The shell Normalization can be change the vertical or just only horizontal?

"Slightly reduced normalization for AP and ACPR shells."
what do you mean exactly?
Now this value 10. The patch after how much will be?
Hello
I do not know the things that work in maybe Did you not notice the question or can not be answered for each one.
Ok only if at least tell me where they will because I would like to know.
[ but I do not understand completely all this normalization. Maybe if you could help I'd appreciate it very ]
[First step I read through wot wiki: WoT Battle Mechanics
Shell Normalization When a shell hits armor, and if it does not bounce/ricochet, it will dig in and try to penetrate at a 90 degree angle. Typically, it only increases the angle of attack by about 10 degrees.
Ok but i dont understand the Example3 Why reduce the armour slope???
You fire a Shell with 100mm of penetration at a target 100m away. The target is at a 45 degree attack angle to you, and his armor has a slope of 30 degrees from the vertical with a thickness of 75mm. Let's go through the steps. 2.Shell is normalized. The attack angle is increased by 10. Target is at a virtual 55 degree attack angle to you (Ok) and a slope of 20 degrees.(?Why)
The in roule of Normalization not read this: slope armour reduce by 10º
Maybe this is not the normalization?
Only just the all projectile not full linear passes through? It's a circa 10-degree curve?

Trent, on 05 December 2011 - 03:54 AM, said: Q1:
From the blog:
"Q: What happens to our equipment (Vents) on the GW Tiger when this patch is released? Does it just get moved to our Depot?
A: Or it will be sold at its buying price."
From the phrasing it seems that it wasn't decided yet at the moment of posting, and although it seems on test2/3 it was indeed refunded - is this refund 100% sure now for the 7.0 release? (And this question is about refund for both GW Panther and GW Tiger.)
The reason I'm asking is because refund seems like the only sensible thing to do here - simply demounting and putting into depot for free wouldn't be enough, because some players (including me) just won't have the use for Ventilation Class 3 anymore, now that both GW's are open top; and should they knew beforehand of this change, they would never have bought Vents in the first place.
Q2:
From 7.0 test3 patch notes:
"Slightly reduced the absorption of HE damage by armour for non-penetrating HE hits"
So it seems that the damage absorption coefficient (1.3 in the formula below) gets lowered - can you tell us the new value?
HE Damage = (Shell Damage / 2) * (1 - Distance / Splash Radius) - Armor Thickness * 1.3 * Spall Coefficient
Q3:
Since lowering armor absorption coefficient (see Q2) means lowering spall liner efficiency, because it saves me less HP per hit in absolute values - will spall liners be refunded, too?
The reasoning behind this refund exactly the same as presented in Q1.

If so it´s a good idea because certain maps really s***! My question is: is it possible to block vehicles types for some maps? Like putting arty in Himmelsdorf for example.

wsatnutter, on 04 December 2011 - 12:54 PM, said: overlord when will the final final changes for release 7 be released onto the forum and how soon afterwards will the new patch be implemented
the reason i ask it has taken time to learn to play the IS4 and the Tiger2 in different ways so it would be good to learn what is definatly going to happen with the tanks so we can retune our battle brains and be ready to take a tier 9 which will become a tier ten tank out to play with the big big boys

Have you ever considered to change how damaged "ammo rack" works. Instead of increase in loading time some users thought it would be better to decrease number of shells. Is there any plan to implement this?

Plasma_Fire, on 04 December 2011 - 03:42 AM, said: Overlord
Why did you decide that the KV-5 tier 8 tank will not take part in tier 10 games because of its low powered gun, while tier 7 tanks like the Tiger I, which has a lower powered gun, lower HP and is over all less capable than the KV-5 do get to take part in tier 10 games...
After all the match making system would always match the KV-5 to a tank that is in the opinion of WG a fair and balanced match

RelicShadow, on 03 December 2011 - 04:38 PM, said: So I took a little time to test ALL of the language packs.
Here are the results (images below)


Quote The language packs for 7.0 are below. Feel free to select and download the one for your language.
Working.
EN http://cdn1.worldoft...ontent_en.patch
DE http://cdn1.worldoft...ontent_de.patch
FR http://cdn1.worldoft...ontent_fr.patch
Not working.
ES http://cdn1.worldoft...ontent_es.patch
IT http://cdn1.worldoft...ontent_it.patch
PL http://cdn1.worldoft...ontent_pl.patch
Installing these language packs (Spanish, Italian, Polish) will result in bugs with selling tanks, cap bar, intermittent end of battle results, etc.
After downloading the below files they need to be uncompressed using a uncompressing program such as 7z or Winrar.
They will not open automatically with programs such as winrar, because they they are called .patch and not called .rar
You could either rename the file to end in .rar and then open it with winrar, Or run winrar select "File"/"open"/"all files" find the language patch, and then manually open it.
Once open the file is to be extracted to the world of tanks 7.0 directory that you installed the public test client to.

1. you kill an IS-3 with your E8 Sherman from 100% with ~15 shots
2. you kill an IS-3 with your E8 Sherman from 100% by "ammo racking" him
Do you get the same amount of xp and credis in both cases? If there is a difference, which one gives more xp and credits?
