd person view gives much
wider visual range.

the game thoroughly, testing the balance and listening to your
wishes and advice. So I believe beta test is not the best time to
launch the clan war mode. But of course when there are more of us
here you may start inviting the like-minded people to your clan,
those you will rely on in war and diplomacy.

unclearly: till one hundred players in ONE clan (most powerful
though)are fighting for the domination on the global map(it will be
immense). And of course there can be more than two clans taking
part in clan war on the global map. The more players we have and
proud of - the more clans we get, the bigger these clans are.

II at the Fort Knox Armor Museum in Kentucky. Big sucker, but not
as big as the Tiger II... let alone the Maus.
Did Allied tank crews have a similar rotation off the battlefield as the pilots did? You know, complete a certain amount of missions or kills and then rotate off into a training roll? I know that's a big part of what doomed Japan during the air cmapaigns.

ChrisK:
The Panther was like a super-T-34, but lacked the simplicity and low cost of the original, although it could certainly take it one-on-one. The PzKpfw VG Panther at the Panzermuseum in Munster, Germany, was still running the last time I was there (over 10 years ago now). Fantastic piece of work. There are several Panthers and King Tigers around in various museums, but that Panther II at Knox is the only prototype of that vehicle.
Allied tank crews didn't have a rotation policy. As far as I know, no nation did that for tank crews. Might have been a good idea in some cases.
