Joppsta, on 13 July 2011 - 07:40 AM, said: Pardon my ignorance since I'm no software/computer engineer but honestly, how difficult is it to actually change values of penetration, damage and whatnot in the code? I mean, if i were the code designer I'd have something spreadsheet-esque with boxes to input values. Is this what it's like? Because if it is then the rate at which needed buffs and nerfs are thrown around is a joke.
Otherwise, as i said in the beginning of this post, pardon my ignorance.

SmaSol, on 12 July 2011 - 08:18 PM, said: Overload,
while playing with my Panther II, I see as teammates/opponents three T-54 for two Panther II or for one Patton.
Is this a wrong impression that there are a lot more T-54s than the other tier 9 mediums ?

1) Is gun which can be seen here the 105mm L/100?
2) Will it be available for E75?

Thanks

IKerensky, on 12 July 2011 - 03:49 PM, said: Another questions about the KV conversion.
I have a KV with KV2 turret in my garage. All the module are researched, crew at 100%, only thing left to research is S-41. I have around 60-80.000 exp on this tank.
When the tank are split, I will have 2 KV on my garage, 1 KV1 and 1 KV2.
1- What will be the status of researched modules on both thoses tank ?
2- Where will my 60-80.000 exp points be allocated ? on the Kv-1 or on the Kv-2 ?
3- If the experience points are allocated on the KV1 and all the modules are fully researched does that mean I would have to pay gold to convert thoses exp into free exp to use them to keep researching the S-41 or would they automatically convert to free experience point ?

ToiletFool, on 12 July 2011 - 03:16 PM, said: I think the 'locking out' of tanks didn't apply to landing zones, could be wrong though.
On another note, I have some questions:
Q1. I've read somewhere (or have been told) that training a crew member in it's secondary skills helps him improve his primary skills; that is a 100% (Primair skill), 100% fire/camo/repair performs better then an 100% (Primairy), 50% fire/camo/repair, while the latter performing better then a simple 100% crew member without a secondary skills. I'm obvioulsy not talking about additional camo or repair bonuses, but an overall increasement in the tank's stats (RoF, view range, etc.). Myth or fact?
Q2. When will the new supertest begin or when is there a chance to sign up (if any)?

theSoon, on 12 July 2011 - 02:33 PM, said: question concerning USSR tree revision.
"Additionally players who have researched KV-2’s turret for KV will get a KV-2 with an extra garage slot and the KV-2 will be assigned a 100% crew."
does that mean only researching KV-2 turret will be enough for gaining extra slot and new KV-2 or there has to be KV with that turret bought and mounted in garage for gaining extra slot and new KV-2?

kpr_Wichura, on 12 July 2011 - 12:40 PM, said: One questions:
How commitern earn money for producing such terrible numbers of tanks that take role in Kursk Battle?
Answer is:
They took all fruits of earth from Eastern Europe farmers and barter it with Western countries for armory. Millions of people die becouse they have nothing to eat. But thanks to that we have a world amazing Tank Battle to which we salute. /irony

Please take a time before you comment with any historical fact. See all points of view... It is hard but it is smart.

brasidas422, on 12 July 2011 - 12:36 PM, said: At the end of the day this is about an event fought by soldiers on the ground, not a political endorsement of either side. I think they have done a great job with taking the politics out of this game. No swastikas OR hammer and sickles to be found anywhere in game. A lot of brave guys fought and died on both sides. You can find major faults with both regimes. If someone is that offended they should not be playing the game at all. I am sure both Soviet and German equipment was used to commit atrocities. Do we start banning equipment? Sheesh.

If an IS or Tiger (or any other higher tier vehicle) would not choose attack an hull downed T29, it would be a pussycat....
If the players knows what it is he/she doing with its vehicle, is the Vehicle still overpowered?
And what can be more nerfed from T29?

BTW - 30 exp and ~2% wins - is it clasyfied as OP or in margins acceptable for no adjustments?

Kartoffelmos, on 11 July 2011 - 11:16 PM, said: More questions about E-100:
1. How accurate will the 15cm L/38 be? I have heard that it'll act as a "shotgun", but I hope that isn't true. An inaccurate gun means that we need to get closer to the enemies before opening fire, and the Krupp turret isn't exactly a bouncer (especially the sides), nor is it small .
2. Will the "ears"/observation device of the Krupp turret be part of the hitbox? That is, will it count as a module (no damage to the tank if shot, but damaged module), or will it be a "part of the tank" (damage to the tank if shot, in addition to module damage)?
Have a nice day.

MaximusGR, on 12 July 2011 - 10:26 AM, said: Dear Lia, your argument is not valid from the moment you include Soviet aggesive operations in the game..the Soviet regime was equal to the Nazi one in brutality and ruthlessness, for every Auschwitz there were dozens of Gulag camps in Siberia..Just because a psychopath monster (Stalin) defeated another (Hitler) it doesnt mean we have to commemorate and praise the actions of either one of them.

 Dogmeat, on 12 July 2011 - 09:28 AM, said: "You do realise it will decrease accessibility of CW even further, right?"
The change will cause only a "2nd landing tournament". Big and well organized clans will beat the small ones in any circumstances, ie even if you would limit tier. They would have all 100% crew all equipment and gold ammo, and of course the knowledge and experience. It's just like any other MMOs. You don't go to raid in greens, do you?

 han_solo_79, on 11 July 2011 - 11:04 PM, said: Good idea, now clans move their tanks trough whole map without any penalty, from Russia to Ireland at instant. But in reality such a movement needs time, divisions cannot move trough Europe in one hour. Locking vehicles give some reality to clan wars. Even better would be locking tank and player to battlegroups which can move one province in turn, so each clan could fight/defend in max 6 provinces each day.
So now my question: to unlock Maus and T30 we need about 190k xp, to unlock IS7 we need about 180k xp. How many xp we should gather to unlock E100? And did you make final gun selection to E75?
Thanks.

Sixpack, on 11 July 2011 - 02:36 AM, said: 1. EU Questions & Answers:
Would it be possible to sort the entire Q&A section for specific categories to make it easier to search threw it to make sure that the question you want to ask hasn´t been asked already? At the moment it is rather difficult. Maybe something like: Soviet/German/USA/Game Mechanics?
2. Concerning the changes to the Panther for Patch 6.6
I shall assume that the new top gun for the Panther is going to be the 7,5cm KwK45/L100. Which will also be a tier 7 gun from then on.
What I would like to know about it is if you are actually testing this weapon in this new setup and if you can tell me how it is performing so far. Can it penetrate an IS-3 frontally like the 8,8cm/L71?
Will it get a damage boost? (It would basically feel like a peashooter at Tier7 with its current dmg per shell)
How are the repair costs going to be changed for the Panther with the new tier? Will it be in the same area as the VK3002(DB)? More expensive? Cheaper?
HP adjustment? (how much will it loose?)

Kaap, on 10 July 2011 - 12:24 PM, said: Taken from the GoHa.Ru interview:
A tier 10 heavy gets locked for multiple days when destroyed in a Clan Wars battle? It will benefit larger and larger clans to compensate for the frozen tanks thus Wargaming.net decreasing survivability of smaller clans. Who are you to decide I cant play my favorite tank in clan wars for a few days?
Is this true Overlord? Because I can tell you know, you're going to loose a lot of customers if you do that.

If i have the IS-4 at the time of the Russian tech tree change but have researched the IS-7 does the object 252 become elite ?
Also due to the tech tree change do i then have to fully research the tanks below the IS-4 i.e the ST-1 and KV-4, if yes at what point does the the old research from KV-3/IS-3 kick in ?
