Q&A – 28th March 2016

– tipping over is more difficult in the game than in real life, this is intentional;
– the mass of tanks is fine;
– the bug where at a certain moment in battles, “Esc” and “Enter” cannot be pressed, will be fixed soon;
– skill-based MM will not come to randoms for sure;
– specific information on all promised changes will come immediately before the release of the specific patch;
– income factor of premium tanks was not changed, otherwise it would appear in the patchnotes;
– the characteristics of the British tier 10 TD FV4005 will not be changed in the near future;

– an option of replacing the Lorraine 40t for the Bat.-Chat. 25t AP is being discussed, but nothing final on this yet;
– problems with freezing frames in the client is, most likely, a problem with the specific hard-/software/settings;
– nerf of tank reverse on slopes is working on steep slopes only;
– headlights on tanks are difficult to model dimension-wise without transparency;

– the client which is being tested right now will have an extended filter, regarding a carousel with multiple rows – not everything at the same time;
– earlier, there were more artillery players and its’ stats were better;
– the devs do not say that the artillery situation is normal and that it mustn’t be fixed, rather something in the middle;
– no plans to change maps in 9.15;

– Storm: “this is not a bug, these are special ramps on platforms so that tanks don’t hang there; this was important in the old physics system, but now they could possibly be removed”;
– premium vehicles are buffed almost in every patch and never nerfed;
– devs have a negative attitude to forbidden mods, no announcements on fighting them yet, they have reasons for that;
– no plans on buffing the British tier 7 HT Black Prince; Storm: “by the way, although I “don’t play tanks”, i have grinded through the British HT’s, and it’s a good tank”;
– no comments on new tanks/branches, there can be various changes in release plans, so no specifics;
– no SPG rebalance in 9.15, it will come later;
– no “silent” nerfs happened to income factors of tier 5-6 premiums;
– Storm: “patchnotes aren’t made by robots” (implying there can be mistakes);
