It seems like players in a clan lost their front logo...
Players without a clan still have them infront of their tank
Is that meant to be like that?

Listy, on 20 December 2011 - 02:43 PM, said: and Back oodles of questions, I figured I should wait until the patch was out before pestering you about these
1) Wasn't the Tetrarch meant to be out in this release?
2)After imperfect and unscientific testing, it seems that Small HE weapons have been totally hosed now. I tried my M8 Scott out. Now in the HE thread you said that every tank has an alternative to HE shots. Can you tell me what the Alternative for the M5 is? Tier II 37mm gun, Tier III 37mm Gun or Tier III HE gun. Seeing as this is a Light tank that can get dumped into some high tier games it kinda hurts not being able to do anything apart from being a Free Christmas present of EXP and cash to someone on the other team. (once had two IS-3's chasing my M8 because I was so Irritating ).
Well the point I'm trying to get too, is this came up in the player suggestions recently. Namelythis thread.
As you can see someone found a M6 Scott that had been re-armed with a Sherman's M3 75mm Gun.

Can we please have that to save the M5 Stuart from being nothing more than a Barracks tank? All the components are already in Game, its just a copy/Paste job. The Tier difference isn't too great, and A Stuart has to have something. Its slower than the Hover tank T-50. Its armour is terrible when compared to a T-50 or a Leopard. Its also taller than both. A little more punch might make it worth while.
3)Last week, you said we could have a British Tanks forum. **poke** Can we have our shiny please? (As I said I figured you were busy so I thought I'd wait until the rush was over before reminding you)
4) Equally following on from the above question. Can we please have something to chew over in the Forum? It will give us something to discuss. and Discussion creates anticipation. Anticipation creates Hype. And Hype is good for the game.
Even if its just an official "Beta" Tree, or some screen shots (like you did for the Upcoming US tanks a few months back). Consider this part of your successful EU community management.
Thanks.
Edit: LOL the British forum went live just as I was writing this!

posthumecaver, on 20 December 2011 - 09:25 AM, said: I know it is little bit future music but I was playing with french tanks in test server and I had a question about their DPS....
For ex, Lorraine 40t, tier 8 medium....
It has 300 damage gun with 6 shot cartridge plus 38s load time and waits 3.5 between the shots....
So
6 x 3.5 = 21s for emptying the cartridge plus 38s loading the cartridge so 59s, that mean 1800 DPM...isn't that little bit low, compared to Panther II for ex, 9 * 240 = 2160....
I know delivering 1800 damage inside of 18s is powerful but firing a shot less in a minute????
I didn't calculate the other french vehicles but I have a feeling they have the same problem also...AMX 50B 120, 4 shell cartridge 1600 damage inside of the 10s but Lorraine can deal 1800 damage and take out a tier 9 med but if AMX can penetrate everything to IS-7 (which is questionable, IS-7 is awesome now, frontally it bounces gold shells from AMX, 350 mm penetration, routinely) IS-7 will sit there 800 HP left, eat the AMX alive....

Because it looks like it's underpeforming compared to the other T10 tanks. Even more than before the patch.

Fraeggsau, on 20 December 2011 - 10:40 AM, said: Okay, serious question:
When I tried 7.0 on the test server, I had very nice AA after ceanking everything up to the max... now, on the live server, even High is hardly noticable...
Did you crank down the AA options during pub test???
Because on the test system I could select MXAA (or so) 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x AND Edge Softening, on live all I got is FXAA low, medium or high.
When do you plan to give players all the options? I really dislike the pre-2000 look the missing AA is giving to WoT, and would really like to get all the options from the test server! I don't care about processing power, I have an overclocked GTX 580 and 12 cpu cores idling during WoT Gameplay, and I rather drop some details elsewhere than play without noticable AA!
Really, its the only feature I looked forward to, and it got messed up!

Manie_de, on 20 December 2011 - 09:13 AM, said: VK2801 is pretty much useless now
His 10,5mm was the only feature who made a difference, because for a scout he too has low camo values, isn't as agile as a T-50-2 and its acceleration isn't that great.
Before 0.7.0 he could kill arty and could break the capping of your own base, but now he needs way to much shots for killing arty and while shooting at higher tier tanks while driving you must be extremely lucky to do any damage (aiming at weakspots isn't that easy for the 10,5mm).
Martin
BTW: the new FX (explosions, etc.) aren't such exciting, because in the heat of the battle I barely notice them.

