transfero: Dear Players,
To make sure you will always receive our e-mails when we send them, you can add us to an e-mail "whitelist". Choose the e-mail provider below, that you have your WoT account registered to. You may also need to follow steps for additional providers, if you contact us from something other than your registered e-mail address.
MSN/Hotmail
The steps below will help guide you through the process of adding @worldoftanks.com or @worldoftanks.eu to the MSN/Hotmail Safe List. This will help ensure that all e-mails sent by WoT can be received.
- Log in to your Hotmail account.
- Click on the Options link in the top right.
- Click on the link for Safe and Blocked Senders (second link under Junk e-mail).
- Click on the Safe Senders link (the top link).
- Here you can add an address or domain to the Safe List.
- Type worldoftanks.com or worldoftanks.eu in the available field and click the Add to List button.
- You will now see @worldoftanks.com or @worldoftanks.eu listed in the Safe List section.
Gmail
Gmail does not use an "active" spam filter, but instead filters e-mails dependent on your actions. It will only filter e-mails as spam if you choose to mark them as spam. The best course of action would be first to use the search feature and look for e-mails from WoT. If all of the e-mails are safely put into your inbox then you should not need to make any changes. However if you find some have been moved to your spam box follow the few steps below on how to make sure it isn't marked as spam in the future.
- Open the e-mail from WoT that has been sent to your Spam box.
- Scroll to the bottom of the e-mail and click on the "Not Spam" button.
Yahoo
The steps below will help guide you through the process of adding @worldoftanks.com or @worldoftanks.eu to a Yahoo mail filter. This will help ensure that all e-mails sent by WoT can be received.
- Log in to your Yahoo e-mail account.
- Click on the Options link in the upper right.
- Click on the Filters link under Management.
- Click the Add button.
- Select the drop down to the right of the From header label.
- Choose "ends with".
- In the blank field to the right enter @worldoftanks.com or @worldoftanks.eu
- Select the drop down in the Move the message to: section near the bottom.
- Choose Inbox.
- Click on the Add Filter button in the lower left.
AOL
There are no available instructions on how to properly configure the AOL spam filter to allow e-mails from WoT.
Internet Service Provider
If you use your Internet Service Provider (the company that provides you your Internet access) for e-mail, you will need to visit their website and possibly contact them about how to add an e-mail address to a "whitelist" or "safelist". The address you should be trying to add is @worldoftanks.com or @worldoftanks.eu.
Forward Thinking
Many customers run in to e-mail related difficulties, because they forget to think ahead, when changing e-mail addresses or moving and acquiring a new ISP. It is important, that the e-mail address on your account information is current and is configured to properly allow e-mails from WoT.

typhaon, on 23 April 2011 - 02:00 PM, said: Does the matchmaking system consider only the tank tier or the
tiers of the equiped modules as well... so does a stock tank get
balanced lower than a fully upgraded one?
Some tanks start as a waste of space but get really good once they have the right modules.
Zoijar, on 23 April 2011 - 09:16 PM, said: Will you ever fix this "we hit them hard!" but 0% damage thing?
What's the ETA on that? 0% damage critical hits are also really
silly. It's the only game I know where it's actually a bad thing to
score a critical hit.
han_solo_79, on 23 April 2011 - 01:09 PM, said: I put this questions aside guessing that you are tired with that
type of questions (or in no mood to answer that) and I take another
question:
- is there a possibility to add in ingame stats such a value as spoted vehicles? This statistic exist only in website and is restricted to global value connected with ranking. I know that my scout performance in A32 is better than in Hetzer but it would be really nice to know exact values in ingame statistics.
Thanks.
Zoijar, on 23 April 2011 - 10:38 PM, said: Yes, 'mostly', so I'm talking about those other cases 
I read: "we hit them hard!" --> armor_pierced_by_player
Not: armor_pierced_crit_by_player
So why do these shots, where the crew says "we hit them hard" do 0% damage? It really happens quite often. Another case is those ghost shells, where you're at close range, reticle completely on the tank, you fire and nothing happens. No "that one didn't go through", no "richochet!", nothing. Just a miss probably. This has been around for a long time now. Are you still aware of these bugs and working on them? It seems to have been forgotten.
And please consider changing those 0% dmg critical hits. Make criticals absorb some of the damage, like half, but not everything. It's so silly when a tank is at 2% and you shoot it with a 390 dmg 122mm shell and it happily lives to shoot back.

