  5. Hi Overlord,

    Would it be possible to get more specific details on the changed ROF of the guns above?

    Would be nice to know if the ROF is increased or decreased (save everyone the time of looking up each gun and calculating).

    Thanks.

  16. any one know what bug they fixed on the T-54?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow TDs have less armour, less health than tanks of same level (even meds) already! Why nerf them further!?

    This is completely insane, and may make me quit the game.

    Overlord, please explain why TDs were nerfed so badly across the board?

    ReplyDelete
  18. yes Overlord speak!

  19. Jagdpanther

    - traverse speed for top suspension decreased by 3 deg/sec
    - dispersion during movement increased by 5%
    - reload time for 10.5cm K18 L/52 set to 7.2 sec
    - reload time for 8.8cm PaK 43 L/71 set to 4.8 sec

    So if i get it right the 88mm will be a bit faster but the 105mm a bit slower? (difference below 1 sec)

    The current top traverse is 32 for jgpanther and 28 for panther.

    So if you lower it down to 29 i think it would be too low for a TD. 30-31 maybe ok. But to be as slow as panther wich is by the way too slow for that tank too, is not a good idea.

  26. Whittmann was a soldier,after that was incorporated into a army who ...etc etc.nonsense

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wittmann was a member of the SS from 1937 onward. He wasn't pressed into it, he chose to become a member of that sick bunch of psychos.

    Better to change the medal's name late than never.

  28. u know what Overlord... go ahead change it change everything nerf all ...pls go ahead ! thx BTW ...WIPE Malinovka please is ***** map

  31. And one more thing, why you're posting reload time in seconds, when in game is in rpm? It's not hard to convert but it makes whole thing harder to figure.

    ReplyDelete
  32. add more soviet tanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Why did you nerf my JagdPanther you incompetent ... No more premium from me doutchebags.

    ReplyDelete
  34. And again German armor gets nerfed. My math may not be good but it looks as though the high tier german TD's just lost their rate of fire advantage.
    And who cares if Whittmann was a member of the SS? The WaffenSS were still one of the finest military organizations of the entire war, regardless of the actions of the SS-TV "Death Head" units in the concentration camps. Seriously people, its time to put this behind us. Now, I despise the Nazi's as much as the next guy but I notice nobody ever mentions the fact that the Soviet Guards Divisions REPORTED raping up to 60% of the female populations which they "liberated". Or the fact that the Soviet Union was guilty of deliberately killing far more people than the Nazi's ever did, including Jews, POW's, political opponents, and racial minorities.

    Excuse me, but if my math is right (60/4.8=12.5) then that's not a change at all, that's what the RoF is right now...?

    ReplyDelete
  36. as is normal, allied crappy tanks are op, just cos there is something called game-balance..... if an 88 hits sherman, sherman is ko'd and prolly in flames, no matter if u hit it frot paltes or rear.... no u shoot 4 times and it's still moving...

    ReplyDelete
  37. "122mm M-30-S, aiming time set to 2.0 sec, dispersion set to 0.28" - a typo? hard to believe 0.28 accuracy for this short gun

    otherwise thanks for your hard work!

    ReplyDelete

  42. Why on earth do you nerf the already most underpower tank ingame (Slugger) Not only its the ONLY tank destroyer ingame that has a gun same as the heavy tanks its tier and is shooting slower but now the crappy already mobility gets nerfed ...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi Overlord plz change RoF on D25-T gun(T-44) thx :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. If I did numbers right Marder top gun gut nerf, 10.5com on Ferdi and JPanther got nerf. Hopefully it appears 12.8cm on Ferdi got buff.

    But those 3 deg/sec traverse speed on JPanther is major major nerf. Why? It was already "The last agile German TD".

  46. "- 122mm M-30-S, aiming time set to 2.0 sec, dispersion set to 0.28"

    Q: What exactly does the change to the 122 M-30-S do? Specifically the dispersion to 0.28?
    Is that the new accuracy of the gun at 100m, or is it the dispersion during movement multiplier or something?

