LiannaSilverwind: There is also an option to play your elite tanks longer gaining free experience with every battle while training your crew. Then you use free experience gained for free to upgrade your stock tank.

LiannaSilverwind: Similar hull problem with missing BT-5 tank as well.

LiannaSilverwind: I apologize, I played games that required months and years of mind-numbing grind to get your character somewhere. Starting with text MUDs. Therefore my expectations of what is grind is somewhat outdated.

LiannaSilverwind: Getting best character (Heavy Tank Tier 10) with best equipment (3 modules) in 6 days from release day is grind-heavy? *shiver*

Discussion thread.

Overlord: Any changes to Jagdpanzer are unlikely to come prior to 7.0 update.

Overlord: 1. Actually was answered a couple of pages back.
2. IS-4 would become a sort of Soviet Maus. 2nd tier 10 heavy is not planned for the US tree.
3. No, currently 2nd heavies are confirmed for Germany and USSR only.

Overlord: Will see, can't say for sure currently.

Overlord: Yes, this is on the task list.

Overlord: 1) They are not planned either.
2) Tier 9 meds and tier 7-8 SPGs are being used as well.

Overlord: 1. What's unlocked will remain unlocked after the revision.
2. ~60k.

Overlord: M10 and M36 already have turret upgrades.

Overlord: No, the exact gun selection is still to be determined AFTER 6.5 update.

Overlord: Hull - 180/100/60 to be more precise.

Overlord: It's incorrect.
Players who have a T30 in their garage at the time of the revision will have it replaced with a T110 with a 100% crew, plus they will also get T30 in its new status with the top module setup, old crew, and an extra garage slot.
No additional refunds are planned.

OldFox: Maksasanai uz RU serveri var izmantot WebMoney. Ir laba firma - wmz.lv.

OldFox: Man skiet otradi: tiesi WoWP bus lielaka auditorija, neka WoT. Jo spelu pasaule "lidotajus" daudz vairak par "tankistiem". Visi gribetaji vares tikt Closed Beta, jo, es domaju, man bus tada iespeja.

OldFox: Ta, marsruts bus sekojoss: Riga - Jelgava - Dobele - Saldus - Zante. Bet pirms si pasakuma mums, laikam (nekad neko varis neteiksu konkreti, jo viss var gadities), bus vel viens pasakums Riga. Vismazs planojam.

OldFox: Liels paldies! Zeltu jau esi nopenijis. Ja turpinasi meklet, zelta bus vairak.

OldFox: Protams, labak 30. datumu.

Cheeka: Matryoshka Got Defeated
Dear Players,
Thanks a lot for your participation. We appreciate your interest in the events we hold and we tend to improve them taking into consideration issues appearing during the event or contest is being carried out.
Although it occurred that Matryoshka hadn’t considered all the possible ways of being tricked and even cheated by the players and in some cases she actually was cheated. Nevertheless, rule-breakers could be figured out easily. Their answers were not taken into consideration.
We will take into account all the problematic issues that have merged during the latest Matryoshka Assault Shipping and will maintain the conduct of the quiz the next time.

