What is the probability that we will not see buffs to them in the next patch?
If they are not buffed in the next patch would we have to wait for 8.1 or could there be a 8.0.1 fix patch for them?

don't think having the FCM F1 turret on it is a good idea. I also
found 2 turrets that make way more sense on it
2. What version of the Char 2C will we get, the version with 90mm of front armor or the one with 40mm? What tier will it be at?
3. When physics come out will it come with working suspensions?
4. When physics come out will some tanks have an easier time going over stuff, like it will be easier for the Churchill to go over some obstacles due to it's multiple bogie suspension, or the B1 is good at going over ditches
5. Will the B1 ter ever be included?

Vallter: 1)We are not thinking about adding another turret.
2)It's still a way too early to speak about it. We won't introduce it before completing British Tree most probably.
3)Yes it will, but we are probably speaking about different effects. I mean worse maneuverability on rocks, ice and other surfaces.
4)We will tweak passability parameters according to the sake of gameplay. So it depends on tests.
5)Sorry, have not fully understood you.

away from delibarate violators. The person, who's tank has caused
team damage, receives greater fine. Also it counts several
paramaters to estimate, whether it was intentional or now.

Both vehicles seem to be underperforming since the last patch. IS8
less so its true. But IS4 is a big lossmaker now.
Secondly, I cannot see an answer to this anywhere and I am certain it has been asked. But since v7 matches are very rarely tight. Most are overruns 15 -2 3 4 etc. I cannot remember the last time I had a draw and I used to have them about 4 to 5% of the time at least. Why is this?

Or will the maps that hold those modes be modified so the matches can be more balanced?
2.When can we expect the British tech tree to come out?
3. Quick information: I heard there will be adaptable camouflage that will change depending on the map. For the ones that have permanent camos (Paid with gold) Will we have to pay again for that new camo? Will we be able to choose another one for free? Or will the camo be changed automaticly when the patch applies?
DeadlyTreadly, on Aug 15 2012 - 04:26, said: My questions regard an existing in game tank;
Tier IV, VK1602 'Leopard' (Light Tank)
- Question 1
Is this tank considered to be currently operating at efficient levels? (Is the win/loss ratio at the norm?) Anecdotally it seems to under-perform.
- Question 2
Are you considering adding the 7,5 cm KwK 41 L/58 konisch gun as per the historical design parameters? (I understand the VK1602 is a Tier IV and the Konisch is rated as a Tier VIII gun).
- Question 3
If not the Konisch, is a better performing gun such as any of the other German low-recoil weapons considered?
- Question 4
Is a buff for the acceleration or turning considered? As it stands at the moment the vehicle does not seem to be able to count mobility as an outstanding facet, a strange feature in a 'light' tank (at 20+ tons)
Thank you for your consideration

Blizzard36, on Aug 15 2012 - 04:58, said: Is there any thoughts on being able to select maps to exclude
within a mode?
For example I actually like Karelia Assault, and am not bothered by Erlenberg. But I will have to forgo them in the process of avoiding the others. I'm quite willing to do so, because loading into a match, seeing the map and mode, and knowing right away you're going to chalk up a boring, no-fun loss that match is oh so fun. But I would prefer to be able to keep those two if I can. At least I still at least still have fun in the process of losing as the attacker on them.
While we're on the new game modes, what are the chances of removed maps being reworked or new maps added? When Encounter was first announced I immediately envisioned Malinovka with Standard spawns and the base on the top of the hill. A true King of the Hill match. I still want to play that. Pagorki I thought was another good candidate. You could obviously put it on the hill there, but the western island or center of the north east village would also work pretty well I think.

Why is the penn on the Maus so much lower than on other tier 10 heavies (and especially the mediums)? It is already slow, and large and an arty magnet. Other tier 10's can circle it with ease.......so that being said why is its gun so weak?
On the E-50 M why is the ROF a full 50% slower than on its Russian counterpart? Should the ROF not be increased to allow equal DPM for all tier 10 mediums?
I am not trying to be a pain here. But I am not able to see the logic in the E 50 M, doing far less DPM than the US and Russian tanks.
Can you please explain how that is even remotely balanced???

Vallter: Both IS-4 and IS-8 were buffed in 7.5. Currently we are satisfied
with their performance and do not plan to buff or nerf them.
We have not made any speicific changes to that. Though we are really glad that amount of draws has decreased.

