If my crew in my KV is already on 100% and have a high special skill % throughout (80% roughly), when they get trained up for the KV1 or 2 (whichever one it is) will they retain their special skill or revert back to 0%?

The 88 nerf came as a big surprise to me, and I had to find that out second-hand via this thread.

In other words: what do we have to do to get maximum profit:
a) play before 12:00 UTC to get 2x bonus then after it to get further 5x bonus
play only after 12:00 UTC to get 5x bonus instead of 2x

It would be nice for those without premium account.
It could be one special day in every month.


Jamezdin, on 04 May 2011 - 02:17 PM, said: I have another question for Overlord or any of the other developers:
Is there an experience bonus to those participating in platoons, and if not will it be implemented at some point in the future to encourage more platoon play??


Gaz550, on 05 May 2011 - 11:29 AM, said: Even if it would go like you say, what would it matter? It's all the same if the tier number is 800 or 8 or 0,2 and the other vehicle has 3345534. it is promised nowhere that tier 8 medium should be exactly equal to tier 8 heavy.


Terrorsatan, on 06 May 2011 - 11:09 AM, said: Why do the russians get a much much closer look and even explanations to the upcoming changes ( see this thread : My link ) and we just get feeded with the newsarticle on the mainpage?

caprera, on 06 May 2011 - 12:51 PM, said: I know you won't but i'm asking anyway. I'm an optimist ^-^
The Panther moved to Tier 7 will keep the 88/L71 gun or will be left as slower alternative to the 3002DB with the same L56 ? If not there will be some chance we can see a middle gun (L60) to actually do some damage to some Heavies ?


chromedome, on 06 May 2011 - 12:34 PM, said: why is my tier 8 medium not balanced with tier 8 heavy? so basically there is no balance in the tiers between different vehical types? so why should anybody bother with medium or light tanks?could you remove all the mediums and lights from game as they are substandard in performance compared to heavy's and therefore a waste of time?
Also if the are not balanced with equally tiered heavy's why do i constantly get matched against tier 8 heavy's in my tier 8 medium ?


CerVus, on 06 May 2011 - 12:44 PM, said: Hello,
no response so i have to post it again:
1) Why is pz.IV turret situated to one side of the tank? It should be in the center of the hull.

2) Will you fix matchmaking to not stack heavy tanks in one team and mediums or TDs to another? Mostly only top 6 tanks determine upon win or loose so tanks down in the list are not important.
3) Is this game arcade or simulator?
Because if it is simulation its ok that germans have "two engines"(gearbox and engine), but if it is arcade you only chicane german tank users. Our tanks are bigger, our guns have much lower penetration, and our armor is worse (because german tanks were projected at the start or middle the war i know - but thats reason to rebalance weapons to give germans more penetration if they missed 5 years of advenced development)


Stubentiger, on 05 May 2011 - 01:40 PM, said: @Overlord
Since the promised damage buff for the German Guns (mainly the 88's) in 0.6.4 has been rolled back, please answer us the following questions.
1. Do you still plan to buff these guns as intended and planned?
2. If yes, when do you plan to implement it (rough time frame).
3. Can you please explain the main reason for this roll-back? Your decision is quite frustrating for a lot of players.
Thanks.


Sturmtiger_304, on 04 May 2011 - 07:09 PM, said: Q1: What is the difference on the two?
Q2: Will there be an option for us to select the KV-4 design by Mikhailo? The two mini turrets are the front that does nothing is just redicilous.

waylander1, on 06 May 2011 - 01:04 PM, said: Only 1 question for the Developers regarding this,
Will their be a time limit/game limit regarding the tanks and their 'Free' replacements, i.e you must have had the tank at least 3 weeks or 50 battles before you can get it or do you just have to have done the research and own the tank ?
As we found out with the CBT tank the rules were changed and you had to have a minimum number of battles to get one will this be the same ?

Fimp3n, on 03 May 2011 - 03:36 PM, said: Since this is a Q&A thread I'll post this in the form of a question.
Overlord, can you please confirm that you won't in any way touch the excellent map Malinovka with it's many opportunities for tactical play and nice layout?
Can you also confirm that you understand that it's seldom the comfortable majority that complains about things?
It's ok if you don't want to answer this.


qrak01, on 03 May 2011 - 03:41 PM, said: Hello!
I heard rumors that probably we will get M103/T110 amongst with US TD line in June/July. Is this possible? If not, any ETA on these two beauties?


Paaranoja, on 03 May 2011 - 04:08 PM, said: MAlinovka is just fine, its not a camping map if you dont camp....
back OT
question:
#1 it has been said that TX IS4 will get an improved 122mm gun, will that gun be similar to 120mm gun on t34 (maybe a bit better)
#2 again on is4. as it will be moved to tier X, will it get more HP (it should), if yes, will it be more/same/less than IS7?