Raketensegler, on 24 April 2011 - 03:17 PM, said: 1. What will the latest buff to IS4 change?
2. Why does VK4502P have a lower RoF than IS4 for a lower DPM with a weaker gun (penetration is better than 0.02 accuracy?
3. Will Ausführung B receive something to compensate for IS4's buff? The mantlet fix does not change anything since IS4 can still penetrate the turret front.
4. Regarding penetration: SerB said on advantages/disadvantages concernig caliber for penetration: "Taken into account indirectly - in a larger caliber projectiles less chance of ricochet and greater angle reduction"
So larger projectiles are less prone to ricochet, what does angle reduction mean in this context? Is the armour slope drecreased or normalisation?
Summarized: are larger calibres always better at penetrating or not?

Overlord: The only problem is user notifications on a client. You can
hit/crit tracks, gun, observing device, inside component or tankman
and you'll get a notification about crit. You can crit tracks, gun
or observing device without damaging vehicle and you'll get the
same notification. We will definitely fix this problem (not in a
6.4).
Hetman2, on 24 April 2011 - 02:41 PM, said: 1. Euro tree - what tanks and when?Overlord: It will comprise tanks of different European nations (Swedish,
Czech, Polish, etc).
After French, British, and Japanese tanks are added.

Overlord: 1. - 3. Wait for the finalized patch notes of v.0.6.4. It's
pointless to discuss interim buffs and nerfs.
4. It means normalization in this case. It's a bit larger for big calibers, ~2% more.

Falen, on 22 April 2011 - 06:48 PM, said: Overlord, how to fight T-34 armed with 105mm gun T5E1 320 damage,
with other heavy tanks Tier 9? Mission impossible :-(
VeRDAMMT, on 22 April 2011 - 04:25 PM, said: 1. Any news about the German KwK 12,88 rate of fire? Will be
changed or not? If yes, how (if you already know)?
2. How do magnet works?
willTell, on 22 April 2011 - 10:15 PM, said: One Questions to game mechanics.
If I use a gun with e.g. acc 0.4, and a crew of 100%, what is the acc value if I shoot without aiming while driving?
Is there a difference for auto and sniper mode?
Zinn, on 23 April 2011 - 01:44 AM, said: Overlord, is there a possibility of adding some needed info to the
tech trees? I believe it would be rather important to know the
angle any given arty-gun can shoot before moving the artilery
sideways, for instance. Likewise, it would also be incredibly
useful to have a shooting-distance stat on the various arty guns,
since you sometimes go from arties with lots of range to arties
with practically no range. That way, no one will get any nasty
surprises. Oh, and an ammo limit would be nice as well, since some
guns have very low shell counts
Xivilai, on 23 April 2011 - 07:38 AM, said: I have a question about speed of German E series of tanks, if is
possible to tell what would be speed limits of every individual
tank starting from E-50.
I ask this because in the info that I have found are some interesting numbers, and I fear that E series will end up like Tiger and KonigsTiger...
1. E-50 kmh ?
2. E-75 kmh ?
3. E-100 kmh ?
Thanks in front.
CerVus, on 23 April 2011 - 11:38 AM, said: Hi Overlord,
there is another tournament ahead of us, so i guess it's only because of another delay of next patch. Am i right?
_Saki_, on 23 April 2011 - 12:58 PM, said: Hi ppl.
I have two questions, but second is somewhat a suggestion as well.
Is there any possibility to allow non-prem users to create a platoon in the future? As your CEO mentioned in interview in Finland, platoons are not the most important thing in premium.
If this answer is negative, here's a suggestion. Is there any possibility to have different platoons for prem and non-prem users? For example if platoon is created by free user he can invite 1 or 2 ppl, and if it's created by prem user he can invite 3 or 4 ppl.

Overlord: April 26 looks over-optimistic, mid May is more credible.
There should be at least 1 month gap between the release date and CW launch.

heavies, KT is supposed to benefit from new mantlet mechanics.

Overlord: 1. Won't be changed for VK, and is likely to be slightly reduced
for Maus. Damage is to be increased.
2. Depends on the sort of magnet, I guess.

Is there a difference for auto and sniper mode?
Overlord: 1. Our game designers decided not to disclosure such information.
All I can say is: accuracy is multiplied by some factor which
depends on vehicle, turret, vehicle speed, vehicle rotation speed
and gunner skill.
2. There is no difference.

overload the existing UI with additional figures.
As for SPGs range of fire, it depends on relief and consequently can differ substantially even for one and the same map.

