Vallter: If after restarting the game client it won't appear, please, contact our Support Center.

Vallter: Support Center receives your ticket and starts investigation of the case of Team Killing, or any other violation, using both information you provided and the game logs. After that it considers possible sanctions against the player. Normally it's a temporary or permanent game (chat) suspension.
But we cannot give publicity to the exact punishment for the specific player because of our Privacy Policy. But Support Center informs you whether this sanctions were taken or not.

Overlord: Seems that the description on wiki is not correct. It's a player driven project mostly, though we host and support it.

Overlord: 1. Nope, we haven't .
2. This is not planned.
3. Possibly during some special events.
Auctions are planned to be introduced, but they have been frozen temporarily.

Overlord: First sergeant is the highest currently. 1000 posts to reach it. Just don't spam much.

Overlord: Very likely they will be added in the patch that comes after v.0.7, the one with US TDs, not sure of the exact index. Should be v.0.7.3 or v.0.7.4.

Overlord: The amount of module damage will be decreased substantially. Apart from that it's a decent tank comparable to the other 2 tier 7 heavies (tho T29 still needs some adjustments).
Each tank has its own ones: Maus - armor, Leopard - speed, GW-Tiger - gun's power. Don't want to generalize.

Overlord: MS-1 can penetrate IS if you know where to shoot and aim accurately.
Armor is fine, once the amount of module damage is decreased Tiger's performance will see some boost.
Each tank should have its own weak and strong points that's the aim of balancing. I won't claim for the whole nation. None of the three.

Overlord: From a player's standpoint, though I don't play hevies much, Tiger should take advantage of its accuracy, low aiming time and good sight range (perhaps mount binoculars and optics). Moreover it's quite possible to deflect shots using your good side armor and timely traverse. Requires practice. I do bounce shots in T20, so should not be too difficult in Tiger.
Each nation has its own legends and heroes (M4 Sherman, T-34), moreover public belief may not always be credible.

Overlord: It's pretty well-known that Tiger could cope rather easily with a bunch of T-34s or Shermans, even 4 or 5 of them. But we are developing the game not reviving the historical truth or staging some famous battles. The game has got plenty of conditionalities and damage would be the first and most important one.
Each tank requires certain skill and practice, you can't, excuse me, "own" others just because you are driving Tiger, IS-7, T32, or whatever. Learn, adjust and get fun would be my advice.

Overlord: This is not planned currently.

Overlord: 1. Only gold as far as I remember.
2. There shouldn't be any problem I think. The details on payment methods will be published tomorrow.
3. Clans won't be wiped.
4. Depends on what you mean exactly.
5. Submit ticket to support seems to be the best option. Doubt, we will add smth else in the near future.
6. The engine will be improved. We are constantly working on it.

Overlord: This is correct.

LiannaSilverwind: May I ask which account do you use for testing, because this link http://game.worldoft...rch=WhiteHyena does not provide me with any information. Thank you!

LiannaSilverwind: Nice people and very good players! Salutations from Red Tide!

LiannaSilverwind: KIAEddz is right. On Russian server big clans have several divisions, kinda like "Clan Butterflies A", "Clan Butterflies B" etc.

LiannaSilverwind: Questions thread demands 50 posts in order to allow the player to get to know the forum, questions that were already asked (most of them were), suggestions that were etc.

LiannaSilverwind: I do not think there will be any problem with it. Everyone can download client, therefore everyone can get a client.

admin: Day 1:
Hello everybody!
Today is my first day of work in Wargaming.net! When I was sent to this company for passing my training I was freaked out. I’ve never thought that my work would be connected with computers, games (especially war strategies) and programming. I understand nothing in it. I can’t say that I’ve never played computer games before but it’s just not my cup of tea.
So, finally I’m in the office! It took me an hour to get here.  The office building looks quite attractive (appearance is the first thing I pay attention to). It is said that Wargaming.net occupies four floors. It was decided to send me to the 9th floor where a Community Department was situated. The Community Department deals with the players (as I understand they constantly receive different questions from players and have to answer them). I think I can deal with it too. Ok it’s time to get down to work! As soon as I get on the 9th floor I see a big stand with photos. Oh my God! It looks so creative!
There are some photos from the stand. It seems that they not only know how to work but also how to have fun.

