[Infos] Prochaines màj, dernières révélations et fausses rumeurs

Pour le Sturmtiger Wiki parle d'enormes projectiles autopropulsés par fusées mesuraient 149 cm de long et pesaient 330 kg. ..:O

[Babz]

Ah bon, avec un canon de 380mm c'est un lance roquette ?
Tu peut expliquer s'te plait ?

note les guillemets. Au fait c'est plus un gros mortier qu'autre chose.
Et il tire des roquettes, oui, surement pour une question de poids du projectile (mais je ne suis sur à 100% là-dessus).

Bon la précision ne serait pas très important vue la taille du splash et le temps de reload laissera le temps de prendre sont petit goûter ou un verre de coca pépère.

Avec 150 mm de blindage partout en frontal et un armement secondaire comprenant un lance-grenades de 100mm (plutôt anti-personnel par-contre), t'inquiète qu'il savait ce défendre pendant le reload.

À noter que pour le bas de caisse, les valeurs correspondent avec et sans la plaque de blindage supplémentaire.

Ca c'est du bas de caisse magique ! comme le E-75 :(

La poussé des réacteurs est bien exprimé en tonne, alors ça me semble utilisable, même si il s'agit peut être d'un abus de langage je te le concède.

Pour des réacteurs, c'est un abus de langage mais ça va, vu que c'est une puissance, on peut s'y retrouver. Là c'est une énergie à dissiper.

9.1.2013

- SerB states that players with low winrate and high amount of battles played aren't necesserily bots or afkers, "some of them simply play bad"
- SerB notes that (related to the mobility of the Type 59), it wasn't generally changed
- Q: "Is there an automatic system tracking illegal mods?" A: "No comment"
- 2D hitskins are allowed, because "a normal player knows where to shoot and they won't help a noob anyway"
- SerB states that the amount of platoons overall has increased (SS: not sure if he's being ironic or not)
- the arty hardcap will "most likely" be removed after 0.8.3 (SS: SerB doesn't however say WHEN after 0.8.3, previously the removal of the hardcap was mentioned in connection with the tier 10 arty implementation) - SerB further states: "It's going to be removed after the battle balances are returned to normal"
- SerB has candidates for high tier multiturret vehicles
- the weight of the E-50 turret was calculated according to the data from Jentz and Doyle
- the combined optics equipment works always, not only when the vehicle is moving
- the amount of arty won't be capped in companies and clanwars
- free camera in post-mortem mode is not planned
- garage battles won't have special bigger maps
- historical battles won't have special "historical" maps available only for that mode
- no questions about the ingame complaint system will be answered, as devs don't want players to develop algorhytms to circumvent it
- the devs have the idea that the maps might appear in different seasonal versions (for example summer and winter Lakesville with a frozen lake etc.) - doesn't have a high priority
- an introduction of a branch of vehicles almost always influences the winrate of other tanks a little, but not much
- it's not planned to introduce an option where you can't shoot your teammates (SS: like a firing block)
- it's not planned to introduce hangar options (upgrades) that reduce the repair costs of a vehicle
- the time gap between the base capture and transition to hangar does not depend on the serverload, according to the devs this gap is not a good thing
- the most used camo is the summer one, as the summer maps are the most numerous
- when shooting the mantlet of the gun, most of the "non-penetration" hits are caused by hitting the barrel. Mantlets are penetrated - correctly according to the game mechanics - most of the time
- the rumor that the contract for the game is written for 5 years and then the development will stop is false (there was a rather funny string of questions, ending with SerB going into full ragemode: "there has to be a brain in the head - without it the thinking doesn't work and (from that) comes the spamming, whine and crap")
- Q: "Will KV-5 get a new gun?" A: "Will you bring up here all the retarded rumors, or only half of them?"
- there are various reasons for (for example) the D-25 gun not penetrating the T49 mantlet - impact under high angle, hitting the gun itself etc.
- fun fact: tracks can absorb (the way SerB calculated it) up to 18 thousand HP per battle
- according to devs, antialiasing works normal atm
- there might be a better render of metal glints and reflections "if needed/possible"
- it's possible "camouflage by vehicles" will be added (SS: guess - special camos for each vehicle? not sure what SerB means by that)
- currently, the arty view size (scale) does not correspond to the scale shown on the minimap, will be fixed
- complete list of 0.8.3 changes - when the patch goes out
- the French have enough vehicles for two more lines (med and heavy), but those are not ready yet, more details when SerB decides what goes where
- "historical battles" have, according to SerB one problem: in theory everyone wants them but in reality, noone will play them
- SerB states that the trees released on WoT Wiki are not up to date
- it IS possible not to penetrate external modules (for example Maus has the tracks armor of 70mm)
- the mods have a rough idea of how many people are using mods, but they won't comment on how they got them
- there is no official statement on gold ammo for credits yet, but most likely it will stay
- the arty and tank shells have the same penetration model, they also lose penetration with distance (AP shells)
- French T7-8 medium premium tank? "no comment"
- there is no plan to show the trajectory angles of shells (SS: some shells - mostly from howitzers - fly in higher arcs, but how high - that won't be indicated)
- the next premium tier 8 medium tank will belong to the "nation that needs it" (SS: related to the question whether it'll be a Chinese vehicle) and it will be similiar to the Type 59 prototype
- there will be further graphics optimalisation
- the devs are satisfied with the 2x-XP-per-first-battle system
- the Chinese tier 6-8 light tanks have the same MM as their French light counterparts
- the rising number of artillery does influence the future map design
- it's not planned to indicate (extra reward) the tank that did the most damage to the enemy
- there are no incendiary shells in the game "because the devs didn't implement them" (SS: what an enlightening answer)
- rough history of the "121" tank - an attempt to create a worthy opponent for the T-62 with the limited resources available, there might even be a book on these Chinese projects
- there are no plans to create a separate "superheavy" class of tanks (devs considered that, but decided not to do it)
- the work on the new MM is underway
- devs don't think that the Dragon's ridge player experience is bad
- new maps are being developed (again, no specifics)
- no tier 11 planned
- IS-6 won't get an armor buff
- the clan functions are being worked on, no more details
- the Russian and Chinese versions of IS-2 were roughly equal
- Karelia is the oldest map, then came Malinovka and Himmelsdorf
- the game mechanics work absolutely the same in all the modes (companies, random, training...)
- stock tanks do NOT have a better MM than fully equipped tanks (SS: this was tried, didn't work)
- there is no gun in the game, that could reliably penetrate the Superpershing thru its thickest armor (the frontal armor screens), you have to aim for the weakspots
- Japanese tanks are going to be unique (SS: reaction on the rumor they will "feel" like German tanks)
- Japanese branch will have no King Tiger equivalent

[fenrhir]

Petit extrait :
- 2D hitskins are allowed, because "a normal player knows where to shoot and they won't help a noob anyway"

- the rumor that the contract for the game is written for 5 years and then the development will stop is false (there was a rather funny string of questions, ending with SerB going into full ragemode: "there has to be a brain in the head - without it the thinking doesn't work and (from that) comes the spamming, whine and crap")
- Q: "Will KV-5 get a new gun?" A: "Will you bring up here all the retarded rumors, or only half of them?"haha.

Merci Wanna :)

10.1.2013

- even though Mr. Hilary Doyle states that the lower mobility of the German vehicles is a myth, the devs state that he's only one of the experts and that their lower mobility is noted in various other sources, according to Wargaming their own expert (Jurij Pasholok) was one of those people who actually livetested a Panther in Kubinka, so he has first hand experience (SerB states that it's not possible the Kubinka Panther was broken or something like that)
- Doyle notes that the name of the engine intended for the VK3002DB is MB507 - in the game, however, the Maus engine has the same designation. This is not going to be changed (devs don't state why)
- KV-1, T-34 and Panther turret rotating speeds won't be changed (they don't match Doyle's date)
- Doyle states that the weight of the Schmalturm is actually less than the weight of the "regular" Panther turret. According to the devs, this is not true, as the geometric calculations suggest otherwise
- when balancing the artillery, taking only winrate into account isn't enough, as it is balanced separately (SS: no point then in asking "what winrate will be low enough to stop arty nerfs")
- devs state that the IS-7 gun has such a long time, because it is long and heavy
- the reasons GW Tiger and GW E had their mobility reduced lies in balancing, the devs don't think they overdid the mobility nerf too much
- devs won't disclose any info regarding to the technical aspects of the game programming (the way the game calculates actual movement etc.)
- there will be a second french tier 10 heavy tank, it's supposed to have very thick frontal armor (both hull and turret), but the sides and rear armor will be weak, the second French heavy branch won't have autoloaders (confirmed), not decided where it will start though
- shots to external modules (that don't generally count in the post-battle debriefing) do count when calulating the "sentinel" medal
- there will be a feature showing the quality of the player directly in game (SS: player mentions some sort of official XVM, but that is unlikely, more like some sort of special skins and decals for high winrate players)
- approximately 20 percent of players removed the "assault mode" from their games via the settings
- Chinese inscriptions on tanks meaning: "use google" (SS: much simplier - hover the mouse over the respective decals and a popup text with their meaning will show)
- so far, no other than "historical" insciptions on tanks are planned
- Clanwars mercenaries in their current form were cancelled, because they'd only be made of clan players who want to gear up
- there will be an option of playing CW's without joining any clan though, the devs are working on it
- devs don't think that the Chinese IS is overpowered even though it has 300mm gold pen shells, because its mobility is worse than its Soviet counterpart
- the only Soviet tanks with autoloaders are the T-64, T-72 and T-80, they won't appear in the game
- devs don't consider the Marder II overnerfed
- there will be no penalties for arty players, who favour shooting enemy tank destroyers (SS: meant as "tank destroyers who camp the base and don't pose any danger, while enemy meds and heavies pose a much higher threat")
- SS: one player posted 9 whine/bullshit questions in a row, got 9x14days (126 days) of RO ban... holy shit
- regarding the turrets flying off: the devs are not sure yet how they will do it, if the turret wreck will be a material object and others will be able to see it and crash into it, it's not done with Havok anymore, it requires server resources. The devs prefer the ripped-off turret to be material, but aren't sure if that's gonna work
- effect of tracks flying off is purely cosmetic, so that can be done client-side
- the winrate differences between servers are only very small
- after 0.8.3, average damage done by arties is expected to drop by cca 15 percent, mostly because of the close range fighting
- the "alive" tank (who shows as live, but counts as destroyed because the crew is dead) is not considered a bug, won't be "fixed"
- according to SerB, it's pointless to file reports against an arty that shoots an enemy tank that is hugging your tank, kills it but damages you in the process - "part of the fight"
- according to SerB, the arty mobility nerfs won't affect good artillery players, because a good artillery player doesn't troll around in TD mode, quite the opposite
- there is apparently a plan to merge the Clanwars into one huge superserver where US, EU and RU clans will be fighting each other, the devs don't consider it a problem there might be a national rivalry (anti-russian insults etc), but - they won't implement this into random battles, where it would be a problem (or they will but in limited fashion)
- the new perks might be in 2013, not sure how many. Radioman skills and perks won't be reworked ("if you don't like them, don't train them")
- the camo check interval (rumored to be 5 seconds) will shorten - depends on the server resources
- there are plans to change the shell system (new types etc.) - no more details
- there are studies being conducted on the AT-15A prototype (this might make Listy happy) regarding its characteristics
- according to the devs, E50M is not completely fictional, it's fully within the spirit of the late war German designs, there is no suitable tank of its tier to replace it, the design was consulted with experts (Doyle, Jentz), it wasn't even possible to push the medium German branch up one tier (the German vehicles simply weren't that good). The vehicle isn't completely fictional, as it represents post-war development direction (French-German cooperation). Its gun is not completely fictional either, as there were plans for such a gun but the data didn't survive the war, so the devs used the L7 as analogy.
- the ingame ST-I suspension is almost identical to the one of IS-4
- in 0.8.0, camo coefficients for tanks were changed to fit the new render, but the equation itself wasn't
- US arty M52, M53, M55, M109, US medium T42, Russian Object 103 and German VK3002DB Ausf. B in the game? "no comment"
- FCM36 Pak40 and B2 LeFH105 premium arty are French because the German branch had enough premium vehicles of its own, B2: it's not planned to be made German
- the regular AP and subcaliber AP penetration decals are the same
- the 30 second battle countdown starts approximately when 2/3 of the team are present
- the time gap between the point of base capture and return to hangar is 5 seconds. If in those 5 seconds a tank is destroyed (regardless of which team), the 5 second timer resets, so if the tanks are killed left and right during that period, it can reach a rather long time (even a teamkill can reset the counter)
- a HE arty shell that penetrates a tank hull and explodes within has the splash of 0 - it hasn't been decided whether this will get changed
- no plans for other gold shells for the tier 9 Patton
- no plans for radical change of TD gameplay
- no plans to improve the Superpershing turret rotation speed
- SerB: technically there are enough vehicles for 5 German TD branches, 3 without the "paper" vehicles (SS: the term Serb used is "a stretched vehicle" - might also mean vehicles buffed beyond their actual parameters)
- theoretically second branches of arty are possible, but there will most likely be none
- a huge change for 2013 (think "new physics" magnitude)? "I'll let you know when I'm ready"
- there is a rule that an arty cannot kill more than half of the crew in one shot
- devs think that the current sound quality (regarding the engine sounds) is quite okay, it'll improve though
- Storm prefers AT-15A to SU-122-44 because he doesn't like the aiming time and the accuracy and spread of the Soviet tank
- the devs state that rather than developing the system where the tanks are covered in mud when they pass it, they'd prefer to work on the game optimalisation
- SerB: we don't guarantee that the E50M will remain to be the tank with the most accurate gun around
- the idea that there will be two types of game clients: one for weak computers and one for strong ones has been scrapped, "for technical reasons"
- it's not out of the questions that there will be more tier 10 vehicles (of all classes) with unlockable modules, but SerB states it's not planned specifically
- no plans to reduce the XP requirements for skill and perk training
- no plans to move the game to another engine
- according to SerB, 3 arties per team is an optimal average number, when the number drops to that, there will be no more nerfs needed
- Swiss Panzer 58 and Panzer 61 both fit into WoT timeframe, but SerB won't comment on their implementation to the EU tree
- 2013 E25 confirmed
- IS-7 and IS-4 have the similiar fuel tanks layout
- SU-101 winrate is fine according to devs
- when vehicles of the same tier have 3-4 percent winrate difference, it's a reason to rebalance (it has always been so)
- Storm doesn't consider the scout flood a MM issue, we can expect to see 10xScout + 5xArty teams further
- standard render will most likely not be further developed
- Christie tanks rolling around on wheels 100 km/h? "no"

Il faut que la 155 reste comme elle est, en revanche ils peuvent peut-être diminuer la mobilité de la 155 51 et surtout celle de la 155 50 !

