dagijs, on 07 February 2012 - 03:40 PM, said: Hello Overlord, just a few questions here:
1. When can we expect to see the improved physics?
2. When can we expect to see the multi-gun feature? (Maus has a main 128mm gun and a secondary 75mm gun for example)
3. Any guesses on when the IS-6 arrives?
4. When can we expect the E-10 and E-25 premium tanks?
5. Any chance on the T-25 premium tank getting an autoloader feature? It was planned for it and would be quite nice.
6. When can we expect to see new game modes?
Sorry for all these questions and thanks in advance!

Black_Rod, on 07 February 2012 - 02:07 PM, said: I am totally confused about the Overmatch rule now...
The different questions and answers (including misreading etc.) are somewhat inconsistent to me.
Q: Are there 2 differnt rules one for penetration and one for caliber?
or is it in all cases just the one rule:
3 times greater caliber as armour -> increases normalisation
srry 4 askin reallly again..
but I'm confused about all those (different in my means) answers lately

Keulz, on 07 February 2012 - 01:04 PM, said: So i'm assuming that APCR does lose penetration over distance.


Quote Is it just a mistake ?
Is it :
1. Overmatch - shell size : Caliber value > 3*armor ==> no ricochet
2. Overmatch - penetration : Penetration value = X > 3*armor ==> normalisation is multiplied by X.
Or just :
Overmatch - shell size : Caliber value > 3*armor ==> normalisation is multiplied by X.


Quote Why not hiring a "Knowledge manager", that would gather all these kind of intel, check them himself, for example ?

Paaranoja, on 07 February 2012 - 11:49 AM, said: Haven't asked you a question in a long time Overlord, be kind
1. Does skirt armor help against HEAT (cumulative charge) shells, IE detonating the shell further away from main armor and thus protecting the tank from jet created by the HEAT?
2. With new physics, will we see tanks skidding and drifting?
3. With new physics, will we be able to push live tanks? Its funny how you can push ms-1 corps, but he will stop your is-7 dead in the tracks if he is alive.
4. Shooting at a distant target that's moving is really hard because of reticule auto adjusting for distance, if he is on elevated position, once you start leading your target, you will have to shoot at the horizon, but due to auto shell drop you will overshoot your target, making him almost impossible to hit if he is has sufficient speed. Will you consider introducing some kind of distance "lock" ?

2. Not all shells have less penetration over distance, HEAT doesn't. Don't know about in-game mechanics, but in real life, HEAT penetration value doesn't drop over distance.

How is the experience you get after battle in case of a win and a defeat related to each other?My assumption is x for defeat and 2x for a win.Am I correct or talking rubbish?

Perscienter, on 06 February 2012 - 06:51 PM, said: I've noticed, that the Tetrarch has far more armour on the front of its turret. I did not penetrate with a penetration value of 48 (on 16 armour point-blank shot, below 10m). Is it just the gun mantlet or the armour plate behind the gun? Will you ever introduce complete armour descriptions of the vehicles?
And there is a third one, while 1 and 2 describe different cases, the third one does not comply with the first.
3. With one exception: If caliber of the projectile is three times greater than the armor and the angle is greater than 8 degrees, the shot will penetrate. All shells have a ricochet value and an idealization value. These are 20 and 8 degrees, for the most part, of the shells.
Is 1 or 3 the correct one?
Where are checkpoints 5 and 6, by the way?

and for the Panzer IV, in case someone ask: LINK
and then for the poke.... when will we see the correct speeds for the Tigers? These were "promised" waay back in beta along with other things and are yet to be seen, from OL himself.... LINK

 Listy, on 06 February 2012 - 07:05 PM, said: Hello Overlord.
I'm curious about the removal of the French tanks.
Now as A disclaimer: I already have both, and have had both for some considerable time. So the answer is no skin off my nose.
1) However the reason given seems odd, and silly. Or was there some issue with them?
Were they too prolific (Like the reason the type got its ticket punched). Although I've never seen more than three 735(f)'s, or two Panzer B2's in a game. All were when platooned.
Were they too good? Hence the weighted matchmaker in the case of the 735? Although that could equally apply to the other T2 French tanks.
Was there some exploit from them? I've not seen one yet though, nor can I work out how to exploit them.
2) Will the S35 get pulled later on?
These tanks are different models to the French ones. The Germans made changes. A digital company like yourself is not under the constraints of stock duplication that a normal company suffers. So you're removing them to stop people paying you real money for a low tier tank.
All these reasons make the removal all the more perplexing. Hence why I'm trying to get some clarification on your thinking.
I can sing chapter and verse about these Very important tanks in the German army.
Discussing it with my friend (who also has both)Might it be that both are a bit on the powerful side? Us players, we're mostly grown up so we can accept being told something is being pulled for that reason. If the Overpower thing is an issue, maybe altering the tanks to make them less overpowered?
OR is it an unwritten law that Premium tanks will never be altered?
This raises the question about other premium tanks listed in the Tech tree's that will be available in their parent list. Such as the US Captured Type 97 Chi-Ha, The Churchill, the Matilda and the Valentine.
Thanks. As I said as user it makes no difference to us. It just seem weird logic, to stop people paying you real money. and a rather odd approach for a Company to take (especially as we want you to keep making money to keep the servers up!).

 S1av, on 06 February 2012 - 04:41 PM, said: I have a question about shell normalization and Overmatch rule.
WOT Wiki states there are two Overmatch rules
1. Overmatch - shell size, which states: when the caliber of the weapon is 3 times greater than the thickness of the armor, than overmatch (no chance to ricochet) occurs, which was confermed by Overlord.
2 Overmatch - penetration, which states: when the shell's penetration is more than 2 times greater than the thickness of the armor, shell normalization is increased.
My question is about the second rule and if it still apply in the current version of WOT since i coulden't find any information.
If it does, than is the normalization bonus same as the first rule?

What's the use/benefit of "Optics + Scope" equiped when max range is only 500m. And let's say for TD's and/or tanks?
Also quite a viable question from Thulle about multicore usage imho.
Any news about that? If so... any approximate when it's gonna be implemented?
(allways nice to see 1 cpu running at 100% and the remaining cpu's doing (almost) nothing.)
Got some nice pc's here with sli graphics and dualcore, quadcore and hexacore cpu's and only one core is used 100% also no threads are being used. shame

 DerZivilist, on 06 February 2012 - 04:41 PM, said: Hi Overlord,
In this post you made last week, it appears implied that critical hits to modules pay out credits. In the post you made above, it appears implied that critical hits do not pay out credits, but do pay out experience (I assume per point of damage inflicted).
Apologies in advance if I have misinterpretated one of your posts, but the wording was a bit ambiguous. Could you please clarify if inflicting a critical hit:
1) pays out both credits and experience
2) pays only credits
3) pays only experience
4) pays nothing
And don't worry, I'm fine with whatever the answer is. I'm just trying to better understand the mechanics
