Vallter: Not to mention 'Kill the Mod' events

LiannaSilverwind: I'm afraid WG does not plan to do so, hence their teaser: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=D4Kuumslq4M

OldFox: Ja, protams,vajag pievienoties EU serverim.

LiannaSilverwind: We should also remember how did some Czechoslovac communists called Soviet Union for military help against "imperialist contrarevolution": http://cs.wikipedia....vac%C3%AD_dopis
There were some demonstrations in Soviet Union against invasion of Czechoslovakia, all demonstrants were arrested and persecuted. Mass media spoke about how Warsaw Pact saved poor Czechoslovakia before damn capitalist yoke. People in Soviet Union knew nothing about what really happened.

LiannaSilverwind: Let's compare situation of Germany in, let's say, spring 1942.
Germany, Austria (part of Germany), conquered Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, France (+ Vichy), Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Greece, great part of European Soviet Union
Allies: Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland
Count population, amount of resources needed for fueling the war machine
Now compare to:
Great Britain (isolated on British Isles, fighting in Pacific, South-East Asia, North Africa)
USA (awaking and fighting in Pacific, no real danger to Germany for now)
Soviet Union (reeling after horrible losses of population, soldiers, tanks, aircraft, lost great amount of resources needed for fueling the war machine)
Count population and amount of resources.
Now let's ask the question: how is it possible that Allies had won?
German tanks were superior, amount of working population was strongly in favour of the Axis, most resources - in favour of the Axis. What has happened?

LiannaSilverwind: Yes, I understood VGA poster wrong. Shame to me, especially when I teach maths.
Considering WG plans: I have read on RU forum that there are plans to change Company battles into better tiered mods, but that it's not their main priority. Sadly.

LiannaSilverwind: И на этом песня не кончается
Мы построим новый полигон!

LiannaSilverwind: I absolutely agree with you.

Overlord: Follow the news on the official website and you won't miss anything important.

Overlord: 1) Some of them will definitely be competitive and usable.
2) Current Churchill and Matilda (Soviet premiums) are somewhat semi-stock or semi-maximized in terms of performance.

Overlord: 1) No sure yet when it is going to be done.
2) Its performance is similar to the performance of T34 and Pz III/IV. Not bad overall.

Overlord: It is getting faster.

Overlord: 1) You will have to unlock E-75 separately.
2) E-75 will be locked/unresearched on default.
3) VK4502 will remain unlocked.

LiannaSilverwind: I definitely do not claim you did not do your best. I just tried to give an example of "certainly lost" battle due to team composition, but still we tried... and won.

LiannaSilverwind:

LiannaSilverwind: Current WG plans are to make quitters' tank remain in battle for 2 more minutes, therefore allowing it to be farmed like it deserves.

Vallter: Do you remember the famous WWll propaganda posters? “Motherland is calling you!”, “I want you for US army” with Uncle Sam and “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima”. Everyone of them was designed to arise patriotic feelings in nations, to help the existing forces, or simply to make someone join the army. We do not have military forces as such, but we have clans!

OldFox: Lito, gribu uzdavinat tev avataru:

OldFox: WG balstas tikai un vienigi uz starptautiskiem juridiskiem dokumentiem. Ja tu zini kadas starptautiskas tiesas spriedumu, kur ir teikts, ka NKVD un Smers ir noziedzigas "organizacijas", ludzu, atsuti man linku.
"...90% pārējās Eiropas starp NKVD un SS liktu vienādības zīmi" - tas ta ir tikai politiska un ideologiska joma, nevis jurisprudence. Bet WG ar politiku un ideologiju nenodarbojas - viniem nav tiesibu to darit. JA butu juridiskais pamats likt so vienādības zīmi, tad butu cita lieta.
Ludzu nejaukt kompaniju Wargaming.net un tas darbiniekus.

