Joe_B, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:21, said: What clan related improvents (if any) will be included in
8.0....We need treasury history stuff (who was sent gold, when, how much)
We need member activity (drop log/alert)
We need some sort of "Note of the Day" that can be created by clan Command Staff that shows in-garage
and many other things that have been brought up for quite some time
Thanks,
Joe_B [VPG]
GeneralDirection: Treasury is being worked on. I can't say for sure if it will be in
8.0 though. I can, however, say clan wars and clan "quality of
life" improvements are one of the highest priorities at the moment.

blog I think...) and if so, will it receive a buff? Also, if it
will receive a buff, what area(s) would most likely receive a
buff?Cheers!
Glenn
GeneralDirection: Hard to say if it's truly under performing at the moment. Compared
to some of the other tier 10 TDs, sure. But those are over
performing when compared to other tier 10 vehicles.
theasshat84, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:24, said: i like how the new match making system has tightened up the matches
but, is there a way to balance the teams better? i have
gone into matchs with a large imbalance of class types of tanks
i.e. one team having a ton of high tier heavies and we
get a couple then a pile of low tier mediums.GeneralDirection: We don't have any plans to make changes like that at the moment.
The differences in tank types is intended to add variety. If you
have extreme examples, we can take a look at it, but part of going
into a match should be looking at what strategy your team needs to
use to win. Once everyone is guaranteed to have X number of
heavies, Y number of mediums, Z number of TDs, etc. it becomes
stale.

tanks? Like making our own camo schemes (following pre existent
patterns and choosing between several military colors), or applying
decals, baggage, etc.?Thanks
GeneralDirection: No to making your own camo schemes, but we're looking at other
customization options. Decals sounds like a fun way to
differentiate yourself.
ForcestormX, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:28, said: Timetable and preliminary rebalancing outline for 8.0 and 8.1 are
desired.Additionally, further listing of all features in 8.0 and whether there is a possibility for reining in arty somewhat prior to the later tier X arty rework would be nice to know.
GeneralDirection: No timelines for 8.0 or 8.1 at the moment. 
More details on 8.0 should come tomorrow. If you like videos you'll dig it.

Siian, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:29, said: Is the AMX 13 90 going to get its vertical stabilizer?GeneralDirection: Can't say for sure if the 13 90 will get one at the moment. Right
now it's not planned.
emmie357, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:29, said: Do you have any updates on the availability of the SU-85I and PzIV
Hydro?It has been awhile since they were tested and I thought I would have had a chance to grab one by now... any possibility of adding them to the gift shop?
GeneralDirection: SU-85i and Pz IV Hydro are special gift tanks and probably won't
appear in the gift shop.
Acewolf1, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:30, said: Any rebalance of tier 10 german heavy tanks?GeneralDirection: We'll continue reviewing data on the German heavies. I can say that
the Maus is performing very similarly to the Russian and American
heavies. The E-100 might need something, but it's still too early
to judge that since--like I said at the beginning of the post--7.5
has only been out a week.
_Goliard, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:31, said: Is it still planned to revamp the skill progression? And if so,
when can we expect it?GeneralDirection: Yes. Can't give a timeline on this yet, but you should hear
something soon.
CmdrNilles, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:33, said: Will the new matchmaking be changed with 8.0? While I am happy that
the tier spread has been reduced, I have seen more imbalances in
the matches. Will this be addressed?In a recent battle-- Sand River assault-- my team, the attackers, had five T10s and 3 T8 & 7 arty. The other team had another T10 and an extra arty. Needless to say my team lost.
Will any changes be made to the ELC? 'Cause I like it, and it seems a little too good-- not that I have problem with it.
GeneralDirection: No matchmaker changes are planned for 8.0 at the moment.
Regarding the ELC, it seems to be performing about where it should. If we make any changes, they will be minor.

Anfield, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:35, said: Can we expect British Tanks anytime soon? Do you have a estimate on
their patch? Also, do you have an estimated time in which the
global UC in which NA, EU, and RU server share the same map?*Edit - Also delete the Assault mode or majorly re-balance it.
GeneralDirection: British tanks should come shortly after physics and the new
rendering engine. No ETA on global UC, but the NA region will be
hitting the NA cluster very soon. Put your explorer shoes on.
Regarding Assault: no, we won't delete it. The only problem map at the moment is Prokhorovka, the others are fairly balanced in terms of win rates for attackers and defenders. But we will allow you more freedom in the modes you might see in a battle.

CaguamaMkII, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:35, said: Hi there, just wondering...Just as each tank has its average experience per battle in the stats panel, would it be possible to add the average credit making for each tank???
GeneralDirection: Interesting idea. We'll continue to refine the stats panel. We want
to make it more interesting, and in some ways more robust.
Nytherr, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:40, said: Do you plan to add a 17.3 cm gun for the E-100 and a 15 cm gun for
the Maus?GeneralDirection: No plans at the moment to add new guns to either of those tanks.
Thekebecer, on Aug 07 2012 - 15:52, said: -You already talked about bumping arty up to tier 10 and adding
some low tier to fit in holes, when are you planning to do
this?-I've read you removed Brumbar and strumtiger from TechTree because you are now planning a complete line of assault gun, is it the truth? Can you expect a complete line up to tier 10 or only some tank in the tree? And the same question as always, when?
-Is UC NA map planned soon? Will we get the Atlantis event like RU server did?
-Can we have a planned timeline for future update like you did for end 2011/early 2012? If yes, can you update it as soon as you know you'll not be able(or decide) to change the order of update?
-Do you plan adding a french tier 8 premium heavy? If yes do you plan to equip it with autoloader or not?
-When do you plan adding more tank to french tech tree? and adding some connection between the different lines?
-Any news about VK 3601 as heavy?
-Is replacement of T-50-2 planned for 8.0 or later?
GeneralDirection: - A long time from now.
- Where'd you hear that?
- NA map soon, Atlantis no. A different event.
- No, that was a bad idea. As evident by patches "not meeting deadlines or expectations". We learned some lessons with that.
- Probably, but over the next few updates we're going to look at doing more things like D-Max and Matilda Black Prince to flesh out premiums in the middle tiers more.
- Too soon to talk about French tree expansion. Let's get the RU TD branch and initial British tanks out first.
- No news about this at the moment.
- T-50-2 replacement is not in 8.0.
