Are we going to have active WG team on EU forums, like on the USA forums? I find it very bizzare, EU community is a few times bigger than USA and they still get it better support that we have here. They have daily posting developers and very active admins like Tanitha. Wish we can have it here too.
Some recent stuff: Tanitha posted very crucial info about dealing with AFK'rs, Botting etc.:
Forum Warning Points / Sanction System http://forum.worldof...69#entry2484869
The in game "Complaints" system http://forum.worldof...28#entry2478028
AFK/Bot Detection & Enforcement http://forum.worldof...04#entry2477904

These are all new and updated infos, while we have here none of it on EU site.

Mayor_D, on 20 August 2012 - 04:12 PM, said: guess Overlord is afraid of customers wrath, so he isnt here anymore. Hiding somewhere in Tundra.
But to be honest, how somebody, who never used E100, can know what e100 needs? I mean, it's a big tank, with a looot HP, damn goood armor and monster gun! Damn 750 av. dmg a hit!! Working as intended, no need to buff.
Same thing with JPE100. Devs were asked about ROF Buff, cause gun is not even half so good like opponents. Devs said: "you got a problem with the gun with almost biggest alpha in game? newb" Thing that the biggest alphas shoots twice a minute, and sometime shells disappear in scout tanks.. that is something they ignore.
The Question again. Whats with Superpershing shells? Almost every second penetration without dmg. I managed to hit ISU-152 in close fight... 5 penetrations in row without dmg. Shells Made in China?

Is anything planned to correct the massive amounts of penetration hits for no damage on the JPE-100?
I was in a training battle with my brother and forgot I had FRAPS running. Watch the video to see what happens. If this is not a bug then how can it be explained?

CosMoe, on 20 August 2012 - 01:44 AM, said: Hello Overlord,
1) Do you know about the effect of low shell velocity on weird shell behaviour (e.g. only detracking the enemy tank when the shell should have went through the whole tank)?
2) Could you please tell the guys responsible for the JagdPanzer E-100 that the buffs mentioned before in this thread (mostly improving the mobility) will be nice, but they should still look at the gun and its often strange and frustrating shell behaviour?
The last attempt at buffing the E100 was, in your words, "sad".
Please do everything you can to avoid such a thing again.
Edit: Also, when balancing for the next patch, please remember that with the new physics where a lot of new routes open up that also means that all slow tanks that can't defend themselves vs. flanking enemy tanks will have a much, much harder time! Especially the JagdPanzer E-100 will be much worse off in version 0.8 with his low mobility.

Overlord,
Please tell your guys not to "buff" E-100,leave it like it is. Either way nobody is going to play it anymore. I know real buffs are not an option because of that "ancestor incident" 70 years ago so remove german tree from the game and introduce another soviet tree from the mirror universe.

Jahrain, on 19 August 2012 - 12:22 PM, said: Hi,
I know this question has been asked hundreds, thousands of times, but I deem it so crucial that I will ask again:
Is there gonna be a limit for artillery in games ? Right now, the battles are swarmed with this vermin like a maggot-ridden cheese.
Though I am a arty-hater, I understand that there is a group (apparently quite large group) of players enjoying this strange class of easy-mode satelite-uplink vehicles, so the "No Arty Battle" is not an option. Must be quite fun, raining death from distance while you have the other hand free to eat your sandwich . But you have made it a bit too easy as it seems- it almost looks like there is more orbital cannons than actual tanks. Battles with eight or ten of these "I-was-afraid-to-go-into-battle-so-I-grew-an-espionage-satelite" vehicles are no rarity, sometimes the count grows to more than twenty.
While in lower counts arty can be funny, and on rare occasions it is even an asset for the team, in high concentrations as we experience now the battle loses much of its sense. There is not much point in advancing - even if the poor tanker is not blown off the map, he could not get the fight done - as there always would be a bunch of profiteers sitting in some bush behind him who get the spoils. Seen it countless times, over and over.
To cut it (sorry for the rant), the arty is overpopulated, just as it was in pre-0.6.6. Something should be done.

Dragokar, on 18 August 2012 - 07:56 PM, said: Hello Overlord,
is there a chance that the T26E4 Superpershing can get at least the VII  Ford GAN  560 hp engine? Right now a KV-5 feels more medium like this tank. It dont need a huge speed, but its not funny to be overtaken from a Tiger uphill It is really slow right now. The rest of the tank is fine for me, but just a little bit more horse power. Actually I saw more T26E4 camping than TDs.

