First, to all American readers: Happy Independence Day!
Anyway, before the 8.7 gets downloaded on my comp (if I manage to log in, I’ll post pictures/stats of all the new vehicles), a quick Q&A session:
- in 8.7, the gun accuracy will be the same as in 8.6
- 112 was removed from patch 8.7, because it needs further balancing
- since 0.8.6, the Fjords map winrate of both bases was 50 percent (no disbalance)
- there were rumors that the new Soviet branch will bring a Maus-style Soviet heavy tank (SS: no idea where the Russians got this from), those rumors are false
- the three most important factors for WoT’s rating system are winrate, average XP per battle and average kills per battle
- the IS-6 ingame has mechanical transmission. A player stated that the mechtrans IS-6 had historical maximum speed of 43km/h instead of current 35 km/h, SerB will investigate
- 8.8 patch tier 10 Object 430 will not have the 122mm gun (Object 430U)
- other premium vehicles in the past were not possible to sell for gold, because they were never changed seriously enough
- when counting cover, two fallen trees count as one (their camo bonuses don’t stack), but two bushes in one line do stack – however, one bush and one fallen tree don’t stack
- the VK100.01 is a real project, based on one German book, allegedly, Yuri Pasholok was one of the first people to get that book in the former USSR
- regarding the Panther changes: “Expect a small buff to tiers 7,8 and 9 of that branch”
- WoT won’t have for example completely destructible all objects, there would be a problem with server synchronisation and load
- in order to pay for itself (without no profit), WoT has to have at least 50 thousand players around the world
- during the hull unification, T-34 and T-34/85 apparently won’t be unified, T-34/85 and Type 58 will both stay on tier 6
- the reason various trees of various nations don’t have the same tech order (for example one tree has arty branch on the top, while another on the bottom) is to make transitions between branches better visible
- both 112 and 113 have 68 degrees frontal armor slope
- apparently, WoT Generals account will also be unified with WoT
- regarding the Panther changes: “Expect a small buff to tiers 7,8 and 9 of that branch”
I’m starting to think that aside from historical accuracy (buffing engines), we’re moving towards differentiation between the two German medium lines with MAN going for firepower and Daimler-Benz being mobility oriented.
“- the three most important factors for WoT’s rating system are winrate, average XP per battle and average kills per battle”
and what is with average damage? IMHO this is the most important factor.
Average XP yes the others no. Damage and hit rate are far more important in rating someone in WoT’s
hit rate? wtf? just cos you wait for a clear shot for 1 min while i destroy several covers of the enemy exposing them to my and friendly fire thus making my “hit rate” like crap yet doing more for a victory….
What about scouts and spotting for your team?
Agreed. Damage done in battle is severely underrated.
What if I told you…
Damage dealt is directly related to your exp income.
i think the most Clans will still use the wn7 Rating and eff the official wot Rating is just bs where are average damage and defense Points… and winrate can be pushed so easily thats one of the worst Ratings ever
Apart from WR other stats are bull shit.
Average exp…wtf, they forgot the premium account?.
Average kills?…You must have uber-skills to kill-steal few enemies each match.
They should aim first on average damage raported to average tier, than WR and than they should add spotting damage/detrack damage as a stat and count on it.
Other are bull-shit and easy to pad.
Those I listed above can’t be padded without affecting all other stats.
- apparently, WoT Generals account will also be unified with WoT.
Russian bias has alpha test there. I want european one :D
Whats WoT Generals?
As I understood – some web based card game.
Me too
“- 112 was removed from patch 8.7, because it needs further balancing”
damn it. first tier8 premium tank from in-game store which will worth its price (around 12k gold)…
balancing?? nerfing the goldammo & mobility
112 removed
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- the IS-6 ingame has mechanical transmission. A player stated that the mechtrans IS-6 had historical maximum speed of 43km/h instead of current 35 km/h, SerB will investigate
I have a source on this (not sure on its reliability) but anyway: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-vetscor/1436653/posts
“There was also a tank developed and produced with a mechanical transmission such as on the IS-3. This tank received the “Object 252″ designation. The chassis of “Object 252″ consisted of big road wheels only (without support wheels). Later, Soviet designers chose the electro-mechanical transmission. The maximum speed of the 51.5-ton tank was 43 km/h.”
ah man i wanted the 112 only prem i was gonna pay for
no 112?
8.7 is a boring patch
crappy british arty seriously whos gonna drive that crap with the arty nerfs
Boring indeed: moar useless crappy arty.
I will. Like a Boss.
NEMO.
As will I.
And I’ll hunt them…Even if I have Master Tanker Unlocked I want it to be clean.
No 112? I was waiting for it since the first leaks appeared
8.7 worst patch world
“8.7 worst patch world”
- patches now have worlds.
Une autre monde est possible. :P
i mean world patch in the world :P
its a common sentence used by league of legends players
“i mean world patch in the world”
Finally an update to world :D
worst*… :<
Now you got it :D
- the three most important factors for WoT’s rating system are winrate, average XP per battle and average kills per battle
And what about avg EXP for non-premium and premium players? I would for sure had bigger avg exp if i played with premium all my battles, instead of mixed combination
Would be pretty damn weird if it counted the prem bonus into that you know… doesn’t count daily doubles or event boni either.
“- when counting cover, two fallen trees count as one (their camo bonuses don’t stack), but two bushes in one line do stack – however, one bush and one fallen tree don’t stack”
Cover from fallen trees doesn’t stack – got it.
Cover from bushes does stack – got it.
One bush and 1 fallen tree doesn’t stack – so tank, bush, tree…tree counts? or bush counts….idk.
This thing doesnt make any sense logic wise. They both should stack or non.
“- 112 was removed from patch 8.7, because it needs further balancing”
Looks like I have no reason to play this game for another few months…
hm… as more as I read about it as more Im not a friend of this hull-unification-thing.
“ther premium vehicles in the past were not possible to sell for gold, because they were never changed seriously enough”
Tell this to my type….
