 Snortsch, on 18 December 2011 - 09:20 PM, said: Hold your horses, he just wanted an answer from Overlord, when 7.2 is
coming out. But since Overlord said that he going to be tight lipped
about release dates, you shouldn't expect an answer.
But since 7.1 will be coming out in January, it's save to say, that
7.2 won't be out before Februrary.
Now my question, when will the testserver for 7.1 be up again?

 Tuccy, on 18 December 2011 - 06:34 PM, said: Because you missed the iportant thing about M4A3E2 Assault Tank - in comparison to both older pattern M4A3 (glacis 51mm at 56°) and newer pattern (64mm @ 47°) it had 102mm @47° glacis, lower front hull up to 4.5" (114mm) rounded, and turret front of 152mm with 178mm mantlet. IE it was pretty resistant even to 88mm L/56 gun.
Check the armor stats (and compare them with ordinary Shermans) here:

 Mungo73, on 18 December 2011 - 06:27 PM, said: So if T110 might come with M103 in 7.2, I need to start grinding for T30 now.
How big is the chance that 7.2 does NOT come in January? (would like to estimate how much exp / day I need to grind to get T30 in time, release in February would be best).

 EickhardtSr, on 18 December 2011 - 05:27 PM, said: My original post was:
Overloards answer was:
1. No. It was done for the sake of gameplay and players' convenience. Not planning to change the current situation.
Okay! Assume I was incorrect in my assumption again, but as I read Overloards answer he says that it is so and will stay that way... So in what way are we incorrect...?
And for the sake of it, in game I can't tell the difference in speed of the different shells, nor can I see that the gun is elevated according to the selected ammunition...

rumcajsek, on 18 December 2011 - 02:36 PM, said: Questions and answers: Here's one:
How it is possible, that 88mm cannon from my VK3601H had "we didn't penetrate their armor" while shooting M7 Priest front armor from 50-60m?
4 possible answers:
- Wrong commander commentary (bug).
- Wrong M7 Priest armor info (bug).
- Unnknown for any player parts of M7 priest armor that has infinite(?) armor. (disinformationg players (unfair)).
- Just bug.

genai, on 17 December 2011 - 06:44 PM, said: So now that 7.1 is getting delayed like everything always is, and you no longer need to cut content to "release it this year"... will M103 make a comeback to 7.1?
Seems logical that content that was removed so you could meet certain deadlines is brought back now that those deadlines no longer matter?
Hope dies last...

JayJay4466, on 17 December 2011 - 11:27 PM, said: Hi Overlord
I am somewhat concerned that your initial response to the recent difficulties regarding roll-out of the 0.7.0 patch has appeared to be an attempt to become more vague with us (your customers) about what the problems were, what was being done about them, and, in particular, the time-frame for addressing them.
Can you assure us that, in future, you will continue to provide frequent, accurate information and to report specific target dates for updates/changes?
The danger, otherwise, is that it becomes more difficult for customers to hold you to account as they will have no way of knowing exactly what you are promising to provide and when, and may also lead to less "urgency" from yourselves regarding implementation of updates(you do, after all, have a number of balls in the air, so to speak, with other projects).
Thank you.

Q1 Why is not standing/fallen trees treated like bushes so that players can hide behind them?
Q2 Could we expect larger maps (with more players per side) next year?
Q3 Since everything got a bit delayed, will new TD line for GER be released Q1 2012?
Q4 When do you think the physx addon will be released?
Q5 Are there any plans on making use of the "recoil-absorbers" (ex. GW Tiger's satellite dish) that many (mainly high tier) SPGs' are modeled/equipped with?
(If yes how would they affect the gameplay of SPGs?)
Hope nothing has been asked&answered too many times before

zmeul, on 18 December 2011 - 09:26 PM, said: @Mr_Weedy
so, let me get this straight
all the time WG delayed 0.7.0 release for EU was "your" fault? meaning 3rd party translators
then I don't understand something, the translators are not official WG employees, then why patches aren't released in english then in time the locales are implemented?