On continue:


- SerB states that the child protection is the duty of the parents (eg. no additional child protection features planned)
- Crusader is not designated as a top tier scount (never was)
- there is no automatic punishment system for insults (in contrast to teamdamage and teamkills) because insults don't directly influence the game
- lower frontal armor of E-100 won't be changed
- multithreading (real multicore support) - "only if there is middleware that can do that available for the render system we use" (SS: there was a more complicated answer but I am not a tech guy, not sure how to translate that)
- regarding the fact that the British don't have a hightier scout: "complete symmetry of branches was never intended"
- regarding Mr. Doyle's opinions and research, they were taken into account when considering German tanks, but real tests proved more important
- the ST-I model in game is historical, it is based on the original drawings from the archives
- SerB answering to a whiner, who asked "when will you stop adding new tanks and focus on quality instead?" "We won't. We are very sorry that this fact upsets you"
- the chance of transmission catching on fire is the same as with the engine (in case of E-100: 15 percent)
- the angles and sizes of IS-4 hull and armor will be re-checked by Storm (based on player complaints)
- devs state that the whine about 0 damage hits comes from basic misunderstanding on the player side as to how the game system works
- Q: "Will the Leopard 1 have the Rheinmetall 120mm gun?" A: "Why don't we just make it with a gauss gun?"
- the profitability of the SU-122-44 is considered okay
- AT-15A MM spread is considered okay
- it's "possible" that there will be premium vehicles in 0.8.4 (SS: it was confirmed before the SU-100Y will appear)
- T57 Heavy stats don't stand out too much according to SerB
- Type 62 will return to the game store? "If it does, I will let you know"
- regarding the "historically inaccurate horsepower" of the M12 engine: "we'll use the resources we think are right"
- SerB personally hates nazis and nazi-lovers and bans them (related to some player question, why are nazis treated so harsh in the game)
- dynamic elements in the maps (moving trains, minefield...) - "you can wait for them but the result is not guaranteed"

Il serait intéressant de retrouver les plannings annoncés en 2011 pour 2012 et voir ce qu'il en a été.Déjà fait, et oui, sans surprise, y'a eu des décalages, tout le temps.
Et WG a appris à ne plus annoncer "ouaich sûr dans 2/3/6/12 mois on te fait tel char avec telle stat et telle fonctionnalité".

Faudrait que les gens arrêtent d'être cons et de demander des news, sur tout, tout le temps, et ensuite couiner qu'une rumeur lancée par l'interprétation d'une demie-annonce n'est pas devenue réalité. Ou qu'ils arrêtent de demander à un politicard de changer le monde en 3-6-12 mois pour ensuite gueuler qu'il ne l'a pas fait.
Mais ils sont cons.

Toujours aucune info concernant les chinois ?

[Wannamama]

- an updater for the test client is not planned (according to SerB it's a waste of time)
- Serene coast is doing statistically fine
- SerB thinks that teamkilling penalties on testserver are handled independently from main account, but he isn't sure
- module crits and caused engine fires do not count towards teamkilling damage
- devs take info about the tanks from books and archive copies, SerB states that if he stacked the copies of the archive files on top of each other, the height would exceed 8 meters
- nations, which will have tanks (SS: not full trees, only tanks, maybe even one at a time from that respective nation) implemented into the game: "Finland, Poland, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Yugoslavia" (SS: WTF, no Czechoslovakia? Then again...)
- the rumors about some regular tanks being transferred to premium status (á la T34) are false
- the devs don't see the fact that Panzer B2 cant penetrate the Matilda as that much of a problem ("don't play with it")
- Question at SerB: "Are you the right hand of Viktor Kisliy?" (CEO) A: "Viktor has many right hands"
- ROF is a balance value, it won't be changed to historical values with some tanks (SS: players whining that IS should fire faster)
- the reason why the originally planned German medium branch got changed the way Storm presented it two weeks ago was "internal decision"
- the game will be developed within technical limits, high-end laptops should be able to run it on medium details at least (that is the hope of the devs)
- Leopard 2 is not planned as a tier 10 heavy (SS: yes, people actually ask that)
- 1-1,5 min waiting times when playing arty in the night won't get shorter before the number of arties actually drops



Toujours aucune info concernant les chinois ?

Apparemment, ça serait pour le 17 (du moins pour le serveur SEA).

---------- Post added at 12h19 ---------- Previous post was at 12h04 ----------


11.1.2013

- there are no plans to change the shell mechanism into something more historical: whiners would whine anyway and the server load would be much bigger (Storm added "naturally not, for many reasons")
- SerB states that everything is fine with API (SS: sorry, no idea what that is)
- two-speed turret rotation is not planned (SS: not sure this is correct, as the question isn't there whole - basically what some tanks had was that the turret rotation had two selectable speeds and the slower one was used for fine aiming - which was done generally manually anyway)
- currently, the work on new maps is stopped until the old ones are re-worked to the new render, but roughly 10 new maps are in various states of completion
- maps from South and central America ("Mexico") and "Savannah" are in plans, no exact number available on how many maps will come in 2013
- it is not planned to raise the compensation for arty HP loss by teamkills (SS: the issue is, that hightier arty, although it has low HP, has high repair costs to prevent it from being profitable, so it has relatively more repair cost per HP than other vehicles. However, compensation for teamdamage is calculated for all the vehicles the same, thus when the arty gets teamkilled, it recieves much less compensation than a regular tank).
- it's not yet determined where in the German tree will the Durchbruchwagen go (possible that it will lead to heavy tanks)
- SerB states that the VK2001 to be implemented can be found here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerkampfwagen_III#Nachfolger_VK_2001
- SerB states there is even a Leopard prototype from Arbeitsgruppe C, but that's not for the weak and timid people It won't be implemented because it would be ridiculously difficult to balance:

Leopard Arbeitsgruppe C Entwurf (Borgward) - hydropneumatic suspension with variable height settings, 1500hp engine, 80-120km/h speed (with and without tracks), 3-axis stabilized turret with a 105mm gun

http://i.imgur.com/mpCg3.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GCWeG.jpg

- Leopard 1 will game-wise be a hybrid of Batchat and T-62A
- it's probably already decided which vehicle will open the new German branch, but SerB won't tell yet
- it's possible KV-5 might appear again in the gift shop (no promises, also, this goes for RU server)
- SweB states that if you manually set the WoT game to work on a "free" core (not running the operating system), the client will work better, but it doesn't guarantee you'll get better FPS, as that depends also on the graphics card
- there is a possibility the VK3002DB exp accumulated by players (SS: including me) will be useless because it might not be a part of the branch (SS: SerB went on a rant that the devs are not responsible for players assuming stuff before the patchnote release), Storm states only "when there is an official announcement, all will be revealed"
- it's possible (on some open-topped) machines to kill crewmembers without even damaging the vehicle, as they are "sticking their heads out" and the shell hits them
- Storm states that it's very important to have a solid videocard. As for RAM - 4GB should suffice
- Storm states that the music is of good quality and there is enough of it, so why change it (as a reply on whether there will be new music added into the game)
- an allied tank shooting next to you or behind you won't demask you
- artillery won't have its aiming made easier
- free camera, the ability to switch to any tank in replays: it will be implemented but not anytime soon, very difficult to implement
- NO skill MM (yet again confirmed)

nations, which will have tanks (SS: not full trees, only tanks, maybe even one at a time from that respective nation) implemented into the game: "Finland, Poland, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Yugoslavia" (SS: WTF, no Czechoslovakia? Then again...)

Je comprends pas pourquoi il râle pour la Tchécoslovaquie, si c'est pour rajouter quelques chars, non pas une branche complète, pourquoi introduire les quelques chars tchèques qui sont déjà sous l'arbre allemand ?
Et non, l'argument "ouais mais les chinois ...", parce que les chinois n'ont besoin que d'une paire de chars de "moyen tier" pour faire un arbre complet, c'est pas le cas de la Tchéquie.

- it's not clear yet whether the DW will be DW1 or DW2 or combination of both or whether it will really be designated as a heavy tank
- Q: "Since you ban nazi-named clans, will you ban homosexual-named clans too? After all children play the game" A: "A necrozoopedophile came visiting, tiny dead animals he brought with him" (SS: end of quote - and yes, it does rhyme in Russian) - apparently not, devs will ban only those names that are illegal by law
- 105mm L/100 gun - devs tried to implement such a weapon, looked horrible, was scrapped
- D-25 won't have its accuracy buffed. Devs state that its real-life accuracy was comparable to the German 88 L/71 and if they implemented it as such, everyone would be playing Russian tanks only
- devs don't think it's wrong (and unbalanced) that tanks from different eras fight each other (SS: for example that the Tiger was so overhyped and yet when facing T8-9 it underperforms)
- SerB states that if the amount of arty per battle doesn't drop after the introduction of tier 10 arty, more nerfs will come
- there is a possibility smokescreens will eventually make it into the game, but so far it's just an idea (SS: technical reasons, smoke is quite requiring)


12.1.2013

Topic: maps, both old and new

First a bit of background: a player recently posted a blog entry, where he basically raged about the maps being bad. Storm got pretty pissed and wrote a short "counter-entry" and answered in the comments. Here is the info he shared:

- Komarin and Swamp will return in 2013 (Storm writes that on Komarin, the bases will be where the spawns are now)
- the re-worked maps are considered a failure and will be re-worked again
- Dragon's Ridge will be removed from the game in 0.8.4 and it will be reworked - how, Storm doesn't know yet
- Serene Coast will be removed also - also reworked, also not sure how yet
- all maps have the same chance to be selected - except for the new ones
- Prokhorovka will be "levelled" more, there are too many holes
- special maps for modes - not for now
- only 3-4 maps out of 33 are considered problematic, Storm hints that the problematic maps will be removed in 0.8.4 (SS: could imply not only Serene Coast and Dragon's Ridge will get removed)
- the broken roads of Ruinberg were also unintended (SS: not sure whether they got fixed or not yet)
- Storm will look into the server aiming circle for arty issue
- Storm won't remove the problematic maps right now, because it's technically complicated, it requires a server patch and currently, another patch is inbound, it has also to be done manually by removing files on the server (noone made an interface to do that, as the maps are removed like this only rarely)
- the issue of selecting for yourself which 3-4 maps you don't want to play is complicated - there would be balancing issues during low activity periods (early mornings etc.) and they can't make it work in prime time only, as some servers (US, Asia) have low activity periods quite often and because players would (rightfully) claim "why doesn't it work when I selected that in settings". A player followed this with a question if it could be done for RU server only, as an experiment (just as the EU server has the experimental nickname change and Russians don't), but Storm stated that would create too much anger, as this option is very much desired and EU players would rage they don't have that. It would be possible to create a system where ONE map can be de-selected, but Storm is still afraid of implementing that, because he thinks it would backfire. It would also create MM issues and cause longer waiting times, which is not acceptable in this case.
- if you meet SerB in battle and start shooting him (teamkill) or insult, he WILL ban you. And report you.
- for now, normalisation won't be reduced
- you get more XP when you survive the battle - that applies even if you teamkill (and that won't be changed)
- ultralow graphic setting? "use standard render"
- devs are happy with the balancing and the amount of Lowe tanks
- new tanks are better modelled than the old ones were
- the nasty spot at Live Oaks (I0 sector) that looks like shallow water on the minimap yet you will drown your tank there will be reworked
- the designated armor (see picture) on Jpz E-100 is cca 280-300mm thick (Storm doesn't remember exactly), not 500 as it would visually look like (250mm frontal casemate + 30-50mm armor plate), it LOOKS thicker however - the model will be fixed to reflect its real thickness, the nominal armor thickness won't be changed

Une petite sélection de réponses données hier par The_Chieftain sur Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/16c7y9/i_am_the_chieftain_wargaming_americas_director_of/


Q: I find the lack of communication between players in the game. So my question is: are there any plans on fixing this gap in communication. And how do you handle tactical decisions in "pubbie" matches?
A: Yes, there are such plans. Partially for tactical communications purposes, and partially also just to enhance the social aspect of the game. It's a team game, after all, why not talk with your team mates?

Q: When will chat be fixed/changed?
A: I've seen a date, but can't recall what it is. But I have seen a date. They've been working the problem for a while.

Q: Light tanks like T-50-2, ELC AMX and Chaffee can reach really high speeds. So I was wondering were there a lot of losses caused by bad driving, or driving on uneven terrain that led to tanks being lost or crew being seriously injured? I assume there were some losses but were they really big, or was it just an occasional thing?
A: Heavy tanks can cause the same problem. You've seen those publicity shots of a T-90 shooting whilst in mid-air after launching from a ramp? Yeah, I do -not- want to be the gunner on that tank when it hits the ground and the sight comes up to meet him. Even a solid application of the brakes on a 70-ton M1 can result in lost teeth atop the hatches.

Q: What books would you recommend on Tank lore?
A: On the specifications? For the US, Hunnicutt is the standard. For German, Doyle/Jentz. British, usually Fletcher, and Russian is much easier if you speak Russian.

Q: Heard someone on forums suggest 5man platoons that get paired up with other 5man platoons in 15v15 matches. Any plans on something like this?
A: Not that I'm aware of. Would reduce the enjoyment of the random pubbies who become 'also rans' and 'cannon fodder' for the 5-man platoons.

Q: What arty do you think should be used to fill in the gaps if the current 8s go to 10 as has been mentioned in the past by WG?
A: I have sent some suggestions to Minsk. Whether they listened to me or not is another matter, but some of those suggestions have appeared on the proposed ten-tier branch I've seen come back, so I choose to believe that they did.

