RAZORLIGHT, on 27 February 2011 - 03:33 PM, said: Yes it had 120mm armor but only a prototype and they didnt used
this version further because it was too heavy >>> slow +
T-54 only used 520HP engine maybe 560hp engine too.
either you nerf his speed maneuverability and so on or nerf his armor this tank is way too strong, there is no reason to play is-4 because t-54 nearly has same (front) armor same HP better maneuverability and same firepower.
really if you keep the 120mm version give the Maus the 150mm gun, or give the stug III its latest version 80mm front!
but to be on topic
a rough date when the "buffs" for the germans will apply on the server?

Thx for taking a look on it.
Fimp3n, on 28 February 2011 - 04:30 PM, said: I'm not sure I understand. Did the tank or the engine get an
improved fuel system?
The engine T-55U was introduced on the T-54 in 1983 according to the only sources I have looked at (none of which is wikipedia).
Oh, I am, and I keep telling everyone else that too. I'm just worried about anachronisms.
Laughter, on 28 February 2011 - 05:42 PM, said: We've been hearing about these commander tanks. One of the
abilities:
"Will provide its owner with special commander's chart for giving orders".
Could you shed some light on what this actually means? For instance in BF2/BF2142 a commander has a map of the battle area with options each side such as 'Attack this position' Lighting up a an area with a mark and a line from you to that area. Will it be similar?

premium after release?
I really dont want to have to buy gold every time me and my pals feel like playing a couple of games...
Also, if there will be a way, will there be a player restriction? (We are about... 4 or 5 people playing together, though only 3 at a time due to Platoon restrictions.)

Fimp3n, on 28 February 2011 - 10:47 PM, said: I have read the patch notes. Unless they lower the height of the
hull of the T-54, increasing clearance will result in the whole

Either way, like I said I guess we'll just have to wait and see the results for ourselves, right?

Oh, I am, and I keep telling everyone else that too. I'm just worried about anachronisms.
Overlord: It is the engine that was improved in 1983. U means -
improved/modernized.
Indeed this engine was mounted on T-54 in 1983. See the pic below:
https://lh5.googleus...4-55engines.JPG
Theoretically some other even more powerful engines could have been mounted on T-54 as well, e.g. the series based on V-12:
1. 1944 - V-14 (800 hp), V-12U (700 and 750 hp)
2. 1945 - V-16F (700 hp), V-16 FN (800 hp)
These engines suit T-54s layout but were not mounted due to some other, non-technical reasons. Guess, not many would like them to be mounted on T-54 in-game.
As a side example, Maybach HL 234 P 50 (980 hp) wasn't mounted on Panther II. Maybach HL 234 (800 hp) was the last one in the series.

Overlord: 1. Platoon starter will need to have premium account. As it is
now.
2. Bigger platoons is a good thing, but it can not be implemented due to some technical restrictions and, especially current match-making mechanics. Would be rather difficult and/or time-consuming to balance platoon of 5 tier 10 heavies properly.

misunderstanding.

current version and compare it to the new model tomorrow.

I realise that playing CWs soon after the release will give players that reach higher tiers fast a big advantage. But honestly I dont see the problem with that.
It's cool that WoT has released the championships http://forum.worldof...es/page__st__40 and that may reignite many people's interest.
But I think CWs is still easilly the biggest pull for most of us.
So is there any chance of knowing when WoT will decide about exactly when CW beta will be released?
For me personally having an exact date - that we can rely on - will make a huge difference and keep me motivated.

Fimp3n, on 27 February 2011 - 04:56 PM, said: Questions:
What made you choose to solve the problem of the tank being slowed down by the prototype plate by putting on an engine that wasn't introduced for the T-54 until mid 1980's?
Wouldn't the more obvious solution be to lower the thickness and weight of the front plate, removing the anachronistic engine, and thus letting the tank retain it's speed and maneuverability?
If you haven't already, will you at least try this out for yourselves? Make a version like this (99 mm front plate, no 1983 engine, lower total weight of the tank to retain speed and maneuverability) and test it, and perhaps share the results with us players?

While Gearbox (that green area in front of german tanks) is considered as engine - this is simply wrong, and as You may see IS dont have that hitbox.
Gearbox damage should result in tracks damage and speed reducion not engine damage nor fire. Bit since its considered as an engine hits in that area result in fire.

