24.03.2015 Q&A

Not much for today:

- There might be an issue with the way the gun barrel marks (for damage done) are awarded, numerous players have complained that they do not work well recently. Storm will investigate but later - currently, the developers are busy with "stabilizing the 9.7 client";
- Wooden logs on Soviet tanks will not be reworked to work like spaced armor;
- In the future, the track lings hanging on the HD tank hulls and turrets will all work like additional armor (RG: I'm actually excited for this);
- It's completely possible that the current batch of premium vehicles removed from sales will not be the last one;
- The shop vehicles removed will be replaced by "new, unique vehicles".

    Marks of Honor don't seem to be consistent. I just got third on Stug, but have none on KV-220, even though it's WN8 is higher and I had several 10,000 WN8 games in it. Same for Pz IV, my highest WN tank, no marks yet. I'm wondering of there's a game minimum you must pass for it to come into effect or something...

      There is - it averages your last 100 games in it since the marks were added, so if you are below 50, it's pretty much impossible to get the mark. The best players start to get them around 50 - 60 games.

      WN8 is based towards damage done / tank hp..
      It is also mixed with how others do. Bear in mind that spotting, hitting at range, hitting close up, killing, win rate, death rate and such all change your resultant wn8 score. If your eager and dig into it, you can also understand how to pad it if you want to.

      The honor marks are a bit skhewed.. In fact, I think WG puts in some random data, I only say that because on the day some new tanks are released you should get people getting 3 marks (playing 5 good battles, vs 1000 players who got 1 crappy battle) easily. So I think some tanks have a padded stat value put in place to help avoid manipulation. The M Badges work like this too... I remember one day getting a 2nt class badge for a win of like 1300xp (I was shocked), but a few days later I got a M badge for a 800xp win.
      That's the thing with stats... They work really great as a ROUGH guide, but unless your resetting them after every server and tank change then you cant compare. Now that hit % is less then you should see less 3 mark tanks, give it a month and they should start appearing again.

      On my american tanks I just choose the camo paint that puts two white rings around my gun :) Works for me, I'm even deadlier :)

    Storm is an arrogant arse. According to him some of us who provided feedback on this were wrong. I wrote down my average damage for 100 games and for several tanks the average damage went up while the MoE percentage went down and vice verse, checking against overall statistics (for that tank) showed near no change.
    This has not broken down lately it has been broken from the start either in it's description or on it's implementation.

    People have watched too many movies. Yes, I am talking about you, stupid Fury movie. Just imagine, a log blocking a 88mm shell. Good grief.

      Well, it could happen if the log is of ample thickness, density, and overall stalinwood

      Oh ffs, here we go again.

      In case you don't remember, that was a very shallow angle with which the Tiger hit the side of the Fury. Because auto-bounces are legit only WoT, right?

      spaced armor is not supposed to block a birdshit. Its supposed to detonate a HE shell before it reaches actual armor. And wood should be able to do that.

    No tank is more unique than TOG. TOG is the only one, TOG is the life.
