Q: are there already any plans or conceptions on how the StuG will play? it looks like a big Ferdinand, so if it plays like this it is just some sort of a JagdTiger clone. this would make it, imo, quite obsolete.
Overlord: A "fat" Ferdinand with a big gun, good front armor. We will make it
unique, so the difference from JT is noticeable.

Because if it would then oh mighty god it would be a death bringer!
EDITED.
Overlord: Most likely 15,8 cm gun will be a top one.

P.S.: I've seen that there are regions 2-7 that are currently inactive. Will they be enabled anytime soon?
And another question: Why are there so many neutral zones on the US server?
Overlord: 1. Yes, if battles don't happen at the same time.
2. Players/clans are less active there. Additionally there are certain lag issues on the US server, which may have affected this as well.

Overlord: Yes, perhaps they will be held less often from now on, however the
organization should take a turn for the better.

First I'd like to get this out of the way and say that the frequent answers to questions is admirable, good news or bad.
And now that that's done, question time.
One. When you reach a decision regarding map choosing, will you inform us of the answer and/or the reason behind the decision? (This also applies to the gun depression topic)
Two. Unless my info is severely outdated armor penetraion still has a 25% + or - added to the roll. If this is still the case, why was such a high value chosen?
And Three. (I'm 82% sure this has not been asked before). What does this "hardcore" mode include? Assuming of course that it is not a rumour.
That's all for now, drive safe.
Overlord: 1. Yes, sure thing.
2. It used to be higher. 25% is ok from the gameplay point of view.
3. No details at this time.

I tried to check on the Russian forum, but the threads for the T32 and T34 had been cleaned, and I couldn't find it in the developers Q&A section.
Is there any truth in this or is it just a rumor?
And if it is true, how soon is the rollback likely to happen?
Overlord: Yes, this roll back is likely to happen. However I doubt it comes
prior to 6.5 update.

2. Are there plans to implement clanwars directly into the client?
Overlord: 1.binding is not allowed atm
2. is not planned
2. is not planned

Overlord: under consideration

Overlord: no, it wont be researched

1.) Is there a chance that we get (soon™?!) rid of this very annoying "barrel up" when looking/standing at an House/Stone corner? Is that even considered to be "gone" in the (near) future?
2.) As we know the Tec-Tree's get revamped. Fine. Will we see a reduction in regards to Tiers in matchmaking earlier by any chance? (especially the downgrade from Panther I+II in Tiers)
3.) As we have a lot of "small clans" within WoT which are atm not able to participate in the Clan Wars, do we get the "Mercenary Feature" in the next 1-3 Month?
Thx for your time in advance, answers on this topic are highly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
P1nhead
Overlord: 2 and 3 are possible

Forgive me if this has been asked before.
Overlord: Yes, you are awarded some bonus experience for surviving the
battle. This bonus is not huge.

If I ask very nicely, is there any possibility at all that the hotfix to revert the nerf will be applied before the patch?
Please Overlord you are so hansome, intelligent and witty that I'm sure you could convince the powers that be at wargaming to do this so eloquently that they would not only apply the hotfix immediately but also give you a payrise for the positive PR boost it would create.
If this fails, who do I need to flatter/bribe/convince/beg to take this decision?
Overlord: 1. Very unlikely. Sorry.
2. You are proficient flatterer.
2. You are proficient flatterer.

- camo net (it would be a nice feature to see tanks equipped with camo net as a visible thing on tank)
- different destroyed models of tanks according to type of damage (in flames, with destroyed turret, or without turret etc etc)
2. Is it me, or after patch 6.4 number of xp need for t34 and t30 raised dramatically to 185/190k ?
3. Is there any plans to make all buildings destroyable?
Overlord: 1.1 Yes, this is planned.
1.2 No. At least not soon.
2. It was 190k as far as i remember.
3. Planning to introduce more destructibility into the game in future, however this won't happen anytime soon.
