Developer Q&A

From watching a recent live stream, I got the impression that Italian tanks would not be coming this year and worse yet they're not even planned for World of Tanks: Mercenaries because their unique mechanics require a server version which Wargaming are uncertain they'll get. Will you let us know if or when you receive that server update?

Don’t worry. We will be doing the work for the Italian tanks after the first of the year.

Does the game have a 'saving throw' mechanic? For example, can a damaging hit or ram, no matter how much damage it would deal, have the chance of leaving an enemy tank on 1 HP as long as they are already above it?

No, the game doesn’t have that feature. We’ve discussed it in the past but decided not to implement it as it effectively steals the kill from the player.

Will the Edelweiss or The Nameless ever make an appearance again?

The original license expired but I’m told the Business Development group is looking into renewing it.

Can you tell us the average win rate of all tank classes?

Based on the last 90 days of data:

Light Tanks: 50.43%

Medium Tanks: 50.49%

Heavy Tanks: 50.88%

Tank Destroyers: 50.34%

Artillery: 49.91%

Valkyria Chronicles 4 just came out a couple months ago. Any plans on getting the license from Sega to bring in the Hafen and maybe the Vulcan since we have the Edelweiss and The Nameless in the game already?

I actually don’t know as licensing deals are brought to us by the Business Development group. I can always ask though.

When will the contract for The Machine be released?

No set date yet as we’re taking a look at the requirements that we originally generated. It was almost a year-long grind which seems too long.

The stats of the Object 268 Version 4 were pretty controversial, how has it been performing?
