Ha, after practically half a year, SerB started answering questions! Here’s what he wrote:
- the exact formula of credit gain calculations will not be disclosed
- there is no direct corellation between credit gain and winrate: “Playing to gain maximum amount of money, playing to gain maximum amount of XP and playing for maximum winrate are very different things”
- “Developer diaries” video series was not scrapped
- regarding the new motion physics – “it’s not that far away”
- some variants of the motion physics were scrapped because they were too realistic – “drifts, etc.”
- the developers did expect the “OMG leave it please!!!” reaction on the removal of the football mode
- Football mode returning? “Yea, and also the tank figure skating and battleship synchronized swimming” (SS: as in “no”)
- visual effects of equipment (such as stereoscopic range finder and camo net) were not scrapped, they are “still on the shelf”
- regarding the reduction of 25 percent RNG on penetration: “Until the game release it was 50 percent, we decided not to do it”
- other accuracy nerf variants than reducing the chance of the shell to fall towards the center of the circle were considered
- no plans to allow players to select the voiceover soundset in the game (SS: as in, you wont be able to select specifically German voices in a Japanese tank)
- Q: What will happen to FV215b (120)? A (SerB): “One option is to make the 120mm gun an optional gun for FV215b (183), another is to remove it completely. Also, Chieftain is not 100 percent sure.”
- Q: “Why is the 150mm on WT E-100 overnerfed?” A: “Because it’s right that way” (SS: the player mentions too low accuracy)
- the cost of all premium tanks is set individually
- apparently the removal of E-50M as such, the switch of E-50 to tier 10 and adding the Turbopanther (SS: Panther with a gas turbine) is still planned
- Object 770 will not be implemented (“it’s clearly a tier 11″)
- developers haven’t found a suitable tier 5 Soviet light tank
- Q: “Many people unlocked FV4202 so that they could get a Chieftain instead!” A:”We didn’t even hint at that. Their problem.”
- “Italian branch” was not scrapped, the rumors from RU forums are false
- Chieftain will apparently not have “195mm turret”, WG has the info about Chieftain prototypes – there is no such turret in there, apparently according to WG sources, maximum thickness of Chieftain turret armor is 150mm (Storm adds that the sources (such as Wikipedia) are incorrect, WG has its own armor thickness sources – people who measured the tank in museum)
- it’s not possible to say, what model of Chieftain will make it into the game, it’s not yet decided
- no plans to buff or nerf T110E5
- T92 Light Tank was never planned for patch 9.3
- there are plans to introduce Valiant and its variants
- made-up Henschel turret for E-100 will not be implemented (Storm: “Because SerB’s Design Bureau works only when there are no other options.”) Storm explains:
“For example, we are making a branch and in it we are missing a tank. And there is no info anywhere about a vehicle, which would fit. In such cases, we make up our own. However, in every case, without exception, we are trying to find something realistic and historical and we deal with made up vehicles only if there are no other options left. In case of E-100, there is no need to invent anything, it already has a turret. Why use a fake? Also, if we buff E-100, it will become overpowered. It is one of the most popular tanks on its tier even as it is.”
- Storm on Chieftain: “Chieftain will not be a medium tank because it goes to the heavy slot. For tier 10 heavy slot there are simply no other options. If there were any, it’s possible we would consider Chieftain for tier 10 medium slot.”
- the reason for FV215b (120) removal according to Storm: “The fewer fake tanks we have, the better” (SS: as you can see, SerB and Storm are clearly not on the same page)
And, for dessert, Tanitha explains Wargaming stance on “Warpack” cheat mod:
The mod has been around for 12+ months.
Its only recently becoming more of an issue, as its use increases.
More players are using it now days, due to its promotion within the forums recently.
Previously the mod was deemed too much hassle for little gain, and barely used.
For example. Based on feedback reports of users.
1. Its a program so comes with the security risk of being a program executable.
2. The program triggers virus scanners, possibly due to it sending the players data back to the programmers. (it at least sends the username back)
3. The program costs $9 per month for membership, per account/server.
4. Reports of the program causing additional crashing.
5. Players permanently game banned for its use.
But to answer your question..
Someone apparently once wrote 10 commandments into a piece of stone, with such things like “thou shalt not commit adultery” from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem to have had much affect.
If you wish something similar in this case, then “Thou shalt not use warpack” is now written into the forums, however once again it will make no or little difference.
Its not about making statements, or writing rules, its about hindering the activity via other means. Of which the primary means is development.
What Wargaming “Asia” will do re the program.
1. Prevent the use of the program when the use of the program is apparent, which pretty much is limited at the moment to the broadcasting of live streams, YouTube videos, self screenshots, etc.
2. Preventing the distribution of the program within the forums, which is easy to do since all programs are prohibited within the forums.
3. Upping the priority of development on the topic, as we do with all matters concerning our player base that requires development.
- Football mode returning? “Yea, and also the tank figure skating and battleship synchronized swimming” (SS: as in “no”)
I would love to see how the figure skating and synchronizing swimming would be done…
skating: t-50-2s on a skating ring with very low friction values, see who travels the furthest and crashed in the walls least
swimming: drop them in a lake and see who drowns last
:p
I had the T-50-2 on ice (for Hockey) idea before soccer was even around. Can’t believe they haven’t done it yet.
precisely what i was about to comment.
