Antilogic, on 21 May 2011 - 05:19 PM, said: Slightly depressing responses by Overlord.
Sigh, anyway new question:
Can you include an clan wars messaging ablity, say you select a clan and you can send a message to their diplomats or whoever, and keep a message history of offical disussion between clans. Little more formal then randomly convoing people ingame.

Zieten, on 21 May 2011 - 03:57 PM, said: another question concerning the E-100 StuG
Q: are there already any plans or conceptions on how the StuG will play? it looks like a big Ferdinand, so if it plays like this it is just some sort of a JagdTiger clone. this would make it, imo, quite obsolete.


Just1ce, on 21 May 2011 - 05:17 PM, said: IF the design for the stug e100 will be chosen to be JT look alike will there be a possibility for a 175mm gun as an upgrade?
Because if it would then oh mighty god it would be a death bringer!
EDITED.


Korrigan, on 21 May 2011 - 07:09 PM, said: Ultimate Conquest/Clan Wars: Is it true that you only need the clan members for the chips and that you can use your highest 15 members's tanks in multiple battles per day (except maybe battles that happen at the same time?)
P.S.: I've seen that there are regions 2-7 that are currently inactive. Will they be enabled anytime soon?
And another question: Why are there so many neutral zones on the US server?

Action_IHOP7, on 22 May 2011 - 07:45 PM, said: Greetings
First I'd like to get this out of the way and say that the frequent answers to questions is admirable, good news or bad.
And now that that's done, question time.
One. When you reach a decision regarding map choosing, will you inform us of the answer and/or the reason behind the decision? (This also applies to the gun depression topic)
Two. Unless my info is severely outdated armor penetraion still has a 25% + or - added to the roll. If this is still the case, why was such a high value chosen?
And Three. (I'm 82% sure this has not been asked before). What does this "hardcore" mode include? Assuming of course that it is not a rumour.
That's all for now, drive safe.


harry_monkley, on 23 May 2011 - 01:30 AM, said: I read on the US forum that Storm (developement team) had posted on the Russian forum that the US heavy tank gun depression nerf was going to be rolled back.
I tried to check on the Russian forum, but the threads for the T32 and T34 had been cleaned, and I couldn't find it in the developers Q&A section.
Is there any truth in this or is it just a rumor?
And if it is true, how soon is the rollback likely to happen?


Xalard, on 22 May 2011 - 08:31 PM, said: 1. Are simple key macros, like having "track repair" key (4+5 in quick succesion) or predefined chat sentences allowed?

P1nhead, on 23 May 2011 - 12:40 PM, said: i may ask the following questions:
1.) Is there a chance that we get (soon™?!) rid of this very annoying "barrel up" when looking/standing at an House/Stone corner? Is that even considered to be "gone" in the (near) future?
2.) As we know the Tec-Tree's get revamped. Fine. Will we see a reduction in regards to Tiers in matchmaking earlier by any chance? (especially the downgrade from Panther I+II in Tiers)
3.) As we have a lot of "small clans" within WoT which are atm not able to participate in the Clan Wars, do we get the "Mercenary Feature" in the next 1-3 Month?
Thx for your time in advance, answers on this topic are highly appreciated!
Kind Regards,

Forgive me if this has been asked before.


harry_monkley, on 23 May 2011 - 02:47 PM, said: Thankyou for the prompt answer, I'm pleased it will happen but a little dissapointed with the timescale.
If I ask very nicely, is there any possibility at all that the hotfix to revert the nerf will be applied before the patch?
Please Overlord you are so hansome, intelligent and witty that I'm sure you could convince the powers that be at wargaming to do this so eloquently that they would not only apply the hotfix immediately but also give you a payrise for the positive PR boost it would create.
If this fails, who do I need to flatter/bribe/convince/beg to take this decision?


Sathorn, on 23 May 2011 - 02:40 PM, said: 1. Is there any plans to introduce model/skin changes in relation to:
- camo net (it would be a nice feature to see tanks equipped with camo net as a visible thing on tank)
- different destroyed models of tanks according to type of damage (in flames, with destroyed turret, or without turret etc etc)
2. Is it me, or after patch 6.4 number of xp need for t34 and t30 raised dramatically to 185/190k ?
3. Is there any plans to make all buildings destroyable?

Just asking, since i don't really know all the options a commander has at his disposal.

since 0.6.4 patch players on RU server can buy M4A2E4 (EU/NA closed beta test tank) as premium one in their shop for a 1500 Gold
Question - will EU/NA players be able to purchase RU closed beta tank ( KV-220) on similar terms ( as a premium tank in a shop for a some Gold)
Right now situation look a bit unfair

theta0123, on 20 May 2011 - 10:37 PM, said: Why does the US 203mm M1 gets 240mm armor penetration average and the 203mmBR-4 gets 266?
These are identical guns
This 26mm is needed to penetrate T9 tanks. Wich S51/Object 212 can. And M43 cant.. reliably

Sturmtiger_304, on 21 May 2011 - 01:09 AM, said: Three quick questions:
1: ETA on the mercenary info / deplyment, as the clan wars is already live?
2: Patch 6.5 / 6.6 written at the patch thread soon? :>
3: The KV-5 is currently overperforming the Lowe, both in terms of speed, manuvreability, firepower & armor. With the KV-5 I currenty have, I got absolutly no problems destroying the Lowe by shooting at it's glacis plate, which I think is like 20mm. It feels like it, 100% of all my shots are going trough there, at any angle. This is true, yes?

