Bet kāpēc mani adresēja uz .com nejau .eu? Nav būtiski, pēc epastā rakstītā viņi 7 dienas gaidījuši un nav saņēmuši no manis atbildi.

Meerkatz, on 26 March 2012 - 03:20 PM, said: Cik atceros, 700, nevis 500.
Individuālais tanks redz līdz 445 m, visa redzamība virs 445 m samazina pretinieka maskēšanos šajos 445 metros. Sabiedroto izgaismotos pretiniekus redz līdz 700 m, vai apmēram 700 m. Redz minikartē, neredz vizuāli - tālāk par 700m no tevis, kuru gaismo kāds sabiedrotais, kurš ir tavas rācijas distancē (800+ m parasti uz top rācijām).
Vai arī tagad ir kaut kas mainīts?
edit: lažoju. ja būtu 700m, nebūtu el hallufā tik viegli pazaudēt vizuālo uz pretinieku pāri ielejai. k, tad 445 personiskais un 500 asistētais.

Szturmi, on 26 March 2012 - 01:43 PM, said: I believe that it is now adequate in incomes and damage dealt and fully understand that it had to be nerfed. But now it is slowly shooting TD, not heavy tank. So I am wondering why you've changed it into TD, instead of lowering his HP and gun damage? I think it would be better to have it with HP of T29 but better mobility, aiming time and turret traverse then now.
Is current version of T30 TD final?
PS. Good to see you back

Listy, on 26 March 2012 - 12:27 PM, said: Ah-ha! You're back.
I have a question about balancing.
Is there a Design system you use when first looking at a tank to give you an idea of how balanced it would be with other tanks?
For Example:
Tank X has Y thickness of armour and that is worth Z points, and the Gun is worth N Points.
Equally how do you select which tank goes to what tier?
Thanks.

FrostDX, on 24 March 2012 - 12:55 PM, said: Since you will change size of King Tiger in 0.7.2 to be "somewhat bigger", would you be kind enough to at least change the size of it's icon (I'm guessing that game is perfect at the moment, since you have nothing better to do than to make German tanks bigger/Soviet tanks smaller, so you can also do this little icon change)? Now KT is a bit bigger than E-75, and it's almost identical to Lowe in size, KT still has a smaller icon than both of them:



Comparison of KT and Lowe/E-75 on test server:







P.S. I know that those screenshots aren't 100% accurate, but the difference in proportion of icon and tank size is obvious.

Will the aimtime be reduced or will the mobility beincreased again?
I think 1 of this things should be done ... to give the T34 the possibility to bring its DMG down range or to get out of trouble and into good positions agian ...
ATM its missing the gameplay expierience of an american tank.

ogremage, on 23 March 2012 - 08:52 PM, said: Will there be t10 mediums and t10 TDs in the game?
The reason I ask again this often asked question again is because two different official WarGaming sources are stating two different things on the subject.
In particular, Russian forum answers in this thread state that a decision has been made, but the results of the decision are not being made public.
Original Russian text:
-И снова вопрос по ПТ10 и СТ10. Разработчики уже пришли к общему знаменателю по данному вопросу?
Да, пришли. Результат пока не оглашаем.
Google translation:
- And again the question of ST10 and PT10. The developers have already come to a common denominator on this issue?
Yes, it came from. The result has not been announced.
My translation:
On the contrary, EU server Q&A news post implies strongly that a positive decision has been made in this regard.
I have a question about tier 10 TDs and MTs. Have developers decided what will they be?
Yes, we have come to a decision, but we cannot announce what vehicles will be implemented just yet.
Can you confirm if this is very sloppy translation, or simply the EU news are more specific?