“tank figure skating” – sounds like fun!
ice surface should be implemented in winter maps ;)
Then play Ground Forces: all the skating you could ask for.
- regarding the reduction of 25 percent RNG on penetration: “Until the game release it was 50 percent, we decided not to do it”
As someone who’s played since the very very early days of the Russian CBT, I can say – no it wasn’t.
It’s always been +-25% on penetration.
“release” is ambiguous, but as early as very early RCBT, it was not 50% RNG on penetration.
Maybe Closed Alpha.
It’s a specific kind of Russian answer, of the “it was worse before, so don’t complain” type. It dodges the main question (WHY not lower that?) easily.
Retarded answer is retarded. +-25% is too damn high.
I think the 25% thing is fine :|
1150 average damage > 862,5 to 1437,5 = 575 damage
400 average damage > 300 to 500 = 200 damage
Lets not even mention how broken SPGs are.
You say you think it is fine, but you do not think.
You calculated HE mechanics. Which also depends WHERE you hit. Then also special formula applies, then RNG25%.
So what?? Life itself is full of RNG.
You want every tank in wot have the same dmg from every shots?? BORING!
And please stop with the arties Thing. They are just fine. Maybe they were a little harsh before the arty neft. But now they are fine. It’s takes skill to drive a high tier arty. And if you master something, You have the right to pwm(?-forget how to write the word) And no I’m not an arty player. I have a arty line but only grinding it for the bri enginer medal.
And I wont apologize for my bad english. Good day!
Indeed, life is full of RNG :D
Im crossing a street – one car stops, other speeds up! RNG!
One night Im drunk as hell and wake up with no hangover, other time Im smashed! RNG! :D
I think my real life RNG is bugged
” It’s takes skill to drive a high tier arty.”
Sitting around and clicking the mouse with one finger while praying to RNGesus..such skill, LOL, get out.
Yep, someone who has never played an arty. Get your self a mid teir arty, teir 5 or 6 will do, and see how well you do. Then you can see what skill is needed to play arty like poeple think it gets played, doing massive damgae every shot.. If you can average 1000dmg (at teir 5 or 6) a game then we will no it needs know kind of skill above any other wot gameplay. If not, we know that its not as easy as people think it is.
would say more or less skill rewuired than driving “normal” tanks, it is very different, needs (as normal tanks) much exirience to do very well in.
In my opinion arty is easer to do okey in, doing great or bove rquire huge skill and/or luck.
Park in your spawn, maybe not even moving from where you spawned, and then hover over tanks and click.
Pray it does damage.
Takes lots of skill for some… Then again, we aren’t discarding mentally incapable babies like the Romans did, so very simple tasks can become epic accomplishments for some.
“Yep, someone who has never played an arty”
You mean my Obj261 is not arty? idiot, at least look up what I have played before saying something stupid. Of course I have played arty, which is why I know it takes minimal skill. I used to play arty when I was tired at the end of the day when I just didn’t feel like trying, so easy to just sit there and click. Of course I sold it now, not going to be part of the problem causing cancer in this game.
“You mean my Obj261 is not arty? idiot, at least look up what I have played before saying something stupid.”
“Of course I sold it now, not going to be part of the problem causing cancer in this game.”
1004 games in arty… so that makes u an expert… “Comon son”
Not the best example your giving here with your Obj.261 with 36.67% wr.
When you’re talking about no skill is needed you’re better off telling us about your 212 with 53.30% wr.
Though that doesn’t say a lot.. its the average dmg you do in them together with your wr. what says that its easy..
And since your average dmg on the 212 is 1789 I would say.. your not that good in it.
But then again.. I dont have a 212 so can’t compare with my stats on it.
As for 261 with 1926 average dmg.. is not that good either.
Arty players see you as a “below average player” or as a lot of people call it “orange/tomato”
As for your refference to “cancer”.. It is still a game.. if you can not leave out life threatening disseases I suggest you find something to do where you are not getting frustrated enough to bring them up.
“Life itself is full of RNG.” Who gives a f***? I play games for fun, not to be frustrated.
RNG, premium ammo and arty are not fun. All three are broken, you just do not know any better.
No one cares about SPG because they are so easy to play.
Everybody says that, but really they are just different to play. Different problems, different skills. Less need to maneuver or pick a firing spot? Easier! Long travel time and inaccuracy hitting moving targets? Harder! Able to hit any tank not in cover (and not moving) while not getting spotted? Easier! 90% chance of getting killed by any tank that *does* see you? Harder!
Anyway, I have XVM and my personal experience is that I rarely see a red player playing arty at tier 4 or higher. In fact, if we only have one or two green players in a game, they tend to be arty. If they were that easy to play, more red players would play it. In fact, I see way more red players in light tanks than anything else, and by that I mean ELCs or higher.
Full disclosure, most of my games are in heavies or TDs but arty is in third place.
It was never 50%, he’s saying it was a 50/50 chance it would be reduced on release.
Only bad arty players think there is no skill involved.
