[MMO] World of Tanks

Decreasing the gun velocity will likely hurt pen/damage...

Read the patch notes, good stuff. They removed the dog yelping when you ran over the doghouse. I have to admit, I'm one of those weird people who didn't like it. (My dog in the room with me didn't like it either)

Yeah, the first time I heard that I was torn between being disturbed and laughing. It got more disturbing when people would intentionally drive over as many as they could...

 

[slag]

I never noticed or paid attention to the dog yelping. heh, weird..

It actually was quite funny the first time I heard it. I guess they needed to balance it, maybe a cat screaching when you knock over a random tree.

In a real world application yes, but this is WoT.

To me it seems more of a correction of the overpenetration where the rounds were penetrating all the way through the tanks without doing any damage. Rather than slowing/stopping within the compartments and doing damage as they should.

It could also just mean time to target. They might keep the same values, but overall depiction of the shot would be slowed down. Then again, I have no idea.

I thought that they were overall lowering shell movement through tanks after penetration.

Set limitation on the distance of projectile movement inside the tank after the armor penetration.

It will certainly effect time of flight... trying to counter arty slightly?

 

[PlasmaBomb]

I suppose that one of the prime questions is -

Added match-making limitation on participation in high tier battles for tanks Valentine and T1 heavy.

What does that mean? You won't be thrown in against high tier tanks unless you are a heavy?

Match-Making System:
- Balance-weight of tanks does not increase when in a platoon.
- Removed influence of modules on the balance-weight of a tank.
- Added one more battle tier for the high tier vehicles: HT 10,9,8,7; MT 8,7; SPG 5,6; TD 7,8,9.

 

[lupi]

That was my thought as well; currently the rounds have a bit of a lazer beam feel to them...but that is partly due to the smallness feel of the maps.

This should make some of the fast movers even more deadly.

I'd say someone could compare before and after patch gun data to see if this velocity change did indeed affect pen values....but the numbers have always been somewhat meaningless as it was presented without any distance parameters so penetration effect could be accomplished with a change required to those "stock" pen listings.

I thought that they were overall lowering shell movement through tanks after penetration.

It's hard to say if they are individual changes or interrelated. I guess we'll see.

I'd have to disagree strongly that the rounds are traveling too quickly if the penetration issue is removed from the discussion. It does take a while for them travel downrange when sniping from long distances.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Yeah... Tanks should be able to snipe at 1km... they currently can't (due to maps, physics etc.)

 

[The Boston Dangler]

the tank info i've seen shows round penetration referenced at 1000m. the maps are only 1km sq. and vision is only about 450m on a good tank

Spent a little time with Heati901 and some other guy.

My apologies. I connected via TeamSpeak3 but apparently I had some connection problems (downloading Lord Of The Rings Online at the same time) which interferred with team voice chat.

Had a few good games with fellow AT'ers. I hope to get my connection problem is fixed, but it might not be for a day or two.

Would be sweeter if we could get more people together.

 

[Nik]

Yep! If I'm logged in, I'm up for a platoon. Speak up in the ATOT channel in-game

I think it means low level heavies won't get stuck in as many high tier heavy battles. Sounds like overall they are trying to make matches more even

 

[Skott]

I might try the American medium tank line. Try and push to get my KV3 to an IS by this Friday hopefully and then start an American medium tank line. I need another 27k xp to research an IS.

Good work on the guide(s):thumbsup:
I suggest any new players read these for a quick reference start to the game.

 

[Magusigne]

I'm up for a platoon as well.

Currently working on a Maxed VK-H to Tiger. Have a KV and an A-20 and of course my Grille.

 

[HarvardAce]

I'd be up for a platoon this evening, but I don't have anything past tier 3 at this point.

 

[Genx87]

American TDs could be fun.

 

[Exterous]

I'd be up for a platoon this evening, but I don't have anything past tier 3 at this point.

I'd be down this evening/night - assuming a remote office's network connection doesn't go down again like last night....

Server is being restarted.

I do not think this is for the patch. I think it's just a precaution to settle down some of the lag.
