L3gi, on 10 January 2012 - 06:05 AM, said: hey overlord
1. could you give us some rough view for the t110? Im wondering what kind of advantages he wanna get to give the tank a role in CW, because i doubt a tank with such a low hull and i doubt he will be speedy like the fr t10 will get a primary role in cw.
1.2 Do you plan to give / keep every t10 a useful "job/role" in Cw battles with a real unique advantage over other t10 tanks? Besides, will you adjust the advantages if it looks like they will be just have a minor or even no role anymore?
2. same as 1. for is4?
3. im wondering why the kv5 has vanished from giftshop. Is there a statement? i havent found one.

Modules weight substracted (turret gun etc, so this is the weight of armor plates only)
Tons left for armor
KT 37,02t
E100 40,78t
Lowe 51,65t O_O
E75 54,4t
Although it way less armored than E75 (not to mention E100) but its armor almost wieghts the same. Why is that?

As you declare MM is perfect.
So can you explain me why 4 game in row enemy has + 1 tier 8 tank/highest tier in battle/ then our team, and this extra tier is T59?
I'm sorry but when enemy has 4 T59 + tier8 heavy against 4 tier 8 on our side/+ we have 2 tier 5 against 2 tier6/ game is decided on start.O and BTW we do not have any extra tier and 1 tier 8/especially T59/ is far better then let say 2 extra tier 6 or 5.
So why?

With the new Russian and American Heavy tanks on the horizon, whats going to happen with all the extra crew members we will be receving in relation to the number of spaces we have left in the barracks.
Example: I have the KV, KV-3, T34 and T30 ready for the new tanks, so thats 4 sets of new crew i am about to receve
But if only have enough space in the barracks for 1 set of new crew
What will happen?
Will said players get more space in the barracks for free?
EDIT:
Never mind, i never realized crew live in their tanks, and only occupy the barracks when they are not on a tank

The Tiger H still is the worst Heavy Tank Tier 7, you acknowledged it a long time ago and no gun buff (wasn't Tiger H only), armor rework or whatever has changed that.
Dont you think the Tiger H, a tank you advertise with, should get some love in the near future? Remove the speed governor at least, all series have proven to be fast and mobile under combat conditions (better then Pz III and Pz IV)

again, question about JPnzr IV. Last data which Snib published showed, that the change done to JPznr IV with armour in 0.7.0 didn't help.
TANK WINRATIO GLOBAL WR
New data:
SU-100 51.02% 49.69%
M36 Slugger 50.68% 49.27%
JagdPz IV 48.84% 49.13%
Old data:
M36 Slugger 51.00% 49.60%
SU-100 50.68% 49.87%
JagdPz IV 48.85% 48.57%
What are you going to do to make it more equal to the other T6 TD? You are ignoring this TD for very long time now...

Thanks overlord. Tank_Killer asked me, and that was my guess.
Overlord, I'm reposting something from earlier, because it contains an idea which might help you balance some tanks, and stop the complaints about the HE Changes. As I posted it as you where posting I suspect you might have missed it.
Thanks.

Hello Overlord.
Question: What are your thoughts, plans or ideas for dealing with the M5 Stuart/M8 Scott issue?
Allow me to explain.
As it currently stands the M22 locust is a better light tank than the M5.
Explanation here:

Stuart-Locust
Speed: 58KPH-64KPH
View range: 380-380 (Granted that's stock turret)
Hull armour: 29/15/25-25/13/13
Power Ratio: 0.04-0.03
Health 290-250
The M22 being Tier III doesn't get screwed by the matchmaker as often. Equally the Locust is phenomenally low to the ground, meaning it can use terrain much easier than the large box that is the M5. Plus they're armed with the same gun. The 75mm Howitzer is utterly useless with the current HE mechanics. You yourself said that in less than a couple of weeks it had suffered a 6% Performance drop.
Every suggestion we've made has been rejected by yourself (The M8 Scott with the M3 75mm: Going in the TD tree. Putting a 57mm in the tank: No historical evidence). So where does that leave us? As Far as I can see we have three options:
Other cool options:

1: Give us the GMC T65 (single 40mm) or T85 (quad 20mm) options. The down side is this will require substantial re-modelling of the tank.
2: Jalopy time. Much like in the game British forces found the Stuarts Gun to be useless, and the tank to be too tall. They simply removed the turret. This gave it much better speed, Camo and ability to cross rough ground. If you really must have a gun on the tank, it was often armed with a .50 cal HMG. That'd be about as much use as the tanks guns are at current. So what have we lost? If you say that the tank is a US one, not British. The US produced a variant called the T8 Reconnaissance Vehicle.
Best option?
3: Look at the Ammunition. Possibly the easiest choice. And it can also be used to solve the issues with other HE reliant tanks, which you admit have suffered because of the HE changes.
By altering the Ammunition I mean like this. HEAT rounds often went through many changes (I think some German HEAT warheads had 5 Versions of them). So make the earlier less efficient Ammunition types Silver (With appropriate Stats), while the top spec HEAT warheads are Gold ammo, just like at current. For the Example of the M8 Scott, at current you have the HEAT M66 shell as gold ammo. Well Change the stats (Less AP for example), and make that Silver ammo. Then call the Gold ammo the HEAT M310 Shell.
I hope I've made my explanation clear.
Thanks for reading.

FrankyK, on 09 January 2012 - 02:26 PM, said: Overlord,
I've got three short questions:
How many players (rough %-value) actually purchased camo patterns for their tanks so far? From my experience, only few players; I estimate about 20%, have purchased camos.
Which tank nation is in the lead concerning the number of purchased camos?
Do you plan to work on your blog again in near future? It's sad that this precious source of information is "out of order".
Thanks.

but ona serious note.
gen elevation/depression of the french tanks is a bid whack you can't actually shoot up or down . it's a real big handycap on most maps cause you can't take upper or lower terrain.
tank on a whole arn't bad though, but they could use a bid of love on the elevation/depression front imho.
and and for the forum.
teh people that are viewing this topic colum doesn't work for this threat (for me atleast)

Unlike APCR, it wouldn't lose any penetration with the distance. After all, it would be another thing on which WG could make a buck or two... I'll send you my account on which to pay a commission
But seriously, is there a specific reason why it wasn't included in the game?
