Official Q&A Thread: 7.5 Era

An admission, then? That the high variance in the penetration spread was greatly annoying players to the point that it had to be trimmed. The best I'm going to get, I suppose.
Oh, and what happened to my first two points? Did you just forget to quote them? No, you'd have to purposefully delete them. Any particular reason why?
You really believe that? That giving it a pathetic 57mm copy-paste gun in 75mm form will make it somehow . . . as worthwhile than the L70?
Oh, I'm going to love seeing the win rate of that tank bomb just to hear your new excuses.
"It performs well!" Enough to get you to the next tank, then you'll sell that POS and NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN. Do you figure that into your balancing statistics? How many people play a tank after they research the next vehicle? How many people continue to play the tank after achieving elite status? Hell! How many actually do make elite status at all? Let's see those stats. If your "security department" thinks they're safe, I mean. ^_^

I understand reasoning for the speed & dispersion nerfs but with the 2.9s aim time combined with the dispersion nerfs its very hard to hit anything without sitting still far too long.
Also I do think Zerglings' comments regarding German gun pen values should be properly responded to. (maybe not here but address it properly)
Its not just 'wah mah german stuhl' Germanwhining, seems to be well researched & convincing.

WarStore, on Sep 05 2012 - 05:46, said: Hey Vallter,
back in the closed beta days, the devs confirmed that 8.8 L/56 was underperforming, and a buff was on its way.
The buff was supposed to come in v. 6.4, iirc.
How much longer?


WarStore, on Sep 05 2012 - 06:39, said: Vallter,
I would like you to take a look at this replay. I've seen many crazy things during the last couple of years... but this is the craziest.
I shot a KV3 once for 0 dmg. It hit the gun mantlet, so spaced armor solves all the problems... ok.
The problem is on the next shot. I hit it between the hull and turret for 271 dmg.
Damage listed for my gun is 300-500. How can my gun do less than 300 dmg?



NinjaRage, on Sep 05 2012 - 14:14, said: Ok i am wondering if you guys are in the process of getting gamecards. i would like to be able to go get a prepaid card from stores around me i hate how everything is online and i dont like online because i have no way of getting it online.


bat21zing, on Sep 05 2012 - 17:23, said: When will the NA server see tank locking in CW? I feel like we are being cheated. Eventually the servers will all be linked and NA will be at a disadvantage because we've gone without tank locking so long. We need to have it implemented here so we can learn to cope with it. It's time to take off the gloves and let us get ready!


Montykoro, on Sep 05 2012 - 18:03, said: Valter Storm talks about penetrations mechanics,ricochet and etc, can translate this for us? Google fu is too weak to do a decent Job
Thanks! (After the translate maybe GD or Tan can make a post and stick in gameplay section? or a "News" article)


Ironfa1con, on Sep 05 2012 - 19:03, said: Thanks for your previous answer Vallter on the JgPzE100. I appreciate the information! I have a couple more questions.
1) Some people are saying the Foch is under powered but there are nerfs planned for it.  What nerfs might we see for the AMX50 Foch 155?
2) Could you give us a hint as to what nerfs we may see on the T110E3?
3) Same question for the T110E4.
4) It seems that the Obj 268 is being left alone, but I believe it has performed just as well as the American and French TD lines.  Are there plans for a nerf on the 268?  If so any hints on what we should expect?  If not what is it that you see on that tank that we don't?
5) Out of curiosity, instead of nerfs, why doesn't WG just buff the under performing Tier 10 tanks to the level of the best performing ones?


RaiderPaladin, on Sep 05 2012 - 22:02, said: I actually have a question regarding the T30...yes I know that it has more then likely been asked already but I am going to ask it again if that is the case.  How can you possibly feel that its OP and requires yet another nerf across the board?
