Do you think there is some rebalance required?<br /><br />2) Regarding the WoWP closed beta, everyone who sent a request for the public Alpha will get accepted in the closed beta, or there will be still some players that will have to wait?<br /><br />3) How much your routine changed when you become a developer of WoWP? Would be nice to get some kind of reports of the life inside WG :)<br /><br />Thank youFrancescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488231369595585689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-43106538854298867982012-05-25T14:22:09.504+03:002012-05-25T14:22:09.504+03:00In WoWP?

The real Tiger's strength was engaging the enemy before they could get in range to shoot back (like over 1000 meters, for example). Once the enemy did, THEN they had to contend with the Tiger's armor. The 88's range was what made it so lethal.<br /><br />WoT's combat range does not allow this to happen for ANY tank. Most direct fire combat happens under 500 meters, at best. More typically, around 2-400 meters. This is why russian tanks are likely to feel a bit more favorable, because most of the upper tiers were designed as assault tanks in real life. The ranged advantage the german vehicles had in real life isn't going to happen because of the limits of the game engine.HunterKiller37https://www.blogger.com/profile/09778907553532328183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-223377356934563732012-05-25T00:06:39.284+03:002012-05-25T00:06:39.284+03:00@plasot

The issue is what opposes them. WoT, by its design, encourages players to run to the top of their tree, and since these spots are populated by post-war or prototype/blueprint-only tanks, the opposition is fiercer than the real Tigers, et al, had to deal with.<br />If there was a game mode that admitted only serving vehicles, and those only in realistic proportions, I would be there all the time. Right now, the game attempts to engage two populations - serious historical simmers and FPSers - and handles neither to their full satisfaction.The TechSmithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112804359917725052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-38307164430656251142012-05-23T19:00:04.075+03:002012-05-23T19:00:04.075+03:00I tend to disagree.

The problem is that, as I'm working towards the VK4502P, I'm slowly realizing that it has virtually no redeeming qualities over the E-75 and a litany of weaknesses. I don't know if its necessarily a bad tank since I do not yet own one, but it does seem to be clearly inferior tot he E-75. <br /><br /><br />Its performance stats, as you have said, are withing acceptable bounds, and I believe you, but out of mere pittance to some of the forum whiners could the devs possibly shave off half of a second off of reload speed? Or just something tiny like that so it looks like it has SOME kind of advantage over the E-75?<br /><br />Thank you, and again I'm sorry for making a post like this in such an unsuitable spot.Tupinambishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629139445611147298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-52257218136751443172012-05-23T17:37:33.669+03:002012-05-23T17:37:33.669+03:00i think they did it the other way round. went from...i think they did it the other way round. went from rts to fps.<br /><br />they have a game called order of war.Vizierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887232840594355156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-25979120423028639312012-05-23T16:27:44.755+03:002012-05-23T16:27:44.755+03:00The Tiger always had a reputation that far exceede...The Tiger always had a reputation that far exceeded its macro influence.