    ReplyDelete
  47. It's obvious that most of you who complain about the Wittmann-Medal change don't think very far. Wargaming has a policy of not allowing everything that is related to German nationalsocialism or at least could be understood of promoting nationalsocialism. But it's kinda contradictory to have that policy if they name a medal after a member of the Waffen-SS. And the Waffen-SS was a part of the SS and thus part of Hitler's (or more: Himmler's) "political army". On the forums this contradiction has been pointed out several times, and now Wargaming finally reacts accordingly. And after all he is just one man that died long ago, I don't get the all this fuss about making a hero out of him for people who live today (even though some seem to live a bit more in the past actually).

    Regarding this shitty revisionism of nazi crimes:
    in the SU many crimes were committed. But exterminating a whole ethnical/religious groups by industrial means and enslaving the whole population of Eastern Europe is perhaps the most vile idea in history. This is a totally different dimension of "evil" in the way it all was conducted. And if you would analyse the numbers of deads in the SU and not just throw them around for political reasons, you would recognise the difference between Hitler's thoughtful and strategic extinction and Stalin's tyrany as well.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Well, it figures. A russian development team forcing their twisted nationalist views on the gaming community. Russia, the country that joyfully cooperates with North Korea and Iran...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Don't change Wittmann's medal name... He is the best and probably the most famous tank commander ever... using the same logic you can delete the whole German tank tree because it was used by Nazis... Come on...

    Untrue statement, hundreds of millions slaughtered by communists in the name of social progress. All the murder done in the name of a religion combined over the last 2000 years wont even come close to Stalin's numbers.

  58. Wittmann was a member of the SS and a Nazi. Quit lionizing these people, please. I don't care if he was a great tanker, you cannot separate the Nazism from the person, it just can't be done. It was such a vile form of government, I can't even begin to describe. Back in High School (early 80's) my Algebra teacher was a Concentration Camp survivor. He rarely talked to us students about his experiences, but I heard about some of them from my history teacher. And as far as crimes go under the Soviet Union, they weren't much different. In fact, by my estimation, between 1937 and 1945, Hitler and Stalin combined are responsible for the deaths of nearly 100 million people, war casualties, purges, pogroms, and persecutions included.

  61. retardation level is enormous with u devs. wtf are doing? ur fucking up a game with every patch! why nerve almost all german tanks? TD's arent tanks, cause they dont have a turret and still u nerve the traverse speed, like wtf..
    and make the 88mm gun the best of the game please, since it was during ww2 the best gun there was.. and i dont get it? why delete a medal for its name? who cares about it? nobody does! leave it be..

    ReplyDelete
  62. No intend to glorify anybody but your approach is trying to paint black and white. A lot of regular Wehrmacht soldiers committed war crimes and the regular generals caused more victims than "panzer elite" soldiers.
    When it comes to war even brave GIs raped German female POWs at large numbers but history books are written by the victors.

    Maybe the soviet propaganda machine should also be shut down but that won't play well with the Russian community which is more important.

    Tired of even commenting further nerfes of German TDs. It is an effort to introduce the new TD line which will be better than the old. Well, better than the old will be after next patch but not better than it was before ;-) poor object needs to stay OP ewven with poor player on the wheel.

  64. Ok, make the JagdPanther traverse speed slower but than i want a historical correct 8.8 gun. Sherman an most medium tanks one shoot BOOM, Light tanks all, one Shoot BOOM .....
    and make the front armour like it was, so the JagdPanther coulnt get killed from the front especially the engine, its still in the ass from the most tanks, they wont get destroyed from a front hit.

    PS: When you add the "M103" please add an "Leopard A1" because the M103 is from the 50es. Its not my fault that the US tanks where a peace of scrap during WW2. Ah...many US tanks have an open turret and were made of iron sheet (hope this is the correct word)i am realy sure that they could not resist an 8.8 or 7.5 more than one shoot. I THINK IM NOT ALONE WITH THIS MEANING ABOUT HISTORICAL CORRECNESS !!!

  66. added premium Chinese tier 8 medium tank Type 59??????????????????????????????????????

    surely there are more important fixes needed than adding a random Tier 8 tank from a country that didn't really feature in any of the major conflicts depicted by this game. This tank isn't even from the same era!

