3.3.2013
- Vickers Mk.I was not, is not and will not be considered for tier 8 premium British tank
- more than 3 types of shells per vehicle are not considered for now
- one of the "canonical" Japanese Ho-Ri variant pictures has 7 roadwheels - SerB is not sure if it's an error or a different chassis (Chi-To)
- no league MM planned (SerB states it's not technically difficult, but not needed)
- it's possible that the HEAT mechanics will be modified so that the gap between armor screen (spaced armor) and the main armor has more effect (SS: if I understood this correctly)
- Q: "Why is the E-50 gun gold round of the 88 L/100 of the E-50 more expensive than the E-75 gold shells?" A: "Because the Ahnenerbe had to transport not only the gun from the future, but also each round for it"
- special rewards for top 5-10 server clans are not planned for now
- new modes will come in time (SS: by this, historical and garage battles are meant most likely)
- the AMX ELC change (hull lock possibility removed) didn't make it to patchnotes, as stuff gets forgotten sometimes
- the "cap" plate above the IS-4 mantlet is not a part of the hitbox, any shots at it pass thru it into the roof behind it
- post-battle chat? "it's possible" (SS: wtf? didn't SerB deny it yesterday on Riddit)
- company and random statistics will be separate in the future, platoon and random won't
- so far there is no official opinion on XVM (whether it's bad or good)
- the tank drifting is okay as it is according to devs
- in 0.8.4, the limit 72km/h was lifted, Storm states there are still issues (namely with shell penetration during high speeds), but these issues are so rare they decided to lift the limit
- no additional penalty for drowning will be implemented, as the amount of drowners after implementing full repair costs for drowning dropped substantially
- there are no plans to actually implement damage from battle into the replay filename
- British 6-pdr guns were analogical to the Soviet 57mm ZIS-4 when it came to penetration abilities
- railways on all maps will be made lower (so the tank doesnt rock too much)
- Storm doesn't think the British TDs are overpowered
- Christie tanks will definitely not come in 2013
- Ola got promoted, she doesn't have time anymore (for public WoT appearances)
- it is already decided, what comes in 0.8.5, devs are working on it right now, it will be (also) something else than just a branch of tanks
Also, a player named Bersrk wrote a few articles on WoT Wiki (in Russian) of alternative German TD's. It's unclear, how authentic the module statistics are:
Marder III
Nashorn
Sturer Emil
Ola ke ase?
ReplyDeleteTroleando o ke ase
DeleteSo there are changes to the ELC planned?
ReplyDeleteAs it is stated in text above.. they've removed the option to lock the hull with "X" button
DeleteHajvanho
Oh thanks, for enlighten me.
DeleteI thought they wanted to give the ELC the ability to turn the turret 360°. (It would chop the drivers head off)
If I recall correctly, the elc's turret could do a 360 only while standing still, and not at all if moving.
DeleteYes, if i remember correctly, this was possible in RL because the driver and the commander are both in the "turret". Would have been interesting if it was in the game.
Deletethanks God for those rails modification.. maps like Port were a real pain in the neck :|
ReplyDeleteHajvanho
The problem isn't the rails thou, its how WOT handles suspension or lack of one.
DeleteActual tanks wouldn't rock at all as each individual wheel would rise and lower as it passed over the rail.
Serb with his "Ahnenerbe" thing. :S
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe we get the promised surprise in the update. 8.5 :D
- Vickers Mk.I was not, is not and will not be considered for tier 8 premium British tank
ReplyDeleteSo, WG, how about you introduce it as a tier 10 medium tank, then? Telling us what it isn't going to be is pointless.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIf the speed limit is lifted ,then maybe there is a chance for the M-18 Hellcat to have it´s historical speed :)
So BT-2 too :p
DeleteBT-2 reached its top speed in road and with tracks removed, using only wheels.
DeleteAbout the 2nd german td line article.So they'll be an empowered Td line.I mean, look at the Nashorn(tier 6 with 2nd jgpanther gun..long 8.8) and the Sturer(tier 7 with ferdi last gun).
ReplyDeleteIt's actually Jagdtiger's last gun(long 128mm) not Ferdi's :) On the other side whole line is pretty underarmored compared to the 1st line..
DeleteNot to mention that both are historically accurate. But wasn't Sturer Emil suppose to be tier VIII?
DeleteNo, that would be the Waffentrager Panther.
DeleteWell, tier 8,9 and 10 are taken by the waffens so, seems it wont be tier 8.Anyway, I'm glad we'll finally have some german tanks with really good guns for their tier.
DeleteWell, the courent stats of the 12,8cm PAK are from the one on the JT, BUT the Sturer Emil had another 12,8cm PaK, with exact the same length, as the one of the JT, and less pen. Around 201mm pen if I recall it right.
Delete-But I'm waiting for it long, too :D
(20km/h of doom with out armour and 15° gun depression)
http://www.manufaktur.dk/panzer271206.jpg DAT GUN DEPRESSION!!!
DeleteAlso wiki says 25km/h :)
"- Ola got promoted, she doesn't have time anymore (for public WoT appearances)"
ReplyDeleteNoooooo! :(
WTF? Do they seriously believe that I'll keep playing this game without seeing Ola promoting it? Did they become completely crazy!?
DeleteVickers Mk.1 won't be a tier 8 premiun.Wtf, is there another Vickers Mk1 except the tier 1 british medium tank?
ReplyDeleteDidn't found anything on google, please, someone enlighten me....
Vickers MBT Mk 1, which was used as Vijayanta by India.
DeleteIf that Sturer Emil remains as it is now on that wiki site it's gonna be one hell of a fun TD :D Yea it will have really bad armor for a T7 but that gun is gonna rock!!
ReplyDeleteWell, it will have less pen and carry around 20 shells ;)
DeleteIt's also large, it's a extended Vk30.01(H) chassis.
To summarize:
cons - large, low armour, open top, just a few shells
pros - !gun! (average pen , high dmg), 15° gun depression, maybe high mobile
- Storm doesn't think the British TDs are overpowered
ReplyDeleteSo... These days it is ok to have artillery gun without arty mode on a tank... Great, and with better accuracy and penetration. Never thought about having O261 gun mounted on tank, but having 275 penetration with extra splash for nonpenetration makes it the icing in the cake.
Thank you Storm and SerB for playing your own game... I think they have never played nor being on the wrong end of barrel...
Those stats on the wiki have been there over a year and are only partially based in reality. Notably the top gun on the Sturer Emil is wrong, it's not going to get the JagdTiger gun but a modified flak gun with around 202mm penetration.
