Maybe it's a point at which you just shouldn't even try.[/QUOTE]
Depends on the FPS. With the right netcode, games like TF2 and Arma II/DayZ are perfectly playable on the usual 250ms ping that I get to the majority of American servers, and World of Tanks is also just fine, as long as I compensate for a slight amount of entirely predictable lag.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;39676596]You know you are going down the British heavy tree when getting standard battle Malinovka makes you happy.[/QUOTE]
Himmelsdorf and Malinovka both make me want to grind the American heavy line, solely for the bunker turrets and good gun depression. France and Russia both lack it, and they make playing on the hills painful.

Problem is that due to that netcode, I have to lead hitscan sniper shots in TF2 even tho my ping is 40ms, and that's just silly.

Point is you are still sacrificing comfort of players with good connection in favor of somebody with shitty connection.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;39676657]Point is you are still sacrificing comfort of players with good connection in favor of somebody with shitty connection.[/QUOTE]
True, but the point I was making is that good netcode can drastically reduce the amount of lag players with poor or long-distance connections suffer.
Even in War Thunder I barely notice any lag, even on european servers (330 ms ping, anyone?) probably thanks to the somewhat realistic bullet travel time and the easy-mode reticle that tells you where to shoot.

Hah, I saw a Type 59 player whining about being put into tier 9 battles, complaining that he 'can't even pen the lower front of a tier 8 heavy. Thanks for ruining a $57 tank, WG. ' or some bullshit.
Can you post more arty is balanced?

Because it's determined by weight, rather than the number of tiers, and allows for a 10% maximum difference in weight.

Hahaha, Unit05 and myself have been doing that too. He does it with the KV-1S and I do it with my GW Tiger. Most people do agree that arty and the KV-1S are OP, but occasionally you get people who think they aren't. It's quite fun to then say you were just being ironic and you think they're broke as fuck. Watch as 28 other players gang up on that guy.
[QUOTE=gufu;39675850]You know, I don't really get WoWP hate. It's a pretty fun arcade game while it's at it. Bloody War Thunder has to be a pretty awesome game then, if comparisons are to be believed.[/QUOTE]
In WoWP I spent more time fighting my own plane than I did anyone else. It doesn't make sense because I play loads of sims and I would have thought I might know what I'm doing, but WoWP seems desperate to prove me wrong. War Thunder plays so damn smoothly... it has its problems too, but damn it's already so much better that it amazes me. At this point, I think WG should give up WoWP and go straight for warships because they don't stand a chance.
Didn't Serb say that they expect WoWP to be the best and most popular of the trio.
[QUOTE=Goblin_5;39678016]Didn't Serb say that they expect WoWP to be the best and most popular of the trio.[/QUOTE]
They changed there minds when they saw all the interest the NA community had in WoWS. Lots of people ask lots of questions to KGB. Who answers them back as well.

