Developer Q&A, 29th June 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", located on wot-news website

First, some info on US tanks from US server developer/historian, The_Chieftain

- in 8.7, US tanks wonâ€™t probably be nerfed (The_Chieftain stated on US forums that he is constantly working on measuring the armor of the US vehicles, but he wonâ€™t make it till 8.7): â€œNo significant nerfing of US tanks is going to happen in 8.7″
- another piece from The_Chieftain: apparently, the M103/T110 wonâ€™t be nerfed, when it comes to armor
- The_Chieftain on T57/M103 supposed armor nerf, that was somewhat hinted at earler: â€œâ€¦..since then I found the armyâ€™s ballistic test report for the T43′s hull, which as near as I can tell is ballistically identical to the M103′s. Did moderately well, except for the lower front hull.â€

Some more info from US server, regarding the Missions (aka â€œminiquestsâ€) and Operations (series of missions)

- Mugsy_: there will be a special Operations (and Missions, aka â€œminiquestsâ€) interface (UI) in next patch, itâ€™s being developed
- missions can be considered WoT equivalent of Warcraftâ€™s daily quests
- gold as a reward wonâ€™t be used too much until the testing of the whole concept is complete
- Operations (series of missions) will be historically themed series of missions (for example a â€œBattle of Kurskâ€)
- missions where you have to â€œdo damage equal to 3-5x of your tanks healthâ€ are not technically possible now

BTW: I am not sure, whether Operations as such will come to EU server. Itâ€™s an American server thing, essentially (they have been running these for a while now, just not using this special reward system). Weâ€™ll just have to see.

Overlordâ€™s info from his blog:

- 8.7 supertest has recently started, itâ€™s possible that we will see 8.7 public test in like two weeks
- WG still plans to release one new map per update
- day/night battles and weather are being worked on
- T-50-2 will be replaced completely, it will not become a premium tank Ã¡ la T34

And regular Q&A:

- according to SerB, TDâ€™s arenâ€™t OP now (â€œstatistics donâ€™t confirmâ€)
- patch 8.6 is considered â€œniceâ€
- there were (and are) no plans to reduce the HP damage done by HEAT shells, while increasing their effect against crewmembers
- spall liner doesnâ€™t work when the vehicle armor is (fully) penetrated by HE
- SerB states that Soviet RPG-7 can penetrate Abrams, it happened in Iraq and one of the crewmembers was wounded, Americans then tried to blame some â€œsecret gunâ€, but it was just a RPG
- itâ€™s possible that the Superpershing will not be nerfed in 8.7 (there might not be enough time to make it)
- old tanks (such as Panzer 35t) have detailed suspension collision models, while the new ones have less detailed ones. This is intentional â€“ the developers considered the situation and found out less detailed models are sufficient for the game, while reducing the load on the server
- the â€œminiquestâ€ mechanism wasnâ€™t implemented earlier, because developers simply had other things to do
- map â€œStalingradâ€ will not be apparently implemented under this name, but something like Stalingrad (a map of that type) will come
- as for silver- and XP-awarding events (like the Russians had recently with the miniquests), SerB generally doesnâ€™t like such events, because he thinks people should play to win and not to fulfill the mission goals
- SerB is also not fond of lowtier premium tanks, because they support pedobearing/sealclubbing (SS: experienced players preying or newbies), which means Bronetraktors (SS: armored improvised tractors, the Ni tank being the most famous) probably wonâ€™t appear
- itâ€™s very rarely possible for a hightier tank to appear in lowtier battles, happens late in the night, when there arenâ€™t enough vehicles to fill the slots and MM adds vehicles from other tiers to the battle
- there will be no â€œfree tankâ€ (or other reward) for changing the VK3601H into a heavy
- SerBâ€™s comment on 0.8.6 MM: â€œItâ€™s not that badâ€
- itâ€™s possible the VK4501B will recieve historical parameters within a year, that is it gets much less armor and loses the 105mm and 128mm guns (and gets dropped down a tier or two), it was made tier 9 because WG didnâ€™t find a historical proper T9 candidate
- SerB on why there is no British autoloaded arty on tier 10: â€œOh well, evil Zlobny conjured up something else, happens. (SS: here, SerB used the word â€œнашаманитьâ€ â€“ I am not sure what it means, some slang word for find or conjure up?)
- you wonâ€™t have to probably manually remove the crew from T-50-2 before its switch, but watch the patchnotes just in case
- itâ€™s possible that the second German TD branch (0.8.9) was changed compared to the early version that was made public last year, SerB will tell when the time is right
- there are no plans to introduce the IS-7 with 152mm at this moment, but if it is introduced, it will probably be a heavy tank, not a TD
- when the new French heavy branch comes, its tier 10 tank will most likely not be the AMX50B, but something new (SS: earlier 2012 trees showed both heavy branches ending with one tank, the 50B)
- there are plans to add the possibility to change the e-mail your account is registered to
- itâ€™s possible HESH will recieve its own mechanism, but SerB doesnâ€™t see it as an important issue, it has low priority
- neither Ferdinand nor Jagdpanther II will most likely lead to the new German TD branch, SerB will not share details about any merges or splits however
- Q: â€œWhy is the capture much faster on new Encounter maps?â€ A: â€œHow terribleâ€¦â€
- default erman emblem will not be changed
- new emblems: â€œif necesseryâ€
- according to SerB, in surveys, players actually prefer only partial city maps, not completely covered with streets, so thatâ€™s how the devs will do it

They will make changes to it if necessary, if it performs too bad now, it will be improved. All of this has happened before, and will happen again ( xD )
