Has the earning model for tier 10 arties been checked after the big arty nerf? Repair costs were upped to 30k _before_ the nerf whereas other tier 10s have stayed at 20-22k range.

Or is this simply “how terrible, don’t play tier 10 arty”?

Question derived from what dr_zitterhand asked in the reminder post.

After the Havoc implementation, when tracks will be modelled individually, when the game engine decides the type of terrain on which the tank is driving will it
- take into account the type of terrain on which each track is running or
- take into account the type of terrain directly under the middle point of the tank, like it is now ?

damned site keeps rejecting my comments.

Yes, the “Better than stock, worse than elite” rule doesn’t stand for many other prems. That’s why I wanted to know if there are any other aspects to consider. As long as a prem is not the best but not the worst in any given category, it should be fine. At the same time it needs something to stand out in order for people to buy it. T-34 has tier X pen, Lowe has laser accuracy, Manther has that funny skin, SU-122 has a high alpha machinegun … etc.

Yes. Why wouldn’t it? Wasn’t that the whole deal with the German heavy rebalance?
Reduced engine power, and reduced terrain resistance to compensate.

There is nothing wrong with this system, we could always go back to the +/- 3 tiers system.
I lived, breathed and suffered through my M4A3E8 having to fight against tier 9 IS-4′s and E-75′s.

System as it is works just fine and forces a higher level of difficulty on players, but not one that is completely unbeatable like your tier 4 tank seeing tier 7′s…

Tier 10 TD shell cost too low?
(Same Calibre guns with improved shell dmg/pen have the same shell cost as those a tier below, See US 155mm and USSR 152mm Guns)

to limit the person who has to add them back to the players account’s work load.

obviously if you have the tank fully researched you get the hulls even if you dont own it any more.

unlikely.
