DomoSapien: I don't think it's so much a way to get you to spend more Gold as it is a stylistic choice. Not all nations have semi-transparent camo patterns, but the weathering on the tips of the barrels as well as around corners and welds allows you to display a different color underneath the non-transparent camo patterns. 

For example, my sweet blue accents on the Strv 103b

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!    I just wanted to touch base and let you know this will not be the last you see of Frontline. We need to work on optimizing performance, and we do have a large amount of feedback and suggestions about Frontline to comb through, as well.    Speaking of, what would you like to see in the future of Frontline? Historic Battles in Frontline, maybe? Switch up the Tiers? Maybe nation vs nation?    Let us know what you would like to see  

TeriyakiTanker:   It works just fine and you should really stop being paranoid, why do you need to "trust" WG at all?  It is a perk that works and doesn't mention anything about "benefiting the shot" so not sure where you came up with that.  When you have it trained to 100%, it is a perk after all, it will show if the tank you are targeting has any damaged modules.  Displays right on your screen above the aiming reticle.  Not a particularly useful skill compared to a lot of others but I could see taking it as a 6th or 7th skill on some tanks.  Much more important are BiA, 6th sense, camo, repairs, recon, and situational awareness (list not in any meaningful order).

Felipe6666Original:   Creo que en este mes jugué puro Línea del Frente. Las aleatorias que figuran son las que jugué mientras esperaba a que arranque el evento

Gnomon: Thanks for the lists, folks! I'm going to run the contest until midnight tonight (PDT) to make sure everyone has a chance to participate. If you want to be entered into the contest, make sure you have your lists in before that time.    I will announce the winners on the 5th  

Gnomon: Hey everyone, Please be aware that Frontline has officially ended and the mode has been removed from the client. We wanted to thank everyone who participated in the mode and took the time to provide feedback. If you have any comments you'd like to share with us over Frontline, please be sure to do so in the WCFR thread here: Frontline Mode Be sure to stay tuned for more info on upcoming events. Hope you have a great week, and best of luck on the battlefield! 

MA77: Boas sugestões. Curti. 

MA77:   ​Fala Modkai!

Qual seria o nickname do seu recruta?

MA77:   ​Conseguiu resolver, Recruta?

MA77:   ​Pode sim, RulerMaus.

Felipe6666Original:   Pueden consultar con Soporte, pero insisto en que no hubo errores registrados de nuestra parte.  

Felipe6666Original:   Voy a consultar con el Gerente de Contenido y actualizaré la respuesta.   ¡Saludos!

Mezurashi: Alright, locking up this thread before it becomes more absurd than it already is.  

TeriyakiTanker:   How absolutely pathetic, you are actually afraid to fight a guy who is going to be one tier below you...… sad, sad, and sad.

TeriyakiTanker: If you are going to be free to play I would consider looking for bonus codes that will give you a free low tier premium tank.  Also changing your password once used to give you a couple hundred free gold which you can use to dismount equipment, not sure that still works but give it a shot.  Also look into missions and marathons to get as much free stuff as you can. This game is a trade off between time and money, so if you aren't going to put any money in be ready to spend some serious time getting things done.  Getting some low tier premiums through missions like on-tracks is also really helpful for earning silver and training crews.  Hope that helps.

TeriyakiTanker:   I cant believe you are showing everyone how scared you are...… damn you really are pathetic.  I mean really how embarrassed are your parents anyway?

Lert: Rivals.

DomoSapien: Hey there! I understand the T14 Ultimate bundle is a bit out of your budget. While I understand where you're coming from, we have a standalone T14 that comes with a garage slot and 500 Gold for 12 bucks. Perhaps that's a bit more reasonable?

As for the tanks not costing anything, that's not quite true. I used to think the same thing: Well, the tank is just data. Why should it cost anything? 

You're not paying for the lines of code, you're paying the people who wrote the code. For the tank, the people who researched the vehicle, the people who designed the model, the people who answer your tickets if you have some kind of an issue with your purchase, etc.
  ... and the people who reply to your forum threads, like me!

If you'd prefer not to purchase the vehicle, no worries! You're welcome to enjoy this awesome game without spending so much as a dime. If you choose to support us with your purchases, fantastic! Thanks for helping me work on something that I love, in an industry that I've been interested virtually my whole life. Without folks like you, I wouldn't have this amazing job interacting with all you amazing people.

