 burdy, on 24 January 2012 - 02:53 PM, said: 1) I recently bought a SU 26 and a direct hit to a T4 or T5 tank deals 40-50 damage, a direct hit to a T7 tank deals 5-10 damage. Will that be fixed with 7.2?
2) I recently had a match with my GW Tiger, where an IS7 parked right next to our Maus. Because I didn't want to damage our Maus I didn't shot directly on the IS7, but on the ground next to the IS7. The IS7 took 700 damage, but our Maus was also damaged for 300 points. Wasn't this HE change supposed to fix weird behaviour? How is it possible to damage the Maus, when an IS7 is between the Maus and the explosion?

Aimless, on 23 January 2012 - 06:38 PM, said: I've got a question regarding a feature I don't consider helpful at all, but very annoying. Everytime I die I see following message:

As everybody knows it covers around 20% of the minimap in the south for several seconds. Just to give one and the same hint over and over again - press ESC to leave the battle and enter the garage. While this hint shows up, you are not able to point at any square in the southern area of the map. Very unlucky when your team started in the north.
So, is there any chance to have this message disabled or at least relocated to the top of the screen please where it's not an actual barricade in many situations? I think I am also speaking for a huge amount of other players who never forget how to leave a battle after having seen it once and want to get rid of this message.
Have mercy if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything about it in this thread.

Another Camo question; Is there any possibility that we'll be able to purchase comedy camo schemes at any point?
I'd love to buy a black and white "cow" style camo scheme for my RAM-II. Or maybe union jack stylised one for when then the British tanks come out.
I know you like to keep it all realistic etc etc, but it's always nice to have a bit of the occasional comic relief here and there.
I mean you are intending to bring horns in after all!

UrsuCarpatin, on 24 January 2012 - 12:42 PM, said: Hello.
I have a question and , as far as I have seen ,it has not yet been raised here :
What is the actual top speed of AMX40?
I found 50km/h everywhere(wotwiki,wotdb,ingame description) but I only reached max 25 (driving down from a hill).I reserched all,crew is above 70%(not on this account) and its not just me,but everyone who uses this tank!Is it bug,or wrong info?In the current status it's a light tank slower than a KV with a very poor gun that is useless except 1st in MM.
And a second question:
If there is a bug,when does it get fixed?
Best regards.

Trent, on 23 January 2012 - 06:54 PM, said: 1. Did you mean "each time enemy tank in capping circle is destroyed or damaged"?
2. Could you elaborate a little bit on this cooldown? I'm not sure I understand it correctly.
Does it mean that when the enemy capping reaches 100% (with exclamation mark), damaging his tanks doesn't reset the capping (i.e. cap line still stays at 100%), therefore my team cannot win any more - but with each damaging shot I can still give my team more time to reach a draw? (Even for a very long time, up to battle timer reaching 0:00?)
Thanks

FrostDX, on 23 January 2012 - 06:33 PM, said: Q1: According to in development: "Alternate branch of American Tank Destroyers with turrets, starting at T82", can you confirm that all of them will have turrets, especially T25-2 (I think you said earlier that T28 prototype will have turret, and I found images of all other tanks, but I couldn't find T25-2)?
Q2: Will there be a research link from T28 prototype to T28 like in this picture:

Reason for asking second question: on this image there is also link that leads to M4 Sherman from M7, but there is no such link in game.

 BombsAway, on 23 January 2012 - 04:59 PM, said: As a follow-up to this:
I'd like to ask if water has an effect on the characteristics of HE round explosions; more than once I've been near-missed by a large arty round that hit the water next to me, and the splash damage seemed reduced. I have not tested this in training battles simply because it's impossible to predict the actual impact point for high tier arty, so the results would be inconclusive.
Therefore:
1. Is the splash damage or splash radius affected in any way when an HE round explodes in water?
2. If not, could such a dampening effect be introduced in the future?

 Listy, on 23 January 2012 - 03:09 PM, said: Well would you consider it? Please. Sooner rather than later. In my previous post it gives some good reasons (IE: to stop pissing your customers off).
I do most of my gaming on TD's, its what I have most success in. Knowing camo progress is rather important (this is an understatement).
We're not asking for a "live" bar which shows your camo value during the game (although that would be utterly cool and brilliant), just one that sits in your garage and lets you know what your value is with crew skills and camo net.
Thanks.

marko4231, on 23 January 2012 - 02:52 PM, said: Hi.
Why do i get my front lower hull (E100) penetrated by IS7 or other tanks when i position myself at a 45degree angle to them?
the lower hull has 50 degree angle, with another 45 degree the armor value should reach about 350mm, so its beyond the reach of almost all guns, even if you concider -+25% armor pen randoming selection.
Speaking of -+25% random penetration, and since there is no random in computing but only what is programed, is it posible to program E100 gun so it always pens 25 % more and never 25% less. (kinda like IS7 does now) and also that it always deals full damage!

Listy, on 23 January 2012 - 02:43 PM, said: curses, this one's smart! He saw through my plans to get Camo values out of WG.net!
Ok lets be more direct.
1)Are the plans to release all Camo values still on track? If so when will we get them?
If not, why not? This is a critical piece of information for TD players. Withholding it just hurts TD's even more than they already are, and leaves you open to accusations of bias and stealth nerfing. It also generates ill feelings and distrust amongst the players.
Thanks.

Khosrau, on 23 January 2012 - 02:42 PM, said: Thanks for replying Overlord.
This answer however is not clear to me. Did you confirm that with the VS you can aim faster than with EGLD or did you just confirm there is a flaw in my logic?
So is the VS the better choice for heavies when you can only mount one (for meds it's a given I think). I tend to mount VS instead of EGLD on my US heavies, but if 20% faster aiming with VS because of 20% smaller reticule is a myth I might replace VS for EGLD since I do not fire much on the move.
Thanks for your time.

Listy, on 23 January 2012 - 02:13 PM, said: Hullo Overlord, some questions.
1: What effect does water have on tanks in the game (If any)? For example Camouflage and armour?
2: Will the T-30 have its camouflage value increased when it moves to the TD line, if so what too? If not what are its camo values now? How do these compare to the other Tier 9 TD's? I only ask because Camo is a vital stat for TD's and at high tiers its a very cut throat world where you need to know.
Thanks.
