WoT Q&A – 16th May 2020

Compiled by u/watsik227.

Transcript of Circon’s stream with Andrey Biletskiy.

  • Wheeled vehicles: plans to make them easier to stop, nothing else so far. If the change doesnt reduce their effectiveness enough, other changes will come.
  • individual rebalance is high priority currently
  • British medium wheeled vehicles considered
  • reason for nerfs taking so long is WG waiting for meta to adjust to a new addition, for everyone to have the time to get that addition and produce data.
  • Chinese meds are on the list of rebalance
  • big rebalance is still on the table, although on the very back edge.
  • point of arty is to reduce effectiveness of strong tanks in strong positions
  • Andrey admitted there are issues with tier 5-6 arty
  • gold shell rebalance test was a success, HE was a massive fail and arty was a semi fail
  • T6 Medium has a derp gun because it is historically accurate
  • every tank configuration in the game existed at least as a technical specification or an order of specific characteristics
  • derp guns will not be touched until shell rebalance
  • some tanks having small shell storage is historical, as long as WG thinks these tanks are playable they will not increase their shell counts.
  • Manticore has the highest avg. dmg of all tier 10 LTs
  • Manticore will not be buffed as statistically it is overperforming and Andrey even admits it is because only good players play it. Makes sense to WG apparently
  • UK LT line is the least popular line within the least popular class
  • inability to grind missed expedition tokens is because getting 1 tank is easy and WG wants you to put in the time if you want 2.
  • possible ability to grind missed tokens is on the radar