TeriyakiTanker:   My teammates may well get more exp but I doubt I do.  Not to mention watching someone chase a guy down around the map for another two minutes while I could be in another game isn't exactly my idea of fun.  If you cant catch him in the minute plus it takes me to cap that's a you problem.

Felipe6666Original: Bueno, luego de mucho esfuerzo invertido para alcanzar los requisitos mínimos, me complace anunciar que argsarge se une a nuestro Programa de Contribuidores de la Comunidad. ¡Muchas felicidades para él y a no aflojar!   ¡Mucha suerte para el resto!

DomoSapien: Hey Folks,  Quick announcement for ya: The T1E6 and the T14 are currently being offered on the Premium Shop in a variety of bundles.
The T14 features a forgiving armor profile and a decent gun for its tier. There aren't a lot of tanks that give me trouble in my Pz. V/IV but this is one of them. While it doesn't feature particularly aggressive frontal armor, its reinforced sides make this thing a corner-hugging, sidescraping machine! The T1E6 on the other hand is a relatively easy to pick-up, solid all around light tank for its tier. Players looking to get a taste of scout gameplay might want to try out this vehicle to get a good idea of the general playstyle. I am not KrzyBooP, nor do I have details on the interior (last I checked it was standard milspec, really not sure where he gets all these custom interiors done but I'm looking to get my car seats reupholstered so perhaps I should have a chat with him...) but I can give you my personal guarantee that I won't get offended should you lob a few rounds my way on the battlefield in your shiny new T1E6 or T14  
For pricing and details, please head on over to the article on our news page.

Not like my Sharks are going to win a Stanley cup ever in the history of the earth...

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas a todos!   Sí, estoy leyendo el hilo y elevando sus reclamos. Espero tener una respuesta lo antes posible.   ¡Saludos!   UPDATE 1: Me confirman que van a revisar los logs de batallas de los clanes que aquí se hicieron presentes para identificar el error. UPDATE 2: El sistema no muestra errores de batallas para los clanes que señalaron el problema. En la mayoría de los casos, cuando esto sucede, algún miembro del equipo participante tiene instalado algún mod defectuoso o ilegal o una conexión de baja calidad. En tales casos, las batallas no se juegan directamente. UPDATE 3: Nupetiet, tienes que enviar un ticket a Soporte detallando el problema. El equipo debería tener las herramientas para rastrear si hubo errores de nuestra parte en las inversiones efectuadas.

DomoSapien: Call me crazy, but I think the WGL versions look cooler  

I'd love to have the ability to customize my 13 57 with paint and camo, but still feature the banner on the turret.

As for the swap, we actually did offer a swap when the vehicle was being sold in April. Not sure if another swap will be offered, but it may be a possibility in the future.

DomoSapien:
I don't have both vehicles, so I'm not 100% sure, but from my understanding once you train your crews in camo + bia and apply camo paint, the values should even out, like the 13 57 and the Defender.

MA77: Olha o Chimera de novo aí gente!    Hoje, a segunda fase de testes começa para o Chimera. Nós ajustamos as especificações deste tanque médio britânico de nível VIII com base nos resultados da fase anterior. Em resumo, reduzimos o dano alpha de 490 para 440 e revisamos os parâmetros de mira e mobilidade. A primeira versão do Chimera poderia sobreviver por muito tempo no campo de batalha causando muito dano.       Por que nós nerfamos ele? Em essência, a primeira versão do Superteste do Chimera foi um teste. Queríamos avaliar qual era o desempenho de um tanque médio bem blindado, móvel e com um grande dano alpha. A resposta que recebemos foi: "é bom demais". O dano de 490 com munição padrão, juntamente com uma arma confiável, boa proteção e velocidade, fizeram com que este nível médio VIII estivesse um tanto desequilibrado.   A primeira versão do Chimera poderia rapidamente atingir os pontos fracos de seus inimigos e disparar evitando a troca de dano. Ele poderia dar disparos poderosos quase sem receber dano. Os resultados foram níveis extremamente altos de sobrevivência e dano de batalha.   Excelentes parâmetros de pontaria e boa mobilidade tornaram o Chimera muito versátil em termos de tática. Destacou-se tanto para emboscar com seu grande alpha quanto para fornecer suporte a distâncias médias. Ser tão bom em papéis diferentes era demais para um tanque, mesmo com um nome tão bom.   E o que vamos fazer exatamente? Vamos revisar o dano alpha e os parâmetros de mira do Chimera. Queremos manter suas principais características: bom dano, blindagem decente e boa mobilidade. Também queremos garantir que os parâmetros de mira permaneçam decentes. Este tanque não deve ser um soldado universal, mas tentar acertar o alvo não deve colocar sua paciência à prova.   E o que vai acontecer agora? Saberemos quando esta nova fase do Superteste termina.   Acompanhe as novidades e boa sorte no campo de batalha!

