Celestia, on 26 February 2012 - 11:55 PM, said: Wedge hull sloped at 65 degree's
This is the design that comes up in ALL concepts of the tank I have seen, such as this one

The Developing engineer's at wargaming apparently said that because the hull was cast, it would be eliptical like the M013/M48 patton
And judging by all the pictures and video's I have seen the hull of the T110 is just a copy/paste job of the M103 hull, but with a road wheel cut out.
This is a post where someone took the above design and used a 3D imaging program and made a 3D model of the hull shape.
http://forum.worldof...ost__p__1382675

The_Chieftain is very well known over in the US community and he is a "Military Specialist" working for Wargaming and is a huge part of the US community and forums.
Here is the post where The_Chieftain says he received a reply from the developers that the T110 is going to be changed and will get a wedge hull, at some point in the future, somewhere in that thread is him saying he sent a huge ass e-mail to whoever decides these things as an argument to get the hull changed.

_smola_, on 26 February 2012 - 10:56 PM, said: Unlike the current, so called "egg-shell" hull, the "new", suppousedly historically more corect is a "wedge" shaped hull, which would allow benefit from angling. Unlike the egg sheel, which like the IS3 and IS7 front, doesn't benefit from angling. On the contrary...
Like I said, The_Chieftain, US army specialist and WG employee (at least he says so) had supposedly been promised that the T110 would get it's historically correct hull shape, not just the same hull the M103 has. And then, a few days ago, a russian Q&A topic said that that is incorrect. Do you have any reliable info regarding the subject?
Of course, I don't expect it to come out in 7.2, since the patch is delayed enough as it is, but maybe in a later time...
Tnx!

Snib, on 26 February 2012 - 09:59 PM, said: If it helps, the same question was put to SerB and he said that the hull will remain unchanged and that he had no idea why The_Chieftain made such a statement.
Oh come on, you're responding to that random gibberish that seems to have been a match-maker whine but skipped my original question that he took the chart from?
Even if you don't want to respond and don't comment unofficial data, I invite you to stop by my thread, download my tool to help you count the maps from your replays (feel free to count by hand if you don't trust me) and you'll notice the noob maps are the maps you played most often on your high tiers as well.

Sech, on 27 February 2012 - 06:32 AM, said: А вы не думали над смягчением требования относительно балтийских IP? 4 человека из Прибалтики в каждом бою, из 7 - это довольно много. Для сравнения, например, в Чемпионате России по футболу прописан лимит на легионеров в 7 человек (из 11, ежели чо) - т.е. "негражданами" может быть более половины из игроков на поле.
Скажем, 3 человека из Прибалтики в каждом бою? Если слишком либерально, то можно ввести ещё требование на наличие вообще в команде игроков с прибалтийскими IP - точнее, на их количество.

NA team is not responsible for Overlord’s blog. Moreover, it’s not an official source, but just a hobby blog of one of Developers. Now that Overlord is concentrating on the work with World of Warplanes, he is very busy and may no time to update things.

Snortsch, on 25 February 2012 - 03:13 AM, said: US Forum Q&A
The Match maker is a complicated issue that is being addressed. Players would like to see both more even battles, (less 15-0), balanced artillery with a maximum number in a game, scouts being available in only those battles that artillery are present, platoon balance, not constantly being put in the lowest tiers in a battle, and the spread of the tiers. This all needs to be done without taking a long time to find you a match.
While complicated, the first version of this new Match Maker should be available around the 7.2 timeframe. It will take into account many of the above listed issues that players have brought up. The one thing that will be absent is a hard 3 tier spread.
Hi Overlord,
This answer from the Q&A on the US forum gives me the impression that WN has given up it's resistance
against a hard cap for artillery in random games.
Is there really going to be a hard cap on arty with the new matchmaker? If yes than, how high is it?
With the new French arty around the corner I'm getting a "little" concerned about arty with magazines and
turnable turrets.
Thanks for taking the time

DerZivilist, on 24 February 2012 - 09:36 AM, said: Hi Overlord, I have a question on one of the upcoming new skills:
Off Road Master - Skill Reduces the ground resistance for terrain currently being traversed. This increases the mobility of vehicle on such soils and reduces the time necessary to speed up to the maximum.
As far as I know, World of Tanks knows three grades of terrain quality, which are assigned to different areas on a map. For example on Malinovka, the dirt roads are grade 1 (best), the open fields are grade 2, and the forests and swampy areas are grade 3 (worst).
Q1: Is the design intent of that skill to improve performance on all three terrain types (which the skill description suggests), or only to bring performance on grade 2 and 3 closer to performance on grade 1 (which the skill name suggests)?
Q2: Will it be a uniform bonus across all grades, or will some grades get a bigger bonus than others?
Personally, I would love it if the skill also worked on grade 1 terrain. There are many tanks in the game who cannot reach their top speed even on the best possible terrain quality. Allowing this skill to improve that would make it suitable for some of the slower, heavier vehicles as well and not only the scouts and flankers, thereby offering more options for a larger number of players.

Makikou, on 23 February 2012 - 09:02 AM, said: About the new crew skills:
A) Last Ditch Attempt: Does this perk have a chance of happening? If it does, what is the chance? (1-5%?) How long will it keep transmitting enemy positions? I'm afraid this will mean scouts can just suicide rush in randoms and get hefty loads of exp when using this perk.
B )Is there any conditions to the commander's "Premonition" perk success rate? It seems far too "must have" to compare to commander's other skills, with the current description of the skill, it seems quite OP compared to others.
C )Driver skills, any %-rates for chance/increase in speed at different terrains (off-road master) or turning rate (Ace)?
Thanks, especially A) and B ) skills really worry the finnish WoT community about making this game more rush or camp based because of such perks.

I know the tank is not released yet, but there is a thread on the NA forum about it's armour where The_Chieftain (WG employee and military specialist, as I understand) said that T110 will get a wedge shaped hull, probably not immediately, but in some time in the future...
Thanks for the answer and for all your efforts to answer our questions!

Random think avarage is good so happen distribution is not equal
some players suck more and more as compared to others (MathchMaker= Meds vs Heavys Team 1 KV KV KV on 1 side opposite Team 2 PzIV, PzIII/IV, PzIII/IV and non in platoon This is the smart??? why not mixed)