There were 2 phrases of my Reply you idiot. Dont you dare mix them up. And if you just want simple fun lịke that, go play tier 1, it’s very fun friendly. In high tier battles, it’s takes brains, skills, tactics, and pains to win.
Keep saying about get rid of arty out of the game, I wont happen! Even it will, sooner or later a buch of guys like you will bring up the TDs problem ”OMG no skill TDs hide in bush with big gun when other tanks do the heavy duty… So noob! TDs are broken big gun high pen OMG OMG”. And when after TDs were removed ”OMG OMG HTs drivers noob no skill go strait to the enemy base and shooting and killing meds and LTs. It’s like 17 century battles all over again just form a line then match! Heavily armored Big gun NoJUST NO NO!!!” And then WOT has nothing left it’s over! Bunch of Meds and LTs I rather play MTB game. Dont try kill my game with your bullshits
Again I wont sorry for my bad Eng
>> – apparently the removal of E-50M as such, the switch of E-50 to tier 10 and adding the Turbopanther (SS: Panther with a gas turbine) is still planned
NO
HELL NO
LEAVE MY E-50M ALONE! (maybe buff it slightly, because it has been confirmed weak)
This change will likely coincide with the alternate hulls feature. They’ve said that if it does, you’ll be able to use the E-50M as the alternate hull for the E50.
Also lulz at “confirmed weak”. It’s #2-5 in most categories like XP/battle, efficiency, rating, WR, etc (when you take out the M60 reward tank).
Will they give it the same parameters as the E50M or change it slightly?
Yeah! I tried the M on a friends account, and I was awestruck! Surely one, if not the best T10 Med.
So I bought that stupid E-50 (slowest T8+ Med ever conceived) and started that awful, awful grind towards the 105mm.
And NOW I hear that they remove the glorious E-50M and the underpowered, slow as shit E-50 will be T10??
Anybody knows when this will happen? Is it more of a “when it’s done” (~3 yrs) or is it expected for this year?
E-50 as a tier 10?? No no no no no (HIMYM no no no no no no)
frontal engine all over again :(
underpowered E-50? You have clearly no idea what are you talking about dude. Yeah, the stock grind is painful, but when you got the gun and engine its fucking beast, not “underpowered”. Get your shit together and learn to play :p
Okay I am sorry, ive misread your comment. Yeah, without the 105 the tank sucks :)
Buff a medium tank with 270mm of penetration from a 105mm gun? LOL! You’re delusional. XD
They all get around that penetration at that tier.
Honestly the biggest problem is the E-50M isn’t particularly good in close ranges with a heavy or medium tank. The thing just gets eaten because it can’t fire fast enough, despite being called a medium. Otherwise, it’s a good tank (probably wouldn’t care if it didn’t get the buff. Much.), an excellent sniper, but I have sometimes have trouble justifying using it over the Leopard 1 with the amount of good accuracy guns with high penetration (or just plain gold) floating around the closer you get. At times you might as well have done better ditching all that armor for the stealth, the speed, and the raw agility of the Leopard 1 in a sniper/flanker role. The height, side armor, turret (the small flower pot mantlet aside), and camouflage break the deal a smidgeon too much.
TDs have that pen, but not heavies or other mediums.
are you serious? 268 on russian mediums, 268 on the american medium, 268 on the leopard 1, 270mm is 2 more gtfo.
Cant be said better.
btw say hay to Fosco from me :)
Based on my experience the E50M is pretty awesome at close range. Just keep the front armor to the enemy, slightly angled, and keep a distance at which the LFP is at an autobounce angle for the enemy or even impossible to reach due to lack of gun depression.
That leaves only the turret to shoot then, which is not an easy target if one also wiggles a bit.
My E50M shrugs off more shots in close combat than most of my heavies.
I’ve got E 50M and currently I love it more than my Leopard 1.
I think E 50M is awesome and I wouldn’t consider it weak.
Still, you can buff it, I’d be very glad D:
i think morgotz saying its “weak” is a QB reference, correct me if im wrong :)
You are correct.
E 50m underpowered my ass, its one of 3 tanks that skilled players have really nice average dmg in.
NOT MY E50M !!!
Leave Britney alooone!!
First T10 tank I have.
The stock grind on the E50 was painful so I love my E50M dearly!!
Turbo panther -> panther tier VIII panther with the same gun but decent P/W ratio ??
No thanks.
Would be nice if they could take further steps against war pack. It is cheating in every sense of the word and to have a progr… well not going to give away the details of it cause then ppl will flock to get it. But a tomato that can counter arty after you have watched his shots splash all around the front line and he had no clue where you were cause its extremely apparent he wasn’t watching for your tracers right….
There are only 2 things that Warpack could give to me to improve my gameplay.
Other than that – mods for dumb rocks behind screen blocks :D
Yep. I play modless, not even a reticle mod anymore, I don’t play enough to bother updating that shit every time.
>> 5. Players permanently game banned for its use.
and Im still in the game, isnt it awesome?!