Manie_de, on 19 December 2011 - 07:31 AM, said: Is this 0.7.0 update with or without the on Overlords blog mentioned bugs ?
- Fixed bug with default ammunition resupply after the battle;
It's a v.7.0 bug, when system doesn't save your ammo choice and sometimes restores basic ammo selection.
- Fixed bug when it's impossible to close private channels;
Again v.7.0 bug.
- Fixed client-to-server asynchronization upon the vehicle's destruction by ramming;
Again v.7.0 bug.
- Fixed bugs with vehicle armouring: IS-3 (top front turret), IS-4 (side hull and 122mm BL-9 gun mantlet), T95 (side hull);
IS-3 and IS-4 are getting their 7.0 bugs fixed, eg the latter had his side armour decreased by 20mm. Restoring the correct values.
- Fixed bugs in vehicle models: Object 212, Pz VI Tiger, T32, Grille, Pz II Luchs, VK3001P, Löwe;
Just visual stuff.
- Fixed bugs on maps: Fjords, Marsh, Steppes, Malinovka;
A couple of map bugs got fixed.
- Fixed the red "Texture not found" square replacing clan logo when changing settings;
Introducing the display of clan logos. It hasn't been added in 7.0, since some rework was required.
If these bugs aren't fixed, why should we be happy to get a bugged 0.7.0 version ?

Lors de la dernière mise à jour , il me semble qu'il était indiqué qu'on pouvait la charger simplement via le launcher ( pour un noob en informatique  ..ca m'a bien plu ) mais aussi : via le torrent !!  
Koidonc c'est-y donc un torrent en langage Geek ??? C'est plus rapide que par le launcher ?Sera t il en activité pour la 7.0 ?Si oui, quelle est la marche à suivre ?

aymeric, on 18 December 2011 - 12:06 PM, said: C'est naze de leur part , d'un côté , ils nous ont laissés le test à peine 1 jour , moi qui ai téléchargé le test vers midi ,je n'ai pu tester que les 5 premiers chars jusqu'au BDR G1B car dans la journée j'ai eu des imprévus comme beaucoup de gens .
Pourquoi le test a été stoppé ? on a eu aucune infos.... un probable GROS nerf des chars français ?
Moi je me rappelle le T44 et IS7 ... ceux la ils en ont pris, du temps à être finalement nerfés et encore,  l'IS7 reste quand même blindé comme un ... Maus de face ( y en a qui vont dire "bla bla il est naze l'IS7" mais assurez vous , j'ai un T30 j'ai du mal à le percer à + de 200m et même au corps à corps).
Bref ,je suis un peu deg' de cette mentalité à stoppé un serveur juste parce que (et c'est sûrement la principale raison) des russes se plaignent de se faire poutrer par les AMX 120 mm en IS7 , LES GARS , FAUT UN PEU EQUILIBRER LE JEU SINON A QUOI CA SERT DE COMBATTRE UN IS7 ????

EickhardtSr, on 17 December 2011 - 01:50 PM, said: As it is now the velocity of shells are the same for HE, AP, APCR and HEAT, which isn't the case IRL, but in game it's the same. You can see the tracers as they are flying towards your enemy or at yourself, one can actually avoid getting hit if the tracer is spotted in due time. IMO this is not right! There should be a significant difference in the velocity HE/HEAT and AP/APCR in the game. Shooting AP/APCR should give an instant hit
Question 1:
a) Will you add anything like that...?
b ) If not, why not...? As I understand it, you are using the RL velocity to calculate penetration etc.
And for tracers! IRL they can only be seen from behind in a narrow angle and not as in the game from the front. The only thing you will see (Maybe) is a muzzle flash and/or gun smoke (Less on German guns.)
Question 2:
a) Will you change that...?
b ) If not, why not...?
One could argue that there also is a difference in each country, gun and ammunition type, regarding velocity, ballistic and smoke generated, but that might stretching it at bit to much
