And is there a chance to see more detailed patchnotes? I know you like to generalize "tanks will have their income buffed or nerfed depending on tank", but some would like to know, that, for example PzIV gets 5% buff, M4 gets 8% nerf but 105 HE is buffed so it should even out.

Overlord: T110: "beak" / front hull armour changed from 170mm to 254mm,
dispersion decreased, RoF increased, aiming time increased. Turret
will be rotating a bit slower though.
As for M103, the changes won't be significant. Just minor tweaks.

Plasma_Fire, on 13 March 2012 - 05:56 PM, said: Overlord can you please tell me with the changes to the models of
some of the Soviet tanks in patch 7.2 what model tank was used as
the base line tank (the one WG decided was most accurate) to
develop the scale of the other models from and will they also be
adjusting the other tanks so they are all to the same scale as each
other.
With the new adjustments made and the distinct advantage it gives the Soviet tanks will any kind of rebalance be done until all the models are set to the same scale as each other?

With the new adjustments made and the distinct advantage it gives the Soviet tanks will any kind of rebalance be done until all the models are set to the same scale as each other?
Overlord: We have tightened the acceptable errors in the scale of tank models
and are ready to fix all other inconsistencies that are currently
in game. However when it comes of exact figures and sizes, it's
important to use the same methodology, ie be on the same page, eg
tank's height can be determined based on roof, commander's cupola
or any other device mounted on the turret.
The only 2 tanks that have been changed substantially are IS-7 (note the ammo rack change and sloped side armour reduction in 7.0) and Obj 704. We don't think it would seriously affect the balance, indeed the tanks will be less likely to be hit at high range, at medium range - the reduction won't give them much. As for close combat, it might even become a disadvantage, allowing bigger tanks shot from the above thus reducing impact angle or even fire directly at the roof. Will see how it works out.

afoaa, on 11 March 2012 - 12:05 PM, said: Question about the new MM algorithm.
Does it take into account the real power of tanks or do it still just use tier?
The reason why I ask is because the Tier ranking of tanks have little relation to how strong they are and I think the MM would be much more fair it instead used hits, armor, size, penetration values to generate a power of a tank.
For example setting a PzIV against a KV is very bad on 90% of the map, but they are still tier 5 even though the have no relation what so ever in power.
