Server-side vehicle “swaying” ?
This (along with new motion) really has the potential to totally fuck WoT up. The easy, mass-market friendly, motion controls are one of the strongest aspects of WoT’s appeal. I hope they don’t get it wrong.
#sway
Its WoT #swag :D

Scarface spinoff – Nerfface, starring Sergei Burkatovskii.

Le sway!
The moment you apply brakes, or otherwise stop the tank, the front of the hull will go down and the ass will go up in the air. If an enemy would happen to aim for your front sprocket while you’re stopping, he might shoot over it.
Would it work with server aiming too? Like if you aim forward and as low as you can you could be able to utilise the “front down, ass up” while breaking to aim even lower, enabling you to make tricky shots?
Could be interesting.
This can alreaddy be done to some extent because the tank do have suspensions as it is, if im not wrong. I have tested accelerating and braking on my tiger II and panther II and they rock back and fort a bit. Test yourself and you will see. So what will the actual change be?
The fact is that the vehicles are currently swaying only client-side, which means that only you see the tank swaying and it currently has no effect on gun depression/elevation.
Yes, they already said in one Q&A, that it will be possible to do that.
And, as Ferdinand Porsche mentioned, it’s possible even now. Have done it few times, it helped.

Laaaaaaazyyyyyyyyyy
“- the two new modes mentioned by Storm to be implemented into the game are neither the PVE historical battles, nor the national battles”
Yeah, it will be the basket ball LTTB league mode and the golf GWtiger championship mode.
Not gonna lie, arty golf kinda sounds like fun.

And I would be a happy player.

There is no such thing as happy player
I’m Happy! And BiPolar! I’ll Eat your children!!! RAWR!
>> – render change from rectangle to circle will not come this year
Just great… Because their servers would burn from extra load…
Remove this restriction completely! Give us unlimited render distance!
Shoot pixels then?
Yep, totally. You know, max zoom mod i’ve heard of is 60x :P .
And, going more serious: this would be a good counter to map canyoning, a little buff to sniper tanks. Not a big one, though, as you still need luck for the same accuracy.
Zoom mod is crap. Reticle big as 120cm screen and target is 3px. WOW SO GAMEPLAY VERI PRECISE
I tried various zoom ratios, customized config myself and tested. Everything above 16x is a distraction for me and impairs my gameplay instead of helping.
However, 16x is helpful and gives mi an advantage. I suggest you try it yourself, i deem it optimal max zoom ratio.
PS: adding unitary 1x zoom ratio is invaluable as your circle doesn’t snap to random terrain features and you have proper perspective and distance in close combat.
I tried 4 step zoom – dont know how much it amplifies but it was so damn crappy.
Don’t use it then. And let me shoot at my pixel tonks ;) with my zoom.
This mod lets you configure multiple stages: http://forum.worldoftanks.ru/index.php?/topic/644719-
There are some issues with 9.3 though.
Pretty sure Jove modpack has that or even the same mod :D
Just edit ratios then ;) .
It distorts my (and most of us) sense of distance for moving targets.
i’m not going to talk you into this ;) but vanilla steps are 2x, 4x, 8x – 16x is proportional (and 1x is too).
Of course, everything needs getting used to.
now that you mention it, i remember how much i miss national battles :(
Suckination mode. Good mode good – so good it was removed.
Because 11x T18 versus german tier 2 tanks is “balanced”
We all know WG cant balance for crap.
Tier 6 was balanced so good – only OP tanks were nerfed (they missed Cromwell somehow – which is borderline OP).
Doesnt need to buff UP ones.
They just needed to introduce what I like to call ‘Battle Rating”, or “BR” for short, alongside Tier Position. That idea is original and will cost ya…
so they will have to pay warthunder to use it?
“- render change from rectangle to circle will not come this year”
It’s not like they promised this over 1 year now…
Anyhow, it wouldn’t matter that much thanks to the GLORIOUS map design, ensuring that you don’t need to drive more than 50m to meet the enemy!
But it does! The drawbox, along with the spotting system, are on top of my list of “What’s fucked up in WoT”.
- the server-side vehicle “swaying” (rocking) will come along with new motion physics
Oh, great, more bullshit shots hitting everything but the enemy thanks to the server lag?
Enemy bird is destroyed!
i don´t really understand what is so hard about changing the mathematic formula in the script from square to circle. Probably they are still figuring out how to calculate the radius so the actual coverage area of spotting stays the same.
Literally, their servers would smoke from additional loads. Currently there are two simple compare value checks plus one condition, whereas with circle it would be like additional spotting check every time – and we already know that they are main computations now and stress servers most.
Lemme explain: Server.Load.
It’s going to really change some maps, so there will need to be rebalancing. E.g. Karelia who ever wins the donut can snipe the other side with impunity. With the proposed circles this will be out of range (this isn’t a balance issue – though it could be on Assault mode).
It will affect all maps to varying degrees and completely change the balance on some.
Indeed.
Next wave of map rebalance incoming.
World of Corrido-….Sphere view :D
I would love if they made a circle with at least 700m radius, giving us the longest rendering distance, but in every direction. Yes, yes, I know, server load, loads of smoke, end of the world.
On a bright side, if their servers would manage to cope with it I guess maps wouldn’t need to be changed as much as when they give us … was it 500m? … circle.
Sway? So ..like WarThunder where a stationary tank has the advantage because a moving one has to settle first…..oh goody.
But WT doesn’t have aimtime. If this sway thing affects aimtime(it should, the tank is still technically moving) then that means that instead of just aimtime we should wait for aimtime and the tank to settle…Even better.
What might they take next, permanently destroyable guns? That ought to be a community favourite. #StronkIdeasOnly
Gun barrel damage, repair time 40 minutes FTW!
6 seconds for me.
But yes, it’s still annoying.
If you have dynamic camera, then the tank swaying shouldnt hurt the aimtime. Because even now if you turn off dynamic camera you need to wait untill the vehicle is stationary to aim. The tank as it is now still rocks back and forth when braking and accelerating, just not as much.
so this is what’s “dynamic camera” is about :D
They really should add more tooltips into settings…
btw, is there a way to actually “move camera ”
You know just like its in the garage.. during battle, it somehow flies high over the tank, not behind it…
Is there a way to move it lower ? any mod or settings in xml ?
The swaying alreaddy exist as it is. Turn off dynamic camera and you will have to wait 1-2 seconds after you stop the vehicle to aim, because the crosshair will move up and down as the hull sways. Dynamic camera fix the crosshair aiming to where you point it, no matter if the hull sways or not, but the dispersion will be affected though.
So yeah if the tank sways more with the new physics, expect the dispersion to be affected more, which isnt good. Unless they will rebalance all vehicles, wich I remember they said they would when new motion physics come.
Making the dispersion take a hit, just because the tanks now sway more is a aim time nerf really. Stiffer suspension on tanks makes dispersion penalty while moving hull smaller (as it is now).
“- render change from rectangle to circle will not come this year”
Wargaming will finally invent circles!
(sorry, i couldnt resist)
:^)
- render change from rectangle to circle will not come this year
FUCKING HELL. The biggest gameplay changer aside from redoing spotting mechanics and they’re backburning it. Fuck this WoT.. it was fine when it came out, but it’s getting dated really fast, no matter how much ‘HD’ing they’re doing.