    ReplyDelete
  67. A Tip: Make an WoT with tanks beginning from the 1950th. So you can use the prototypes from the for example german E-Line, and can begin with the Korean and Vietnam stuff until you will shoot at a Pershing with a M1 and modern radar and target tracker.

    ReplyDelete
  68. It is unfortunate that a game supposed to be historically accurate about armoured warfare between 1939-45 has to have political undertones to the extent that one side is almost nameless and faceless.

    History is history, lets get on with our lives.

  70. Dear Overlord,

    I think that people who play and spend their money on your game should at least get a proper response.

    Ignoring a problem will not change the fact that tons of people are asking for an explanation about changing Wittmann's medal. Why do you keep avoiding the answer?

    We all see that you are active here because you already answered a few questions (obvious and blatant ones) but you keep avoiding the simply question: why are you changing this medal?

    This game is not about politics, about regimes, about who was a nazi and who was a commie, this game is about fun and also, learning some tank history (why not?)

    If you start censoring all german history between 1939-1945, you can just remove all the german tank tree...

    I am not talking about nerfing german tanks (which was explained by "balance"), that is your issue, but we are speaking about a simple medal change. Why? Why this censorship? Why changing the name of one of the best medals in game with some (lets be honest) unknown dude who is not as known as the legend Wittmann?

    Lets remove the fact he was a nazi, because you should have thought about this long before the game was released! IMHO this cannot be a reason for changing the name of this medal.

    Also, what about legendary Carius? Are you going to change also his medal?

    So, all in all, I think I am not the only one here who demand at least a single bit of explanation. Please, answer.

  72. Nothing about limiting Arty to 3 per side.. which in my opinion is ruining the game

    ReplyDelete
  73. Arty is fine. Its part of the rock paper scissors of the game. An arty nerf would mean the game would be strictly heavies dominating - leaving lights and mediums in the dust. You don't want rock to win all the time do you?

    ReplyDelete
  74. What will be the changes in T-54? They're not listed below the post in specific tank changes

    ReplyDelete
  75. Lord Azaghul,

    Limiting arty to say max 3 per side would not be nerfing them. It would actually make the tactics more diverse as avoiding arty wouldn't be the top priority all the time(it would still be an important aspect but it's dominating atm).

    ReplyDelete
  76. If you are going to change the name of the medal because he was SS, are you going to ban all the players called Wittmann for glorifying Nazidom?

    ReplyDelete
  77. This Wittmann issue has already been answered in the official forum, read that sometime noobs.

    For the record, i don't give a damn about the german lover retards, but in the EU server, there are a lots of them and i think it would be wise decision to change Wittmann's medal only on the RU server, because they were who start this complaining campaign against Wittmann's medal.

  78. Why do they write "set to" so much ? What were the original values ?
    Also is it just me or did the T25 get hit by the nerf-bat quite a bit ?

  79. Wow.. there is a lot of international, irrational rage here.... there is a lot of things that drive me nuts about this game, but there is a lot of things that make me go YES! I think any game that reside within a historical time frame will always run into not being to make people happy, someone will ALWAYS complain about something... as for the changes...people get USED to changes!! Change is part of life and the battlefield... learn to adapt and overcome. If the devs get to afraid to make cchange/tweaks to avoid nerd/pureiest/trollers rage then the game will stagnate and that will lead to drop off in players and then death of game...so before going heavy on the blamethrowing just relax a bit, try playing the new changes and see if now you may have to work with your team more then trying to run off by yourself to solo, and if you still so upset about it then stop playing and go outside and do something for your community to make this world a better place by adding to it....either way guys calm down peps. Dev keep up the changes, keep the game fresh and alive, but most of all take the posts and votes with a grain of salt. As long as you try to avoid favoring a gun,tank,nationality,person,group,clan,country, political, religious, revisions historians, company,media,legal,race,gender,alien over another you should be all set and make everyone happy very easy to do right?

    I will still beat any RU and US crap, because you have to be god player to get top tier German armor.

