The 100mm LB-1 gun you are planning to put on the T-44, will it keep the same stats (accuracy + aimtime) as it has now, but reduced RoF. or will it have the same bad stats (accuracy+ aimtime) as current 100mm but with higher Rof, or will it get exactly the same stats as on the T-54 atm.

With regards to the poll posted on your personal blog page:
Currently 40% (1920 players) have voted that they are waiting for the revision of the US and/or russian tech trees.
Will this change any priorities as to which tanks come first or will you still keep the same roadmap you have already published?
Thanks!

HrD, on 25 October 2011 - 03:01 AM, said: Question about WoT/WoWP/WoB gold economy
1) I think I've read somewhere that there will be a "global wallet" between these 3 games and gold can be transferred from one to another, first can you confirm this ?
2) When WoWP will be released for good (not open beta) If one wants to get premium account in both games, will we have to purchase for example 1 month of premium in WoT AND also 1 month of premium in WoWP ? Or will there be a "global premium account" ? (which means you pay 2500 gold and you have your premium account available in both games)
I ask this because theoretically if premium accounts are separated from one game to another, that would mean you have to pay twice as much but you can play each game twice as less (considering you split you free time equally to play each game) and that would be really bad

Since the player clan place a clan-logo on his tank in 7.x, are these logos stored server-side or client-side? I assume it's stored server-side.
Are the new camo patterns stored server-side too, or client-side?
Will this cause much traffic if one or both features are stored server-side?

Raketensegler, on 24 October 2011 - 03:45 PM, said: @Overlord
Could something be done to increase the ahistorically low penetration figures of the 8,8/l56 and 7,5/l70 which would help to balance these guns?
WG equalized Russian test results at 0° obliquity to German ones at 30° (due to the relevant percentages of shells required to penetrate, 50% German, 75% Russian). Source taken for this: http://english.battl...enetration.html
This system is wrong, because the mentioned website gives a completely wrong picture about the German methodology as can be seen when looking at primary sources.
Penetration requirement was 100% for German guns, so the values are incorrect.
Sources are:
Steel AP & Theory of Penetration ADM 213-951
http://www.bismarck-...ration_1946.zip

 _Blackadder, on 24 October 2011 - 03:11 PM, said: Hello Overlord,
does WG plan to take very good custom-skins (e.g. Top3 downloads for every tank) into the officiall WoT-camo skin pool (given there are no forbidden unit-emblems or something)? I ask this, because for some tanks I have custom skins which are very detailled (Zimmerit, worn parts etc...) and I would like to get them again after 0.7.0 (I think I'm not the only one).
Perhaps this could be a way to interact with the skilled guys who do such camos: every now and then community-produced skins can be voted per poll into the official WoT- camo pool providing the author with gold as "payment". Thus making it a win-win for all: WG-staff can outsource the skinning part, community can vote for what they want and the talented guys get some reward for their awesome work.
Regards,
Blackadder

arkhell, on 24 October 2011 - 01:57 PM, said: Hi Overlord
It's been a while since i used my pz V/IV but yesterday i took it out for a sping again.
still a solid tank for a premium, except the gun isn't that great, this would however not be to big a problem if you could flank enemy's. the pz V/IV has the speed to do it, except the turn rate is a special sort of bad.
so since the panther is a tier 7 now and this thing is a tier 6 with fair armor fair speed, horrible gun and horrible turnrate could there please be a consideration to buf it's turn speed a bid to make it a tad more usefull. I really love the tank but it cant snipe (gun) and can't brawl (turnrate of a battleship) so since we won't get a new gun (would ruin the concept of the whole tank) can we please have a bid better turn rate
ps. tested overlord teh game yet?

Cpl_Hicks, on 24 October 2011 - 02:01 PM, said: about contests
Q: Do you still want to seperate discussions and submissions of contests in two threads?
I ask, because in the recent contests, the "link to discussion thread" was missing (at least at the start of the contest).
The new "MVP: Top of the Class" is another example of that: at the moment, the news on the community site contains 2 links, both of them linking to the submission thread; in addition, the submission thread does not link to the discussion thread either.

Zoijar, on 22 October 2011 - 01:02 PM, said: Question on the scout achievement. It says:
Detect more enemy tanks and self-propelled guns than anyone else on your team (at least nine).
• The achievement is granted to the winning team only.
• If two or more players have detected equal number of enemy vehicles, the achievement is granted to the player who has earned more XP, including additional XP provided to Premium Account users.
How exactly do two or more players detect an equal number of enemy vehicles, in excess of 9, with teams of 15 tanks? I always thought 2x 9 is 18

Bullitt, on 22 October 2011 - 10:43 AM, said: So this can be considered proof that someone from the Development team reads these posts.
Now I have your attention I would like to ask if you have ever considered the introduction of a map editor? This was something my Clan mates & I were discussing the other night we thought it would be a great way to involve the community & add a diversity of maps.
We were not even sure if it could be implemented, but if it could you could run competitions with the best maps winning prizes & being introduced on to the servers! I myself would love to design some maps based on some old C&C maps I used to love to play.
It is just an idea but we all thought it would be a good one.

Trent, on 23 October 2011 - 05:06 AM, said: I can think of at least 2 very useful ones:
- ability to know when your tank has been spotted (eavesdropping enemy's radio messages); when at 50%, you know when spotted by enemies that are within half your radio range etc.
- ability to see on your minimap not only enemies spotted by allies within your radio range, but also enemies whose position were relayed to them by other allies; right now there's no relaying like that (this weekend I witnessed a situation in company battle where our scouting T-50 spotted enemy arty, but only had stock radio, so our arty players on the other end of the map simply didn't see them).
Q1: Will we get the skills above (or similar)?
Q2: You use the terms "skills" and "perks" - any difference between them in the way they work? For example, skills being the "percentage-based" abilities (like the 3 skills we have now) and perks being on/off abilities (either you have that ability or you don't).
Q3: Will we get the option to suspend developing one skill (before reaching 100%) and start developing another without losing the previous one? Let's say I have my commander trained in camo at 50%, but I decide 50% is enough and start training him in something else, without resetting or deleting his 50% camo skill - it's still in effect and working, and you can later re-start developing it. "Paused" skill could even take some penalty, like -10% (so the commander in my example has camo skill developed at 50%, but it operates at 45% as long as it's paused).

Sheolite, on 22 October 2011 - 09:27 PM, said: Hello Overlord, I have 2 questions:
1) I just compared Tier IX guns of heavy tanks,
German Tier IX gun: 10,5 cm KwK 46 L/68 has: 5,45-7,5 RoF, 225 avg penetration, 320 avg damage, 0,3 accuracy and 2s aiming time
USSR Tier IX gun: 122mm BL 9 has: 5,17 RoF, 225 avg penetration, 390 avg damage, 0,35 accuracy and 3s aiming time
US Tier IX gun: 105mm T5E1 has: 5 - 7,5 RoF, 198 avg penetration, 320 avg damage, 0,35 -0,37 accuracy and 2s aiming time
My question is - why is 105mm T5E1 gun so weak in comparison with other nations' Tier IX guns? It has no advantages, neither rate of fire nor penetration or damage. German gun has good rate of fire and accuracy, USSR gun has great damage, while US gun has weakest penetration and worst accuracy.
2) My second question is - considering this huge weakness of US 105mm T5E1 gun, are there any plans to change its statistics or is it supposed to be so weak?