I have tried to play it with Mouse & Keyboard (they suggest it actually). I tried to play it with my [URL="http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52pro.html"]Saitek X52 set[/URL], my Microsoft Force Feedback stick, a cheap logitech stick (good stick for the price, wish I could remember what it's called), and my Logitech Dual Action controller. It was stupid hard to play with any of these setups, and I used to play Red Baron with a keyboard so yeah... I shouldn't have this much trouble.
WoWP gets a lot of flak just about everywhere it's talked about because of shit like this. I think of the three, it will probably be their least popular game.
[quote]- Storm considers the delays between RU and EU patches "very small"
- Q: "Is the Object 907 a fake?" (SS: as in "false news", not "made up tank") A: "It's a tank project"
- the 0.4.0 WoWp render improvement won't be applied on WoT, as the tanks are developed differently
- it's possible the premium tanks will be somehow developed, for example by adding special tanks that farm only XP, others that farm only money. Storm won't disclose details, but options for premium tank development are being considered
- developers like the tutorial map a lot (SS: which means we can expect such style)
- Storm plays games on PC, he doesn't use consoles. He was also disappointed a bit by the PS-4, as it doesn't seem to be the nextgen console he expected
- platoon infestation is not considered a problem by Storm
Japanese time! (as requested, I will try to translate this part as precisely as possible):
Q: Were there many variants of the O-I tank? I found some mentions that for both the early and the late variants, more variants of turret placement were considered. Was there an O-I on Char (Chara? Hara?) suspension? (SS: sorry, really unclear what is meant by "Char" or "Chara") Were there any other suspensions? Is it true that the late variant was heavier than 130 tons? When did the Japanese start working on them - 1937? 1938? If the info on the 75mm cannon is confirmed, will it be possible to stretch the O-I from tier 5 to tier 8, like it happened with the Tortoise prototype in the British TD branch? Or is this not really needed?
A: We know of 3 variants of turret placement and of 4 variants of suspension, including the one with "40 roadwheels". The "Char" suspension is one of the variants. Maximum weight reached is 140 tons. The work started as really difficult this year, as very few documents arrived. As for the tier spread, there are still unresolved questions. We can clearly cover tiers 7 to 9, Iwakuro tank goes to T6 normally with its 150mm (much like the 152mm KV-2), but we have problems with tier 4 and 5
Q: What are those 4 variants of suspension?
A: "Chara" (Hara, Char???), Bugatti, Interwoven single torsion bar, Interwoven double torsion bar
Q: Did the Japanese 80-wheeled supertank have torsion bar suspension? Was it multiturreted? Were more main gun caliber variants considered?
A: We assume, that the "40-wheeler" had both multiturret and singleturret variants. Tier 10 will be singleturreted. The guns will most likely be one 140mm gun, but if necessery, we can consider also 127mm and 150mm.
Q: Will the T10 TD based on the Chi-Ri?
A: Not yet decided. Known vehicles based on Chi-Ri (Ho-Ri 1 and Ho-Ri 2) would normally go on tier 8, since they are almost fully comparable to the Ferdinand. High tiers were not yet decided.
Q: Were the Ho-Ri I and II open-topped?
A: On canonical drawings they are shown as closed
Q: And what about Type 95, wouldn't it fit the role of Tier 4 heavy?
A: Type 91 and 95 both would normally go to tier 3, they are weak for tier 4. In the end it is possible to push Type 95 to tier 4 (and we'll probably do that anyway), but it would be better to find something else
- US H.L.Yoh tanks are being considered, but the tree won't yet be disclosed
- new unique crew abilities? "We haven't found any suitable ones yet, when we do, we will make"
- the devs want to focus on winter maps now, there will be fewer sand maps for now
- Q: "All tier 10 heavies lost their meaning!" A: "Checked your stats, shrugged, didn't read further"
- SerB considers armor-relying heavies (Maus etc.) still useful, the armor has its role
- devs prefer to remove overpowered premium tank from the shop rather than rebalancing it, because that way, if they put it back for special events, only people who really want it buy it and the battles won't get swamped by a huge number of them
- Chinese top TDs will be based on one of the current Chinese heavies, arties were not determined yet

I still think they should just let you pay gold to turn one of your favorite tanks into a premium tank. I'd love to have an E-50 premium, Kt premium, or an IS-3 premium.

[quote]- Q: "Dear devs, when you removed the B2 and H38 premium tanks from the German tech tree, you argued that it's necessery because the original vehicles will be in the French branch. Now there are the Soviet Churchills and Valentines, will you remove them too because we have the British branch?" A:"Nah, we'll just remove the British."
- Storm suggests players use the Nvidia driver 306 series
- it's not possible to leave permanent track marks, the client wouldn't handle it
- the gold shells were not nerfed in order to richochet more (SS: that's a popular conspiracy theory)
- there will be no option implemented to change the look of your hangar just so (with one click) from festive to regular
[B]- "a lot" will be changed in the camouflage system, SerB will tell "when the time is right"[/B]
- it's confirmed that the T8 German LT line will continue to the T9 Leopard prototype, much like the Chinese branch (XP-wise too)
- the T8 German LT properties will be "about the same as those of the AMX-13/90"
- Soviet medium premium tank will be apparently tier 7 and not 8 (SS: T-44A)
- there will be no free stuff for old players as a reward
- there will be no researchable modules for premium tanks
- it's possible the golden derp shell prices might rise ("we'll see")
- hangar details are set high "in order to look good", because performance is not that needed in it[/quote]

Would be nice, but normally dont premiums need to be generally weaker? Perhaps force them into there historical configurations. eg, Hellcat with the 76mm only, Pershing with the 90mm(short), KT with the 88mm. T-34 with a 76mm(I know it had a 57mm, but wasnt that rather rare?)
