Desdichado, on Nov 29 2011 - 21:42, said: Awesome.
It was an epic battle... wish so much I'd frapsed it. Started off with a scouting run that included running into two lone tds, which are easy prey for a stuart on open terrain. A third tank came to help the second td but only got in range just as he died so I was able to dispatch him without much trouble as well. This was all in the first 90 seconds or so of the match, so with the first three kills so quickly I knew I had a good shot at making something happen here. The midgame was pretty standard 'nano' gameplay that pulled in another 4 kills, for 7 total. Then their last three tanks (a T18, T2 Med and something else I can't recall) started capping our base.
My team was all like 'CAP FAST' but I was like 'naw, imma kill em all'. So I turned on the afterburner and buzzed back to our base, taking wild shots hoping for a lucky decap. Miss--Miss--Miss. Then literally as their cap was at 99 about to hit 100 one of my shots landed. By now I was almost point blank so decapping the other two was easy. Then the T18 got a solid shot with his derp gun that damaged my engine and for a moment I thought maybe this wasn't a great idea afterall. I had a friendly SU-18 lobbing shells into their base too, but he wasn't hitting anything and frankly I was more concerned he was going to accidentally kill me. I managed to kill the T18 before he got another hit and wrapping up the other two was a simple affair.
Finished with 10 kills, 0 damaged, 9 scouted for a Top Gun/Scout/Defender. 1719 xp game (no bonuses), which is no trivial feat in a non-premium tier 3 game I think.
Time to update my sig....

Awhile ago it was made mention that another, better/bigger box set would be available for purchase that would contain more stuff. A lot of people are wondering if it will be available in time for Christmas this year.

FaustianQ, on Nov 29 2011 - 16:23, said: Okay, acceptable enough.
Modding WoT is a bit murky as to what players can and can't do, and it's sometimes difficult to understand how to modify it if it's allowed in the first place. Has WarGaming considered something akin to an SDK (Software Development Kit) that contains all files the devs will allow to be modified as well as basic instructions for their usage? Does WarGaming see the modding community as a good thing for World of Tanks?

Herr_Klug, on Nov 29 2011 - 12:57, said: Turret layout. The roomier the turret the easier it is for the crew to function is my guess. The gun will spit out shells as fast as you can load them ... it's not the gun that's the limiting factor.
Also, any mention of when we can expect the premium super jumbo deluxe boxed version for retail sale with the gift only tanks? We know they are ready and being tested on the v7.0 test servers. My guess is not this holiday season, but I wouldn't mind being proved wrong.

SgtNathan, on Nov 29 2011 - 02:00, said: I have read people asking to be switched to another server such as US to EU or US to RU, then them finding out its not possible for some reason. What is this reason? I think I read it was because it was impossible to switch progress between servers as they're not connected? Why is it the test server is fine with this? Players from US, EU & RU playing together with all of their stats intact? Shouldn't that mean theres a link to transfer data across the main servers?
Thanks.

Hirumaru, on Nov 29 2011 - 01:09, said: What you call "radical" most would call "sensible". Is lowering the spread for your random number generators by half really "radical"? From 50% (+-25%) for penetration to 20% (+-10%), and from 60% (+-30%) for damage to 30% (+-15%) really "radical"? How does that change the game mechanics besides making the game less random, frustrating, and nonsensical? Yes, "Gaussian blah blah blah", but does the spread have to be so high if the majority of shots are going to be in the median range anyway?
This isn't about "radical changes to gameplay" but cutting out useless, unnecessary, artery-clogging fat. Or are you suggesting that all numbers and variables and data points are gloriously designed and thus immutable?
This isn't "radical" nor is it "difficult". The only hindrance is the inability to admit that it might make things better for the average player, instead of constantly screwing them over randomly, a la Overlord's concept of "diversity".
Which you never inform us of. Hence the doubting, skepticism, and doom-saying. Fill us in or be prepared for bitter feelings of abandonment.

FaustianQ, on Nov 28 2011 - 16:10, said: Well, it's not really a suggestion so much as a question with a requirement of a suggestion so as to set a framework for the question, at least from my perspective.
Basically, is Wargaming seriously considering T10 TDs, is what I suggested similar to what they might do/have planned, and finally, as part of the original question, would you consider reducing either the MM spread of the Jagdpanzer IV or decreasing it's tier within the tech tree to be replaced by another tank?
It's less "This is what I'd like Wargaming to do" and more "Is this what Wargaming could have in mind?". You guys know what you want to do and little's going to change that, so I'd rather try to tease information out of you guys then create false aspirations that my suggestion would be taken seriously.