You aren’t guilty, if you havent been caught :D

huehuehue
I read that in an angry German accent. >.>
at that point I was rather amused than angry, especially since the support made several of my days by contrdictory statements and the best part was when there was an interview in a big german game magazine (gamestar) where the german community manager stated, that “cheating is impossible” in WoT
and yes, I had to sit through the whole 2 weeks
HAHAHAH, this is so damned ridiculous…
That community guy said morgotz got banned because of aimbotting, in the next reply another guy said “aimbotting via cheat isn’t possible in WoT” hahaha, I’m laughing my ass off here :D
+1.. XD
- apparently the removal of E-50M as such, the switch of E-50 to tier 10 and adding the Turbopanther (SS: Panther with a gas turbine) is still planned
Either that Turbo gives REALLY big number of horses, or it was too good for T8 premium slot :D
Can’t be “too good”, it’s a Panther!!
Minimum 1,150 horsepower.
Engine creates 3750 HP, but transmission lowers it down to 1150 HP.
- made-up Henschel turret for E-100 will not be implemented (Storm: “Because SerB’s Design Bureau works only when there are no other options.”)
We don’t need that Henschel turret, we need dat mausturm….
don’t know why so hard to give that damn turret to the e100 http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n534/Sadukar09/shot_298.jpg
Which is worse in armoring than Adler one.
i don’t think 240mm front and 210mm side and rear armor are “worse”, not like the 250mm front and 150mm side and rear armored adler
One point that 250mm under angle is better than Mausturm, other point – sides.
But E-100 with Mausturm is Tiger-Maus which has very bad mobility.
yer funny, you didn’t play too much with the e100 are ye? when ye try angle that “good” front armor they just starting to pen the side armor… this is why im crying for the mausturm, in random maybe you can bounce some regular ammo, but in cw? its nothing like just a big weakspot, E 100 with mausturm is an e100 with mausturm, back in mah day there was a test server where they promised us two turret…. but i rather want that “Tiger-Maus” with that bad mobility than this 2 tracked weakspot
You must be a pathetic player then.
I disagree, I love my E100 and that’s if you over angle, you shouldnt expect to bounce td’s too much anyway, anything else should bounce if angled properly.
Id say no.
E-100 turret is better then Maus Turret.
EDIT – Ah, saw the link
Well according to Panzer Tracts 6-3, the E 100 turret based on the Maus II turret is closer to it’s true design than just giving it the Maus turret
“- apparently the removal of E-50M as such, the switch of E-50 to tier 10 and adding the Turbopanther (SS: Panther with a gas turbine) is still planned”
Well shit. *facepalm*
Hear hear
Bleh. I rather like using my E-50 more than the E-50M because the armor and playstyle sees better use. It’s a great, distinctive addition to the gameplay. Trying to close to brawling range with an E-50M is not even a similar experience (you usually don’t want to do it until the game’s half over, and even then…).
Even it’s a E-50(M) it’s still a med. C’mon you shouldnt go braw at the begining of the battle :|
- no plans to allow players to select the voiceover soundset in the game (SS: as in, you wont be able to select specifically German voices in a Japanese tank)
I believe that mod can do it: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/381695-091-easy-crew-voice-selector/
I think it meant that you won’t be able to select the voices separately for each nation, although that mod looks cool.
That mod can do it.
“- some variants of the motion physics were scrapped because they were too realistic – “drifts, etc.””
why would i expecting anything else for a game designed for the lowest denominator of siema tomato retards?.
god forbid you put some realism(aka, FUN) in there.
ofc the siema monkeys will start “MUH TANK IS DRIFTUN, DIS IS WRUNG!”, tards
keep ruining the game more WG, i’m amazed that every time ii read ftr a dev says something completely retarded or condescending(or both) that ruins the game even more
“…realism(aka, FUN)….”
Yeah, right xDDD
“Want drift? Join the WT”. (Did Gaijinbot finally installed gameplay into WT Tonks?)
i’m aleayd playing WT, and with one eye closed it’s far superior in all aspects, in that game tanks feel like tanks, not arcade toy trash
Maybe its far superior in all aspects but one – gameplay.
There is none of it there :D
Okay, second aspect – too few tanks. And they will probably never catch up WoT with diversity.
why would you want MORE TANKS?. and why would you think tank divesity is good?
it makes wot pure shit.
wot has more than twice the number of tanks it needs to have, in fact, the game was far better back when tier 10 was only a single heavy (in fact, when wg broke their no tier10 med promise i started hating the game, it’s all gone downhill from there)
gameplay in WT is much better, has depth, tactics, strategy, combined arms, no charging like a retard like in wot, no dissapearing tanks in direct LOS(until wg implements the new “vision system” IF EVER).
even WT arcade more is better due to the other realistic aspects of the game (i find GF arcade mode to be trash full of tard-friendly overlays, just like wot)
>gameplay in WT is much better, has depth, tactics, strategy, combined arms, no charging like a retard like in wot
Except WOT has all those. Even combined arms. What is the arty/medium/light/heavy tank dynamic? Even the charging in like a retard part is WARRANTED in WT in order to just find targets and make contact with the enemy, while in WOT it’s actually the worst thing to do in many cases, without a good plan.
combined arms is not fake-artillery or same other type of tanks.
it’s having planes+tanks+(ships in future) all in the same map at the same time.
and you’re wrong, GF does not make you charge like a tard, you advance with care taking cover because any bush might just have a tank behind sniping your careless ass off, so it’s not warranted, nor desired at all.
in wot you can just charge blindly, “spot” targets, then you can go invisible, and if you get hit, oh well you’re going to lose some (very realistic) “hit points”.
in GF you do that, and a tank smaller than you oneshots you, period, no invisibility cloak, no stupid hitpoints, just cold, hard truth
Why you play WoT then and post here if you love the WT so much? :D
Obvious troll is obvious.