    BTW, I am looking forward to IS-4 in Tier X, it will probably have same specs as T-84 and gun from T-90.

  92. Firstly! I think it's an awesome game WoT. Driving araound in tanks from WW II and shooting the crap out of each other... But it's also the problem... I see more and more post-war tanks ingame and that imo is really sad. It's kind of unfair to pit ww II tanks against post-war tanks as they are WAY better ( no matter what nationality). The T59 is a prime example.. It was used long into the 70's and it is going to be fighting T-34s and Pz IVs among others. Fair fight? Hardly! Anyhow thnx for a great game! Can't wait for historical battles and I do hope you will make them so you can join in a random historical battle!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Hey Overlord I have a quick question.

    Q:There is some question and dispute on the forums whether or not the 100mm D10T or D10S got the RoF and aim-time buff. And, if it was the D10T, which tanks does the buff apply to?

    Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Oh, and ATTENTION EVERYONE!
    In the entire change log, the JP and T25 were the ONLY tanks to have gotten nerfed in a particularly serious manner.
    Other than that, The JPIV got buffed, the Ferdi got buffed, the JT got buffed, the Patton got buffed, etc etc etc.

    NONE of the USSR tanks got a particularly serious buff, or at least nothing on the level that the JT and Patton got buffed. Its pretty much ALL nerfs for the USSR tanks. So take your "BIASED DEVS AHHH!!!" posts and shove them up your backsides.

  96. WTF with Wittman's medal? It's offensive? Soviet symbols in the game ar not offensive?

    ReplyDelete
  97. Hi players, I'm German. What do I think about the medal change. I'm OK with it, he was part of the SS. Was he a pervert or just a tanker we don't know. Yup there are a lot perverts in war times on all sides. I felt though the wittmanns medal gave some balance to the game, since it was more focused for the Russian market. The only complain I have, the new medal name just sounds uncool. Sry but I still like the game.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I have nothing to complain about this patch even the tank i loved had already been nerfed from time to time, from patches to patches, and from the very begining of WOT. I do aware that Soviet tank averagely perform better than same tier US/German tank if the played by same person. I do notice that historical reality does not serve as the principle of how game designer make this game.

    Still, I must say that I have nothing to complain. Even the matchmaking is widely known as "auto unbalance", even all tier 6-7 tanks has to be very, very respected when they confront a fully researched KV.

    I still can say to all of you firmly and calmly, " Yes, this patch is fine."

    Because I did not pay for the game, not even a cent for the gold and premium, except my monthly internet fee.

    Good luck and have fun :)

  99. I play german and us tree for the challenge, everybody knows the Russian tree is for noobs and stat whores. Since they nerf according to win ratio, Russian tanks will be always better, again since it gets populated by noobs. I'm not complaining just setting things straight.

  105. I hope you guys have talked to that "Storm" dev over his ridiculous remarks about the Wittmans medal. Personally I couldnt care less what the in-game medals are called.....but trying to suggest that you don't base the worth of a tanker on the amount of kills he scored is ridiculous.

    You don't see the German players of this game complaining because you have French and Russian tanker medals, even though those tank commanders "killed their ancestors".

    Tell his to wise up and stop living in the past. Its 60 years ago. Let the grudge go ffs.

    ReplyDelete
  106. The change for wittmans medal is good. You could have taken Kurt Knispel as he was probably a better tanker and certainly a better human.

    ReplyDelete
  107. For all the people saying Wittmann was a pervert because he was a nazi: I suspect some of you would have became nazis or at least nazi supporters as well, had you lived in Germany in the thirties. This is based purely on probability - Hitler and his party was elected with a democratic process, having a third of all the votes in 1932. (Also, 44% in 1933 but that wasn't very democratic any more...)

    The same kind of thing is happening all the time, everywhere. People buy what the government and media is telling them. People don't really ever think for themselves. For example, eugenics was not just nazi thing. It's just that only the nazis were afterwards told it was a crime against humanity, the others just kinda forgot about their own views about it in silence.

    And when it comes to Wittmann, I doubt he became a nazi officer for the sake of an ideology. Do you not think he was doing the same thing you would have done - fighting for his country? Being good at that just tends to get one promoted to an officer.

