TeriyakiTanker:   I would hope so considering they are basically a different generation of tank.

TeriyakiTanker:   Like you have been doing since the start of this thread?  Maybe if you didn't come on and act like an [edited]you would get some better responses.

The_Chieftain: OK. This is not a simulator. There are some minor deviances from reality such as 'a lack of combined arms', 'equal teams', 'spotting rules', 'hitpoints', 'track repair', 'ammunition access', 'track tension', 'mechanical reliability', etc... so any claims to historical reality have to be taken with a pinch of salt. We try to model the vehicles as best we can, but ultimately, it's an arcade game.   That said, I'm not sure quite what the OP is complaining about. The German Tier VI mediums were, generally speaking, prototypes or paper panzers, so there isn't very much to complaing about 'historical accuracy' except for the fact that they're in the game in the first place.. The 'real' Tier VIs, Nashorn, Jgdpz IV, and Dicker Max seem to perform reasonably in comparison to their opposition, given that they are TDs.   As for the odd side thread of my background, I'm not sure I see the relevance to this topic. Doesn't have much to do with the game or history. Besides,  As long as HRC, and DFAS continue to believe I'm in the military, I don't think it really matters what anyone else thinks.

TeriyakiTanker:   There is a big difference between using the 76mm on a tier 6 and using it on a tier 7.

Mezurashi: Guys, stepping on a thin line here.

Please keep it constructive and avoid the personal insults please.

Felipe6666Original:   Sí, estarán disponibles para ambas regiones (LATAM y NA).   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   Nono, me refiero a cuando eras atancante y tu equipo campeaba, no el enemigo. Te perjudicaba mucho intentar avanzar con varios campers solo mirando

Felipe6666Original:   ¡Justo lo acabo de corregir!   ¡Saludos!

TeriyakiTanker:   You don't even own it and you don't own arty, what are yo u all  up in arms about?

TeriyakiTanker:   Blocked 4k damage in my T95 this morning.

Gnomon: Hey folks! I'm looking into the 277's h.p./t difference in the articles with our teams. I will update you here when I have some more info. Thanks for bringing that to our attention  

Felipe6666Original:   ¿No era que querías que volvieran los torneos?  

Felipe6666Original:   El lunes lo sabrán  

Felipe6666Original:   En NA. Esto es algo progresivo en todos los aspectos. No solo en los tipos de torneos que incorporaremos lentamente, sino también en su disponibilidad   ¡Saludos!

Gnomon:   Yeah, sorry for the weird wording! I'll be sure to clear it up in my main post 

DomoSapien:     Hey, everyone!    As you probably know from my Supertest and Common Test posts, we've been working on adjusting three Soviet tanks to fit better with overall gameplay. They are:   Object 277 K-91 Object 268 Version 4    The Object 277 and K-91 will arrive in update 1.0.2.    The above communication from WoT appears to say that the V 4 will remain unchanged for one more full patch (1.0.2)   Patch 1.0.1 is the current build that is live on the Game Server. 1.0.2 is the upcoming patch. Whether or not that patch will be ready prior to the tournament is tbd but cautious optimism doesn't hurt

DomoSapien: We had a corporate 3v3 tournament a couple years ago called "Open Fire"; my team of myself, Irony, and 1984Bigbrother went up against PizzaStorm, Hypnotik, and Saffr0n on Mines in the finals. Needless to say it was a hard-fought battle but thanks to some advice from Yoott, we devised a pretty clutch strategy that helped us clinch the W and go on to represent the NA region in the Finals at WG Headquarters in Nicosia, Cyprus.

Should be an interesting tournament indeed! Best of luck to everyone participating!

DomoSapien:

Felipe6666Original: ¡Hola a todos!   Nos complace anunciar que estamos listos (finalmente) para anunciar el regreso de los tan amados torneos. Su regreso será algo progresivo. Es decir, empezaremos con cosas simples y luego iremos estableciendo un calendario regular de torneos en sus diferentes variantes: casuales, competitivos, de clanes, etc. Jambijon y Domosapien, dos representantes del equipo de NA, serán los nuevos responsables de este proyecto, pero estaremos en contacto constante con ellos para coordinar todo el proceso. Honestamente, estamos muy felices de poder relanzar algo que hizo sentir tanto su ausencia en nuestras comunidades.   Nuestro primer torneo tendrá lugar el próximo viernes, 15 de junio. Haremos una publicación el próximo lunes, 11 de junio, detallando las reglas, premios y cuestiones pertinentes. Probablemente, el resgistro tendrá lugar entre el martes 12 de junio y el jueves 14 de junio. Algunos detalles:   Torneo de Pelotón 3 vs. 3, eliminación simple Nivel X Ataque/Defensa en Minas   No podemos expresar en palabras toda su paciencia en este tiempo. Si tienen sugerencias para nuestros futuros torneos, ¡déjenlas en los comentarios!   ¡Saludos!