Another WT silly fanboi
Thanks for the laugh though. Still can’t believe that people still think that WT has no hit-point system simply because it isn’t shown.
1. Lets all drive the same tanks over and over and over again :D
2. WoT has always were going downhill :D According to “experts” and “specialists” :D
3. WT gameplay? Error 404 :D
4. Tactics in WoT? Check. Strategies? Check. Combined arms? Check. You are 48WR probably :D
5. No rushing? xD Come back when you’re sober.
6. There are spotting bugs, saw with my own crooked eyes :D
7. “Want realism? Join the army.”
Anyways, kid, you arguments are really weak and obviously you are in no age yet to understand how games work.
yer too cruel!:D
1. i already did that in wot whee i have thousand and thousand of battles in 3/4 tanks at the most, why should i need more than what i alreayd have in garage?, one of each type of tank is more than enough.
2. according to everyone
3. says you, in fact wt has more gameplay.
4. tactics and atrategies in wot are based on it’s stupid arcade gameplay which forces you to do stupid stuff that wouldn’t work in “real” tank engagements. sadly for you i’m not 48%, i’m 70% WR and as deep purple as they come
5. you rush in wt you die
6. oh i know there are corner cases bugs, specially when a tank has a small portion visible it tends to dissapear, but not in the open
7. now you repeat the retard stupid shit that serb spews?, if you want realism go play WT, that’s the answer
i’m probably older than you, have fun “kid”
if you would be older than Woras or any specific commenter here, you would not have been here, stating that this game is pure bullshit…this is not what an adult, or a mature person does…
you sir, you are nothing more than a raging 20-y-o who thinks that realism is good in a game… no its fookin not a good thing…
go somewhere else and cry.
Lol
So you think that your opinion is everyone’s opinion?
How about trying to ‘explain’ (google it) your argument instead of whining and crying about how WoT isn’t a tank simulator (which aren’t fun FYI).
>why would you want MORE TANKS?
AAAHAHAHA it’s like console peasants shouting “why would you need GRAPHICS?! Xbox doesn’t need 1080p at 60FPS, it has gameplay blablabla”
As far as I can tell, you are a part of the PC master race and should discard such mindsets. Both games are completely different , one suits you, one suits me, but making retarded claims isn’t helping anyone.
Especially when you stop on a rock size of a pea, or when your tank is lunched 5 meters in the air on absolutely flat ground just because reasons, or when your tank hits another and you both start spinning like piece of paper on the wind. So that’s how real tanks behave? I keep coming back to WT from time to time, but they still fail to repair those bugs.
God forbid we have realistic drifting!
god forbid we have realistic: gunnery, physics, movement, damage model, tanks
oh wait, wt has all that :D
Go play WT then, whats the problem?
that i spent an ungodly ammount of time in wot and i want for it to get better, not worse as it’s been getting for years
Problem is your “better” is YOUR better. You keep saying things like WoT going downhill, everyone thinks that or this. Have you made any surveys? Do you have any statistics? If realism is so superior and fun and WT has everything that WoT players miss in their game, why WoT is one of the most played MMOs greatly surpassing WT?
Just leave this site you troll. You’re doing nothing but spreading lies.
“Guillermo Lovato:
- Maus buff confirmed
- Gold ammo will be removed
- Arty will be removed
- Half Life 3 confirmed”
I dont think he spread such lies :D
“god forbid you put some realism(aka, FUN) in there.”
Good thing you aint a game designer dude.
Unless you realize that that is very niche and stick to it (like ARMA for example) then you might do well.
Me likes you.
:) At least someone does :D
So in other words anything that is not how you pictured it in your head is wrong, everything that developers do to appeal to WoT’s main playerbase (aka main source of income for WG and reason the game still exists) is gamebraking… And you claim devs are retarded and condescending? Right…
Ok, I think we are done here.
“WoT’s main playerbase ” –>it’s no secret that playerbase is the worst of the worst arcade noobtard siema monkeys and the devs make no atempt to hide it.
or they wouldn’t make the stupid design decisions they do.
and it’snot how i picture it in my head, it’s about what’s right and what other companies are doing(gaijin)
Other communities are way better: LoL, CoD, etc :D
WG has really no competition still – WT is way too different.
AW…., ,maybe with same mechanics as WoT, but its too early to tell.
indeed, it is very very different, but am so mistaken to want WOT to be like WT?
AW… too early to tell, but looks to be wot “modern combat”, it doesnt appear to be a simulator
and no, other comunities are terribly shitty as hell, lol is toxic, cod is full of tards
Lets hope mentality doesnt screw them up.
WG is belorussian and Gaijin is russian – lets see how it works out.
