Official Q&A Thread: 7.5 Era

DoniL73, on Aug 26 2012 - 08:49, said: i want to know why the guns stats on tanks are more than the tanks stats on guns in garage, the gun window clearly does more pen and damage, yet averaged out, on the tank, the gun turns to water pistol.
also why are some points on tanks clearly have double to triple armor than stated, say for ex. the front of a Vk3601H is 100mm, but if you aim directly at the driver hatch, at appx, 100m, it turns to stone, and you can only just ' ding them'?( this example is looking at the tank,dead on, not angled at all) and
why are stats of certain aspects of world of tanks, 'classified' why are we not able to know basic elements, as in camo ratings of tanks,
why when you clearly have a better vehicle nose to nose, one on one, you will die, and they will lose maybe 50%, but they are lighter armored, and weaker gun,
as for as tactics and strategy, when your gun does O damage, and the tank your fighting is hitting Maxed stats, tacts, and strats, mean shit, we just want to know why, gonna be like this,
may as well just make all tiers standardized, same hp, same gun pens, and damage, least give us a chance.

(EVEN tier 8s, sp, tier 9 heavies cant pen, yet die by, how is this balanced?),
specially bounces on the sides, maybe this gun was meant to fight tier 8 meds, but faces tier 10 meds and heavies, am i a scout tank now, seems to me this tank is not really balanced now this faces new threats, armor is shit, considering tier 7s pen and kill this tank repeatedly,
i dont run PA, nor buy gold rounds for any tanks. whats the purpose,
and why do my tanks consistently get suck poor rng, i rarely do max damage anymore, my winrate is only 51%, but playing my friends account at 45% does he rarely get 0% damage shots, is this a rebalancing yet again, secret?
and about the type 59, i had just bought this tank, it performed well in  the public test of (*7.3*)before it got pushed up to tier 10, it was fast, agile, and could pen alot of tier 9s, now it got nerfed, faces tier 10s, and the slowest tank of its tier, in med ranks. some maps takes a whole map to reach 55, mostly up small hills it goes 20-35, like a heavy tank, and again this tank gets penned easily by a lot lower tiers, it concerns me, having a tier 7 gun, where as my pz-3-4, having a tier 5 gun, has a hard time penning kv1, its the same tier, yet even bounces off the ass of this tank. what are you doing, what are you trying to do, and by what means are you getting there? i know now that the EU, has more economic power, more stability than the amero, which is not yet instituted, so my basic ? is are you trying to drive us mad with a game that was made fun, then ruined due to prozac and other drugs, trying to start a domestic uprising? and if this ZERO damage policy is to remain in place, then i want my garage gun stats to reflect that, make my damage stat wholly from 0-288, and anywhere in between, not many ppl pay attn, but very often i see guns do damage from -20-50 below stated minimum damage, let alone O. min damage on x gun is 217-288, yet see it only do 54 damage( on tanks 100% health, not about to die) , will this be fixed? and or soon?

A game & immersion breaking experience that may well put me off playing altogether.
Is this really what you plan to make live, or will you tone down the effects to a more realistic level?

DasButts, on Aug 26 2012 - 18:32, said: I am trying to make a large scale model of an IS-3. Is there any chance I could utilize the resources from the source that the Developers used? The drawing I have are mostly insufficient or would require some geometric "guesstimating". A response in the form of a message would be great. We don't have to clog up the forum with my silliness. Thanks,

M3A1usscout, on Aug 26 2012 - 21:34, said: I've looked at the planned American Tech Tree and it shows the Christie tank line. When can we expect those tanks to appear?
Can we also expect to see some old premium tanks to be availible with silver (like the m4a2e4) ?


max_output, on Aug 26 2012 - 22:33, said: I think this Kiwi lad will be changing servers as well.
If i chang servers do i still get to keep the tanks i have built up...cause i so love my M18


Acewolf1, on Aug 26 2012 - 23:00, said: The batchat 105mm gun does 390 damages, 5 shells.
The AMX50B 120mm gun does 400 damages, 4 shells.
What the advantage in the 120mm gun and why the damage increase is only of 10 dmg?


Saleenseven, on Aug 26 2012 - 23:46, said: Is there going to be a map in the near future of WoT with 2 or more areas accessible above or below each other in a future map? An example would be a parking garage, or something around that matter.


The_Choosen1, on Aug 27 2012 - 00:58, said: Are you planning on releasing tools to make our own maps ? I would love to make a Berlin, Stalingrad or Paris map with tanks on it.
What happen to horns?
Why since 7.4 shells miss more than normal ?
Crit hits came again in 7.4 why you un-fixed the problem?
When Will I be able to change my controls? I never used auto-aim but I use sniper view every match, how can I switch these controls ?
Any plans on how to improve teamwork ? Give xp or creds for a savior medal or avenger?
What happen to the "timberjack" medal for wot ?


KilljoyCutter, on Aug 27 2012 - 05:36, said: After over a year, why are we still dealing with grief platoons dragging low-tier tanks into high-tier battles?


REFERAT_IV_B4, on Aug 27 2012 - 05:56, said: Why were tier 3 tank destroyers nerfed? Their matchmaking in 7.5 has not changed at all, they almost always see tier 5's (just like they always have), so what prompted the nerf? How would they become OP if nothing had changed?


RaiderPaladin, on Aug 27 2012 - 08:29, said: What was the reasoning behind nerfing the T30 completely across the board, and nerfing the already sub-par 105mm on the T32 in regards to accuracy?  The T30 already had low maneuverability, turret speed, and aim/loading time.  Was there really a need to nerf the gun to a slower reload speed then artillery?  The T110E3 and E4 both have virtually the same gun as the T30, but deal out far more damage and penetration.
The accuracy of the 105mm for the T29 and T32 is .42 and .43.  Can you explain why a tank cannon has lower accuracy then an artillery cannon?  The gun already has below par penetration and average damage for its tier, so the accuracy is really needed for this tank to get back on par with its peers.  Can you please give the 105 an accuracy buff so it can be a bit more effective?
