Overlord: Go medium path, if you want to get medium tanks, go heavy path, if you want to get heavy ones. It's quite easy.

Vallter: The gift tank was selected? and it won't be changed. Also, there is special criteria for CBT testers, so only devoted WoT players will receive this present.

Vallter: We will add some level limits in upcoming updates.

Overlord: We have contacted playspan already. Waiting for their reply.

Vallter: You are free to use such tank skins. But I personally find it unsporting.

Vallter: I suggest you to read the following topic:
http://forum.worldof...ssed-a-miracle/

Vallter: Sounds like a good old critical hit on ammunition.

Vallter: We will think about adding mute feature in upcoming updates.

Overlord: It is likely to get 120mm front hull weighing about 60 tons, most possible engine is Maybach HL234 900 h.p. which is expected to produce up to 1200 HP with supercharging.

Don't know how it is going to work in game. Must be a peculiar MT.
E-50 chassis - Einheitslaufwerk produced by MAN.

Vallter: Thank you for your suggestions. We will pass your opinion to proper specialists.

Vallter: At least on month after the game release. But we will try to launch it faster.

Overlord: You can make any necessary corrections using your old translation. Hope you still have, don't you? Don't see a problem here actually. Just use red font for all the corrections.

Overlord: Since premium tanks don't have any researchable modules, they are unlikely to get additional armor plates.
If armor plates introduced as equipment, which is less likely, they might be able to use it.

Overlord: Commented.
Lowe would be comparable to KT.

Overlord: The specs are being finalized now. You can see some here.

Overlord: Tier 8 SPGs will have only one gun each. At least for some time.
Object 261 - 180mm B-1-P naval gun.
GW-E - 210mm Morser 18/2.
T92 - 240mm M1.

Overlord: The statement is incorrect. We haven't started the work on British tanks yet.

Overlord: For educational purposes. Not a bug.

Overlord: Currently not planned to be added. Possibly later.

Overlord: Somewhat close to fully upgraded KT.

Overlord: Refer to this guide.

Overlord: View range is manually limited to 500m in all directions because of the technical limitation on max draw distance which varies from 500m to 707m.

Vallter: Ok, soon they will be implemented. What are you waiting? What suggestions do you have.

Cheeka: The World of Tanks Team together with Armchair General are offering an unprecedented deal: design your own tank and it will appear on the battlefields of World War II
Design your tank contest

Overlord: Going to be a medium in game.

Overlord: Hit-box bug. Will be working on it.

OldFox: It`s very good! But we need an official version, because unofficail version can`t work 100% stabile. I ask to contact me the author of this localization. Compensation is guaranteed

Overlord: E50 will be a medium tank.

Overlord: Currently only one tank which is not on the full tree is planned to be added. It's VK2801.

Overlord: No idea currently.

Overlord: Schwere Lowe, max speed limit will be higher than KT has at the moment despite the increased weight and less powerful engine.
It's strong point would be highly sloped turret effectively bouncing shots

Overlord: Approximately.

Overlord: Yup, the same. I'd recommend this website, it's in Russian, but should be understandable.

Overlord: Somewhat similar, ~93-99 tons, 800 hp engine.

Overlord: This sort of information is not subject to be shared. Even within the company.

Overlord: For two reasons:
1) Lowe is not in the game yet.
2) It's going to be a "regular" premium tank, purchasable in game.

Overlord: Yup, though the gun would be 10.5cm L/70.

Overlord: We will have to adjust somehow, I guess. Will see.

Overlord: Yes, T-64 is the first "official" Soviet MBT.

Overlord: Technically M26 can be considered to be the first one (combined functions of HT and MT). Though there is an obvious lack of uniformity when it comes to the definition of MBT.

OldFox: We look for estonian players for WoT client translation to estonian language. Requirements: good knowledge of Russian (or English) and Estonian languages. For details please contact me by personal messages.

Overlord: No, that won't work. EU stuff (gold, pre-orders, etc) is for EU server, US stuff is for US server.

Overlord: Here in Belarus, the majority of software developers are expempt of value added tax and income tax.

Overlord: SteT,
thanks for proof-reading and corrections. Will pass them on.