AW – They will probably go for the one which is more relaxing. Or they do both modes :D
AW if they just go for arcade with good physic it would be fun :D
cause mordern era tonks a fast fast :D
Want WoT to be like WT? Play WT, no point arguing about it here mate.
And did you just contradict yourself by saying other communities are worse than WoTs?
Calling the main player base (which is clans) noobs is unwarranted, troll.
main playerbase are not clans, tard
Actually realistic would not be fun:
Tracks broke..so sorry game over for you (try repairing tracks in 15 mins under battle conditions)
That 4 skill crew member just died…so sorry time for a new rookie crew member.
Tank just caught fire…so sorry game over.
get the picture? how’s that ‘realism’ working for you?
Say that’s a nice Panther you got there… be a shame if it were to *insert evil grin* break down and leave you a sitting duck >:D
Not to mention they still don’t have solid tank barrels.
I can imagine how much fun realism would be… yep, such fun
- no plans to buff or nerf T110E5
Why do people keep asking this its one of the most balanced tanks in the game.
They forgot to ask for the KV-5 and Super Pershing buffs this time
dammiiiiit Serb after so long would have a perfect answer as always :D they disapointed me :P
- the exact formula of credit gain calculations will not be disclosed
We could easily figure this out, who are they kidding…
- other accuracy nerf variants than reducing the chance of the shell to fall towards the center of the circle were considered
RNG checks should be made as the shell travels. Having 1 check is absurd, the further the shell travels the less accurate and more subject to RNG, not 1 check. Tanks with poor accuracy should be fine up close but very improbable to hit at longer ranges (KV-2 derp).
Should i unlock the fv 215b 120 or i should wait untill chieftain?
Its a good tank its definitely worth your time if you buy the FV you will just get the replacement for free when the FV is replaced.
And if you havent unlocked 215b yet – after replacement – you will be able to unlock Chieftain.
- Storm on Chieftain: “Chieftain will not be a medium tank because it goes to the heavy slot. For tier 10 heavy slot there are simply no other options. If there were any, it’s possible we would consider Chieftain for tier 10 medium slot.”
Buff the Conqueror to make it tier 10 worthy?
Sub in a lower tier heavy option somewhere and bump everything up… you pulled the same thing when the Bat Chat went to tier 10.
So you want:
Tier 8: Black Prince
Tier 9: Caernarvon
Tier 10: Conqueror
Lolwut.
Chieftain deserves to be tier 10 heavy.
No he has the right idea. Chieftain was a MBT, same as Centurion, and it should be in the Centurion (medium) line not the Heavy one.
It would make more sense to buff the Conqueror to tier 10 levels and introduce a new tier 9 Heavy.
Although the Chieftain was an MBT in reality it’s more of a heavy in WoT terms. It’s got a 120mm gun, very good armour when hull down and low speed compared to other in game MBT’s. It’s nothing like a Leopard or STB-1 which are the other MBT’s we have in game. I can’t imagine it playing much different to the Conqeuror except it will probably have a better turret.
As if that caliber matters…. take a good long look at the Chinese tier 10 medium for caliber comparison ;)
As other’s have said though… finding a new tier 8 or 9 makes the most sense and moving the Conqueror up to 10 shouldn’t be difficult… more frontal armor than the Chieftain, same gun, so it already fits the profile.
It doesn’t have more frontal armour, especially on the turret, and the Chieftains gun was much better than the Conquerors…
The Conqueror at tier 10 is a bad idea. It’s barely a heavy with the armor it has now.
Can’t wait for tier 10 heavy Chieftain.
To add onto that, there’s a big issue when the tier 10 medium has better armor and a better gun than the tier 10 heavy.
Chieftains were very slow people :|
It was the biggest problem of the tank :|
>the switch of E-50 to tier 10
They are mentally sick – all I can say. E 50 is definitely tier 8 material, this tank is half made-up even right now.
E-50 as it is now – tier 8 material?
Guys, we have another game designer here :D
you know in the old tech tree it was a t8 heavy :)
Armors matter. Probably was way less than it is now.
yup if i remember there was the 120/120 front , and 60 side and rear armor
Maybe I was not clear enough. Now E 50 has made-up turret and gun. Also its armor is way too thick for a medium of its time – heavy tanks of 1945 had comparable armor; at the same the planned mass of E 50 hull is exactly known from historical sources.
But with historical and more realistic parameters E 50 fits tier 8 perfectly.
Tiger 2 chassis with a Panther turret and 105mm gun that exists is half made up? The blueprints exist. There are even people who made the tank based on the Tiger II chassis they picked up.
>Tiger 2 chassis
Do you really believe that a tank planned in 1945 to replace Panther would have a 150/80/80 mm hull armor? Also check this: http://i.imgur.com/MTFy7Jj.jpg
>a Panther turret
With rear overhang and 185/80/80 mm armor? I remember Schamlturm to be slightly different.
>105mm gun that exists
And what a gun it is? I’m really curios. SerB had posted this before E 50 was introduced:
http://i.imgur.com/1m7f9xF.jpg
You may say: «It’s a 10,5 cm K 18 L/52!». But no, E 50′s gun is not K 18: just compare its gun with Dicker Max’s one – nothing common, neither in characteristics nor in appearance.
