I want to see them stick that chick from the newcomers diary into an upgraded T-54 and see how she does. I can tell you right now, I can duct tape the keyboard to my crotch, put on a hockey helmet and dry hump to victory.

I have another question;
I remember reading that Overlord answered another players question, by saying that WarGaming (maybe) intended to include a means of transferring Tanks and Crew to other players (along with things like Gold and possibly Credits).
Is this still true? Does WarGaming still plan for this ability or has this changed (or maybe it was never going to be possible)?
PS: Can I please get a little moderator support in my thread. I'd seriously like the non-sense of the last 2 pages to be cleaned up.


Quote Also Vallter any more on French tanks? You got my attention there when you said they may pop up this week.

a) Delusional
b ) Do not play this game
c) Russian Dev that is Russian
d) All of the above
This has to be more of a joke than this "Diary of a newcomer" crap that you guys post (by the way, if it was a dude posting those stories and not OMG ITS A GIRLLLLLLL1!@#!@!!! he would get chewed apart and spit out by the community).
Let me say this. You are on the virge of losing a lot of North American customers with this nonsense you are spouting (If I could cancel my pre-order at this point, I probably would). I'd like to see these mystical statistics that you are pulling out of the air. You want to talk about winning matches and being on par? Every match I see that is won that has an IS4 in it, you wanna know who is alive and on top at the end of it? Take a guess. Right, the IS4. Not a T34, not a KT. So applying your BS logic of the T-32 nerf to the Tier9 heavies, I call shennanigans. And don't even get started comparing the Panther II and Pershing to the T-54, there is no comparison. How about providing some facts and data to back up your claims? I'd love to see your detailed analysys on what needs to be nerfed and why. The more and more I taste your spoon fed tish, the more and more it tastes like, well, tish.
I thought I had seen it all until this. Wow, just wow.
And YES broseph Stalin, I AM mad.

Mrtheox, on 31 March 2011 - 11:21 AM, said: Normalization on standard AP takes out 8 degrees of slope, 12 on APCR. A roll of negative 9% or greater negative roll, (which accounts for more 42 percent of the possible outcomes) on the penetration randomization will result in round with 203mm of penetration or less failing to penetrate the front of the T32 even with normalization at 100 meters. Beyond 100 meters, the chances of a round with 203mm or less of penetration perforating a T-32 decrease exponentially with every range increase of 20 meters. Also the guns below tier 9 tend to lack the accuracy to reliably hit the front glacis of the T-32 at ranges beyond 200 meters. Which makes the front of the tank near invulnerable to guns with less than 200mm of penetration. Because The match making system basically insures that a T-32 will be facing opponents which will not be able to penetrate the front of it in 25% of it's battles combine with the limited ability to flank on more than half of the maps is the reason why the T-32 has a higher win and earning ratio than it peers. Simply put the probabilities and tactical environment largely overcome player skill and explain why the T-32 has better performance stats than it's peers.

Anomali, on 30 March 2011 - 09:05 PM, said: IS-4 is on par with the T34, no NO its not. T34 is BY FAR the worst tier 9 heavy. I feared IS-4 in my T34. Not only does the IS-4 have armor it didn't have IRL so does the T-54. Why not put armor on the T34 it didn't have IRL, but this is for another thread. One on one IS-4 wins against T34 9 out of 10 times. Again I wont even get into the T34 on this tread not the place.

sargefan19, on 30 March 2011 - 08:29 PM, said: hardi the russians are far better hands down and is clearly biased i have played every tree and know how to play the tanks and the russians pwn everybody hands down. You basically play nothing but russian tanks and what i noticed is alot of the people saying Russians aren't oped only played the Russian line.
i ditto that
your logic makes no sense why isn't the is4 or t54 getting any significant nerfs besides the incredible 15cm more height on the t54 even though fully upped it is a 60s tanks. You devs need to leave that fairy tale land that you are currently in and step into reality because if you plan on this game to exactly expand and become better you need to stop nerfing lines that are a pain to go anyway. I find it funny that somehow when Americans can do Russian tactics such as putting their mantle in a dudes face so they can't punch through it they get called oped but yet when people who play Russian tanks do it (and yes they do don't deny it) it is normal.

thejoker91, on 30 March 2011 - 04:20 PM, said: Actually, I would preffer the T32 to be able to mount the 120mm T53 and use it as a Tier 9. To me its better than the T34 (better armor overall, lower profile)
As for Overlord:
Can we see what server wide stats are you basing your decision? Also, are those stat NA server only or worlwide?

