client yet. Sael_: It's on CT! First we test, then we introduce!

For 99,99% of playerbase it's rather useless - I mean the point of
nickname (or in game name) is to anonymize player's real identity.
What's the point of anonymizing already anonymous nickname?Sael_: Comments like these show pretty well why that is not the
case:

will vanish and we'll be able to play without arty targeting you
everywhere you go, even in a light tank on the other side of the
map, just because you are blue-/unicum. I already notice that on my
recruit-accounts with worse stats (as I only play derp and
odd/troll tanks on those) I hardly ever get focussed while on my
mains, it's blatantly obvious. Now let's hope that this
thing will make usernames not easily picked out, as the example is
clearly a bot name. Also also, turn this anonymizer on by default,
not off. This all being said, it would have been easier and
convenient to blatantly disable XVM related information within
matches for everyone. That mod truly is a blight on this game,
within matches, it's fine in the garage. Cobra 6Sael_: Although anonymizer should be and stay an opt-in option. It's
an added feature for those who feel the need for it, it was not
intended as the standard experience. 
Wot_in_2k19, on 21 November 2019 - 02:05 PM, said: When will be available?Sael_: After it's properly tested. It could be after the CT
iterations, with the next live server patch, if we are satisfied
with it, and if not it might be delayed. So no date to share yet.

continue to think they are being arty focussed. 
Sael_: It is very likely, paranoia is often part of the battlefield
experience.

people look for.Sael_: Unless you play in a dynamic platoon you should encounter no
troubles with that if your anonymizer is on.

1000 damage 2. stun for more than 10 seconds 3. 2-3 dead crew
members I see many games in open maps simply ruined from the
start when in mm are 2 or 3 arties and heavies refuse to play
normal positions And all this for the merit to travel 50 m/
game and to play with 1 hand because "hard work" deserve to be
rewarded.Sael_: I appreciate the feedback and the suggestions and I will make
sure to pass them on - however please remember that this thread is
about the anonymizer, if you wish to talk about arty and arty
gameplay, I suggest continuing the discussion in the dedicated thread.

.....Sael_: I placed an internal bet with my colleagues that somebody
would have said this. No, it's not what this is. But I
won the bet, thanks.
