Dear tank commanders,

We are aware that there are many questions about the in-game development process and its mechanics, which you would like to ask Developers. Here is your chance.

This thread will be open until tomorrow only. On Thursday, March 22nd, we will lock it and collect all questions from all language sections and send them to Developers. As soon as we receive their answers, we will post them online.

Please note that we won’t be able to asnwer all your questions at once. However, we will try to reply to as many as possible. Note also that it is better to ask mid- and long-term questions, because with short-term questions it may happen  that the answer will be here before we manage to proces it.

Thread rules:
Please post your questions here, do not go off-topic and try to keep the topic easy-to-navigate. Off-topics will be removed.

Best Regards,
Supercharge
The Wargaming Community Team

When will it be the end of critical hits with 0 damage
Will tank freezing be reconsidered, since most of the community dont want it?
Eta of 7.2?
Eta of physics?

There are any plans in improuving Tiger H (frontal armour especialy)?! The game is presenting everywhere this tank as his immage but the ingame model is by far the worst T7 heavy (evan the frenchie version hase a better gun). Thank you!

Will we get more historical PzIV without Schmalturm but with hull and turret skirts (Schurtzen)?
Are there plans to make second line of US meds?
Which TD will be finally researched from Ferdinand? Jagdtiger or StugE100? (there were some signals that the tree published almost year ago is not final in this case)
What countries tanks will be in so called European tree?

when will be new game-modes added?

1) Any development on "hardcore" gamemode that was mentioned a long time ago?
2) When will Panther be resized to historically accurate dimensions (aka smaller)?

Will you listen to the community and reverse some of the huge nerfs that is killing the T34 ?

when is the british tree being implemented?
thank you

sorry ... iam not a dev... but let me answer this... yup

my questions:
eta of new game modes?
any chance on a patch with more maps than 2-3?
eta of bigger maps and/or bigger teams?

Why is WG balancing the game considering these 2 factors, patching is usually done in inconsequent pattern.

- Overall performance

- Overall Income

Why not create a balanced gameplay and then balance the overall income couse as it stands now the a patch for performance is given out and then another suddenly a patch for income is released.
Why not decide on what you think is most important to keep players in the game and then fix ingame finacial issues?

If you currently are using this model i have to say you are hiding it well.

i have seen info about 3 new maps on NA forum http://forum.worldof...kansas-arizona/
can give more info about them like when they be in game ?

Do you plan Clan Wars with lower tiers? Like company battle?

When is global map expanding to it's full size?
When is CW reset and merge coming? I mean that EU, NA and RU players battling for the same map thingy...
When german TD's and French TD's/arty's are going to come? Which patch?
When is multicore support coming?
Any news on the "Making your tanks premium" thing?
Will 2x credit event's be fixed so they would be possbile to do once again? I heard some patch broke 2x credits thingy and now you cant make a event with 2x credits

Regarding the new 7.2 ingame economy changes,

Why didn't any tier 4 premium tank receive an income increase?

Are you considering increasing their income to balance them with regards to new 7.2 regular tank increased earnings?



What will be the cost of the new premium french arty and other new premium tanks coming in 7.3?


That's all from me, btw good job community team on this, I hope all questions get answered.

Jagdtiger Specifications
Length 10.65 m including gun
Width 3.6 m
Height 2.8 m

Object 704 Specifications
Length 9.18 m
Width 3.07 m
Height 2.48 m

After the above data  the Jagdtiger does not look much taller then the Object 704, only 32 cm taller  , rather loock wideer and longer,
When will be resized to it's "historical" size ???? If we talk about "historicly" acurate vehicles.....

1. Are there plans to rework the spotting and camouflage system?

2. Is there a chance the 88mm KwK36 L/56 will get a penetration buff for balance reasons, it really lacks good penetration on especially the JagdPanzer IV, Jagdpather and VK3002(DB), and even the tier 6 VK series.

3. Is there a chance the IS-4 size will be reverted? It already was small and now it's tiny.

4. Any ETA on a proper MatchMaker?

Why do WG spend so much time adjusting Soviet tanks to their historical size when the historical penetration of German guns is ignored?

For example the 7.5 cm KwK 42/L70 had a historical penetration of 159 not 135. The German penetration numbers were listed against 30 degree slope where the Soviet were against vertical plates.

WG have had to invent a large number of imaginary gun/tank combination to make up for this mistake that made the German guns perform far worse than their historical effectiveness.

Why is testing phase of new tanks on test server conducted with gold ammo enabled? How do you know you get good balance statistics because of so much gold ammo is flying around?

My question is this (and, yes, this is a serious question):

Can the Developers answer all the questions that have been posted in Overlord's thread over the past week?
http://forum.worldof...stions-answers/

Since this thread is only open for two days, I fear many of the important questions in that thread will be overlooked. Perhaps they should pay very close attention to the growing frustration and sentiment to this trend by Wargaming:

#1) Do you devs play WoT?

#2) If you do, what nations do you prefer mostly (as players of course)?

#3) Can you explain how you balance vehicles - what do you take into account?
