Q: currently the GW E seems to be invulnarable to splash damage by other artilleries. is this working as intended or a bug?

Lamer_Cz, on 01 June 2011 - 06:22 PM, said: Hi,
i have two small questions.
1) How much can be difference between teams? I mean sum all tanks tier (to today, i think this is only criterium for building teams).
2) when you know, which level is equipment used on tank why you dont take this into consideration when creating teams? It funny go with basic su-100 against Is-3 or 4..and with elite Su-100 agains T-34 and Panzer IV.
Thank you for answers.


finalsacre, on 01 June 2011 - 10:50 PM, said: Hello,
I would ask you some questions:
1) About stats of T23:
I saw you posted global stats (% victory and average xp) of T9 mediums, I thank you though I still would like to see the comparison between T8 mediums, because the balance on paper seems to be even worse than the balance of T9. Especially T23 which lacks firepower and armor. I hardly think how can it have similar stats (despite I drive myself a T23 and have currently 554 average xp {no premium} and 60% win ratio ).
2) About French tanks:
a) I read that the game mechanic multiple turrets will be delayed. Can we hope to see it 3 months after the release of French tanks or later ?
b ) Because of the last point, I dread the other new game mechanic, named revolver magazine (mounter on the last tiers )will also be reported, is my fear justified ?
3) Others :
a) Can you increase the daily limit of "+1"? I always run out of it
b ) Can I have an autograph ?
Thank you in advance .

Are there any plans to modify the Tiger I?
I am thinking about its armor values being incorrect.
I would also like to know if its view range will be extended to reflect the fact that in real life the Tiger had one of the longest view ranges on the battlefield, while in the game it is easily over matched by some of the higher tier tanks, it should be equal to them... shouldnt it?
I would also like to know why
the consumable 100 octane gasoline was change to automatic use, sometimes I do not want to use it, but have to option to.
The HE rounds for the 88mm gun of the Tiger have an AP value that is only half of what they should be (Official NONE GERMAN TESTS show the AP values of those rounds where @ 90mm AP)
I would like to know why the coated optics dont take effect for 3 seconds after the tank has stopped moving.
If a tank has upgraded optical lenses they they would always work because it is how the glass works, yes?
I would like the know why the Large caliber tank gun rammer is quoted to -10% from load time. in my own tests which involve crew experience levels being equal in each test the load time is not reduced by as much as 10%, the load time is closer to 5% at best, maybe the price should be changed to reflect this? or the load times should be as stated?
I would like to know if the game mechanics allow for the Tiger I's close to perfect armor into account?
An armor value of 45mm on the cheaply made T34 means it has 34mm armor, however the Tiger armor was not cheap, it was close to prefect, but this is not reflected in the game.... why? ....... if you can code to allow for slop armor of a T34 then it is a simple matter to code this too, correct?
Sometimes it seems to me the job the developers have done on the Russian and some American tanks is very good, the IS-7 is good, especially as a lot of the facts used to make it are speculation, but on tanks like the Tiger the job done is really very poor, even though some facts like the armor thickness are easy facts that can be discovered reading even the most fact-less books.
It is a shame to spoil such good work with poor workmanship in some places (((((

B051LjKo, on 02 June 2011 - 11:08 AM, said: Overlord, do you plan to fine tune the american T5E1 gun, with the nerfs in 6.4.0, it really doesn't belong to "Tier 9 gun" category. For example, compare it with KwK45 L52 on Tiger 2.
T5E1 on the T32
Damage : 240 to 400
Penetration : 149 to 248mm
Rof : 6.32 rnd/min
Precision : 0.37
Aiming Time : 2 sec
Tiers : 9
Exp Cost : 40 700
KwK45 L/52 on the Tiger II
Damage : 240 to 400
Penetration : 150 to 250mm
Rof : 6.32 rnd/min
Precision : 0.32
Aiming Time : 2 sec
Tiers : 8
Exp cost : 16 800
So the questions are:
1. Do you plan to buff accuracy or penetration on T5E1 (on t32, with might call for redesignation to prevent T29 from beeling OP in the tier 7 arena) to make it liable as a Tier 9 once again.
2. If the answer to the first question is negative, to you plan to designate it as a Tier 8 gun, and thus, reducing the XP needed for research (because 40K XP is way to much for a Tier 8 gun)


Stubentiger, on 02 June 2011 - 12:56 PM, said: Since the update 0.6.5 and 0.6.6 are not very far away any more, two questions about the content and one general question:
Will the VK3601 get a different gun when being reclassified as a Tier6 Heavy?
Will the Panther I keep its 8.8/L71 when moving down to Tier 7?
Do you plan to add an ingame nickname change service (for gold)? Now, the support only changes your nickname if you have a prohibited or unreadable nickname, but not for any other personal reason.


dktank, on 02 June 2011 - 02:16 PM, said: hi overlord, these questions were removed during cleaup so i'll ask them again:
1) AP rounds (not HEAT) for artillery: is their penetration calculated the same as for other guns? the ranges they shoot at are much bigger, so their actual penetration will be quite low. also
their muzzle velocity and flight path are quite different, so is there any difference? if no is there a change planned in the future?
2) is weaker top armor (as in real life) modelled ingame to give artillery an advantage and height advantages to tanks?
3) any plan to introduce AP rounds to more SPGs?
thanks for the answers!

Baine, on 02 June 2011 - 04:57 PM, said: I can understand that it may absorb HE damage, as long as it is partly. But at the moment it absorbs ALL the damage. That can hardly be supposed to be like that.


Just1ce, on 02 June 2011 - 05:20 PM, said: What balance adjustments the VK36H will get? because i don't see it as a heavy gun wise

marko4231, on 02 June 2011 - 08:31 PM, said: HOWDY, Overlord, i have the large shell ramer and ventilation class 3 on my vk4502, that ads up to 10% faster reload time + 5% crew skills. The question, does that make my reloader reload 15% faster ?
And if i get chocolate, does it make reloader 25% faster all together?
Oh, and another. the 88l100 gun..wil we ever see it and on what tanks


Just1ce, on 02 June 2011 - 07:59 PM, said: Is there a slimiest chance that we would get henschel and adler fantasy turrets for the e 100? or this is a big NO?


Alcoholic_Semen_Thrower, on 02 June 2011 - 07:04 PM, said: I have a couple of questions.
I saw the tip that read that in clan battles and tank companies, half of the experience and credit earned by the defeated team is awarded to the winning team.
Will in the near future be the sme in random battles? And if not why not?


Gremmel, on 02 June 2011 - 06:12 PM, said: 1. Is all the numerous posts about tier-spread and more evenly spread teams (not all T9 meds on one side) in the MMS being taken into consideration or should we just give it up and be happy with the broken one?
2. Is any of the numerous posts about artillery spam being considered or should we just make our piece with not being able to move whatsoever on most maps?
3. Been asked but can't stress it enough it seems. The Tiger I aka bullet-sponge is going to stay broken?


Zieten, on 02 June 2011 - 10:17 PM, said: i'm sorry to bother you again with this - but how much damage is that roughly? some guys tested it and, for example, a GW E took no damage from a near hit (closer than 1 metre) by a T92 which has an av damage of 2250 w HE.
are you sure that this is working correctly?


jincx, on 02 June 2011 - 10:33 PM, said: what about its damage,is it remains same?
