Storm on 0.8.6 part 2

Here are a few of the answers Storm has given in comments under the earlier article from today (I hate backediting posts, so I'll just make this new one):

- Storm has checked the test hit rate statistics. All vehicles (except for arty) improved their hit percentage by cca 5 percent.
- devs are still thinking about removing the sniper mode reticle shake after shooting
- the new tank being hit sounds have cca 50/50 feedback, about half of the players like it, half don't
- the "exploit" with shooting from behind two bushes will stay too, but the fix was already developed and will soon be implemented
- Superpershing nerf is still not decided
- tests stats do not confirm the opinion of some players that arty was in fact buffed, both arty hitrate and damage went apparently down
- the new sounds of engines, shots etc. won't come soon, but WG is working on it
- it's not easy for the developers to change the date of test server patches, as the test server patch publishing has huge inertia
- the changes in some vehicles' camo factor are connected with unification of the camo factor counting metod on all the vehicles, based on their size - earlier, some vehicles had illogical camo factor, not corresponding to their size
- devs are discussing the implementation of another spall liner function: increase the saving throw of crewmembers and internal modules from arty HE shells by 20-30 percent
- the game crashes in research tree have been fixed in 0.8.6
- according to Storm, the French premium arty wasn't nerfed

    1. Doesn't turning off dynamic whatever it is get rid of it?

      Delete
    2. Yeah, but turning off the dynamic camera will make your gun shake on bumps/railways.
      As it is now is 50% good 50% bad.
      You choose.If you want a stable gun on the move or a stable gun.on shooting.

      Delete
    3. Truly... i prefer this option off, I rarely get situations where i need to shoot when crossing the railroad or other bumpy terrain as i often just stop to shoot with better aim while very often i do get "exchange fire" situations where dynamic camera simply puts me in disadvantage because of shaking.

    4. I love the reticle shake. It's rather immersive. New sounds are appreciated for the same reason.

    5. Nope, not Serb, just average 1900 wn7 guy...

      Anyone who pens you on those spots from pic are lucky noobs with high pen guns(225+25%rng), generally its just a visual and if you are trying to duke it out with extra precise at-7 or e-75 with 12,8 you are doing something wrong anyway....

      Delete
    6. Those pen on from pic are only visual not "real"(just penetrated spaced armor not the one bellow)

      This is actually pretty accurate. If tank has spaced armor there can be holes in armor but that doesn't mean the SP took damage. There are holes even if you hit some part of the tank where hitbox doesn't recieve damage but only module gets destroyed. And it's a premium tank, nobody forced you to buy it so stfu and quit QQing

    This would be relevant information if the test server represented live server game conditions, which it does not. It's not even close.

  5. >devs are discussing the implementation of another spall liner function: increase the saving throw of crewmembers and internal modules from arty HE shells by 20-30 percent

    oh wow so now they finally think about giving its original purpose...

    but 20-30% is a joke, spall liner should completely negate none penetrating HE damage to crew (im not talking about damage to the tank itself), its already a huge burden for many tanks, especial when they talk about the XL spall liner that will come for many heavy tanks.

    The normal heavy spall liner already as 1T the XL is supposed to be even heavier.

    Hell I completely would change how the spall liner would work ->
    *negate the whole HE seep though damage to crew
    *only slightly reduce HE damage to tank itself (half it from what it is now 15% max for XL)
    *reduce weight by 1/3 for all version.

    No its specific tool to address one specific issue (crew damage), is not so much burden to tank itself but still requires a trade off (you already lose one slot for using it).

    There planed implementation is as useless as the current one. Its a waste of credits and weight.

  6. When it comes to "logical" camo factor, i wished they implement the difference between low-flash German gunpowder and high-flash gunpowder that allies used. It would be logical and historical ;) .

    1. But by the end of the war pretty much all of them were using low flash, so that's kinda negated ;)

  7. " tests stats do not confirm the opinion of some players that arty was in fact buffed, both arty hitrate and damage went apparently down"

    Ofcourse arty damage went down, arty is now hightier, and because of that they can do less damage..an S-51 facting T10 tanks can do more damage then a S-51 facing T5 tanks. just because there is less HP on the field.

    Does one really have to spell out everything for the devs?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. S-51 will be T7, so it won't be matched against T10's.

      But beyond that, your argument makes no sense since you contradict yourself. Care to spell it out for us?

      DeathMongrel

      Delete
    2. S-51 facing T5 is kinda worst case scenario for the arty.
      Sure, heavy are still slow, but mediums and TD's are so much faster then Tier9/10.

      Delete
    3. Pretty sure, if arty oneshots tanks that means that not all damage from shell was utilizied, when arty shots tank and take 30%, 50% or 70% it means that all damage potential from shell was utilized. So, arty with lower MM weight, oneshoting everything on 0.8.6 battlefield will make less damage than that same arty with higher MM weight only damaging tanks on 0.8.5 battlefield.
      So it's means either Storm is lying making some rhetorical figure trying fool players or he didn't know mechanics of his game.