MA77: Salve!
A Wargaming North America está finalmente pronta para anunciar o retorno dos torneios!  Eles voltarão de forma gradual e assim será até criarmos uma agenda igual havia nos anos anteriores, atendendo tanto aos jogadores mais casuais quanto aos mais competitivos. Jambijon e Domosapien serão os novos administradores destes torneios, e estamos muito felizes de anunciar algo que todos estavam sentindo falta nos últimos meses. O torneio de abertura começará na próxima sexta-feira, 15 de Junho. Regras detalhadas, premiação e agenda serão anunciadas na segunda-feira, 11 de Junho com o registro ficando disponível entre terça e quinta-feira. Alguns detalhes sobre o primeiro torneio:
- Platournament 3v3 Bo3, Eliminação Simples
- Nível X
- Ataque/Defesa em Mines Obrigado por sua paciência e espera durante esses longos meses. Tem alguma sugestão de formato para futuros torneios? Conte-nos nos comentários!
Grande abraço!

TeriyakiTanker:   Cool cause I think I gave you that link some time ago now

TeriyakiTanker:   You have to be kidding right?  Its almost never the game servers that are the problem, usually there is something local or in between that is the issue.  Game running fine for thousands of other people would be an indication that it isn't the game server that is the issue.

TeriyakiTanker:  This is a really good crew skill calculator.  You can find out exactly how much you need to get to any level skill. http://www.planetwot.com/Crewxp/  Basically you need 210,064 exp to get to 100% on your first skill and you need 90,086 to get from 88% to 100% on your first skill so basically you are half way there.

CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,
I am pleased to say that we are finally prepared to announce the return of Tournaments to the NA server.  As I stated previously, we will be starting simple and working our way up, but we will move towards re-establishing a regular schedule of tournaments ranging from casual slugfests to serious competitive brackets, and even Call to Arms style clan showdowns.  Jambijon and Domosapien will be our new tournament administrators, and together we are excited to relaunch something that has been sorely missing from our region for the last several months.
Our opener will take place next Friday, June 15th.  A detailed post covering rules, prizing, and registration will made next Monday, June 11th, and you can expect registration to take place from Tuesday-Thursday of next week.  Some other details:
- Platournament 3v3 Bo3 Single Elimination format
- Tier X
- Attack/Defense on Mines
Thank your for your patience, and please feel free to leave any suggestions regarding the format and implementation of future tournaments below!

Felipe6666Original:   ¡Así es!

Felipe6666Original:   Sí, juego (cuando toca, claro) y me entretiene bastante (suelo jugar con medianos o pesados). Pero sí reconozco que el nivel de campeo se hace notar bastante. Aunque, si vamos al caso, había bastante campeo en Línea del Frente y era mucho más perjudicial cuando intentabas atacar   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, tanquistas!   Seguimos trabajando en el nuevo mapa para Grandes Batallas (el que contiene elementos soviéticos). Anteriormente, probamos dos variantes de este mapa que poseían estilos de juego diferentes. En el día de hoy, ingresa al Supertest una versión actualizada. Está basada en las opiniones que recibimos de ambos prototipos.   La nueva versión del  mapa "soviético" de Grandes Batallas combina espacios abiertos con bloques urbanos. Su tamaño es de 1800m×1800m (1400m×1400m desde los límites del mapa).   Mientras tabajábamos en esta nueva versión, decidimos agregar más líneas de interacción entre las distintas línea de ataque. Avanzar y asegurar cualquiera de los flancos les dará múltiples opciones para continuar con su ataque y proveer de soporte a aliados en otras zonas del mapa. Todos los caminos están interconectados de alguna manera.   El mapa cuenta con 5 zonas principales de combate:     Los cruces de camino del oeste. Un gran espacio abierto dividido en varias partes por el río. Esta zona es ideal para emboscadas y francotiradores, pero los bancos del río pueden proteger a los vehículos atacantes del fuego enemigo. Los bloques urbanos. Esta zona favorece a los vehículos bien blindados y permite los combates cercanos. Además, ofrece muchas opciones de maniobras y un camino corto directo a la base enemiga. La colina central. Tanques con buena depresión pueden beneficiarse de ella, y además ayudar a sus aliados cercanos. Al principio de la batalla, los tanques ligeros deberían echar un vistazo rápido y así detectar a sus enemigos más adelantados. El “cuello de botella”. Esta zona apartada del mapa es ideal para tanques pesados. Puede ser usada para flanquear los bloques de ciudad (2) y ayudar a los aliados. La aldea del este. Vehículos ligeros pueden ocultarse aquí detrás de una gran cantidad de casas destructibles. La táctica de disparar y correr es ideal para esta zona. También se pueden ocupar las posiciones de detección que te darán una buena vista de colina (3) y cierta capacidad para saber que está ocurriendo allí. ​ Imágenes     En esta fase de pruebas planeamos revisar el balance tanto del mapa entero como cada línea de ataque. También evaluaremos cuán bien funcionan las interrelaciones de las líneas de ataque en su conjunto. De acuerdo a los resultados, decidiremos qué hacer a continuación con este prototipo.   ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

