Hello, everyone.
Well, Storm just issued errata on Evilly’s answers. Looks like Evilly screwed up again. *sigh* Here’s the corrected info from yesterday’s “Odessa” answers:
- regarding the Superpershing: Superpershing gun was only discussed, no changes are planned, only maneuverability and terrain passability will be buffed (Storm states in comments that there is simply no reason for that and that they don’t want actually buff the tank)
- IS-7 armor IS in fact historical at this moment
- tanks don’t roll over on their back not only because it’s unplayable, but also because the game is not prepared, for example the bottoms don’t have textures and there are no normal models of track and suspension destruction
- Waffentrager E-100 will get a 128mm and a 150mm gun, with 3-6 round autoloaders (this hasn’t been decided and balanced yet) on E-100 chassis
- there is in fact no guarantee that the economic model won’t be revisited before Fall 2013, there might be some changes, depends on statistics
- regarding the “reward” T10 tanks for random battles, WG has in fact not yet found suitable candidates for this role, all the suitable tier 10 tanks belong to regular branches. WG is searching, but no promises.
- French premium medium tank will in fact NOT come in 2013, it was a mistake
- Chinese TD branch will definitely come in 2014
- regarding the ingame clanwars: in fact, there will be some new clanwars functions, that will be accessible from within the game, but the old clanwars will remain as web-based interface
- roaming New Year release is in fact not confirmed, it’s a complicated feature and tests might take long
- garage battles will definitely not come in 2013, but the developers decided to actually try to implement them in random battles, as they found interesting variants (no details)
- historical battles issues do not concern only balancing, but also implementation – the interface
- 30vs30 battles will not be delayed, they just require a huge number of technical issues and solutions, that are being implemented gradually.
Well, that’s it. Some comments:
- 7/42 will come this year (but patch number is not yet known)
- T-44 premium Soviet tank won’t come before Fall
- Sturmtiger will come in 2014
- Waffenträger Panther mockup picture:
- M60 (907 and VK7201) will NOT be obtainable thru random battles
- the 128mm is NOT the L/75 and the 150mm is NOT the L/68. In other words: expect autoloaded Jagdtiger (in worse case Maus, as there was a project to equip the Maus with autoloader) and E-100 guns. This is why we can’t have nice things…
> they don’t want actually buff the tank
Yeah, they want me to sell it first, only after that they’ll buff it.
Now if we only could convice WG to sell the M60 et al at special occasions…
IMHO they could make a killing on them :) £100? £150? I’d be tempted….
Ahh….the corrections. *Heavy sigh*
BTW – I like the new format w/ the poll on the side.
And tomorrow comes SerB with his errata on Storm…
And he will tell us that the second german td line has been postponed until 2022.
No good Candidates for Random Reward bull the M60 would of been better than CW if not give Randoms M60A1 Or the Astron X
“- the 128mm is NOT the L/75 and the 150mm is NOT the L/68. In other words: expect autoloaded Jagdtiger (in worse case Maus, as there was a project to equip the Maus with autoloader) and E-100 guns. This is why we can’t have nice things…”
Goddamnit. I hoped it will be something good, but now…
Its not yet balanced. Much time to german patch.
No wonder it takes so long to release the 2nd Td line….
the Waffenträger TDs will most likey be very mobile, good camo and brutal firepower, balanced by a non existent armor.
now if u look at Waffenträger e 100, how is that supposed to work?
Big as hell-> no camo
e100 chassis-> mediocre mobility
now they refuse to give it even decent firepower, not even close to brutal. autoloaded Maus 12,8 or e100 15cm–goddamit:(
Even god himself would have trouble to balance that….
“- T-44 premium Soviet tank won’t come before Fall”
I am sad :( I want it
” the 128mm is NOT the L/75 and the 150mm is NOT the L/68. In other words: expect autoloaded Jagdtiger (in worse case Maus, as there was a project to equip the Maus with autoloader) and E-100 guns. This is why we can’t have nice things…”
WTF??? Am I drunk or don’t understand English?? What I can understand from this text is the following: E-100, JagdTiger and maybe Maus will have an autoloader weapon system.
Just like AMX scouts and F155?
It makes me happy but unfortunately I can’t believe my eyes and WG. :)
And I also expect lower penetration and damage values…
no, the new tier 10 TD will have guns similar to those tanks but with autoloaders
You’re drunk or you don’t understand english.