If one asks you about “Leopard” tank what association will you have? Certainly, almost everyone will recall the main tank of the Bundeswehr. For over 50 years the tanks with this name are in service with Germany. But it turns out that during the WWII German armored forces had a Leopard, but this tank was less known than its modern descendant.
The development of the new reconnaissance tank on the basis of Panzer II Ausf J (VK1601) was included in the plans since 1941. In March 1942 the company MIAG and Daimler-Benz got the order to development of high-speed (medium/heavy) reconnaissance tank capable of operating in difficult combat conditions – Gefechtsaufklarung. MIAG engaged in the development of chassis and Daimler-Benz of the turret of the new tank. Both elements were to be developed and ready for production by October 1942. This tank was supposed to enter the service in special platoons of armored divisions. Two versions of the tank were developed: lightly armored and high-speed (18 tons) and more heavily armored (26 tons). Soon, Summer 1942, work on the light version were discontinued, and all forces were focused on debugging of more heavily armored version.
Design of the VK1602, named Leopard, was based on earlier Panzer II Ausf J (VK1601) and Panzer II Ausf M (VK1301) development works. The hull of Leopard had much in common with Panzer II Aufs J (VK1601), but the influence of Panzer V Panther was also noticeable (Panther was still in development at that time). The suspension had overlapping wheels of |”checkerboard” type and was similar to the one on Panzer II Ausf L – Luchs. It was planned that Leopard will replace a light (leichter) PanzerSpahwagen II Ausf L Luchs - Sd.Kfz.123 (VK 1303). Mock-up model was completed in May-June 1942, and the first prototype completed by September 1, 1942. Full-scale production was to begin in April 1943. The armament of the Leopard tank consisted of 50mm KwK 39 / 1 L/60 cannon and 7.92 mm MG34/42 machine gun, mounted in the new turret. VK 1602 had fairly heavy armor plating and had sloping angle armor (inspired by the Panther tank). Leopard had Maybach HL 157P engine with 550 h.p., it allowed the tank to attain a top speed of 50-60 km/h. To improve passability characteristics, track width of 350 mm was implemented. The crew of the tank consisted of 4 members.
The program Panzerprogramm 41 was provided for production of 339 Leopards (105 were to be produced by December 1943, and 150 tanks by mid-1944). Start of production had been planned for April 1943, but it was cancelled even before the first prototype was completed (January 1943). The reasons for the cancelling of the project were the big weight of VK1601 and the absence of powerful gun which made Leopard vulnerable to enemy tanks. Besides that, Leopard was very close to Panther in design, and development of scouting equipment was cheaper for Panthers than for the brand-new scouting tank. The concept of Leopard was continued in the draft of modernized VK2801 by Daimler-Benz, unluckily the project was never completed either, and the whole program was stopped in May 1944. And finally, scouting in combats was performed by Panzer V Panther and Panzer IV. Further, Leopard's turret was mounted on armored vehicle Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma. Besides that, Rheinmetall Company planned to use Leopard's suspension as the basis for the 105-mm self-propelled howitzer leFH, named Waffentrager Leopard. Unfortunately, only a wooden pattern of it was made.

Baghatur

Overlord: 6.5 update is still on schedule. Check In development section of the web site.

OldFox: Nu bet no ka WG pelnis visu so laiku? Protams, no WoT. Tas nozime, ka sis projekts vel kadu gadu-pusotru bus primarais.

OldFox: Ja neviens vel nezin, WG pazinoja par jauno MMO projektu - World of Warplanes, kurs ir veltits 30-50 gg. karu lidmasinam. Driz saksies alfa-testesana, bet testetajus WG izvelas no krievu WoT alfa-testetajiem
http://game.worldoft...et_conquers_sky

OldFox: Par tusina datumiem skaidriba bus saja nedela, obligati.
UPD. Tiksanas notiks 30/31 julija. Atkartoju: 30 vai 31.07. (julija).

OldFox: Un tomer KV-3 ir labakais 6 lvl tanks. Iznemot vienu - VK 3601 ar "konik" lielgabalu un premiuma ladiniem. Vot tas ir istais "čits"

OldFox: Atgadinu, ka aktivakiem kludu mekletajiem tiks pieskirtas balvas!

OldFox: WG vairs nepublice konkretos datumus, jo krievu CBT un OBT bija nepatiksanas, kad vini apsolija un nepaspeja. Ludzu rekinaties ar so faktu un NEKAD negaidit konkretos datumus no WG

Hope it helps.

Overlord: There is some uncertainty here. Can't give any date currently.

Overlord: Then we will have to introduce this option for male crews as well. A doubtful pleasure.

Overlord: New mini icons will appear together with new tanks and tech tree revsions (e.g. division of KV into KV-1 and KV-2).

Overlord: This is correct.

Overlord: The gun itself is ok, no doubt about that. Regarding the issue in general, we have performed lots of tests and haven't encountered it so far.

Overlord: Upon the launch of 6.5 public testing.

Overlord: Definitely in June. Public test server for EU / US to be confirmed.

Overlord: We are planning to add map scaling as an option.

Overlord: Tier 10 TDs are unlikely to be added, Object 704 and JT got a significant boost to their performance in 6.4 update.

LiannaSilverwind: What will be the difference between
1) Pownarz1, Pownarz2, Pownarz3 (same clan Pownarz with 3 divisions)
and
2) Pownarz, Roxxorz, Haxxorz (same clan under different names with the same organization and cooperation level)?
