4.8.2013

Listy wrote a new article about… tanks with rockets, yes please :)

- In connection with making the Panthers more realistic:French Maybach engines changed to historical parameters? “If needed”
- SerB states that you will get the same results, whether you play WoWp with mouse/keyboard or joystick – this was planned (SS: as in, no advantage for joystick users)
- when using roaming, it won’t be possible to buy a tank (SS: for example with discount) from another server
- SerB states that various “Stalin” inscriptions (that were removed from EU server) were historical
- European office can do what the main Minsk office allows it (delegates the authority). SerB thinks that by removing the Stalin inscriptions, they have overstepped their authority, but won’t make a problem out of such a small thing
- new things purchaseable for gold in the future? “Only such things, that won’t directly impact effectiveness in combat”
- World of Tanks Blitz requirements? “Will tell when the time is right”
- when the battle ends, the tracks (and apparently gun too) module repair costs count for 0 (SS: as in, tracks get repaired automatically for free)
- SerB would like to make a full Soviet scout branch, but he states that unfortunately there is no possibility to do that
- the (dark) anniversary hangar has nothing to do with night battles
- apparently, the news that the players will be able to disable the chat completely were wrong, as it (according to SerB) breaks the teamplay

  1. When you think about how many request for night battles were wrote over the forums and compare with the number of complains because of the dark garage you realize our player base is retarded.

  2. - apparently, the news that the players will be able to disable the chat completely were wrong, as it (according to SerB) breaks the teamplay

    chat in randoms Breaks the teamplay, best quote ever!

    breaks rage,
    breaks spammers,
    breaks whiners,

    but above all, no chat -> improves teamplay beyond anything

    • Imagine if in a game if players assessed the situation as it developed and adjusted their play to help their team win using common sense. Does anyone know where I can find a game like that.?

    • You got a point tho. Ive yet to see anything constructive in game chat at all, only whine and flame.

  3. - when the battle ends, the tracks (and apparently gun too) module repair costs count for 0 (SS: as in, tracks get repaired automatically for free)

    That can’t be right. I recall at least a couple of battles where my T95 suffered no other damage than a single knocked out track (huehuehue) and I ended up with a repair bill of a few hudred credits, 600 IIRC. That was a while ago, though, so the situation may have changed since then.

    • Just today, only one track damaged, still full health.
      repair cost: 300 on ST-I

      • Just wanted to say same thing. That statement is utter BS. Damaged tracks do have repair, but it’s not that high. Couple of hundreds, depending on what vehicle it was. I really wonder sometimes does the developers even play their game. Ok i know that they can’t be 100% about all things, but they make mistakes quite often, and it seems that players knows much more about the game itself, than they do.

      • Are you sure you didn’t get damage to other modules? It could be that you didn’t receive enough damage to put the modules in the ‘damaged’ state, but they still will have lost hit points.

  4. when the battle ends, the tracks (and apparently gun too) module repair costs count for 0 (SS: as in, tracks get repaired automatically for free)

    This is wrong
    If I finish a battle where i’ve received no HP damage but tracks have, i’ll have a repair cost of 300

  5. “European office can do what the main Minsk office allows it (delegates the authority). SerB thinks that by removing the Stalin inscriptions, they have overstepped their authority, but won’t make a problem out of such a small thing”

    Nerf the EU Office!!!!!!!!

    Oh.. they already did…

    SerB.. as usual.. talking out of his bollox…

  6. First it was to make panther more historcal, now they make the engines more realistic? Well let me tell you what, keep the stock engine and buff the speed and acceleration, because the hp/weight ratio doesnt make any sense in WOT anyways.

    Why cant they just give the panther tanks a more powerfull yet historical engine? Alot of stuff in this game a just fictional anyways, like guns and engines that are mounted.

      • If the needed XP for the first engines won’t rise it will be a nice buff for the Panther statistics, because shorter stock-time -> better performance. Atm the (old) german Meds are not that good w/r-wise, so it could help to fix that without touching the well-balanced Elite-configurations.

  7. “- SerB states that you will get the same results, whether you play WoWp with mouse/keyboard or joystick – this was planned (SS: as in, no advantage for joystick users)”

    This tells much about wowp. There is a reason why fighter pilots in real life didnt had keyboard and mouse, but this is wargaming afterall.

    • There’s also a reason why fighter pilots had a major factory’s worth of dials and switches in front of their noses, and if possible were trained for years to make any sense out of them.

      There’s also a reason casually oriented flight games roundly ignore that shit.

  8. >- European office can do what the main Minsk office allows it (delegates the authority). SerB thinks that by removing the Stalin inscriptions, they have overstepped their authority, but won’t make a problem out of such a small thing

    These Stalin-themed inscriptions have also been removed on the NA server, so either the EU and NA office stepped on Minsk’s toes, or the Russian developers got the idea that people outside the former Soviet mainlands aren’t too keen on that guy, and they’re just trying to keep appearances up for their RU customers.

  9. “apparently, the news that the players will be able to disable the chat completely were wrong, as it (according to SerB) breaks the teamplay”

    What team play? No one writes anything useful in battle chat.

    • How it works:
      n chances that person reads chat * n chances that person KNOWS english * n chances that person is capable of tanking = siemaktoplwitammoinpozzcusas and clan spammers.

  10. “- SerB would like to make a full Soviet scout branch, but he states that unfortunately there is no possibility to do that”
    Oh really now? Well in that case i present to you THIS thread. :)
    http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/265735-slakrrrrrrs-tier-10-light-tank-thread-ussr/

    Slakrrrrrr has found suitable candidates for light branches, all the way up to teir 10 for each nation, this is just the link to his USSR one, which i found relevant to Serb’s reply. But he has a link therein back to his original post where he has light branches for each nation :)

  11. “apparently, the news that the players will be able to disable the chat completely were wrong, as it (according to SerB) breaks the teamplay”
    Ehm…since when there is teamplay in WoT???

  12. “- In connection with making the Panthers more realistic:French Maybach engines changed to historical parameters? “If needed””

    Considering they’re basically further developements of the same engines various hight-tier German tanks use… nudge nudge weenk weenk knowwhatImeen?

  13. I just hope that engine “rebalances” won’t touch JagpzE100 that thing is slow enough already :|

    • Read the Q&As again. While Panther loses the top engine, it’s terrain passability will be better, allowing it to keep the maximal speed it has now.

      IF the Maybach engines get rebalanced, it will most likely mean that the tanks using them will get better terrain passabilityas well.

  14. They’re removing the “Stalin” stuff? Oh noes, anyone talk to expendable ensign? Check the bridges in the area he lives. He may either be trying to jump off of it at this news, or it’s just another Sunday at home for them living under one, the troll they are.

        • Awww did i say something wrong you ignorant guido noob dipshit? Still hiding your real game nick? Must be painfull to be so insecure not to even write your own nick

  15. Fuck stalin and all who tries to prevent freedom. CUmmusnisk can bluw me and so can

    • And so can your daddy.

      We of WG thank you for your feedback of highest quality and wish you pwn all streak in GFT.

      nyan cat blows you……. A kiss. I won’t touch that thing even if I was able to find it…

  16. If I have to read “realistic” and “WoT” in same the sentence one more time I throw up.
    EVERY adjustment (Panther Engines, E-100 turret position, E-100 side armor,…) happens for balancing reasons.

    Same goes for Lorraine depression… maybe there is a breach extension, maybe not – but in WGs eyes it would be unbalanced if it could lower the cannon further than it can now.
    That´s why it can´t.
