7.4.2013

- the reason a T7 Soviet premium med will be implemented is that suitable tier 8 Soviet premium medium tank was not found
- Type 59 MM spread is considered "normal"
- AMX-13 better than T71 in anything? "It's adequate complex-of-characteristics-wise"
- tier 10 arties will make the work easier for the matchmaking mechanism
- regarding the question why T-54-2 won't be implemented as Soviet T8 premium MT: "You want another Type 59? We don't." (SS: not as a Type 59 visual copy, but as another balanced medium that would flood the random battles) and "T-54-2 is not worse in any way than Type 59"
- IS-7 maximum speed buff only presents itself when the tank goes downhill (engine power was unchanged)
- test server hardware is apparently not used between tests
- Deathmatch mode is not even in long-term plans
- the devs didn't find enough materials about Leopard prototyp B to implement it. It still exists as a built prototype tank, but photographing it is forbidden for now, might get implemented if the data are found
- second round of 0.8.5 test is planned
- apparently, one of the devs answered incorrectly before (as the RU players are also confused), so: British arty is NOT planned to come at the same time as other tier 10 arty, it will come afterwards, "British arty was never planned for 0.8.6"
- plans for 0.8.6 will be officially revealed very soon
- when an artillery HE shell lands between two close standing tanks (splash), each tank gets its own HE average shell (+/-25) damage (eg the damage is not halved)

    That's retarded. We're not talking about a freaking crashed UFO ship. It's a lousy old tank ffs.

    WG should use a hidden camera in one of their coats button.

    3. Remember those two guys from Bohemia Interactive arrested for making photos of military bases on (was it?) Cyprus? No thanks.

    4. I do. I guess there is actually no good reason why this tank is under such protection except some old paper which says it has to be. Thats the answer for most weird things in our country. *g*

    5. Actually there was a thread in german section in which WG asked german community to help locating the Prototyp B.

      a lot of infos brougt to WG by the community and iirc a complete tank was located at Trier and a turret at koblenz. i think at BAAINBw which is part of the german ministry of defence.

      but it is fully possible:) SerBs "Charme" didnt work with german bureaucracy

    6. Those two guys from Bohemia Interactive were arrested here in Greece for taking photos of an borderline island military base. The island was Limnos.

    7. Yeah, I've noticed Greece takes their security way too seriously considering we can view said bases using Google Earth.

    8. @UP indeed. + someone REALLY interested can use spy satellites.

      You cannot be surprpised in the end ultimate answer about E-50 and E-75 cannot be resolved because blueprints are still secret. If they do not make WWII projects public why should they make 60s projects public?

      Delete
    9. And here I was under the impression the E's didn't HAVE blueprints made in the first place...

    10. They didn't, just a bunch of theoretical (partial) drawings, which definitely are not secret, as they were published for example in Doyle's Panzer Tracts (20-1)

  3. some of these comments kinda need the question that was asked for context...


    if the answer is: Type 59 MM spread is considered "normal"

    what's the question?

    1. The points in my post aren't exact translations, more like summaries of (sometimes several) questions and answers. In this case, the argument was whether Type 59 is not overpowered for its reduced MM. The whole summary was that its MM is normal eg. fine.

    Nice, I hear German Tier Ten Heavy, thats what I hear, with RHA armor or whatever is suitable for balancing and historical accuracy.

    You just made my day Serb.

    Thank you.

  5. german link for leopard prototype development:
    http://www.fahrsimkette.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=5&Itemid=8



    I personally would LOVE to see the Borgward leo prototype C as a
    T10 "endgame" tank :)
    "Amx 13/90-style" Leopard with 1500 HP engine, 80 km/h topspeed and a L7A1 gun anyone?

    2. Didn't SerB once quip the thing wasn't "for the faint of heart"? :P

    3. They know exactly what their doing, If he said that or even something like that, Its coming.

      Now that I think about it, Isnt it perfect marketing? Get the Medium out ther, use up all your XP, give us a balanced Tier Ten.

      Brilliant really. They just have to make it inferior but usable to all the German fanatics, lmao.

      Brilliant, trully brilliant.

    4. *shrug* It looks kinda like it'd be a Tier Ten ELC on crack. Not *necessarily* unviable, but *definitely* rather "out there". (challengeaccepted.jpg)

      Would probably have a pretty nutso native camo factor tho', what with that low-rider hull and teensy-tiny turret. Gundep looks like the shittiest thing that ever was OTOH.

  6. sorry but that looks like a stupid horse cart or something. and i thought russians made retarded designs.

  7. I like the thought process as well on the Russ Med. Premium at Tier 8.

    It would be the Wolf Packs all over again. I like those days myself, learend the value of tracking...........lol.

    But nice to see some thought planning going on.

    As usual the dev is avoiding a straight answer to the question.

  10. Oh what the hell and I was looking forward to British arty... What a bummer...well at least the tier 10 extension is happening in 8.6. if nothing else. Getting tired of having to grind tier 9 standards of experience to unlock a tier 6 arty (that has the same gun as the tier 5 arty did...yeah I'm looking at you French!). Hopefully they don't screw up the MM distribution.

  12. There is a semi-acceptable tier 8 soviet tank, a "T-54 lightened", which was lighter version of T-54 with 80/60/40 hull and 150/100/60 turret armor, but my guess is that They are actually keeping it for tech tree.
