Belrick, on 22 December 2010 - 02:10 AM, said: I look at the stats and i cannot see anything that suggests that
the T30 is anywhere near the levels of other tier 10's.
Tell me where i am wrong?
-Same DPS and pen gun as the IS7
-Same Hit points than the IS-7
-SLOWER than the IS7
-FAR FAR FAR worse armour all round bar turret frontal than the IS-7.
-Better DPS than the Maus
-Faster than the Maus
-FAR FAR FAR worse armour than the Maus, in the order of half the amount!
-FAR less HP than the Maus
What am i missing here that makes you devs think that the T30 is up to scratch? It is after all nothing more than a tier 7 armour heavy with a tier 8 TD canon with Tier 10 HP!

MrVic: Review of the US tanks is something that they are working on. Their
new sometimes new things end up to powerful or to weak. Then
changes get worked on and come into play 
Give it some time. Their working on a number of problems and its the holidays nothing goes fast around the holidays, well expect the last min shoppers, the rum, the xmas cookies.... well some things goes fast I guess, sadly none of them are easily equip able to a tank
Just a side note (one I am eager to test) T34 and T30 aim time reduction will help a good bit. We'll just have to wait a bit more and see what they come up with.

anounced to end o this year.
Its already starting to be to long, my garage is full of vehicles and i dont want to play anymore when i know ill loose them all. If open beta (you say its closed but every1 can get the keys) will be there fo another half year, ill propably not play after release and i think a lot of players will do the same.

A Beta Testers Analysis Of World Of Tanks

Conclusion
Now even after reading this, or maybe you skipped this wall-of-text rant, you may still be thinking "It's just a game, point is to be balanced and fun, not historically accurate" but then why is it that after a while, the majority of players feel like German tanks are crap, and balance is indeed off?
There are undoubtedly more aspects in this game that affects the performance of tanks that I do not know about and did not comment on butI hope I’ve illustrated and explained enough examples to make you feel this imbalance isn’t coincidental. Agree or disagree, all I ask is that you think for yourself. Take a look at the game with an open mind, and ask yourself if this is a dev team really trying their best to be balanced as they purport to be. I really cannot imagine all these discrepancies are just by chance or mistake, personally I have little faith that this dev team is being fair.
Also keep in mind there are unconfirmed rumours and suspicions that the stats displayed to the user in the game are not true, meaning that the real stats may be even more biased. These are conspiracy theories, nothing concrete, but sometimes when I look at the stats, and look at what happens ingame, I can’t help but wonder...
I have a message to the devs; you should admit your bias. It’s obvious and prevalent everywhere. It may not be anything massively balance-breaking but at almost every aspect it seems things have been tweaked to give the Russians at least a small unfair advantage. Don't you dare say the game is realistic or balanced and people have just been underestimating Soviet and overestimating German tanks. Neither realistic nor balanced, it is disappointing to see such a well made game engine flawed by such rampant bias.
tl;dr: devs are biased and Russian tanks are OP

Overlord: The whole analysis of 4837 words boils down to
1) good-old bias
2) unconfirmed rumours on hidden server-side parameters and world conspiracy
The bias towards Soviet tanks, principles of communism, and Marxism–Leninism ideology admitted. Cheers!

is that dynamic light effects haven't been optimized yet. That's
the main reason why night maps haven't been added.

Stirlitz, on Dec 21 2010 - 16:29, said: Agree, gap between t44 and t54 is extremely high, also because t44
has a very poor performance for being Tier 8. The higher damage is
justified though if this thing is supposed to counter IS4 and
Minimaus effectively. After all, it would be sad to see Tier 9
mediums to be as useless as T8 meds right now.Overlord:
Tier 9 mediums are usually not capable of fighting tier 9 heavies, we have tested 1vs1, 5vs5 and 15vs15 combinations, 400+ battles all in all. Mediums lost about 70% of the matches.
But tier 9 MTs have good chances fighting tier 8 heavies.

Overlord: Medium tanks (top tiers) will see some significant changes in the
upcoming update, including reverse speed increase and hit points
boost. It is supposed to bring them back to action.

I'll wait on the British Centurion if that tank will not be better then the T-54. I know enough.

Overlord: We have tested all 3 mediums in 1vs1 battles and various other
combinations. From our point of view there are fairly balanced for
this early stage, with few per cent difference perhaps. Not sure
that T-54 is the clear leader of the 3. It has more speed and
armor, but speed/maneuverability is not that critical and the
advantage is not that huge to allow circling around P. II or
Pershing, especially in a city,
Better armor? P. II and Pershing are able to penetrate it with no problems, their guns are obviously better.

The M46 + M47 would fit perfectly, because it is already for 75% ingame.
To those who dint read the thread=
M46=Exact same as pershing exept for new engine and transmission
M47=Exact same hull as M46/Pershing but with a new turret. Turret was 175mm or so IIRC, so that makes it well balanced with panther II AND T 54

MrVic: Well put together post. Very nice post tho. Some parts sound okay
others ehhh.
Only thing I wanted to bring up is all of the break down on the guns. Your assuming all weapons function based on their raw weight vs velocity.
Basically you only have part of the equation. Your assuming their all firing lead balls of varying weights, and basing their perspective
damage on that. It throws the comparison off in the end Tank rounds have many variables and
together they create a weapon profile.
Composition of the round Density/Durability/Hardness then toss in Speed (some times good and even sometimes can be bad) Also the varying amounts of HE composition
in each round directly effects the guns performance. Also adjusts the Mass, less or more metal in the
round for penetration which helps in keeping the round intact to deliver the HE component and be strong enough to not break up on impact.
Mass vs Velocity is only one piece to that puzzle.
Again well written post. Just wanted to help on the Gun break down listed, as right now its way to simple and a bit off

captking, on 21 December 2010 - 05:08 AM, said: Neither have Hit Locations...(if so how are internal hits figured)Tanitha: The tanks have many many hit locations.
Such as this diagram. Each section is a different thickness, and angle, so penetration is calculated depending on the section you hit.
Penetration is determined by physics, such as Armour, angle, etc..
There is also weak spots on tanks, like machine gun ports etc..
Similarly inside the tank there is locations of the critical parts like engine, ammo racks, etc.
These have separate HP's which when they get down to below half, they display as injured, when they are fully destroyed they are red and broken, (until repaired).
Tracks are also getting split into three sections, each with their own hotboxes and hit-points.
I'm not a dev, so i dont know all the internal working of WOT, and I'm not a tank buff so i dont know all the internal workings of tanks.
But I'm sure there is a lot more to wot that you realize. There isn't just one hit box, as you describe above, like I think you assume there is
This is outlined above in some of the specs I linked.
But like has been mentioned above, a shot either penetrates a tank, or it doesn't. Penetration usually results in a dead tank in real life.
But here tanks have hitpoints so they can often last more than one shot.
