7.1 - French tanks, M103, first set of crew skills? December 2011?
7.2 - New game mods, more crew skills
7.3 -
Also, can we please see an official list of the new crew skills? I have seen translated items here and there, but nothing that ever looked official.

There is no "addition" to it that could possibly be weighing it down; the tank is literally a T29 yet somehow weighs several tons more. What gives?

Hirumaru, on Nov 24 2011 - 01:38, said: Yet again, perceive this as "offensive" only if you like proving my point that those with authority only favor sycophancy and deny criticism of any kind.
Given that the last official poll shows a landslide DEFEAT for "arcade" are there any considerations for reducing the spreads for penetration and damage to less ridiculous ranges? Or is the status quo of "World of Blitz 1941 in 3d!" going to be upheld forevermore? Is there any intent at all to reexamine current mechanics or do the developers still maintain their infallibility on all this related to gameplay and balance?
Why is any gun firing shells that either pen for -25% or +25%, Gaussian blah blah blah be damned? Why are damage values so unreliable that any gun can be a peashooter or a Ion Cannon? How is this "diversity" when all anyone is doing is praying to whichever deity they worship that the RNG seed for this match will be favorable? How the hell can anyone justify this as "fun" or "enjoyable"?

Furthermore, any player answer will be considered invalid. This is a Player Questions, Developer Answers thread. Not the other way around.

Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Nov 24 2011 - 13:56, said: I've noticed on this thread and the same thread on EU forums that there appears to be a bug with the 'Go to first unread post' button. Essentially it goes to a blank page with just the OP on it. Suspect it is to do with posts being pruned as they are answered.
Is anyone looking into this?


skatersfriend, on Nov 24 2011 - 23:10, said: ok so i was on facebook and it said you could "customize and paint" your tank. i clicked thinking it was another game lol nope it was this one. is this true or it just says that?


Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Nov 25 2011 - 02:55, said: Hi Vallter
Currently the JagdPanzer IV is regarded by most players as the weakest tier 6 TD in game by quite a margin and unofficial stats pages seem to back this up in terms of win rate.
Do the stats that WarGaming have also back up this perception and are there any plans to change the JagdPanzer IV to address this?


FaustianQ, on Nov 25 2011 - 18:45, said: My suggestion is the following, with obvious adjustments to armament and stats if needed.
PanzerJager I / \ Stug III Marder II | | JagdPanzer 38D Marder III | | JagdPanzer IV DickerMax | | JagdPanther Nashorn | | JagdPanther II Sturer Emil | | JagdPanzer E-50 Ferdinand | | Jagdpanzer E-75 Jagdtiger \ / Jagdpanzer E-100
I added a T10 TD into the mix because I was also wondering if the devs have considered seriously the potential for T10 TDs. I do no know about the other nations, but at least the US (T110 AT, version 4 of the Chrysler proposal) and Germany (Jagdpanzer E-100) have that potential.


Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Nov 28 2011 - 02:46, said: Hi again Vallter
When will map pings and hotkeys be added to the ignore player feature? This was marked as something missed when ignore was implemented but I haven't heard anything about it since.
