ApplesauceBandit, on Aug 24 2012 - 02:38, said: Have you ever considered renaming already owned A-32's, M6A2E1's, and Panzer V/IV's so they have a P for preorder on them like the KV-220 T and Panzer V/IV A so the other players can enjoy the tanks too? This would allow people who already own those tanks to still be recognized and differentiated from the rest.  If not, did you decide this would infringe upon their rarity?
Also, are there any plans to release the Panzer IV hydro, SU-85i, Panzer II ausf. J, MTLS 1G14, and BT-SV?  Would they be delivered like the type 62, put in the store, or given out for contests/special members?

Now, we all know that the VK 3601H is slated to become a heavy eventually, but are there plans or anything of that sort to include a tier 5 German heavy tank?
I know the VK 6501 has been suggested a few times around the forums.  It seems like a good candidate, probably pretty slow, 80mm frontal with thinner sides, probably 50 or 60 mm and guns ranging from the 7.5 L/24 to the 10.5 L/20, include the 7.5 L/70 as the top gun and it would size up to the KV, T1, or the BDR pretty well.

Sorry about all the German tank questions from me   I'm sure you get sick of all our German tank whining


martingalindo, on Aug 24 2012 - 05:41, said: 1) B1 Heavy tanks and A-20 have seriously under performing stats in all servers. Are you going to buff it?
2) Maybe the M7 medium tank need a buff either?
3) You say that, you are going to change HE system. Can you say what exactly (more or less damage)?
4) I know that you are going to buff IS-6. What can you say about this buff (noticeable improvement or minor improvement) (what think you are going to buff)?
5)What nerff are you going to implement for T30?

Why the MM punish me giving to me ALWAYS the team with the worst stats and in the other team all the good green players?. Out of joke i cnat be believe it is a random choose, im only in the 10% of times in the good team, i cant do nothing with teams suiciding in minute 3, in defense with heavys running at lemmings at the other side, with campers hiding in a bosom in K1.
Would you ever modify the MM to take in consideration the efficiency of players so it can mix good and bad players in equal proportions for each team and not decide since the begining the fate of the match?.


18bbarker, on Aug 24 2012 - 07:35, said: Hi there, I was just wondering......If sometime in the future all tanks will receive armor skirts in the research area? I would love armor skirts for the PzIII/IV because it has kinda weak armor. And could you NERF the JgPzE100 cause it should NOT be able to kill a Tiger II in 1 shot or a KV-5 1 shot. Just make the JgPzE100 have a 15cm gun instead of 17cm


TheBaronmk1, on Aug 24 2012 - 08:05, said: Dear WG,
do you run any statistics on the types of requests and questions asked in these threads and if so are you not worried that the most common complaints and questions all relate to high tier german vehicles, which curiously is also backed by W/L statistics.  The most common requests are E100, JPE100 and E50(M).


AsK_808, on Aug 24 2012 - 08:35, said: Will there be more color options that can be applied to the tanks and will those colors be customizable? (ie. a full red, black, etc colored tanks)


Hirumaru, on Aug 24 2012 - 16:58, said: So, Vallter, an IS-4 with a vulnerable driver's hatch is a "historical inaccuracy" but German guns having deflated penetration data isn't?
Why were my questions about the 30 degree "conversions" not yet answered?
Why was my question about the announcement to separate the engine from the transmission in December of last year not answered?
Do the devs yet have an answer as to how the RNG mechanism works and whether it is working as intended?
How many months and years must the community wait for the answers it seeks?
