does increasing crew skill % beyond 100% increase the performance lineary? like radio range is 500m with 100%, does 110% loader increase the range by 50m i.e. 550m (110% of 500m) does this work? if yes, does it apply to all crew dependent skills? (load time, view range, aim speed, etc)

Im curious if the 7 kills for tanks and 10 kills for SPGs has any statistical background.

I realise that playing CWs soon after the release will give players that reach higher tiers fast a big advantage. But honestly I dont see the problem with that.
It's cool that WoT has released the championships http://forum.worldof...es/page__st__40 and that may reignite many people's interest.
But I think CWs is still easilly the biggest pull for most of us.
So is there any chance of knowing when WoT will decide about exactly when CW beta will be released?
For me personally having an exact date - that we can rely on - will make a huge difference and keep me motivated.

Also, will tanks behind houses or buildings become invisible untill they are spotted? Right now no matter what you seem to see trough buildings, and that takes out the element of surprise...
I thing if you make theese 2 changes to the game it will become lot more fun and realistic.


waylander1, on 27 February 2011 - 01:59 PM, said: With the upcoming server downtime i just want to check to see if the patch will be before or after this or will they be done at the same time as its now the 27th of Feb but we have no closer indication of when the patch will be and you must be aware if it will be before or after.
0.6.3.8 update for EU server is rescheduled for February 21 - March 4 due to several fixes and new content features that require additional tweaking and testing.
The maintenance works are scheduled for March 1, 8:00 am UTC.


CerVus, on 27 February 2011 - 05:28 PM, said: This is from wikipedia:
"The Ausf F's Schmalturm was to have a built-in stereoscopic rangefinder and lower weight than the original turrets."
So, why is here Schmalturm turret for Panther heavier than orginal?


Fimp3n, on 27 February 2011 - 04:56 PM, said: Questions:
What made you choose to solve the problem of the tank being slowed down by the prototype plate by putting on an engine that wasn't introduced for the T-54 until mid 1980's?
Wouldn't the more obvious solution be to lower the thickness and weight of the front plate, removing the anachronistic engine, and thus letting the tank retain it's speed and maneuverability?
If you haven't already, will you at least try this out for yourselves? Make a version like this (99 mm front plate, no 1983 engine, lower total weight of the tank to retain speed and maneuverability) and test it, and perhaps share the results with us players?
(For the record I have an elite T-54 myself, and I think if you answer these questions for us you'll calm down much of the player base)