Q: First off, what is the story with Italian tanks?
A: Last I heard they are still going into the Pan-Euro tree. I've seen an interesting player proposed tree with enough entrants to almost make Italy a viable nation on its own, however, but I think it falls short at the Tier X level.

Q: Second off, have there been thoughts about adding in other cosmetic options to tanks other than inscriptions and flags?
A: There have been such thoughts.

Q: Any info on the American-British lend lease line? Looking forward to driving a Firefly and a desert rat Stuart.
A: I don't know if they'll put the Jerboa icon in the right place for the lend-lease tanks, but otherwise you'll be OK. I even see the Caunter scheme as a camo option. As for which specific lend-lease tanks will be there... I'm not in a position to reveal if it's not out already.

Q: Hi. I'm curious if you're happy with the state of clan wars and if you'll pursue eGaming more than you are now?
A: Clan Wars is still in Beta, so obviously someone thinks it can still be tweaked. We are making a much bigger push into E-Sports this year.

Q: Are there any plans to introduce skills/perks/bonuses unique to a country with some relation to history? eg German tanks get +5% view range ontop of optics because they had the best sights during WW2 and Americans get +5% on repairs because of their massive production lines etc.
A: I don't see the view range thing being implemented, it should already be a factor in the view range. Repair skill time is an interesting idea, however, I'll kick it up. I haven't actually seen anything directly on point to your suggestion.

Q: Can we expect expansion of the variety of tanks? Such as tiers above 10, different tank roles (such as rocket platforms), or maybe more nations?
A: Tier X is a hard limit. Other roles have been mentioned (I think the Sturmmoser Tiger is one example, and I seem to recall hearing about command tanks). We've a few more countries to come yet.

Q: Thanks for being here. I only have one question at the moment: One of the items I am most excited about is the possibility of Garage Battles. Will this ever become a real game type, and if so, how soon do you think we may see this kind of variety in the game?
A: I'd put a few dollars on it becoming a real game type. Actually, I'm not sure why it hasn't been already, they've been talking about it for long enough. I do not know the specific date off the top of my head.

Q: Why do HE shells feel so useless outside of large "derp" cannons? Are they even meant to be a viable options anymore.
A: Simply because HE shells are not a primary armor defeating round, but the game has nothing but armoured targets. I usually carry at 10 rounds HE or 1/4 of my loadout. Very useful for resetting caps, or just annoying things I can't otherwise damage.

Q: I was looking through the projected tech trees for each nation the other day and noticed that there is a second planned American medium tank line capped by the T95 MT. Can you give us any information about the tank that isn't readily available on other sources? (i.e. Wikipedia)
A: Hunnicutt's "Abrams" does a very good overview of it, I guess. It looks a lot like a squished T54. The project was started at the same time as T110, along with T96, except the T110 was designated a short-term one. Eventually they realised that the heavy guns intended for T96 could actually be mounted on T95 anyway, so T96 was nixed. In the end T95 became more a weapons testbed than a viable tank project in itself.

Q: Why did the soviets trade/give so much tank technology with the Chinese? and what modifications were done to these tanks to adapt them to the different terrains?
A: Ideological partners, I guess. Good communist friends. Not much. The Chinese tree seems to have a number of vehicles which are changed from the usability/internal space standpoint, more than the mobility/environment standpoint. USSR was so big that their tanks had to be capable of dealing with pretty much any environment that existed in China anyway. The significant change, I think was the creation of more light tanks in China, a reflection of the terrain in some of the neighbouring countries, and the requirement to get a few across to Taiwan.

Q: Hey Cheiftain, i have a question pertaining to the German medium line coming in 8.5(?). The World of Tanks forums have been debating what version of the Leopard 1 will be used, and was hoping you could clarify which it may be.
A: Well, I'm quite sure it won't be the welded turret A3 or A4! Beyond that, I'm not convinced myself. I've seen a couple of proposals, but the 3D model has not yet been created. At least, I can't see it and I can see plenty of other unreleased tanks.

Q: What do you think about the low tier game?
A: The new player experience has been a focus for us for a while. I know, it's not Eve, but there's still a learning curve particularly for someone not used to games with things like 'spotting mechanics', it can be seriously frustrating. Especially if you don't figure out that there are no respawns. Fortunately, some steps have been, and continue to be, taken to help new players adapt to the WoT environment. We're also taking the lessons to heart and immediately implementing what we can into WoWP and WoWS before they get launched.

Q: You probably don't know or can't say, but can you give us any information on the British tank destroyer tree?
A: Not much. Your typical favourites, Archer, Achilles and Tortoise are liable to be around somewhere. I'm afraid the 2pr isn't the cool-looking Aussie LPA Carrier, Tank Attack. There was a slew of British designs int the leadup to Tortoise (AT-15 is in the game already) so I might not be surprised to see some of those show up either.

Q: Sooo the Archer TD has a rear facing gun.... is that going to be implemented? Because that'd be awesomely hilarious.
A: Yes, but last I heard, they still haven't decided which way the thing will go when you press 'w' No, he won't get killed/hurt when you fire. There are a number of tanks which would cause significant bodily injury if they tried to shoot/move in the manner they do in the game. M26 and T-54 come to mind, for example. Loaders wouldn't last at all.

Q: How they going to play? Like the heavies, heavily armored and mediocre guns or different?
A: My guess is similar to the US line, except with slightly better guns. I'm sure they'll lose something to compensate.

Q: When are the British TDs going to come? Next patch? One after?
A: Can't answer (Not permitted)

Q: If introduced how would TD/SPG's like the Strumtiger work?
A: Last I heard, they were considering categorising those big boys as their own class of vehicle, neither TD nor SPG. I've not pushed finding out information on them, due to time prioritisation.

Q: The Leopard 1 and AMX 30 have been announced for the game and we allready have a T62 variant in game. Could a configuration of the M60 Patton fit into the game? If so, how do you think this would work out?
A: The cannon would surely be the M58 105mm if it were to be incorporated. (I can't think of another.. the 120mm smoothbore is way too OP for WoT). Probably the counterpart to the later versions, such as AMX-30B1/B2 or Leopard 1A1A4 or Leopard 1A5.

Q: How are those new french super heavies going to be played? they have multiple large guns so will multiple gun support be added with them?
A: Last I saw, multi-gun support was not yet enabled for them.

Q: Where German tanks really superior in ww2 and if so why they r not very good at the game?
A: German tanks were superior at what they were designed to do. Ease of maintenance, for example, was not one of those superior traits. American crews probably didn't care how many hours of sleep the Panther crew had lost trying to replace the #2 inside left roadwheel, they were far more concerned about the rather big gun and heavy armour facing them. I think they're pretty good in game. Tiger (P)s in particular annoy the heck out of me, and I defy anyone to say the 3601(H) is a poor tank.

Q: Will there ever be a skill based matchmaker?
A: And I believe Chris Keeling also gave a definitive 'no' about three weeks ago.

Q: Historically how would have the Batchat 25t and the Leopard 1 compared?
A: Batchat 25t really was a fairly unique design. More of a cavalry tank than a battle tank, I would say. Certainly history has borne out the winner, the Leopard seems to have been easier to build, easier to protect from NBC effects, and easier to upgrade. Especially once things like gun stabilisation were invented. I don't think BatChat would have ever had a front-line tank role in the French Army, but I can definitely see a use for it in specialist roles, if they had the money and personnel to spare.

Q: Do you plan on having any sort of Stuka zu fuss or calliope?
A: I seem to recall seeing Calliope as a proposed vehicle.

Q: When will you improve the chat box? Sometimes messages scroll too fast and I miss them.
A: When the improvement is ready. They're working on it, I don't have a date.

Q: Have you heard anything about a historic battle mode around the office any?
A: Yes. When, I don't know, but yes. I know Serb is personally a fan of the concept.

Q: I was wondering if we could get your opinion on/any news about changes to the 'scout' matchmaking. That is, those light tanks that tier 4 and higher (with a couple of exception) can get into much higher level games than same tier mediums and heavies, while being excluded from most matches where they would be top tier.
A: Being discussed. I don't think the role of the light scout is completely gone (esp in company battles and some maps on Clan Wars), but yes, I understand where you're coming from in random battles. I suspect that future game modes may well prove to make it worthwhile to have a light scout in your garage, even without expanding the light tier level. (eg M41 for US tree)

Q: Is there any word on the FV215b and it's conversion to Tier X TD and whether it will use the historically accurate 183 mm cannon.
A: FV215b (183) is the Tier X TD as far as I know. It is -not- however currently slated to be a converstion from the FV215b (120) which is scheduled to sit happy as larry in its current position on the Heavy line.

Q: How do you think the S-Tank will play when/if it ever will be in the game.
A: Presumably like a TD. It's an interesting problem, though, because there is no traverse to the gun at all, so any 'aim' will require movement of the track and thus blooming of the aiming reticle. Maybe they'll give it a really low 'aim on the move' modifier?

Q: Any chance you can tell us when to expect the German TD line to be finished?
A: Nope. At this point, I don't know myself. The models exist, at least. I guess it's down to final balancing and the release schedule.

Q: Has there been any further thoughts/info about being able to fire multiple guns on a tank (eg M3 Lee)?
A: No. Still on the 'we'd like to do it but haven't done it yet' list.

Q: Are there any plans to introduce some of the more obscure premium tanks into the game, at least that you can tell us about?
I'm mainly interested in the Type 59 G, and WZ-111.
A: I don't believe either of those two are likely to be seen on the US server. If you're referring to 'regional oddities' like the PzIV Hydro or M4A2E4, they are server-specific, and are also unlikely to appear on servers that they are not currently found on.

Q: Can you confirm that the current british t10 will go TD and be replaced by the chieftan?
A: I cannot. I'm really not sure where that rumour started, last I heard FV-215b with the 183 was going to be the TD, leaving the current FV-215b as the top Heavy.

Q: Is there a chance that countries that have no tier 10 tanks (and tier 9, ect.) might be added? (For example, Japan might be one of the countries.)
A: I have seen no proposals for countries without Tier X tanks. Otherwise, where's the reward for grinding through it?

Q: Tank Emblems, we will be seeing anything new in the future? I like the ability to add custom decals others can see in game, and realize that "over-doing" this option could really ruin the look and feel of the game. But the current emblems are kind of boring and poopy looking
A: They are a little bit, aren't they? The desire to put bumper stickers all over the tanks seems to be a particularly American trait, there's less demand for it elsewhere. Which I guess makes sense, if you look at the back of a car in Dallas vs one in Birmingham. We're still expanding them, though, albeit a bit slowly. Personally, I'm not a fan of the things at all, but I'm a killjoy. I don't even put camo on my US tanks, as they were rarely applied in real life.

Q: Is there going to be new tanks to the dedicated light tank lines?
A: Yes. Light lines are going to be expanded, I believe M41 was pretty much confirmed by the Minskonians this week.

Q: What do you think about being able to veto a number of map so we don't/rarely play them ? Also new game modes would be appreciated.
A: Personally? I don't like it. You'll have all the artillery vetoing Himmelsdorf in the hopes that they will get Prokhorovka, all the heavies vetoing Prokhorovka so that they don't have to worry about the artillery... The whole rock/paper/scissor balance will be thrown out of whack. However, there has been talk of 'reduced probability' options, or 'increased probability' options which I guess I can live with if correctly implemented. Agreed on new game modes. They're still working on them.

Bonne chose pour Komarin, ça limitera les island rush je pense. Et pis ça marquera un tournant par rapport à l'ancienne version.

Je suppose que les gens ont tendance à un peu trop se paumer, et c'est vrai que selon le char ça peut prendre un petit moment d'aller d'un point A à un point B.

Après, la base 1 est en hauteur tandis que la 2 est dans une cuvette, ça pose peut-être un souci de balance. Quelqu'un a le comparatif ratio défaites / victoires pour chaque base sur Dragon's Ridge sous la main ?

Le seul soucis à la limite de Dragon Ridge, c'est le spot au spawn sud qui permet de tirer le passage "en sortie de spawn" du nord qui déséquilibre à la limite, sinon... J'vois pas

[Djezousse]

Moi je la hais cette carte, bien content qu'il la redégage :D
Trop bordélique à mon sens, sur un heavy c'est la galère à jouer à cause du relief, difficile d'avoir une vision globale de la situation à cause des ouvertures un peu partout, et en général tout le combat se déroule sur toujours le même tier de la carte, le reste étant desert, à part pour quelques scouts qui trainent un coup de temps en temps...
Et si tu descend, espère même pas remonter avant la fin de la partie... :D

Bref, je suis pas fan, je prend plus de plaisir à jouer sur Serene Coast :D

[Psychocouac]

A la rigueur faudrait mettre les spawns sur les points de cap. Ça étendrait un peu l'action.

[Ckao]

Mouais, le temps que les lourds remontent... Moi celle que je ne supporte plus c'est Côte Sud. Davantage du au style visuel qu'à la carte en elle-même, mais je trouve qu'elle est très mal jouée en général.

[Chocolouf]

- FCM36 Pak40 and B2 LeFH105 premium arty are French because the German branch had enough premium vehicles of its own, B2: it's not planned to be made German.

Donc du premium fr avec de l'équipement allemands... Alors qu'il y a déjà suffisamment de possibilités de premium.

[Djezousse]

Sinon mon rêve le plus fou ce serait de voir Redshire disparaitre :D Je la supporte plus cette map, c'est du tir au pigeon de planqué ; 3/4 du temps si tu prends la moindre initiative t'es mort parceque la moitié de l'équipe adverse se planque sur la colline au centre.

[keulz]

Les déséquilibres ne sont pas les seules raisons pour retravailler une map.

[ZeFeKa]

D'où mon "sinon... J'vois pas" comme autres raison de retravailler la map.