***
This huge poster drew my attention at once

***
Look there is some funny stuff attached to the door of the Community Department too.

So I’m already in the room and feel a little bit awkward. There are 10 men in this room and there is only one girl among them (there are two of us starting today) and none of them paid attention to my appearance. Am I a freak or simply invisible?! What’s going on?  Oh I totally forgot that they are computer people and always merge into programs up to their ears. My badJ Finally they noticed me! Hello guys. How are you? I’m a newcomer, so called “Fresh blood”.
***

It wasn’t an easy task to find a desk for me. It took almost an hour for a system administrator to bring me a computer and install all the necessary programs. But while he was doing it my boss left for a meeting. I hate being in such an I- don’t-know-what-to-do-situation. Wait my new co-workers started to discuss some funny stuff. I’d better listen to them and try to get involved. Gosh I can’t understand a word. It freaks me out. Are they from the Moon or some other planet?! I’ve never heard such a language before. Should I take special language courses?
Oh, I need to go - my boss is back. I should ask him what to do.
They installed the game World of Tanks on my computer. Every newcomer has to learn how to play this game to be able to answer all the questions of the players. OK, it seems to be an easy task. Actually it’s the best task I’ve ever had. You can sit all day round just playing the game and even the boss won’t be angry with you.  As one beautiful song says “Life is good! Life is great! Life is unbelievable!”
It was pretty easy to register in the game (my colleague did it for me). My first challenge was to enter the game. I had no idea that there was a special tag of the game on the desktop (fortunately my kind co-worker pointed at it for me).

***
So, I’m in the game. It didn’t take me long to figure out how to play. I chose a light tank (I already had 3 tanks waiting for me in the garage) and jumped into actions (guys showed me how to conduct the tank). But in reality the tank didn’t want to follow my directions: it went the wrong way, confused left and right sides and as a result got killed.

***
In one word it behaved as if a person in it had no idea about driving. Thus I failed my first battle in this not-for-girls-game.

Though I lost this game I should admit that computer graphics, realistic maps and tanks impressed me a lot. Game developers did a great job. Keep it up!!!
***
Day 2:
Today (not to screw up) I decided to start with downloading game’s guide for  beginners. So, full of energy and enthusiasm I entered the room.
The game’s guide impressed me as soon as I started to read it. I couldn’t even imagine that it would be so easy to follow it. HOW could computer people that don’t speak any language I know create such a clear instruction?! It’s a mystery for me!
By the way, I would recommend every new player to read the instruction first and only then start to play. The game is more interesting when you know all its facilities and rules (and also you will safe my colleagues from answering stupid and banal questions).
I finally got my first task – to write an article about two big celebrations that recently took place in Wargaming.net. Recently two big celebrations took place in Wargaming.net Company. The first one was Defender of the Fatherland Day. (It’s a holiday observed in former republics of the Soviet Union and is celebrated on February 23.It’s a tradition for women to give small gifts to the men in their lives) and  International Women’s Day which is marked on March 8 (it’s somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day).
My new friends right away hooked me up with the necessary information, gave me the photos and shared their impressions. Judging by their words the female workers of Wargaming.net organized gorgeous and memorable celebration. Everything, including presents, was made in military style and even women were wearing military uniform. Two showgirls dressed as nurses were invited to become another special appeal of the celebration.

***
They were visiting every room, making injections of vodka, feeding men sweet pills and hematogen (a fudge candy bar) and handing health certificates out.

***
At the end of the day every man got a “Real Tankman” present which consisted of flask of vodka, a can of sweetened condensed milk and canned stewed meat. Every man was happy as a child.

***
On the International Women’s Day male colleagues decided to take revenge and literally buried women in flowers.

***
Attentive colleagues also made a delicious sushi dinner. But the most original present of the day became a personal photo session for every woman of the company. During the photo session all of a sudden a vampire emerged from the wardrobe and freaked the girls out. The pictures turned out to be amazing and a little bit awkward!
The final point of these two holidays became a present from the company for both men and women - 3-hour bowling in the most fashionable bowling clubs of Minsk.
***
Day 3:
The weekend is over and it’s time to go back to work and I really want to do it. Sounds awkward but I’m kind of missing my colleagues.
I enter the office and see that all my co-workers are stuck to one computer and are dying of laughter. What happened? I wanna know! LOOOOL! What is it? Is it a new tank? Oh it’s a real freak!!!!

