EU Questions & Answers

DriveBy, on 11 February 2011 - 02:34 PM, said: That's great that important questions about aiming has beed answered. Less doubt is better. I have another questions:
Does vertical stabilizer affects distribution variance or just shrinks the aiming circle?
Does high velocity AT guns better variance (tighter distribution) than howitzers or low velocity AP shells?
Does particular gun type affects distribution variance or it's just the same for every gun or gun class?
In well known material that I cannot post on this forum there is value which says that suspension has impact on shot dispersion during movement. Is it impact on distribution variance or just the size of aiming circle?
In the same material there is 30% suspension health modifier for improved suspension equipment (besides improved load capacicy). Is it active or it's just some junk left in config files?
If above 30% modifier is active so why US meds don't have access to improved suspension? They could greatly benefit from it.
Is it possible to make rangefinder show distance to the ground, not only to tanks and wrecks? It could be useful for estimating view range.

WhiteHyena, on 14 February 2011 - 04:29 PM, said: I've heard mention in the future of being able to have multiple official skins for a tank, the ability to customize it etc which all sounds great. I'm just curious, if a single tank has standard paint schemes like Snow, jungle, desert, city etc- are these going to effect its in-game camo depending on the map or are they purely for aesthetics? I'm assuming they'll have no effect, but it'd be pretty cool if they did.

Vendelin, on 14 February 2011 - 07:24 PM, said: direct penetrating hit which causes critical damage doing 0 damage to vehicle HPs. is that a game mechanics or just bug?(happens on is4 driver hatch for example, direct hit with bl10, penetration, huge hole in his driver hatch, yet no damage what-so-ever besides killing his driver, but also happens on other vehicles)
and if thats bug, are you aware of it? any eta on fix?


KiNeTiX, on 14 February 2011 - 08:41 PM, said: After this patch...as the hardwipe is coming...do we get another another period of super-xp? I dont need it but the new players should experience other tanks...you know...what nation to choose...what type of vehicle. After all...its a beta not full game. I think new players will tank you ;D

Vendelin, on 14 February 2011 - 11:14 PM, said: well i didnt have the time to take SS or anything like that i was amazed in that second and then i was dead few moments later
but it was right in his driver hatch, big hole from shell (like when you get penetration) right in the middle, the gun was 152mm BL10 in my obj, using standard AP ammo
mainly thats why im curious, i would accept small caliber guns causing such things but when a 152mm shell runs through your tank, its hard to imagine it didnt do any damage besides obliterating the driver, but oh well
guess i should pull out some joke about rusian drivers head being able to stop 152mm shell from touching tank and absorbing the impact
so my final question, are you aware that there might be some "bugs" or some wrong things with this system? or are you completely satisfied how its working now and there are no plans whatsoever to change it in near future?