Overlord: Actually we could make engine and transmission as 2 separate
modules, but in reality:
- being hit in transmission vehicle wasn't able to move
- being hit in transmission vehicle could catch fire because of a few litres inflammable oil in it (transmission).
So even if we make transmission separate, its damage mechanics will be similar to engine mechanics.

Fimp3n, on 22 February 2011 - 08:58 PM, said: Hello. I have a question regarding training rooms.
Do you plan to incorporate any or all of the following:
1. No cost for ammunition spent in training rooms.
2. An option for unlimited time in a training room.
3. An option for friendly fire off (which would come in handy when practicing returning fire when getting hit as it would simply let you practice for a longer time instead of just getting blown to pieces after a few shots).
Thanks for the word.
WhiteHyena, on 22 February 2011 - 09:00 PM, said: When/If the Maus secondary gun works (and that goes for any other
tanks with multiple guns)- will it be able to fire independently/at
the same time as the main armament? I'd love to know more details
about how you're planning this system.
My other Maus related question is can you please change the Maus' engine so that it can actually stop when going down a hill? Currently even a slight incline will send the Maus shooting forward literally unable to stop even if you put it in full reverse >_< On some maps this makes Maus utterly unplayable- El Haulluf being an example.
edit: Oh I've got another one. I know you are raising the height of the T-54 by 15cm but are you planning to actually increase the size of the model too? The current model is an awful lot smaller than a T-54 ever was/is in reality.
waylander1, on 22 February 2011 - 08:35 PM, said: Moved from another thread.
Hi just want to check on a few things from the patch notes information and a few questions.
1. - Fixed certain cases of disappearing shells. Can you clarify what cases these are and what cases are not involved ? i.e is it certain tanks that are being looked into ?
2. Patch time line. We now have the dates for the patch going from today up to the 4th of March, will this have a knock on effect for the game launch?
3. Can we have an indication of how much Experience is needed to get a crew from 50% to 100% in their normal crew skill and also how much experience is then needed for each additional skill.
4. Will a fixed repair bill ever come in for a tank i.e a VK3601 will cost 5K of credits for being destroyed in battle and a IS-7 will cost 15K rather than the system we have now.
5. I see paypal will be one of the payment systems used, will it be setup so people without paypal accounts can still order via it as they can on some other games.
6. There is as always a story going round regarding another X5 exp event before the game launch, could you confirm or deny if this will happen and if so when ? This would allow players to either hold off on researching and buying tanks now and wait for the event to push onto a higher tank or even trying out a different countries tech tree.
Thanks....

Are the T8 SPG stats finalised yet? Do we get to see them before the release to decide which nation to choose?
And one a bit more theoretical: so far the clan limit is 100 players (as far as i remember). What if some clan, already registered, plans to have a sister clan estabelished due to the player limit, but that sister clan isnt registered. Is there any way of getting that sister clan registered in easier way than new registration?

We already know there will be more of them, which is great, but are all of the future skills passive ones - active for the whole time? Will there be also active skills requiring activation, lasting certain amount of time, and then have cooldown time after the effect wears off?

I'm under the impression they work like this: I pay for one then you email me a code which I enter after the game goes live, yes?
If that's the case, is the code tied to the email address/user account?

others,
Exp from 1% to 2% takes 100 Exp points and to go from 99% to 100% take 5000 Exp points.
This will help players do the math a bit more when buying crew members as will give them a better idea of long long it will take.

RokRoland, on 24 February 2011 - 12:36 PM, said: All right, two more questions if I may:
- Crew skills were discussed. Research done by community (sorry, forgot link) suggests that double xp for first win does not apply to crew training. Particularly noticeable when using "accelerated crew training". Can this be confirmed by internal testers, as it surely is not intended?
- Is the damage of regular shells for Tier 8 conical gun KwK 41 L/58 intended, or a typo? If intended due to historical characteristics, how is abysmal performance with regular and superior performance with premium shells justified balance-wise? Background:
Tier 8 conical gun KwK 41 L/58 has extremely strange characteristics. It is tier 8 gun but has about half the DPS of a typical tier 8 gun (typically in the 2000+ range, ~1100 for this) and same or worse penetration. It has a very fast aim time and it is very accurate. However, when used with gold ammo the gun gets over 150% increase in damage (2,5 times) as well as increased penetration. Typically gold ammo just increases penetration with possible slight increase in dmg.

