12.04.2015 Q&A

Here it is:

- Apparently, WG is trying out a new mechanism: bonus codes that - instead of just giving you something for free - activate exclusive missions instead;
- Storm confirms that player-presented screenshot without many heavy tanks in hightier battles do not represent the real overall situation (in other words, overall there's enough of heavies in battles);
- There are no plans to ban the Battle Assistant artillery mod;
- Russian server will have a 9.7 mission where the best new French branch players (conditions currently unknown) will be able to get the Type 59 and Type 62 tanks;
- Xbox One WoT will run on 1080p but not on 60 FPS (it will be less) (WoT for Xbox One will come later this year);
- Xbox One WoT players will be able to play with Xbox 360 ones.


The special missions from bonus codes mentioned above include:

- Finish one battle, get 5 days of premium;
- Win 10 battles while destroying no less than one enemy in each, get the LTP light tank and a garage slot.

  2. LTP?
    I suffered so much with the accuracy nerf.. IMO, it deserve accuracy improved to 0.45 or 0.44 as shots tend to fly everywhere now..

  3. Any chance of having those codes?

  4. Once again they're in denial about what the MM is like. Sure enough, I have no doubt the RU servers have no troubles at all with the amount of players there are. But their MM system is not build for the less popular servers, and it shows with how ridiculous it can get at times. Past few weeks I've seen so many games where its nothing but one type of tank. When will they realise that players are willing to wait just that little extra while to get a game, if it means that it's balanced?

    1. If people are only running one type of tank as in the Chinese server (Type 59). What else is their to place if only tank that people are running isthe Type 59.

    2. No, no you really havent, Otis. You might have had 2, max. Maybe. (Apart from the T7 swarms of course). Far more likely youre a liar.

    3. Have not had battles with one type of tank, have seen battles with no heavies, battles with 10-13 TD's, 12+ meds, etc. It happens, and is not as rare as you may think.

    less than 60fps? Thats ok because console players only can see max 30fps anyway :)

    1. Cant wait to hear them complain about unfair advantage and so on.

      PC master race!

    2. Unfer plane because you have a PC instead of a console :D?

      Delete
    3. :D :D :D
      so true :D
      but 15fps is also "not on 60 FPS"

      Delete
  6. Well, there is no need for console players to have more than 60fps because most TVs are not even natively 60hz unless they hook up the console to a PC screen.

    But yeah, that is the same situation for PC players. if you have a 60hz monitor you will benefit little having more than 60 fps.

    PC players are a master race I must admit because a PC is so much more then a console. PC is love, PC is life! I love my watarcooled PC so much it is almost "funny" <3 :P.

    1. Human eye cant see above 24 fps m8

    2. Oh really Vipez ?
      You can't see above 60/70 FPS

      Delete
    3. Vipez - you have no idea about FPS, right?
      You might don't SEE the difference much - after a certain fps...
      but you FEEEEEL it... and thats how the fps works.

      We don't talk about shitty movies here - but interactive games :)

      (ps. and sub 30... you see a lot of micro jerks btw)

    4. Do u know the difference of frames and full pictures?

      Delete
    5. LCD panels in modern TVs usually do 60hz natively.

      Newer TVs with their magic frame-interpolation stuff (smoothvision and the like) are 120hz panels, and some can even be rigged to to "proper" 120hz (instead of taking a 60hz input and creating every other frame).

      Even old CRT-based TVs run at 60hz, the roughness of lower framerates just isn't as apparent because of the properties of CRTs.

      I guarantee you, there's a marked difference in the feeling between 24/30fps and 60fps; the former feel like a shuddery mess. I feel sorry for future XBone players and their gimped framerate.

    6. @ Vipez
      LOL you should visit a doctor then.
      24fps is interpreted as smooth motion, however you definitely can see more than 60. Neon tube (that light bulb) blinks at 60Hz and you can see it.

      IMHO minimal fps depends on game. At leas for me.
      I have no problem playing strategies or RPG on 30fps, but if I play racing game or shooter, 30 is low for me. around 50 its okay, 60 with v-sync is perfect.

  7. Could somebody pls tell me why would WG ban Battle Assistant?

    1. It helps = not everyone has it = Unfair advantage = cheat.

      And yes XVM and stuff counts into that. (especial pre "Map-locations" update from WG)

      Delete
    2. why should they, it has been discussed to include the battle assistant in the main game.

      Delete
    3. If they do- good for us. Till then - *see post above*

      Delete
    4. Battle assistant is a mod that actually won some competition. not sure if it was official WG competition though. They said its okay to use it, some of the devs even said its really good.

      It's kinda good, but its pesky to install it every time a patch is released. The best thing about it, was the zoom out function.. you could see whole map on the screen.

      Delete
  8. - There are no plans to ban the Battle Assistant artillery mod;

    Like they could ban any mod / skin / bot / cheat... (or WOULD - IF they could).

    1. But they will be angry at you if you use cheats :D

    2. Who?......

      But if you refer to wg - I guess they are just jelly, since they can't get their own bots running :I

    3. Man, using cheats is about characther. Weak people will use cheats to try to improve their results. Cynical people will use cheats, because why not. Trolls will use cheats to piss off others and feed their ego. People with real character will use brains/witts/smarts/experience and will still outplay the ones with cheats... My 50 cents on the matter.

      P.S. XVM is not a cheat. It is public, it is free and accessible to everyone. I you do not use it, it is your personal choice. I like the draw distance square, and view range/spotting range circles.

  9. "Finish one battle, get 5 days of premium".
    I actually might be able to finish that mission.

  10. They sure are eager to give out previously gift-only tanks...

    ...except, y'know, the Tetrarch, arguably the only one that wasn't either sub-par or just plain crap.

    The LTP is probably the best of the bunch, and even it's just a T-127 that's worse in most ways : \

  11. 1. Apparently, WG is trying out a new mechanism: bonus codes that - instead of just giving you something for free - activate exclusive missions instead; - now that's personal mission :D i mean, "personal" mission.
    2. Storm confirms that player-presented screenshot without many heavy tanks in hightier battles do not represent the real overall situation (in other words, overall there's enough of heavies in battles); - maybe he's right, just there are not enough other classes :v http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag406/b3k4y/shot_008_zps40g7ybnz.jpg

  12. There are what, 8 french tanks coming out? The Type 59 and 62 things might wind up being similar to the Imperial Steel event they had when the Japanese line came out- A Type for the top scorer for each of the new tanks after a month and a 62 for the second place guy for each, kind of thing.

  15. of course you can't play with 60FPS on XBox 360, the whole system is capped to 30FPS (same for PlayStation 3)
