10.04.2015 Q&A


Here it is:



A developer (only introduced as "Nikita" in an official stream), a programmer responsible for the matchmaker, explained the issues with XP bonus for tanking and why it was delayed as such in an official stream:



有个开发者（官方直播中称作‘nikita’（嗨Nikita我是Alex）），分房系统的程序猿，在官方直播中解释了为何扛线的经验奖励一拖再拖：

In fact, the bonus XP for tanking depended on the normalized thickness of armor at the point of impact. The game designers decided that this was a good idea despite the fact that under some circumstances, the effective thickness of armor could be extremely high due to the angle of shell impact. There was a divisiom by the angle (cos) (effective armor calculation) - the problem is that this value is not limited in any way so extreme impact angles (ricochets) gave extreme results (in one case, a ricochet caused 5000-6000 XP bonus). This mechanism was not fixed on time and required a complete overhaul, hence the delay.

The moderator of the stream was shocked, why armor thickness should be actually taken into account and not just the shell damage. The answer to that was that there is another solution already and it will be released at some point.



实际上，扛线经验奖励取决于击中点的装甲真实厚度。开发者们采用这种方式是因为在某些情况下由于角度问题，等效装甲值会很高；开发者们也曾想过用等效装甲来计算额外经验，但问题是在有些极端条件下一发炮弹的**就可以获得5000-6000的额外经验。这机制并未修复，需要整个重制，因此导致了一拖再拖。直播的主播震惊了，为啥不用抵消伤害值来算而非要考虑装甲厚度捏？回答仅仅是程序猿们已经有了个解决方案，时机成熟就会放出来。

- Batchat in HD will not come in 9.8;


查狄伦高清不在9.8

- It's possible that 9.7 test 4 will come this week still;


（此句话已失去时效性，9.7四测已经开始了）

- IS-3 in HD will not come in 9.7 despite the delays;

尽管9.7推迟了，高清的IS-3也不会在9.7到来


- HD KV-2 will have the same guns it has right now;


KV-2的高清体的主炮会和现在一样

- Average duration of battles on mid tiers? "No comment";


中级车的平均战斗时间？“无可奉告”

- No plans to add crew-member visual models to vehicles (RG: Games like WoT and AW don't like very much the idea of having real crew shown due to the age rating of the game, its understandable);


不打算做车组的视觉模型（要不可就成了限制级游戏了）

- Light tank hit-points will not be increased across the board;


所有轻坦的血量不会提高了

- long testing of 9.7 does delay 9.8, but not by much;

9.7测了这么久确实推延了9.8，但没推多久

- Storm states that the information that vehicles present in Kubinka will be allowed by the museum to be photoscanned the same way the IS-3 was is false;

Storm说库宾卡的战车被允许用跟测量IS-3一样的摄影扫描的方式测量的说法是错误的（就是其他车不用摄影扫描）

- Type 59 in HD is being worked on, including possible collision model (armor) overhaul, no decision was taken yet though.

59式的高清模型已经在做了，也包括碰撞模型（装甲）的重制，不过现在尚无定论
