1. Oh nice, no other soul in the premises yet!

   • That’s just a verbose way of saying “first”. Burn the witch!

     • How do you know he’s a witch?

       • He floats on the surface.

         • Let’s build a bridge out of him.

       • He weighs the same as a duck?

     • Wouldn’t that technically be a warlock? :3

2. Does E100 have also a secondary gun or just a mg?

   • It does. 75 mm low velocity gun above the main gun.

   • Should be the same one – 75 mm KwK 44 L/36.5

     • The stock Sherman gun is an L/37, for reference.

       Stronk firepower.

       • Could fire APCR as Default Ammo.
         Kill off that annoying BatChat or WTE100 at 100hp.

         • Now that’s finally some constructive opinion

         • You don’t need apcr for WT, even 75mm HE can go through “turret” like through butter.

           • overmatch FTW

       • Its enough firepower to keep someone permatracked infront of you ;)

         • Indeed. Doesn’t matter the length of the gun. As long as it can spam HE faster than the other guy can repair it’s going to be nice addition.
           Paper thin tanks and arty won’t like it either.

     • According to PanzerTracts, Maus turret II was planned with 75mm L/24 not L/36.5.
       When E100 turret is based on that you have the answer in the L/24.
       Still good for a HE shell^^

     • No, Panzer Tracts 6-3 shows the E-100′s 7.5cm was not extended like the Maus one. It’s still the same L/24 gun from the earliest model Panzer IV’s

       • Which was still in use and was being mounted on new Panzer III Ausf N’s in August 1943.

         7,5cm KwK 37 L/24 gun

3. Sounds good. Keep up good work SS

4. What is the Object 268 heavy tank?

   • Google is your friend. It is a heavy tank from last heavy tank competition in Soviet army.

     • I can only find info on the Object 268 TD nothing about a heavy tank

       • Did not noticed typo – search for Object 277, 278, 279 and 770.

5. My question is that how will the hull changes be compensated especially the high tiers? If we grinded the E50-Motorsport, will we get a free T9 when the original E50 is gone? is it only available in high tiers?

   • Probably if u Have Both E-50 and E-50M on the garage u will get free Tier 9 tanks (Turbo Panther) if u only have E-50, then it goes up to tier 10 (no Bonus) and E-50 M only, then no Bonus Either

     • I can only find info on the Object 268 TD nothing about a heavy tank

6. He means THIRD Soviet TD branch right? That’s okay, everyone forgets about the Obyekt 263

   • Correction. Everyone Wants to forget about that line.

     • Which is a pity as in expert hands it murders everything. It is just not noob friendly, so it is unpopular in random.

       • True, grind is hard, but obj 263 is a goddamn beast on randoms.

       • agree.

         we use 263′s in CW sometimes, and not just one or two of them – in combination with other TDs.

7. >Tracks unaffected by angles

   And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why it’s ridiculously easy to pen an angled Maus through the front wheel (bypassing the sideskirt). Same applies to AT-2->Tortoise and to a lesser extent the T95

   • Pretty much the only way to frontally pen an AT-2 in the Matilda IV or anything else with an underpowered gun, really. The only thing that saves said TD from being permatracked and killed by the hundreds is that the drivewheel being such a crippling weakspot isn’t very widely-known at all.

     Tier 6+, generally it’s not needed to aim there, as guns almost universally have enough penetration for the cupola at range and/or there’s big derpy weak spots to shoot at anyway (see: the entire right front quarter of the AT-8).

8. - it’s possible second Soviet TD branch (with SU-152P and SU-152G) will appear

   third?

   • Ye third

9. That 75mm on the Maus will be useless, it would only be any good if you didn’t have a reticle to aim with.

   • 12,8cm gun reloads some time and you could do some damage in the meantime to tanks such as BatChat or WTE100

   • You can keep someone permatracked infront of you and slowly shred him with the main gun for example ?

   • Or you could use it to fire at destructible environment (houses, fences, walls) to clear the way for your big gun.

     I drive E-100 sometimes and apparently it also has secondary 75mm gun. It is often that something camps at opposite sides of some fragile building but I don’t want to fire at the building because of the reload time. With 75mm gun functional I could spam HE at all the obstacles covering my enemies, I could try to track enemy tanks and keep them tracked or I could finish off very low hp scouts that otherwise would cost me a very expensive shell and 16 seconds of reload.

10. it’s possible second Soviet TD branch (with SU-152P and SU-152G) will appear

    i’m bet the top tier gonna be Object 120

    • Taran ? Are you serious ? That thing would have over 500mm penetration and mobility better than Foch 155 or Obj.263 and will have a turret! it’s just way too advanced m8!

      • ^^ Seems about right for a soviet T10 :P jk

      • How often they said “Taran” won´t be implemented? 50 times?

        Buf ofc Cpt. Obvious strikes again and thinks that Obj. 120 (Taran´s Factory-Designation) will be the T10 of this branch..

        The internet.. jeez….

        May the 46%-tomatoes be with you!!

        • Ratte!

          #^w^

11. what’s a short 7,5cm gun going to penetrate in tiers 8 to 10?

    • For tracks and extremely light armored tanks, like the WT auf E-100, its good enough.

    • Load HE on it? keep tanks tracked while you reload you main gun? finish off light scouts and low HP tanks? blow up obstacles to clear your shots? I see many uses on that second gun.

      • 7.5 HE isn’t doing shit to armored low hp tanks. Thanks to long ago HE nerfs, 0 damage is what happens there.

