Official Q&A Thread: 7.5 Era

Potoroo, on Sep 04 2012 - 15:57, said: PLEASE make this a priority. Until you've played on 250-300 ping over networks that are never entirely reliable you can have no idea how essential the client AND server reticle combination is. The 7.4 implementation was awful and only made the game harder to play.

As a side note - you guys (mods/devs) here in the NA forum are  doing a really good job when it comes to communicating with the members here. Would be nice if the guys from Paris could take some lessons.

It is very nice to be able to see both the client and server reticle at the same time. To be honest I think the blue reticle looks better as well. Is there a petition we can sign to help this along? There have been several topics in the suggestion forums on this topic.
1) When calculating penetration using historical values (German vs. Russian tests) are you taking into account the quality of the steel?
2)What are the details on the changes to gold rounds? I am very excited to hear what reductions are planned. It is rather depressing when you angle your tank and bounce everything thrown at you.....until a tank with gold rolls up and penetrates your armor with every shot at long range.
Will the penetration values be lowered a lot? And if they are "nerfed" will the cost stay the same or be reduced?
edit: one more question
