Thank you.
Overlord: It's not on the exception list, so has standard tier spread for
tier 6 MT.

Overlord: Will be published in one of the upcoming Newsletters or/and
on the blog.

It comes from this topic. Your blog and comments on it indicates that all close beta testers would enjoy gift tank as the registration date was to be the only criterion.
Overlord: We might impose some restrictions on the number of battles played
so as not ruin the balance and match-making in the first days after
the release giving out a ton of tier 5 tanks.

I know that in order to damage a module with AP you have to hit it. But even then there is a propability (1-p) that you dont do damage to the module itself.
So there is a chance p to damage the module when you hit it.
What i want to know concerns engine hits. In each enginge stats there is the change to be set on fire f given.
Is this the chance to be set on fire when the engine gets damaged, or when the engine gets hit?
Basically i want to know if the chance to be set on fire p*f or f when the engine gets hit.
Another way to be set on fire is by getting shot inthe fuel tank. Do the chances to be set on fire via fuel tank hit differ from different vehicles?
Overlord: 1. Engine specs state the chance of fire when the engine is
actually damaged/is hit, which is the same.
2. Once fuel tank hit point go down to zero, it catches fire.

Overlord: Lend-lease oil or smth similar is unlikely to be avialble for
non-Soviet vehicles, though we are planning to add analogues for
Removed Speed Governor.

Overlord: Hasn't decided on the exact figure yet. It shouldn't be too much,
taking into account you have 4k+ battles.

Overlord: Will publish them a bit later this week, when they are finalized.

Overlord: Yes, definitely. It's the day WOT went open beta.

release tech trees will be the same like those in beta?
thanks
Overlord: No extra tanks are planned for the release version apart from
M4A2E4 (gift tank), there will be some changes to full tank trees
after the release.

So 0.6.4 won't be the release version?
Overlord: The 0.6.4 update needs polishing, it is a major patch (up to 1Gb)
that needs additional testing, both internal and supertest. The
release date has been fixed and we can't push it anymore.

That is just ridiculous. Are you working on preventing such "mods", because they're pretty damn close to cheating in my opinion.
Overlord: This video is credible, but only to some extent. And this is
cheating indeed.
One can disable "shaking" effect and modify tracer options which are client side. These issues will be addressed in v.0.6.4.
• Added protection from client-side change of color, brightness and display time for tracer effects diplay.
• Added an option to turn-off tank shaking during shooting/moving/stopping/being hit in sniper mode. Default setting is shaking on.
Regarding reduced/modified aiming circle, it's 100% fake, since reticle position and aiming circle are controlled server-side.

1) Exactly how does being a mercenary work? Is it sort of like clicking "random battle" now and you'll join a random clan with an empty spot? And speaking of empty spots, how does joining such a battle even work, since I assume clans will play with a full team?
2) Are there any rewards for being a mercenary in CW, other than the standard credits and exp for a battle? I was wondering about this, since I saw you considered charging money (gold) for a mercenary license. Maybe a few gold per match, depending on win/loss?
Oh and I was wondering about an entirely seperate issue as well: How exactly does the rating system work on the website? For instance, My overall global ranking has a value of 372 and my location is 8506 as of this writing. What does the "value" mean in this context and how is it calculated? I'm not really much into e-peen competitions and all but I always wondered exactly what that value meant (other than me being an awful player

Overlord: 1) Mercenaries are likely to be substituted for volunteers. Players
who are not in clans will be able to mark the respective checkbox
thus allowing invites from any clans needing side help.
Volunteer services are to be paid with gold.
2) Gold from the clan that used volunteer services.
