Personal Interviews with WG

LiannaSilverwind: Hello world,
welcome to our second (in fact first, but it got delayed) interview with famous people of World of Tanks project. One dark winter evening I’ve thought: what if we’d ask Wargaming people some naughty questions about things we’d like to know, and so we did.
Today we present you with our Questions and Answers Specialist, Developer and good guy in overall: OVERLORD!
What is your opinion on existing game balance? If you could, what would you change personally?
I would boost Medium Tanks of Tier 9, especially Panther and Pershing, so that there are more different vehicles in Clan Wars. I’d boost Maus as well, probably. And Tank Destroyers of Tier 9 too. And King Tiger as well, so that German tank players would be glad.
What is your opinion on SPGs? If you could, what would you change personally?
SPGs work as it should. Personally I use SU-26, Object 212 and GW-Tiger.
Do you like current Visibility mechanics?
My personal opinion is that Visibility system is ok in general. We will improve the algorithm and it will be better (follow the patch notes).
What is your opinion on current Russian server Clan Wars? If you could, what would you change personally?
Clan Wars are quite fun. I fought in several battles for Wargaming Clan personally. We will increase amount of provinces like… three to four times the current amount and it will be even better.
Which tank do you like the most? Which tank do you prefer?
My favorite tank is T20. I also like H38. SU-26 is a nice one as well, seems like we should nerf it…
Which tank do you like the least?
I do not like T-28 and Lee.
Which tank do you fear the most?
Object 704.
Which tank do you miss the most ingame?
I miss A-22. But do not force us to implement it!
Which map do you find most interesting? Difficult? Tactical?
Most interesting for me is Prokhorovka. Most difficult – Komarin. Most tactical – Lakesville.
Which map do you like the least and why?
I do not like Murovanka because of very different terrain around respawns that could cause disbalance. I do not like Pagorki because of its single crucial point – the Hill. If it is taken, in 80% cases the owner is pwning the other team.
What place would you like to see as a map ingame?
I want as many maps as possible. And I’m sure we’ll get them. Maybe even New York City.
What do you take into consideration when you create a new map?
Our main aim is to provide interesting and challenging gameplay. Second thing is how useful that map would be for Clan Wars. The third one is how beautiful it could be.
What game modes would you like to see ingame?
As many as we can. More preferably. After we solve optimization questions, we will start the 3 x 3 km map for 45 vs. 45 players. Maybe even with respawns for different tanks – if servers would be able to handle it.
What would you like to add to the project personally?
Large battles and different game modes. Full tank trees for many nations, covering the full globe with Clan Wars map, what else it could be?
FEMALES QUESTIONS
How do you view females ingame? Do you think WoT is able to draw females’ attention?
I view them positively. My sister plays WoT for example.
Will we get female tankists ingame or only male tankists will remain?
I think so, if speaking about ingame icons. My sister plays already on GW-Tiger.
Did it happen that you were defeated ingame by a girl? Do you consider yourself being a man still? How did you feel?
I try to play as good as I can. It probably happened already, I still feel alright. It’s important for me to not repeat mistakes I made.
When will we officially get pink skins ingame?
With British tanks I think, one of their sand camouflage patterns included pink color.
Does anyone of your family play WoT? Do you want your family to play WoT?
My sister. Sometimes I want that she would play less.
Thank you for your time and answers, Overlord! We hope your visions will come true and that you will get us acquaintances with your sister!