Virtus, on 03 May 2011 - 03:59 PM, said: 1. Any chance for some new battle type with limits in tank types? For example 2 artys per team, 4 tds ...
2. PzI and PzI C tanks, question is when we will have them, they are dead end with just two tanks.
3. I have a pz38 with hetzer reaserched, in new patch pz38 will lose link to hetzer, pz38na will get it. What will happen with exp I've spend on that link, will I lose it or get it back.


tabal5000, on 03 May 2011 - 05:18 PM, said: Maybe this was already asked but I'll take a shot anyway
As some people are getting bored of the same matches every time I'll ask
1. Any new news on the new game modes and most importantly,can we expect at least one new mode in the Summer,to spice things up a notch?


Mecha_Lenin, on 03 May 2011 - 07:48 PM, said: I just stumbled upon this old thread
Why camo values on pretty much all soviet tanks are so high? In some cases several times higher than their german counterparts. How is this balanced?

Fimp3n, on 03 May 2011 - 08:15 PM, said: A poll on the forums about what maps people like would be extremely unrepresentative of the community since a lot, if not the majority of players, do not read the forums.
As it is now, the two maps that need reworking are actually the ones that the devs are reworking. It's either magic, or they have a good eye to which maps work and which don't. Komarin is by far the map in most need of a fix, and I can see why Pagorki is being reworked as well. All the other maps in the game are currently balanced. Whether one likes them or not is a whole different thing. Camping is indeed a matter of players. If you're experiencing players who camp on Malinovka it's most likely inexperienced players (we've had a huge influx of those since release) who haven't figured the map out yet. I'm sorry that you have to play with those people, but I strongly suggest you try to "teach" them. For example suggest that your team leave a few big guns in base to defend against possible rushers. Position one or two to keep an eye on the marsh west of the lake so no spotters sneak up that way. Have some secure hill, and wait for some others to secure village so they can provide cover fire while those on hill descend. Don't rush blindly down. Take one position at a time. Work your way down, and then you'll be almost in their base. Of course in Standard Battle this will be hard to get to work, but every once in a while you'll end up on a team that's eager to learn, and that understand what you say. Those games will be a blast.
In the end campers on Malinovka is just as bad as "no-one going on hill" in Himmelsdorf, "Campers in the forest" at Murovanka, "Everyone going through town" at Ensk, the same at Ruinberg and so on and so forth. Every map becomes a drag when your team doesn't cooperate. After several thousand games (pre and post beta) I have to admit that the majority of games played in Standard Battle have been horrible from a tactics point of view. That's the way Standard Battles go. Not much that can be done about it I'm afraid (I might be wrong and there are some fabulous sollution to that).
Malinovka is not the problem however.
I also have a question:
Have there been any post-nerf statistics reviewed for the T29's biggest gun? It seems to be horribly inaccurate and since it's only marginally better than the 90 mm, with it's slow reload and what not I am starting to think about switching back to the 90. The 105 sure isn't worth the 40 000+ xp I had to grind together to get it in my opinion so I'm curious if you have looked at the performance post-nerf.
Also, is there a reason why the 105 for the T29 have different models depending on which turret you use? And me and other clan members have also experienced big difference in accuracy with the 105 depending on which turret you use. Is this an illusion? Care to look into it?


Keulz, on 03 May 2011 - 11:42 PM, said: 1 - Everyone knows that mass-camping is something that is killing the fun of the game, so would it be possible to add a rule like :
A time expired draw = no gain for both teams
?
That would push players to create action, doesn't it ?
1bis - Don't you think that awarding (a little) HP loss would help player to get out of their bushes and play ? If not, why ?
2 - You said that US TD line won't come with the M103 & M110 (if i understood correctly), so what will happen to the T30 ? Will it be in TD line AND heavy line at the same time ?
3 - For clans, any ETA on the possibility to promote recruits to other positions ? (deputy...)
4 - Why will the T23 disapear, and not be transformed in a premium tank, like the T34 ?
5 - I know the detail on the modules of modified tanks are to be determined, but do you think the T30 will keep its 155 ?
6 - As it is now, people aren't awarded for tracking an opponent to help others destroy him, do you think it's good as it is ? Couldn't it be changed ?
Thank you and i look forward to your answers.

Quote when?
when is the update going to be deployed?


Quote "I wonder about one thing.
I have a PzIII/IV atm and half way to the VK3001P, but after the update the (P) will go into the heavy line and there will be no way to get from that tank back to the Panther line. Will (P) owners get a VK3001(H) as well, or do we have to get26k xp on the PzIII/IV again?"


Quote Btw i dont mind reversing 88mm gun buff it is in general bad solution for flawed tech tree , but please put tiger and tiger (p) to tier6 where they belong considering there armor values.


Quote So, VK36 is now a heavy tank? If so will it be a change in its specs?


Quote question to teh devs: If Ive got VK3001P, and I research VK3002(DB). Will I have Tiger P researched after changes are applied or i'll have to play that abomination again to get Tiger P unlocked?
