28.5.2013

A lots to translate today, but first, thanks to Cubayashi for gold donation :) Much appreciated.

The official 0.8.6 public test will start this Thursday (May 30th)

From player Taifuuni, a demonstration of how the new dispersion in 0.8.6 will look like:

Edit: to prevent confusion, disregard the "scales", they don't represent the circle size, but sigma deviation. Unless you really want to bother with statistics, consider them two same circles.

0.8.5

0.8.6


- SerB has roughly 50 vehicles in his garage and it takes him 5 seconds to sort thru it
- 5.1 sound is not yet implemented into the new sound engine, but it is planned, along with the 7.1 sound
- echoes from distant explosion/cannon fire (for example in valleys) will be implemented eventually
- better sorting of the archievements will be implemented eventually, but it has very low priority
- some vehicles have AAMG and some don't (resp. Type 58 doesn't have it), because "machinegun model consists of too many model details (SS: SerB said specifically "triangles", I am pretty sure there is an English term for what he meant: is it "vectors"?)
- the E-100 turret was moved in 0.8.6 30cm forwards, because it's historical
- German E-10 ingame will be implemented as a TD, not LT
- SerB doesn't consider the "In development" section necessery
- arty won't recieve bigger firing angle than 45 degrees (SS: a player was asking, whether it is possible to implement the arty to be able to hit a certain target using two different trajectories - one for below 45 degrees and one for above 45 degrees elevation)
- according to SerB, the best account protection is using your brain, for example not using "password1234" as your password
- fog of war was considered for random battles, but it won't be implemented for now, same goes for companies
- Q: "SerB, how is it possible you have so many battles played, yet your effectivity sucks?" A: "That's because I prefer to improve in real world and to only have fun and relax in the virtual one. Which is something I recommend to you too."
- according to SerB, there are no server-side cheats (SS: for example someone advertised a cheat for instant aiming)
- SerB was banned only once in WoT, it was a trolling from someone
- it's possible that the T69 gold ammo (300 pen) penetration will be nerfed (despite the fact SerB claims that the 300 pen is historical)
- the crew national voices might still appear
- the E-100 turret move forward does not mean improved depression or elevation
- SerB is playing the VK4502 Ausf.B (30k XP left to Maus) and is happy with its gameplay
- historically, ST-I shouldn't even have the M62-T2 gun, eg. it's pointless to compare its ROF to IS-8 (SerB is joking about replacing the gun with the historical D-30)
- it's generally possible the ST-II (ST-I with twin-linked D-30) will be introduced, because the twin-linked gun mechanism is easier to introduce than for example multiturret mechanism. However don't think it will simply have double ROF, that would be way too OP. Another historical option would apparently be two D-10T guns.
- SerB is thinking (SS: but only thinking, no panic!) about removing the top IS-4 gun (because it's unhistorical) and buffing the shells of the other one.

  2. "SS: SerB said specifically "triangles", I am pretty sure there is an English term for what he meant: is it "vectors"?"
    Triangles is a very correct term for what he meant.
    He was talking about the triangles (3-sided polygons) that make up the mesh of the 3D model.

    1. Triangels would be very wrong in that case as you are implying tetrahedrons referring to a three dimensional mesh made up off four triangular shapes.

      Delete
    2. Triangles per second is a common benchmark for video cards and the basic unit used to make the rest of the shapes. The more complex the model, the more triangles are used. Have yet to see a benchmark showing tetrahedrons per second...

    3. Correct and more generic term is "faces". But yes, they are normally triangles because triangle is always convex and there are less special cases to handle.

      Gosh, have people already forgot the basics of 3D graphics?

      Delete
    4. This is the 21st Century so I suspect so...

      Delete
    5. This limitation isn't likely due to rendering, but some other manipulation of the models.

      My suspicion is that they do intersection tests against the models and this would be significantly more expensive with high polygon counts.

      Delete
  3. *** (SS: SerB said specifically "triangles", I am pretty sure there is an English term for what he meant: is it "vectors"?)***

    Triangles is perfectly fine in this context (3D modelling terms), but you could also use 'polygons'.