Subject: In-Game Vehicles\German Vehicles\Medium Tanks\VK-3601-(H)-Großturm Turret Armor Nerf/Bug
Link on message: #1175499

FreakDC, on 20 December 2011 - 12:35 AM, said: In 0.6.7 the Großturm had 120mm frontal armor.
On the test version the Großturm was bugged and had 80mm frontal armor they "fixed" the bug to 100mm.
Now the questions are:
Is it intentional?
Does it just affect the shown value not the real one?
Do they intent to fix it?
If so: When will they fix it?
And if it is indeed a "hidden/unannounced" nerf, why did they do it? And why not tell anyone?

 DerZivilist, on 20 December 2011 - 10:19 AM, said: Here's what I think so far...
Minimap improvements: Awesome, I like them all. Though I am confused why the first enemy spotted (or re-spotted after no enemies were visible for a few moments) gets an extra marker. If the minimap is empty I tend to be watching it anyway, whereas if there are 5 enemies already on the map it is easy to miss a sixth appearing. So that feature seems kind of backwards. Still, it isn't a bad thing per se.
Interface improvements: It's annoying that the player list always starts full size everytime I load into battle and requires me to downsize it manually. But, you already announced that this would be fixed in 0.7.1, so waiting for that. The tier indicators on the tank icons are helpful.
Reporting system: Thankfully didn't yet meet a player who deserved its use.
New HE system:
- My KV's 152mm appears unaffected, although I only played 2 battles so far.
- My M5 Stuart is worse off, now completely unable to damage tanks that it was able to scratch for 1%-2% before. I finished my match with 12 shots, 10 hits, and absolutely no damage inflicted at all.
- My SPGs are less erractic than under the old system. Previously I could shoot a tank and inflict 5%, 4%, 20%, 8% in damage. Now I shoot a similar tank and inflict 10%, 11%, 10%, 9%. I don't feel like I'm doing significantly more or significantly less damage than before.
- All in all it seems that large, powerful HE guns are pretty much unaffected, while HE fired by low-tier guns against higher tier tanks is even less effective than it already was. So that's two times a wash, and one time a nerf. Unfortunately, that makes the new HE system worse overall than the old. It doesn't do a thing about the problem areas (way overscaled high tier artillery) but instead makes playing light tanks even more of a chore for me than it already was.
Vehicle skins: I don't care about the whole cost debate (if you don't like the price, don't buy it), but seriously: seeing tanks in desert camo duke it out in Westfield or Abbey is pretty silly...
New effects: Can we please get real multisampling instead of the glorified blur filter we have now? Switching FXAA on, regardless of setting level, makes me feel like I need new glasses.
Battle replays: Recorded some, haven't gotten around to watching it yet. You know what would be awesome though? A built-in converter that turns your recording into a video file for uploading on youtube and stuff...

 Frya, on 20 December 2011 - 09:36 AM, said: This patch is great, good job WG!
People might perceive it as "cosmetic", but they forget that underneath all of it, you started implementing multiclaster technology.
Performance:
Smoke frame drops are gone! Still, multicore support would be another huge step forward for most players.
Minimap:
Flashing markers on the minimap improved team play. Now it's all readable and people tend to react more to what other players communicate.
Different markers for "Follow me!" and "Help!" are a room for improvement (Different color? Big flashing letters H and F?). When I hear a ping, I look at the minimap and it would be nice to know right away what's up, just by looking at the marker, without taking another look at the message section.
Replays:
Replay function really has a potential to raise skill of whole community. I'm waiting for replays of top players
Maybe create a database of replays on your community site? Hall of fame of epic battles? Community could judge a style of a player, not only his battle stats.
Or maybe give a player an option to post one replay of their favourite battle in their profile? That would give anyone an idea what kind of player he is.
At the moment, replay playback is slightly raw and unintuitive. Buttons like play/rewind/fast-forward on the bottom of the screen, between tank modules window and minimap window would be nice.

Quant au klaxon c'était annoncé et c'est pratique vu ceux qui ne sont pas capables de comprendre la règle de base de progression des blindés: de laisser la priorité aux plus lourds, sans compter ceux qui nous foncent carrément dedans.
Quant au camouflage auto-adaptable, il était aussi annoncé et rien.
Il serait bien d'avoir une réponse officielle concernant ces trois points:
- le klaxon annoncé,
- le réglage par défaut de la fenêtre joueurs/tanks pour ne pas se le farcie à chaque début de partie,
- le camouflage auto-adaptable.

"Similarly, in his book Panzer Leader, Heinz Guderian related an incident, which took place during a tank battle south of Juniville: "While the tank battle was in progress, I attempted, in vain, to destroy a Char B with a captured 47-mm anti-tank gun; all the shells I fired at it simply bounced harmlessly off its thick armor. Our 37-mm and 20-mm guns were equally ineffective against this adversary. As a result, we inevitably suffered sadly heavy casualties".
I guess they should have used the .50 cal, huh?
