Cutting the video off as they asked a question about the british release was bad timing! Otherwise, it's good to see that WG sees the general playing community as "untrustworthy" to be able to strategize and coordinate for battle modes that take good communication to succeed. That doesn't exist for most battles and is a very accurate, if not sad, realization as to the level of public play that occurs in a team based online game!

At least we will see better battle modes that still provide diversity while not requiring players to be able to communicate!

Well, I'll say this much. He's right. Ordinary players cannot be trusted to play a mode such as Escort. Namely, the majority go off half-cocked brained and attack the other side without thinking it through. So, Sergei, you're absolutely right. However, I don't think we'll Historical or Garage any time soon this year. Expect those in first and second quarters 2013.

What about escout for TCs, this would be great added in mode when playing Tank Companies which are generally have better team work.

Currently we want to implement Historical battles for TC's first.

So tier 8 arties become tier 10 and they'll add some more in the middle?

 Backfat, on Jul 11 2012 - 16:17, said:

I hope so.  Cause the splash damage on a tier 10 arty - I mean they wouldnt even have to aim.  It is cool they are making tier 8 light tanks for other nations.

Ugh:
Confirmation on tier 9 and 10 SPGs

It is planned to move the tier 8 SPGs to tier 10, and add in new SPGs in the gaps, the tier 8s will NOT get buffed.

I'm aware.

Current tier 8s moved to tier 10 with new ones at 8 and 9 = tier 9 and 10 SPGs.

I'm not bemoaning a buff, I'm bemoaning an increase to an already overabundant number of SPGs in circulation.  Tier 8 moving to tier 10 means an instant two free high tier SPGs for each SPG tree every player has finished.  We'll be begging to go back to the days where we regularly saw ONLY 4 per side.

Ermm... I'm so sure that will change with the new MM (well not for the worst anyway...)

Tier 10 SPGs, good idea.

Not going to be a good idea when you get a match and your top tank is an arty and they have a tier 10 heavy.

We better add it for ASAP #3, since probably many players would like to understand Game Designers vision on this question. Also Bat Chat 155 will be slightly nerfed in 7.5

LOL uh oh here comes the flame threads :-)

[lukecis]

hahah why did i find the voice over so funny?  also, they said they hope for T10 TD's to balance the game more, i think  there going to completely make T7 super-unbearable, since we all know T7 will be put in T10 TD matches, and get destroyed in 1 -2 shots. and when they were talking about bots, i thought , why don't they just make the bots like team training, where you receive no xp or creds for the dmg/kills/scouts i mean having bots just to learn the weak spots, or if you want to do a challenge run with an friend with 15 bots on the other team and see if you can win would be awesome!

[DBrimstone]

You know what I want? High tier lights. I love my chaffee to death and got very excited when he said they were looking into other high tier lights (USSR being the issue there)...I want an m41 walker bulldog. That's all I want. Because there isn't one in game, I did the grind up the french lights because I figured at least they were high tier lights. And they're fun and I love them. But want I really want is high tier american lights. Is it possible to add some tree's of lights and not others? Like American and German (if the designs are there. I assume they are as Germans were tank designing machines) and not Russian?

Might be worth making points from my post #18 and somone in clan came up with a good suggestion of the rapid fire guns of batchat 155 and rocket arty to be alternate tier 10 arty

Seriously need to fire the person who does most of the English voiceovers, he's just absolutely terrible. He's on par with a TTS program.

The voices are good, the scripts they read aren't.  They need someone with english as a first language to go over it and clean up all the extra 'the' words in it.  "the main reason for the development of the trees..."

Would sound so much better as "Our main reason for further developing these trees..."

"The training battles might be the only exception."

Would be better as:

"Our only exception might be the training battles mode."

To be honest, i'd volunteer my time to look over those scripts and iron out some of the problems i have with them, but i don't know how much free time i'd be able to devote to it.  That and i don't trust myself to do it and get them all.

Passing the buck on red screen bug

The red-screen bug really isn't THEIR fault.  It's the player's fault, more than anything.  That RED screen is telling you something, it's telling you you are out of RAM and are on your pagefile now, or very close to it.

The new MM being introduced with 7.5 would make Tier 7 HT/MT/TDs only see tier 9 max...

[SunFlash]

I'm not quite sure why everyone is being such a dumbass for tier 10 arty.  ITS THE SAME AS THE TIER 8'S.  Why is that so hard to understand?  And I'm not sure how this would increase artillery drivers.  Very few people actually get all the way up to a tier 8 arty in the first place.

lol...English sub Titles are way off and funny what its translated to.

first off, when the iS-4 was moved to tier 10 you did not automatically get the two tanks below it. same thing for the T-30, nothing below it was unlocked. also, WG said that they will rebalance damage so that tier 10 arty will not be more then the current tier 8, but details are vague as to what SPG is being moved where or created where.

unlikely, tanks and arty are matched up separately now, i expect they will still be matched up separately

[DBrimstone]

arty's minimum MM values make it so they're almost always mid to lower tier starting at tier 6 and up. Tier 6 arty's HAVE to be in battles with tier 8's, etc, etc. That doesn't bother me at all, especially if they're gonna make tier 7's only see tier 9's from now on. They just aren't competitive against tier 10's... I am of the opinion that the higher tiered arty's are what will directly cause high tier light tanks