So it was a new French tank (they are going to launch a new branch of tanks). Although we’ve spent almost the whole day rushing from one computer to another making fun of new tanks I managed to finish writing my piece of news and played World of Tanks. I even bought new spares for my tanks! Another thing that makes me be proud of myself is that I figured out the meaning of such words as trolling and ban
So I’m done for today. Good bye!
***
Day 4:
A new worker came today. He seems to be a nice guy. He brought a CAKE for us. I definitely like him cause I LOVE CAKES!!!! Sorry guys I’m rushing out to get my piece of “sweet happiness”.
The cake was delicious but it’s time to get down to work.  Today my task is to explore the forum. To be honest I came up with a very interesting topic – art. I should admit that some players are really gifted and have good imagination ‘cause not everyone can create such masterpieces as they did. I literally was mesmerized by some pictures, video and poems (especially by “Tanks in Africa”).
It’s already 6 pm and our managers gather all the workers together in the conference room. What do they want? I need to find out! I’ll be back soon.
It turned out that our game World of Tanks was released in China!!! They wanted to celebrate this event all together with champagne and fruit! I love the style of management in this company!!!
Catrine aka Ryna. To be continued...

Overlord: See it thanks. Actually waiting for Italian and Spanish.

Overlord: Guys, this is urgent.

Overlord: We have corrected the banners. What about the page itself, can we use it as it is now?

Overlord: Attention! For all teams, please translate the following lines:

LiannaSilverwind: Also notice that Gold shells lose penetration due to travelling distance much faster than standard AP shells. Source: Russian forum Q & A.

Overlord: Aye, it's fine now. Thanks.

Overlord: Since the suggested changes require complete rework of the current graphics, I need to make sure such changes are absolutely necessary. Is the current text inappropriate? Elaborate this a bit please.

Overlord:

Overlord: The dependence is not linear. Vehicle's height is the basic value.
All camo values are being reconsidered currently, the new ones can be applied in v.0.6.4.

Overlord: Turkish. This line is not displayed correctly for us.
Başlangıç ​​​​​​​​[- - tarihi] bitiş tarihinden sonra olamaz.
Can you check it?

Overlord: Attention! Translation of pre-orders, an extra line for Portuguese-EU, Czech, Italian, and Spanish.
Exclusive offer until April 12

Overlord: These lines are missing in Finnish.
And what is the Finnish for the preposition "of"? (taken from screenshots.html.0.)

OldFox: PAI galvenais vispar trapit merki, un viss bus ok.

Overlord: Still waiting for Hungarian and Portuguese-EU translations.

Overlord: It's not difficult. Max speed limits for most of the heavy tanks were decreased on purpose (including IS-4 and IS-7).
Moreover it's question of passability and terrain since most values are given for roadway (asphalt).

Overlord: Still only few notice Panther II being treated the same way. It has got the engine that has never been finished and got extra 80 h.p to the planned value.

Overlord: Clan Wars haven't even started yet, so it's not the right time to discuss possibility of future wipe. It will be performed if needed only.

LiannaSilverwind: Considering timelines and balance issues, I have found interesting thing at Russian forum Developers Questions & Answers:
http://forum.worldof...ost__p__2055680

LiannaSilverwind: Top engine for T-54 is improved diesel engine V-55 that was used on real T-54s. The fact that Panther has engine that was never ever finished and with boosted ingame characteristics against planned prototype (980 hp ingame vs. 900 hp in prototype that was never made) does not stop people from using double standards in vehicle comparison.
Well, in case that you do not like current top T-54 engine so much, we can change it, for, let's say, V-12-6B engine made in 1954. Engine power will be boosted from 680 hp to 750 hp in order to follow historical reality then.

Overlord: The speed limit for Tiger, Tiger II, and Jagdtiger may be increased by 4 km/h each. Currently it is under consideration.

Overlord: 1. Weight and speed will influence the ability to push destroyed vehicles. E.g. one IS won't be able to push Maus, but 2 or 3 of them will do the trick. "Corpses" will be pushed VERY slowly, like 10-30m a minute.
2. They will act as they do now.

Overlord: Most likely some camos/skins will actually grant a kind of minor bonus like +5% to camo. If implemented, it will stack with all other similar bonuses, camo net, crew skill.

Overlord: We are thinking of a separate slot that will be used only for camos.

Overlord: US TDs are planned for v.0.7 which is supposed to come after the following patch v.0.6.4.

Overlord: It will be adjusted so as to perform on a par with the other two tier 9 TDs and become useful in clan wars. JT's mantlet is supposed to benefit from the new mechanics, gun and speed buffs are quite possible.

Overlord: There were no changes to IS-4.
Perhaps you have improved your aiming skills.

