Good morning Question: Will WOT ever consider making mousepads, there are some companies that make pads for other gaming companies and was curious if there be any plans from WOT on having some made for sale?

Will there be any night maps in coming updates?  As in dark to require searchlights and arty illumination rounds to engage in combat?  There are a few tanks that have searchlights already on them such at the T110E5, and some of the British tanks.  I know also that The M48, T-62A, T-54, and M103 also equiped searchlights.  I think I asked this question before, but my sometimers kicked in and I can't remember if I did or not

Does anyone know when they're gonna fix the radio problem where you can see tanks on the minimap but can't actually see them in the 3D HUD???

That's not a problem. Check out game mechanics on the WoT wiki.    It's a 3d draw distance of some sort

I think something like this would be interesting, possibly create a "headlights" button to toggle headlights, and have to only use that light to move around, that and maybe illuminating arty shells....  The only thing is they would have to completely rework and revamp the spotting mechanics to make it somewhat realistic.... Idk how it could be done

With all due respect :
The attempted opening of North America revealed a priviledged relationship exists between WarGame and select clans. Would you expand on those relationships and how WG persuits / maintains a " fair game" atmosphere in leiu of such  for " clan events ".

Thank you.

You may need to use google chrome to translate the page, unless you know Russian of course :)
-------------------------

Also to the developers are there plans in the near future to add some more premium tanks to the roster, either new or old (ones that are pulled out of the store, or that have never been implemented on the NA server)? (also any idea what they would be?)

Are there any plans to have a map maker or perhaps map design contest available to the community?

Thank you for reading this, and perhaps answering.

I haven't been able to view the website or my profile for a few days now. It says the website is down for maintenance. Is it down or do I have a problem? It usually comes back up a lot sooner than this.

Hello, recently our clan had the honor of one of the developers coming to our team speak and chatting with us. And it was an honor for our clan for the guy was very friendly and informative and we all felt like he really cared about what we had to say.

One of the topics we talked about is how to get more people interested and playing World of Tanks. One suggestion I would like to make to the developers is that they might want to think about match maker for the lower tiers. I been running a tier III most of the week skilling up my crew for the coming clan wars. One thing very noticable is I get put in many many tier V battles where my Pz S35 and Vickers Medium III are useless. They are medium tanks and not really scouts yet I cant tell you how many times I would shoot a tier V in its sides in critical area's with gold rounds and nothing. No penetrations, no damage, yet they can one shot me every time from %100 health. This takes every bit of fun from the game and I can see people who are trying out the game say screw this and go play something else.  

A couple times today I came upon a KV-1 in matches. I shot one of them 5 times with gold rounds in the side in critical areas while he was sitting on cap. Nothing, nodda, no damage at all even with me hitting him in critical areas. He finally found where I was at in the bushes and shot me once and killed me. Just think your a new guy player and that happens. Would you consider the game to be fun when you keep getting put against tanks you cant hurt at all? Especially when match after match has you as a tier III fighting tier V?

Was running into the same issue today - even got down to a one on one between me in a PZS35 (tier 3) and a KV-1 (tier 5).  I literally hit him 39 times in the side and rear and never penned him.  Tracked him twice for no damage.  

The only tier 3 tanks than can pen a tier 5 are TDs and arty - and they should be the only ones in a tier 5 match.  I can understand the challenge in playing against higher tier tanks - but when you have no chance - its not a challenge - its something else.

I noticed last night that after several good rounds in my Type 59 that my XP wasn't going up.  Anybody else experiencing this with a premium?  All my other non-prem tanks are building XP just fine.

This thread as been created on Dec 21 2012 - 20:59, more than 1 month ago, the thread have now 12 pages, over 200 posts and none was made by the devs.

Is it supposed to be the place where the devs answer the question the players? I've see a lot of person getting a RO for pointing the fact we lack of communication between the devs and the players, but it doesn't look like you are trying to improve the situation.

Hope you will see this message and don't ignore it.