[Wannamama]

13.1.2013

- IS-6's armor is completely historical, Wikipedia has it wrong apparently
- there are some vague plans to improve the quality of models (resp. textures)
- future graphics optimalisations are planned
- it's not planned to make crew not "heat-resistant" when the tank burns because it would cripple it too much
- Steel wall: hits from allies don't count (SS: related to the fact that there was a bug with sniper medal where shooting corpses DID count)
- an autoloader is not a special collision module, it falls under the ammo rack
- the smoke and dust effects won't have a separate on/off switch (you'll have to use 3rd party programs)
- the fact tanks sometimes "drop" to the ground from small height after the battle countdown stops is because the tracks get aligned to the land like that by the game engine
- the access to the ingame data such as exact tank armor placement and its exact values and statistics (detailed winrate, killed tanks etc.) are a "gray area" - mods that collect them aren't banned, but the devs aren't very happy about those number-collecting mods as they see the numbers are available for other purposes (WG statistics etc.), they don't plan to block the statistics gathering
- improved ventilation, BIA etc. do not directly affect gun accuracy, only via the crew skill
- Type 62 won't get its old hull back
- it's possible other nations will have rotating turret TD's, not only Americans (SS: might refer to Waffenträgers)
- 105mm L/100 not planned (not needed)

C'était quoi le problème avec l'armure de l'is6?

[sgtPompom]

C'était quoi le problème avec l'armure de l'is6?

Certains doivent la trouver trop épaisse/inclinée. Il est vrai que ça bounce/encaisse pas mal ces bêtes là.
D'un autre côté le canon est faiblard pour du tier VIII, mais certains n'ont l'air de voir que le côté blindé.

[Psychocouac]

Oui! Le canon est faiblard! Buffez le!


65% de win sur 328 partie c'est pas assez! @,_,@

[Psychocouac]

Ah non mon bon monsieur. J'ai 9 gold en tout et pour tout et j'utilise quasi jamais la totalité.

Juste qu'avec le vert stab, la ventil, et BiA on arrive sans trop de soucis à chopper des points faible chez le mec en face. Et comme l'is6 a un dpm d'ours ça se fini très mal pour lui. (en plus comme il est quasiment tout le temps sous estimé ce char, ça aide.)

[FAW_FoX]

Fixed.

[sgtPompom]

Ah non mon bon monsieur. J'ai 9 gold en tout et pour tout et j'utilise quasi jamais la totalité.

Je dois confondre avec quelqu'un d'autre pour le 2eme point alors.
C'est sur que si tu sais viser et pas le gars d'en face c'est pas très fair-play :trollface:

Pour ma part je le considère comme un IS-3 stock mais mieux blindé, pas le genre de bestiole qu'on sous-estime donc :tired:

[Psychocouac]

Ben quand le truc est à 100% face à toi il est assez facile de le passer (que ce soit dans le bas de caisse ou dans la trappe du pilote) par contre dès qu'il prend 5~10° d'angle c'est l'horreur. C'est pour ça que quand je suis dans la mélée et que j'attend de prendre un pain j'oscille sans arrêt pour compliquer la tache du mec. Ça marche très souvent.


Et comme il colle ~390 toutes les 9.5 sec ben ça pique.

[Djezousse]

Je confirme ce que dit le monsieur (merci à ceux qui me l'ont conseillés lorsque j'hésitait entre ça et le T34, d'ailleurs, je ne sais plus qui exactement) jusqu'à la semaine dernière j'avais 58% dessus avec moins de 300 parties (bon là j'ai pas mal perdu avec, suite à la semaine de l'enfer que je viens de passer, ses légions d'épic noobs et ses hordes de batailles perdues, snif)

Comme on en voit peu en jeu -les gens préférant sortir du Lowe ou du T34- les 3/4 des joueurs sous-estiment lourdement l'IS-6 et ça leur pose pas mal de mauvaises surprises :D Et puis la pénétration est pas si nulle que ça, en jouant les weakspots adverses, ça se compense tout à fait, et puis j'embarque toujours 4 golds en cas de coup vraiment dur, ça suffit en général.

C'est même d'ailleurs assez impressionnant si on arrive à bien gérer son angle, mon meilleur souvenir à ce niveau, ça restera une partie sur Redshire où mon équipe perd, jusqu'a ce que je me pointe en plein dans la base ennemie à découvert (je ne pensait pas y trouver d'autres chars que l'artillerie), seul, avec 3 arties occupées à tirer sur les copains, une qui me cible et me rate, 2 mediums, un KV1S et 2 TD qui me tirent dessus en permanence : résultat, je descend toutes les arties sauf une, un TD sur les 2, et les 2 mediums : je meurs uniquement parce que je rate mon dernier tir sur un 3ème TD qui viens de se pointer, sans quoi j'en aurait emporté un de plus, et probablement la dernière artillerie avec :D. J'ai du encaisser une 30aine de tir, facile ^^

L'IS-6 c'est vrai que c'est une belle saloperie une fois bien anglé: de bonnes jupes bien épaisses, avec une inclinaison pas dégueu sur l'avant, la première fois que je suis tombé dessus en T29 j'en ai chié.

[CaMarchePas]

L'IS-6 c'est vrai que c'est une belle cerise sur le gâteau une fois bien anglé : il se focus sur le gros en face pendant que tu le pénètres avec ton su-122-44 qui du coup a une belle tôle bien fine et droite en face ! :D

14.1.2013

- Q: "What's wrong with English tanks, they get tracked all the time!" A: "Don't play tanks that have tracks" (and later adds: If you have a problem with tanks getting tracked, maybe you need to play a game without tanks)
- no alternative gun for IS-7 planned
- Player: "You will stop trolling when there is a serious competition for you around!" SerB: "Yes, yes, gaming industry is completely empty. A real desert!"
- when your armor gets penetrated by a HE shell, the center of splash is localised on the inner side of the penetrated armor
- XVM is not banned because "devs don't consider the mod dangerous"
- devs don't consider writing guides to underperforming tanks a viable substitution to buffs
- SerB reacting to a player whining that they will lose the community (by trolling) because WoWp will be a failure: "Show me, who has more Sid Meier, yes, Blizzard we respect highly... "
- if you have the graphics card working at 100 percent in hangar, it's a bug. Try refreshing drivers, Flash and contact support.
- there might be bending antennas introduced when client physics (Havok) are implemented
- SerB grinds money on pretty much every lower tier premium tank, but he doesn't use the T1E6
- tier 6 premium arty? Not anytime soon
- it's not clear yet whether the Leopard will have the German cross like other tanks, or the Bundeswehr insignia
- no details about the turrets flying off (such as whether they will have solid or "ghost" guns etc.)
- the GW-E weight is correct and won't change (SS: some player was complaining the hull is too heavy for the armor)
- "captured" tanks (Russian Panther, German T-34): "when it's done it's done" (SS: earlier announced they are not planned for 2013)
- SuperSherman might be implemented, no guarantee however
- M41 light tank and T92 light tank - same, might be implemented
- second Soviet medium branch - will there be a separate tier 10 vehicle, or will both branches end with T-62A? "no comment"
- this page (http://vk.com/serbwg) was not made by SerB, it's a fake
- European server is a single server. For now.
- "gold Type 59"-style tanks are not planned for other servers, it is considered Chinese server-exclusive
- Conqueror turret is considered to be armored adequatly for tier 9
- T-54 gold penetration (350) for both top guns will not be reduced
- Caernarvon's antenna is purely decorative (won't reveal the tank position if sticking out)
- if you are the last tank alive on your team and capture the enemy base and are destroyed destroyed in the 5 seconds between capture and return to the hangar, it will count as an enemy victory
- regarding the Porsche dieselelectric vehicles, it is not planned to allow them to go backwards the same speed as they go forward (SS: technically, it's not a complete bullshit. Dieselelectric drive in train engines allows for such a thing, that's why engines can go either way and have two cabins - one at each end. However, for a tank it's an obvious nonsense)
- there will be a new Soviet light tank branch of tanks constructed by N.I.Astrov implemented (T-60, T-70, T-80), possibly in next few months (not guaranteed), it's not clear whether it will end without merging some other branch (unfinished branch) or not
- regarding the Porsche Tiger's alleged 100mm frontal armor thickness: a player writes that it is well known that the Porsche Tiger had the frontal armor only 100mm thick and after its refit into the Ferdinand tank destroyer, they additionally welded another 100mm plate to the frontal armor. However, Porsche Tiger in its tank form only had 100mm frontal armor - SerB replies that "since there was only one Porsche Tiger, you might say that 100 percent of Porsche Tigers, that ever really fought in the war, had the frontal armor 200mm thick" (SS: this is TSB - "typical SerB bull... dung")
- this picture (http://s2.ipicture.ru/uploads/20130113/RUvEsmws.jpg) shows the typical explanation of why the frontal "R2D2" miniturret of the KV-5 doesn't get penetrated, SerB states that the miniturret armor is 125mm thick as far as he recalls
- this is how SerB looked in 2004 (http://cs416619.userapi.com/v416619491/1c28/gqh_qTTXQcU.jpg) (he's meeting some classmates from university)
- the repair time of tracks is obviously not realistic, it was balanced to keep the players not too much annoyed, same goes for other module repair times
- AMX-13 doesn't have a stabilizer due to the oscillating turret
- SerB drove only a BMP in real life, not a tank
- regarding lags (related to the RU server however), the devs state that the majority of lags comes from the server-client communication, not from "overloaded" servers
- regarding the arty moving to tier 10: "a tier 7 arty might move to tier 9, or to tier 8, depending on the branch" (SS: in other words, it is not automatic that T7 moves to T9 and T8 to T10, there might be other vehicles added for top tiers)
- Object 140 as tier 10 alternative Soviet medium tank? "no comment on future development"
- there will possibly be a tier 8 German light tank (SerB makes no reference whether that is really going to be the Aufklärungspanther)
- in 0.8.3 the arty splash nerf info is missing as the notes would get too long
- in the WG news article the Chinese tanks are painted green, however, in game they will have a different blue-ish colour (like they had on the test)
- the reason no permanent "medal = extra credits or XP" principle is implemented is that there would be retards who'd shoot or inconvenience or annoy their own teammates so they could get medals
- other nations won't most likely get late post-war camos, only Chinese do
- it's possible some very special camos (that were only made on one vehicle) will be implemented
- M46 Patton won't be replaced by M47
- Soviet T8 premium medium could be one of the T-54 predecessors, but that is only one of the options (when? "when it's done it's done")
- no plans so far to change (buff) the T-62A
- it's possible some Japanese vehicles will have autoloaders
- the perk distribution (how many people use what perks) is roughly what developers expected
- 0.8.4? "WIDID"
- weather effects? at some points, at this moment - technically difficult
- Asian maps - after the original maps are re-worked

A noter que les russes passent en 0.8.3 demain.

Pauvre, pauvre JagPanther, il a du s'arracher les cheveux, il a du pénétrer une seule fois sur tout ses tirs contre toi, y compris contre le flanc :D
Et les 2 bounces de T34 quasi à bout portant, c'est cadeau ^^

Je regarderais si je retrouve le replay de la partie dont je parlais plus haut, histoire de montrer ce que la bestiole est capable d'encaisser : j'y tiens 2 minutes facile en plein découvert dans la base ennemie à me faire mitrailler de partout à moins de 100 mètres, de face, de dos, de flanc ; et on parle de tirs de Ferdinand, de Hellcat, de T25-AT, de KV1S, de 2 hummels, et de 2 mediums quelconques :D
(Et je meurt parce que je fais une connerie sur le T25-AT, sans quoi je le tuait et continuait la série pour 30 secondes de bonus ^^ )

Nouvelle entrée sur le blog d'Overlord (http://overlord-wot.blogspot.be/2013/01/wot-global-vision-part-i.html)

Se concentre sur les clan wars et leur avenir. (Apparemment, depuis la fin-automne, les russes ont des territoires de Mongolie en CW, avec une limitations de tien entre 1-3. SU-26 TIME §)

[CaMarchePas]

Intéressant cet article, même s'il est basé sur le serveur russe ! Allez, traduction/résumé pour les feignasses :
-le mode Clan Wars a une équipe de développeurs dédiée seulement depuis fin 2012 (on peut donc espérer plus de mises à jours plus vite)

-des serveurs pour gérer la carte vont être rajoutés, serveurs plus proches des régions concernées (ex : serveur de Moscou pour la Russie ouest, serveur en Europe de l'ouest pour nous etc etc)

-la carte est toujours prévue pour être unifiée et commune à tous les serveurs de jeu, les nouveaux serveurs sont là aussi pour aider à ça. Les régions auront leur prime time en fonction de l'heure réelle de la zone concernée (donc comme actuellement pour nous où l'Europe de l'est commence tôt et l'extrême Ouest au plus tard). Pas d'estimation de date.

-le serveur russe a eu droit à deux évènements : l'Atlantide cet été (île qu'on a pu voir au millieu de l'atlantique) défendue par quelques bons clans et le staff WG (ils parlent de Ratte, ça vaudrait le coup d'avoir des screens). Un second en automne avec la Mongolie et des combats tiers 1-3. Ce dernier event a eu plus de succès.

-d'autres évènements auront lieu mais aucune info s'il y en aura ailleurs que sur le serveur Russe

-mise à jour du serveur CW russe en janvier / février, puis sur les autres serveurs, si les tests sont concluants les ajouts resteront
-Pillage : en conquérant une région vous pouvez choisir de la piller ou de la capturer normalement. Si pillée : on récupère de suite 3 jours de gains mais plus personne n'obtiendra d'or dessus pendant 7 jours.
-Révolte : si une région se révolte, elle devient un territoire de débarquement jusqu'à la fin de son prime time (ie : un soir de bataille) avec les mêmes possibilités/contraintes que les autres landings. La révolte est favorisée par la perte de provinces (à priori de toute province détenue par le clan), la perte du quartier général, l'absence de jetons sur la province et d'autres facteurs. Inversement la révolte a moins de chances de se produire s'il y a des troupes dessus et si le clan ne perd pas de territoire (voir en gagne ?)

-Le verrouillage des tanks va changer : une attaque réussie réduit le temps d'indisponibilité des chars, de moitié sur un territoire normal (de 7 soirées bloquées on passe à 3 donc) et de 90% (!!!) sur les territoire "gold" (je suppose que ce sont les territoire qui rapportent plus).

