[quote]- Q: "Do you fear the War Thunder competition?" A: "Most of all, we fear Farmville" (SS: SerB didn't say exactly Farmville, but its Russian equivalent, I changed it to make the joke more comprehensible)
- BT-5 might become a Chinese premium LT, but not in next few patches
- IS-3 confirmed NOT to become a premium tank
[B]- SU-85(i) and Panzer IV Hydro are not going to be sold in the shops, they are promo/gift vehicles, not clear when they will be given[/B]
- It's planned to introduce the possibility to view replays straight from (within) the client (SS: so there will be no need to quit the game and doubleclick the replay itself)
- You recieve less XP by firing on targets that are lower tier than you
- the devs have no relationship with the WoT wiki
- Q: "Will there be British tier 8 heavy?" A: "When it's planned, I'll tell you. It's not possible to answer all of the questions related to various nation - tier tank combinations."
- Recon and Situational Awareness skills work the same way.
- there is no plan to add the Syria flag
- SerB actually misses the times when there were fewer players asking more intelligent questions
- SerB states that all the archives WG collaborated with caused some problems and almost all the problems were settled
[B]- Q: "When dealing with Support, they sent me a program called "wot_check" for testing the client. Do you plan to put this program into the client to fight illegal mods?" A: "We won't comment on this."[/B]
- Q: "Did you consider adding ingame voice communication for random battles without the platoons?" A: "We did. It was terrible. Scrapped the idea."
- M47 Patton? "maybe, if we ever need a tier 8-10 vehicle" (SS: this was related to the whole Patton tank family question, whether we will see all the Pattons - M46, M47, M48)
- it's probably not possible to make the ingame platoon voice chat permanently on without the need to press the butten, "there are problems with that"
[B]- different types of shells have different colored tracers, HE shells have orange tracers, so that the arty can recognize other arties. subcaliber (APCR, APDS) shells have light, short and transparent tracers (because it's basically just a small piece of tungsten flying), AP shells tracers look like subcaliber shells tracers but a lot more clear (they are longer, more visible and less transparent). HEAT tracers are yellow and very thin. Tracer colors are the same on all the servers.[/B]
[B]- the devs are thinking about adding the Fog of War in random battles[/B]
- there will be no multiclassing (SS: a Hetzer with a 150mm short howitzer mentioned, that could work both as TD and as an arty at the same time), in the early development the devs thought about changing the class of the vehicle by adding different modules (for example SU-122 and SU-152 could work as an arty as well as a TD), but this idea was scrapped soon[/quote]
Oh and someone was looking for the source for these I believe, [URL="http://ftr-wot.blogspot.com"]here[/URL]. Although, that's just the blog of the person on the EU forum who translates a Q&A thread on the RU forums if my understanding is correct.
[QUOTE=cccino;39402098]Nope.[/QUOTE]
[quote]Oh and WoT-ish game (unclear whether WoT or some other port) will be made for gaming consoles, if I understand this correctly.[/quote]
Could be interesting I guess.
[QUOTE=Calkkuna;39403125]Yeah of you shoot at the upper part of the frontal armor it does some BS dinging all the time, I think it's because of the normalization buff.
[editline]29th January 2013[/editline]
I have dinged 175 pen guns with angling in my T29. How more OP can the tank get :v:[/QUOTE]
They've gotten so much harder to deal with. You can't shoot the lower glacis because it doesn't really have one. Instead it's got that damn seam that seems like it has more armor than the turret.
[editline]derp[/editline]
WoT on console would be pretty fun I think. Of course then you'd have an even bigger community of assholes and people that don't know anything about tanks.
is there a mod to stop a fixed turret tank turning when you hit the gun's limit of travel when out of sniper mode?
without using hull lock
No, because that's kind of what hull lock is for.
[QUOTE=lintz;39403423]No, because that's kind of what hull lock is for.[/QUOTE]
its annoying i always forget because ive gotten used to the hellcat now
[QUOTE=DaMastez;39403196] Q&A [/QUOTE]
God damn it, the mention of the 150mm hetzer makes me wish for the german assault gun tree again :c
If the 150mm Hetzer is what I think it is, we might see it in the Sturmtiger tree.
In fact, it's pretty much the only tank that could even remotely fill up the blanks there, but it wouldn't be much better than a Bison going TD mode.
Slammed into a JT88 in my KV-5 for 705 damage
Took 150 damage in the process
CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKER

I once rammed a KV5 to death in my Lowe. He'd just steamrolled a friendly Panther, but didn't see me coming from the hill above him. Hitting his side at 45kph felt lovely.
My second game of physics I was scouting up with my VK2801 when I was caught out of position on top of a hill. Instead of doing the smart thing and falling back, I saw a T-50-2 also coming up and decided to test out my ramming ability.
He drove to the right of me and I turned and rammed into the side of him, [I]physically pushed him to the map boundary[/I], and blew him up.

[h2]We are doing company battles tonight at 20:00/8:00PM EST. Try and be there if you're in FP.
Be in mumble as well.[/h2]
ARGH THE GUN ON T14
SO FUCKING BAD
Penning Stugs at over 200 meters is almost impossible, that's just fucking sad. You can ding from a slightly angled T-34, that's even more sad.
It's so shit, I can't even comprehend why its on a T5 premium heavy.

Please, learn how to play it before you bitch about it. The gun is perfectly adequate.

Probably about 2 or 3 hours.

The gun itself is rather mediocre but the tank has good armor and decent mobility.
The whole point of premium tanks is that they aren't supposed to be an I-win button against tanks of a similar tier.
[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;39404457]Please, learn how to play it before you bitch about it. The gun is perfectly adequate.[/QUOTE]
What is there to learn to play, the pen is horrifying even if you know the weakspots, especially when paired with the shit accuracy.

The gun isn't the only weapon on that tank, you know that right? You weigh 50t at tier 5 with a shit-ton of horsepower. You can't play it like a sniper, you gotta get in there and fuck shit up with your trolly armor.
Aim for the vitals, with T14.
I found the weakspots on the KV-1, so they don't bully my T14 anymore. They tend to back off now when I shave off about half of their HP with one shot.

Which company type are you running? (Probably medium or champion?)

The armor is really random, the only good part is the supersloped frontal armor which works only against low pen guns, a kv-1 can almost reliably pen the front even when angled.
But yeah it works best against lower tier tanks but that doesn't make the tank good.
This has got to be the worst insult I have ever seen during a battle.

If they just angle themselves and you'll ding from the weakspots too.

It will depend. I would like to run Champion but if we don't have enough we'll run a lower.
What are the requirements to be in the FP clan and do battles with you guys?

There are no requirements right now other than to be on FP in order to [i]join[/i] the clan. If you want to do battles with us, we require that you own a microphone, or are at least willing to LISTEN and [i]obey orders[/i] during a battle (by being in Mumble).

I'll be joining in too with my tech tree dickwaving if you guys don't mind:

Pretty close to finishing some of the trees, but they keep adding new tanks goddamnit.[/QUOTE]
How do you manage to still have so many credits despite having so many tanks? Just consistently grind t8 premiums?
I still haven't bought a tier 10 because I can't focus on saving enough credits.