han_solo_79, on 19 May 2011 - 10:33 PM, said: Dear Overlord I've got question concerning Clan Wars. Are plans to diverce it a littlebit. In current model Clan Wars favorise high tier teams i.e. in three today battles my clan encountered clan with one T10 tank and five T9 tanks (twice) and clan with four T9 tanks when we got mostly T6-T7 tanks (with excption to my Lowe). Maybe on some map should be tier limit assigned, maybe on some less profitable maps should be cap to tier 6 on other tier 8 and most profitable without tier limit as today. In current model Clan Wars is only for premium users with very high tiers (there is no point limit...), without tier limit (in your words, high tier are notprofitable in standard accounts) standard players have no chance with them.


Stormscion, on 19 May 2011 - 10:34 PM, said: Are you fixing rare bug that happens when you fire your gun and you see animation and the sound of the shell but server does not accept it and you actualy did not shoot ( shell still in the barrel no reload or damage to the enemy tank ) , so you need to shoot again if you know what i mean.


ptegan, on 19 May 2011 - 10:58 PM, said: Overlord, is there a specific forum where we can give clan feedback after tonights first matches ?


finker_pl, on 19 May 2011 - 11:07 PM, said: Thank you for your answer. Excuse me, but idlike to clarify it. So
Clan leaders and treasurers can transfer gold from clan treasury to any clan member. But clanmembers cannot transfer gold, and they wont be able to do that, between them. Right?
Then why there is inactive button with Transfer Gold, when you click right mouuse button on your clanmate in garage?

CrazY_, on 19 May 2011 - 11:23 PM, said: I don't know where to ask, sorry if here is not the place. Is it normal to win max of 2000 credits per battle when the next tank costs 190 000.Am i doing something wrong ot this is how the game works. Im not trying to be mean (the game is awesome) but it will take forever for players to advance if they don't pay with real money of course.


deralky, on 20 May 2011 - 12:33 PM, said: Yes but only the Clans with alot of T10 and T9 get this territories and the other Clans cant get any because they cant win against them so why not a restrictions from max 90 Points like in companie battles?
at the moment some Clans own 5 territories because they had easy fight against Clans which have not so much T10/T9


desacred, on 20 May 2011 - 12:35 PM, said: Welcome Overlord.
I have few questions:
Does after full three release we will have choice to get back xp / money spent on tank (for example T34, T30) which will be erased / moved (like soft-wipe) or just we will got it on another slot in garage.
If the second option from above is true do we have to got it in garage or just we need to get it discovered with all his elements ? (In my humble opinion its good idea to give players choice for those two options).
How about ROF we see now on tank spec - this is basic ROF for max crew or ROF with all add-ons like rammer, ventilation, etc. ?
Beside why those value didn't change when we train our crew and change add-ons (like gun damage after change)? Will it be fixed ?
Thanks.

Ar vieglajiem un vidējiem ātrajiem tas ir pat ļoti ok, jo sevišķi tad, kad ir artilērija karalaukā.
Kā ir ar lēnākiem gan kustības gan pārlādēšanas ziņā tankiem?
Vienkārši novēroju tādu lietu, ka KV to dara vienmēr, t.i. apstājas lai izšautu, cik esmu novērojis.
Es protams apzinos, cik man prasa laiks pārlādēt un kāda būs tēmēšanas kļūda šaujot braucienā, taču, ja tas ir vienīgais iemesls un tehnika netiek bojāta, kā tas būtu dabā, neredzu iemeslu to dažriez nedarīt.
Kā tur īsti ir?

Like, landing zones get a maximum of 85 tiers, normal zones 120 tiers, key get no limit/150 tiers. That would allow clans not made out of powergamers actually play a bit. It's hard to defeat a team with 10 IS-7 and 5 IS-4 when all you have are tier 6-8...

Tbh.. Its working. More or less. But its far from being good, i think the camovalues should be re-aranged, especially the bushes and their bonus. Dont remove it, but what about granting a bonus only if you are stationary for lets say 4-5 seconds, and "deactivate" the camobonus once moving/shooting?

On my SU-152 the first second and third gun seems to have the same problem. Every now and then even at close range my shots are going through (seeing the tracer) target without making any damage whatsoever. Proper shots at hull, sides, so no chance to miss `em especially at close range. The problem is quite annoying because the bloody things are not cheap and to waste `em like this is just not acceptable

It stil feels bugged in some ways, seems like tank destroyers can now use the benefit of a camo net without any bush in front of them and I still dont like the fact that tanks dont appear when they are firing, even if they are out of max view range.
I dont know. I think the whole system needs to be reworked from the ground up. It feels un-natural.

At around 80-100m from me there were small bushes, where this TD headed. Once reaching them, he disapeared and all I could see, was shells going out from the bushes hitting me. How's that "not" invisible?

Seems like it has gone from 1 extreme to another, how the hell can a tank get in range of me to light me up, and not be seen, with all of those things i just mentioned in my favour. Even after I was dead, nothing, we had people all along the front line, nothing. how? I like it more than it was, but still needs some improving.