Vallter: 1)Captured Premiums are analogues of stock or a bit upgraded
vehicles from another nation Tech Tree, which will have symbolics
of the nation, who 'captured' the vehicle. Currently we do not see
a necessity to introduce them since there a vast number of tanks we
want to add first.
2)It won't be implemented any time soon, so was removed temprorary. Probably it will come back, but no guaranty on that.

Vallter: Both E-100 and JagdPz E-100 will probably receive a buff in 8.0. We
are currently testing different variants and have no firm decision
on this.

Both vehicles seem to be underperforming since the last patch. IS8
less so its true. But IS4 is a big lossmaker now.
Secondly, I cannot see an answer to this anywhere and I am certain it has been asked. But since v7 matches are very rarely tight. Most are overruns 15 -2 3 4 etc. I cannot remember the last time I had a draw and I used to have them about 4 to 5% of the time at least. Why is this?

Assault) Changes like getting in an Encounter or Assault battle
less then we do now, because a lot of people (including myself) are
already tired of both of them. Or will we be able to choose which
kind of game we want to do.
Or will the maps that hold those modes be modified so the matches can be more balanced?
2.When can we expect the British tech tree to come out?
3. Quick information: I heard there will be adaptable camouflage that will change depending on the map. For the ones that have permanent camos (Paid with gold) Will we have to pay again for that new camo? Will we be able to choose another one for free? Or will the camo be changed automaticly when the patch applies?
DeadlyTreadly, on Aug 15 2012 - 03:26, said: My questions regard an existing in game tank;
Tier IV, VK1602 'Leopard' (Light Tank)
- Question 1
Is this tank considered to be currently operating at efficient levels? (Is the win/loss ratio at the norm?) Anecdotally it seems to under-perform.
- Question 2
Are you considering adding the 7,5 cm KwK 41 L/58 konisch gun as per the historical design parameters? (I understand the VK1602 is a Tier IV and the Konisch is rated as a Tier VIII gun).
- Question 3
If not the Konisch, is a better performing gun such as any of the other German low-recoil weapons considered?
- Question 4
Is a buff for the acceleration or turning considered? As it stands at the moment the vehicle does not seem to be able to count mobility as an outstanding facet, a strange feature in a 'light' tank (at 20+ tons)
Thank you for your consideration

Blizzard36, on Aug 15 2012 - 03:58, said: Is there any thoughts on being able to select maps to exclude
within a mode?
For example I actually like Karelia Assault, and am not bothered by Erlenberg. But I will have to forgo them in the process of avoiding the others. I'm quite willing to do so, because loading into a match, seeing the map and mode, and knowing right away you're going to chalk up a boring, no-fun loss that match is oh so fun. But I would prefer to be able to keep those two if I can. At least I still at least still have fun in the process of losing as the attacker on them.
While we're on the new game modes, what are the chances of removed maps being reworked or new maps added? When Encounter was first announced I immediately envisioned Malinovka with Standard spawns and the base on the top of the hill. A true King of the Hill match. I still want to play that. Pagorki I thought was another good candidate. You could obviously put it on the hill there, but the western island or center of the north east village would also work pretty well I think.

Why is the penn on the Maus so much lower than on other tier 10 heavies (and especially the mediums)? It is already slow, and large and an arty magnet. Other tier 10's can circle it with ease.......so that being said why is its gun so weak?
On the E-50 M why is the ROF a full 50% slower than on its Russian counterpart? Should the ROF not be increased to allow equal DPM for all tier 10 mediums?
I am not trying to be a pain here. But I am not able to see the logic in the E 50 M, doing far less DPM than the US and Russian tanks.

Vallter:
1)Captured Premiums are analogues of stock or a bit upgraded vehicles from another nation Tech Tree, which will have symbolics of the nation, who 'captured' the vehicle. Currently we do not see a necessity to introduce them since there a vast number of tanks we want to add first.
2)It won't be implemented any time soon, so was removed temprorary. Probably it will come back, but no guaranty on that.

About first part of question. T-54 earns enough dealing damage with the shells you've mentioned to pay the cost of the shell. So it's balanced.

2)It won't be implemented any time soon, so was removed temprorary. Probably it will come back, but no guaranty on that.