-Amélioration de l'interface de CW pour cet été sur le serveur Russe : une seule grande carte, pas de région à changer, tout disponible sur la même "page" (j'espère que ça sera optimisé sinon ça va bouffer sévère ! )


------

L'ajout d'une équipe de développeur ne peut être que du tout bon, on a vu ce que ça a donné quand ils ont embauché plus et racheté la boite du moteur graphique, un bon coup de fouet dans les maj.

Si le système de pillage est pas trop important (bien que ça permette de rusher une zone, piquer les tunes, l'abandonner pour un gain susbtantiel...), le système de révolte pourrait bien être sympa ! Faudra oublier sans doute l'échange régulier de territoire avec les alliés et les zones désertées, mais ça serait drôle d'arriver au beau millieu du bloc ennemi...

Le système de chars bloqué beaucoup moins longtemps si c'est une attaque victorieuse est un petit plus bien sympa aussi.

[Leucha]

Ca favoriserait à priori aussi la rotation des clans et la tailles des territoires controlé, leur histoire de révolte, puisqu'un clan dispose d'un nombre de jetons limités.

[titi3]

Tiens WG a évoqué un jour une possible version 1.0 ?

[keulz]

Tiens WG a évoqué un jour une possible version 1.0 ?

Ils ont dit que la numérotation ça n'a aucune importance, donc qu'ils rajouteront juste un 0,1 à chaque màj majeur.

En puis d'après les webmestres, on a déjà eu la version 8.1 alors bon, la 1.0 est déjà loin derrière.

[JulLeBarge]

Il n'avait pas été question au départ que pour les CW les joueurs sans clan puissent participer comme des mercenaires ?

Je trouve ça dommage qu'il n'y ait pas quelque chose pour les joueurs "casual", un truc qui ne demandent pas autant d'investissement que les CW normales.

[Noir le Lotus]

Une annonce récente semblait indiquer que l'idée était abandonnée, car en fait les mercenaires n'étaient que des joueurs de clan qui se faisaient payer par leur clan, et peu étaient des casus qui jouaient des clans divers.

15.1.2013

(Apparently SerB started new way of trolling - he now tells people who post stupidities that they should focus their efforts on real life)

- This vehicle (http://alternathistory.org.ua/ne-realizovannyi-proekt-sau-lev-germaniya) is something different than the ingame GW-E (SS: there has been a lot of whining about the GW-E parameters lately)
- SerB states that defragmenting the disk every 3-4 months helps making WoT run better
- it's possible than in the future, more low-caliber but high ROF British guns will be introduced, but SerB states those weapons were quite unique
- in 0.8.3, the golden shell was removed from Lorraine 155 only from one of the cannons, not all
- VK4502P now has a new frontal armor weakspot - the bow machinegun (regarding the change of the VK4502P in 0.8.3)
- if the server resets when you are in the middle of a battle and you drop out of battle to the menu instead of garage, the results of the battle do not count
- T32 won't recieve a more powerful gun
- there is no plan to make the MM loading screen (SS: where you see the table with various amounts of available players and tank classes straight after you press "Battle") stay on for some minimal time so you can cancel the battle
- Object 261 and T-82 had some minor armor bugs fixed
- it is not considered to award the scouts who light up the targets 75 percent of the arty kills' XP instead of todays' 50 percent
- the 0.8.3 WZ-132 engines (second engine: cost 10500XP, but the only difference is 10kg of weight) are not bugged, it's intentional
- same goes with the WZ-120 engine, that the asking player considers too expensive for its power

Looks like a lot of Chinese whine incoming today.

Non, contre leur nombre par contre... Comme tous ceux qui jouent tier IX+.

[Djezousse]

Dites, pour ceux qui ont joué à la version de test, faut s'attendre à quoi pour l'arrivée des chinois ?
J'ai lu les commentaires précis pour quelques tanks sur le topic dédié, mais j'ai pas d'idée globale de ce que je vais devoir affronter à partir de demain : grosse puissance de feu et faible blindage ? Gros mouvement ?
C'est quoi le gameplay global de la faction, en gros ?

[Nostradanus]

Pas joué personnellement, mais d'après le site, faut s'attendre à du Type-59. Bien blindé de face et assez chiant à percer, un gros rof, une bonne maniabilité, une pénétration dans la moyenne, mais très sensibles aux tirs dans les flancs.

C'est quoi le gameplay global de la faction, en gros ?

Il n'y a pas de "gameplay de faction", les chars sont assez différents en soi.

Le T1 est loin d'être le char du siècle. Il est assez drôle au mieux.
Le T2 est un T-26 avec un canon de char anglais (le pom pom, si tu les as joués).
Le T3 est sympa, je ne l'ai pas vraiment joué.
Le T4 est un M5 stuart sans l'obusier naze mais avec un canon de 47mm assez sympa.
Le T5 est un T-34

Branche light :
Char légers, rapides, fragiles et sensible de l'ammorack.
Le T6 à un canon un poil faiblard sur le papier mais a un barillet.
Le T7 et le T8 sont des chars avec des canons de meds bien bourrins (sans barillet) mais avec la mobilité d'un light. (Et le blindage aussi)

Branche meds :

Le T6 est un T-34-85
le T7 est un mix entre type-59 et T-34-85, assez chelou, pas vraiment intéressant j'ai trouvé.
Le T8 est mieux, bonne mobilité, bon canon, assez semblable au Type-59 au fait.
Le T9 est méchant, la mobilité n'est pas extraordinaire mais est quand même là, il a des bons canons (commence avec des canons "genre T-54", fini avec un canon d'IS-4)
Le T10 est plutot mobile et son canon est un "canon d'IS-4 ++"

Le T9 et le T10 n'ont aucune dépression de canon (débattement vertical vers le bas).

Branche heavy :

Le T7 est un IS, mais son canon spécifique au chinois a des stats ultra-bourrines (il me semble que c'est 300 de péné à la gold ...)
Le T8 est un semblant d'IS-3 un peu chelou, pas très bien blindé mais blindage extrêmement incliné, canon pourri.
Le T9 me est un espèce de mix entre IS-3 et "IS-4 de quand il était T9", blindage pas dégeu, mobilité pas dégeu, canon d'IS-7.
Le T10 est un peu à part, très mobile, assez mal blindé de caisse (mais la tourelle est balèze), assez peu de points de vie pour un heavy T10, mais parfait pour des tactiques de rush.

Pro-tip : la plupart des chinois haut-tier on une plaque anti-éclats sur l'avant (genre garde-boue vers l'avant, situé "au milieu" du blindage frontal). Sur bon nombre de ses chars, taper dans ce truc te fait atteindre assez facilement le réservoir (belle chance de feu).

Ha ben impec, ça a le mérite d'être exhaustif et précis, merci à toi :) Bon l'avantage c'est que les heavys tinois commencant au tier 7, on risque de ne pas en voir beaucoup les premiers jours ^^
Juste pour mon info, concernant le pro-tip, qu''est-ce que tu appelles "plaque anti-éclat" ? J'ai regardé les miniatures du tankopédia, je vois pas bien de quoi tu parles, et j'ai pas trouvé de screen de la chose.

Oui oui, j'avais bien compris, je parlais en général sur les tanks tinois qui ont ledit protège-éclat, histoire de savoir si je peux tenter de le percer avec un canon moyen, ou si c'est un morceau d'armure frontale "normale"; je ne parlais pas pour le Type59, je sais bien que lui n'a pas ce problème :)

C'est du blindage équivalent au frontal du char pour la plupart, donc il faut un bon calibre. Le seul qui nous a paru un peu faiblard sur ce point, si mes souvenirs sont bons, c'est le heavy T9 ou, dès que tu as une péné "correcte" tu passes cette plaque comme pour rire.

Ca donne quoi le bat chat 155 en 0.8.3 ?

Je l'ai débloqué la semaine dernière et je me pose toujorus la question de savoir si je l'achète.

Et si oui, je monte quels modules dessus (à part l'EGLD) ?

[Wannamama]

16.1.2013


- Chi-Ha is implemented as a light tank even though "Chi" in Japanese is the designation for medium tanks, because it is generally classified as a light tank
- the idea to make World of Tanks came in the last days of 2008, the original "founders" were Petr Bityukov, Slava Makarov, Viktor Kisly and Marat Karpeko - and it took a few months to bring the idea to alpha stage
- The equation for repair costs: (HP lost * repair cost for 1 HP) + (module HP lost * repair cost for 1 module HP)
- there is no special autoloader module, it counts as a part of the ammo rack module
- the peak times lag isn't cause by servers themselves, it is generally caused by the data paths being overloaded (SS: sorry, I don't know the proper IT terminology - SerB means the "wires" or "pathways" that lead the data)
- the speed reduction when driving close to rocks, slopes and other objects is realistic, won't be removed
- reworking the "expert" archievement? "no comment for now" (SS: the issue was that the devs blamed the expert medal for being a part of the reason for too much arty, as it is generally easier to archieve expert medal with artillery)
- the shot (trajectory) calculations are the same in sniper mode and arcade mode, even though the arcade mode seems to "jerk" less when driving over rough terrain - it's the same, just that in the sniper mode it's simply more noticeable, also, devs state that the gun aim circle spread after shooting in sniper mode is NOT bigger than after shooting in arcade mode, just more noticeable
- SerB doesn't care about the caricatures of him on the forums
- there seems to be no difference between the stock and upgraded Chinese IS-2 turret ("up to you whether you want it or not") (SS: ROF?)
- when a tank is destroyed (regularily), it does not mean all modules get destroyed (and counted as repair costs), they only appear so the players don't get confused
- module repair costs are not tied to the module purchase price
- barrels of AFK tanks move when you move close in front of them, because the aiming point automatically changes
- tracers weren't changed in 0.8.3
- currently, a drowned tank gets all modules destroyed (extra repair costs) in order to deter the drowners
- Panzer B2 has the tier 4 MM max and S35 tier 3-5 out of "balance reasons"
- there will be a special MM for light tanks too (SS: same amount of LT's in each team)
- there is no "ricochetability" (description) parameter planned (SS: the ability of a tank to ricochet a shell), because it's impossible to determine
- the Chinese Type 34 is historical and correctly balanced (SS: from what I could gather)
- the American R-975-C1 350hp engine will be rebalanced to match the Chinese one from the M5A1 stuart (400hp instead of 350hp, but 16kg more), the whole US M5 Stuart will be rebalanced
- capture points from capping the base apparently count towards the cappers' XP even though the battle is won by destroying all tanks
- the Foch 155 autoloader is realistic (SerB argues that it was made even for the FV4005 183mm gun)
- M10 Ersatz has German camo for "technical reasons"
- the removal of the maps from the random pool for players is really complicated, no decision yet
- the 3 degrees gun depression for Chinese tier 9 and 10 meds is final for now
- it's possible Lend-Lease tanks will take part in historical battles
- the components of various Stuarts might be a bit modified in order to differ them (and the US from Chinese)
- the modules with the same names in Chinese and other nations' tanks differ in properties because they were "produced differently", there are no plans to make Chinese modules compatible with other nations' modules "for technical reasons"
- the devs don't see the existence of the bug where the graphics card runs at 100 percent in the hangar
- Info about 0.8.4 will be "soon"
- there are no plans for new equipment (SS: such as ventilation, rammers etc.)
- some new company formats (apart from the developed 7x42) are not planned (for example limited to odd number tiers)

[Aerial]

- reworking the "expert" archievement? "no comment for now" (ss: The issue was that the devs blamed the expert medal for being a part of the reason for too much arty, as it is generally easier to archieve expert medal with artillery)

[Wannamama]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5F8WUFgHnAI


- arty nerf (nothing new there, same reasoning as before)
- tier 8 arty will (SS: generally?) go to tier 10 but its stats won't improve, it will stay as it is now
- SerB doesn't think there will be too many changes in the tier 8 arty gameplay when it gets transferred to tier 10
- not much more about the arty nerf, WG doesn't want the arty running around in TD mode
- SU-26 got nerfed because it became imbalanced
- the hardcap is 5 and not 3 in order to avoid problems with the MM
- no battles without arty planned
- light tanks plague won't be handled specially, because gameplay of light tanks isn't that specific from other vehicles
- Chinese tanks didn't come out with an arty branch because it's not yet formed, Chinese partners are looking into the arty and TD vehicles

[unSki]

- SU-26 got nerfed because it became imbalanced

Profites en Keulz ! :)

Ah merde, j'ai lu su-26 et nerf dans la même phrase :p

[Aerial]

Encore un" arty nerf" annoncé ?

[fenrhir]

Non, ils disent juste qu'ils vont pas revenir sur celui qui a été fait.

[Raoul Wolfoni]

Comment ça s'est passé jusqu'à présent quand ils ont transféré des tiers 8 en tiers 10 ? Ca ajoute de l'XP à grinder ou ils répartissent l'XP sur plus de niveau ?

En gros, est ce que je dois me dépêcher de débloquer une arty tier 8 ou est ce que ça ne changera rien à l'xp nécessaire ?

[Jalkar]

l'xp nécessaire pour chopper une arty T8 est égal à l'xp nécessaire pour chopper un tank T10 donc ils diminueront l'xp entre les tiers intermédiaires.

[Aerial]

Non, ils disent juste qu'ils vont pas revenir sur celui qui a été fait.

Bon.

Parce que j'ai ressorti mon GWTiger pour tester un peu ce nerf... 3 kills, plusieurs tirs directs, un blindshot anti-arty réussi derrière une maison avec pas loin de la moitié du cercle sur le toit, top xp...


Bref, les bonnes artys sauront (Mordor) s'adapter.

[fenrhir]

Bref, les bonnes artys sauront (Mordor) s'adapter.Bah, quand on regarde le nerf, ça concerne :
- leur survivabilité (genre, -25%HP dans les dents),
- leur mobilité, donc leur survivabilité et leur capacité à jouer en TD.

Après, à part quelques ajustement individuels et un très léger nerf de RoF pour pas mal (genre .8 sec sur un F3M, c'pas la mort), leur capacité à faire pleuvoir la mort reste la même.
Le plus chiant restant surtout le MM modifié, qui te fait attendre longtemps...