OldFox: Par avataru: es tevi maigi pabridinaju, tu esi izlasijis bridinajumu un Foruma noteikumus. Talak viss ir tavas rokas. Gaidu lidz piektdienai.
Par visu citu:
1. "Vai mans avatars tevī rada nacionālu/etnisku/reliģisku naidu, ja jā tad jau tā būtībā nav mana problēma..." Mana galvena problema ir labi pildit savus dienesta pienakumus, un nenobanojot tevi uzreiz, es tos parkapu. Bet tu vel man seit provoce. Nu, paldies tev, dargais Bet es esmu pateicis vardu - "piektdiena", un no sava varda neatteiksos, kaut gan loti gribas.
2. KĀPĒC WG ir šāda nostāja?! - kurs tev ir teicis, ka WG vispar ir kaut kada "nostaja"? WG ir liela kompanija, tur strada vairak par 200 cilveku. Ja tu gribi zinat kompanijas viedokli, es tev auksa visu paskaidroju. Bet ja tu gribi zinat, kapec tam cilvekam, kurs ir rakstijis so atbildi (es varu tikai minet, ka tas bija SerB), nu tad prasi, ludzu, vinam.
Bet man ir tada "priekssajuta", ka es varu aptuveni zinat atbildi: tapec, ka Baltkrievuja no vaciesiem kara laika gajusi boja atuveni 2 400 000 cilvekus, kas ir ap 25% no pirmskara iedzivotaja skaita. Tas ir katrais ceturtais. Atgadinu, ka sodien Latvijas iedzivotaju skaits pec oficialiem datiem ir aptuveni 2 200 000, bet pirms kara bija ap 1 900 000.

LiannaSilverwind: Current company system counts IS-4 as 9 points, while T1 Hvy is 5 points and Lee is 4 points. Or did I understand something wrong?

LiannaSilverwind: Please check the official Hall of Fame:
http://uc.worldoftan...avg_performance
Are these people really that lucky?

LiannaSilverwind: EU server population is higher than 500.000, therefore if the poll gets 5.000 votes (does it?), it will represent 1% of the EU server populatin. Can you provide better arguments than "large percentage of the rest of the playerbase" as well, please?
I work with statistics daily, therefore I understand why developers ignore misinterpreted statistical data.

Vallter: They organized it by their own. One of their captains had married just before the tournament.
And we were working: making gold lists for teams, reimbursing the players, putting to order the departure information, etc.

OldFox: Ar sadiem jautajumiem labak versties uzreiz uz support@wargaming.eu, nevis uz forumu.