  4. What SerB probably meant was "polygons". Those are the limiting factor in animation.

    10. Well, this may be an account for the public. (Now I can't check it, due to gateway timeout). Probably he has an alt account - either with even more matches played with jerries or with some other nation.

    The usual term is polygons, defined by 3 vertices (defined by a vector ;) )
    So: No AAMG because too many polygons would decrease rendering performance.

    In English, they're poligons. The vast majority of 3D models are made with these.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. but commonly, triangles are the most basic of polygon measurement.

      A loltraktor fully upgraded with the 2cm breda is 5901 triangles.

      A 59-16 with stock turret and gun has 9055 triangles, while an upgraded turret + stock gun has 10819 triangles.

      all these figures are taken from WoT Tank Viewer, so i'm not really sure, but i'm sure it's almost the same if you take the models into a 3D editing program.

  12. have you noticed:

    there are different scales on the shell distrbution graphs.

    Basically they are the same, because othe lower one is twice as big in scale in every direction.



    Can you provide us two similar scaled pictures?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. ... or is WG maing fun of us, providing us with imaginary changes? :)

      Delete
    2. The scale is standard distributions, a.k.a. sigmas. Currently the distribution of shots is limited to within 1.3*sigma of the center. In 8.6 it will be increased to 2.0*sigma which will lead to an increase in overall accuracy (for why this is, see Wikipedia or a statistics textbook).

      Delete
    3. It's still a tighter grouping.

      Note: The top one's distribution is marked via scale out to 1 unit, but the distribution actually extends beyond it to roughly 1.3-1.5 units. Additionally, there are many more shots clustered at the perimeter, meaning that shots would have gone even further astray, but minimum bounds kept them limited to x distance from the centerpoint.

      Here's my crude efforts with MS Paint. I'm sure someone with GIMP or PS and access to actual layering could do better...

    4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gaussian_2d.png Hotter means more probable. Pre 8.6 aiming circle is scaled to meet yellow band, so hittin border is little less probable than hitting center. In 8.6 this will end scaled to aquamarine, so difference in probability between center and border will be bigger, as red is way more hotter than blu.

    4. Just the other day i met Tiger II with 10,5 sitting at stupid open position in my IS-3(t8 battle only) i was hull down so i was quite confident of taking him on but what do you know, every single round he fired was prem(pened in the front of the turret multiple times + there were 3 other tanks he can fire upon with much less armor than me)... of course his efficiency was about 300.
      Hmm.. that satisfaction of killing him was so sweet Noobs will be noobs no matter what they fire but sometimes it can ruin your day when you dont expect it... too bad you cant restrict gold ammo only for challenging situations(fighting tank 2 tiers higher, 3 on 1 "fair fights" and so on..)

    Replies
    1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gaussian_2d.png Hotter means more probably. Pre 8.6 aiming circle is scaled to meet yellow band. As you can see, yellow is not especially colder than red. In 8.6, they 'll scale it to aquamarine. So hitting border will become way less probable than hitting center, and accu is increased.

  16. The dispersion graphs are nice, but a little misleading since they are not on the same scale.

  17. About hits dispersion: Look closer at both pictures. xDist yDist graduation indicates that new system could be not that cool. Second aiming circle is almost twice bigger! Am I correct or maybe miss something?

    Replies
    1. The graph doesn't represent the aiming circle, it's the amount of dispersion within the aiming circle. The aiming circle stays the same from 8.5 to 8.6 with the exception of SPG's.

    2. Just wrong word. Ok: "hit zone", happy? Second hit zone is almost twice bigger. Pictures have a different scale. Not comparable in simply look.

  19. Sorry, this is off topic but I am not sure where else to put this.
    I saw the pc gamer with the WoT guide in it the other day. First off at £9.99 it is bloody expensive.
    The main reason I write this is because the magazine claims a free tier VII tank for new players, but on the back it claims it is a tier VII Tetrarch! Have I missed something. Are wargaming trying to pull a fast one, or is it just a typo. However I have seen no effort on either pc gamer or wargaming to correct it.
    Sorry if this has already been answered, but it caught my eye.