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!    Today marks the beginning of the second Supertest for the Chimera. The stats of this Tier VIII British medium tank have been adjusted based on the results of the previous testing. In short, we’ve lowered the alpha damage to 440 points (down from 490 points) and have revised its targeting and mobility parameters. The first version of Chimera was able to survive in battle for too long and could deal out far too much damage.     So, why did we make these changes?   Essentially, the first Chimera Supertest was an experiment of sorts: we wanted to see how a tough and mobile medium tank with a big alpha would fare in battle. Turns out it works a little too well. 490 points of damage with a basic round, add in a comfy gun, some great protection and speed to make a Tier VIII medium a bit imbalanced.    The first iteration of Chimera was able to quickly aim at enemies’ weak points and strike while being able to avoid any return fire. It could score several severely damaging shots in a row while getting barely scratched itself. That iteration had abnormally high survivability and damage per battle.   Excellent aiming parameters and nice mobility also made the first Chimera too versatile. It excelled both as an ambusher relying on alpha, and as a mid-range fire support vehicle. Being equally good at two different roles is a bit too much for one tank, even though it has a cool name.   You might find yourself asking what we are going to do with the tank.   Basically, we’ll fine-tune Chimera’s alpha and its aiming stats. We want to keep the signature features of Chimera—high one-time damage, decent protection, and good mobility—and make sure that the targeting parameters are still comfortable while playing. This tank shouldn’t be a universal super-soldier, but at the same time, the process of shooting shouldn’t try your patience. The Chimera must stay a highly mobile sniper making use of its alpha while playing at above medium range.   So, what happens next?    We’ll see by the end of this Supertest. So please make sure to follow the news and let us know of any feedback you have!    Best of luck on the battlefield! 

Gnomon: Why, hello again! 
It's just a morning full of news. Basically, I just wanted to let you all know about the Tank Mastery Missions for June 2018. If you didn't already know, by getting more Base XP in a single battle than the highest average Base XP earned in a single battle by 99% of players (in the same tank over the past seven days), you'll earn an Ace Tanker Mastery Badge. In June, if you get this Badge on certain tanks during certain weeks, you'll also earn some bonus awards (Tank Mastery Emblems and some Personal Reserves) through missions!  Beginning today, we will start the Tank Mastery Missions for June that will change on a weekly basis.  Be sure to check out our portal article on these missions, as there are quite a few and all dates are listed: Tank Mastery Missions For June 2018 Thanks, and best of luck in your battles!  PS: Looks like the BDR G1 B is in the first Wave of Mastery missions. We are currently selling the Mordian Warhammer 40K style for this tank, which looks pretty awesome. Be sure to check it out if you're interested! Tank Style Sale: BDR G1 B Mordian

