World of Tanks – Another Mega QnA with Developers

“Front line”

Is it planned to introduce the “Front line” mode fortanks not only of VIII level, but, for example, VI or X?

We want to wait for the results of the first season and only then decide what the second should be. Now we are considering this possibility.

What measures will you take on wheeled vehicles in the “Front Line”?

The problem in general is in light tanks in the mode (in everything that is fast and hardly noticeable). We changed the rules (with light equipment instead of three slots for combat reserves left alone) and we will see how this affects the situation.

Do you plan to make statistics on the “Frontline” in the future so that you can see the player’s performance indicators?

We are working on it.

Can we expect balance changes on the map? For example, point B is captured easily. And point C is hard to capture.

We recognize that at some points things are not the best, but rebalancing requires changes on the map. They will be available next season.

Will there be any more maps for the Frontline?

A new map is sure to be added. Soon, players will be able to test it.

WoT – Reddit Mega QnA with WG developers

Reddit Ask Me Anything  with Creative Director Andrey Bitletsky and Publishing Director Max Chuvalov.

 

Question:

Why were the changes for 30B scrapped and can we ever expect a buff for it? The long-awaited buff for the statistically worst T10 medium has disappeared without a trace and WG is strangely silent about it. Obviously, the 430 line changes needed to be postponed, and I can’t complain that you take your time with them, but 30B was uncalled for at best.

Answer:

We decided to go with a different plan for 30B after reviewing initial tests outcomes. It is a bit early to give you guys any details on it though, sorry

 

 

Question:

Additional artillery nerfs when? The mechanic is still broken and overpowered, especially at lower tiers.

How is a new player supposed to deal with an LEFH or M44 stat padder at tier 4/5/6 etc?

I’m pretty sure M44 has the highest win rate of any tier 6 tech tree tank, AND highest DPG… and it does it from across the map, and did I mention it stuns???

Thanks

Answer:

Yes, we want to rebalance low levels. As the rest of the levels =) At the moment a series of Sandbox tests are running, where we are checking a different take on balance in the game. If that happens to be a good idea and community likes that, we will definitely make huge changes on low-mid-high levels. That will touch many aspects of the game if it proofs to be the right way.

 

 

Question:

Any plans for RHM Panzerwagen?

Answer:

Nothing in particular at the moment. All plans are on hold until we will figure out the fate of the grand rebalance AKA shells rebalance that we are toying with right now

Reddit Q&A

EU
Question:
Will there me more tier X cosmetics like the ones we got in the Christmas boxes? They are a great way to monetize the game instead of op premium tanks.

Answer:
Yes, we are working on many more of those, you will see quite soon

Question:
Considering how some older premiums have already received buffs (Pz 58 Mutz, STA-2 as the latest examples) is there anything planned to say amx CDC, T34, Löwe and so on? These tanks are surpassed by a lot of tanks in their performance and statistics already, like comparing the Progetto M35 46 and the CDC there’s really no contest, or T34 to any other high alpha heavy tank.

Answer:
We are constantly working on actualizing premiums to current meta game. Currently we are running sandbox tests of new balance for all tiers and vehicles. Whatever the outcome of the tests is: we will balance all the vehicles up to a new scheme. If it doesn’t go to prod, we will do a balancing up to a current scheme.

Question:
Nobody likes to have 3 arty in one battle. Are there any plans for reducing the max number of artillery pieces in one match?

Answer:
With current MM we are trying to make sure that 3 arties battles as well as 0 arty battles happen with predictable regularity. No plans to change the limit from 3 to 2 at the moment.

Question:
With the new ammo changes introduced, are we going to see the super heavies with non-existent frontal weak spots (cupolas/lower plates) added weak spots to them?

Answer:
If new balance changes to ammo and HP goes live, we will have to look into all the vehicles and their behaviour in the new meta. We cannot give a definite answer at the moment.

Question:
Are there any plans to reintroduce 9.22 maps which were removed in 1.0, such as Pearl River and Swamp?

Answer:
Right now, we are looking what maps should be next, Pearl River is one of the candidates.
