Tanitha: still works for me
Thanks for the feedback, I'll update some links and clean out this section a bit.
New post containing key information is here.
http://forum.worldof...available-here/

Tanitha:

Tanitha: YAY there's nothing better than a poll with lots of options that allows multi options.
Interesting poll thanks, And yes I like stats.

Tanitha: The official source of keys is the wot website.
http://game.worldoft...gistration/cbt/
Just the gaming websites who had limited piles of promotional keys to give away, were instant, so they were used until they ran out.

Tanitha: WOT themselves give out keys.
http://game.worldoft...gistration/cbt/
Just until recently the gaming websites had piles to give away instantly. They recently ran out, but the original way of obtaining keys remains.

Tanitha: Spend some time making sure you post into the right sections please. I wouldn't conciser this a bug or a translation to English problem.
As for the chat. There is channels apart from general, You are welcome to make one for your friends or for your clan.
Since this is in the wrong section. Closed and moved to junkyard.

LiannaSilverwind: That's why Russian forum has hundreds of tank skins for everyone to download/use for free? Russian forum is being used by people who play Russian WoT release.

Tanitha: HI there is a lot of threads on this already open for discussion.
These are the main ones.

http://forum.worldof...__1#entry142325
Please ask any further questions/discussion into one of the existing threads, there's no need to let another run.
/closed.

Tanitha: I'm not sure what you mean sorry, but I'll try to answer your question which might keep you going until someone else replies to you.
There is a invite code, which is also called a beta key etc...
When you register to anything they often send you a email out saying please verify this is really your email, click this link which contains a validation code or verification code in it, to verify this is your email account.
And I got my key in about 5 days i think, the last time I heard someone say "they got their key in..." it was 4-5 days too.

Tanitha: Yeah they probably haven't made a icon for the promo Stuart tank. So it doesn't have a icon any more and was probably deleted.
Missing graphic/skin files show up red.

Tanitha: Everything is safely stored on the server, So no, you can reinstall np's.
You might wasn't to upgrade your graphics card drivers, and direct X as well.

Tanitha: I fixed the link above. Its the same link with a extra / on the end, its obviously fussy.. sorry.

Tanitha: Hi. Your name is on this post.
http://forum.worldof...t-users-part-4/
Ive checked with admins, and I'll pm you the info rather than post it publicly.
And yes, discussing admin/mod decisions on the forums is against the rules.
I'll close and move this thread.

Tanitha: The correct way of getting a beta key is by simply putting your email address in here (the link below), and then waiting for a key to be emailed to you, depending on the amount of requests they are getting it can take a varied amount of time, maybe 4 days, maybe a week or longer.
http://game.worldoft...gistration/cbt/
But because there was a lot of gaming websites out there with keys they were giving away, that was a much quicker and easier way of getting a key in the past.. If all the game websites are now running out, then its back to the original slower way. Sorry.
The promotion keys that were given to the gaming websites were a promotion and limited in numbers, It looks like most of these websites ran out of these promotional keys a couple of days ago.
Tan.

Tanitha: There was a thread in the # Developer's Corner # > Questions asking devs to read this post.
Instead ive most this post to there. /Tanitha

LiannaSilverwind: Не бойтесь глобальных кланваров, пока не началась даже их региональная Бета.
При нынешней констеллации звезд...
1) Кланвары для кластеров - 15. 6. 2011
2) Общиe Кланвары - 28. 09. 2013

Tanitha: I don't play with the graphics much. So others will know more.
But I think if you delete graphics, like the tanks skin, then it will show as red.
You have changed the tank icons. Id guess one is not done right, and its displaying as a red bar.
And I assume you are referring to the red bar, in the middle..

Tanitha: Enhancing and changing the turret, increases the tanks HP's.

Tanitha: Hello's.
I've driven T44, Tiger II and Vk4502 regularly after the soft-wipe ie with the current rules. And I've never lost on them, long term.
The two tanks I mainly play now are the t44 and vk4502, both make a steady profit, sure they lose a bit some times, and some times they break even, and some times they earn decent amounts like 20-25k profit. I'd guess a average earnings of these two tanks to be 10k profit a game.(after repairs, ammo, and replacing repair kits etc)
Before the tanks and crew were maxed, instead of the 10k profit, it was probably closer to breaking even.
A important think with big tanks, is when they die, hop out of the game and play a quick scouting game on something like a leopard for a quick credits top up.

Tanitha: Yep, you have converted me, I agree with you.