    7. Well, you're right... guess we'll never know for sure. What I experienced is that a lot of Soviet guns are hideously inaccurate.

    8. Well its true that this thing has power to make kv-1s even more op couse only thing that balanced it out was number of missed important shots(you miss a shot, dont kill the enemy, they swarm you and kill you before you reload...).
      But it will hopefully help even the accurate tanks as that 20% of shots on edge of aim circle can kill your chance of hitting that weakspots when you need it.
      So for accurate guns this will buff mostly good players who knows where to aim(really excited about that, less dependance on rng is always good). But derpier tanks with high pen will be buffed for everyone:(...

      Furthermore why shouldnt kids be able to spend money on the game. Most of them dont pay by themselves but their parents pay for them.

    4. I meant number of players not WR...
      With that kids issue from my experience kids like to do "fun"(read stupid for team) stuff more often than adults(not saying that none are good) and most kids dont have rich parents that would be willing to pay monthly for their game(+ buying prem tanks and thats quite expensive..) from where i come they either play completely free games or just pirate what they can... adults value their time much more so they spend money on wot.
      Anyway kids werent the point. Point was that that good players also pays for this game not only noobs..
      Btw: Yeah efficiency sucks.. too bad that xvm still knows only Wn6(and noobmeter rating is cool aswell)

    7. I'm physically disabled too(can only move my hands) and I have 169 tanks...and it is not as easy for me either. You can get more tanks, maybe you just need some adaptive technology to help you. Also I understand you wanting people to understand what it's like being disabled, but you of all people should know not to wish disability on anyone.

  32. - it's generally possible the ST-II (ST-I with twin-linked D-30) will be introduced, because the twin-linked gun mechanism is easier to introduce than for example multiturret mechanism. However don't think it will simply have double ROF, that would be way too OP. Another historical option would apparently be two D-10T guns.

    I imagine the simplist way to do this would be to use a 2 shot drum mechanic. It would be similar to the MTLS-1G14 that was on the test server but was never released. It was a drum fed burst fire double barrel.

  34. Firing angle is not the same as elevation angle.

    In arcade mode you can shoot even directly upwards if correctly positioned, but of course precise aiming is virtually impossible.

    In strategic mode, the automatic elevation system always chooses the trajectory with angle below 45°.

    Only real use of +45° elevation in the SPG (that I can think of) is that you can stand on forward slope and still have full firing range (i.e. still have +45° firing angle relative to level ground).

  35. Kinda interesting Trent. Then whats the point of changing Elevation Arc? Look at wiki for T92:

    http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/T92

    Max +45 elevation.

    And I'm pretty sure, that some arties can use better angles than others. Example? S-51 or SU-14 Wiki:

    http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/S-51
    http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/SU-14

    And "New" screen of S-51 gun:
    http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B43FMjyEqRQ/UZFrOclas1I/AAAAAAAAA4c/m4dgL3gDJA4/s1600/s513.jpg

    And I don't say it simply because I see this numbers. I played S-51, SU-14 and many other arties. When I was playing S-51 and SU-14 I had impression that those arties have better angles too. Why? Because comparing them to other arties which I played, I had a feeling I could hit targets easier (targets, that are behind some cover or use some slopes for cover).

    I hope also, T92 can be so much inaccurate and/or hard to play, that they can improve this Elevation Angle. I would be really happy, coz I own T92 myself...

  36. I imagine all those "boundary" shots on first pic are from the french guns...

  38. Triangles is the correct term. 3d Models are basically made of triangles.

  39. Any information about Big and Heavy Part 3 special, like in date, nation, tanks?

  40. - it's possible that the T69 gold ammo (300 pen) penetration will be nerfed (despite the fact SerB claims that the 300 pen is historical)

    You want realism? Join the army, serb.

  41. The elevation angle over 45 only helps when firing from a down-slope.

    Yes, because - for example - S-51 and GW Panther shooting at the same distance will have different firing angles (with S-51 having a better one), even though they have the same max elevation angle.

    Buffing elevation angle - if leaks are correct - seems to be mostly a cosmetic change ("historical reasons" or something like that).
