lord_farquad: Due to my traveling schedule I am postponing Skirmish XVII until
the following week.
In other news I will soon be introducing a new member of the Wargaming America eSports team who will be helping me handle the scheduling and announcement of tournaments. I look forward to providing more details after Ural Steel!

Thanks for your suggestion. I hear that you and others would like to see some in game benefit associated with achievements other than collecting the medals. I will pass that upwards.

Different types of Scouting

Subject: Different types of Scouting
Link on message: #2632218
Link on message: #2632218
dance210: Suiscouting is taking your T-50 into enemy territory and dying
quickly. Living and actively lighting up tanks as long as possible
is active scouting.
The best tanks depend on what you want to do. I love my T-50 and T-50-2: they are speedy, little active scouters that can zip betwee the enemies, lighting them up for the bigger tanks to take out. The guns work well enough to damage/annoy the enemies. Others are better played as passive or late game scouts - may have a really good gun, but not as quick or manueverable.
There are some guides that explain scouting pretty well. I used this one when I was trying to figure out what to do, and found it helpful. Good luck!

Tournies are win/win for WG. They increase revenue, don't cost anything to run besides manhours, and gives players more competitive gaming experiences while stimulating gold sales.

to track performance of all of your teammates. Thus if somebody

You have a fair point, and it's something I've actually thought about quite a bit over the last 24 hours. I decided to go back through August and came to the conclusion that RU was slightly better than NA, with EU pulling in third, SEA fourth. For October, I'm going to use the method I did today to look back on August. We're going to make sure that overall the specials are as close to similar as possible while taking into account nation-specific holidays and celebrations. We'll do that for every month from now on.

you will not be blue anymore. If you continue to damage/kill
friendlies, eventually it will result in a ban, iirc.
