ulrikov, on Aug 19 2012 - 15:18, said: Can you confirm that the IS-4 is getting its driver's hatch removed
as it will become an IS-4M variant in the upcoming 8.0?If this is true, I believe you'll be giving the IS4 a clear advantage whereas the German E-100 is utterly limited only to HP buff and Traverse increase buff (based on WG interview RU), which is barely useless...
One more thing, why is the E-100 not getting any Pen buff on the 15cm?
I mean, why do the devs think accuracy buff (with RoF nerf) is a better upgrade when the E-100 wasn't intended to snipe?
Or if its not getting any Pen Buff at all, would it be possible that the 15cm get deadly accuracy (since it can't penetrate anything except on aiming weakspots)... by deadly accuracy, I mean like 0.3 accurate (with 3rpm RoF, same aiming time, no HP buff)?
Vallter: 1)IS-4 vision slit of driver will be removed, it's true. It won't
influence damage model of the vehicle though. All in all, it's only
aestetich change.
2)Because we think the it will make this vehicle overperforming. We do not want to buff it in one update and face necessity to nerf it in the next one.
3)Are you sure that E-100 was not intended to fire on a bit longer distances, as all German Tech Tree is intended to?
4)See point 2. We want to balance E-100 and have it overall performance even to other Tier 10 vehicles. But we do not want to creat an Imperial Death Star.

ArtV, on Aug 19 2012 - 15:27, said: So help me understand. You are taking the PZ4 which has
a great sniping gun and a nicely armored turret from the front and
no other advantages and removing both? This is a slight
reworking? So this will be a slow moving lightly armored
(lowest tier 5 medium armor from the sides and rear which is
important given its speed) medium? Just want to make
sure I understand because it looks like you are removing all the
positives of that tank and keeping the negatives and labeling it a
'slight' reworking.I really do not believe that the tank is significantly OP. Look at the speed and traverse, it is horrible.
Why do you feel the need to immediately address any alleged GermanPZ4 balance issues immediately? The KV and KV3 were significantly OP for what, 2 years?
Thanks and I am sorry for any bitter tone.
ArtV
Vallter: Pz IV was always along with KV, though the last one was rebalanced
3 updates vefore the Pz IV. Please, do not play with facts.
Also Pz IV will be rebalanced to overally tweak it's performance with new equipment.

LehrCommander, on Aug 19 2012 - 15:47, said: Why is it that it seems Russian tanks are getting more exp than
German tanks for doing the same or similar things?Ex: I shot an IS-7 down to 50% health in my KT earlier and died, getting only 200~ exp. I then shot an IS-3 in my KV-3 and then was killed, receiving 600~ exp. Why is this?
Vallter: XP rates depend on many things and also on the performance of the
whole team. There is no difference between nation or type of the
tank you play. Factors will always remain the same.
Thuringen, on Aug 19 2012 - 17:03, said: Thx for the answersQ What are the difference between the actual hull of the IS-4 and the new IS-4M hull ?
Vallter: Answered above.
kaaz, on Aug 19 2012 - 17:18, said: With all the new premium tanks now available in almost all Tiers,
do you intend on implementing a limit for the numbers of premium
tanks in standard battle?I have had a match playing an IS-3 that I have worked very hard to obtain and 10 of my teammate had premium tanks... Not to say that those 10 tanks where the first to die with the other team loosing none. Now, more then often, I am in match with more and more premium tanks... Giving a big tank to someone who have no clue on how to play give a great advantage to the opposing force.
Thanks for reading my comment.
Sebastien
Vallter: No, there won't be any specific limit on amount of Premium vehicles
in one team.
Dinyne, on Aug 19 2012 - 17:34, said: If you have already answered this sorry, the threads kinds long to
go read through tho. I was just wondering if your team felt that
the T-43 was too easily ammo racked? On my 34-85 I can hardly
recount more than maybe 4 or 5 total ammo racks by the time I had
researched everything and had unlocked my T-43. After playing maybe
15k experience worth of games on my T-43 I have already topped that
number, it seems like every other death is ammo-rack related.Vallter: T-43 has rather few HP of Ammo Rack module to balance it's good
parts with other vehicles. I would suggest you to use 'Wet Ammo
Rack' as additional equipment and also train your gunner
with 'Safe Storage' perk to make the situation better.
Currently we are satisfied with vehicle performance and do not plan to change it.