Overlord: Our guys will see to it.

Overlord:

LiannaSilverwind: Quick answer: Yes. I do it every day due to my card limit, it works.

Overlord: Addressing players from Poland here, did you guys have any troubles pre-ordering? According to our logs, there might have been some issues.

Overlord: It's a bug with Fadin's medal. One should hit the enemy directly, splash doesn't count.
Will be fixed in v.0.6.4.

Overlord: Personally I was prepared for the worse.

Overlord: It can be activated since April 12, that's the only limitation.

Vallter: Pre-Order package is valid only for the specific server. This means, that USA package can redeemed only on the American server, as well as EU - only on the European. This is so because of many reasons, including juristic.
This set was considered the best for the Pre-Order packages.
And yes, this questions were answered

Vallter: Dear Players!
If you don't receive the code in some hours, please, contact our Support Center immediately. They will help you ASAP!

LiannaSilverwind: Russian forum Developers Questions and Answers
Version of 15th March 2011.
Translated by me. Did not translate specific Russian-server questions nor Clan Wars questions as they are in beta now.
Changes in German line will come in one certain patch or will be added gradually?
Gradually.
Will you add alternative line of German TDs altogether or gradually?
They will come altogether.
When will you add intermediate and alternative tank lines?
Over time. We will provide information when it is ready.
Will we lose modules we cannot demount if we play historical battles or will it be possible to remove them for historical battles?
Historical battles are currently under development; therefore we cannot provide an answer for now.
We can enjoy automatical cannon sounds in sandbox battles now. When will we get similar sounds in other battles? Will we hear epic sound of incoming SPG shell? When will new sounds appear?
Sounds will be added and changed over time.
What kind of new team-based or random modes can we expect for immediate future?
For immediate future – fighting for the one base only and assault/defense mode.
Do you plan to change interface so that we will get real tactical data of the tank, unlike current ideal data?
Yes, it is planned
Can you add screenshots folder to the client so that screenshots will be saved there? It will be much more comfortable.
We do not plan to do that yet.
Why APCR shell for D54T cannon is more powerful than shells from the top cannons of Panther II and Pershing?
T-54 has better penetration, while Panther II and Pershing deal more damage per hit.
Knocked-out crew member gains only 50% experience after battle. What will happen if I’d heal him up with first aid kit before the end of battle?
He will get 100% experience.
Do you consider an option to exchange experience to free experience without using gold? For example 1:10 ratio?
No.
I often meet allies who hysterically ping the map during the battle, preventing the team to coordinate its efforts. Even after being killed, they still continue in their hysteria. Can you limit amount of map pings for 1-2-x per minute?
It is possible.
Do you plan to implement “Soft Wipe” option for gold?
No.
After you change Pagorki, will you also change other maps?
We will make changes on Karelia and Erlenberg.
How big will be crew for 8th tier SPGs?
Every SPG will get its own crew, but no larger than 6.
Lowe is 8th tier and KV-5 is?
7th tier.
Why did you decide to remove modules weight when calculating tank’s weight for matchmaking?
Because players did not understand how tanks of different tanks were considered being equal due to their modules. So they asked even more questions about matchmaking than now.
Please tell us more about your plans for content changes (not new tanks) for immediate future? What is your highest priority?
Content is new maps and new tanks. We will add both.
What will happen if I mount both optics and telescope and stay still? Will I get both bonuses (+10% +25%)?
They will work both. It will be changed though.
Do you plan to add option for mounting different modules on premium tanks?
Not for now.
I have read about removal of shaking effects while firing, being hit or stopping. Is it true? Is it needed?
Shaking is being done on a client; therefore it can be changed by user himself, which was already done by certain not honest people. It is quite hard to protect against such a change, so we decided to make it legal for all players by making ingame option to turn off shaking.

Vallter: We know about this and we are currently working on fixing it.

LiannaSilverwind: Official answer: No.

Vallter: As it was mentioned, you possibly received 2-3 shots and only one were displayed in the bottom log messages. This happens some times.

Overlord: The translation for Terms of Service seems to be missing.

Vallter: You can buy the Pre-Order package from our advertising page:
