Thank you.
Kind regards,

Good evening Overlord.
The penetration of the 17cm KwK you are thinking of found great response on the forum.
Now we are wondering how much damage the gun will cause?
Gusses range from 800-1100 damage.
What is likely, maybe 950?
Would be glad to get a number
And a if you wanna have some fun with the new TD before it is being released :D

A story about a E100 StuG, its big gun,
and thier radioman the glorious Hans.

Hammerschlag

PS: And I don't know either whether Deadeye has a bad description or whether HEAT is really excluded for unknown reasons - the effect is so minimal, can't really test it.

Dindt found him on russian server, so no idea.
Wed like to hear more about rebalancing german T10. Please, dont tell that rebalancing is just more HP, like SerB said.

Snortsch, on 26 June 2012 - 12:06 PM, said: Hi Overlord, I want to add to this question, because I heard that SerB
said he was thinking about it.
This XP transfer only makes kind of sense, when there will be no new
tier 9 tank that will be researchable from the Ferdinant, once it moves
to the other tree. Will there be a new tier 9 TD researchable from it?
I kind of see the whole high tier group of TDs (Ferdinant, JT and Jgdpz E-100)
getting moved to the new TD line as a complete package, giving the new tier
the big guns and later on heavy armour, while the new line gets the elegant more
agile TDs (JP, JP II, Stug E-75, Stug E-100).
The last thing I want is getting a new tier 9 TD researchable from the Ferdi
but having all my XP moved to the JT.

Pafsanias, on 26 June 2012 - 08:07 AM, said: Hello Overlord.
I suppose that as a developer you do test the changes (on live servers) implented on tanks with every patch.
So:
How many battles do you have with E series on live servers?
How is your gaming experience by playing E-50/75/100 after the new patch?
How many times you caught fire and engine damage?
Thank you in advance for your responce (if any) in my questions.

Any video game and you will find a bunch of things that are just silly and impossible in real life.. Its called gameplay balance, dude. If that bothers you, get your ass off of the computer and join the army. Then you can get the real thing instead of trying to get it while sitting in front of the computer.

pR1sm, on 24 June 2012 - 01:37 AM, said: hey overlord,
as brits are coming out in just a couple of month i have been wondering what their "racial trait" will be, for instance germans do have accurate guns, bad gun depression and elevation, good armor, russians got high alpha, bad accuracy, bad depression but very good elevation etc etc.
so what will be the general advantages and disadvantages of the british tanks? high speed, good fire on the move, good front armor, bad ROF, bad depression and elevation?

An idear for you:
When physics comes, tanks will get fall damage (Like its in the video shown)
What about a new module (like vent) called damper (Or another name :P ) which we could buy for our tank, which reduces fall damage by around 10-20% (You have to decide how much :D)
What you say? :D Don't forget: Patton ftw!

Overlord a question.
1: Valter on the US forms has said that Version 8.0 will be the next patch after 7.5. Is this correct?
2. It has also been mentioned that the second half of the Tech tree (TD's and Arty) will be out the patch after the British tree is released. Is this also correct?
Thanks.

Xivilai, on 23 June 2012 - 09:57 AM, said: Mr. Overlord.
In all inquires that I have made about shell DMG of 105mm German gun you stated that it will be no changes, It is obvious that you don't want to tanks using that gun to became profitable, even without premium I can manage to get income with tanks using 105mm gun only because I am superior player to most.
A few questions if I may.
Q: Will you reconsider to re-balance DMG and/or PEN value from 25% to lets say 15% ?
This would mean more work for you and members of your team, as tanks would need re-balance as well, but that is what you are payed to do.
Q: When physics will be introduced in World of Tanks ?
Q: Will be physics used for general purpose (shell trajectory, armor value, maneuverability and etc.) or just for "flying tanks" ?
(I find idea of introducing physics for "flying tanks" effect useless and rather counter productivity, not to mention which tanks will fly... I let you guess 3 times... answer is: Not German... *applause* sir you have won ma foot in your arse ...)
Q: Any plans to adjust penalty for shooting someone by accident or ramming ?
I shoot some people in few occasions because they deserve it and sometimes they will return fire and I find that:
1. I pay him much more than whole tank worth's, witch is bs...
2. I get smaller amounts of cash for repair even if he took more HP from me ??? -> please explain...
Some times I find in situation when firing form afar and someone gets in front of the target in moment I pressed fire button and my teammate gets my shell (gets my load all over his face and down his throat) in his arse, or I drive (27kmh) in my KoenigsTiger and T-50/52, T-59 or something like a fly bumps into me causing him dmg and than I need to pay for his repair, witch is not fair as I did not cause that collision.

Eraser_SK, on 22 June 2012 - 09:37 PM, said: Will there be any form of trading?
In the future, players will be able to sell various elements of their tanks (shells, cannons, engines, chassis, etc.) to others. Players can agree on using either of payment methods (credits or gold).
What about tank auctions? Does it make any sense when you have a tank shop where you can buy and sell tanks?
Yes, it does. Any player can put their vehicle on an auction and this will be of benefit to both the tank owner and the buyer. By selling your tank in the shop you’ll get much less money than you spent buying it. On the other hand, other players will be eager to buy a tank from you rather than spending a fortune on it in the shop. Thus you as a seller and another player as a buyer can reach the golden middle-ground where the price will be somewhere between its maximum and minimum points. This feature is not currently implemented.
When you plan finally activate this???

Stranger40, on 22 June 2012 - 05:26 PM, said: Dear Overlord,
i have a question concerning an issue that wasn't mentioned in the patchnotes at all.
There is a new advice in the personal files of crew members concerning skills and perks, that states that both won't have an effect anymore when you change the vehicle (screenshot added).
Why was such a major change in games mechanics not mentioned? Because now, it doesn't make sense at all to retrain an experienced crew for a new tank, when all the special abilities, that you grinded in the long run, won't work anymore.
