OldFox: Nu tas ir liels jautajums, kadu stobtu KV-3 izmantot. Skaties pats:
vinam ir samietram biezas brunas, tapec vins var mierigi
parlaideties zem pretinieka uguni. Bet ja to esi trapijis ar to 122
mm, tad vairakiem zemaka lvl tankiem var but "vansots", bet
augstaka lvl ari nebus labi.

Zoijar, on 04 June 2011 - 10:36 PM, said: Question1: How exactly does aiming/shooting work? I know it's a
normal distribution (gaussian) centered at the reticle's center,
and that -- according to unconfirmed but reliable rumour -- the
reticle's edge (the aiming circle) is at 2.5 sd/sigma of this
normal distribution. That means that about 3% of your shots land
outside the circle. Question, if shells can land outside the circle
with small probability, is this in any way clipped? How far off can
a shell go? The normal distribution has tails extending towards
infinity, so could it, in theory, with say a probability of one in
a million, land very far away from the circle's center?
Question 2:
(for the record, to avoid the ban hammer, asked this before but not answered ) Will we get anti-aliasing with
advanced post-processing effects? I find the aliasing unbearable to
look at, so I turn off the advanced effects, even though I do like
them. The in-game option doesn't seem to do anything, and I can't
force anti-aliasing in my nvidia control panel either -- I can, but
it doesn't help/work.

Eat_Uranium, on 04 June 2011 - 11:22 PM, said: Since my question wasn't answered (and was 5 or 6 days ago) I'll
ask again (but hopefully more simply this time):
When the KV-3 is moved to tier 7 will the undistributed xp move with it, or will it be transferred to the T-150? And if the latter is the case, can we request the xp stay with the KV-3 like we have the choice with the KV/IS-4?.

of the values lie within 3 standard deviations. However for the
gameplay purposes shells should not go beyond aiming circle at
all.
2. Both AA and advanced PPE won't be available at the same time.

Overlord: Software Version
Can't say that we really care much about the index itself, it is quality that really matters.
Map-selection
Not a bad thing actually, it is in talks currently.
The matchmaking system as it is is horrible.
Good old match-making system. Doubt I can add smth new here. Have some ideas how to make it better, however at this stage I can't announce them.
The platoon system
Platoon size can't be extended with the current match-making. No go.
Fighting with unknown people
Play platoons, companies, UC battles.
Waiting 30 seconds in front of each battle
Not subject to change currently.
after battle
Planning to add a way to communicate with your teammates (opponents?) when the battle is over.
Graphic engine
Might be not the best one in terms of graphics and detalization however it suited us better than any other back in 2009. Planning to develop it further in future on our own.
Ghostshells
Hasn't been confirmed and reproduced as a bug so far.
Tha matches are not decided before the start, to do so we need a most complicated algorithm. Far more complicated than eg the one being used for match-making.
damage
There is certain randomization factor:
1) accuracy
2) penetration
3) damage
individual skins
We are planning to add sets of skins and camos which will be visible for all players.
MMOG?
Ok. I do respect your opinion.
and finally .... the arty
Basically we are satisfied with the way SPG work at present. Major changes are unlikely to come.

Koo294, on 04 June 2011 - 11:51 AM, said: Ok, since this wasn't answered before it was deleted:
As I see it, you're saying it is possible that in the future the T23 will become a premium.
However, you're also saying current T23 drivers are not getting that, since the current T23 will be removed.
Now here's what i don't understand, assuming the T23 does indeed appear as a premium later:
T34 drivers. When the 6.6 patch comes, T34 drivers will have their T9 heavies replaced with the new tier 9 heavy. They will also receive a T34 premium tank, which also comes with the patch.
T23 drivers. When the 6.5 patch comes, T23 drivers will have their T8 mediums replaced with the new tier 8 medium. They will NOT receive a T23 premium tank, even if one comes out in a later patch.
So, why's this? the only difference between the situations is the times, different tree and tier, and the fact that the T23 will be unavailable for some time before it is reintroduced (if it is reintroduced). These factors should not make any difference on the whole, and if they do, i would like to know why.
So please, can you explain this to me? Sorry if i'm misunderstanding.
Orkel2, on 04 June 2011 - 01:19 PM, said: My question was deleted and left unanswered, so according to the
rules I'm allowed to re-ask:
Will projectiles ever be modeled in more detailed physics, like if you ding a Panther, the shell will change its path and hit a nearby wall or tank (with less force)? In the current version they disappear on ding.