MA77: Nós estamos progredindo com o mapa (o do cenário soviético). Anteriormente, testamos duas variantes deste mapa que tinham diferentes layouts de jogabilidade. Hoje, começamos o Superteste de uma versão atualizada do referido mapa. Nós baseamos nossas mudanças no feedback que recebemos nos dois protótipos. Além disso, temos algumas screenshots no spoilers abaixo.
 
A nova versão do mapa da "Grande Batalha" soviética combina espaços abertos com quarteirões da cidade. Seu tamanho é 1800m × 1800m (1400m × 1400m pela linha vermelha).
Enquanto trabalhávamos, estávamos muito interessados ​​em adicionar mais interação entre diferentes rotas de ataque. Avançando em qualquer um dos flancos e garantindo uma posição forte, você terá várias opções para continuar seu ataque e também para apoiar aliados em outras partes do mapa. Todas as rotas próximas umas das outras estão interconectadas dessa maneira.
 
O mapa tem cinco zonas de combate:
  O desvio ocidental: Uma grande área aberta dividida em várias seções pelo rio. Esta zona serve para franco-atiradores, mas as margens do rio podem cobrir os companheiros de ataque do fogo inimigo. Os quarteirões da cidade: Este lugar favorece tanques bem blindados e brigas próximas. Ele oferece muitas opções que você pode usar para derrotar inimigos, e tem um atalho para a base inimiga. A colina central: Tanques com boa depressão podem se beneficiar e também ajudar seus aliados nas proximidades. No início da batalha, os tanques leves podem ter um vislumbre de onde os oponentes estão indo com uma rápida observação. O "gargalo": Esta parte isolada do mapa combina com tanques fortemente blindados. Pode ser usado para flanquear a zona dos quarteirões da cidade (2) e ajudar os amistosos. A aldeia no leste: Tanques velozes podem se esconder atrás de várias casas destrutíveis. Táticas de acertar e correr podem ser empregadas. Tomando este local dá-lhe uma bela vista da colina (3) e a capacidade de controlar o que está acontecendo lá.   Nesta fase de testes, planejamos verificar o equilíbrio em todo o mapa e em cada rota de ataque separada. Também avaliaremos como essas direções de ataque mencionadas anteriormente estão funcionando.   Dependendo dos resultados, decidiremos o que acontece ao lado deste protótipo de mapa.   Mais imagens    

Gnomon: I had to make a second post because there were too many images    Even More Screenshots                                      

Gnomon: Hiya, folks!    Hope that you’re having a great Friday so far.    Today I wanted to talk about the new Grand Battle map.    We’re making progress with the map (the one in Soviet setting). Previously, we tested two variants of this map that had different gameplay layouts. Today, we begin the Supertest of an updated version of said map. We based our changes on the feedback we received on both prototypes. Also, I have some screenshots in the spoilers below, if you're interested.    The new version of the ‘Soviet’ Grand Battle map combines open spaces with city blocks. Its size is 1800m×1800m (1400m×1400m by the red line). While working on it we were very interested in adding more interaction between different attack routes. Advancing on either of the flanks and securing a strong position will give you multiple options for continuing your assault and also for supporting allies battling it out in other parts of the map. All routes next to each other are interconnected in such way.   The map has 5 combat zones:   The western bypass. A large open area split into several sections by the river. This zone fits ambushing snipers, but the river banks can cover attacking teammates from enemy fire. The city blocks. This place favors well armored tanks and close quarters brawling. It offers plenty of options you can use to outmaneuver enemies, and it has a shortcut to the enemy base. The central hill. Tanks with good gun depression can benefit here and also help their allies in close vicinity. At the start of the battle light tanks may be able catch a glimpse at where the opponents are headed with some quick scouting.  The “Bottleneck”. This isolated part of the map suits heavily armored tanks. It can be used for flanking the city blocks zone (2) and helping out friendlies. The village in the east. Speedy tanks can hide behind several destructible houses. Hit-and-run tactics may be employed. Taking this spot gives you a nice view of the hill (3) and the ability to control what’s happening there. On this stage of testing, we plan to check the balance on the entire map and on every separate attack route. We’ll also assess how well those earlier mentioned neighboring assault directions are working out. Depending on the results we’ll decide what happens next to this map prototype.   Map     Areas safe from artillery:     Screenshots (warning: lots o'pics)                           Be sure to keep an eye out on the news, and best of luck in your battles!

