    Yay, maximum dakka confirmed for the Shilka! :dwi:

    It will be interesting to see how they dicide to balance it for tier 4. Are they going to go with higher burst damage (15-20 damage per shot) and give the clip a longer reload, or are they just going to give it less burst damage (~10 damage per shot) with a shorter reload on the clip?

    I'm leaning towards wanting the high clip damage with longer reload for the instant death memes.

    Gatling mechanics with overheat mostly.

    Also PELE :)

    Just a note on "this is already modeled" things like Object 195 and the other old vehicle models that got leaked ages ago (there was Object 172M-2 IIRC, XM723 etc.)

    These vehicles have generally bad models and have to be overhauled from scratch, which is pretty much like making a new model from scratch. Their chance of appearance is therefore the same as for any other vehicle. Sometimes actually lower, because they already got leaked and the surprise was therefore kinda spoiled (we have like 10 such models that we are certain will not appear in 2020/2021 for example, IIRC all 2021 vehicles will be new). In some cases, using older models as a basis does represent some savings but more often it does not.

    So if I understand your feedback correctly: under the current circumstances, the event made no sense because of long waiting times. Got it.

    But imagine if the waiting times were instant.

    1) Would something like that be fun, such playthroughs?

    2) Or would it be something you'd do just for the rewards?

    3) If the rewards were the same, would you rather play (current) standard PvE or (current) Spec Ops?

    Is it possible that there can be a 2nd set of testers for this?  Afaik there are only Russian super testers, which sure we can join, but have to speak Russian to do so.  Might be a good idea to have some more players testing this out across the board?

    Honestly? I don't think so. Russian is pretty much mandatory. We tried this actually, for the K2 Black Panther patch, with Flavio and a few other guys. They wrote extensive reports, which in turn got either partially ignored or the stuff/bugs in them didn't get fixed, everyone got pissed... fun stuff. That really, REALLY didn't help.

    I suspect that this BP will be around 10% more grind than last time.  My worry is, Devs will see how much money they make and make it that much harder to complete than last time.  Plus with all the BP boosters you get, it means doing them more means you have more ability to grind so can 'afford' to grind more.  The one thing they don't take into account is time...While They keep increasing the levels it'll require, they keep the length around the same until 1 day you need be Eskobar on a top 100 event - play 18 hours a day, every day for the duration to get the top rewards

    The requirements/mechanics should be identical to EL with one exception - the boxes are going away, there will be a normal BC shop instead

    so the firepower of a T-15 using a lightly armored chassis, does its get infantry deployment like the T-15? its gonna be a interesting hybrid, its firepower may attract too much attention if you play it wrong.  

    Yes

    And sorry for the offtopic Haswell. I hate it myself, it's not nice of me to derail existing threads.

    Nice quality model for russian tanks, Shitty model for american tanks. 

    We will introduce some fixes to them, thanks for pointing them out. Otherwise their quality is good.

    But for god's sake, we heard you the first million times. Do you think posting such stuff will make us take you more seriously or just ignore you?

    So from the look of it - baby T-15 with different weapons?  As some others have said, like the QN tonk maybe?

    Not a bad comparison actually.

    i just hope it wont be another bp shit or crates related. i can understand if its going to be a contract tank, but since they are adding more premium than progression tanks, a lot of people would get upset even more. and i dont think they can afford to lose more players after 0.33 shitfest. they even closed russian forum to maximize budget. it really looks like they are running out of budget and players thanks to their latest fuckups, but we all knew that. 

    Damn, you sure have amazing insight into our operations. Oh wait, RU forum was closed a long time ago, like June? Had nothing to do with budget, or 0.33, this was discussed as early as January. And My.Games isn't really operating AW either, it's a publishing platform. The game doesn't even belong to My.com. And we didn't lose players (in actual numbers, counting in new players, just to avoid "muh friend stopped playing becoz 0.33!!!1111").

    I am not saying we never fucked up anything but come on, how can you be a part of a core community forum and understand this little?

    Yea...but it would be nice if there were more staff sin general o the game could be developed more and in interesting ways...like more PvE content..and new tank lines more frequently that aren't premiums :)

    If you expect radical changes, I am afraid you'll be disappointed.

    This makes me think of something...

    Why not release the lootboxes for sale from the start and offer the players the missions as currently implemented to get those crates and tell them that you're extra generous with the amount of boxes you can get for free because anniversary etc. Let the "normal" anniversary event have the BVP as main reward with some prem time and insignias or whatever (I mean that's a generous award for doing barely anything at all even I managed to fetch those ).

    I think that would have pissed off less players while making them look better in the end. Quite sure loads of players would have still done all the missions to get the crates and maybe be less salty bec there's no need for an empty promise.

    Simple. This was the original intention but it slipped through the cracks when the plans were drafted. Happens when a few people deal with a lot of things. Ironically, you should be happy - most funding goes to the actual development of the game, not a massively bloated operator infrastructure some other companies have, or lavish corporate parties.

    Probably Sudden Strike is not best example, but it was done there 20 years ago on 2D map. I think AW is mostly 2D game too, so i put the thesis is that if a developer reduces the problem from 3D path finding (which is not needed) to 2D pathfinding problem, infantry movement is actually trivial. I assume a developer should have good understanding of CE engine, its topology and collision models, so do they have ?

    Honestly, this is way beyond my paygrade, I am not a programmer. So when a developer tells me it's a massive pain in the ass in CryEngine, I have no choice but to believe this to be true. On the other hand, I know for a fact that CryEngine is really hard to work with, I've seen some snippets of codes with examples that made me facepalm. So who knows.

    While skins seem goofy as fuck (nothing wrong with that), I just wonder will the raid grind be the same soul-numbing idiotic RNGfest like old one was or did they improve the missions somewhat? Doubt it tho.

    - OMG this feature is SHIT the game is DED we HAET u U retrdz Y U SO FAIL REEEEEEEEE
    - Feature is actually really successful and significantly improves player engagement

    It's pretty clean - they despawn after awhile, and it's all very sanitary.  These bodies look like they've been sitting around for awhile getting spicy.

    Maybe this is the dev team's way to work out suicidal tendencies after the 0.33-deadline squeeze?  If you read the Kraken description and add "at my.com" to each sentence, it's a good chuckle.

    The plan is to make them move actually :) BRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIINSSSSSSSS

    I like em.  They are fun and different.  

     

    Do they fit the game, not really.  Are they realistic, not really.  Are they fun, for me yes

    Thank you. That's what we were going for.

    Oh that sucks & is worrying.  I thought this was just a streamer list that was given out and was old.  A quick questions related to Alienware stuff, there used to be a Fox skin for them (or Razer) that I had, but one update it disappeared.  Does that ring any bells with anyone?  It was bright green

    You mean this one? This was not really a skin, rather a separate Sabre vehicle made for an intended cooperation with Razer back in 2016 or so. Since the cooperation never happened, the vehicle was scrapped and removed (we aren't authorized to use Razer's logos ofc)