Is WG planning to add any of these:
> Night maps , Sand or Snow Storm maps.
> HC mode.
> More useful equipment which brings visual and physical effects, like Extra armor plates, Sandbags, Bulldozer or Smoke launchers
   and bring old equipment visibly example. Camouflage net and periscope.
> Different Scopes to every tank and different type of zooming.
> More Modules.
> New sounds and voices like: Engine, Gun, Turret traversing, commander's commands, Tracks and suspension.
> Fix for 0 dmg penetrations.
> Different sizes and different types of explosions depending on what material shell hits and what is angle where shell comes from
   and what gun, and ammo type is used.
> Emblems for players and Nation flags.
> Better voicechat.
> Some kind system which makes teamwork more better and easier in random battle.
> Better holes and different sizes (depending on how big the gun is) into tank than "bird****" marks when you get penetrated by someones cannon
And does WG ever have developed or starting to develop any player suggestion like, maps, features and etc.

Vipez, on 18 August 2012 - 10:17 AM, said: Hi Overlord
In one of the latest videos SerB said that there wont any bot-modes because players would know how they drive and get easy kills and such stuff.
But what about a training mode with these bots? In traing you dont get any reward and even have to pay for repair So with this mode (beginners) could learn where to shoot at tanks and guys with more experience will just have some fun battles
It would be like " Open the traing room like normal and then somewhere is a button where you can choose the bots -team side , tank, difficulty, and if it plays def./ attack and such stuff- So we could have much fun
What do you think?

Dev: We're closin' for lunch.
Player: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this E100 what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Dev: Oh yes, the, uh, the big German one...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Player: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Dev: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Player: Look, matey, I know a dead tank when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Dev: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable tank, the E100, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Player: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Dev: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Player: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the tank) 'Ello, Mister tanky wanky! I've got a lovely fresh loltractor for you.
Dev: There, he moved!
Player: No, he didn't, that was you hitting it!
Dev: I never!!
Player: Yes, you did!
Dev: I never, never did anything...
Player: (yelling and hitting the tank repeatedly) 'ELLO FRITZ!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call! (Takes tank out of the garage and thumps its turret on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Player: Now that's what I call a dead tank.
Dev: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Player: STUNNED?!?
Dev: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! E100s stun easily.
Player: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That tank is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of usefulness was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged nerf.
Dev: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the rhineland.
Player: PININ' for the RHINELAND?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he explode the moment I got 'im home?
Dev: The E100 prefers being on fire! Remarkable tank, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
Player: Look, I took the liberty of examining that tank when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
Dev: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that tank down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its 15cm peashooter, and VROOM! Feeweeweewee!
Player: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this tank wouldn't "vroom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
Dev: No no! 'E's pining!
Player: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This E100 is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-TANK!!

Dev: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of decent teir 10 German tanks.

_Strider_, on 17 August 2012 - 03:15 PM, said: Hello OverlordWill you buff the Amx 50 120 while you buff the 50B? If so will it happen during 8.0?
The french 120mm guns become quite obsolete now that the tier 10 meds were introduced, the 120mm guns have 10 extra alpha per shot compared to the 105mm of the meds. Any plans on buffing the 120mm alpha damage or reducing the 105mm alpha?
Seeing that Storm wrote that arty will get nerfed, will you balance them with limit per game of just using the classic nerfhammer?
When balancing a tank, do you take into account how many players are using that tank and how good the players are? (global win ratio) That will be all, grateful for answers.

Listy, on 17 August 2012 - 03:08 PM, said:
Got ya! Sorry its not often one can point out your wrong on something.
The MK7 and the MK8 Turrets were different. As you can see by this handy article which I wrote and Mr Cutland reviewed. The two turrets do look similar, if you don't know what you're looking for. The biggest difference is the flat roof, and I believe a slightly different shape.
So with that in mind, surely it'd make sense to have the MK7 Turret stock and the MK8 Turret as the upgrade? Maybe the MK8 Turret gives more hit points or other soft facotrs, and can mount a different variety of guns. Over the MK7.
On the MK1 The issue I have is if you stick a MK3 turret on top, with a 6Pdr, its still the MK1 Chassis, which makes it look wrong and historically incorrect. I'd also question the use of the 3" on the MKI tank, as that was only supplied with HE, No AP or any other type of shell.
So in my opinion/Little world:
Tier 4 premium: Uses current MK1 Hull and turret with 2Pdr gun (with some major weak spots for balance. Such as the radiators and the turret front's multiple openings). This also makes WG.net some cash.
Tier 5: MK3 style hull. With MK3 and MK4 turrets. All the main guns are totally interchangeable. I have seen a MK3 with a 75mm gun fitted. Research the 75mm gun to get to the MK7.
Tie6: MK7 turret stock, with MK8 Turret upgrade that can mount the top guns for the chassis.
Sorry, I just love the Churchill, and to use Brits its as Iconic as theT34 is to the Russians, or the colt 45 is to the US. And to see it so horribly bashed together when it appears to fit just fine using historical configurations does get up my nose slightly. ;)
Thanks for listening.
