IMHO, Exactly opposite will happen.
Strong clans will be not affected by changes or gain more.
Medium clans will collapse.
Weak clans will remain where they are.

iPurposly, on Aug 30 2012 - 19:27, said: Why exactly is tank locking not being put into effect on the NA server? The current state of any clan war right now is the commander just roles a dice to determine which lane they rush and with how many tanks they use in that rush. If tank locking was implemented, it would create a need for more cost effective strategies instead of blind rushes. It would also create a need for more end tier tanks and increase cash flow for wargaming.

Will holding land even be enjoyable? Especially when I can let a weaker clan hold territory, and then I sack a goldpot for a day for way more then what I expend?
All you are doing is changing the best teams from bulls to wolves who'll feed on sheep - everything will change but it will also all stay the same, because you've made the objective of UC to farm in the first place, so clans will simply adapt to farm anyway, regardless of what rules you put into place.

DoniL73, on Aug 26 2012 - 08:49, said: i want to know why the guns stats on tanks are more than the tanks stats on guns in garage, the gun window clearly does more pen and damage, yet averaged out, on the tank, the gun turns to water pistol.
also why are some points on tanks clearly have double to triple armor than stated, say for ex. the front of a Vk3601H is 100mm, but if you aim directly at the driver hatch, at appx, 100m, it turns to stone, and you can only just ' ding them'?( this example is looking at the tank,dead on, not angled at all) and
why are stats of certain aspects of world of tanks, 'classified' why are we not able to know basic elements, as in camo ratings of tanks,
why when you clearly have a better vehicle nose to nose, one on one, you will die, and they will lose maybe 50%, but they are lighter armored, and weaker gun,
as for as tactics and strategy, when your gun does O damage, and the tank your fighting is hitting Maxed stats, tacts, and strats, mean shit, we just want to know why, gonna be like this,
may as well just make all tiers standardized, same hp, same gun pens, and damage, least give us a chance.

(EVEN tier 8s, sp, tier 9 heavies cant pen, yet die by, how is this balanced?),
specially bounces on the sides, maybe this gun was meant to fight tier 8 meds, but faces tier 10 meds and heavies, am i a scout tank now, seems to me this tank is not really balanced now this faces new threats, armor is shit, considering tier 7s pen and kill this tank repeatedly,
i dont run PA, nor buy gold rounds for any tanks. whats the purpose,
and why do my tanks consistently get suck poor rng, i rarely do max damage anymore, my winrate is only 51%, but playing my friends account at 45% does he rarely get 0% damage shots, is this a rebalancing yet again, secret?
and about the type 59, i had just bought this tank, it performed well in  the public test of (*7.3*)before it got pushed up to tier 10, it was fast, agile, and could pen alot of tier 9s, now it got nerfed, faces tier 10s, and the slowest tank of its tier, in med ranks. some maps takes a whole map to reach 55, mostly up small hills it goes 20-35, like a heavy tank, and again this tank gets penned easily by a lot lower tiers, it concerns me, having a tier 7 gun, where as my pz-3-4, having a tier 5 gun, has a hard time penning kv1, its the same tier, yet even bounces off the ass of this tank. what are you doing, what are you trying to do, and by what means are you getting there? i know now that the EU, has more economic power, more stability than the amero, which is not yet instituted, so my basic ? is are you trying to drive us mad with a game that was made fun, then ruined due to prozac and other drugs, trying to start a domestic uprising? and if this ZERO damage policy is to remain in place, then i want my garage gun stats to reflect that, make my damage stat wholly from 0-288, and anywhere in between, not many ppl pay attn, but very often i see guns do damage from -20-50 below stated minimum damage, let alone O. min damage on x gun is 217-288, yet see it only do 54 damage( on tanks 100% health, not about to die) , will this be fixed? and or soon?

The accuracy of the 105mm for the T29 and T32 is .42 and .43.  Can you explain why a tank cannon has lower accuracy then an artillery cannon?  The gun already has below par penetration and average damage for its tier, so the accuracy is really needed for this tank to get back on par with its peers.  Can you please give the 105 an accuracy buff so it can be a bit more effective?

