Where can we see the video of Himmelsdorf being played at night ?

about time they did something with matchmaker. we just have to wait till 7.2. who knows how long that is....

With the mention of Himmelsdorf being played at night, will this be in similar fashion of how the day to night mod that was first released on the RU server and made its way to the NA server? Meaning, should we expect having maps now start coming out with future patches to have both day and night matches?

And Thankyou for posting the Q&A and keeping us up-to-date with the most info that you can supply to the pub. Greatly appreciated.

Dynamic lighting would be a new feature for the new rendering engine. This would not only include things like street lights, but also things like your tanks lighting up when they fire at night. overall it will be really cool!

I have heard of/seen the Himmelsdorf night map that is upcoming, is there any thoughts to making night maps that require the use of Searchlights to fight or perhaps also adding parachute flare ammunition for arty?  Perhaps adding an additional module to allow the mounting of a searchlight on your turret for this?  Thanks!

Will we ever get noises for the tanks turret when it rotates? It's not much...

So would we get working head/tail/spotlights on our tanks?  That would be really cool.  Especially if we could turn them off for reduced vision/increased camo.

I don't think anything will be THAT dark, but you can add it to the suggestion forum.

Yes more sounds will be added, they are not on the top of the list of things to do, but it will happen.

Killer! Thanks for the info and update guys!!!

Why does the 105mm TE51 on the T25 costs almost twice as much to research than the 105mm L/52 on the Jagdpanther despite it being slightly worse than it?

The cost is a way of gating how long players stay in a tank, not a balance in itself.

Thanks for the update. I already like the game using this day to night mod so when maps start having this implemented, I will be a really happy coRpSE.

Can we get a sound FX revamp? Music is good but having three or four generic engine/gun/track/etc. sounds is very poor.

I'm pretty sure I get what you mean, but...

The idea that I am getting from it is that it will be like the day to night mod.

It would be more work for each model, but yes it would be possible.

but what?

I am confused, Jinxx can you clarify these parts?

I am trying to discern if this means that some MM2.0 elements will be in 7.2, but not yet a 3 tier hard limit spread, or that a 3 tier hard limit spread is simply not being considered in the first place.

Implying that you will be effectively cloning 4 crewmen on the T30 and have them trained in the exact skills to the exact same level as the previous T10 T30 crew?

Both the VK3001P and Jagdpanzer IV still are underpowered, the Tiger has a very tough grind reminiscent of the issues with the T34 Heavy Tank, the VK3002DB has performance issues since the normalization nerf, and the VK3601H may have issues when it is relegated to a Heavy tank. Since no apparent buff is coming to the 88 L/56, how are these issues intended to be solved, and are you interested in solving them?

This is false. Credit gains are not better for lower tier tanks, repairs are simply lower, and lower tier tanks receive no coefficient/bonus for fighting higher tier tanks, thus why T8 premiums are so very common, due to a greater credit coefficient and somewhat reduced repair costs, and finally they cannot be shafted as far as game balance goes within a match.

Can I ask for clarification on how you intend to address that? IMHO, simple changes in matchmaking alone will not have enough momentum to change tank population and tier distribution, and this is concerning.

I, for one, am a premium player and fully appreciate all of WG.net's work. I am looking forward to all of the enhancments. My only concern is that we are about to see a new bunch of old whines:

So we'll now see a whole new ration of old complaints that the MM is taking too long. You can't please everyone ...