    Hating an ideology is fine, but blindly hating people, that's just stupid.

  108. Regarding medals: It's time to add medals for destroying US and Soviet tanks as well like you have for the German tanks. That'll be a fair move and about time!

  109. OH MY GOD!
    Once AGAIN!
    The ONLY non-Russian tanks to have been seriously nerfed in this patch are the Jagdpanther and T25. The Ferdi got an RoF boost, the Jagdpanzer IV got an RoF and moving accuracy buff [although it will probably still suck], The Jagdtiger got its mobility buffed, the Patton got its moving accuracy buffed.

    I guess you can argue that the M36 nerf is pretty serious too.

    Other than that, its Russian tank NERFS all across the board. ALL of the guns listed [with 3 exceptions] are NERFED.

    Buffed German TD's. Buffed Patton. A bunch of NERFED Russian tanks.


    NOT RUSSIAN BIAS! Shut the hell up you guys.

    As for the Wittman medal, that's a different story. They replaced the name of a famous German tank ace with.... an even more successful German tank ace. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

    ReplyDelete
  110. This sucks... the German TD line is hard enough as is, JP is the first good tank in it after Hetzer, StuG and Jagdpanzer IV. JP is certainly not overpowered so why are you nerfing it?

    ReplyDelete
  111. both jagdpanther and t25 is quite a bit OP compared to su-152 atm, so nerfs on those are justifiable, BUT why is the gun on t25 getting nerfed to WAY worse stats than the gun on jagdpanther, even though it needs 20k more xp?

    also, when will the armor on t28 and t95 be fixed, as they take 100% damage from HE to the front?

  113. Overlord, is there any chance WG would consider balancing M36 by means other than a mobility nerf? The US turreted TDs are already completely unlike their historical counterpart as far as mobility goes, with mobility well below that of a medium tank of the same hull and weaker engine. Can't WG reduce M36's armour or HP before taking away more mobility?

  123. Just a little trivia about ex SS soldiers after the war. Yup there are the ones that believe whatever they did was right, some of them are still racists. But a lot of them hated the war like a lot soldiers. So voices where killed or didn't speak up. After the war a group of ex SS soldiers were against the rearming of Germany for the cold war and they organized against it. History is ironic and seldom black and white. I'm German and a lot of us know Russia suffered the most with all other eastern European countries. My ancestors were Czech-German-Jews. First the Nazis took half of my family, the Jews. The cechs kicked out my German side and the Russians took the property of my whole family. It's too confusing to have a grudge against anyone.

  136. Due to the fact that Wittmann's medal is being substituted due to the organization that Wittmann belonged to, I demand that in return the Josef Stalin series of tanks be renamed. If a medal is to be renamed just because the person was a member of the SS, then the Stalin Tanks MUST be renamed. After all, their namesake was personally signed the orders responsible for the murder of 40,000 people, and his purges killed another 700,000. If Wittmann is to be removed from the game for belonging to an organization, and Stalin MUST be removed for personally authorizing the murder of hundreds of thousands of people.

  147. Hey Overlord.
    Just curious as to why you still haven't buffed the JagdTiger's front armour to at LEAST coincide with historical stats (120mm to 150mm at the very minimum). I am honestly tired of being penetrated by Tier 7 tanks, when a T9 TD is front on supposed to be a match for a T10 heavy. That's the reason we choose Tank Destroyers after all; sacrifice turret movement/mobility for frontal power relative to their tier. The T95 and Object 704 are like this; the Object with alpha firepower and the T95 with obscene armour coupled with good firepower. What does the JagdTiger get? Equivalent if not weaker armour due to slope than the 704 and equivalent alpha damage to the T95; add to this you've violated the historical integrity of the vehicles to unfairly nerf the JagdTiger in this fashion. Again, purely interested in hearing/reading your reasons; am very intrigued.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Overlord, I'm curious about the rationale behind the xp and credit price for the new T5 light tanks (all trees). They have a 3-4 times higher XP for research and 2-3 times higher cost than anything else on T5 (heavy, med etc). The stats look good, so they will be fierce tanks, but the price/xp is a pretty high and actually closer to T6-7. This is not the biggest problem for players with high tier tanks in their garage, but for new players starting from tier 1 they are for all practical purposes inaccessible unless they get a T6-7 on some other branch of the tree first.