Gnomon: Hey everyone,  As you may have seen from Jambijon's post, we are offering a trade in for an unskinned version of the lekpz M 41 90 GF.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, tanquistas!   En el día de hoy, comienza la segunda fase de pruebas para el Chimera. Ajustamos las especificacioes de este tanque mediano británico de nivel VIII en base a los resultados de la fase anterior. En resumen, reducimos el daño alfa de 490 a 440 puntos y revisamos  los parámetros de apuntamiento y movilidad. La primera versión del Chimera podía sobrevivir por mucho tiempo en el campo de batalla ocasionando mucho daño.     ¿Por qué lo nerfeamos? En esencia, la primera versión de Supertest del Chimera fue una prueba. Queríamos evaluar cuál era el desempeño de un tanque mediano duro y móvil con un gran daño alfa. La respuesta que obtuvimos es "Demasiado bien". Los 490 de daño con munición estándar junto con un cañón confiable, una gran protección y una buena velocidad hicieron que este mediano de nivel VIII esté algo desbalanceado. La primera versión del Chimera podía apuntar rápidamente a los puntos débiles de sus enemigos y disparar evitando el intercambio de daño. Podía asestar varios golpes poderosos casi sin recibir daño. Los resultados fueron niveles extremadamente elevados de supervivencia y daño por batalla.   Parámetros excelentes de apuntamiento y buena movilidad hicieron al Chimera muy versátil en cuando a tácticas. Se destacaba tanto para tender emboscadas con su gran alfa como para proveer fuego de soporte a distancias medias. Ser tan bueno en roles diferentes era demasiado para un tanque, incluso con un nombre tan genial.   ¿Y qué vamos a hacer exactamente? Vamos a revisar el daño alfa y parámetros de apuntamiento del Chimera. Queremos mantener sus caractaerísticas principales: buen daño, protección decente y buena movilidad. También queremos asegurarnos de que los parámetros de apuntamiento sigan siendo decentes. Este tanque no debería ser un soldado universal, pero al mismo intentar dar en el blanco no debería poner tu paciencia a prueba.   ¿Y qué sucederá ahora? Lo sabremos cuando termine esta nueva fase del Supertest. ¡Así que sigan las noticias y mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!  This weekend, you'll be able to earn x2 Crew XP (repeatable, win the battle, and be in the Top 10 XP earners) and earn some consumables from Supply Raid missions. Want the exact details of these missions? Be sure to read over them in our portal article here: x2 Crew XP Weekend & Supply Raid Missions! Thanks, and hope you have a great weekend! 

Gnomon: If you've never been to Yosemite, I highly recommend visiting (if you're going through California). I went there camping once, and it was an amazing experience. Although, it can be very touristy and traffic can get pretty bad.   Plus side to dealing with the people? Seeing this stuff up close (pictures are not mine):

  Yosemite      

CabbageMechanic:  
Good news!  Jambijon jumped the gun a little bit, this is part of the unskinned M41 90 going up for sale in the Premium Shop tomorrow.
 

CabbageMechanic:
Absolutely.
 

CabbageMechanic:
No, they are different vehicles in the game files.
 

CabbageMechanic:
Not in the tech tree, but in the Premium Shop - tomorrow.
 

CabbageMechanic:   The statistics will not transfer because they are different vehicles in the game files.  You are of course welcome to keep the Black Dog.

 

CabbageMechanic:  
Yes, it would.  Tl;DR: When this stuff was built the new customization system wasn't finished yet.    

CabbageMechanic:   You are welcome to keep the skinned version with camo values, but if you swap you will have an un-skinned version without camo.

TeriyakiTanker:   E25 is already an autoloader that never needs to reload the clip.....

Gnomon:   Supertests happen at the early stages of development, usually a month or more before release. They involve checking new changes and trying to find the most critical issues before opening the tests to the public. STs are divided into production tests (new maps, balancing vehicles, etc.), and version tests (the entirety of the update).   After we finish the Supertest, it then goes to the Common Test for all players to try (like Update 1.0.2, currently). 

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!    The second Common Test for Update 1.0.2 is now live!    Our portal article lists all changes and testing times: Update 1.0.2: Common Test 2 is Here!    Also, please be aware that the test server will be restarted regularly, according to the following schedule:   First Periphery: 20:00 PT | 22:00 CT | 23:00 ET every day. Average duration will be around 25 minutes. Second Periphery:  21:00 PT | 23:00 CT | 00:00 ET every day. Average duration will be around 25 minutes. Central Database:  01:00 PT | 03:00 CT | 04:00 ET every day. Average duration will be around 2 minutes.   In this test, we fixed several issues and also included some changes to a few tanks.    Be sure to check out what has been changed:   List of Changes Main Changes:   Fixed the issue of the client interface hanging up when excluding a player from a Platoon. Fixed the issue of the award ribbon overlaying the text in the battle results window (in the Team Result tab). Removed invisible walls on the Tundra map. Fixed several technical issues related to vehicle customization. Fixed the issue that caused the customization Garage to be too dark at the low graphics settings. Fixed several visual issues in Bootcamp.
