The current system is simple and solid, but strange or funny in times because tanks drive like glued to rails... wen running over small obstacles they shake weird instead of goind smooth over it... so will you stick to the current system or is a better physics system (maybe with suspension animation like in other games with tanks) planned?
Overlord: Yes, currently we are working on improved physics, some of the
changes might come in 7.0.

In fact, I'm still getting spotted from 500m away in my JT. To what extent has the patch 'fixed' its camo (i.e. how does it 'rank' in comparison with heavy tanks)?
Overlord: 1. There is a certain advantage indeed, but it is not crucial.
Planning to rework old maps gradually (the way Pagorki map was
redesigned).
2. Taking into account its size and gun, it's ok.

2:When you guys plan to add new territories for CW?
3:when you guys plan to add the diplomacy, tax rate etc.... funcions for the CW?

Overlord: Unfortunately there is no answer to any of the above currently.

Overlord: http://game.worldoft.../in_development
End of June - beginning of July, we will stick to this time frame.

Other than that... good job.
Overlord: 1. If we manage to finish it by the release of 6.6, then yes. The
probability is high.
2. Applies to medium path only.

9th tier Medium tanks stats
Pershing - best win ratio, best xp, best value for money
Panther 2 - just above T-54 in win ratio, xp, money gains
T-54 - worst win ratio, xp, money gains
Seems that the tank is UP - according to your methodology - and it needs buff...
But:
http://forum.worldof...post__p__595528
The quotation clearly shows, that you T-54 win ratio statistic etc. is changed by unfortunate fact, that T-54 clearly is driven by a lot less skilled players.
Seems the skill of player is influencing you _TANK_ balance. If you balance a _TANK_ you should minimize influence of player. Since you cannot balance players.
Still you are not going to rethink your way of balancing?
Edit. Seems I again risk ban or "It's a complaint on the way we do things" answer

Overlord: M26 Pershing: win ratio - 53.47%, avg experience - 508.
Panther 2: win ratio - 51.35%, avg experience - 480.
T-54: win ratio - 51.13%, avg experience - 474.
Overpowered T-54 is a myth, wrong common belief.

Overlord: Screenshots and stats will be available closer to the release of
6.6.

When T34 becomes premium and is replaced in tech tree by M103:
- Does T34 stays as tier 9 tank or is it lowered to tier 8?
- If T34 stays tier 9 does it stats (hp, armor, etc.) remain unchanged?
- What modules will be installed on premium T34? 105mm or 120mm gun?
- As I understand, T34 gets old crew (the one that will be at the moment of patch in tank) while M103 comes as a package (tank, modules, equipement (if any), 100% crew and garage slot) - am I correct?
Overlord: 1. Becomes tier 8 premium.
2. See 1.
3. Under consideration currently.
4. Equipment will be sold, M103 will get the same module setup you had on T34. The rest is correct.

Question: Is it possible for T34 to stay as tier 9 with it's current maximum upgrade?
Commment: WG's policy toward premium tanks is that they are "bit weaker" than researched counterparts. Same applies for T34 vs. VK45/IS4. 120mm gun is faster but weaker when compared to german/russian tier 10 gun ,T34 has ratehr low hull armor for tier 9, and besides front turret (but still not entire front) is quite vulnerable. That would be also good beginning for future tier 9 premium tanks for other nations.
Overlord: It is very unlikely to happen, T34 doesn't fit tier 9 properly.

1. The gap in avg exp/credits per battle and win ratio lies within 1-2%, which is acceptable.
and you also wrote
1. T34 is doing not bad, the gap between T34 and VK4502/IS-4 is acceptable.
Now, what has changed in the meantime?
Overlord: We had to artificially overrate its specs so as he could be more or
less competitive at tier 9.

Overlord: Yes, tier 9 medium can't be missing in the tree under any
circumstances.

Any way to get those stats ?
Overlord: These are unofficial figures gathered by players.

@Overlord: Are you going to release the patch notes for 6.5 some time before the release of the 6.5 patch just like you did with 6.4? And a followup: If the answer is yes how soon in advance of the release are you going to release the patch notes?
Overlord: Full patch notes are not available yet. The extended version should
come along with the launch of public test.

Are there any plans to release any Premium Tank Destroyers , as i am not really bothered with Heavy Tanks etc, but would seriously consider getting a TD for Gold ?
Cheers
J.
Overlord: Premium TDs are not planned currently.

1) the t23 will just be replaced by the pershing and that will be the end of it? we'll never see it in wot again? any chance of seeing it as a premium later on?
2) will the pershing receive some researchable upgrades?
3) what other changes will be made to the pershing in terms of armor, firepower etc.
4) and an unrelated question: any chance to receive birthday presents in the form of gold from wargaming?


Overlord: 1. T23 will be temporarily removed from the game. Yes, there is a
chance it will become premium one day.
2. It will keep the 2nd 90mm, one couldn't ask for a better setup.
3. You will be able to assess them during public test.
4. 1 coin max, I believe.
