Obscurity isn't going to prevent the dedicated few who figure this stuff out initially, like the author of wotreplays blog. If you read the blog the author is now looking at the saved passwords. Not sure how that's implemented, but if it's only a CRC hash and DES/RC2, even with salting that seems weak. Do we have to worry about malicious programs stealing our passwords again?
Will there be more graphic options in game?
Some options seem to be bundled and affect more than one parameter in the preferences.xml when changed in game.
Will the resolution option be worked on?
The game seems to be missing a few common ones like 1280x720. Also it's possible to set any aspect ratio with any resolution included, making for odd combinations like 16:9 or 5:4 @1920x1200 which doesn't make a lick of sense. Maybe when a user selects 16:10 he can only see 16:10 resolutions?


Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Sep 06 2012 - 08:43, said: Hi Vallter
With the extra stats you are considering displaying, could we also get more complete armour values displayed? Technically these are all publicly available since they are based off real designs so your security department shouldn't have any issues with this.
What I'm referring to is situations like the Tiger II where the front hull armour is displayed in game as 150mm, but these is no mention that the lower hull is only 120mm.

I for one am very interested to hear the reasons for German guns getting lower penetration values.
Can we please get a reply on the penetration questions?
When the Panzer IV is "changed", what is it getting to account for the loss of its turret and gun to make it different from the Panzer III/IV?

Vollketten, on Sep 06 2012 - 18:33, said: Devs, Hi. I have asked this several times now but not had any acknowledgment or answer so I hope I'm not just being ignored becausetier 2 tanks are valued enough.


Timberwolf84, on Sep 06 2012 - 19:23, said: Are you kidding me? Why? This is a Q&A thread...........
Can one of the devs please advise why the top German tanks have not received a penetration buff? They are all at the bottom of the win % rankings based off of recent numbers posted on the server.