PaoSan, on Aug 19 2012 - 19:51, said: Hello, I've read this post for some time and I did not see my
question therefor I guess it has not been asked,Could it be possible to make a Video clip on how to use the french light tank line a bit the same as you did for the type-62 when it came on sale? Because since 7.5 got out, all the amx 1375,90 got boosted up 1 tier and now people dont understand what those little things can do, I get in alot of tier 10 matches and it dosent bother me because those little ones can compete in those kind of match ( its hard ) . But alot of public players dont understand that being even if it is a light tank it Cannot be played like a t-50-2,Chaffee, Elc as a suicidescout. I do understand the fact it has the litlle light dot on it but its like the m3 lee its a medium tank yet you have to play it as a Tank Destroyer, So could you help understand new and older player that the new french line cannot be considered scouts even if they are light ?
thx alot
Vallter: We do plan to increase amount of tutorials, but not in the nearest
future. Currently I would suggest you to watch some player-made
materials on the matter.
Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Aug 19 2012 - 20:21, said: That's actually a huge buff. Better than a camo net for anything
with less than 20% base camo (ie, nearly everything) and on
permanently (for gold). Makes a camouflaged Maus hide almost as
well as an IS-7.Any reason why this one is additive whereas the rest of the camo bonuses like camo nets are multiplicative? Seems that it's going to be pretty much mandatory on any competitive tank.
Vallter: It will be additive to all bonuses (camo net, skills) and than the
result number will be a multiplicator for the bonus amount basing
on the second type of your calculations. This is what I've meant
initally. I will try to choose clearer phrases next time.
Khanwulf, on Aug 19 2012 - 21:03, said: Couple of questions, which you might consider rephrased suggestions
if you wish:1) Any plans to include the German PAW 600 (Panzerabwehrwerfer 600, officially designated 8H63) or its intended successors (10cm, 12cm), which were intended for some of the E-series lighter vehicles? Seems like this gun would be tailor-made for WoT, since while it would be an accurate HE-howitzer (recoilless rifle, really), it would really only shine with gold HEAT rounds.
2) Any chance of getting an indicator of the number (let alone type) of installed modules on tanks in the hanger screen? Finding the equipment to swap to a new vehicle can be annoying....
Thanks

Vallter: 1)No, there are no such plans.
2)You can fin this looking in depot.

Statless_QQ, on Aug 19 2012 - 21:12, said: 1) Do you have any plans to add a second heavy tree for the U.S.A
or a third heavy line for the germans?2) Will any maps be added in future updates (8.1 etc) or will you continue to rework the current maps?
3) Are you planning to make track or radio upgrades visible on the tank?
Thanks.
Vallter: 1)We are thinking about adding second Heavy Tree in future (no firm
decision for now), but we currenlty see no place for 3rd German
Heavy Tree in the game.
2)Though we have many maps in development currently, they all were postponed. We will add new physics and new render to existing maps first. I cannot say when this process will end, but we most probably won't see any new maps in 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2.
3)Yes, we have it in plans, but it has low priority and will be implemented only in the next year, if ready.

NinjaBullet, on Aug 19 2012 - 21:48, said: I have another question.Since you guys are adding more new perks/skills in the future (well thats what I heard) are you going to reset all the skills on all our tanks again, just like what you did when you introduded the new skills and perks in 7.2 update?
Vallter: Yes, we will most probably provide such offer, if we add a bucnh of
skills and perks in one update.
AcesHighMDP, on Aug 19 2012 - 22:48, said: Vallter, are you planning to do anything about troll platoons ?
Please don't tell me that MM compensates when a team gets 2 tier 1s
platooned with a tier 10. Every single time the match ends with 3
or 4 team kills, and everybody hates it except the trolls that do
it. At the very least, they should wait in line until there's
another platoon to put on the opposite team.Vallter: There are currently no plans, though we do discuss such possibility
internally.
The_Choosen1, on Aug 20 2012 - 02:26, said: Vallter,1.The T-28 F-30 85MM gun was removed in 7.5 right? a Free xp compensation was done even it could be equipped on the KV-1 and the KV-3 and some others, then why the Panzer IV L/70 gun doesn't gets compensated ?
2. I heard arty is recieving a nerf in general in 8.0, can you explain me what it is?
3. With the new pyshics, If I Ram an IS-3 by the side in my KT and make him flip over, he will die, but will I get the full kill xp and creds?
Vallter: 1. F-30 85 MM can be used on KV and KV-3. This guns are neither
popular nor effective on this vehicles. In contrary, L/70 per our
statistics is one of the most used guns on some vehicles aside of
Panzerkampfwagen IV
2. It won't receive general nerf in 8.0. Could you please report the person, who told this to you?
3. You would hardly flip him over. Flipping over will be overall nearly impossible. But you will receive credits and XP for dealing him damage
