Hello there. I'm new to this forum and i'm wondering if I can join the FPEU clan. I know Zom_bie IRL and he recommended the clan to me. I've already requested to join on WoT. Thanks. My in-game name is Stevenovich94.

Accepted and welcome.
[quote]- the reason why US T57 was introduced was to increase the amount of American top tier tanks
- each crewmember alive at the end of the battle recieves the same amount of XP as the tank, dead crewmembers recieve only half
- the devs had thought about the idea that a burning tank would be harder to hide behind a bush (lower camo factor) but refused it, it was considered not needed
[B]- no candidate for tier 8 was found for the possible Soviet branch with Object 907 or for Soviet light tanks (SS: presumable high-tier LTs meant), it's not planned for now to use the LTs found in archives by Yuri Pasholok (SS: only sets of demands and some blueprints, will have a look at it, at first glance - very heavy and well armored vehicles for light tanks)[/B]
- minimap won't be remade from "satellite view" to "topographic view", because it would be difficult to read (SS: sorry, not sure what "topographic view" means in this context)
- transfer from elite vehicles XP to crew XP? "When we plan this, we'll tell"
- ingame vehicles will NOT be balanced around the 7/42 companies (SS: this is connected to the question, why no top 7/42 team uses TD's in their setups, SerB doesn't see that as a problem, the game is balanced around random battles and in random battles tier 8 TD's don't have problems)
- confirmed: drowning a tank gives you bigger repair bill than "regular" death
- regular mass-use of gold shells in random battles does NOT count as "unfair play" (SS: related to a massive whine of one player that WG forces people to buy premium accounts to stay competitive).
- a "bad nickname" report reason won't be added into the ingame report system, as it is not needed
- WG games for Xbox 720 and PS4? "No comment"
- the Chinese heavy tank traits according to SerB are good frontal armor and mobility
- no hardcap for LTs planned
- the option to exchange one premium tank for another (even for gold) won't be introduced
- the Leopard in the game will be one of the early models
- Q: "Why can't we name the crews ourselves?" A: "We don't need any screenshots with crews full of "heroes of the SS""
- gun aim spread is a purely balance characteristic
- SerB states that regarding the interview with Evilly (SS: translated here) that Evilly basically screwed some things up, because he's not involved in the game development directly
- if you are under the effect of camo net and binoculars, you press the "W" key, but the tank doesn't move, they still stop working. SerB: "Imagine it as if by pressing the W key the crew runs out of the vehicle, removes the camo net and the binoculars"
Apparently the Leopard 1 will really come later than expected and maybe not even after the British TDs patch.[/quote]
oh and
[quote][B]- SerB on premium tier 8 arties after tier 10 arties are introduced: "Logical, but not guaranteed.[/B]"[/quote]

Just had some interesting matches. In the first one you will see how to wiggle your armor in an e 50.

In the second one you can see how to avoid being hit by arty and you will also learn to know when is the perfect time to flank.( first couple of minutes are quite boring)

Hope you enyoj!:)
And just because, have the T7. It was the tank that later changed from light to medium, recieving the designation M7.

I found the M7 to be a better light tank than the Crusader. I found the Cromwell to be a better light tank than the T21. Go figure...

Except none of the German things will be implemented because "German engineering skills are overplayed and false" whereas all Soviet tanks will be implemented due to "historical realism".
Wargaming.

"today"?
they hardcapped arties at 5 per team last patch, it's impossible to get more than that
[editline]6th February 2013[/editline]
or maybe it only works when there are tanks to fill the spots
Really wondering how the Pz1 will work, seeing as its a dead-end line ending at tier 3
The source for the patch info has never been wrong. When they've posted something like this, it's always been confirmed later on.
The changes are real.
[editline]6th February 2013[/editline]
Unless they're wrong for the first time, which seems unlikely.

It'd be cool if the PT series were able to swim, PT even stands for "swimming tank". Just add the object 906 aka PT-85/PT-90, pretty much an uparmored PT-76 with 300 hp engine and a more powerful gun (85 or 90mm)

That model (and the very idea of extending the superstructure over the engine deck) is one of the dumbest and ugliest ideas I've seen.
It's like people don't understand interior space or how a gun breech moves in a tank (hurr hurr how do i swivel). The extension over the engine deck would most likely have been relatively minor (the breech wouldn't suddenly be twice the size because you added 11 fucking calibers to the gun).
I kinda hate Doyle for publishing these very early proposals and their napkin drawings, the fucking fanboys come all over it while screaming "GERMANY ES #1 HUE HUE HUE" while not realizing just how fucking silly they are.

I couldn't find much on the AT series, other than they're all similar to the AT-15/Tortoise, being really slow, semi-weak guns, and heavy armor. Most of them will have lee-type sponson mounted guns. The only picture I could find is of the AT-13.

[QUOTE=Datsun;39498520]Wow, more bullshit for the german tree. How unsurprising.[/QUOTE]
I'm confused, how is everyone with a VK2801 (or the other two for the matter) getting bumped up a tier for free a bad thing? Unless they nerf the VK2801 when they move it up a tier (how would that work?), it can only get better. It's not like it gets tier 5 matchmaking right now anyway.