Tanitha: Sure. But I don't agree with some things that you wrote : ) . I think one of the main things I disagree with, is that in the current 15v15 "random" battles. You really have 15 individuals playing by themselves and for themselves. Teamwork is nice but with 15 individual's you aren't going to get very much of it at all. And especially you have no say or control over what other people do.
Comments you made like
4) Strongest vehicle in wolfpack has right to point which tank goes first.
There is no rights of 1 individual to tell the other 14 individuals what to do. Just because you think you know what they shuold be doing better than them, that doesn't matter, people just need to play their own tank.
And again here.
purpose of this guide was how to break stalemate, especially at the beginning when scouts died and everybody waiting to attack but no one is willing to sacrifice and go as spearhead.
When "noone is willing to sacrifice and go as a spearhead". Then you only have two options, scout yourself, or join the other's not willing to "sacrifice and go as a spearhead"
The tactics that you wrote, IMO would be better when clan war's comes out, And you are playing with 15 clan mates. Clan's can have tactics planed, and can tell their members what to do and how to play (to some extent) but in random 15v15 games, you really have 0 control over what the other 14 do.
And another point.
Tier 8+ heavies SHOULD.NOT.SCOUT.
Why? Tanks like IS7's have a speed of up to 50, and can bounce most hits. What can one shot your mediums often just bounces off the IS7's, So every shot the IS7 bounces is a hit your team mates aren't taking. To be honest when I'm in my vk4502 id prefer the team's medium tanks behind me firing over my shoulder, than being in front of my taking the hits that barely hurt me. But as i said above, its a bit situational, if there is a few 152's unaccounted for, then spearheading is a bit too dangerous in case you run into them.

Tanitha: I think its pretty situational. IE it depends on the situation.
If I'm in my vk4502 and its fairly healthy and i have backup, I have no problems going first and smashing up any ambush I come across. But if Ive got module damage, or I'm on 1/2 HP's then I wont, because chances are I'll be dead before the ambush is smashed up. Similarly if there is a few 152's or IS7's unaccounted for then id be less likely to spearhead into unknown land, knowing that if i find them they can do too much damage too quickly.
Similarly if I'm on a T44. Which can die in a couple of hits to T8+ heavies. I'll use its speed to do some scouting, if its not got module damage, and if its on 75% or above HP's. if its too damaged, then I'll stay back and snipe instead. Similarly when I'm down below 10% and anything can one shot me. I quite often go, oh well, I'll try to go scout/kill their arty on my way out.
So to me, it depends mostly on the HP's and status of the tank I'm driving, more so than its tier or class "medium/heavy"

Tanitha: Please keep skins in the skins section of the forums. /Moved

Tanitha: Please keep all skin posts in the skin section itself. /Moved

Tanitha: Trojan/keylogers/virus Etc links deleted from the OP.
If you clicked to download any of these links I suggest you email WoT (support@worldoftanks.com) to change your password (In game) and change your forum password yourself, and run a decent trojan/virus scanner (or both) over your computer.
Thread locked, and leaving in the skins section for a while, will dump it to junkyard later after everyone's read the warnings..

Tanitha: No. : )

Tanitha: Thanks, And no problems, Have fun playing.

Tanitha: Its a status thing based on how many posts you have made, Like a rank, more you post more it goes up.
Man is the lowest one..
Its been reported recently that its sexist, and a admin said they would look into it, I believe it is a problem with the language conversion and would be better as civilian or something.
I don't know what PIP is in this context.

Tanitha: There often is a control panel for your graphics card too, which has a setting, use AA settings from the game, or use these settings.
So check that too.

Tanitha: Ive not noticed any difference, or had any problems. I don't drive a IS7 though, usually a T44 or VK4502.

Tanitha: I can only suggest that you double check the shortcut, to make sure you are running the Wot.exe like you said you were in chat, and not the launcher/updater.

Tanitha: I don't know, but i use http://game.worldoftanks.com/update
And patch manually.

Tanitha: Once you get up to about tier 5, its usually worth not spending your gold for 17 days and saving it, to buy a months worth of premium.

Tanitha: The manual fire extinguisher is really automatic, if you catch fire it will be used whether you use it or not.
When equipping it you can notice it doesn't even have a number above it in game to activate it, because it cant be manually activated.
It probably could do with a name change.

Tanitha: Hello Moroz.
Its nps mate if you are having problems and cant play, it needs to be fixed doesn't it : ) Posting is nps, you posted into the right section.
I cant really help you though. Maybe someone else can..
A couple of notes, You run vista, it was always renown for being a bad version of windows. I used to run it before windows 7 too, and it was a bit of a dog.
You have 2 gig of ram, its a little light now days.
Looking at the stuff you copy pasted..
Fault Module Name: d3dx9_31.dll
So does that mean the fault was in your direct X 9?
So maybe you just need to update your graphics card drivers, and then update your direct X. I would not look for direct x 11, and only go up to 10.

Tanitha: I misread it too, so thanks.

Tanitha: I know what you mean, but with positive rep its still pretty easy (but not as easy) to "identify trolls and non-constructive posters" Because someone with 100 posts and 0 thanks is pretty non-constructive. someone with 5 posts and 100 thanks is very constructive. Etc..

Tanitha: Wiki covers it pretty well.
http://en.wikipedia...._%28Internet%29

Tanitha: Questions answered, and covered in other posts.
Locked, and moved.

Tanitha: Thread locked and dumped due to language / trolling etc.

Tanitha: There is a view finder in game, and as you can see from this photo, where the player is, where the enemy is, and how far that distance is.
It will give you a better understanding of the distances.

IE that tank is less than 500m away.