Gnomon: Hey everyone,    Every week, we post about a Tier VII or Tier VIII vehicle and bundle it with Premium Time and other items.     This week, we have the next Tier VIII, the Strv S1!    The Strv S1 (or as I like to call it, the Doorstop) has a nifty Siege mode that lets you increase your accuracy and aiming time. While you're in Siege mode, you won't lose binocs or your camo net when turning, making you a great sniper.    Think you might be interested? Be sure to check out the Bundle details on our portal article: Tier VIII of the Week: Strv S1   Tier VIII of the Week: Strv S1 June 8-15, 04:20 PT || 06:20 CT || 07:20 ET

Gnomon: Happy Friday!  I just wanted to stop by and let y'all know about a couple of events going on this weekend.   First, Aquino Tank Weekend is June 9th-11th! In honor of the event, we're starting things off with a x3 XP weekend (on the first win) with more discounts and events on the way.  We've also got the Ram II up for sale! Special Premium Tank Sale: Ram IIJune 8-11: 04:20 PT || 06:20 CT || 07:20 ET If you check out our article, you can see all the details of the missions we're doing for Aquino: x3 XP Weekendx3 XP WeekendJune 8-11: 04:20 PT || 06:20 CT || 07:20 ETx3XP for the First Win Thanks everyone, and best of luck on the battlefield! 

TeriyakiTanker: Most likely they will do a generic EU line and roll up a lot of stuff into it.  I am guessing that eventually you will see a Canadian line and probably an Israeli line once they cant come up with anything else to put in the game.  They aren't willingly going to stop making new tanks just because they don't fit into some idea of what this game should be limited to. Personally I think they really miss out by not including clones.  Do we really think the millions of Poles who play the game wouldn't grind the hell out of a Polish line that had a T-54 in it?

TeriyakiTanker:   Sounds like you already discovered 43,200 reasons why he wouldn't want to keep playing randoms.

MA77:   Entre em contato com a operadora e peça para eles verificarem.

Do nosso lado, está tudo correto. 

MA77:   Depende muito, mas normalmente são nas quintas. 

DomoSapien: I see you have about 500 battles. I would recommend going up the US medium line, which I see you're already doing.

I'm grinding US mediums now and I regret not going with them first; You pick up a lot of good habits along the way, and the tier VII, tier IX, and tier X are all really solid performers. Plus you get the M4 Sherman at tier V, and Shenanigans with the 105mm derp gun on that thing are always a good time. 

Starting at tier VII, US mediums teach you to play conservatively because you don't really get reliable turret armor until tier X, but have the alpha damage, gun handling, and gun depression to provide you with a lot of really good opportunities to support your team/dish out a bunch of damage. The squishy turret, in my opinion, is actually a benefit more than a drawback, because you try and avoid exposing your armor at all unless you know it's worth the risk to deal the damage. It forces you to assume the following: If I am hit, I will take damage.

The mentality of making efficient trades (not throwing away HP, trading hitpoints only when it's worth it, falling back and firing on the move etc.) is useful for each and every vehicle.

Check out this replay; the noteworthy part is the second half, where the remaining two enemy tanks are capable of one-shotting my T20. The early half is actually way aggressive for the T20, but I saw a weakness in the enemy's deployment and decided to capitalize on it. Things got interesting when it was down to me, the KV2R and the T29.


 

MA77: Aquele tópico não era atualizado desde o ano passado. 

Atualizei o mesmo com o IP do Central e do LATAM - que é este aqui: 92.223.10.14

 

HeadlockMvnky: Closing thread due to making non-constructive and off topic posts

DomoSapien: Play it like an ambush TD, the HE is quite stronk on the P.43.   Sit on rear to mid line, next to some hard cover, peek-a-boom, rinse and repeat. 

TeriyakiTanker:   I don't know about that I left bacon in my fridge for a couple of months and it looked like it went out of date for sure.

MA77:   Será já na Atualização 1.0.2, VaporSJP.

Ela estará disponível nas próximas semanas.
