Whats the point in having the Q&A thread if nobody is Abswering the Questions?
The way its curently going you should rename it in to Q&W (Questions and Whining).
Do your job, or get someone to do it for you, cos we players ask but nobody replies.

Are you finally planing to give some small buff to KV-5?
As it's still performing really badly with it's great MM compared to other tier 8 heavies.
Just making that machinegun turret(R2D2) a lot tougher in the front hull would make the tank a lot better, as you could actually show your frontal armor without everyone penning you through the R2D2.

Thor_Hammerschlag, on 09 June 2012 - 11:14 AM, said: Good moring Overlord from central europe,
I just analysed one of my match ups (matchmaking), because it did make me perplex.
As a WOT veteran I know lots of MM values, but now i did wanted to know how good the weight actually was.
So lets see... here it is:

My question is, how exact is the MM? How many percent MM-value gap does it consider as alright?
In my example its roughtly 5,5 % difference, are there any plans to make MM math better?

E-50 and E-75 were NEVER EVER planned to have frontal transmission, even your ingame model of E-75 doesn't allow to put it on front!

Szalona, on 08 June 2012 - 02:14 PM, said: Overlord - in your addition in your blog about E-75/E-50 transmission nerf you made logical mistake.
You call it small unimportant nerf and calculating it to be ~1,25% of chance of setting fire. But setting fire is not only issue here.
Using your math:
Assuming that transmission is about 25% of the vertical projection of E-50/75 (I bet this is overestimation), internal module has 33% chance of being damaged.
(0.25*0.33)*100%=8,25% of chance of damaging engine wihout setting the fire.
So now we have something like:
8,25% of damaging the transmission (engine) without setting fire - still - huge issue for tank on field being under enemy fire. big loss of movment ablility.
So by simplyfing it we have (very simplified math of below):
8,25% of chance for damaging engine + 1,25% chance of chance of setting fire = 9,5% of doing harm to engine from front. Maybe + is not really what we should have it, but it is probably ~9% chance).
This means: ~1 per 10 shoot penetrating from front shoot will do additional harm to tank other then hp loss! It is basically possible to have this done in every battle - maybe every second battle - be it fire or engine damage!
It is not 1,25% nerf - it is ~9-10% nerf!!!!! (at least, since most poeple aim lower plate)
It is not "minor" nerf. It is "major" nerf to a perfectly balanced tank and it seems you know it by now, just you are (I mean devs) too much focused on trying to proof your point of view that you cant see it.
(so basically your comment here http://overlord-wot....731667120860938 is incorrect).
Also question to this sentence in your blog-post:
So now you are trying to make up some more reasons. But - shouldn't it be ready list of reasons why you move the transmission? It looks like you first make decision, base on "feelings" and now you are trying find any excuse for that. And now as pointed above even your math is "biased" by your need of proving your point of view.

Tarskin, on 08 June 2012 - 02:56 PM, said: No matter how sexy the Leopard tanks are.... they are just too modern for WoT and no tanks that were introduced after 1960 should be implemented. The M103 was first fielded in 1958, The IS-8 was fielded in ~1953 and the AMX50 was first completed in 1953. I have purposefuly not included the Tier Xs as giving a date to those designs would be very hard. The first Leopard 1 to enter service was in 1965, making it roughly 10 years more modern than the other tanks therefore making it unsuited for WoT. Introducing the Leopard 1 would also require the M60, Chieftain and similar tanks to be introduced....
PS: That does not mean that I would not love to have one due to it's looks

HrD, on 08 June 2012 - 02:42 PM, said: Hi,
1) Could you clarify whether the Stug E100 is going to be the tier X TD in the german tree ? so we can know if we need to start earning more xp with the Jagdtiger or if it will still be tier 9 and researchable through the Ferdinand
2) Why did you make the tank markers so small on the minimap in patch 0.7.4 ? they're barely visible now, can you make them bigger again before the patch is released ?

i played by the rules to the letter and was quite enraged that for all the effort there as nothing to show for

one more suggestion
make it clearer about the participation next time

i thought you could only be awarded ONCE but apperantly you could only submit ONCe as the T1
i would have tried to go for absolute aswell otherwise

thank you for resolving this issue and i hope there wont be that much drama from our side next time