fabse, on 24 February 2011 - 01:54 PM, said: My question is about shooting without a functionalof the
rangefinder.
Shells in this game have limitied speed, ranging from something like 900-1100 m/s on normal tanks, aomething like 500 m/s on arty.
I suppose they do feel normal gravity, so g=9.81 m/s^2 accelerates them downwards to the ground. Arty shells must feel a stronger gravity force, i figure it must be at least 10 times larger since their range is limited so badly.
Lets suppose i am in a normal tank, my shell velocity is 1000 m/s, and i am shooting a target that is 500 meters away from me. My shot takes half a second to reach that target and while flying it drops:
s = 1/2*g*t^2 =(roughly)=1/8*10 m =(roughly)= 1.25 m
Because i think i can hit pretty good on distances of 500 meters without really trying to aim these 1.25 m above my target i think that the game corrects this automatically and aims above the target for me.
It would make sense to me if it would stop doing this if my rangefinder is out of action (therefore the message: Our rangefinder took a hit, we can only shoot close targets).
So... please correct me if i am wrong or say something if i am right
Follow up question:
To prevent freak accidents (like a shot dealing double the damage, or flying backwards) the probabilty distibution (if it is a normal one) has to be cutoff.
At what relaitve probabilty (relative to the maximum) is this done in the three cases (damage, penetration, dispersion).

Vendelin, on 24 February 2011 - 04:34 PM, said: another questions! (hopefully ill get my first ones answered
)
1. what exact bonus provide having extra crew members/more loaders/more gunners (or having / not having radio operator for example)? whats the difference between 2 loaders and only one loader?
2. is having only 4 crew members going to level them faster than having 6 of em? i.e. the exp is split between 4/6 (the lower members-more xp-faster levels?)? or when you have 6 you get bigger share of xp to your crew, so they level +/- the same?
Vendelin, on 24 February 2011 - 01:09 PM, said: yay, ban is gone 
so Overlord, i got few questions:
1. is there any chance to get an option to retrain crew not only from tank to tank, but from "profesion" to "profesion"?? like, i got 2 gunners in garage both awesome secondary skills, but i need driver to my tank, it would REALLY help to be able to retrain gunner/commander/loader etc. into driver/radio etc. it could use similar retraining cost in exp/cred/gold as when retraining for vehicle class
2. any chance to get details on the increasing height of t54? which part of the tank will be increased, or is that going to apply to whole model? (like, 15cm more turret, or 15cm more hull height etc)
PanzerKnacker, on 24 February 2011 - 11:07 PM, said: I hope this is in the right section, it's not about gameplay
but,
what do specific numbers in the patches mean?
now we have 0.6.2.8, and the next patch is 0.6.3.8 right?
Why isn't it 0.6.4 or 0.7? Do the numbers have specific meaning?
I'm sorry if it's a stupid question.
Vendelin, on 25 February 2011 - 12:15 AM, said: and not to be completely OT, there were some rumours about T30
(america heavy) is going to be moved to TD line. Is that true? or
is it going to stay as t10 heavy for USA?
also the change to american tech tree, i read somwhere that they are going to be significant, is this going to happen after launch or before? or with launch?
Makikou, on 25 February 2011 - 12:33 AM, said: Any idea when youre going to revamp the US tree? Easy Eight Sherman
is so underpowered for its tier 
Sturmtiger_304, on 25 February 2011 - 12:29 PM, said: Numbers aren't everything, the E8 is indeed too weak for it's tier
when faced in tier 8 & 9 battles.Is it possible with a tier
decrease for the E8 anytime soon?
Vendelin, on 25 February 2011 - 12:43 PM, said: ok so my last question about crew, when you have 2 loaders with
116%, (commander 11% and vent) are they going to reload faster than
only one loader with 116% ?
so basically are those extra % averaged, or added? (which would mean they reload faster due to having more extra %)

patch is released, the registration will start. Under any
circumstances it will be done prior to the release.
Clan wars beta will start after release. Initially a few months gap was planned so as to allow the majority of players to reach high tier vehicles, but it is quite possible it will be shorter.