Quote OP - nailed it. Just frickin nailed it. I personally gave up when it was announced that ClanWars wasn't coming to US players til the summer. I decided to stop slugging it out with tanks that would soon disappear, with the hope that when they did finally release it - I might find the fire to go at it again. But I'm sure as heck not pre-ordering months of gold...


Quote It was mentioned before that the view range limits were a limitation of the big world game engine. Was that correct? And did the engine upgrade or somehow allow the distance to be fixed, or are you going to be looking for changes within the current limitations?


Quote Remove Ammunition Resupply Cost from Training Games.


Quote But the devs keep saying that these features are coming soon! That the fixes to all the problems are coming soon! By now when a dev says that the spotting system will be overhauled in the Fall, I assume he means the Fall of 2012...maybe.


Quote A tank that is considered OP can easily have worse survival rates than its non-OP equivalent simply because one is driven with overconfidence and the other is driven with caution. And yet time and time again the developers have based their minor changes purely on this false statistical data.

Ultramarine212, on 30 March 2011 - 05:18 AM, said: Lets just go roughshod on the US Tanks some more, Obviously it's gonna make this game Super successful in the States.
Let's take a look of past nerfs:
Ferdi: Nerfed for having 4% more average XP gain and 1% better survival ratio than the ISU-152. 1 Month later, ISU-152 had the higher statistics, was it nerfed? No.
T29: Supposedly had better Statistics than the other Tier 7 Heavies, labeled Over Powered by the Devs. RoF nerfed. Past Nerfs: Turret Transverse, Hull Transverse, Mobility over difficult terrain lowered. Number of Threads complaining about the T29 being Over Powered? Zero.
IS-4: Blatantly superior to it's Tier 9 counter parts. Nerfed? No.
T-54: Blatantly Superior, Devs "Nerf" it, increasing the height by 15cm (Holy wooping crap). Nothing more than a token Nerf. funny to see that the T-54 has cherry picked stats (120mm Frontal Armor, when the Production version of the T-54 had 99mm. T-54 in game has same mobility as the 99mm Production version), Engine from the 60s, Gun and Turret that belonged to the T-55... Seriously, what a bunch of bullcrap.
How bout the other blatantly superior tanks to their counter parts?
KV-107 anyone? Best Tier 5 tank, and Most certainly better than it's T1 Heavy counter part.
SU-85 with the 107mm? Obviously better than it's STuG III Counter part.
KV-3? Sorry, the M6 is nothing compared to it.
SU-100? The JagdPz IV is armed with the crappy 88mm L56, with 132 penetration and 220 dmg, compared to the SU-100's 122mm, with 175mm Penetration and 390 dmg.
If the devs are going to balance this game based on their mystical server "statistics", Then they are going to have to make that crap open to the public. It's obvious we're being lied to (Tier 9 Heavies and Mediums having equal statistics? Ya friggen right), and that stats are being cherry picked.
Up next on the Nerf bat, M4A3E8 is pulling in 3% more average xp than the T-34/85. Lowered Rate of Fire for the M1A2, Lowered Mobility, lowered transverse (Both Turret and hull) and Accuracy. Probably gonna get the Vert stabilizer removed too.

hardicon, on 29 March 2011 - 09:43 PM, said: overlord can you define adjustments. like will it be adjusted like the t29 was adjusted and just lower the rate of fire some or will it be changes to the armor cause it dont need those changes, i can see a rof adjustment to the gun a little bit but not much. i think it outperforms cause people that play is3 and kt seem to wanna aim for the turret, at least in my experience that is what they are doing. can you give us some information as to what you guys are thinking about with this tank so at least i will know if it will be worth getting it again in release.
