- WoT won't be ported into a browser game, as it would perform even worse than it does now

Who suggested that xD

- in order to get a WG press account, you have to be an accredited journalist

We gotta talk to Dandy about this xD

Developer Q&A, 14th May 2013

These are the translations of the Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by the EU server player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record".

- according to EU "developer" Quasar, 8.7 might bring a tier 8 medium premium tank
- the CW event is taking shape: it is confirmed that lowtier tanks will have a place within it
- SerB states that while vehicles are sorted in the team list by MM weight, in case of equal weight, they are sorted alphabetically, but some mods mess this sorting up
- it's unclear whether the random/company player stats split will happen after all
- AMX-13/105 won't appear in WoT
- the roles of Chinese tank crews (where sometimes a commander acts as a radioman and sometimes it's the loader) won't be unified
- in 0.8.6, champion companies will have arty up to tier 8, the medium tier company will have arties up to tier 6 and junior companies up to tier 4
- tier point limits for companies won't change in 0.8.6
- compensations for players who specialized in one type of arty (for companies etc.), which gets changed are not planned
- press accounts are not transferrable (eg. they are not allowed to be played by other people than the journalists)
- the "ghost" houses on A3 in Live Oaks are apparently bugs
- it's possible maps in various times of the day (dusk, dawn, night, day) are possible, won't be implemented for now
- WoT Blitz doesn't have arty, because its maps are too small
- WoT now apparently has an anti-botting mechanism implemented, nothing will be disclosed about it
- modern tanks will never be implemented, SerB stated that for modern tanks (from the 1960's till now), a whole different game would have to be made
- apparently there was some cybersports account named Cyber_Sport_Federation, punished with 7 days for fixing battles (SS: I am not into cybersports, but I can find out more if anyone is interested)
- tanks in platoons don't have bigger MM weight than without them
- players with high winrates are NOT being put by the MM mechanism to the bottom of the team more often
- Q: "What will happen to VK2801 in 0.8.6 in connection with the HEAT nerf? It's not fun to drive a scout without a gun..." A: "Don't drive a scout without a gun then." (SS: VK2801 in 0.8.6 gets a 105mm HEAT nerf, but also a depression nerf from -10 to -8)

- the Leopard 1 ammorack positions are historical
- archievements for travelling certain distance with a tank are apparently not planned
- it's not certain that captured tanks will appear only after historical battles
- apparently the increased E-25 L/70 penetration is just arbitrary, not historical

Developer Q&A, 15th May 2013

These are the translations of the Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by the EU server player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record".

- Confirmed from supertest: developers now have a new way how to detect present mods (illegal mods) from replays for the whole battle (eg. if you report a cheater by a ticket, devs have a way of telling what mods is he using) - for now it's not automatized
- devs are not consulting gameplay issues with players, because all they get is whining
- the amount of credits for losses won't be lowered and for victories won't be increased - devs thought about it long time ago, but decided the current balance is just fine and the company mode proved that such a thing is irrational
- it's possible the difference between winners and losers income in companies will be lowered
- according to SerB, Gaijin War Thunder tanks don't have much chance to beat World of Tanks ("Don't hold your breath")
- with the new camos, players who already bought camos won't get gold/credits back to buy the new ones
- Storm on WoT conspiracy theories: "It's the same as in real life. Real life also has enough conspiracy nuts. According to them, the "reds" are to blame for everything, or the "whites", or the "greens". "
- Ersatz Panther will get the US stars, but won't get the US camos
- WoT for Linux will definitely not come. It's not decided yet, whether there will be WoT for Mac
- British arty will come this year
- it's unknown, whether the Japanese will make it this year
- 2nd German TD branch this year? "Everything's possible"

- British arty will come this year- no one will play it because they will ruin SPGs.

- according to SerB, Gaijin War Thunder tanks don't have much chance to beat World of Tanks ("Don't hold your breath")- We shall see.

It's not fishy, it's the exactly same thing they did on the USA server with their CW event. They reset the whole map and unlocked only USA east coast region at start and made it tier 3 CW only. Later they unlocked other regions and higher tier tanks with them

Developer Q&A, 16th May 2013

These are the translations of the Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by the EU server player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record".

- SerB on War Thunder: "Yes, I played it. But I won't make comments about it, sorry - we'd do a lot of things differently and some developers react very nervously on such analysis comments"
- Q: "But did you like War Thunder personally?" A: "As I said, we'd do a lot of things differently."
- premium arties of high tier won't be implemented for now
- battle parameters such as "distance travelled" or "time spent in battle" have no influence on XP/credit battle income
- all the vehicles are balanced separately, not according to some "class parameters"
- regarding the possibility of the change of rules for buying camo/decals: "It there is some, I will tell you"
- the reason for nerfing the penetration in 0.8.6 is "malice"
- regarding the premium tanks being able to use only gold ammo for credits without losing money: "In such a case, they don't fulfill their primary role - to be used for farming"
- Q: "SerB, what are you doing to do with clans copying the name of famous clans, who have tons of copycats around?" A: "Imagine, my name is Sergey, I thought I'd be the only one of my kind, but there turned out to be a huge number of copycats around! How will I live from now on?!"
- it won't be possible to shoot from water (when the tank is submerged)
- Sturmtiger will be a tank destroyer, not an arty
- it's possible that when the multiturret mechanism is introduced, Churchill will have its hull gun usable
- premium modules for tanks won't be implemented
- regarding the Leopard (LT): when it was moved a tier higher, no other suitable weapons were found for it than the 30mm Mk103
- according to SerB, there is no "ideal setup" for a game, because there are differences in maps, tactics and player skills
- according to SerB, when balancing classes (except for LT's), average damage doesn't have to be the same for all classes
- according to SerB, the reasons (altogether) for not introducing thanks beyond the 60's are: composite and dynamic armor, smoothbores, fire control systems, most tanks have similiar parameters, gas turbines...
- regarding the maximum tank render distance limits: "It's there for a complex of reasons. Principially we could just change the scale - but then, you will get to shoot at "dots at the horizont" - that's not very interesting. But we are working on it."
- technically it's possible to put the gas turbine into the Panther or Panther II, but it won't be done... for now (SS: Germans did experiment with various turbines for the Panther - GT101 to GT103, around cca 1200 -1500 hp) - however, E-50 or E-75 won't have them, it was the Germans themselves who historically wanted to keep the regular engines
- ATGMs wonť be implemented
- SerB is tempted to give the T-62A the improved Object167M hull and 122mm D-83 gun
- there will be no free handout vehicles in 0.8.6

