I'm only asking becouse I refreshed the page at least 2 times a day to check if it's anything related to WoT when you where posting things there.
PM me if interested, thanks.
Oh, and ETA for news on the 0.7.2 patch at the in development page?

Khosrau, on 23 January 2012 - 01:43 PM, said: Great, good call I think.
Q: Will the T34 be buyable from the store when premium?
Q: Did the M4A3E2 experience a noticable drop in performance since the new HE mechanics? Before I noticed most Jumbo's had the 105mm howitzer gun, now when I see them they most have the M1A2 (I changed it too). If there is a noticable performance drop, will you consider to repair it? Without the 105mm gun it's just an Easy 8 without the speed and mobility, thus largely useless in high tier battles because it can't flank and it's armor can't make a real difference.
Q: Is there any reason to mount an Enhanced Gun Laying Drive instead of a Vertical Stabilizer (when you can mount both). As I understood it, the reticule when having EGLD is 10% smaller when standing still while vertical stabilizer reduces the reticule 20% in size (thus leading to 20% shorter aim time I guess?). Or is there a flaw in my logic here? Does the reticule widen again when standing still or stopping to turn the turret with V.Stab?
Also, I would like to express my gratitude for giving us the Tetrarch, taking measures to reduce arty spam (much better now), raising battle tier of Type 59 + sale stop, bringing tracers back and giving us some new cool and very different French tanks. Game has noticably improved since last 2 patches, so well done. I'm a happy tanker and will definately continue p(l)aying for the forseeable future
Really looking forward to 7.2! Hope you can release some more info about new US heavies and TD's soon...

Q: I have been looking though the EULA and ToS, I cannot find any rules about Insult and Provocation. As this is an option in the reporting system I was wondering what constitutes Insult and Provocation. Can you elaborate?
Q: I have seen that there is a lot banning activity due to bots and leechers, is something similar on the way for Insult and Provocation?

yourgreatestfear, on 23 January 2012 - 12:24 PM, said: Why is it, that almost all people I ask noticed that accuracy stats now seem less important? Took some time, but more and more hitratios don't reflect high accurate guns anymore. I did some training battles and can't make out advantages of better accuracy values unless they exceed 0.1 difference.
What did you changed in the last update(s)? And more important: Why?
Do you think making all mechanics even more random would actually improve gameplay experience?

Szturmi, on 23 January 2012 - 11:48 AM, said: As I know Type 62 will be introduced as VI tier light tank. Is it possible to have it in higher tier (or excluded from low tier battles)? Such late model in so low tiers will completely ruin already dissapearing WWII feeling. You know, those PZIV's, T-34's or Shermans fighting with 1960's tank... To be honest maybe it would be good to ask EU/NA communities if we want this tank at all. I am sure people here would prefer some European/USA WWII premiums, not Chinese.

cedars, on 23 January 2012 - 10:57 AM, said: Dear OL,
Q1. Will WG consider re-designing MM so that it is a simple mirror match up (having the exact same tanks, arty etc on opposition means perfect 'balance')?
(With 40k people frequently on server, wait times for a mirror match up should be less than 2 mins, unless a platoon takes very strange mix in which case they should expect longer delays - 2 mins wait time will not be a problem for anyone even if they claim otherwise )
Q2. Will WG consider some new ingame features such as tanks having a basic tech tree that be unlocked with new experience earnt in battle? so as a battle progresses the most successful tank get some (limited) new features it can use. These features could be anything from purely cosmetic like a new colour, or a symbol to something like a faster reload time or even off map artillary barrage or a recon sweep of an area of the map.
(The addition of a symbol could help both your own team and opponents by seeing which player is most effective and giving some position to lead from helping the team play, and opponents can see which tank they should kill!)
Thanks.

Reklaw, on 22 January 2012 - 06:04 PM, said: It's odd we haven't gotten any news at all on anything from 7.2. The EU and RU development page just have "next update: version 7.2" on them. The NA site (which seems halfway abandoned, almost as much as the forums, by the way) still has the 7.1 "the French are coming" information on it.
When will we have news on when it's coming, what's going to be in it, details on on those details, what all the new skills will be, what the characteristics of the M103 and T110 will be, how many maps are being added and modified, what tanks are being packaged, whether the new TD trees are being added and everything else? Ever since the 7.0 debacle, the whole update process has been incredibly confusing and increasingly mysterious. The only information I ever find about it is in the Russian Q&A thread, which is usually just people asking about Type 59s and why their IS-7s aren't being buffed again.
A lot of NA people are coming here to find their news, on a related note. We have no one to answer questions or address concerns, and it's gotten to the point that our players are actually using our Q&A thread to answer one another's questions in a representative's place, and to banter about how our forum is a developer's ghost town. It's very disrespectful to the entire server, and shows that WG obviously isn't concerned about what we have to say about anything; they just want our money. Even if that's not true, it has the appearance of being true because you're completely inactive on a public scale. That equates to bad PR, lost profits. I'd honestly be surprised if anyone in Wargaming's office could answer the question "What are the primary concerns of the NA server group right now?" Whoever that guy is that replaced you obviously can't handle the job, as he hasn't even read the Q&A thread in a month, and was absent for several weeks before that.

I have question considering T95. I know that you redesign his side armor as you announced it on your blog (sad to hear that you stoped posting that but on the other hand I understand why and it was done in 7.1 and some "problems" for me as a driver started (I have 588 battles played). Suddenly one per three shots putting fire on my vehicle . And my question:(maybe some Top Secret ) - you also redesign T95 back making it move vulnerable and more flammable??

angecielfrench, on 22 January 2012 - 07:35 PM, said: hi overlord,
1- why the turret is not increasing the thickness of shielding tier French 10 (max 100mm)? because the problem is too easy for everyone (all tier) draws on the French turret .
2-
French steel (1960) 1mm = German steel 1.3 to 5 mm (1942)
Hull Armor 170/30/30(mm) = 221 to 850 / 39 to 150 / 39 to 150(mm)
Turret Armor 100/50/30(mm) = 130 to 500 / 65 to 250 / 39 to 150(mm)
Historically wise, French steel and fabrication methods were of a superior quality, comparable to 1942 Germany's quality, before they ran low on rare elements to make high quality steel. A lower amount of French steel was better than piss-poor quality Soviet steel, or late war German steel.

 ZorinWarfield, on 22 January 2012 - 02:56 PM, said: Yes, the match maker will pull players into the battle that would not be added by the match maker following the match making table. Like a StuGIII, it would not end up in tier 9 heavy battles. So these platoons actively ruin the battle for their own team, the poor guys being pulled into a too high battle tier on the opposite team and you do not acknowlegde that as a problem.
So, follow up question: Will you devs listen to the community and finally start to set us as first priority and not your ideas of what is good for us? or Is the community management hear to help us being heard by you guys or just to run at 150% in appeasement mode?

Wouldn't that be something nice at least once?

if I'll have one in garage when the US tech tree change arrives:

2. the T30 in my garage will get replaced by the new tier 10 heavy tank; in essence I'll lose the T30
why I ask this, because of some new info from the RU forums that is unclear or not properly translated