OldFox: Atbilde bus sekojosa:
Metiet nost emocijas. Jusu nostajai, tapat ka manai vai pat WG generaldirektora nostajai saja lieta nav NEKADAS nozimes.
Forums pieder WG un skaitas par WG komercdarbibas instrumentu. Kompanija Wargaming.net LLC ir registreta Londona, tapec sava komercdarbiba ir SPIESTA vadities tikai un vienigi ar Lielbritanijas likumdosanu. Savukart Lielbritanijas likumdosana atieciba uz II Pasaules karas rezultatiem, tapat ka visa Eiropa (Vacija, Francija, Italija, Holande utt.), balstas uz starptaustikajiem juridiskiem aktiem.
Konkreti saja lieta visa Eiropa pieturas pie Nirnbergas procesa spriedumiem. Bet Nirnbergas procesa spriedumi ir sekojosi (rakstu tikai to, kas ir visiem zinams, jo nevaru citet tiesas protokolus burtiski): fasiskais rezims bija atzists par noziedzigu, visi III Reiha lideri bija atzisti par nozedzniekiem, SS, NASDAP un citas fasiskas organizacijas, ka ari tas dalibnieki ari bija atzisti par noziedzniekiem. Par NKVD, Stalina rezimu utt. Nirnberga procesa doumentos nav ne varda.
Es saprotu, ka kads var saskaitit Nirnberga procesa spriedumos netaisnigumu pret fasistiem. Neviens nevar apsudzet so cilveku. Bet tas ir tiri cilveciska nostaja, ar kuru WG nevar vadities tik nopetnaja lieta, ka WoT izplatisana un apkalposana Eiropa.
Ja, teiksim, WG nenobanos klanu ar nosaukumu NSDAP vai SS, kas var notikt? Kads gudrs cilveks, ieraugot to, var versties tiesa un uzbudinat tiesas lietu pret WG ar vienu vienigu merki - nopelnit. Domaju, man nevajag jums stastit par miljoniem, kurus sitiem "gudriniekiem" ir izdevies "izsist" no Philip Morris un citam kompanijam, un ne tikai ASV. Tiesi tapec WG Juridiskais departament noverteja visus riskus un izstradaja Speles un Foruma Noteikumus, ka ari Lietotaja Vienosanas. Mums, speletajiem, tas ir galvenie dokumenti.
Ceru, ka mana atbilde ienesis skaidribu saja lieta: tikai un vienigi juridiskiem aktiem ir speks. Ja Strasburas starptautiska tiesa kaut kad atzist NKVD par noziedzigu organizaciju, tad WG bus pamats nobanot klanu ar sadu nosaukumu. Bet ja WG izdaris to sodien, tad klana dalibnieki var mierigi verties tiesa, un vini 100% "uzvares" WG.
Un velreiz atkartosu: jums visiem ir izvele - vai tomer izlasit Speles un Foruma Noteikumus (vini ir pieejami gan krievu, gan anglu valodas) un sekot tam, vai nelasit un nesekot. Bet tad pastav risks, ka jus var nobanot. Saja sakara rakstu ar sarkaniem burtiem, kas nozime oficialo WG pozociju:
Cienijamais lietotajs Lito! Jusu avatara ir redzams fasiskais nozedznieks, Luftwaffe virspavelnieks German Gering. Tas ir Foruma noteikumu 3.4 punkta parkapums (http://forum.worldof...and-guidelines/). Ludzu Jus lidz piektdienai nomainit avataru uz neitralako. Ja Jus to neizdarisiet, es busu SPIESTS pastavigi nobloket Jusu foruma kontu.
Gribu, lai jus visi saprotat mani pareizi: es esmu loti lojals, pat parak lojals, jo sapratu, kas notiek Latvija. Bet, ludzu, nevajag to launpratigi izmantot.

Tanitha: What is your ticket numbers, and payment type?
International bank transfers can take a long time.
Regards Tan.

LiannaSilverwind: There is no instant loss. My last battle yesterday had the following team compositions:
our T34, Jagdtiger, KV-5, Lowe (0 platoons) vs. their 2x IS-4, 3x ISU-152 (2 platoons)
our Hummel + SU-26 vs. their SU-14
We've won because we tried to.

Overlord: Corrected. Thanks for the heads up.

Overlord: Timeline of IS-4 revision will be announced later. These 2 were put off so as not to cause delay of the whole update.

Overlord: Which side won?

Overlord: They might come in two different updates.

Overlord: 1. Such gun is not planned.
2. No bugs, upper front hull - 82mm (machine gun slot - 42mm), lower front hull - 62mm, observation devices - no armor.

Overlord: Preliminary patch notes of v.0.6.6 update:
- New German heavy tanks line: Pz.VI Tiger (P), VK 4502 (P) Ausf A, Е-75, Е-100.
- New tank E-50, a substitution to Panther II as tier 9 German medium tank. Changes to US medium tanks line according to the revised German tech tree.

LiannaSilverwind: IS-4 will be Soviet "Maus", ie. slower tank with better armor. IS-7 will remain as it is - medium-like tank with good enough speed but bad armor.

Overlord: There is no tank-to-tank balancing. MMS ensures equal value of the teams in general. Nothing is decided here before the start.

Overlord: 1. Will see. Either in 6.7 or later.
2. IS-4 if any.
3. It depends, each gun implies its own playstyle.
4. Most likely - 105mm.

Overlord: Yes, the same module setup, even if there are new modules (e.g. turret).

Overlord: As long as public test is on, changes to T95 are possible.
