LiannaSilverwind: Russian forum Developers Questions and Answers
Version of 15th March 2011.
Translated by me. Did not translate specific Russian-server questions nor Clan Wars questions as they are in beta now.
Changes in German line will come in one certain patch or will be added gradually?
Gradually.
Will you add alternative line of German TDs altogether or gradually?
They will come altogether.
When will you add intermediate and alternative tank lines?
Over time. We will provide information when it is ready.
Will we lose modules we cannot demount if we play historical battles or will it be possible to remove them for historical battles?
Historical battles are currently under development; therefore we cannot provide an answer for now.
We can enjoy automatical cannon sounds in sandbox battles now. When will we get similar sounds in other battles? Will we hear epic sound of incoming SPG shell? When will new sounds appear?
Sounds will be added and changed over time.
What kind of new team-based or random modes can we expect for immediate future?
For immediate future – fighting for the one base only and assault/defense mode.
Do you plan to change interface so that we will get real tactical data of the tank, unlike current ideal data?
Yes, it is planned
Can you add screenshots folder to the client so that screenshots will be saved there? It will be much more comfortable.
We do not plan to do that yet.
Why APCR shell for D54T cannon is more powerful than shells from the top cannons of Panther II and Pershing?
T-54 has better penetration, while Panther II and Pershing deal more damage per hit.
Knocked-out crew member gains only 50% experience after battle. What will happen if I’d heal him up with first aid kit before the end of battle?
He will get 100% experience.
Do you consider an option to exchange experience to free experience without using gold? For example 1:10 ratio?
No.
I often meet allies who hysterically ping the map during the battle, preventing the team to coordinate its efforts. Even after being killed, they still continue in their hysteria. Can you limit amount of map pings for 1-2-x per minute?
It is possible.
Do you plan to implement “Soft Wipe” option for gold?
No.
After you change Pagorki, will you also change other maps?
We will make changes on Karelia and Erlenberg.
How big will be crew for 8th tier SPGs?
Every SPG will get its own crew, but no larger than 6.
Lowe is 8th tier and KV-5 is?
7th tier.
Why did you decide to remove modules weight when calculating tank’s weight for matchmaking?
Because players did not understand how tanks of different tanks were considered being equal due to their modules. So they asked even more questions about matchmaking than now.
Please tell us more about your plans for content changes (not new tanks) for immediate future? What is your highest priority?
Content is new maps and new tanks. We will add both.
What will happen if I mount both optics and telescope and stay still? Will I get both bonuses (+10% +25%)?
They will work both. It will be changed though.
Do you plan to add option for mounting different modules on premium tanks?
Not for now.
I have read about removal of shaking effects while firing, being hit or stopping. Is it true? Is it needed?
Shaking is being done on a client; therefore it can be changed by user himself, which was already done by certain not honest people. It is quite hard to protect against such a change, so we decided to make it legal for all players by making ingame option to turn off shaking.