set of everything or will they miss out on something. Like when the
USA faction came it didn't have it's tD's with it, can we expect
something similar when the French faction joins the game?
How far off until we get maps with different times of day and different weather?
Will we soon get improved sound effects?
Maybe as an option have the crews speak with their native language in their respective tank, or maybe even English but with an accent?
Thanks for your time

would strive for diversity.

conifers as bushes have?Overlord: Trees don't provide any camo bonus.
Koo294, on 04 June 2011 - 11:51 AM, said: Ok, since this wasn't answered before it was deleted:As I see it, you're saying it is possible that in the future the T23 will become a premium.
However, you're also saying current T23 drivers are not getting that, since the current T23 will be removed.
Now here's what i don't understand, assuming the T23 does indeed appear as a premium later:
T34 drivers. When the 6.6 patch comes, T34 drivers will have their T9 heavies replaced with the new tier 9 heavy. They will also receive a T34 premium tank, which also comes with the patch.
T23 drivers. When the 6.5 patch comes, T23 drivers will have their T8 mediums replaced with the new tier 8 medium. They will NOT receive a T23 premium tank, even if one comes out in a later patch.
So, why's this? the only difference between the situations is the times, different tree and tier, and the fact that the T23 will be unavailable for some time before it is reintroduced (if it is reintroduced). These factors should not make any difference on the whole, and if they do, i would like to know why.
So please, can you explain this to me? Sorry if i'm misunderstanding.
Overlord: The difference is that we are not totally sure:
- that T23 is going to be reintroduced
- when exactly T23 is going to be reintroduced
- what tier and what specs it will get
- that T23 is going to be reintroduced
- when exactly T23 is going to be reintroduced
- what tier and what specs it will get
Orkel2, on 04 June 2011 - 01:19 PM, said: My question was deleted and left unanswered, so according to the
rules I'm allowed to re-ask:Will projectiles ever be modeled in more detailed physics, like if you ding a Panther, the shell will change its path and hit a nearby wall or tank (with less force)? In the current version they disappear on ding.
Overlord: Do not have such intention. Currently it works as a material point.

Zieten, on 04 June 2011 - 05:18 PM, said: Q: is it working as intended that the T92 is not capable of
close-range-defense because of its gun depression?Overlord: Yes, it is. Depression angle suffers due to high huge caliber and
weight.
PsychicWarrior, on 04 June 2011 - 05:07 PM, said: When the French tanks are introduced this year, will they have a
set of everything or will they miss out on something. Like when the
USA faction came it didn't have it's tD's with it, can we expect
something similar when the French faction joins the game?How far off until we get maps with different times of day and different weather?
Will we soon get improved sound effects?
Maybe as an option have the crews speak with their native language in their respective tank, or maybe even English but with an accent?
Thanks for your time
Overlord: 1. Not sure now, it can go either way.
2. Far away. Such maps are unlikely to appear this year.
3. Yes, definitely.
4. It is in plans. We do have enough voice packages to enable this.

You wouldnt accecpt that from your BMW dealer, that they tune down your car after you buy it.

Zieten, on 01 June 2011 - 06:18 PM, said: Question concerning the GW E:
Q: currently the GW E seems to be invulnarable to splash damage by other artilleries. is this working as intended or a bug?

Lamer_Cz, on 01 June 2011 - 06:22 PM, said: Hi,
i have two small questions.
1) How much can be difference between teams? I mean sum all tanks tier (to today, i think this is only criterium for building teams).
2) when you know, which level is equipment used on tank why you dont take this into consideration when creating teams? It funny go with basic su-100 against Is-3 or 4..and with elite Su-100 agains T-34 and Panzer IV.
Thank you for answers.
finalsacre, on 01 June 2011 - 10:50 PM, said: Hello,
I would ask you some questions:
1) About stats of T23:
I saw you posted global stats (% victory and average xp) of T9 mediums, I thank you though I still would like to see the comparison between T8 mediums, because the balance on paper seems to be even worse than the balance of T9. Especially T23 which lacks firepower and armor. I hardly think how can it have similar stats (despite I drive myself a T23 and have currently 554 average xp {no premium} and 60% win ratio ).
2) About French tanks:
a) I read that the game mechanic multiple turrets will be delayed. Can we hope to see it 3 months after the release of French tanks or later ?
b ) Because of the last point, I dread the other new game mechanic, named revolver magazine (mounter on the last tiers )will also be reported, is my fear justified ?
3) Others :
a) Can you increase the daily limit of "+1"? I always run out of it
b ) Can I have an autograph ?
Thank you in advance .