Strato, on Aug 15 2012 - 02:40, said: 1. Will we see changes in the different game modes? (Encounter and
Assault) Changes like getting in an Encounter or Assault battle
less then we do now, because a lot of people (including myself) are
already tired of both of them. Or will we be able to choose which
kind of game we want to do.Or will the maps that hold those modes be modified so the matches can be more balanced?
2.When can we expect the British tech tree to come out?
3. Quick information: I heard there will be adaptable camouflage that will change depending on the map. For the ones that have permanent camos (Paid with gold) Will we have to pay again for that new camo? Will we be able to choose another one for free? Or will the camo be changed automaticly when the patch applies?
Vallter:
1)You will be able to select game modes in 8.0. We also plan to give player a possibility to 'veto' certain map (or 2 with PA), but this is a distant future perspective.
2)Later this year. But it will come in 2012. We will do our best to introduce fisrt branches this Autumn.
3)All camouflages currently purchased, both credit and gold, will be compensated. There won't be any free camouflages. Afte the update you will be able to purchase up to 3 patterns. It's described in details here

DeadlyTreadly, on Aug 15 2012 - 03:26, said: My questions regard an existing in game tank;Tier IV, VK1602 'Leopard' (Light Tank)
- Question 1
Is this tank considered to be currently operating at efficient levels? (Is the win/loss ratio at the norm?) Anecdotally it seems to under-perform.
- Question 2
Are you considering adding the 7,5 cm KwK 41 L/58 konisch gun as per the historical design parameters? (I understand the VK1602 is a Tier IV and the Konisch is rated as a Tier VIII gun).
- Question 3
If not the Konisch, is a better performing gun such as any of the other German low-recoil weapons considered?
- Question 4
Is a buff for the acceleration or turning considered? As it stands at the moment the vehicle does not seem to be able to count mobility as an outstanding facet, a strange feature in a 'light' tank (at 20+ tons)
Thank you for your consideration
Vallter:
VK 1602 'Leopard' is performing well enough per our perspective and no changes will be done to it in the next update.

will it work? Will it be for a standard 15v15 match, 5
tanks/BS'/WP's? Or will it be just whatever players choose?Vallter:
It will be standart 15vs15 matches. But clans, owning same provinces on the different Global Maps, will be able to trade special 'commander consumables' beetween them. This includes out-map Air Stirke, Recon, additional AA fortifications etc.

Blizzard36, on Aug 15 2012 - 03:58, said: Is there any thoughts on being able to select maps to exclude
within a mode?For example I actually like Karelia Assault, and am not bothered by Erlenberg. But I will have to forgo them in the process of avoiding the others. I'm quite willing to do so, because loading into a match, seeing the map and mode, and knowing right away you're going to chalk up a boring, no-fun loss that match is oh so fun. But I would prefer to be able to keep those two if I can. At least I still at least still have fun in the process of losing as the attacker on them.
While we're on the new game modes, what are the chances of removed maps being reworked or new maps added? When Encounter was first announced I immediately envisioned Malinovka with Standard spawns and the base on the top of the hill. A true King of the Hill match. I still want to play that. Pagorki I thought was another good candidate. You could obviously put it on the hill there, but the western island or center of the north east village would also work pretty well I think.

another505, on Aug 15 2012 - 05:16, said: can you explain why t54's top gun rounds are so expensive, its more
expensive than other tier 9 med top gun's round, but deal
considerably less dmg(70 less) and has poor accuracy.and aim time
,can you explain whyalso, the ammo is the same as LB-1 except a "b" in the back of the name, is it historical real?
Vallter:
About first part of question. T-54 earns enough dealing damage with the shells you've mentioned to pay the cost of the shell. So it's balanced.
About the second part better ask The_Chieftain

Timberwolf84, on Aug 15 2012 - 15:01, said: Thanks for the reply. What are the planned buffs for the E-100, or
at least what areas are being looked at to be buffed?Why is the penn on the Maus so much lower than on other tier 10 heavies (and especially the mediums)? It is already slow, and large and an arty magnet. Other tier 10's can circle it with ease.......so that being said why is its gun so weak?
On the E-50 M why is the ROF a full 50% slower than on its Russian counterpart? Should the ROF not be increased to allow equal DPM for all tier 10 mediums?
I am not trying to be a pain here. But I am not able to see the logic in the E 50 M, doing far less DPM than the US and Russian tanks.
Can you please explain how that is even remotely balanced???
Vallter:
Both E-100 and JagdPz E-100 will probably receive a buff in 8.0. We are currently testing different variants and have no firm decision on this.

that were previously disabled. We've found it to work just fine for
a number of maps, including Malinovka and Karelia. I dare say
Malinovka assault is more fun than Malinovka standard.