Besides, K 18 just couldn’t fit into the Schmalturm due to the not wide enough turret ring.
>The blueprints exist
Yeap. Made by SerB’s Design Bureau. I’m not kidding – that turret is personal SerB’s «invention» IRC.
130mm-150mm upper plate would need a 1k HP engine at least otherwise guess what, its a KT.
To be a true medium it was to heavy IMO. Panther was already Pushing it.
“Q: What will happen to FV215b (120)? A (SerB): “One option is to make the 120mm gun an optional gun for FV215b (183)”
Mmmm yes please.
“another is to remove it completely”
Another option is to remove YOU (SerB) completely.
Yes, let’s remove a major figure inside the company, I’m sure that will have no ill effects.
I would be quite excited to see the FV215b (120) as a tier10 TD on its own. With the introduction of the Firefly hybrid line, she could be the end of that branch. A turreted TD with rapid firing accurate gun (lets keep the 1.7 aim time as well *-*) .
I’d definitely start grinding that line for her
>Wanting to grind out a new line for a gun already in the game.
Also last I saw the Conway would be the t10 of a second British TD line.
Yesterday post:
- there will be a gift tank for Wargaming anniversary in August
So a tank for the anniversary and one for the gamescom?
And you talked about a tank as a mission reward.. Third one for free? :)
I have no idea about where to ask questions to devs.. Otherwise i’d ask if they’re going to give preferential MM to Ram II.
Gun is a bit weak against IS..
Doubt there will be a free tank for gamescom. One low tier for anniversary, one low tier at Christmas time and possibly a mission for a low tier later in this year. I would guess it’s going to be the Japanese low tier lights as gift tanks and maybe a mission to get the Grostraktor thing.
One year, they won a Gamescom Award and gave us T7 combat car.. (or was it another one?)
(please.. not an impossible hardcore gamer mission to get Gross.. Some people have a life and want that tank)
- Chieftain will apparently not have “195mm turret”, WG has the info about Chieftain prototypes – there is no such turret in there, apparently according to WG sources, maximum thickness of Chieftain turret armor is 150mm (Storm adds that the sources (such as Wikipedia) are incorrect, WG has its own armor thickness sources – people who measured the tank in museum)
_____________________
No one is ever correct except WG and their supreme soviet archives :D In soviet Belarusia, WG decides what’s right and what’s wrong. They are bragging all the time how they measure tanks and yet every fucking patch they tweak tank models all the time or every now and then some tank is not the right size and they need to “fix” it. They are just hilarious :D
Because there is not only one model of a tank in the world and they usually differ (by centimeters sometimes) in armor
I think they measured the CHieftan turret at Bovington
Xulcine said it was way thinner than expected
I’m not denying that they are actually doing that, but still they make shit ton of mistakes and are fixing the goddamn models every patch. And yet, they still act like they actually made blueprints for every single tank in the world that ever existed. What’s that, Wikipedia? Nah, our source is right. I’m not saying Wiki should be taken as 100% correct source, but stop bullshiting people that your game developing skills are flawless, while you actually suck major balls at it.
So are we getting a Cheiftain or not?
They’ve been talking about replacing the tier 10 Brits for almost 2 years and its still not happened. Maybe in another 2 years is when you’ll get your answer ;p
Removing E-50M and replacing with E-50…
Removing one of the only German tanks that does not spontaneously combust when hit in lower front plate with one that does. Makes perfect sense.
Hey Silent, can you ask them if they will finally buff the so-called-gift to beta testers – M4A2E4 ?
It was a good tank with some armor, crappy gun and sweet depression. And it was all “good” cus of that dep.
After all those nerfs it still has crappy gun, not so good armor and the depression…sweet jesus, why, going into hulldown and showing only ur turret to enemy was the only way for this tank to be usefull…and now u cant even do that properly bcus dep simply sucks balls
Seriously, its like they realized that they gave away a decent tier 5 tank and decided to nerf it to shit…with that gun it was not and still is not able to fight equally with any other t5 medium…not to mention the heavies
“- Q: What will happen to FV215b (120)? A (SerB): “One option is to make the 120mm gun an optional gun for FV215b (183), another is to remove it completely. Also, Chieftain is not 100 percent sure.””
That’s actually a pretty neat idea. A lower caliber faster-firing gun would make it more like its predecessors.
Sure, you would lose the ridiculous 300-someodd mm of penetration, but it’s not as if the 259mm of pen on the L1A1 is particularly bad, especially with TD-buffed accuracy/aimtime/RoF added in.
“- no plans to allow players to select the voiceover soundset in the game (SS: as in, you wont be able to select specifically German voices in a Japanese tank)”
Sure is hard to add a few drop-down menus to the options UI and link them to appropriate variables, eh?
“- there are plans to introduce Valiant and its variants”
114mm of armor and an OQF 6pdr (well, probably the 75mm instead for the lower penetration established ingame), in a tank roughly the size of a Valentine? It could make a hilariously trollish tier 5 premium. Everything *but* the armor would probably end up overnerfed, to reflect how horribly cramped the tank was, but it could still be fun.