17.1.2013

- the buffs and nerfs are implemented on the server side, but the mechanics are copied into the client, so there are no server-client prediction issues
- there were turrets, in which the guns could be adjusted not only vertically, but also horizontally without moving the turret itself (for minor corrections), these however won't be implemented into the game
- IRL when the turret rotates, the engine RPM increases, but this won't be implemented into the game
- TD SU-76BM? "no comment" (SS: there was an icon of this vehicle in one of the earlier patches, it's a failed TD project that basically had the properties of SU-76, only with closed compartment)
- current repair costs of tier 7-8 arty will transfer to tier 9-10 arty "if necessery", more arty nerfs might come if needed, nerfs seem to be the most effective way to deal with the arty issue
- the Chinese LT branch won't be changed from how it is now
- the MS-1 engine is heavier than the engine of the Maus (despite vast power output difference) simply because it was very bad
- detailed data on what arty will be switched to what tier during the tier 10 arty implementation will be released later, but it is not sure, what arty vehicles will be implemented where, it's even possible that everything from tier 3 up will get kicked on tier up and new tier 3 vehicle will be implemented
- the devs do have the data about vehicles only in garages (eg. not played), but those are generally not used for anything
- Q: "Dear developers, does WoT generate so little profit that you have to reduce the profitability of the tanks?" A: "Dear players, do you play so bad that you have to imagine the profitability drops all the time?"
- tank popularity is only one of the secondary parameters, when considering how well it is balanced
- bigger maps and more players per battle? "When the project is ready, we'll implement it"
- 8.4 test will bring new company and platoon garage interface
- Q: "You implemented an OTM mod analogy into the game, do you plan to implement other popular mods' analogies?" "Not the popular ones, the necessery ones"
- currently, the XP prices of "blind" Chinese modules (SS: unused in any other tank) are not being reviewed
- there might be an increase of the role the radioman and radio module play in battle
- mods won't be configureable from within the game client (SS: apparently because of cheats)
- Q: "So far, there are regular vehicles in the game to unlock the next tier and premium vehicles for farming, will there be any 3rd type of vehicles?" A: "no comment for now"
- the implementation of "hull" modules (as it is in WoWp) (SS: sorry, never played WoWp, how does it work?) - yes, but it's technically very difficult so they didn't start to implement it yet
- Sherman engine wouldn't fit into the engine compartment of the Stuart
- 47mm Type 1 gun on the Chinese Stuart is so good because it has good ballistic properties (SS: a player asked whether it is charged with the samurai spirit)
- sometimes, in lowtier battles, it can happen that one team is full of tier 2 tanks and the others has for example 4 tier 1 tanks, this doesn't happen often, it's not desirable though - it happens when MM decides the team differences are acceptable
- SU-76(i) won't be introduced instead of SU-85(i) (but rather along with it), tier is not yet decided, it's likely it will be a promo/gift tank
- the Leopard 1 in the game will be an "early model", it will be shown later
- crewmember models will not be introduced
- for the bombardier archievement, damage done by setting a vehicle on fire does not count
- no info on possible replacement of Lorraine (because it underperforms steadily) - probably just a rumor
- after ricochet, a shell loses cca 10 percent of its penetration
- 7/42 company mode: opposing team will be selected at random (as it is now in companies), it might be possible to select the map played (this is unclear, SerB's answer "Иногда" can be interpreted as "sometimes", but also as "some other time" - any Russian speaker can confirm?), it's unclear what the top allowed arty tier will be - "we'll see", it's not clear whether it'll be implemented in 8.4 along with the new player selection interface
- the 59-16 tank top autoloaded gun penetration (85mm PEN) is okay according to the devs ("should it be improved by magical Chinese kung-fu?")
- there was an idea to introduce tier 1 arty - was refused
- Q: "If there comes a time when not a single tank will need a buff/nerf in the next patch, will that mean the end of the game?" A: "It's the other way around - the end of the game means that not a single tank needs a buff or nerf in the next patch"

Pas de TDs anglais au prochain patch:


No, 8.4 won't contain British TDs, tho there will be some other British tanks.

Tiens mais j'y pense, avec cette histoire d'arty T10, yaurais pas un autre nerf caché ?
A savoir, pour le calcul des xp gagnés, quand tu tires sur du Maus (par exemple), tu gagnes plus en étant T8 que T10...
Du coup, le grind serait quand même plus long au final.

[Wannamama]

18.1.2013

- the free camera mod was banned due to "game decisions" (SS: abuse), including the fact that players could watch for falling trees, destroyed objects etc. freely with such a mod
- second branch of German meds will not use the 88mm L/100 and 75mm Konisch guns
- it's possible visual upgrades for hangars will be introduced
- Chinese IS-2 has higher penetration values because of "late model shells"
- the goal the devs want to reach regarding the arty balance is 3 arties per team on all tiers
- no plans to change the Object 261 gun model (SS: some player claims it was thicker in real life and it had a muzzle brake)
- no other tanks suitable for the role of tier 5 Chinese medium have been found (SS: actually Kuomintang was using Shermans too, but they weren't implemented, because they were completely stock, they'd be a direct copy of the existing Sherman without different guns etc.)
- SerB won't disclose how teamdamage points are exactly calculated (SS: not the damage itself, but how much of what you need to get banned - this is related to the issue that TOG players keep complaining that retards actually ram them intentionally and by damaging themselves, they actually cause the TOG player to accumulate teamdamage points)
- the asterisk in the TOG 2* name is historical
- superplatoons (5 members) won't be implemented, they would be too unbalanced
- snow on the maps (like it was in the hangar during the seasonal christmas hangar event) would reduce the performance too much, for now anyway
- it's possible hitpoints will be modified for the historical battles, not yet sure
- regarding the Chinese tanks: the tier 10 heavy and medium vehicles' plans impressed SerB quite a lot, altogether these two projects roughly form an equivalent of the Soviet Object 167M (T-62B, the D-83 122mm version), the medium vehicle with its 122mm cannon and the heavy with its 68 degrees frontal armor - and all this despite the fact that the Chinese didn't know about the Soviet prototype research, they archieved it on their own (apparently, the frontal armor shape, similiar to the one of the IS-7, evolved from the IS-3 concept). Regarding the Chinese cast turret shape - there were other turrets, welded ones (to compensate for the low depression of the guns), but those came later, not in the 60's. There might even be a book about the Chinese tanks from WG. As for the T-62 similiarity, the Chinese acquired the T-62 first in 1969 during the Sino-Soviet border conflict at the Damanskij island.
- the turret rotation speed is a balance parameter, all tanks have it higher than they had in real life
- battletier of all non-premium tanks won't be lowered (SS: no idea why someone asked such a stupid question)
- SerB answers on the question how would an appearance of a T-54 tank company influence the war in 1942: "If they appeared in Ural (SS: where the factories were), positively - if they appeared on the front, German engineers could get a lot of ideas from them also"
- the armor value displayed in the tank statistics is the most characteristic one of the concerned part, usually it's also the thickest part
- tier 10 "121" does NOT equal WZ-121 aka Type 69, it's a different project and an early version at that (there is only a very weak connection between 121 and WZ-121)
- the T1E6 gun has a maximum range of 375mm (as far as SerB remembers)
- the dynamic tank naming is principially possible (but not sure to be implemented)
- it's possible that there will be a Soviet arty or TD based on the T-27 tankette implemented into the game
- two-barreled tanks might be introduced into the game, it is theoretically easier to implement than multiturret designs, but also requires some work
- machineguns (as secondary weapons) won't be implemented because it would strain the server too much, however the Soviet 12,7mm DShK will appear as a main weapon at some point most likely
- it is not planned to introduce antiaircraft (and amphibious) tanks in forseeable future (SS: regarding the possible introduction of the T-90 AA light vehicle)
- elite Chi-Ha roughly corresponds to the Japanese Shinhoto Chi-Ha


Q: Why don't you (instead of new trees) complete the old tech trees and stop putting in more nations... atleast until the "big 3" are complete with all their tds and heavys and stuff?
A: Heh, I believe they are never complete

Q: Italian tanks in the EU tree? A must!
A: Sure thing, they are.

Q: Do you plan to add more SPGs?
A: Each tree should have them. Plus there will be tier 9 and 10 SPGs. No ETA, sorry I don't do that.

Q: Have you considered the wheeled armoured fighting vehicles?
A: Nope, not considering them at this stage.

Q: 8.4 content?
A: I have checked with Storm - he says 8.4 will bring British TDs.

Q: Overlord, what about Polish branches? Is there any?
A: Polish and German communities on EU are approx equal in numbers. We will definitely include Polish tanks - however at this stage it hasn't been decided how exactly. It can either be a separate, rather tiny tree, or some substantial part of common EU tree. The same as Italy btw

Q: Do you have already the materials for the Japanese and the EU tree?
A: For Japanese - yes, for EU tree - partially. Japanese will likely come first, the way we initially announced it.

Q: On the topic of Chinese tanks being brought in...
A: Have to account of interests of varios servers and regions - RU is the largest, China is second largest, EU - 3rd, US - 4th. We also have SEA and Korea, both are growing fast. Thus most of the decisions are dictated by global vision.

Q: A rather long question

a) Japanese tanks - earlier in 2012 (nov/dec) there was an info by SerB and Storm that they managed to secure some new Japanese archive and that they still missed the plans for top tier heavies at that point. Does WG have enough data to implement top tier Japanese heavies now?
b) Polish tanks - there was an info (by SerB I believe) that he had enough data to implement tier 7,8,9 Polish tanks, is that so, or was it just the rumor?
c) Is there a candidate considered for tier 10 Polish tank (of any class, something else than the funny Lem tank), or are they still looking?
d) Is there some other candidate for tier 10 Italian tank than the M47 Patton (with the 105mm L7)?
e) Are there any hightier (7,8,9,10) Hungarian tanks available WG found about or are they still looking?

A: a) As far as I'm aware there is still not enough reference material to make up the whole tree, however our guys do know where to dig and whom to approach.
b) In my opinion, up to tier 7-8.
c) Nope, there is no such candidate. That tank was more of a joke.
d) We are not considering Patton at this stage.
e) As far as I'm aware guys haven't found those yet, however they haven't been working a lot on EU tree.

Encore un" arty nerf" annoncé ?


Non, ils disent juste qu'ils vont pas revenir sur celui qui a été fait.

Alors si j'ai bien suivi les différentes sessions (traduites en français approximatif dans la section fr du forum off européen), l'idée est de continuer avec le hard cap jusqu'à l'arrivée des arty tier 10, puis de retirer le hard cap, voir comment les choses évoluent avec le nouveau MM et nerfer jusqu'à ce qu'ils trouvent qu'il n'y a plus surabondance d'arty, le but visé étant à priori 3 arty max par équipe.

[Psychocouac]

- the T1E6 gun has a maximum range of 375mm (as far as SerB remembers)

Dur. :p

[ZeFeKa]

Toujours mieux que les 325-350 du T1 Cunningham :>

[Djezousse]

le but visé étant à priori 3 arty max par équipe.

\o/ DIEU SOIT LOUE !

[CaMarchePas]

\o/ DIEU SOIT LOUE !

3 arties par équipe c'est ce qu'ils veulent voir ingame, pas ce qu'ils vont faire. Y'aura pas de hard cap à 3 arties par équipe.

[Milyyym]

3 arties par équipe c'est ce qu'ils veulent voir ingame, pas ce qu'ils vont faire. Y'aura pas de hard cap à 3 arties par équipe.
Voila, pas de hard cap à 3 arties par équipe. Du nerf des arties jusqu'à arriver à 3 arties max par équipe (s'ils ne changent pas d'avis).

19.1.2013

- El-Halluf won't be removed from the map pool for rework
- Serene Coast is scheduled for rework (SS: in 8.4)
- it's possible low tier Chinese tree tanks such as the Carro Veloce CV-33, Japanese Ha-Go and Panzer I will be introduced
- IS-3 will most likely not be introduced as Chinese premium heavy
- the small pictures (icons) of the tank in the hangar are supposed to be made according to how the tank looked in real life
- it's possible the assault mode will have the battle time increased from 10 minutes (but unsure)
- no 105mm L/100 gun planned for the E-50M ("it looks like a fishing pole even on E-100")
- Canadians tanks - it's 100 percent sure they won't get their own tree, but they might appear in the British tree in the Commonwealth part
- T-43 icon won't be changed (SS: some player complained the gun on the icon is unhistorical)
- regarding the fact how will the Japanese Chi-Ha named when the "Chi-Ha" ingame name is in the Chinese tree already: "we'll see"
- German TD "Elefant" won't be introduced as a special vehicle (premium or otherwise) as the differences between Elefant and Ferdinand were very few
- the 75mm Konish gun for the Tiger? "not for now"
- E50M shell prices weird? "ingame economy reasons"
- accumulated XP from tanks won't be freely transferrable
- a "duel" mode (2v2) was mentioned.... (SS: really unclear, probably just a rumor - "If this is implemented - I'll let you know")
- Japanese premium tank in advance before the tree itself? (SS: like the Type was for Chinese and Matilda BP for the British) - "unclear" (as in not decided yet)
- more clan functions planned (when it's done it's done)
- the Soviet gun copy on the Type T-34 weights more than the Soviet original - it's probably just a typo in description
- no real additional details on the German TD branch (supposedly it comes after the German medium branch)
- SerB and Storm prefer to walk and to go by train, SerB has an old Moskvich in the garage and doesn't feel the need to buy a better car
- it's possible that tier 7 arty will not become tier 9 automatically, compensations for "expectations" are unlikely
- private messages within battles are unlikely, in order for the message not to interfere with the battle itself
- the rumor that WoT will move to different engine are false
- identical turrets of the Chinese IS-2? "If you don't want it, don't research it"
- there will probably be free camera in replays

[Wannamama]

20.1.2013

- special statistics for CW battles? "Possible, but not soon"
- SuperPershing was modelled after the book from Hunnicutt plus the data provided by the experts from the US WG office
- apparently the second WZ-132 engine (that differs from the stock one only by 10kg weight) is okay the way it is
- if you destroy an enemy tank without anyone spotting him (for example by firing at tracer source), it counts as if you lit it up yourself for the sake of XP award
- the platoon and company hangar interface will be changed a lot to provide better functionality
- SerB is answering players' questions voluntarily - if he gets annoyed or tired, he'll stop
- German 2nd TD branch is partially modelled already ("it's done when it's done")
- Q: "Was Jagdpanzer VII Jagergepard (http://alternathistory.org.ua/alternativnoe-sau-jagdpanzer-vii-jagergepard-germaniya) considered for implementation?" A: "Yes. No comment for now."
- regarding the implementation of more very exclusive vehicles (Panzer IV/V, A-32 - style): "If needed, we however don't focus on exclusivity"
- E-50-, E-75-based and postwar German TD's? "We won't comment that for now in order to avoid questions like "when?!" "
- In the Russian movie "Приказ: огонь не открывать" (Order: do not open fire) (about the Japanese-Soviet war), Soviets made fake Japanese tanks (http://4put.ru/pictures/max/510/1569006.jpg). SerB states that they are based on the MTLB chassis and it's hard to say what Japanese tanks are they trying to imitate.
- tank crews have 1hp, that's why almost every shot that kills a crewmember continues further (with full strength) (SS: I hope I understood this correctly)

[Infernux]

- special statistics for CW battles? "Possible, but not soon"

Euh... ok, sauf que le fichier cache contient déjà certains informations relatives à ça.

