Official Q&A Thread: 7.5 Era

Praetor77, on Aug 14 2012 - 19:15, said: Are there any plans to lower the chance of T14 and Churchill to enter tier 6 battles? Their matchmaking is significantly worse than in 7.4, I keep getting tier 6 battles over and over. The unofficial win% for T14 in russian server in the last month reflects this fact... it´s around 46%... worst tank after B1... O_o

Also will the 8.0 update bring multicore support to WOT? or will that come in a later update?


Sojo, on Aug 14 2012 - 20:01, said: Hello All, A big request, I understand you as developers and employees introduced this game to make, in the end money. We, the true and faithful are very aware, plus, it’s a business, we understand.
My request is that the people who have spent the most money, or level of spending. Let’s say, since release to present I have spent approximately $1000.00 (US). Is there a way we can be rewarded for our loyalty?
Example, $1000.00 a year permits player to choose a Highest Tier tank of their choosing fully trained.
That would be a very reasonable earned reward.
Please, if this was contemplated, making it retroactive would be great.
Just an idea.
Thanks

TBH, why didn't you just link me instead of giving another vague "It's in there somewhere"? Would have made this really simple. By my frank and persistent posts it showed I genuinely wanted an answer and that I was looking and just not seeing it.


Tupinambis, on Aug 14 2012 - 20:24, said: Hey GeneralDirection, can you confirm what tiers the E-25 and Panther/M10 thing are going to be?


Farva1, on Aug 14 2012 - 20:40, said: Some of the problem maps are really, really bad, ie Prokhorovka and Campinovka.  In general Assault is not very fun the way they have been implemented on the maps that they have.  I'm not saying I don't want Assault becuase I do, but most of the time, I would rather drive my tank into the open and die without playing so I can move on.  It really is that unfun so to speak.  If it wasn't that bad I'd say give it time, but when a map/mode makes you NOT want to play the game, thats as bad as it gets.  I would be interested in WG's ideas for improving Assault (ie more maps, taking some out, changing others).
On a related note, is there any intention of giving us a choice of mode?

c0r3, on Aug 14 2012 - 20:52, said: Will RNG be rebalanced to put more emphasis on skill rather than dice rolls? (0 dmg crits/low dmg rolls on killshots (tanks being left on <50hp))

Hitty40, on Aug 14 2012 - 21:31, said: 1.Will we ever get orbital strikes when players hear 'I'MA FIRIN' MAH LASER' And then a giant beam of light destroys everything in its' path?


Hitty40, on Aug 14 2012 - 21:31, said: 2. Continuing a bit more on my airdropping question, considering this is a game and not a simulation, couldn't be possible if the devs wanted to make a Maus aripdrop from the sky(Or maybe fired out of a giant cannon from a spaceship) anyways, make the tanks move at the same fall speed no matter what size they are?


WarStore, on Aug 14 2012 - 22:30, said: General Direction, about this...
After 7.5, all the XP I had in my Ferdi was transferred to JTiger, although I already had enough XP stored to research Jpz-E100. Now I have the Jpz-E100 and around 140K XP stored in my JTiger.
Could you guys implement a way to convert that unused XP to something useful, like training my JTiger crew?
If I knew you guys would do that to my Ferdi, I would never store XP in it in the first place.


Timberwolf84, on Aug 14 2012 - 22:37, said: Will the German penetration values be increased on the Maus, and E 100? Right now they are lower than all other countires at tier 10.


Timberwolf84, on Aug 14 2012 - 22:37, said: Will the E 50 ausf M get a ROF boost to match the DPM of all other tier 10 mediums? I honestly do not know how its current ROF is justified when compared to the other tier 10 mediums. And the camo factor, why is it so low on a "sniper" tank? I really would love to see the reasoning behind this.....


Timberwolf84, on Aug 14 2012 - 22:37, said: One more thing: why does everyone say that increasing the stats on German tanks will be "un-historical". Many of the tanks in game only existed on paper. And the German end tanks were built in WW2!!! The US and Russian tanks go into the 1950's. So as this is an arcade style game and not a straight simulator.........why the refusal to help the German tanks out a bit?


Cuth, on Aug 14 2012 - 23:03, said: Oh, that's clear. I was thinking more like a tier 6 premium SPG that earns and has MM similar to the current tier 8 premium non-SPGs. I'd be on board for $35-$50 as soon as it came out. Maybe something like an S-51 but with the stock (or slightly upgraded) 152mm gun would work well..


Cuth, on Aug 14 2012 - 23:03, said: As far as letting us pay gold/cash for a premium credit-earning coefficient for our (currently owned non-premium) tanks, you didn't answer that part, so I assume it isn't planned?