- there will be no free handout vehicles in 0.8.6- Why would be in any case? XD

- according to SerB, the reasons (altogether) for not introducing thanks beyond the 60's are: composite and dynamic armor, smoothbores, fire control systems, most tanks have similiar parameters, gas turbines... - Gas turbines are problem? SerB is lying.

- Q: "But did you like War Thunder personally?" A: "As I said, we'd do a lot of things differently."- He liked it but he cant say.

there used to be free vehicles when for example amx 12t went from tier 5 to 6, those that had it got an elc amx and a free garage slot.

and they said they won't give free vehicles in 8.6 cause they want to reduce the number of arties in the game, and giving someone that has 1 another 1 is not going to do that

Developer Q&A, 17th May 2013

These are the translations of the Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by the EU server player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record".

- Leopard 1 too weakly armored? "Don't play Leopard1" and "It was really nice to troll whiners, knowing the armor thickness of this oversized light tank"
- the solution to nerf gold ammo pen and to increase its price was accepted, because "we consider out approach to be correct"
- Q: "Since there are new (German) camos being introduced, haven't you thought about new inscriptions, such as 'Gott mit uns'?" A: "Yep. And 'Jedem das seine' and 'Arbeit macht Frei'"
- for now, there are no plans to change the upcoming Soviet tier 7 premium medium tank into something on tier 8
- details about the patch 0.8.6: "Wait for patchnotes"
- developers are not happy with the way the players communicate in game, it is planned to "educate younger players" (Q: "And do you have plans to educate children"? A: "Sure. Beating with belt and bread and water diet.") (SS: here, SerB is trolling, but he also says that parents are responsible for bringing up their children, it's not Wargaming's task to educate players to be polite)
- premium account won't be split into active and nonactive parts (SS: a player suggested a hour-based premium account)
- if you have an arty researched and it gets moved to another tier, both that arty and the arty it gets replaced with will be unlocked (but not given)
- British arty will come in one of the following patches after 0.8.6
- when you sell a tank with gold (permanent) camo, the amount of money you get for selling it will be the same as if it didn't have any camo at all
- the decision not to make an arty hardcap was taken because of the reluctance to introduce any hardcaps in general (SS: for those who still think it's bullshit, there is a post on EU forums about what can happen when hardcap goes wild...)
- Q: "Why is S-51 so expensive and it gets nerfed so hard?" A: "Want justice? Go to Hague tribunal."
- Q: "Why was the Chinese 121 medium tank pen nerfed in 0.8.6 supertest?" A: "We don't comment on rumors, leaks and other things causing butthurt."
- new methods of illegal mod detection won't be disclosed
- Storm will announce the artillery accuracy changes on monday (SS: funnily enough, Storm specifically denied WG will mess around with shell gaussian distribution for arty, so I really wonder what's going on)
- according to SerB, the KV-1S with 152mm howitzer is not historical, the pictures of KV-1S with a howitzer most likely show the version with a 122mm gun
- Although Leopard 1 is technically a MBT, it's very specific - other MBTs such as T-72 won't be introduced
- OF-40 and similiar tanks won't appear in WoT
- 0.8.6 will come roughly in 3-4 weeks from now
- Q: "Why is Jagdtiger not able to shoot enemies on 1 km distance as in real life?" A: "Want realism? Join the army."
- the L/70 on StuG III not having a muzzle brake is historical (SS: historically, there was indeed a L/70 project "Ausf.H" to arm StuG III with StuK 42. The superstructure however was quite different, "regular" StuG III (even Ausf.G) wouldn't be able to carry it).
- the "2S*" Soviet SPG's (SS: such as the 2S3 Akatsyia) won't appear in game
- dynamic objects on maps will be implemented ("when it's done it's done")
- there is no "biggest maps", 24 out of 34 maps have unified size: 1200x1200m
- there will be other Sherman modifications (models) introduced into the game
- the small "bump" on the backside of the T-34 turret is a porthole for firing crew infantry weapons
- when the T-34 driver's hatch is closed (as in the game), the driver IRL cotrols the tank according to commander's directions
- the Japanese captured tanks in US tree have not been scrapped, they might appear eventually
- water has no influence on arty shell splash
