Questions for RibbleStripe
Vehicle Changes
Will the Foch 155 receive some form of an autoloader?
Do YOU think the Foch 155 needs and/or will receive an autolader?
Foch is unlikely to get and autoloader. Personally i don't think he needs it.
Will we see any return of the awesome missile style tanks (cough sneeze wheeze M60A2 sniffle achoo)?
I remember you asking this a bit earlier. And me answering )))
After the Chinese tech tree is complete, who's coming next? Czechoslovakia? Sweden? Hybrid nation?
None of the above. We plan to fill current tech trees so far.
On the topic of hybrid nation (and I am fully aware I am going to get flak for this), will there be any additions to it?
Will there be any new additions to current tech trees?
Yes.
Game Changes
I saw an option for HD Textures in a video detailing Update 4.9. Will this technology be implemented for all devices or just Android?
Just for Android. Those HD textures will be optional for download and equal to other platforms textures.
Will the reticle be updated?
There are some ideas to improve it.
Will there be a new ammunition type addition? Could we see a diversification between, lets say, AP shells and AP-Tracer shells?
No.
Will sounds be updated? 12cm+ guns sound like farts, 15cm+ guns sound like throwing a rubber ball off the sides of the Grand Canyon, and heavy tank engines sound like failing treadmills.
Not in near future.
For the Future
Will there be a point when you can't update the game anymore?
Sure. Every game has its end.
Are you guys sick and tired of being flamed for things like spare parts, crates, matchmaker, tank balance, etc., even though you are trying your best to make the players happy?
Definitely not. It's part of the job to deal with. Once i get sick and tired of players' reactions i'll change my job.
Do you guys reminisce on old-school World of Tanks Blitz?
Yep. You can't stand it i guess. We have a very popular proverb - grass used to be greener and skies bluer. People use it when they witness changes in something that last long enough and reminisce ). Games, sports, movies etc.
Is Wargaming still/currently worried about the game dying out in the near future?
No. There is plenty of room for updates, upgrades and improvements.
I know this is a lot, but I'm sure myself and others would like to know some of your opinions and Zloydd's opinions too. I want to know what you think of this game that too many people debate about.
Sincerely,