Nombre de kills en CW, de points de cap/decap etc... par char.

(SerB is in trolling mood)

- Chinese M5A1 Stuart radio module will not be compatible with the US tree, despite the fact it's basically the same radio ("Chinese tankists educate themselves with Chinese translations of the US radio operating manuals. In this hard work the American tankers can't help them in any way.")
- French B2 premium arty has the same MM as every other tier 4 arty, despite the rumors of it having "special" MM
- the Leopard 1 in the game will be the one with cast turret (http://2539.iz.piccy.info.nyud.net:8080/i7/39255b7134993a1066b7ac8434809380/4-55-943/43080064/leo1_1.jpg), not the one with the welded one (http://40bc.iz.piccy.info.nyud.net:8080/i7/bc404434c01612c16e73d4dd150ab075/4-55-943/44024556/leo1_16.jpg)
- Q: "Historical sources (Doyle) mention 80mm frontal armor on the VK4502 both Ausf. B and Ausf. A, why is it not like that in the game?" A: "Here (for the rear turret variant) we applied the Ahnenerbe technology, otherwise Germans would get rather sour" (SS: "Ahnenerbe" is one of the SerB's running jokes, he explains every German (unrealistic) buff with "Ahnenerbe magic")
- Q: "Will the tier 10 arty cost approximately the same as other tier 10 tech?" A: "We'll see"
- premium tanks don't differ from promo/gift tanks principially in anything
- Storm commenting the fact that the 8.4 patch in the RU "in development" section is scheduled for February and in the EU one for March: "both are correct"
- fog in Dragon's ridge has no masking effect
- Soviet ZIS-30 TD (57mm ZIS-2 gun mounted on the T-20 "Komsomolec" tractor) - maybe, definitely not in 2013
- M48 tank will not be replaced by M40 (SS: emphasis on "replaced", eg. M60 might appear alongside it), because "M48 is where it belongs" (SS: as in "on its place")
- Q: "When will be the German 2nd branch and German tier 8 prem medium tank?" A: "Germanlovers und Germanloverettes nicht erste post of the topic readen? Ordnung mus zajn, darum fircen tage nicht schreiben" (SS: sorry, this is just really hilarious in Russian, very hard to translate tho. The original: Немцефилен унд немцефилкен нихьт ерсте пост тема читайнен?
Орднунг мус зайн, дарум фирцейн таге нихьт шрайбен! - one of the funniest things I've ever read from SerB )
- if the tank gets destroyed by killing off the entire crew but it has HP's left, the whole crew will recieve an XP penalty for dying (SS: there was a rumor they don't)
- SerB on whether the teamdamage penalty system will be reworked: "If necessery. And we decide what's necessery."
- Q: "Why do you answer the way you do (SS: sarcastically etc.), did you see somewhere World of Warcraft, Terra and Aion developers answering questions like that?" A: "Show me the Aion, Terra and World of Warcraft design vice-president's answers, and I will think about my behavior " (SS: later SerB states he considers his way of answering normal and basically he doesn't give a damn about AION)
- (related to the previous question) Q: "You'll sing a different tune when WoT has a good competition, I'll see how you talk then" A: "Yes, we are scared of this terribly good competitior for three years already, still nothing happened, so far we are still alive" (SS: after that a bunch of troll questions and answers follow in relation to how War Thunder will kick WoWp's ass - SerB trolls for a while and then replies "If you like it so much there why are you here?")
- currently an unified menu interface for WoT, WoWp and WoWs is in development ("when it's done it's done")

On vient de voir que non... Blubby a tué une arty juste après qu'elle ait disparu, et j'ai quand même eu les dégâts de spot.

[ElviejoDragon]

Peut-être parce que tu l'avais vue avant justement ? (même si elle disparaît ensuite, tu as fourni une indication)

La trad est bonne, il dit effectivement que c'est comme si on l'aurait spotté personnellement.

Apres faut peut etre qu'un peu de temps passe entre le spot et la "disparition" effective?

[Jalkar]

Apres faut peut etre qu'un peu de temps passe entre le spot et la "disparition" effective?

ca je l'ai constaté personnellement, tu spottes une arty, elle disparait, elle se fait blindshot, si c'est assez rapide tu récupères la participation au spot.

[Ghargan]

Ouais, ca me parait logique. Faudrait reposer la question, avec la situation exacte.

Parce que en theorie je veux bien croire que c'est comme il l'a dit, genre un counter des le debut du jeu, mais dans une melee generale?

22.1.2013

- Russian server new player record is 728k at the same time
- the Tiger(P) might appear in historical battles, because one vehicle fought in real life (SS: I hope I translated this correctly)
- it's not clear whether there will be more "boss battle" events (SS: regarding the White Tiger event where 15 T-34's fought against the special Tiger P), not specifically denied however
- there will probably be no developer plan published for 2013 (Serb thinks it's not really needed)
- there is no way of detecting whether the camo bonus on the fallen tree is "working", Serb states "use common sense" (SS: it was answered earlier that the camo bonus of the fallen tree activates only when the tree hits the ground and "stops" moving - and only for the crown part of the tree)
- SerB doesn't watch WoT streams
- it is possible that the whole German arty branch might be lifter up by one tier when the tier 10 arties come (eg. new vehicles get inserted at tier 2-3), it's also possible that ALL arty vehicles might be rebalanced in connection with that
- SerB answering to a player complaining about the Chaffee not having any advantages over T71: "Neither of them has any significant advantage regarding their sum of characteristics. If there were any advantages found, the characteristics would get changed. There is no need to lobby on their behalf, we are not the US Congress."
- the devs are tracking average battle time, it's roughly 7 mins and it didn't change too much in last year
- the type of shells loaded has no influence on the vehicle's MM (SS: if you load gold ammo, you won't get worse MM)
- regarding Chinese crew radioman perks - they always apply on the person that is responsible for the radio (historically), f.x. Type 62 - the commander etc.
- Leopard 1 will most likely have the L7A1 gun (the same as the FV4202 has), it will probably fire HESH shells as gold ammo
- the chat quickcommand "ready!" is not planned for near future
- there are "several millions" of players, who play the game at least once per month, but the exact numbers aren't disclosed apart from the public PR releases
- when tier 10 arties are introduced, the XP and credit price of the whole branch unlock will be roughly the same as with the other branches
- SerB states that the players do prefer the tanks of their own nation (Russians the Russian tanks, Germans the German tanks etc.)
- it's not excluded more TOG-2-like tanks (WW1 relics, slow, lot of HP) will be introduced
- no plans to increase the crew rank beyond "Major"
- no hardcap (SS: as in maximum number per battle) planned for light tanks (because they have the same gameplay as other tanks and because SerB views the hardcap as a temporary and bad solution) - Storm earlier said there would be a solution for light tanks, but that's more along the lines of "the same amount of scouts per battle"
- according to SerB, all the server populations had their difficulties: "Americans don't like challenges, Russian servers had performance issues and the Chinese love pay-to-win".
- player rating re-work? "if we plan to do it, we'll tell you sooner or later"
- the new German medium line won't have its modules unified with other German lines, as the guns and the engines are quite different
- Q: "EU server has march for 8.4 and the RU server has february, will you troll us every month like that?" A: "Will you troll us every day by not reading previous answers and posting bullshit?"
- the Chinese tier 2 Vickers' cylindrical turret is historical
- the prepared Stalingrad map is meant for WoWp, not WoT (SS: there were rumors of Stalingrad map being prepared)

[fenrhir]

Americans don't like challenges:huh: 'core moins que les européens ? Est-ce seulement possible ?
Merci Wanna :)

[laetik]

Moi j'aime bien le :
"Chinese love pay-to-win", c'est vraiment très étonnant !

[ElviejoDragon]

Oui, mais quand il l'a tuée, elle n'était plus spottée. Or :
- if you destroy an enemy tank without anyone spotting him (for example by firing at tracer source), it counts as if you lit it up yourself for the sake of XP award
Ben tout est dans l'interprétation du "without anyone spotting it".
Parce que si elle a déjà été spottée, c'est que quelqu'un l'a fait, donc elle ne remplit plus cette condition.
Enfin je le comprends comme ça.

[keulz]

Ben tout est dans l'interprétation du "without anyone spotting it".
Parce que si elle a déjà été spottée, c'est que quelqu'un l'a fait, donc elle ne remplit plus cette condition.

Non, tu confonds avec "anyone spotted it".

[ElviejoDragon]

Je comprends ce que tu veux dire, mais je maintiens que la phrase peut être comprise de deux façons.
"if you destroy an enemy tank without anyone spotting him" pour moi signifie "si vous détruisez un char ennemi sans que personne ne le repère".

A partir de là,
- soit comme tu dis on comprend que le char ne doit pas être repéré au moment du kill ;
- soit comme je pense cela signifie que le char ne doit jamais avoir été repéré. L'exemple du tracer semble confirmer cette hypothèse (en général on tire sur un tracer sans avoir eu un visuel radar préalable).

Il faudrait plus de retours d'expériences pour le savoir. Le seul qu'on a ici est le tien, il va dans le sens de mon interprétation, mais ça demande vérification.
Note aussi que ça peut venir d'une façon de rédiger hasardeuse en anglais.

Quand tu tires sur un char ennemi invisible, est-ce que quelqu'un le repère ? :huh:

[Leucha]

Tu comprends mal Elviejo. Le terme "spotting" a trés précisément le sens de "en train d'être spotté". Ce qui donne plutôt "si vous détruiser un char que personne n'est en train de spotter", et là, qu'un tank fut ou non spotté au préalable, il tombe toujours dans la même catégorie.

[ElviejoDragon]

Grammaticalement le "without" appelle le -ing de toute façon, il est donc risqué d'en déduire qu'il indique nécessairement une action "en train de" se faire.
Mais admettons. Il me semble vain de lancer une controverse grammaticale sur un texte traduit en anglais depuis le russe. Si c'est votre interprétation qui doit être comprise, c'est bien un bug ; sinon, c'est juste que c'est mal formulé (comme semble en attester l'expérience de keulz).

[fenrhir]

si vous détruisez un char ennemi sans que personne ne soit en train de le repérerFixed, merci, au revoir.

Bordel, ne faites pas d'anglais si vous ne savez le causer, ne faites pas de stats si vous ne savez pas ce que c'est. C'est 90% du mauvais flood des forums WoT ;)

[ElviejoDragon]

Je suis traducteur mec. Tu me fais rire avec tes exemples tout droit sortis de bouquins de grammaire.
Dans le langage courant la formulation utilisée dans la liste (avec spotting tout seul) s'emploierait aussi bien pour signifier une action passée que présente.
Et encore une fois si c'est une mauvaise traduction ça ne sert à rien de débattre dessus. Surtout si l'expérience le prouve.

[Jalkar]

Faut-il vous rappeler que vous pinaillez sur une formulation en anglais d'un Tchèque qui traduit du russe?

Je suis traducteur mec. Tu me fais rire avec tes exemples tout droit sortis de bouquins de grammaire.Cool, je me démerde aussi très bien en anglais, et j'ai un pote traducteur qui m'aide à tourner 7 fois ma langue dans la bouche avant de l'ouvrir avant de disséquer de l'anglois. Pas l'air d'être ton cas.


Dans le langage courant la formulation utilisée dans la liste (avec spotting tout seul) s'emploierait aussi bien pour signifier une action passée que présente. Yep, sauf que t'étais un peu trop affirmatif, quand même.


Et encore une fois si c'est une mauvaise traduction ça ne sert à rien de débattre dessus. Surtout si l'expérience le prouve.Oui, justement, va falloir que tu m'expliques l'intérêt de ton intervention, vu que tu savais pertinemment, comme le dit Jalkar, que tu parlais d'une trad d'une trad. Du coup, arguer "blabla en langage courant", qui ne s'appliquera qu'aux parfaits anglophones... Alors que justement, l'essentiel des gens non anglophones qui l'écrivent vont le faire d'une façon plutôt scolaire... Tu vois où je veux en venir ?

Du coup, ton beau cours d'anglais de traducteur ne servait à rien, CQFD. Merci, et...