The Heavy Valiant would also be amusing, 228mm of hull armor and 254mm of turret armor according to Wikipedia, armed with a 95mm derp. No idea where it would fit though, small-caliber derps are kind of crap after tier 6 aside from on very fast tanks that can flank and smack engine compartments…and 228mm of frontal armor at tier 6 would be insane.
at2 winks from tier 5 with 203mm
Ehh, the AT-2 is a special case, though. Sure, it has 203mm of main armor, but it has a LOT less in places that kind of matter (cupola, side armor behind the drivewheels, gun mantlet). It’s a big, thick casemate on tracks that lives or dies based on enemies not knowing where to shoot it/having too inaccurate of guns to shoot it effectively. The cupola especially practically screams “SHOOT ME” when the tank is hull-down.
On the other hand, a small turreted tank with no readily-apparent weak spots potentially could give even people who know what they’re doing trouble. I’m quite interested in seeing what kind of armor profile it has.
Why Serb and Storm cant add non fake turret for E100, like mause one, player could choose with one he like, WG could balance those two turrets, but NO……..Tank could be OP, yea right….
Here’s another retard. In 1944, the Germans ditched the Maus turret for the one in the game.
Bite u tongue.
E100 should have mause turret , if u remember well, when E100 was in test server there were 2 turrets, for E100. I dont see any problem to add Mause turret, and give Mause turret, a new one, better. u can find it in net, but u need to use brain. Don’t insult people “boyo”
What’s your problem seriously Daigensui ?If anyone here is a retard it’s you and your uncle SerB .
I happen to actually know her (we used to be in the same clan) and I can pretty much say the reason she called that person a retard is because the abandonment of the Maus turret before the E-100 chassis was built is actually something she’s had to explain.
Repeatedly.
That and Ares354 up there isn’t exactly helping matters, plus she’s become something of the “punching bag” due to constantly trying to clear things up and then people getting angry at her for not delivering news they wanted to here or something.
Ok, but that E-100 turret stuff is not common knowledge. I’ve been on FTR for the longest time and I’ve never known about the history of that Maus turret on the E-100. Does that make me retarded? The random insults are very unnecessary.
“- apparently the removal of E-50M as such, the switch of E-50 to tier 10 and adding the Turbopanther (SS: Panther with a gas turbine) is still planned”
Well finally, this thing is so weak it’s beyond redemption, might as well replace it with something better asap.
Serb is such an asshole I can’t say I missed him. It seems he is incapable of answering questions without being an ass I’m glad storm has mostly taken over.
Retards like you are why he’s an ass.
And you know everything about me right? That’s why you can insult me. Serb earned to be called asshole and Hey at least I don’t have the mental age and petty vindictiveness of a 12 year old like your buddy SerB. If anyone Is a Racist immature retard it’s SerB.
SerB = Ass
You = Smartass
Simple and true.
ALL HAIL DAIGENSUI-SAMA AND HER ULTIMATE BURNER MOVES.
DO NOT REMOVE E-50M WG ASSHOLES!!! WHY? WHY WOULD YOU REMOVE IT?
Because alternative hulls would allow them to compress the E 50s into a single vehicle
all i hear is E-50M Nerf!! IS IT REALLY NEEDED TO NERF THIS TANK?!?!?!
Lol such lies about Warpack.
It doesnt send anythin back and isnt a program. 99% of cheats are PYC files….I love how they try to make it sound so advanced aso they can explain its not a issue and if it is an issue its so hard to find it would ruin our gameplay to find it.
If they looked at Python logs 99% of cheats would end.
Also ias this the thin CHieftan that Xulcine measured?
I really want to play that TurboPanther but I don’t wanna give up my beloved tier 9 hevium… it’s so based. So what’s the TurboPanther – a P2 with a turbine engine and a shitton of power to weight ratio? Would like to see it as a alternative hull for the p2 but that would mean fun.. and we can’t have that.
“- no plans to allow players to select the voiceover soundset in the game (SS: as in, you wont be able to select specifically German voices in a Japanese tank)”
Wouldn’t that be possible by just renaming crew files and setting to national?
Hmmm, what about just giving GT engine to AFK panther? So we can have little fun with this giant POS LIGHT tank
there’re 2 phrases of my Reply you idiot. Dont you dare mix them up. And if you just want simple fun lịke that, go play tier 1, it’s very fun friendly. In high tier battles, it’s takes brains, skills, tactics, and pains to win.
Keep saying about get rid of arty out of the game, I wont happen! Even it will, sooner or later a buch of guys like you will bring up the TDs problem ”OMG no skill TDs hide in bush with big gun when other tanks do the heavy duty… So noob! TDs are broken big gun high pen OMG OMG”. And when after TDs were removed ”OMG OMG HTs drivers noob no skill go strait to the enemy base and shootind and killing meds and LTs it’s like 17 century battles all over again just form a line then match!”
Again I wont sorry for my bad Eng
Just ignore this post =.=
no drifts? but i really wanna 180-backward shoot…will be a handy trick for those E-25 and ELC being chased for their dear life. if you dont get what i mean, watch the new GuP OVA, the one VS Anzio.
ps: dis comment flood O_o
