I have seen that scene and it is exactly why I DO want solid gun barrels. It will force people to think more about their positioning.

If making players to suffer is not adding to a gameplay, what is? I mean Dark Souls is a game that mostly sells on the fact that it makes you suffer. How is adding HD models to the game adding something on the gameplay? is new HD models so shiny that you get blinded when you aim at them?

Also, love your idea of Panther Joust, who cares about historical battles, make them historical panther joust battles. :D

When you ditch the old engine, you can also ditch the old workers and hire ones that know how Havok works. (I know, I know, cold but that is how most do business these days.)

Please do not suggest that to WG though, I am quite fond of myself being alive.

Second I agree with you.

Third: I would love to see multicore to actually run the game at +30 fps (I know, first world problems) rather than the fancy visible upgrades, as for I absolutely loved the game from patch 8.2 when I hopped into bandwagon until 8.10 when I was still running at 50+ fps.

Well if Havok is coming along with multicore support that it is rumored to come with, I honestly do not think anyone will be seeing an fps drop. Most of the players have computer with atleast Duo core I would guess… If they would succeed to optimize the multicore well, I’d expect to see double, probably even triple rise in fps.

Only thing lowering the fps further would be caused by added effects + graphics, such as HD tanks for example. And btw, it is only us few that has AMD FX processors that are mainly crying about multicore since Intel processors seems to have double fps compared to relatively priced AMD ones, probably thanks to hyper-threading, so ofc Intel owners would not know of this issue (lucky you).

That is also why I would have wished that they took their time with 9.0, even if it took 6 to 12 months to introduce it with Havok + multicore than getting the HD models.

I did actually wreck my KV-1 transmission because I was retard trying to get through a thick tree ones. well still managed to kill 3 – 4 Player driven tanks and few AAA installations so my score luckily did not suck from my bad driving.

Real charmer calling people fagboys if they like something diffirent. You must also be a fagboy if you do not use Lotus Embo toilet paper or wear Black Horse underwear! (though I think I may just have offended gay community by saying you are one).

“- the gun barrels are not solid, because making them solid would add nothing to the gameplay, it would only cause players to suffer when driving through a forest or a city”

So why not make the panther its own game mode ie Panther Joust :P

Yes, because the mobility, terrible gun and super effective frontal armour change between test and live server and of course the super terrible side armour suddenly bounces shots like crazy while you can use the ass to tank some shots for you. I can penetrate the side of an IS-7 with a T-44 up to angles of 60 degrees and it still has the same weak-spot at the frontal sprocket as other heavies that every bloody medium play should know about now.

I see. So they can forcefully remove the T-50-2 that I spent gold (free xp and what not) on, give me the shit MT-25. Then POSSIBLY sell it back later for money. (Yes I know it said “we have no plans to make it premium” but we all know WG)

Having played tank sims before WoT where barrel collision WAS a thing, I can tell you that yes, it can be frustrating… if you’re used to the current setup where the gun barrel is only a thing when you’re shooting at it. What it would do would force a change of strategy in city maps, in part because peek-a-boom would no longer work. That being said, it has no place in an arcade game (Because regardless of what anyone says WoT will never be anything but) like World of Tanks, and Wargaming made the right decision leaving it out, because it’d be another mechanic that would piss off new players and possibly cause them to leave, thus losing WG money.
