5/18 19 Q&A - War Game

- there will be new historical battles and balance changes in HB in 9.1,
definitely at least one new historical battle

9.1 會有新的史實戰鬥舞台（至少一個），以及史實戰鬥專用的平衡參數

- current maps are made by the same people like the earlier maps, only the
map department leadership changed

現在的地圖製作團隊和之前的是同一批人，地圖部門只有換領導而已

- developers are considering nerfing FV304

開發人員正考慮砍 FV304

- Q: “Why do you always nerf the vehicle, that is the favourite one of a lot
of players?” A: “‘Favourite’ vehicle always means an imbalanced vehicle.
Proven numerous times.”

Q:「為啥你們老是砍一些廣受歡迎的車？」A:「『受歡迎』通常就代表這台車IMBA，屢試
不爽。」

- the idea to have garage battles and alternative hulls was not scrapped

未廢棄『車庫戰』和『可選車體』的構想


On the topic of historical battles:

史實戰鬥相關（以下史實戰鬥簡稱HB）

- Q: “Change historical battles not by removing hitpoints, but only stop
displaying them” A: “Why, so the player doesn’t know what’s going on?”

Q:「讓HB保留血量機制但不要顯示出來。」A:「為啥？讓玩家更搞不清楚狀況嗎？」

- apparently some historical battles will be changed, some will stay

有些HB舞台會被換掉，有些會保留

- the removed historical battles might return

被移除的HB舞台可能會回歸

- special tank stats for historical battles are supposed to solve HB balance
issues

HB專用的戰車數據應該能解決平衡問題

- Storm confirms that each tank will have two sets of stats, one for random,
one for HB

Storm 證實車輛會有兩套數據，一套是HB專用，另一套是一般用

- Storm admits that the lack of people playing HB is a real problem

Storm 承認太少人玩HB是個大問題。

- special maps for HB? Storm: “To make special maps only for several percent
of players is not very profitable”

HB 專用地圖？Storm：「為少數玩家玩的模式出專用地圖不合成本。」

- regarding the argument that only a few percent of players can play on
maximum graphics, yet these are made anyway: “Graphics sell the game”

但是，很少玩家開最高畫質在玩，你們還不是做了？「賣相很重要」

- developers scrapped the idea of having historical battles with pre-set
setups (for example 1 Tiger, 1 Ferdinand etc.) because the waiting times
would be even worse than it is now

HB固定分房組成的構想已進垃圾桶，因為這樣的等待時間會比現行的更久

- fixing historical battles by having the players choose only battle and
nation (not the tank, that would be assigned randomly) is also not an option,
players would not be happy playing the worst tank on the battlefield

將HB改成只能選舞台以及國籍（車種隨機分配組成）也不可行，被分到弱車的玩家會不
開心。（譯者：爛主意，開場小車全部跳光…）

- methods that worked during late WoT beta/early WoT release do not work now,
as the percentage of tank fans amongst the players was significantly higher
than it is now

WoT 初期的可用的方法現在不再可行了；當初玩家中的戰車愛好者比例遠高於現況。

- developers did not expect more than 3-4 percent of players to play
historical battles, Storm states that this was always a goal, making the mode
for a few percent of players

開發者預計只有 3～4% 的玩家玩HB，Storm 表示本來的目標就是做出幾趴玩家在玩的模式

- MM filling the HB teams “from bottom up” (lowtier tanks first) would not
solve balancing issues, because there are no lowtier tanks in the queue anyway

「建房時讓MM娘從低階車開始抓人」無法解決HB平衡問題：儲列裡根本沒低階車。

- developers didn’t try to crossbreed team battles and historical battles

團隊戰鬥和HB不會混在一起

- Q: “Why don’t you add special missions with a special tank reward to
historical battles?” A: “That’s an one-time incentive, you do it once and
you forget.”

Q:「為啥不出HB專用、限定車輛的獎勵活動？」A:「這種一次性獎勵玩過就忘了。」
（譯註：治標不治本）

- assault mode is played by several millions of players

突擊模式有數百萬玩家

- hardcore historical battle simulator – noone would play that

不會有人想玩全擬真HB

- Storm admits that even “real” tank characteristics in random battles
aren’t always historical

Storm 承認車輛係數，即使有實車也一樣，不一定是史實的。
（譯者：「平衡」這兩個字真好用啊……(#‵′)凸）

- Storm states that there are almost no bad maps in the game anymore, all of
them were fixed so they are playable

Storm 表示現在遊戲裡已幾乎沒有爛地圖了，都已修改到可玩的程度。

- Storm confirms the premium Valentine changes leaked earlier today – the
armor will be nerfed to 8.11 level because in 9.0 someone overbuffed it

Storm 證實 ValentineⅡ（USSR T4 LT(P)）會被砍回 8.11 版的狀態
（譯註：修改車體側面後部的傾斜裝甲厚度）

- roaming has been postponed for now

漫遊系統目前擱置中

- tank descriptions on minimap will come “it’s done when it’s done”

小地圖上顯示車名？「WIDID」

- the mod that exists and does the tank descriptions on minimap is “terrible
unoptimized – we have to start from scratch”

現有的在小地圖上顯示車名的模組「完全沒最佳化，我們得從頭重寫。」

- dynamic tank characteristics in hangar (based on what modules you have
installed) will come this year

車庫中動態車輛數據顯示（數據依你的裝備而定），會在今年實裝。

- test 9.1 will be in May (SS: possibly this week)

9.1 測試服會在五月上線（SS: 可能是本週）
