Mad_Hatter: Top questions:
- I would like to learn more about the garage battles (the restriction on the number of vehicles, the duration of combats), new modes of random battles and operation of super-squads. It will be same 15 vs. 15 battles but the team will have three super-squads, am I right?
New modes for random battles include: attack, meeting engagement, escort.
Individual explanation of each one is as follows:
Assault: one team defends a position while the other one tries to capture it.
Meeting engagement: two teams attack the one area.
Escort: one team tries to capture the Very important person(VIP) and it may engage only a few top-tanks of the team. The rest of the team will be guarding the VIP from the enemy. The enemy tries to destroy the tanks which can capture their base.
- What is the approximate ETA of World of Warplanes Beta?
At the moment, Beta testing periods are not announced. Just follow the news on our official website.
- Do ranks influence crew performance? What if I have major rank but not a captain rank?
Ranks do not affect the crew performance.
- When will we have the opportunity to choose tier limited squadron battles (like in championships: tier 1-4, 4-6, 6-8, 1-10, Absolute)?
The exact date is unknown, but we are working on it; approximate ETA is autumn.
- I would like to know why the adaptation of the American tank tree is delayed?
This process requires much time and effort and one of the most difficult things is the conversion of one tank to another, which is currently in progress.
- Will players be banned for using skins? Many tankers use tank skins not maliciously but just for their own pleasure. Skins that you offer are tasteless and ugly, unlike those that we can use today.
We will not ban accounts for using skins but camouflage will make their usage useless. That being said we use the most close to historical skins as the originals for more of a authentic look.
- Will there be any specialties for tank ladies such as special camouflage or nicknames of a different colour?
We have no such plans at the moment.
- Will you add more weather modes to the game like rain or fog?
All is possible.
- Will you add different sounds for different suspension, depending on the tank type and surface?
It might be added in the future.
- Would it be possible to speed up the tank in a deep river?
No.
- Will the damage or overall effectiveness figures be shown at the end of a battle?
The battle statistics will show the experience earned by each player.
- They say that good statistics influence some game parameters, so that players with good statistics face the following things:
They are rarely mixed with high level vehicles in battles;
They shoot the gun with a larger scatter;
The shells often make minimal damage instead of the maximum.
Is that true?
No, it’s not. There are no special parameters for players with ‘good’ statistics.
- Will the game resources be secured against changes (including tracers’ modifications) with subsequent verification of the legality of these client packs?
Resources will be secured but protection against changes will not be added as such implementation is useless and it’s common knowledge that there many games can still be hacked.
- Will players be able to partake in battles on a Global Map? I mean, players who are not in clans, kind of ‘wildies’; if they win on a clan's province, will the clan lose profit gained from that province?
Yes, it will be possible. The working name of this concept is Volunteers.
- Will there be any changes implemented in the training room? it’s not possible to test the vehicle or explore a map alone?
We have no plans for changes to the training room at the moment.
- I want every tank crew to speak their national language; for example, when riding an American tank, the voice should say something in English and when in a German tank, to hear the voice speaking German. Will it be implemented?
This function will be added with one of the upcoming updates.
- When will you add new acoustic themes to the maps?
We’re working over it.
- Do you plan to create a client for unix systems, or else, something similar which will run WoT (at least with the help of wine).
We have no plans for such things.