Overlord: 1. 5%, just like regular tanks.
2. Some premium tanks won't be purchasable for gold in-game, e.g. pre-order tanks, gift tanks, tanks for box version.
3. This gun should be compared to L-10 available for T-28 instead. It has got better accuracy and aiming time.
4. In terms of performace of this tank is somewhat similar to A-20 since they both were T-34 prototypes.
5. No, it has already been finalized.
6. 300 gold per slot is the designated price. There was a long-lasting discount. Maximum number of slots is limited of course, but this number is much higher than the number of tanks in-game.
7. No. This is not planned.

Overlord: Russian server cluster is moving from Munich to Moscow at this time. It was a stress test for the new equipment. European cluster stays in Germany.

Overlord: Current sounds are planned to improved, this applies to crew voices too.

Overlord: The 3rd option should be correct. Though it needs additional check-up and redesign. This is being worked on.

Overlord: Actually it was one of initial clan wars principles to minimize the possibility of one single clan to dominate on the global map. Though an alliance of several clans will be able to possess large territory.

Overlord: Clans won't be wiped. Otherwise what's the purpose of launching clan registration with the wipe approaching.

LiannaSilverwind: Here is how you should react to teamdamagers/teamkillers:
1) Make screenshot of them shooting at you or destroying you
2) Send it to support@worldoftanks.eu
3) They got punished.
We will implement autoban system for such people soon.
Until that time please follow our forum rules and do not make generalizations about nations, neither do post TK names. Support will nail them.
Thank you.
Lia

LiannaSilverwind: No. It's quite opposite. Skill percentage affects the rank.

LiannaSilverwind: Alpha and non-Alpha version are identical outside of big white A on turret of Alpha version. Alpha was granted to Russian alpha-testers before.

OldFox: He-he, dargie draugi:) Tētis drosi vien vel atceras tos laikus, kad KV ar 152 mm bija patiesam kaut-kads murgs. Jo sai 152 mm haubicei izkliede nebija 0,6 ka paslaik, bet 0,4. Vot tad KV mocija visus! Bet paslaik KV ir plus-minus sabalansets sava limeni ar tiem pasiem Pz4 un T1hvy. Vienkarsi vajag zinat un izmantot katra tanka stipras un vajas puses.

Overlord: All premium tanks enjoy higher credit gains than their classmates and are elite on default, these are their advantages which are not planned to be changed.

Overlord: Clan leader (possibly deputy commanders as well) and treasurer will have access to clan treasury, it will be up to them how to distribute gold among clan members.

Overlord: It's definitely a bug. We had this issue with some other SPG units earlier. I would be very grateful if you could provide us video featuring this bug.

Overlord: Please? :<
If I have to wait for it to be done, then I'll wait.
Actually I meant, we don't any finished German vehicle ready to be implemented into the game. Not that we have run out of ideas.

Overlord: Yes, most of the models are already finished, but the production of French tree is delayed for benefit of E-series and tanks for revised US tree.
There are no special issues with multiple guns/turrets or automatic loading, they both just haven't been worked on enough yet.
Thus there is not much to reveal at this time, French vehicles with new loading mechanics will be able to shoot 5-6 shots in a row being able to inflict enormous damage, but they will have very long loading times.

Overlord: In order to damage/destroy the target you need actually hit and penetrate it first. Other than nothing else will stop French "from obliterating everything".
Oscillating turrets, automatic loading, multiple guns/turrets are the main features of French vehicles.

Overlord: 1. Visible crews for open top vehicles are not planned currently. Supposing they are modelled, what would happen to them, when the vehicle is destroyed.
2. We were considering this for some time, but haven't come up to the final decision. Infantry might be added in the long-run.

Overlord: Profitablity of high tier SPGs can be considered in the upcoming patch. We are working on it at the moment.

Overlord: As far as I know, currently such record is not kept for players. Possiblly will be introduced later.

Overlord: Yes. The same mechanics as for modules.

Overlord: Possible gift tank is not in the game currently. It won't be purchasable after the release.

Overlord: No comments.

Overlord: Make sure your internet connection is fine, nothing blocks the game client. Try to test your connection to the server using, for example PingPlotter.

Overlord: Attached File(s)  play_registration_18-03.rar (4.47K)
Number of downloads: 23

Vallter: We know that our players sometimes modify the game client in a way, that allows them to see tracers for a longer period of time. We considered this unacceptable and we are planning to fix it in upcoming updates, so changing the game client renders it inoperable.