        True, it will help a lot with unarmored tanks such as the Leoplard

      • Yep it will be very useful.

        The Char B1-bis’s 75mm will however be deadly.

        Flamethrowing Char B2 is however even more deadly…

        So much fun is coming to tier 4. =)

      • HE of that caliber would be too weak, it won’t do much ddamage if any.

        • Start thinking about what it can do as people will use it.

        • It doesn’t need to do any damage. It an be used to demolish buildings or reset repair of someone’s tracks. For long reload tank it is a godsend.

12. “- IS-3 with various hulls will most likely appear. Optional hulls will start with the most obvious choices (such as various frontal armor on IS/IS-2 tanks), after that other optional hulls will be slowly added, but SerB adds that there won’t be ALL the hull variants of all the tanks in game (for example hulls where the only difference was an added towing cable)”

    Huh, so they plan on more than just a stock hull and an elite hull, not was I was expecting

    • I would’nt call them elite and stock hulls. Well, on most tanks anyway. It’s more along the lines of modifiyng tanks into what suits you better – a.k.a. armor versus mobility or compromise between them, etc. Should also allow for greater variety in gameplay, if all goes according to plan.

      • except unless the tank in heavy mode is exceptionally well armored, everyone will go mobility.

        • In case of IS-3, 120 mm frontal armor (both UFP and LFP), pike nose with ~similar angels.

13. SS, Object 268 “heavy tank” is a mistake of a player, who posted question. There is no such thing IRL. Change to 278, because it is what he wanted to ask (about last soviet heavy tank designs, thats why he mentioned Object 770).

14. i love hulls upgrade and multi turret ;Di hope they come in 9.0 version

    • multi-turret is a story of distant future I guess… many times SS wrote it’s not high priority so… go figure

15. - when multi-gun mechanism is implemented and Maus gets its 75mm gun, SerB states its game impact will be negligible

    French tanks will disagree!!!

    • yep.

      Already looking forward to slapping things with my Char B1. And the M3 Lee/Grant ofc.

      • And Chuchill I. The gun on it’s hull will be deadly

16. - T14 appearing as the only tier 5 tank in tier 6 battles despite being too weak fort that? “How terrible…”

    I understand that they get a lot of stupid questions, but I can’t help but think that sometimes they deliberately go out of their way to choose the stupidest questions they can answer in order to troll people.

17. - when multi-gun mechanism is implemented and Maus gets its 75mm gun, SerB states its game impact will be negligible

    Well it’ll give Maus drivers one extra weapon in their arsenals to deal with Batchats and other thinly-armored vehicles, or to track a medium trying to flank them.

    • If you are lucky you can actually break enemies gun.

18. Tier 10 japanese heawie tenk will be similar to maus? Lol, why not, I bet the tier 9 and 10 japanese mediums and heavys will have OP guns, armor, and mobilty to be superios anyways. Just like some other tanks at tier 9 and 10 compared to the tier 10 heavys.

    • Whine, whine never changes.

    • Japanese heavies will be big, but i expect actually that armor is much weaker than german heavies.
      I think japanese heavies will get bigger HP pool and better firepower, more a TOG-like tanks.

19. We get money from more options, not from long grinds.”
    ___________
    We already know that, but it’s nice you aren’t ashamed to admit it. Why else would we have that many tanks implemented(most of them “coincidentally” OP at release, later nerfed) in such a short time.

    • Whine, whine never changes.

    • If the pattern is so obvious then why is it even a problem to you, given the astonishing ease of ignoring the fuck out of the lot until they have been “normalised”…?
      Also feel free to actually name examples instead of this vague generic bullshit.

    • You really should add a happymerchant.jpg to your post next time. It fits the feel of your assertion very well.

20. - the reason there will be no tier 11 vehicles is: “We don’t want to make levelling up longer. We get money from more options, not from long grinds.”
    They don’t want to go WOW style where they kept adding a new max level so WG won’t add a new final tier.

21. I’m a bit leery of Overlord’s idea of giving bottom-tier tanks an xp bonus — already damaging/killing higher-tier tanks gives more xp than damaging/killing lower-tier tanks, I don’t see a need for a second bonus.

22. ” – T14 appearing as the only tier 5 tank in tier 6 battles despite being too weak fort that? “How terrible…””

    Someone needs to quit their whining, at least the T14 gets adequate APCR penetration for dealing with most tier 6′s and has an alright turret. There’s other tanks that are far worse off in both ways, yet get the same MM (*coughMatildacough*).

    • Huh?
      -
      Alright APCR pen (127) on T-14 for fighting T6?
      -
      Do you actually know that 3 other T5 heavies have better penetration with normal, AP ammo than T-14 APCR shells?
      -
      T1 HT, BDR G1 and Churchill I have all better penetration with AP than APCR on T-14
      -
      What is rather annoying is that British T5 heavy premium Excelsior have way better APCR (144 vs 127) than T-14 despite AP pen to almost exactly the same ( 91 on UK premium vs 92 on US premium)

23. ok the “how terrible” joke/troll its not funny anymore cant he just say we are gonna leave the matchmaker as is who does he think he is for fucks sake talking like that

    • Don’t like “How terrible”? Don’t read the Q&A.

    • Who do you *think* he is? He’s the one guy in the dev team actually willing to put up with the ball-punchingly stupid shit the forumite fucktards clog the Q&A with.
      I assume trolling is how he stays sane.