Here go the rules in block
How to seize fortune by the forelock.
If you are smart and sly like a fox,
Your prize awaits you
Somewhere close…
All good things come in threes,
Some good things hide in trees
Lucky ones, they will see
Easter eggs unexpectedly.
Find them, if you can,
Hound them, happy men!
Show us all if in the fight
Easter egg escaped or died…
Second thing that’s also good
Try to find among the floods,
Trolls and millions of thoughts
That belong to all in WOT.
When you happen to espy,
Hold it tight, not losing time
Capture it and forward right.
Last and foremost is the field
Where nothing but good will
Leads a sage to share his lore
With the ones who trust him a lot.
Be attentive! Try to spot
Something that is way-out and odd.
Having noticed wiseman’s play
Shoot it fast and fast e-mail!
Your Easter present will contain
2500 gold for your game.
Be fast, creative, a little mad
To hunt the eggs that we have spread…
Whenever find the precious bag
E-mail it to Wargaming.net!

Maksājums caur PayPal.
Es maksājumiem izmantoju tikai PAYPAL, citus maksājumus neesmu mēģinājis, ir pievienoti ekrānšāviņi kā to darīt EU un RU serverī, tātad :
1. Vajag piesaistīt savu maksājuma karti PAYPAL kontam. Ir jāpiereģistrējas PayPal https://www.paypal.com/lv , pamācība kā to darīt ŠEIT un ŠEIT. Ir jāņem vērā, ka der maksājuma karte, kas ir izmantojama starptautiskajiem maksājumiem, pretējā gadījumā PayPal nepieņems jūsu karti. (Swedbankā tā maksā Ls 10 gadā. Vietējā maksājuma karte (standarta - Latvijas teritorijā) Ls 5 gadā -> neder).
Kad esam piesaistījuši savu krēdītkarti PayPal, varam pirkt visādas fīčas – zeltu , premium kontu, u.t.t.
2. Ielogojamies savā WorlofTanks kontā, izvēlamies valūtu kādā maksājam un cik daudz zelta mēs gribam nopirkt. (dotajā paraugā 2500) un turpinām. (Valūtu banka pati pārkonvertēs jūsu izvēlētajā, pēc dotās dienas valūtas kursa.)
3. Tālāk izvēlamies kādu maksājuma veidu mēs izmatosim. (PayPal)
4. Pieslēdzamies savam PayPal kontam.
5. Ievadam savus Paypal datus. (e-pasts, parole)
6. Tālāk, kad apstiprināsiet, jūsu klienta kontam tiks pieskaitīts zelts, kuru nopirkāt.
Maksājums krievu klientā notiek tieši tā pat, izmainās tikai valoda, un maksājuma interfeis.
Veiksmi.
Paldies Eproram par darbu!

