Quote Does terrain affect the turning speed of the tanks?

Jeremy Taylor: Terrain does affect the vehicle's turning speed as well as top speed and acceleration rates.

Quote Yet if a bigger tanbk is going at max speed at it runs into a smaller tank and moves it a little bit back or to side and such, right?

Jeremy Taylor: The absence of collision momentum when two tanks bump into each other is historically correct.

The_Galloping_Platypus, on 17 March 2010 - 01:05 AM, said: Also, I was wondering what sort of restrictions there would be(spaces), as well as whether you could name individual tanks(navyfield style).

Jeremy Taylor: The rules concerning ingame nicknames will be introduced by us a bit later. In World of Tanks , fighting vehicles will not have personal names. However, players will be allowed to use some custom features that will distinguish tanks from each other (e.g. drawings and insignias on panzer hulls).

Dhante, on 17 March 2010 - 08:03 PM, said: 1st. What will experience be acquired from; kills? team-work? team-victories?
2nd. What do levels actually do to your Tank?
What I mean is.. isn't a level 10 Panzer II Ausf.C still just a Panzer II Ausf. C maybe with better crew and the same speed, armor, main gun, etc.. ????
3rd. Will experience be a pool the player uses on individual crew members as he wishes?
-or-
Will it be - For Example, A loader and gunner gaining experience according to how many rounds are loaded and then fired accurately or a driver and Engineer for distance covered and number of repairs, etc...?

Jeremy Taylor: 1. At the moment we can't reveal all the factors affecting a player's XP growth rates. In outline, experience is assigned for destroyed enemy vehicles, damage caused to the enemy vehicles, successful battle reconnaissance, active participation in battle and team victory.
2. All fighting vehicles of one specific nation are divided into ten levels. In the German tank tree LeichteTraktor refers to the 1st level tank and MAUS refers the 10th level tank respectively. Have a look at the German tank tree to get the idea of leveling in World of Tanks
3. The crew upgrading is completely under the player's control. The player is free to spend his experience on crew members the way he wants.

Jeremy Taylor: We are working on this concept and considering various options. It's quite possible that 1st and 2nd level tanks will be fighting on their own separated from "tougher guys" .

Dhante, on 17 March 2010 - 03:30 AM, said: 1st- I prefer free tageting like in Battlefield1942 but sometimes it's less frustrating to have MMO type lock-on.
I read that there will be lock-on or auto-target-following by right clicking on enemy tank.

Jeremy Taylor: In World of Tanks the targeting is free. It means that the player is aiming manually at the enemy fighting vehicle and the vehicle’s modules. Right-clicking is used to lock on the already selected motionless target for camera rotating purpose.

Quote 2nd- I haven't gotten it clear in my brain yet, I read that it's 3rd person view and one person for each tank in a very early thread, then I read something about crew-members more recently.
Is it one player per tank?

Jeremy Taylor: One tank on the battlefield refers to one player.

Quote Is a crew-member really just a sub-system or tank function (like- radio operator, driver, gunners, loader, etc..) that can be knocked out? If so can you give me examples of crew members / sub-systems that you will include or exclude? And will they be targetable also?

Jeremy Taylor: The crew consists of 2-7 members depending on the type of a vehicle. The crew includes gunner, radio operator, loader, mechanic and commander. Each crew member will be leveled up individually and can be knocked out.

Quote My question is - It's free, BUT, Is there anything that is paid for like levels, items and equipment perks?

Jeremy Taylor: The player can purchase the premium account and premium tanks. Game credits, custom and extra-items are also purchasable. We believe that the absolute majority of players will get tons fun without investing a dollar.

Quote When you say leveling does that mean your Avatar / Character levels and his statistics affect all you tanks? OR Do you level each tank individually? OR Both? OR _?

Jeremy Taylor: The fighting vehicle is the main character in World of Tanks. You may level up your tank individually and level up a number of fighting vehicles at the same time. Your garage may contain up to five fighting vehicles of different nations.

