7.5 Update Note

Ridge512, on Jul 26 2012 - 17:48, said: Do you guys try to keep the tanks performance in game to match that of them in real life or are you guys trying to make all the tanks even? I know you guys work hard and I really like this game. But all the buffing and nerfing of tanks makes me wonder what your motives behind them are. Will all the buffing and nerfing eventually quiet down?

If I research BOTH guns, will I keep any of them after the update-- or will there be only one gun for the Lorraine after the update? I understand from reading the update that the OCA 45 will be gone, how about the other gun? The one that takes 34k xp to get.

Edit:oh and this "Due to MatchMaker changes, parameters of gollowing USSR Medium tanks and TD’s were rebalanced: Т-28, Т-34-85, Т-43, КV-13, SU-85" so many misspellings.

Paladin1, on Jul 26 2012 - 10:18, said: Vallter, from personal experience with this issue, and still having ongoing problems... I don't see how this explanation is correct. I HAVE contacted support with a lengthy over 2 week ticket, got the "fix", and there is still issues....  If it were because of temporary files on my computer, once the "fix" was initiated it should have fixed the problem, but it hasn't for my clan. Fixing my files worked for me, but EVERY clan member had to do the fix to get the emblems back. Still to this date, new players accepted into the clan have to use the fix to have our emblem. Getting a clan emblem was automatic before when you joined the clan, it just appeared on your tank. There were no problems with the emblems in my clan until I changed the emblem, that is when the issues started and they did not appear. Prior to that ALL new members had the emblem working for them as soon as they joined. So something that was working automatically, is not working automatically now. If it were something with temporary files, you would think there would be something added to game code during an update so people don't have to go in and "tinker" with their pc's files (not everyone is comfortable messing with internal files or even knowledgable).

They introduced a crash-to-desktop with 7.4, which didn't happend on the test server. The fix for that was published yesterday, after several weeks, just before the new patch comes out.
They introduced serious lag problems during many hours of a day which wasn't the case on the test server.
They introduced this frustrating penetration-no damage feature.
They will introduce a new matchmaker which wasn't tested at all on the NA server and its population. We have to see how this will work out during a typical day. I'm sure it works fine with many players online ...


Keckers, on Jul 26 2012 - 22:22, said: Agreed. A date based tier ranking with similar HP for all tanks based on volume/mass size and NOT a tank's tier,  would mean that a Hetzer (available in 1944) could fight against an IS and NOT LOSE JUST BECAUSE IT HAS FEWER HIT POINTS!


Keckers, on Jul 26 2012 - 23:41, said: Also, to make the game more historical the dispersion values for ALL arty in an indirect fire mode should be raised by at least 20%...in direct fire not, in fact in direct fire some arty should get a zoom like a tank's especiially if the optics are there and the muzzle velocity is high enough for direct fire!

Will it effect previous awards?