ElectroSoldier, on 02 June 2011 - 12:15 AM, said: Privet tovarishch Overlord )))
Are there any plans to modify the Tiger I?
I am thinking about its armor values being incorrect.
I would also like to know if its view range will be extended to reflect the fact that in real life the Tiger had one of the longest view ranges on the battlefield, while in the game it is easily over matched by some of the higher tier tanks, it should be equal to them... shouldnt it?
I would also like to know why
the consumable 100 octane gasoline was change to automatic use, sometimes I do not want to use it, but have to option to.
The HE rounds for the 88mm gun of the Tiger have an AP value that is only half of what they should be (Official NONE GERMAN TESTS show the AP values of those rounds where @ 90mm AP)
I would like to know why the coated optics dont take effect for 3 seconds after the tank has stopped moving.
If a tank has upgraded optical lenses they they would always work because it is how the glass works, yes?
I would like the know why the Large caliber tank gun rammer is quoted to -10% from load time. in my own tests which involve crew experience levels being equal in each test the load time is not reduced by as much as 10%, the load time is closer to 5% at best, maybe the price should be changed to reflect this? or the load times should be as stated?
I would like to know if the game mechanics allow for the Tiger I's close to perfect armor into account?
An armor value of 45mm on the cheaply made T34 means it has 34mm armor, however the Tiger armor was not cheap, it was close to prefect, but this is not reflected in the game.... why? ....... if you can code to allow for slop armor of a T34 then it is a simple matter to code this too, correct?
Sometimes it seems to me the job the developers have done on the Russian and some American tanks is very good, the IS-7 is good, especially as a lot of the facts used to make it are speculation, but on tanks like the Tiger the job done is really very poor, even though some facts like the armor thickness are easy facts that can be discovered reading even the most fact-less books.
It is a shame to spoil such good work with poor workmanship in some places (((((

be able to kill the crew by shooting the empty space where the crew
should be standing no?
B051LjKo, on 02 June 2011 - 11:08 AM, said: Overlord, do you plan to fine tune the american T5E1 gun, with the
nerfs in 6.4.0, it really doesn't belong to "Tier 9 gun" category.
For example, compare it with KwK45 L52 on Tiger 2.
T5E1 on the T32
Damage : 240 to 400
Penetration : 149 to 248mm
Rof : 6.32 rnd/min
Precision : 0.37
Aiming Time : 2 sec
Tiers : 9
Exp Cost : 40 700
KwK45 L/52 on the Tiger II
Damage : 240 to 400
Penetration : 150 to 250mm
Rof : 6.32 rnd/min
Precision : 0.32
Aiming Time : 2 sec
Tiers : 8
Exp cost : 16 800
So the questions are:
1. Do you plan to buff accuracy or penetration on T5E1 (on t32, with might call for redesignation to prevent T29 from beeling OP in the tier 7 arena) to make it liable as a Tier 9 once again.
2. If the answer to the first question is negative, to you plan to designate it as a Tier 8 gun, and thus, reducing the XP needed for research (because 40K XP is way to much for a Tier 8 gun)
Stubentiger, on 02 June 2011 - 12:56 PM, said: Since the update 0.6.5 and 0.6.6 are not very far away any more,
two questions about the content and one general question:
Will the VK3601 get a different gun when being reclassified as a Tier6 Heavy?
Will the Panther I keep its 8.8/L71 when moving down to Tier 7?
Do you plan to add an ingame nickname change service (for gold)? Now, the support only changes your nickname if you have a prohibited or unreadable nickname, but not for any other personal reason.
dktank, on 02 June 2011 - 02:16 PM, said: hi overlord, these questions were removed during cleaup so i'll ask
them again:
1) AP rounds (not HEAT) for artillery: is their penetration calculated the same as for other guns? the ranges they shoot at are much bigger, so their actual penetration will be quite low. also
their muzzle velocity and flight path are quite different, so is there any difference? if no is there a change planned in the future?
2) is weaker top armor (as in real life) modelled ingame to give artillery an advantage and height advantages to tanks?
3) any plan to introduce AP rounds to more SPGs?
thanks for the answers!

2. Is any of the numerous posts about artillery spam being considered or should we just make our piece with not being able to move whatsoever on most maps?
3. Been asked but can't stress it enough it seems. The Tiger I aka bullet-sponge is going to stay broken?

which allows to absorb HE damage.

Overlord: 1. Match-making system ensures the equal match-making value of the
two teams. The sum of tiers can be different.
2. It would complicate the existing system and can bring real mess.

close.
2.
a ) At present we are not sure when exactly the release of French tanks occur.
B ) It should be ready by the initial release of French tree.
3.
a ) That would automatically increase limit of "-1", which is not good.
b ) Come to Ganescom 2011 (Cologne, Germany) in August.
