Actually, people do ask questions of the devs all the time and occasionally they deem to answer a few, thatās what that post is about. And I remember them saying theyād be answering questions but since they never did I assume they decided not to but eh, better late than never, so no they arenāt asking questions to themselves then answering them like you think they are!
Where ? On Discord ?
Discord, Reddit, and the forum mods do occasionally pass on questions from the forum and sometimes in the in-game polls they allow you to type stuff
They Have Discord Channel ? 
This is something thatās been asked here repeatedlyā¦ This is only part of their answer.
āWhat role do clan battles and their statistics play in the balance of parts?ā
When balancing weapons, we take into account both clan battles and random battles, because not all types of weapons are played in clan battles.
Thereās actually good info there.
They post on Facebook, discord, reddit, twitter, Instagram, and have their own websites. Heaven knows where they farmed these questions.
No, Maybe, Maybe, No, 100% Never 
āDonāt you think that the energy consumption of āVarunā is too high? Especially after its nerf. Maybe itās time to give it 6 energy?ā
Letās not talk specifically about āVarunā, but more about our approach to balance.
We check the analytics, statistics, how often a certain part is used, what percentage of the winrate the part has, at what power score levels, etc. If we find a mismatch ā either the winrate is too high or too low weāre implementing changes. In some cases we can raise the amount of power score, somewhere ā increase the durability, reduce the rate of fire, etc.
There are cases when a certain weapon performs poorly at 8300 PS, but it plays well at 9600 PS. Or some people say: āI donāt play well with special weapons at 9000 PS.ā Special guns shouldnāt be there. Sometimes you can put simpler wheels, some cabin, or replace some modules, and you will already find yourself with a special cannon with 6000-7000 PS, and it will be comfortable to play.
We check statistics and look for deviations ā we fix them, release balance changes, but there can be no perfect balance in a PvP game.
āDo you think Varuns are too high in energy?ā
Devs: āYou should not play specials at 9000ā
āOk but what about the Varu-ā
Devs: āNext!ā
So yeah either seal club with them at lower ps to some success because youāre not allowed to make a high ps Varun build because no that is not balance.
That is all I am reading between the lines here
The discord is awful, worse than here
Joining a crossout discord is the last thing I will do when it comes to this game. I have seen enough discord s***shows, Iād rather join a full on angry little kids Clan than join the discord, at least then I am only struggling to tolerate 19 mentally struggling individuals in need of attention (I canāt remember if 20 people was the max for a clan or what I havenāt clan) rather than something like 650 of them all echo chambering the smell of their own farts
They all seemed like coomer degenerates, I had to join for a contest so I read the chat some nightā¦ it was prretty sad
That was the same with me with discord. I see Discord and Reddit being about the same. Too many people talking all at once and very few people actually reading anything. That is also what I like about this forum. Aside from the bickering that pops up from time to time, at least you can have a conversation here.
They also collect questions from Russian sources like VK and the Russian forum
I can tolerate the Reddit even it means I have to self censor sometimesā¦ I once got a perma can for the C wordā¦ which I got revoked of course, because a perma ban for 1 word that isnāt racism is dumb.
The mods on there can definitely be power abusive a bit too easily
The issue with Reddit is that itās just rolling-mediaā¦ in 2 days everything is gone and there isnāt a real chance for a true discussion, which is what I liked about the old forums here; they really butchered this place from what it once was, I wish I knew Russian better so I could participate in the real forums.
Iād be willing to bet they only care for the Russian forums with a sprinkle of VK, mainly due to FR
Your probably right
Itās not hard to communicate on the Russian forum with google chrome on your phone.
It auto-translates the posts and your replyās.
I have been posting there for years.
āthe team that deals with the in-game balanceā
Itās a whole ass team!? What are they doing for 8 months between balance patches? 
In the modern age a whole team could be one dude working from home in his underwear.
Yeah but Iād rather learn Russian a bit moreā¦ I spent a few months on and off learning and the alphabet is actually really easy and words are pronounced as theyāre written unlike a lot of English.
So whenever I see cyrillic I like to sound it out and such as practice so auto-translating would feel like Iām skipping the opportunity to learn, I should get back into learning it. Š ŃŃŃŠŗŠøŠ¹ Ń Š¾ŃŠ¾ŃŠ¾. I didnāt get cyrillic keycaps for nothing.