[ElviejoDragon]

Je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi pour dire que venir donner un cours d'anglais de manière péremptoire pour discuter d'une traduction de traduction n'est pas une intervention pertinente. :siffle:

24.12.2013
- Japanese tree: "when it's done it's done"
- there might be new premium arty vehicles, but not hightier ones
- SerB does play random battles on RU server, unfortunately it happens that when he appears in battle, his team goes "OMG WE GOT SERB NOW WE KILL EVERYONEOMG!!!!11111"
- ST-I won't be included in the "Lion of Sinai" medal, but it's possible Chinese IS-2 will
- there is a possibility that the field of Malinovka will be re-worked (SS: as in "made more bumpy") ("if it needs to be reworked, we'll do it")
- Q: "Will the second heavy French tank branch start from M4 (1945)?" A: "We'll see" - no info about when it'll come ("WIDID")
- the MM doesn't "prefer" any battle mode, if you have encounter and assault enabled, on average (SS: !!!!) they should be roughly equal
- SerB states that vast majority of lags is caused by ISP's, SerB advises the players to use "pingplotter" (SS: is that a word for packet tracing?)
- SerB doesn't use interface mods
- there is no difference (in splash) when the arty HE shell hits a spot near a tank and the tank is standing in water or on hard ground (SS: in other words, water does not reduce splash)
- there won't be another "Lion of Sinai"-like archievement for middle-east battles (Centurions...)
- Q: "Why won't there be a Stalingrad map? So that tollerant Europeans aren't offended?" A: "No, so idiots don't ask stupid questions such as 'why is there a map named Stalingrad in the Moscow CW province?' However, idiots will always find things to whine about."
- Chinese players do ask about more Chinese maps, but they don't ask Wargaming, they ask WG's Chinese partners
- British TD and arty branches are ready and will be introduced one after another, Chinese TD's (SS: and arty? not clear) have vehicles missing in mid tiers, the Chinese will have a TD based on the M5 Stuart that will quite possibly use its radio and engine (SS: it's basically a Stuart tank with turret removed and a 57mm gun (SU-76 style) installed in the frontal part), it's possible some other modules from other lowtier tanks will be used in the TD line also
- it's not yet decided whether and how crew perks/skill will work in historical battles
- it's possible Panzer B2 will appear in the gift shop (SS: Russian GS that is) during some special events, not guaranteed however
- (Premium) Type 59 might have its MM weight changed "if necessery"
- drawing distance (SS: NOT view range) depends on the angle and direction you are looking at (diagonally it's longer), it is however the same on all the maps
- SerB states that (Russian) players making clans with names like Totenkopf, Leibstandarte and Das Reich will not be banned straight away, because they are usually just little kiddie idiots. If they keep doing that, they get banned
- SerB is a Russian citizen - he doesn't have clear preference between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, he might write a memory book when he retires
- autoaim works on both client- and server-side, it's practically useless when the target's movement is perpendicular to yours
- confirmed: new arty pieces (when the arty branch is prolonged to tier 10) do not have to be inserted after tier 6 or 7, but anywhere really, it's also not guaranteed that the economical model (profit, costs) of current tier 8 arties will remain the same at tier 10
- the average age of WG employees is 25-30, but the developers are somewhat older
- regarding the MM, MM does not guarantee you will get the opposite vehicles of the same weight, only the total team MM weights have to match
- other ideas of arty change were considered (SS: changes in the satellite view etc), but those were deemed bad
- new decals and writings might be introduced, possibly as awards (for something)
- ammo size is generally historical, with a few balance exceptions
- Leopard 1 will have the L7A3 gun, it will have "magical" golden HE rounds (SS: earlier HESH was mentioned), that will comply with Wargaming's historical data (SS: the underlining made by SerB)
- FCM50t has the profitability comparable to other tier 8 premium tanks
- Lowe won't be replaced by another tank (SS: no idea where that came from), players won't be able to sell premium tanks for gold
- Chinese IS-2's frontal armor angle is 60 degrees, the 90mm frontal armor is historical and so is the depression
- Q: "Will there be other German post-war vehicles apart from Leopard?" A: "If you find some right ones, we'll implement them"
- Russian WoT portal has the new version of US and French trees (Changes: French - 2nd medium line is gone, US - Christie tanks are gone)
- SLI support is being developed, the number of the patch where it will be is going to be announced
- there are no plans for 2nd tier 1 tanks
- Q: "Will there be a change in the high tier battle economy?" A: "If necessery - and we define what's necessery"
- SerB would like to have a project with a clearly defined "end" (when everything is done and implemented), he states that it is unfortunately not possible
- there might be a transition from the French heavy branch to the TD branch, not clear how
- some map elements are not penetreable (for example telephone booths) because it is technically difficult to implement, but it might be implemented in the future, it's not considered critically important for the gameplay
- T-34-2 is unlikely to get buffed at this point
- it's possible Soviet IS-2 will appear as a tier 8 heavy tank

La hesh étant une HE, oui.

Je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi pour dire que venir donner un cours d'anglais de manière péremptoire pour discuter d'une traduction de traduction n'est pas une intervention pertinente. :siffle:

Tu voulais dire "perpendiculaire" non ?

(oui référence pourrie....)

[Aerial]

La hesh étant une HE, oui.

Je m'emmêle un peu les pinceaux avec toute ces munitions.... Je crois que je confond les HE, les HEAT, et les HESH.....


Tu voulais dire "perpendiculaire" non ?

Non non, "péremptoire", ça marche aussi.

De toute façon on s'en fout, on va pas casser les tréteaux :ninja:

25.1.2013

- visibility checks have the same frequency in sniper and arcade mode, they are performed by the server and the server doesn't care, whether you are in sniper or arcade mode, that's a client function
- "teleporting" and "appearing" tanks are usually caused by packet loss, Storm advises to check connection
- the devs haven't dealt yet with the issue that enemy tank silhouette is not highlited when the tank takes cover behind another dead tank wreck
- different viewpoints and targetting enemies in arcade mode that you can't target in snipermode comes from the fact that both arcade mode camera and sniper mode camera use different axis (in sniper mode the axis is identical to the axis of the gun).
- Storm will check reports of a bug that when a tank is moving behind certain obstacles (wooden fense and the wire fence in Port map mentioned), it moves jerkily, eg. "teleports" or "jumps" (but Storm thinks this is caused by some other factor, not the obstacles themselves)
- autoaim doesn't aim at the center of the silhouette, it aims at the point, around which the gun of the vehicle rotates (tanks have it in the turret, TD's in the hull).
- Russian tree on the RU server has new premium vehicles planned: SG-122 arty (basically a Panzer III hull with a 122mm howitzer), T-35 heavy, SU-76(I), SU-85I (these two will be gift tanks most likely) and ZIS-30 TD (SerB will tell whether it will be a regular or gift vehicle when it gets introduced)
- US tree has a new premium arty planned: Sexton
- French tree new premium SPG's: R35 AC and ACL135
- Q: "Why does tank A have more HP than tank B?" A: "If you give us historical amount of that tank's hitpoints, we'll correct it immediately"
- Q: "I've read two branches of British TD's are going to be implemented, will they come at the same time? What will be the second British tier 10 TD?" A: "Wait for the patchnotes"
- devs are considering new Chinese tier 8 premium tank to implement (so they don't have to sell the Type 59), they recently discovered several possible candidates, but so far no details
- SerB states that the Soviets did have turreted tank destroyers, namely the Object 416 (http://www.sg.hu/forumkepek/2012_02/enigma.jpg), based on the chassis of Object 112 (SerB states that Object 416 was a hybrid, it's possible to implement it both as medium tank and as a TD)
- the reason for ingame shell normalisation is "it's historical"
- TS-31 tank destroyer (http://sa100.ru/armor/Heavy_Tanks/5.2_files/ts_31_12.jpg) won't be implemented, there is the T110E5 already on the spot it would fit
- SerB states that the Kanonenjagdpanzer and Jagdpanzer Leopard aren't entirely appropriate for the game (because historically they were post war vehicles, but they don't really meet the criteria for hightier tanks)
- Spähpanzer Kette (respectively its prototype called RU251) will be introduced, according to SerB it will be introduced before the Leopard 1 prototype as tier 8 LT (as for how the branch will look: "You'll see") (SS: interesting, it could end up being a combined branch). RU251 won't have the 90mm Bord K gun.
- According to SerB, for now the arty nerfs do have the desired effect, not sure however if the nerfs are final
- SerB states that although timeframe is secondary when implementing a tank, vehicles such as ASU-85 are difficult to implement into branches as they don't fit
- European tree is not yet ready
- The option to install additional armor screens as an equipment is not yet ready either
- The British Mk.I tank has not yet been implemented, because the devs want to release it with both 57mm guns and not just with one, eg. required the multiturret implementation
- Russian tree and the USA tree could have 2nd arty branches, but SerB states "are you sure we need more arties?"
- no tanks have special hidden "modifiers" that increase their ramming damage
- the new LT MM won't bind the amount of LT per team to the amount of arty per team
- Q: "Where did the French AMX M4 (1949) go?" A: "Nowhere for now"
- Chinese T-34 is missing some guns from the Russian original, as those were historically not available in China
- Q: "SU-5 top mortar got nerfed too much? Explain!" A: "Oh poor, poor SU-5... *crying*"
- Physics interaction (for example Maus breaking houses, collapsing bridges by its weight...)? "We aren't too keen to have a "why does the Maus break the bridges under it" whine..."
- Christie tanks (М1919, М1921, М1931, М1932, М1935) weren't abandoned

Ha, enfin une réponse pour ce truc qui m'horripilait.

[fenrhir]

C'pas nouveau. Après, rien ne dit qu'il n'y a pas de packet losses côté serveur à cause d'une surcharge de leur réseau ou de leurs serveurs :trollface:

[Chocolouf]

C'est sûr mais qu'ils l'annoncent ça permet de dédouaner leur système de détection sur lequel je gueulais.

28.1.2013 (special)
Interview with Evily, the head of Russian community department (if I understood correctly, can't find the guy)

Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/1527906.html

- There will be more events of the type the Chinese have now ("top 100 experience"), in the future there will be XP tables too
- no additional info on the historical battles, ATM the devs are working on CW's
- the closest new mode is the garage battle, needs a lot of re-balancing (Storm adds:
- this year, the Global Wargaming League tournament is coming, it will be a mass event, it will run in seasons and the prizes will be in gold
- 10 new maps planned for 2013, part of them will be "Asian-style", part will be "city-style" á la Himmelsdorf, Stalingrad is possible (Storm adds: 11, not 10)
- there might eventually be special maps for CWs only
- 30vs30 battles are really badly playable, especially in random battles
- a system is being prepared where everyone will be able to deselect 1 map (and that's still considered according to Storm)
- Komarin won't return in 0.8.4
- Serene Coast winrate for bases is unbalanced, one has 58 percent winrate, the other 42
- Westfield assault will be remade (perhaps even removed)
- T-50-2 will be replaced in 0.8.6 (not totally 100 percent), according to Evily, first comes British TDs, then German meds, then British arty, it is confirmed the devs don't to put out too many tanks at once
- the new German med branch will start with VK3002DB (SS: as planned previously)
- T57 nerf will be discussed after 0.8.4
- tier 10 arties will come until the end of summer
- one more medium branch for the US confirmed
- French medium and heavy 2nd line not planned for 2013
- Japanese tanks don't have priority atm, so that's until the end of the year
- Japanese hightier tanks are "rolling coastal defense fortresses", they had tanks planned with 150mm, 200mm, 280mm guns
- regarding the FV215b TD: confirmed ("a 180mm gun based on the FV215b vehicle"), but the HT FV215b stays, after the TD comes, the devs will see, they have a good replacement tank drawings. Devs are not happy with the FV215b performance.
- there will be hightier premium meds for all nations
- premium WZ-111 heavy tank will be on the EU server a bit later
- T23 will most likely become a tier 6-7 premium tank
- SU-100Y will cost as much as other tier 6 TDs
- the platoon-infested battles are not regarded as a problem
- WG will buy rights for some mods and implement them in game
- voice chat in random: no
- gold shells for credits will not be removed, the experiment was a success
- the possibility to "freeze" premium accounts won't be implemented as the premium isn't that expensive
- in order for a ban to be considered, the player has to collect 5 report tickets
- a special tank game is being developed for the pads
- national voiceovers are planned

- Q: "Is there any comprehensible explanation for why there is will be no hightier premium arty in the game?" A: "Unfortunately, our understanding of "comprehensible" is different than yours, as far as I can see." The answer is "no".
- Type 58: there is no difference in the hitbox size of various engine models
- the camo factor of a firing tank is changed at the moment of the shot, not the shell impact
- SerB considers it okay that the Chinese competition (max experience, we have it the same) can be influenced by gold shell clan platoons
- China won't have a "dead end" tier 5 scout vehicle (such as Chaffee, T-50-2, VK2801). In fact, all those scout branches ending with tier 5 will be prolonged so they don't end at low tiers
- a player reported a bug where vehicles run around with broken tracks, SerB says there is no such bug
- "Deadeye" perk doesn't affect the chance of the engine catching of fire directly, only indirectly
- SerB notes that the Chinese tier 10 WZ-111 was one of the cases where the tank had a model done, was introduced to the test server and was tested, but in the end not implemented
- if tank A has a top engine that doesn't need to be researched in order to unlock tank B and tank B has the same engine as stock, by unlocking tank B you automatically research the engine that can be used with tank A (works the same with all modules) (SS: related to the question whether by unlocking the FV215b you automatically unlock the Rolls Royce Griffon for the Conqueror)
- so far, the number of arties has decreased after the nerf, however, SerB is not yet decided whether it's enough or more nerfs will come
- IT-130 tank destroyer (SS: Basically SU-122-54 with a 130mm gun) won't be implemented in the game. SerB states that he doesn't have any data about the vehicle and that it's possible it was a misidentification of one of the SU-122-54 mutations equipped with the M-62 cannon. Either way, SU-122-54 isn't getting a new gun.
- SerB states that after the US autoloader branch introduction, there were fewer French tanks playing randoms, but only by a little
- more Kolobanov-like archievements won't be implemented into the game
- the separate statistics for random and company (CW) battles currently have extremely low priority
- Q: "Will the historical battles be a more complicated (as in complex) mode?" A: "Yes, they will be more complicated. But the level of complexity won't be simulator-like, as many here dream."
- it has happened several times that the developers made a tank model, they tested it in game and then decided not to implement it
- as for the amount of ammo carried, developers are trying to be historical, but the ammo was increased with some machines that in real life carried too few shells to last thru the game
- the developers know which celebrities are the fans of World of Tanks but they won't disclose that info
- "national voices" will be implemented (WIDID) - (Russian tanks speak Russian etc.)
- there is an "indirect" relationship between the overall HP pool of the tank and the HP of the installed modules
- tier 5 LT and tier 6 MT have roughly the same MM weight. A question was asked, since they are MM-weight-wise roughly equal, if when a tier 5 LT destroys a tier 6 MT, whether it counts as a kill of a tank that is one tier higher. It does.