molen, on 23 March 2012 - 05:14 PM, said: I've tested the new T110E5 and I'm not gonna say it's a bad tank because it isn't, it's a decent overall tank and a good player can be effective with it. The problem is that it doesn't got a clear edge in any area over any other tier 10 heavy. What's the selling point of the T110E5, why would a new player chose to grind to it over any other tier 10 heavy?
If you want superior armor you go for the Maus.
If you want good overall armor and a high alpha damage gun you go for the E100.
If you want superior speed and maneuverability with a high burst dpm gun, you chose AMX 50B
If you want a great overall tank with good speed and maneuverability and now even really good front armor you pick the IS7.
Why would you pick the T110E5? The only little edge I can see is the aim speed and good dpm on the gun but that is FAR from enough to sell the tank. Especially in CW where alpha damage is more important since you don't want to stand out in the open too long.
The T30 had a clear edge with its high alpha, high penetration gun. I did the hellish grind to the T30 for this reason. WG decided that the T30 fit more as a top TD which I can understand but the replacement T110E5 we get now doesn't have any real edge I can see.
As it is now it feels like a tank freeze tank, something you drive when your other tier 10s are locked.
Something you could do without changing any historical data and give it at least one real edge is to give the gun 300+ mm penetration(with regular AP). I know, 269mm is enough to penetrate any tank if you aim right. That isn't the point, the T110E5 need some aspect of it that psychologically put fear in other tier 10s like the Maus armor or the auto loader on the 50B and makes you want to grind for it and a 300+ mm pen gun could be it. It would also make it more viable in CW without using gold ammo which would give it an edge there. I don't think a 300+mm gun would make it OP since it's still easy to penetrate its armor for many guns in the game and easier to kill than a Maus, E100 or even IS7 for that matter.
Actually, thinking about it, give the T110E5 higher top speed and better maneuverability and it would fit perfectly as a tier 10 medium after Patton. I could be a great tier 10 medium, now it's an ok, vanilla tier 10 heavy.
By the way, on the latest test server the number used for the front armor for the T110E5 is the armor on the wedge between the upper and lower front plates, why don't you do the same on the IS7 which also got high wedge armor yet what is shown is the armor for the upper plate if I'm not mistaken?

Szturmi, on 23 March 2012 - 04:06 PM, said: Why did you choose such bad ways for balancing T34? Playing this tank is just pain. Joining lack of armor with terrible mobility and bad gun (yes due to very slow aiming, this is now bad gun) is idiotism. Why you didn't lower HP more, or give him special MM similar to IX tier heavies, or lower gun damage?
I usually understand changes you make in tanks and even sometimes defend them on forum. I like a lot T110 and have nothing bad to say about M103. But in case of T34 I understand nothing... You really want 12k gold for such crap? You really want to piss off tens of thousands people who were grinding to get this tank sometimes spending gold on it?

Thought that probably isn't that hard to implement if you keep track of map-related stuff in the files. If you currently don't could you add map-related statistics later?

L3gi, on 22 March 2012 - 07:15 PM, said: hey ol,
could you inform me, why you are killing the performance of the t34 so hardly?
it is clearly underperforming for its tier in Test3!
a reload of 4 (means afaik about 4,75 in values of 7.1.1) is extreme, but understandable though.
but
why is the traverse of the Turret reduced by 50%?? it is really UNplayable in comparisation to other Tier 8 tanks! A maus rotation with no armor!
the acceleration and turning on soft grounds is also clearly underperforming!
This tank is no Tier 8. Its a shame, as it is now! Even KV5 is outperforming it!

ian666, on 22 March 2012 - 05:05 PM, said: because i already got lowe
question do devs
dont you think that giving ther8 heavy premium tank for free for tens of thousands of people will have negative impact on game economy? if you flood peoples garage with tanks which can earn over 100k credits per battle, they will buy top tanks faster and probably quit game faster (lack of purpose in the game). Not to mention that if someone will already have t34 premium, chance he will buy another tier8 heavy using rl money are probably close to 0. In other hand, whats the purpose of spending rl money for tank if you can just wait for another 12k gold giveaway in future (because if you did it once, you can do it again).

Is it confirmed that you guys think this would be a great PR opportunity to allow the 1000's of Mainly UK tank fans playable British tanks in your cool Wot booths?
Is it fair to say your marketing guys saw this as an amazing time and place to showcase the Brit tanks alongside the real life versions there and the interest generated would translate into many many prospective new accounts from the multitude of avid tank fans attending?
Can you confirm that Victor himself said "we would be mad not to use this heaven sent opportunity to increase our reputation as the leading developer in this field"
