iron_elephant, on Sep 09 2012 - 11:15, said: Hello,First I would like to say great job thus far! As for my questions:
1) Will the physics update of 8.0 include control of secondary large guns on tanks or will this be made available in another release? (ex: B1 hull gun or Somua turret gun)
2) In the British tech tree release can we expect British India crew (or other British Commonwealth crew)?
3) Will the 8.0 update include voice overs for crew of nationalities other then the current one (accents, Russian, French, etc.)?
4) Will there ever be a stable premium tank for China made available to buy with gold rather than from the gift-store? (a small premium detachment tank force/incomplete tech tree of Chinese tanks available to the NA server)
5) Will there be a tech tree other than the European tech tree (not sure of the official name) which could include premium tanks from other countries (such as the Vijayanta, [Vickers Mk.1] of India)? Or a tech tree for South East Asia and Middle East (an Eastern countries version of the European tech tree)?
Vallter: 1)No, two features you talk about are quite different. Physics will
give tanks a realistic way of movement. While the second gun will
be enabled only with multiturret support. We had some technical
limitations in implementing it. But now our Big World team will be
able to fix this after completing some tasks with higher
priority.
2)There are no current plans to implement such crews, but if we receive enough community feedback on that, then we will think about it.
3)No, this is planned to be implemented, but not in the 8.0 update.
4)We will probably add such tank
5)It's hard to say for now. Before the European Tech Tree we have lots of plans that still should be implemented. Afterwards we will think about it. Currently we have lots of ideas on Premium tanks, including some vehicles from Latin America. But their impementation has low priority.

have time to look through 46 pages for answers(yes I used the
search function).First, will we ever get test servers located in the US?
And if not, why?
If anyone can like to some answers, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Vallter: Test server is situated in Munchen. This is compromise between all
servers and we currently do not plan to change it's location.
Chaos8034, on Sep 09 2012 - 18:45, said: I have a question for WG, Do you know what a queue is? Do you know
what it's purpose is? Did you know that the 8.0 test server's queue
doesn't work at all?Vallter: We had some issues with queue in the first iteration of the Public
Test. With next version things have improved.
casadint, on Sep 09 2012 - 20:47, said: Question Number 1: I understand in 8.0 the PZIV will have it's best
gun reduced for a ..... The question is, why remove a historically
accurate gun?Question Number 2: I understand nerfs are constantly happening to tank destroyers, particularly their guns, I.E. Marder II. Why was the historically accurate PAK 40 not upgraded in damage? Tank destroyers are meant to be the unbalanced tank, such as SPGs.
Question Number 3: There is no balance, no fairness and no allowance in War. If you plan on remaining historically accurate, why change the setup of tanks, TD and Arty? I.E. Marder II, PZIV, SU-85 and etc. The majority of people that argue about the unfairness don't care about the historical facts, however, these facts allow this game to stand differently from others. Why not just add more tanks, TDs and arty from the same era, however, delve into more prototypes and blueprint models.
Vallter: 1)First of all, because with this gun tank is overperforming.
Moreover, this is a 'historically accurate gun' only for one of
tank modifications and not for the tank itself. It will be reserved
to Pz IV Schmalturm Tier 6 tank.
2)Marder II will be buffed in 8.0, If I remember right.
3)We try to stick to the historical accuracy, but it's in many times not possible due to in-game balance needs. Thus we have historically accurate models and oftenly modules, but vehicle characteristics differ from it. For example, Tiger (P) engine could break 'in field' easily because of very sensitive engine. This is discarded in the game to save the balance.

Violator won't be able to sell all your tanks, thus we will be able
to reimburse you easily.
husband, on Sep 09 2012 - 21:29, said: Will future patches, now that physics is being fine tuned, include
destructible/weight limitations to bridges?Vallter: There are no such plans for now, because this may damage in-game
balance and severely hit German vehicles.
jimmystickrules, on Sep 09 2012 - 22:30, said: If I sign up for the 8.0 test server do you keep the free xp and
credits after the patch is active?Thanks
Vallter: No, this is an exclusive addition on the test server, which is
granted to player to give them possibility to test all new vehicles
and features.