Link on message: #3034

Jeremy Taylor: World of Tanks has a very straightforward control system which assumes only keyboard and mouse using for the moment. In the battle you will use the mouse for targeting, shooting and moving the camera, and reporting the enemy location on the mini map. The standard WASD keyboard set is used to move your vehicle. The keyboard is also used to change the types of shells, use the battle chat, see the teams' structures and for some other important gameplay functions. There are also some fast keys used for making orders, order confirmation, support requesting, etc.
The control system and interface are developed to be functional and extremely easy at the same time to allow the players to focus totally on the warfare itself. We will be discussing the possibility of joystick implementing for playing World of Tanks after release.

in some scenes of the videos the camera moves freely but the turret is fixed on the tarted. and in anothere scene the same happens and then target gets behind a building (or a tree i dont remember) and that "lock"is lost.another interesting thing is shown here..seconds later the target reapears and the player locks again on the target without pointing the camera on it.like he's pressing a button. all these while the camera was looking around free.

Jeremy Taylor: This is an auto-aiming feature that allows focusing and locking the turret on the aim and rotating the camera simultaneously. This feature is carried out by pressing the right mouse button. You don't "break my balls" by asking the questions

Link on message: #3026

Jeremy Taylor: World of Tanks embraces the history of tanks building of the 20's-50's. For that moment we have in our collection three nations that you will see in beta: USSR, Germany and USA. More tanks of these nations will be introduced after the release. Moreover, we are planning and we will include the fighting vehicles of the 20's - 50's from many other countries. For the moment WW2 tanks and core gameplay are what we are completely focused on. We will not include the modern tanks into the game (at least in the nearest future) as it would hurt the gameplay deeply. Still however, you will see the tanks in our game that didn't even stepped on the WW2 battlefields as existed only as prototypes.

Jeremy Taylor: Terrain effects have been already introduced into the game. Heavier tanks have advantages in moving through some kinds of obstacles. While haystacks, hedges, benches and etc. may be destroyed by all moving vehicles, some obstacles (such as very big trees) may be knocked down only by more powerful tanks. We have introduced the empiric rule for the tree diameter/tank weight ratio. For instance, the tank with total weight of 30 tons will be able to knock down the tree with 30sm in diameter.
Muddy areas naturally affect the tanks' mobility. The vehicles' characteristics including total weight, engine power, track width and speed influence the tank's mobility when crossing through such muddy areas. The weather effect that will be introduced later on will affect not only the vehicle's velocity and maneuverability but the whole gameplay itself due to the visibility range decrease.
All tanks' motion characteristics are developed regarding the corresponding characteristics of their real prototypes and realism/gameplay ratio needs.

Syllas, on 12 March 2010 - 06:41 PM, said: i was watching the videos on Youtube and i noticed something interesting.
while the tank was moving around i noticed that the targeting reticle was also moving around along with the camera.
BUT no matter were the tank and the reticle were going the turrent was fixed on the target. so,is it a LOCK ON ability? so you can move you camera and inspect the field?
i also noticed a red cross or something like that inside the reticle slowly clossing around the target.

Jeremy Taylor: You move the camera with the mouse and the camera is tied to the turret. The tank is moved by WASD. Thus, changing the camera view you're rotating the turret automatically. Naturally, the turret rotation speed is not that fast as the speed of camera moving, so pointing out an area with the aim with your camera the turret and targeting reticle reach this aim in a while automatically. Once captured the aim is outlined in red. And yes, you can move you camera and inspect the field.
This red cross is focusing on a target making your fire more accurate.

Jeremy Taylor: Let me remind you that the Allies were represented by more than two countries. If we take the USSR, US and UK and analyze their tank building approaches we can see that they differ immensely concerning many aspects. That is why each country deserves its own tank tree because each country's tank engineering is a unique phenomenon in the history of tank building.

paladin21, on 09 March 2010 - 07:10 PM, said: For clarification: the design constraint is on technology usage. When you say "technologies available till middle of 1940", how exactly are you drawing that limitation? Are we supposed to mix-n-match technology fielded on other vehicles, such as gun from this tank, chassis from that tank, etc., or are we allowed to design original implementations that might have been producible at the time given the relevant guidelines for a project? If we are allowed to design original pieces, is there some way to get a judgement call on what would/wouldn't be possible in a design before submitting a final copy? I'd hate to get disqualified for over-estimating what the engineers could have pulled off.

Jeremy Taylor: You are allowed to mix-n-match different parts of different fighting vehicles to construct your ideal tank. You are allowed to design original pieces, just bear in mind the limitation on the ages. You may consult with us whenever you find appropriate.
Images and layouts will be treated as the advantage in the contest.
