Jeremy Taylor: - One specific territory may be contested only once per day (there
will be myriads of territories in the final clan war mode
version)
- The clan can attack/defend with the same enemy only once per day (we are sure there will be no lack of clans)
- Surely, but regarding that there may be only two battles (attack and defense) with one and the same clan. If the clan A has already had conflict with the clan B they may not fight again during 24h. But clan A may fight with clan C, D, E... and so on.

better understanding of team cooperation and the game itself
But we will introduce PvE modes for

weight and the chassis capacity. You will not be able to install
the most powerful gun, better armoring and heavier turret all
together as they will exceed the accepted weight and chassis
capacity.
You will not be able to max out all the upgrades as this is not historically correct and would hurt the game balance. All the upgrades that are in theory acceptable in real life are acceptable in our game as well.

change your tank turret for more armored and at the same time with
wider range of view and increased rotation speed. Moreover, armor
adjusting would hurt the game balance significantly.

1. When upgrading your tank, is there some kind of limit to the points or is it just max all areas like firepower, armor, threads, radio etc.
2. Is there a limit to the points you can put in a tank. Let us say you have 5 upgrades as max for a light tank or do you keep on getting more and more points until all areas are maxed out?
What I am asking is, do you have to choose if you prefer speed over firepower or armor over speed?

Jeremy Taylor: You can choose between the points you want to upgrade, exact points
that fit your playing style most. Want to help your team as a scout
or just want to make your vehicle faster - upgrade your track. If
you find your firepower not good enough change your gun for
something more destructive first (e.g. from Flak30 L/115 to Flak38
L/112 when playing PZ.II). If you have enough credits for
increasing both speed and firepower - please upgrade both gun and
track. There's a certain set of upgrades for each functional
element.

day? for how long do you suspect? 2-3 hours? will there be an
attack limit, or limit on how many zones you can conqour a day?Jeremy Taylor: It will depend on the situation on the global map. Two individual
clans (A and B ) may have two battles (offensive and defense) with
each other and not more on the everyday basis. If you have the
conflict with the clan C - you start fighting with this clan.
Problems with clan D? Challenge them. And so on... The more clans
we'll have, the more conflicts will happen during the war each day,
the more challenges you will have to face each day. War is war, so
there will be no dearth of conflicts and politics. The more
detailed information will be revealed a bit later.
Most comfortable time is the evening regarding the time zone of contestable territory. If there's a fight for Vladivostok, the battle will be conducted in the evening in accordance with Vladivostok time zone. If there's a fight for, say, Wyoming the battle will be conducted in the evening in accordance with Wyoming time zone.

Jeremy Taylor: My bad, I expressed my idea not to clearly . I just pulled out a small final
part of the chain. For instance, to get VK3001H you have to start
with Leichtraktor (which looks like a dwarf comparing to a giant
like Tiger), then go to PZ.I, PZ.II or PZ.35(t.). From PZ.II you're
going directly to PZ.III, then PZ.III (A), and finally to PZ.IV.
After that you have to choose between two "paths": Leopard or
VK3001H... Oh gosh, it looks like I've gone too far . Don't make me expose this
information beforehand We're planning to publish the tree
of German tanks tomorrow.

Jeremy Taylor: We are planning to hold clan war battles in the evening time
regarding the time zone of the attacked territory. Each territory
has its real prototype on the world's map. The evening is believed
to be the most comfortable time for that purpose. For instance, if
there's a fight for, say, Berlin the battle will be conducted in

Jeremy Taylor: Team killing will be punishable, VERY unprofitable and experience
risky. Moreover, a team killer will risk the fact of becoming a
social outcast among community.

So technically, it could be used against tanks.

Jeremy Taylor: We don't have Sturmtiger in the current tank tree of German
fighting vehicles and you will not see it in beta, but it will be
definitely introduced in the following patches. We can't skip such
a well-known vehicle.

Quote yes..that was the *katyusha* or BM 13-16
but then again the Allied response was the T34 Calliope MLRS..which was basicaly a Sherman tank with rocket tubes on it

examining the chances of introducing the rocket artillery vehicles
or stationary rocket artillery in the following patches or after
the release.

engine shot or threads has been disabled. So you can kill them in
the repair period.
Maybe have fast light scout tanks to disable them then fast move away and let the artillery kill them.
That top - radio upgrade does that put a big antenna on your tank? Could make hiding very hard.

Jeremy Taylor: Everyone chooses his own tactics when operating the artillery. The
tactics you've outlined are very common too. However, taking out
scouts demands more skills than finishing the damaged tank during
its repair period - scouts are much faster than heavier tanks and
soooo annoying .
We didn't introduce big antennas; we see no need in them especially if regarding the gameplay.

let the floods of people fill up the game in one day . We can't predict the amount of
applications that will come and we'll have to dedicate some time to
your applications' analysis. Therefore we will be adding players
divided by groups into beta on regular everyday basis. Contest
winners will be among the first ones. Most dedicated members of our
community increase their chances to be the first luckiest too
. The rules for everyone else are the
same: the earlier you will send your application the earlier you
will get the key (if your application is OK, of course).
Application form will be published on our website when the beta is
officially announced.

tanks 
. You will not be able to customize
your tank in beta, but we will be adding different painting
features that will allow your fighting vehicle to distinguish
significantly from others. But a bit later. Now we’re completely
into game optimization, adding US tanks and other more important
activities.

paint your tank body (e.g. drawings, emblems, mottos, stripes) will
depend on you. But the types of camouflage (e.g. panzergrau type of
camo) will not be modified by you. You'll have to select those
camos from the list of available camo schemes.

Jeremy Taylor: Dear Community,
I've started this topic to get some information that will be very helpful both for us and you: what locations would be really interesting for you as World of Tanks soldiers? What kind of battles would you like to reproduce and take part in during our special historic events? Take your buddies in, the more ideas the better.
Who knows, maybe we will turn your wishes into reality

I had a little idea over the last weekend whilst in the middle of a drinking frenzy.
Are there/will there be any Armoured Recovery Vehicles in the game?They could fill a role as 'battlefield medics' for tanks, and a quick scan of wikipedia tells me that they were available during WWII.
Whatever the answer, I'm looking forwards to playing this game

Jeremy Taylor: Not in the nearest plans. Dynamism is one of the most important
factors we follow during the development process. We think that
Armoured Recovery Vehicles would hurt the dynamic gameplay of World
of Tanks at this stage.