      Delete
    4. Okay here we go again

      8.5: S-51 meets T7-10 Tanks
      8.6: S-51 meets T5-9 Tanks
      That means is's absolutely logical that the average damage goes down, as usually T5 tanks have less HP then T10 tanks, hence artillery can't do much damage because there is less potential damage to do in the gma.e

      Delete
    5. Its pretty clear what he means, S51 now can face T10 tanks -> more HP more damage.
      8.6 S51 can only face T9 max, but often is Top tank with T7 and therefore only low Hp tanks are in game. -> less avg damage.

      Delete
    6. Yes, buuuuut....

      Lower Tier tanks = less armor = greater chance to Pen than higher Tier tanks = greater potential chance for damage = .....

      DeathMongrel

      Delete
    7. Doesn't really matter a none penetrating hit from a S51 on a T10 can range from 500-1000dmg and penetrating up to 2300dmg, so basically 2-4xT5 tanks or 1,5-2,5 T6 tanks.

      Even when you kill lets say 4 tanks in a T7 match you have will deal less damage then in a T10 game where you only kill one tank and damage one.

      Delete
    8. His argument is perfectly sound: Most arties will - on average - face lower tier enemy tanks.

      Therefore the average damage an arty inflicts will go down, too.

      For example the su26 in 8.5 can meet kv1s and other tier 6 tanks with 600 to 800 hp. Using gold (and that's what a su26 player uses for heavies) thats 200+ damage each shot, up to four times.

      In 8.6 there will be battles with a few tier 3s (su26 on of them) and a lot of tier 2s. Each tier 2 has less than 250 hp.

      So if a su26 in 8.5 shot one tier6 to hell it will have accumulated more damage done than a su26 in 8.6 that shot 3 to 4 tier 2s.

      So although it has had an higher effect on the outcome of that match it's average damage will be lower.
      __
      Although I myself am more fo a tanker than an arty player I always liked the way arty worked when I played tanks as well as when I played arties. (Getting one-shotted from time to time, yea. Thats shit. But not more so than an ammo rack.)

      But I fear they way it is now in 8.6 playing arty will be less fun and being hit by arty will be more frustrating. That's a lose-lose.

      Delete
    9. It's the same what I was thinking too. Storm is a retard if he didn't think about this. 6K damage on T10 -> you killed 2-3 tanks. 6K damage on T7 -> you killed half of the team. How hard it is to understand that? Complete retard.

    1. They already said that 500,000 is the number they'd start to pay attention to.

      If SuperPershing needs a buff, give it the .36 accuracy of the Pershing's top gun (SP has .37) and give it the top engine off the E8 Sherman (520hp instead of 500).

    2. I was thinking about the SP but SP can meet now with Tier9 arty which will rape it. I don't buy anything or only buy fast premium tank (maybe the new chinese) because slow tanks can not do anything now in the new MM when 2 tiers higher arty can come in the game.

  13. SerB should seriously consider to rename the game to World Of Arties, WOA after the MM is screwed up. Tier8 arties against tier6 heavys... (and the same for tier 7 and 8)

    This is insane. Just the splash will kill every tier6 heavies. FU, I'm behind a building and the arty hits the corner and I'm killed, this is the good ballanced gameplay (sarcasm). How much time did you think about this MM? Guess not much or drank too much vodka before. You should drink after the work not before.

    1. You need to keep up to date with every thing else that is going to change. In 8.6 so are the current tier 8 arties now tier 10 and the new tier 8 arties are the old tier 6 arties or new ones.

      Delete
    2. no, the old tier 6 arties became tier 7 (exception: SU-14). which means you're going to have tier 5 vehicles spawn against 203mm armed SU-14-1, M12, Lorr 155, and GwPanther

  15. I support it. I'll create a new acc. I have an invite code anyhow and I'll develop a heavy line to 8 most likely the american or the IS line. This can be done in 1-2 weeks. I'll start the trolling then and wait for arty takes position (don't kill them within the starting circle) and kill them one by one. It will be a good fun. I'll be a funny guy and if I'll do it carefully then WG will not ban me for long. At least long enough to make the life of many arty bitter.

    2. And did you happen to know that on high tier arties over 90% percent of "arty players" are people who play most of their games with non-arties? Only 5-10% play mostly arties.

      So do us all a favour and start your battles destroying your own tank.

      Delete
    3. It must be more than 5-10% because there are on average 4 arties on each side, that's 8 out of 30 vehicles, which is over 25%. We need to get it down to 15% (2.5 arties per team). Otherwise it is just a camping fest. It is no fun to drive in a slow heavy on open map. Either you got good teammates in medium tanks, the result is that you are always late to the party (=useless), or you don't have good mediums and then you have two options, either to die to arty very fast, or camp until your team is dead and die too. In all 3 cases very boring game.

      In overall, I still think that arty should mostly just immobilize the target, not to kill it so easily with 4-5 shells. But then nobody would be playing it. Oops! That's exactly the direction where we want to move in right? So I say lower the damage, increase the chance for tracks / view ports damage. Heavily armored tank should be able to withstand the pounding for 3-4 times longer than it can do now.

  17. Info: Historically spall liner equipment was a layer of kevlar surrounding the inner part of the tanks (crew compartments), with only function to protect the crew from non-penetrating shots. When a shell detonates near the tank or you have a non-penetration shot on the tank, many little fragments of metal (called spal) flew all-around in the crew compartment resulting many injured or killed. So if they want to add additional saving throw for the crew members, it should have been done in the first place.