This makes the game nigh unplayable at times. The US is a big country, I think it would benefit a LOT of people if there were to be separate servers for East and West.
For reference, I get about 25 ping from servers in my home city, and 95 ping off servers located in DC, according to Speedtest.net

FaustianQ, on Aug 30 2012 - 18:52, said: Map not dynamic enough? I highly beg to differ, sicne over the last 3 months the entire UC map has changed significantly. All the new rules do is penalize strong clans and reward small, weak clans with being able to chip spam/swarm the bigger more capable clan into submission. All that will happen is that larger clans will learn to abuse your new rules even more, and become even more tightly night to protect what little gold they earn to barely cover UC expenses for ammo and consumables. The more you make clans vulnerable, the more likely they are to band together to protect each other.
The whole issue in the first place is that there is something to farm (gold), but also nothing in turn to make territory holding worth it (without gold). No point in participating in community warfare if there is no gain to be made from what is essentially almost a job. Why play for pitiful amounts of gold that needs to split amongst the active playerbase when winning a tourney or even coming in 8th is more profitable and less stressful and less time consuming.
Further, with the way looting and multiple defenses stack, it makes way more sense just to swarm and burn territory to the ground to get more gold out of it. Without incentives to stay and actually be territory holders, all you are encouraging the best clans on the server to do is to let weak ineffectual clans hold land then sack their territory for gold. There is basically no incentive to hold land now.

I know the VK 6501 has been suggested a few times around the forums.  It seems like a good candidate, probably pretty slow, 80mm frontal with thinner sides, probably 50 or 60 mm and guns ranging from the 7.5 L/24 to the 10.5 L/20, include the 7.5 L/70 as the top gun and it would size up to the KV, T1, or the BDR pretty well.

Hirumaru, on Aug 24 2012 - 15:58, said: So, Vallter, an IS-4 with a vulnerable driver's hatch is a "historical inaccuracy" but German guns having deflated penetration data isn't?

Why were my questions about the 30 degree "conversions" not yet answered?

Why was my question about the announcement to separate the engine from the transmission in December of last year not answered?

Do the devs yet have an answer as to how the RNG mechanism works and whether it is working as intended?

How many months and years must the community wait for the answers it seeks?

Deusmortis, on Aug 23 2012 - 22:07, said: The E's gun is slightly faster, with slightly higher accuracy, and a bit faster aim time.  Also, the vehicle is a bit tougher, turns faster, and has a higher top speed.  Not completely sure if those changes are enough to justify the higher tier, but that's the way things stand right now.
Gold HE round has a larger splash range.

BuubyTrap, on Aug 23 2012 - 22:52, said: Vallter, you stated that only certain maps will get physics and rendering right away. Is it safe to assume that only the ones currently available on the Physics Server will be implementing these changes when 0.8.0 actually comes out, or are there others in the works that we just haven't seen yet?


Noggmoritz, on Aug 23 2012 - 23:10, said: Why won't WG give us a different turret design (mausturm or henschel) for the E-100 when the vast majority of players prefer it, as demonstrated repeatedly in polls on these forums and EU/RU? Unlike the Jagdpanzer E100, the cooler designs are *not* owned by a model company.

I've made a suggestion regarding this one in here: http://forum.worldof...s/#entry2508781
Besides the passive buff on armour, what other buffs are you planning for the IS4M on the next update? Would it be plausible to get IS7's gun and mount it on the IS4M, just like before?
Say if the E-100 underperforms still on the test server #1, what are the chances of WG going to buff gun pen and overhaul these cosmetic buffs for this obsolete E-100?

Did these question threads completely replace the YAWR's?
When buffing and nerfing a tank, do you take into account the average win rate of the driver of the tank? After all, if 55% win rate people are driving a tank, it would make the tank seem overpowered, but it's the drivers skill.
