First details of Update 7.2

HatchPlug's Photo HatchPlug Jan 23 2012

Can't wait to see what the extra crew skills are going to be.  This in my opinion is greater then the addition of the US line because it can add a whole new dimension to all of the tanks.  Like more specialization, an Eve Online depth of character development will go a long way to making WOT even greater!  :Smile_great: :Smile_great: :Smile_great:

Is there a link to the new crew skills, or have the details not been given out yet?

T34 is a Tier 9 tank .. so wouldn't it be, in essence, the first Tier 9 premium tank?  

Notice that T34 is missing completely from the months-ago preview (below), so how do we know it is going to be a Tier 8 premium, and if it is going to be Tier 8, how is it going to be balanced/downgraded to Tier 8?



They only list Premium tanks you can buy, T34 premium will not be available for purchase, just like the Beta Sherman is not purchasable and several other specialty tanks.  That is why it is on not that graphic you posted

Yes, more about the crew skills please.  It isn't fair to say that there will be 20 new skills and not tell us what they are.  What about those of us who have 2 or even all of the current skills for some of our crews?  Will we be able to reallocate all our training to the new skills or are we pretty much stuck with what we have?  I hope you don't intend on charging gold to reallocate.  That would be a low blow.

Any thoughts on rethinking the way that camo is purchased?  There was a lot of talk on the forums about paying to unlock a camo scheme for a country, not paint a single tank.  I think the current price is way too high and I have not spent a single credit or gold piece on it, nor do I intend to until it becomes more reasonable.

Any chance we'll be able to hop on a test server?

So.. I wonder if we'll be able to go straight from the Wolverine to the Hellcat if we saved up the exp on it.. or if we'd have to start all the way back in the early tiers. D:
I hope so cause that what I've been doing, grinding EXp on the M10.

The devs had mentioned several times that when the new skills are introduced, they will reset all the current crew skills you have for free. In the future when you are going to do another respec for your crew skills however, they are planning to charge gold for that.

I also wouldn't expect the crew skill details to be mentioned until the patch arrived in public test server btw. There was a leak of the new crew skills from Supertest a while back, but was immediately taken down due to Supertest leak contract breach.

alright, finally the m18 hellcat.  i rushed to the T34 thinking it was in the last patch, good to see that the replacement/swap is going to happen.  no physics is a bummer but im sure this will be in the next few months. besides new vehicles is always good.

The only way you'll see a ton of T-34s is if the M103 is a failure. After the T34 gets nerfed to tier VIII i think the Lowe and KV5 will be the better premium tanks. I'm looking forward to new crew skills how about a more detailed info on them.  :Smile_honoring:

Now announcing 15xT34 vs 15xT34 matches, coming to a February near you.

Yeah but... Unlike the type 59 the hull of the T34 is very penatrable.  ie, no lowe will ever bounce a shot off the hull of a T-34.

this has probably been answered (although I can't find it).  Do you have to have the T30 and T34 in your garage or can they just be researched?

Buy it if you want it.  You don't have a T34 in your garage pre-patch...  Well sorry.

I wonder how the new crew skills are going to work... I hope they make some that are easier to get, because grinding out 20 skills on a crewmember will take a LONG time.  Or, provide a way to buy a higher crew skill level in secondary skills, like you can with primary skills.

OK, thanks mizaralcor.  I have many highly trained crews so I was a bit worried.

So many secrets...lol.  Like knowing what the planned specs are for a soon-to-be-released tank (or crew skills) would have any impact whatsoever on anything.  Seems to me like some people keep secrets just for the sake of keeping secrets.

Plus the KV3 change to the T-150 with full crew spot in garage stock of course! So, when oh when is this going to happen your only a few months from it becoming a year?

If you took the time to read (Hard I know, words hurt my brain too.) you would know that you will still have your T30, it will just be a tier 9 TD (Meaning it will likely lose a little HP, but get a stealth buff at the same time.). So you'll still have your high damage tank, you'll just be harder to spot.

It was never promised in April, all that news was just announced changes in the future with no time frame.