Alpha_Mike_Foxtrot, on Nov 28 2011 - 22:48, said: when you announced "we are giving you the patton" the entire world thought m48 because that tank was the direct opponent to the t54 durring the cold war. but contrary to this. you give us a tank IDENTICAL TO THE TANK YOU WERE TO UPGRADE US FROM in every way accept hp. what is the logic in that. how do you explain that THE ONLY TANKS THAT WERE USED HEAVILY AFTER WW2 ARE ON THE RUSSIAN LINE. You have the t54 which has upgrades that were well into vietnam. you have an "IS7" that is directly modeled off of the T10 that was made AFTER THE FALL OF STALIN!! but the best you can come up with is the end of the war products for the americans. im not asking for an M60 or an abrams. Is it too much to ask for 20mm armor upgrade on the patton for "historical reasons" after all you did that to the is4 and it was already amazing with armor.

read this post. the thread is the most eloquent form i have found and i could not say any of it better
I am simply saying that the developers have shown a deplorable lack of respect and interest in the american servers while we pay the most for gold. WE in essence fund this entire game, and yet get the shaft time and again. well if they wont respect our suggestions. how about we see if they respect our money. I for one LOVE the premise of this game, and that is one of the reasons i post. but the game itself needs a massive overhaul. unfortunately the developers have ignored us in almost every way from promising new tanks that never arrive to nerfing other barely descent tanks and buffing already overpowered tanks due to national predjudice, then temp bann people who speak out in the forums. I know this post will be removed sooner rather than later but the issues are clear. We THE CONTRIBUTERS SHOULD NOT BE TREATED LIKE THIS, in any sort of business model. and when costumers are mistreated. the company looses money. So its their turn.

inphinity, on Nov 22 2011 - 08:12, said: It actually seems to be ping-dependent. If you have a higher ping, there's a high chance that your shot won't count - your client will render it, but the server will decide you died before you shot. I've had this dozens of times.


turtle722, on Nov 22 2011 - 16:41, said: Can we get an update to the in-development section? I know dates are very fluid and you all are planning on what will be in and what will be out to make fast deadlines. We would all love to see what is coming in the next 2-3 months:
7.1 - French tanks, M103, first set of crew skills? December 2011?
7.2 - New game mods, more crew skills
7.3 -
Also, can we please see an official list of the new crew skills? I have seen translated items here and there, but nothing that ever looked official.


Arzoo, on Nov 23 2011 - 10:20, said: Why does the stock T34 turret, which is IDENTICAL to the stock T29 turret, weigh so much more? They're the same thing. There is no "addition" to it that could possibly be weighing it down; the tank is literally a T29 yet somehow weighs several tons more. What gives?

Hirumaru, on Nov 24 2011 - 01:38, said: Yet again, perceive this as "offensive" only if you like proving my point that those with authority only favor sycophancy and deny criticism of any kind.
Given that the last official poll shows a landslide DEFEAT for "arcade" are there any considerations for reducing the spreads for penetration and damage to less ridiculous ranges? Or is the status quo of "World of Blitz 1941 in 3d!" going to be upheld forevermore? Is there any intent at all to reexamine current mechanics or do the developers still maintain their infallibility on all this related to gameplay and balance?
Why is any gun firing shells that either pen for -25% or +25%, Gaussian blah blah blah be damned? Why are damage values so unreliable that any gun can be a peashooter or a Ion Cannon? How is this "diversity" when all anyone is doing is praying to whichever deity they worship that the RNG seed for this match will be favorable? How the hell can anyone justify this as "fun" or "enjoyable"?

skatersfriend, on Nov 24 2011 - 23:10, said: ok so i was on facebook and it said you could "customize and paint" your tank. i clicked thinking it was another game lol nope it was this one. is this true or it just says that?


Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Nov 25 2011 - 02:55, said: Hi Vallter
Currently the JagdPanzer IV is regarded by most players as the weakest tier 6 TD in game by quite a margin and unofficial stats pages seem to back this up in terms of win rate.
Do the stats that WarGaming have also back up this perception and are there any plans to change the JagdPanzer IV to address this?


FaustianQ, on Nov 25 2011 - 18:45, said: My suggestion is the following, with obvious adjustments to armament and stats if needed.
PanzerJager I / \ Stug III Marder II | | JagdPanzer 38D Marder III | | JagdPanzer IV DickerMax | | JagdPanther Nashorn | | JagdPanther II Sturer Emil | | JagdPanzer E-50 Ferdinand | | Jagdpanzer E-75 Jagdtiger \ / Jagdpanzer E-100
I added a T10 TD into the mix because I was also wondering if the devs have considered seriously the potential for T10 TDs. I do no know about the other nations, but at least the US (T110 AT, version 4 of the Chrysler proposal) and Germany (Jagdpanzer E-100) have that potential.