    and the random battles need more tier margin, it's too easy to fight with Pz4 against Lowe or IS3
    it's much fun being oneshotted, so T3,4 are the best

    """I will answer this question""". Yeah it's called the running skill. Once a shot is fired a crew member has to run really fast. He has to reach the tank before the shell and drill a whole. Depending on his "drill skill" the shell has less armor to penetrate. Only risk is your crew member gets hit by his own shell if he is not quick enough. Since he can run faster than a shell, he should be not at risk getting rolled over by enemy tanks, maybe some quick movers. The next level of skills is having different drills for different steel types. Also the IQ extender, for crew member to calculate the shell normalization angle while running. I hope that helped a little.

  163. Hi Overloard,

    Perhaps its a big ask but could you give more details about vehicle bug-fixes (as standard please) in your BLOG.

    For example:
    "Fixed tank models: T92, Pz V-IV, Pz38 NA, T-54"

    "Changed hit boxes for German tanks E-50 and E-75: mudflaps, rangefinder caps".

    It's nice to know that things have been 'fixed' -but without a frame of reference it's hard to appreciate the fix if you dont understand what the problem was.

    From a personal point of view I drive most of the vehicles mentioned above So I, at least, have a personal interest in wanting to know what was wrong and what was done to remedy the problem.

    Perhaps I'm spoiled but when I played WOW character class fix/updates were always verbosley explained in patch-notes -as an aid to game-play.

    Besides I hear WOT in the Battlenet stable has been given greater scope recently as of the success of WoT -so perhaps its time to up yer game when it comes to Community Expectations -particularly when considering premium accounts :)

    Cheers

  166. With the wheel removed from your bike,bicycle carbon wheelsbicycle repairs. I personally recommend replacing a tube when you get a leak, but that is not always possible. If done properly, a patch will work just fine. Here’s how it’s done.
    Required Tools
    Is one of the most common, inspect the outer surface of the tire to make sure there are no sharp objects like a thumb-tack or thorn stuck in the tread.
    Remove Tire
    Remove the valve cap and fully deflatecarbon bicycle wheelthe tube by depressing the valve stem with the hooked end of your tire lever. There are two main types of valve stems, a schrader valve and a presta valve. This tutorial is based on a schrader valve, but I will be covering the different valve types in another tutorial.
    Now it’s time to remove your tire, one side at a time. Choose a section of tire that is away from the valve and hook one of the tire levers under the bead, directly in line with one of your spokes. Pry one side of the tire bead over the edge of the rim, and then hook the end of the tire lever to the nearest spoke. Insert another tire lever two spokes away from the first, and a third another two spokes away. Now the middle lever should fall out, and you can continue the process. When the tire is loose enough you can just run a tire lever around the rest of the rim to pull the whole side over.
    After you have removed one side of the tire, the ICAbike01 other side should come off very easily.
    Now remove the tube from the tire, and trycarbon fiber bicycle frameto keep track of where it was positioned in relation to the tire. Inflate the tube to approximately twice its original size. This will expand the hole making it easier to find.
    Listen carefully to the entire circumference of the tube; you should hear a hissing sound that will indicate where the leak is. As a last resort you can submerge the tube in water and watch for bubbles, but you’ll want to avoid doing this as you’ll need the tube to be completely dry in order for the patch glue to work.
    Once you’ve found the leak, take note ofzipp 404whether it is on the inner or outer side of the tube.
    If the hole was on the outer side of the tube, inspect the inner surface of the tire in that spot to make sure the object that caused the puncture is not still stuck in the tire. Double check the entire inner side of the tire by running your fingers along the entire surface, feeling for obstacles along the way.
    If the hole was on the inner side of the tube, inspect your entire rim to make sure there are no sharp burrs in the metal, and that the rim tape is properly protecting t