News from the Front\Developers Blog\Firstborn of American Light TanksLink on message: #494980
admin: 
In the end of the 1920-s the American Army strictly following the method of using combat vehicles conventional for those times assigned a technical task to develop a light tank of infantry support. This new vehicle was meant to replace out-of-date 6-tonn vehicles and 3-tonn “fords” which were no longer satisfactory on the point of speed and armor. The Cunningham Company was the one who showed great interest in that. They were well-known for their chain-track tractors. Having studied the experience of their foreign colleagues (first of all British) the American engineers came to a conclusion that the classical arrangement of a tank is far from ideal. A light tank Cunningham T1 appeared after they have combined their ideas with the ideas of their foreign colleagues.
*
The light tank T1 development started in 1926 and its prototype was sent to being tested in the beginning of the next year. “The tractor past” left its traces. The tank got the chassis which had been poorly adapted to overcoming the obstacles appearing on battlefields wounded by mines and shells (for example a 2-metre ditch was an unsurpassable barrier). However in production it was highly technological. The chassis consisted of 16 road wheels of small diameter (8 for each board) with coil springs amortization. There were 6 carrier rollers, guiding front wheels and leading back wheels. Namely owing to innovations in running gear this armed “tractor” could speed up to 30 km/h.
*
The vehicle weight gained 7198kg. It was protected by welded and riveted construction of mill-rolled armor plate 10-15 mm wide. It provided protection from rifle bullets (without a steel pit) from 100 meters distance.
*
In the front part of the body there was an engine-transmission section where a gasoline engine Cunningham with 8 cylinders of 132 hp in 2600 was placed. The gas tank was for 221, 5 liters and mechanic transmission with a 4-gear gearbox. The manufacturer engine starting was held with the help of an electric starter. 190 liters of gasoline was enough to move 120 on a road.
*
Combined with the combat section, the section of operation was close to the after part of the tank. The Т1 crew consisted of 2 persons: a driver and a commanding officer (who was also a shooter). Because of the lack of room the commanding officer was forced to basically stand on their colleague’s shoulders.
*
The armament was mounted in the cylindrical turret of the tank and consisted of a 37-mm gun M5 L/50 (ammunition: 104 shells or 80 shells according to other reports) and coaxial 7.62-mm Browning M1919A4 (3000 rounds) machine gun. Despite the small caliber the initial velocity of the firing shell gained 777 m/s and that allowed to penetrate any enemy armored vehicle at range up to 1000 meters.
*
This tank is also known as the armored vehicle that stayed in service less than any other engineering technique: from January 4, 1928 – March 30, 1928. That is a little less than three months. Therefore, in short terms it was returned for the improvement. The following prototype Т1Е1 had improved hull design and in 1928 the Army accepted it into service under the designation M1. T1E2 modification was equipped with more powerful engine, modified turret (without inclined armor plating) and up-armored frontal armor plating. Later this tank was re-equipped with 37-mm long-barrel gun. In fact, the era of American light tanks began.
In the end of the 1920-s the American Army strictly following the method of using combat vehicles conventional for those times assigned a technical task to develop a light tank of infantry support. This new vehicle was meant to replace out-of-date 6-tonn vehicles and 3-tonn “fords” which were no longer satisfactory on the point of speed and armor. The Cunningham Company was the one who showed great interest in that. They were well-known for their chain-track tractors. Having studied the experience of their foreign colleagues (first of all British) the American engineers came to a conclusion that the classical arrangement of a tank is far from ideal. A light tank Cunningham T1 appeared after they have combined their ideas with the ideas of their foreign colleagues.
*
The light tank T1 development started in 1926 and its prototype was sent to being tested in the beginning of the next year. “The tractor past” left its traces. The tank got the chassis which had been poorly adapted to overcoming the obstacles appearing on battlefields wounded by mines and shells (for example a 2-metre ditch was an unsurpassable barrier). However in production it was highly technological. The chassis consisted of 16 road wheels of small diameter (8 for each board) with coil springs amortization. There were 6 carrier rollers, guiding front wheels and leading back wheels. Namely owing to innovations in running gear this armed “tractor” could speed up to 30 km/h.

Buflak_bacsi, on 19 April 2011 - 10:33 PM, said: 1. Are you planning to increase the peretration(and accuarcy) of
the T5E1 gun after the damage decrease? Because both BL-9 and the
105mm L/68 have better penetration and accuarcy than the T5E1, plus
the BL-9 will have much more damage/shell.
2. How are you planning to make the T34 competitive, while it is using the T5E1 gun, compared to the other T9 heavies?

1 - I know that a crew which hadn't been retrained and put on a new tank will get a malus and wont gain XP, but it seems that the secondary skills still evolve, is that right ?
2 - Someone told me that on the russian forum it was said that a crew member won't get maluses if put in a premium tank, even without retrainning. Is that right too ? It seems weird to me...

Another one, will the US get M103 it was developed in 1957 ?
Is there any consideration to implement armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) ?
Something like Bergetiger - PzKpfw VI Tiger I chassis or BTS-2 or even M32B2...
That would be useful to lets say repair damaged or destroyed modules in vehicle.
Just a suggestion you can use in further development of game.

when the caliber of the gun in this case 155mm is 3 times as much as the armor 25mm then it will penetrate anyway
what i am missing is are we talking about effective armor or armor????
25mm armor on 70° should excede 50mm
Kazomir, on 21 April 2011 - 05:08 PM, said: I ask once again, Will you buff JgPz IV's last gun's

Its obvius why...(132mm penetration for a tier VI TD , compared to SU-100's 175...)

Overlord: Wait for finalized patch notes of v.0.6.4 please. It's rather
time-consuming to discuss each balance adjustment separately.

Overlord: 1. Crew that is trained for other vehicle gets less XP and is less
efficient.
2. Crew that is trained for other vehicle but of the same class (LT, MT, HT, SPG, AT-SPG) gets normal XP on a premium tank.
Example:
Crew trained for Sherman gets maluses if put in a T20.
Crew trained for Sherman gets bigger maluses if put in a T29.
Crew trained for Sherman doesn't get maluses if put in a Ram-II.

Overlord: 1. E-50 is likely to get 900 h.p. engine which will be produce up
to 1200 h.p. with supercharging.
2. Can't comment on this one so as not to float a rumour.
3. There was some back in the days. We highly doubt these vehicles would be fun to play if implemented.

Vallter: I can't agree with you. Though the current level of Tier 1-4
players is lower than on the Beta (due to a big amount of new
players), they play better than their colleagues from the Russian
server.
