  5. Thanks for quick responses, it's even easier to get answers here ;)

    Btw will the T92 have the 240mm gun, and when will we see their characteristics?

  6. Elias,

    T92 is being finalized currently. Most probably it will get 240mm gun with about 3k damage per shell.

  10. Now, that will hopefully put fear of God back into HT drivers heads.

    Question time - are you planning any rebalancing and changes to SPG mechanics to go with release of tier8, or it's staying the way it is now?

    Also, do you have data about SPG usage and efficiency post nerf-patch?

  11. nice blog Overlord, thank you for doing it!

    I have one question if i may. The Soviet tier 8 artillery object 261 it's on a is-3 chassis or is-7?

  12. Heh, the 38 na looks like it could be fun. Thanks Overlord!

  13. wah wah,

    will see how it goes. At the moment no major rebalancing planned.

    SPG usage saw 2-3 per cent drop.

  14. "KV-5, KV-13, Lowe, Pz. 38 Na"

    seriously? KV-5? 100tons KV-5? what will it be, like tier11 for russians? :P

  16. Nice blog Overlord, thank you for doing it and show us some nice thing here!
    Can't wait to try them :)

  17. Overlord, does the the 2-3% drop of SPG players you mention refer to the total number of players or the total number of SPG players. If the first one is the case i wonder what the total number of SPG players is.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Albert,

    it refers to the total number of players. SPGs population went down from 14-15% to 12-13%.

  19. I know it is preliminary to say with certainty, but if those SPGs are being finalised, does it mean we can look forward to seeing them added in the next patch?
    btw nice blog :)

  20. Nice blog. Quick question. Will tier 8 be released before or after full release? Only asking because I have been grinding the GW-Tiger under the impression tier 8 would be released before release(and hard wipe). Thanks in Advance.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Alpoc,

    likely that after the release.

  22. Hey there Overlord, I've got a quick pair of questions. Right now with the Russian SPGs, I see very little incentive to advance from the SU-14/S-51 to the Obj. 212 because they use the same gun. I believe that the Obj. 212 has slightly quicker reload, but does that really make it qualify as a t7 spg? Furthermore, why would I want to advance even farther down the tree to get the Obj. 261 if I'm losing cannon size? Is it going to have really great accuracy and/or rate of fire to make up for the loss in shell damage? Anyways, these are just some of my concerns with the Russian spg's and I appreciate you taking the time to run this blog. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks a lot.

    Vect