20-25% if all the crewmen survived.
2. Not a typo. Initially only premium shells were planned for this gun, then we added regular ones as well.

make any adjustments manually, your gunner does them on his
own.
If I do remember right, 2.5-sigma interval is in use.

if one of the two loaders was knocked out, loading speed decreases

Vendelin, on 24 February 2011 - 01:09 PM, said: yay, ban is gone so Overlord, i got few questions:
1. is there any chance to get an option to retrain crew not only from tank to tank, but from "profesion" to "profesion"?? like, i got 2 gunners in garage both awesome secondary skills, but i need driver to my tank, it would REALLY help to be able to retrain gunner/commander/loader etc. into driver/radio etc. it could use similar retraining cost in exp/cred/gold as when retraining for vehicle class
2. any chance to get details on the increasing height of t54? which part of the tank will be increased, or is that going to apply to whole model? (like, 15cm more turret, or 15cm more hull height etc)
Overlord: 1. Actually this was under consideration, but due to some technical
restrictions we had to give up the idea.
2. It should apply to its height in general, you will be able to assess it on your own next week.

PanzerKnacker, on 24 February 2011 - 11:07 PM, said: I hope this is in the right section, it's not about gameplay
but,what do specific numbers in the patches mean?
now we have 0.6.2.8, and the next patch is 0.6.3.8 right?
Why isn't it 0.6.4 or 0.7? Do the numbers have specific meaning?
I'm sorry if it's a stupid question.
Overlord: It's not stupid at all. These are internal indices. Usually the
version contains 3 or 4 digits. Basically the exact index depends
on significance of the upcoming changes (e.g. new tech tree is
likely start a new decimal numeration - 0.X), and the number of
internal bilds and/or supertest updates that may be deployed prior
to public release.
Next patch is 0.6.3.8, then comes 0.6.4.x series, then - 0.7.

Vendelin, on 25 February 2011 - 12:15 AM, said: and not to be completely OT, there were some rumours about T30
(america heavy) is going to be moved to TD line. Is that true? or
is it going to stay as t10 heavy for USA?also the change to american tech tree, i read somwhere that they are going to be significant, is this going to happen after launch or before? or with launch?
Overlord: T30? No comments.
Yes, some major changes are being considered, possibly to all existing trees. We will announce them as soon as they are finalized. Definitely after the release.

Makikou, on 25 February 2011 - 12:33 AM, said: Any idea when youre going to revamp the US tree? Easy Eight Sherman
is so underpowered for its tier Overlord: 1. Can't give any ETA on it.
2. Actually I wouldn't say so, according to performance data we have E8 is second to VK3601 (the strongest tier 6 medium).

Sturmtiger_304, on 25 February 2011 - 12:29 PM, said: Numbers aren't everything, the E8 is indeed too weak for it's tier
when faced in tier 8 & 9 battles.Is it possible with a tier
decrease for the E8 anytime soon?Overlord: Talking about tiers, M4A3E8 suits its own tier better than e.g. T23
does. E8 is unlikely to ungergo any significant revision in the
near future.
Vendelin, on 25 February 2011 - 12:43 PM, said: ok so my last question about crew, when you have 2 loaders with
116%, (commander 11% and vent) are they going to reload faster than
only one loader with 116% ?so basically are those extra % averaged, or added? (which would mean they reload faster due to having more extra %)
Overlord: Average loading skill per crew is taken into account.
Two loaders with 116% skill work with the same effectiveness as one loader with 116% skill (assuming there is one loader in crew).

The 105mm T5E1 on T-29 has a muzzle break with the stock turret. After upgrading to T136 turret, the T5E1 is shorter and the muzzle break is gone. Is this intended by devs?

Overlord: Not a bug, on the second turret T5E1's muzzle break is dismounted,
consequently the gun is 41cm shorter.

Vallter: We are still working on the problem. For we can say the
following:
Because of features of your keyboards you have to switch on WoT application in your keyboard's screen first (it will appear after launching the game client, but sometimes appear as a set of letters) and only after that keyboard will be operational.
Additional mouse buttons work properly, but because of peculiarity of BigWorld Engine additional keyboard keys don't set up properly from the game client

LiannaSilverwind: Matchmaking intentionally puts scout tanks such as Pz III vs. much
higher opposition. You can check current matchmaking table here:
http://forum.worldof...ost__p__336432.
In order to defeat campers team must be coordinated, which is not easy in random battles, where some people play for themselves, not for the team.
SPGs can really oneshoot tanks in case tanks are not sturdy enough and SPGs directly hit them. Ideal target for SPGs are camping tanks that are spotted. Trying to play SPG myself helped me a lot in getting knowledge about cover and deadzones for every map.
Thank you for your impressions!
