Mikosah, on Feb 10 2020 - 12:00, said: Agreed. The whole point was to do away with the concept of a
'premium shell' altogether and have all shell types be balanced on
a level playing field. Not to mention that if gold shells have less
alpha relatively speaking, that's a buff to tanks with good armor.
Selling high-pen rounds for cheap prices is a necessary counter to
this problem. WG already has tons of other credit sinks (crew books
for instance, which were actually a good idea), they don't need
ammo to be a credit sink. Other points of interest are that
I hope the new statistics have more flexibility for the player to
choose which stats are recorded, and when they're reset. We'll
see how that turns out. As of the low tier HP buffs, I'm
indifferent. Simplifying the tech trees? Why? What on earth
for? As of the HE changes, I just don't get the point
of removing pen altogether. The most valuable purpose of HE is in
penetrating thin armor, and now that's gone. As of the other
miscellaneous purposes, I have a hard time predicting that these
will appreciably improve but testing will confirm. Interesting that
they're making a point of leaving the KV-2 alone, why is that the
only exception? What about all the other tanks that rely on HE?
What about tanks with HESH or HEP for that matter? And then
there's that statement of "arta as an essential part of WoT", which
is the biggest joke I've heard in years. Arta was never necessary,
it was a nuisance to simply be tolerated. Why would it now become
any more necessary or integral than before? KRZYBooP: They are changing "premium" shells by making three
rounds that are good at different things, not getting rid of it.
Instead of paying more for an all-around better shell you are only
going to get a better chance to pen. This will make me less likely
to spam it in every battle, and only use it when I am bottom tiered
or up against something I have a difficult time penning. If I am
top tier I am going to deal with the lower pen of the standard
round and make the most of the damage. My understanding
of the new ammo changes.1-[][]) Does more damage and has the same
pen values.2-[][][} Does less damage but is more likely to pen.
Making damage more consistent. 3-[][]> Does damage in a
bubble so penning is not really needed. Also being used to knock
out tracks and modules for tanks that are supposed to Heavy tanks
and feel like it. None of these are being considered "premium"
since they all do different things. Heavy tanks aren't
getting buffed at all. They are supposed to feel like heavy tanks
and will be given the same set of rounds as others. They to will
have to make the tactical choice of brawling against another Heavy
tank that they might not be able to pen and have to rely on a team
of TD's that are supposed to be set up somewhere to help, or a
light/medium flanking squad to HE the but and possibly cause a rack
to explode or tank to become inflamed. (Yay for team
play). Tanks with HESH are getting a damage increase but
losing some pen so not much is changing.

spamming is something they are looking to change. Your feedback
would be very helpful and highly encourage that you
participate. Perhaps NA could sweeten the deal a
little more? A 3D skin or camo off of the shelf?
An autographed cabbage from Cabbage Mechanic? KRZYBooP: Cabbage Confirms an autographed Cabbage for
YOUR participation.
Diacom, on Feb 10 2020 - 12:13, said: No, it's not Put-up or Shut-up, it's more like, we only want to hear from players who spend a large amount of time on the game to do the missions. So as usual, casual players will be ignored more so than others.
KRZYBooP: Ummm no. Anyone can jump into this test and fill
out a survey. There are no restrictions on it. If a player wants to
participate in the test they can and their surveys will be
reviewed. Casual players aren't being
ignored.
TempExp, on Feb 10 2020 - 12:14, said: Is there a minimum number of games to take part in the survey? What about getting the badge for feedback purposes?
Is there going to be a thread specifically for feedback? Just put it in this thread? Only the survey?
Been playing the test server a bit. Most of the changes seem fine, just don't love HE. It's not great now, but these changes don't seem to fix the issues I have with it.
KRZYBooP: There are three missions to complete on the test server.

iDestroya, on Feb 10 2020 - 12:15, said: WHY would you run sandbox at the same time as the bloody TEST
SERVER??? That's way too many crap for people to test.KRZYBooP: The [sandbox] was a bad name. This is supposed to be a
Balance Test, and you will get rewarded for participating in this
one. So you should totally skip that other test and focus on this
one

sell and stuff like that are limited TOO the Sandbox right? What I
do on Sandbox does NOT transfer over to my real(?) account, right?
Sorry, but I'm scared....KRZYBooP: Yes, what happens in Veg...... the Balance test stays there.
Selling tanks does not transfer to your main account. I understand
your hesitation.
