I'm most interested in the French tank replacement procedures, since I have a 13 90 and the Lorraine researched but not bought.

[Tordin Varglund]

dont care about british tbqh

Each time they introduce new tanks they fuck the game up just that much more. It was fine with just GER/RUS/US tbh

[metacannibal]

It is clear by now that they have no interest in actually developing a great tanks game with wot. They want to create an online "tamagotchi" (yes Kisly said that) with an intentional OP/Nerf cycle to increase revenue. Its not about making a great game, its about increasing gold consumption. Initially wot was developed differently since the game had to win players, now the state of the game is just sad.
I do not believe that they could not come up with more innovative gameplay, ladders and a gameplay concept that would reward skill, i am however certain that this is not intended at all.
I am pretty sure that the majority of content for even early 2013 is already cut and mostly done, they are just holding back on the release to make sure that players stay on the feature tit to milk gold regularly. In the end, if they release all the stuff within a few months chances are players will not freexp to new tanks, and thats exactly what they want.

[Th3GoodSon]

Want:

British tanks BECAUSE

Physics

Fixes

Do not want:

New high tier tanks

More premiums

More problems

[Lusulpher]

Ouch, my shoot-only-tanks-that-can't-hurt-me backbone

And when are they going to announce Physics release???
Or reducing the MM spread?!

It's already a goddamn slaughter if a T10 ends up in a T6 match and your T10 is a congenital birth reject...now merciless T10 meds to circlejerk/ram my Vk3001P as I run away screaming???

[Tordin Varglund]

Or reducing the MM spread?!

Terrible idea.

MM spread was higher back in beta and it was better that way. Roll back to changes that removed the need to lead your target in close quarters and MM spread wouldnt be an issue at all.

[Lusulpher]

? Better in a tactical way or strategic way?

Because tactically, a low tier meets a high tier and they have to run away.

And strategically, you find the T10 and you tell team to push other side while you delay it and die as slowly as you can.
I see this as being more simple, not necessarily, fun.


IF all tanks are T10 vs T10, then all sides must be played and even rescued for victory, much more challenge on both levels.


And what does target lead have to do with MM?

[Al Simmons]

I think the MM spread is too high, three tiers is way too much. What is an Easy 8 supposed to do against an E-75? Obviously you go after the smaller stuff, but you still usually get fucked in those battles.

Better in terms of fun factor. Killing Tigers and IS-2s in Pz3 and T-28 was the best and most fun way to play tanks.

Leading the target has to do with the nano style you would see pree 5.0 (?), where avoiding shells was much easier, thereby making light and medium tanks relying on speed much more viable. (85mm T-44 crew chekcing in)

[dzajic]

Times of warping and teleporting were only fun for mediums and lights. TDs were near pointless. Heavies could be honestly circle strafed by anything.

It is too easy to hit moving targets at this time yes. Perhaps uberhige unrealistic size of heavy tanks is there to allow lights and mediums to have chance of getting missed while moving? (trol Russian heavies with their medium/light sizes)

Unchecked crew training on Patton day Tier X mediums were announced crew checking in.

Yeah even though I got a lot of tier 9 battles in the easy 8 and was pretty much always like derp when I saw it the 2.7sec reload is pretty funny for keeping them tracked if that is all you can do. I have gotten rage from them over that especially if they use their repair kit.

Same, as well as my E-50 and T-54. Alas, CW is keeping me very busy I doubt I'll be ready for all three on day 1.

[PraetorNZ]