Well, thats good! JagdTiger gun is still one of the finest in the damned game. I regret selling it for a 268 and a JagdPanzer.
Yep. Imagine a 128mm with a 6 shot drum. That could rape everything.
no 150mm L/68 so can we expect 150mm L/63?
We can expect even L/28 – autoloaded hetzer ;p
- the 128mm is NOT the L/75 and the 150mm is NOT the L/68. In other words: expect autoloaded Jagdtiger (in worse case Maus, as there was a project to equip the Maus with autoloader) and E-100 guns. This is why we can’t have nice things…
As I expect it will be the Maus, thank you for saving me the time and trouble grinding these
- regarding the “reward” T10 tanks for
random battles, WG has in fact not yet
found suitable candidates for this role,

regular branches. WG is searching, but
no promises.
You all know how many tanks there are still to come.
And no free Tier X for reward. See where Im going?
WG already have concepts of full/half branches of tanks to come. Me want it :D
Well i was hoping for a auto loaded E-100 with the L-75 ! but i can work with jagtigers gun ! with 6 bullets it will rape every one xD
garage battles will definitely not come in 2013, but the developers decided to actually try to implement them in random battles, as they found interesting variants (no details)
if they want to compete with WT, they will have to do it.
i disagree. i think WoT is better off doing their own thing in the form of one tank at a time battles. implementing garage as the main battle form would only screw up their balance and WT would win that war because they designed their game from the ground up with garage battles in mind
Tier X reward tanks just for russia (to name a few):
object 775
object 757
object 770
object 277
object 450
object 482
object 256
object 734
“”regarding the “reward” T10 tanks for random battles, WG has in fact not yet found suitable candidates for this role, all the suitable tier 10 tanks belong to regular branches. WG is searching, but no promises.””
OH, PLEASE! :)
Just give the 7201 to randoms. The CW players on the forums have made it clear they don’t want it. Let them have their MBT’s, I’d rather have the ugly mountain of metal.
What? I didn’t.
Fake tanks with crap guns, welcome to WG policy.
Oh, and giant size, no armor, crap mobility.
No good tanks for you, dirty capitalists!
So, almost everything we liked Storm said it wasn’t true :(
So sp will only get a nerf……. well not big surprise it is not a russian tank.
Sure, just like the SU-85, the KV, the IS-2, the KV-13 or the KV-3… oh wait.
Sure, just like the SU-85, the KV, the IS-2, the KV-13 or the KV-3… oh wait.
SU-85 was OP, KV was split for the same reason, KV-13, aside from moving tiers I don’t recall it being nerfed, same with the KV-3. and I don’t recall the IS getting nerfed at all in my memory.
Both were nerfed in 0.8.5 if I recall correctly. KV-13 used to reach 60 km/h and the IS’ mantlet armor was toned down, don’t know for sure if the frontal armor was as well.
And the fact they were overpowered doesn’t mean they weren’t nerfed; they were nerfed because they were unbalanced, and that’s usually the main reason for vehicles to be adjusted despite all the “Russian [sic] bias” myth.
IS mantlet can bounce shots from T34 at 200m
that’s a lot of errata
I really don’t understand why the M60, a tank that was mass produced and saw service, must become a CW only reward. Couldn’t they pick some fake fantasy prototype tank to go with the VK 7201 K and Object 907 instead?
The Tier 10 ‘reward tanks’ like M60 should be ‘unlockable for purchase’ (not free) for random players upon certain career achievements, such as 10-15k kills, 10-20 million damage done, 100 top guns, etc. Then career achievements would actually mean something and award decent veteran players. Its not very easy to exploit such career achievement system, as you can just get the 15k kills or 100 top guns without actually playing and performing in battles.
Still, it would mean giving away for basically free another tier 10 tank to few thousands of people, so WG can’t profit much from them. Setting “20k battles or more” only promotes bots, kills/avg damage are bit better. [SerB] let’s put new year event, where people during 1-2 weeks who score at least 300 battles, 500 kills and achieve average raw exp of 600 will be allowed to buy Tier 10 LoLtraktor for 10mil price [/SerB]
That’s why i suggested ‘unlockable for purchase’ i.e, not free, but perhaps same/similar price as a regular Tier 10. Hence, its like researching a Tier 10 tank with your achievements over time, but buying it like any other Tier 10 tank.
