Jeremy Taylor: ANNOUNCEMENT:
In order to avoid some misunderstandings that may occur among newcomers I will repeat myself: the closed beta test for the EU/US audiences has not been launched yet and we'll start it a bit later. However, this is not a secret anymore, the closed beta for the Russian audience is already out. There's a specific group of enthusiasts on these forums who have joined the ongoing Russian closed beta notwithstanding the language barrier, and we do appreciate their interest in the game. However, due to some misunderstandings that have already occurred, I will start the closed forum section for such forum members where they can share their experience about the Russian closed beta testing. This exact thread will be closed from here on. Forum members who are already beta testers of the Russian closed beta version may contact me privately so I could give them the corresponding invisible status and rights to socialize on the closed forum section dedicated to the Russian closed beta.

Jeremy Taylor: The system of upgrading, costs and XP rates are at their closed-beta testing just the same as the game itself. Beta testers who take part in closed beta are helping us reveal some drawbacks and improve the balance. That is why we really appreciate your feedback and we do understand that sometimes it is really difficult to control one's feelings but:

Link on message: #2498

Jeremy Taylor: Tree branches affect the visibility factor but have no influence on shooting itself. Breaking small branches by moving a barrel is not possible at that moment from technology standpoint as tracking this type of collision is extremely difficult in MMO games. World of Tanks has already introduced some very cool features in its gameplay that have never been offered in other MMO games before.

Is Development of the 2 games the same, or are you doing diferent things from the Russian version?
Edit: on Russian servers i'm runnin at 140 ping average, which for being across the globe is very nice.

Jeremy Taylor: We are glad to know that your ping is rather good regarding that you're located in Canada. We are planning to launch the separate server in North America to provide smooth game experience for players in the USA, Canada and Latin America. The Russian language version and the English version will not differ as this could hurt the clan war gameplay otherwise. Moreover, we are planning to launch more than two versions of different languages.

Jeremy Taylor: The advantage in light tanks may lead to easy victory if used wisely. The balance in World of Tanks plays an extremely important role, true. But in the end the result of each battle depends entirely on the following factors just exactly in that order:
- Team cooperation
- Individual skills
- The types of vehicles

Jeremy Taylor: We have introduced relatively high costs for some shells of some specific fighting vehicles due to balance concerns. You can use more "money-saving" vehicles regularly to save enough money for purchasing shells for your beloved Tiger or IS-3 (let me repeat myself: there are 5 slots at your hangar, not one only). We don't want World of Tanks battlefields to be overcrowded with heavy tanks. Moreover, we are still working on the credit strategy in our game so prices may be reduced later on.

No IS-2? That seems incredible.
Bill

Jeremy Taylor: The only difference between IS-1 and IS-2 is the 122mm barrel installed on IS-2. As the player may easily upgrade his IS-1 with the 122mm barrel we saw no need to single out IS-2. KV-2 represents the KV-1 original model with the turret of bigger diameter and 152mm gun. Thus, you may easily turn your KV-1 into KV-2 model through corresponding upgrades.

Silentline, on 04 March 2010 - 06:30 PM, said: Or you could take a blind guess of where they would go next put a shell there.

Jeremy Taylor: This is true. If the enemy is not reflected on your mini map or you cannot see it at the specific area (just because your radio hasn't captured the enemy at this location yet) it doesn't mean that the enemy is not really there. Knowing the map in details, which is inevitable through regular game practicing, gives you the information about the enemy's most favorite ambush locations. Hitting such places from to time may give results.
Very often the foe is spotted by the arty radio at the specific spot but moving a few meters aside it becomes invisible. Aiming at the possible enemy further coordinates from the place where it was initially spotted and putting a shell there is very often efficient. So this is not simply a blind guess shooting. This skill of predicting the enemy upcoming movements may be extremely helpful when playing the self-propelled howitzers.

Maps created by users would mean loads of additional information (you should agree that additional content is not always equal to high quality content) that will exceed the client weight and cause problems to the server functioning.

m4rek, on 04 March 2010 - 01:51 AM, said: Will we be able to hide the GUI and all components of it (including disabling the red outline / tank identification)?
Will we be able to zoom in to get a camera view equivalent to first-person or camera mounted to the end of the barrel? (Either with no parts of the tank visible or as a coaxial on the turret, showing the gun to the side)
Will we be able to create uneven matches for the purposes of film-making?
Will we be able to get a camera view of a travelling shell (in slow motion)? [think Sniper Elite bullet cam for good kills]
Will the game feature an SDK to allow the user to create game components like Maps, Vehicles, or other ingame visual things? This would be purely for film-making, but submissions could be tested by the dev team and included into the game officially?
Any chance at all of custom game modes using features already included in the game? Like creating a Tower Defence type game (path based vs convoy) or a Defend [target] (against waves of randomly spawned but increasingly tougher tanks)?
Will there be a spectator cam (free movement)?

Jeremy Taylor: q.1 We are still working on that concept and can't tell for the moment whether the possibility of hiding GUI and its components will be available.
q.2 The main mode is the third person view with four scales of remoteness from your tank and possibility to freely rotate the camera around the vehicle. You are able to zoom in to get the camera mounted at the end of your vehicle barrel when other vehicle's parts are not visible.
q.3,4,5 We are working on a very long-playing project. For the moment we are completely focused on core gameplay but after the release we will be adding multiple great features. Film-making features will definitely be introduced. SDK is a bit more controversial subject but it is being examined thoroughly.
q.6 We will definitely introduce modes that will be played for fun or training (I've already hinted at Survival mode).
q.7 There will be a “following camera” mode where you can stick to your teammate tanks that are still in battle. "Free" camera mode introducing is not out of the question and will be added after the release.

Jeremy Taylor: The crew upgrading system is very simple: the Russian crew corresponds to the Russian fighting vehicles, German crew corresponds to the German fighting vehicles and so on. You will not be able to mix crews and fighting vehicles of different nations. The way crews will differ from each other concerning pros and cons will depend on the way you upgrade them. Every member of a crew will have their own qualities that will influence tank characteristics. The number of crew members will change depending on a chosen tank and will coincide with real data. The tankers will learn their skills relatively fast, and by the time you climb up the top of the development tree, you’ll have several fully experienced tank crews. For example, with a veteran gunner aboard, a tank will be more accurate in shooting and will deliver a larger number of critical hits.

And let me ask you a question: do you really want the community of World of Tanks to consist ONLY of tank building history buffs?
