1.8.2014

Hello everyone,

as you probably know, one of the largest game expo’s, Gamescom, is starting soon. One of our readers was invited to the WG party afterwards, where he will have the option of asking developer(s) some questions. He asked me to publish that you can send him the questions at his e-mail and he will try to have them answered. The e-mail is nomo2010@hotmail.de

- Storm states that it’s pointless to look closely the T-34-85M (leaked tier 6) characteristics, it’s from first round of supertesting, there will be two or three more rounds when the characteristics change and the parameters change even after tests
- it’s possible that the T-34-85M armor is more or less final according to Storm, there could still be some bugs in it though
- Evilly admits that they fucked up the anniversary hangar, it should be fixed and returned soon (SS: haven’t checked, is it back yet?)
- regarding the earlier tier 5 KV-1S leak – the HD model for KV-1S is not ready and so the model that was leaked was the old one, modified to carry only the historical guns.
- new fun-mode (like the soccer was) will come this year
- in the current version of observer mode, it’s pointless to follow artillery, since you won’t see where it is aiming

    YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Tank destroyers are S-TDs. There the arty you cant kill while artys you shoot em anywhere they die. so yes id rather deal with an arty in general then a td.. why? RNG gods say where the shot gos and easy to dodge and if it hits you and you libe you can destroy it before another 45 seconds is needed. tds on the other hand you try ti get around em you cant because there too fast. too armored, too fast of a reload. and a gun that over matches an arty gun litterly! so You are the new scumbags as arty was made to deal with you fag tard tds! T95 is the only td i have no problems with. as its a true TD. and thats how ALL tds should be.

        • Arty was never made to counter campers in this game. It was just a poor excuse for WG to justify arty’s existence in the game after people started complaining about it. And you are fucking dumb if you think arty prevents camping. It doesn’t. 183 or waffle faggot will still camp beyond the max possible view range shooting down everyone while they won’t be spotted and be able to get shot by cancers. On the other hand aggressive medium that is trying to win the game will be first target skycancer monkeys will shoot at. Yea, totally preventing TDs from camping. Fucking idiot.

            • I know its cute and yes arty prevents camping. ive seen less campers in the arty days. then in the td days. in td days you moving you dieing. then the camping days started with tds. Back in arty days the scout would distract the artys and people moved in to take advantage of it.

              Artydays lasted 5-6 mins a game.. TD days last well 6-12 mins. so yes tds enforce camping

              • Ehh he’s just buttsore from some good arty player popping him on the move or went all TD mode on his @$$. And yes I agree scouting is rather difficult now with the map changes and the invisible tds are still a major threat

                • No, because arty ruins the fucking point of hightier heavies like the Maus or IS-4. Yes, I love to be smacked for 800 damage because I pushed a corner, except instead of just taking that hit, I also lose modules and crew.

                  Of course, tier 10 td’s aren’t much better, but I can typically do my share of damage to them.

                • no it dont ruin anything at all. the point of arty is to prevent pushing on a strong flank that lacks defenders. so artys doing its job and you would rather be smacked by an arty for 800 or a td with lazer accercy and carrys a bigger bigger gun. and can use gold rounds like hesh like the 183 derping a is7? mause ammo rack? or even an e100s engine? your an idiot to complain about arty. nerfing arty lead to tds and there 3x more dangerous. and you know it. a foch 155 ose more damage then an arty. 3 shells 600 each shot vs an arty with 1 shell and has to pry for it to hit you. yeah id still rather fight an arty over a td any day.

                • I’d rather fight neither, since both encourage wide scale campfests. Don’t force your own shitty view of how SPG’s are better to fight than td’s. Both are a nuisance, and your idiocy won’t change that. Also, if a flank lacks defenders, than as such that should serve as a consequence for the team that decided not to defend that flank. I would rather be shot at by td’s than SPG’s because at least then I have a chance of bouncing. SPG’s take out crew members, modules, and usually a large portion of health.

                • Usually I can just farm damage off td’s anyways, it’s always satisfying to smack them when they think that they are safe.

            • He has a point. On the other hand your comment is irrelevant, retarded and pointless.

              • If you are speaking to me, then you are the one making an irrelevant, retarded, and pointless reply.

  2. - Evilly admits that they fucked up the anniversary hangar, it should be fixed and returned soon

    Rushed WG, dont you? Haha~

    Anyway hope to ask questions about PvE.

  3. - in the current version of observer mode, it’s pointless to follow artillery, since you won’t see where it is aiming

    Unless you are following an FV304 or SU-5. :P

  4. - Storm states that it’s pointless to look closely the T-34-85M (leaked tier 6) characteristics, it’s from first round of supertesting, there will be two or three more rounds when the characteristics change and the parameters change even after tests

    - it’s possible that the T-34-85M armor is more or less final according to Storm, there could still be some bugs in it though

    Ummm make up your mind Storm

    • Armor is just one of many parameters defining a vehicle. It mostly corresponds with the visual model and is represented by the collision model which is used for penetration calculations. I do not see any contradiction here; he basically said one given part of the tank is mostly final.

    • I played over 100 non-platooned matches, it was a great diversion.
      Not everything has to be for every player.
      For your reply, you should pick whichever you don’t do of TC, CW, Stronghold, and complain about that too.

      • Everything is annoying if you suck at it. I had no problems getting that GLD or whatever was the reward for 50 wins at Football mode, and had lots of fun while doing it.

  5. I definetely love the Te-Ke. :)
    Fabulous camo, decent gun (for support) and he’s not easily farmed by T18 and H35 like the previous ones. ;)

  6. - Evilly admits that they fucked up the anniversary hangar, it should be fixed and returned soon (SS: haven’t checked, is it back yet?)

    The hangar is back and guess what… the bugs are still there :)))

  7. “- Evilly admits that they fucked up the anniversary hangar, it should be fixed and returned soon (SS: haven’t checked, is it back yet?)”

    AAAAahahahahahaha… it is back now and the bomber is still clipping through the tank and the whole garage xD Working as intended…

    Btw.: Did you guys notice the jeep? Also clipping through the whole garage, then the E3, then the WG building and at last through the outer wall xDD

  8. Funny. Anniversary hangar is back and somehow it overwrites my “Black garage” mod.
