DomoSapien: My impressions of the Progetto m35 Mod 46 so far, compared to the current iteration of the Progetto M40 mod 65 on Common Test:

The M35 is a more forgiving version of its Tier X counterpart. It shares similar attributes insofar as not being able to reliably snipe targets towards the edge of the draw distance circle, average alpha damage and DPM, with high penetration and good potential for flex play with high mobility and the autoreloading mechanic.
If you're interested in trying out the Italian line, but don't know if investing the time into grinding out the entire line is worth your while, the M35 is an excellent introduction to the high-tiered Italian tank playstyle. I've played about 40 battles on mine so far, with a winrate of 58%. 

I know you already have your M35, curious to hear your impressions once you have a chance to run some more battles? I think it stacks up pretty well even in tier X engagements.

Jambijon:   Thanks for bringing this up.  We noticed this as well and are currently working with our development team on a fix.  We'll update everyone as soon as we can.

CabbageMechanic:     No, we don't own that, and the implication that we do is amusing.

In very specific terms - Wargaming does not own Warpack and has no relationship with its creators.  Our Fair Play team has been very successful in detecting new illegal mods and will continue to develop that process - I am very pleased with their progress.

This is my favorite Wargaming conspiracy theory because it requires an enormous oversight of some basic business acumen.  Even if we were sinister types who secretly set up this wonderful tanking playground only to sell cheats for it on the side (and we aren't), we would still be heavily disincentivized to do so for basic economic reasons.  The tiny amount of possible revenue gained from such an obscure cheat service compared to the enormous potential revenue lost (not to mention inviting incredible fines from regulatory bodies) by having such a stupid activity legitimately exposed would make doing so a completely absurd business risk to take.

As for why we generally don't comment on this absurdity, it's because we hate cheats and have no interest in spreading awareness of them.

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!  Hope you're having a great Friday!  I just wanted to make you aware of a new tank hitting the Supertest. Today, we will start testing a new Soviet vehicle. This tank is a version of a tech-tree tank already present in the game. It is the historically accurate and riveting, T-34E. You can find some screenshots of it a bit further down in this post!  Gameplay-wise, this tank is fairly similar to its tech-tree counterpart. Apart from protective armor on the sides of its turret and hull (and a 76mm gun with APCR shells as basic ammo) the T-34E isn’t all that different from the original T-34. It was initially designed to improve protection for those sheltered within, the armored versions of the T-34 were “handmade” by engineers and tankers themselves. Additional armor plates, jerry-rigged over regular armor, were a common frontline solution to weak points. There were also attempts to manufacture reinforced concrete armor. This factory-made armor never entered mass production, but it did undergo battle testing. The first development stage of the T-34 armor dates back to 1941. In late 1941 (and early 1942) it entered mass production to be installed on hundreds of T-34’s. Later, the armor was ditched in favor of greater mobility and maintainability. The spring of 1943 saw the ‘second coming’ of armored T-34’s. A batch of 46 tanks was sent to the frontlines of battles, carrying several different types of armor. All of these were developed at Plant 112 in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod), to counter German 75mm HEAT shells. The T-34E that is entering the Supertest is based on the Plant 112 version. Its specs may be changed as we continue to test it and gather valuable data and community feedback; we’ll let you know if we tinker with the tank. As always, please leave your feedback below!  Best of luck on the battlefield!  T-34E Screenshots

Jambijon:   Yes, the bundle including the discounts you have earned will still be available after the event ends today.  However, I don't have the exact cutoff date available at the moment, but it's safe to say it will be available through the weekend.

Jambijon:   It's definitely a really fun tank, but the auto reloading mechanic is something to get used to and it all comes down to preference.  I can't really say if it will be sold with that type of discount in the future, but if you don't buy it you can always wait for the Italian line to come out.  If you are still on the fence, I would recommend checking out user reviews and videos to help with your decision.

MA77: No caso, você gostaria de uma separação de controle de volume para "Efeitos de Cenário" com "Efeitos do Veículo?

MA77: Reinstale o driver da placa de vídeo utilizando o Display Driver Uninstaller e instale a versão mais atualizada dele após.  

MA77: Salve! É um prazer compartilhar com você informações sobre nossos novos desenvolvimentos. Nesta ocasião, queremos apresentar-lhe um novo mapa para o modo Grandes Batalhas que acaba de entrar no Superteste. Estamos trabalhando em dois protótipos para um novo mapa de verão com ambiente soviético, que nos ajudará a escolher entre eles. As duas versões estão preparadas para dar ao mapa uma atmosfera intensa que recria uma luta desesperada contra os invasores alemães. Esses protótipos são mistos. Ou seja, eles combinam espaços abertos com áreas urbanas, o que permite que todos os tipos de veículos contribuam com sua parte. Há muitos espaços abertos para manobrar e outros para combates de perto com veículos fortemente blindados! No primeiro protótipo, todos podem demonstrar do que são feitos e contribuir para a vitória de sua equipe.  No segundo protótipo ele é inovador e assimétrico, os respawns são definidos de tal forma que ajudam uma das equipes a jogar de forma mais agressiva, enquanto a outra equipe deve defender e contra-atacar.  Os dados que obtemos dos testes nos ajudarão a decidir qual dessas duas versões é a mais divertida de se jogar para que os desenvolvedores continuem trabalhando neste mapa. Vamos compartilhar mais novidades sobre isso assim que as tivermos! Saudações! 

The_Chieftain: The reason that Ram, and one of the Sextons, are in the US line is simply because when they were released and people purchased them, there was no British line to put them into. You will note that the second Sexton, the researchable one, actually is on the British line. It’s just a matter of the release timing.

CabbageMechanic:   We aren't.  There are many, many more thousands of players using mod packs than have been banned.  I have personally investigated several cases where this claim was made because I was very concerned about this exact situation.  What we generally found is that most people who truly hadn't used illegal mods but were hit had shared their account at some point.

Please don't share your account.

CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,

1.0 has now been out for a little more than a month now, and we have reviewed all of your reactions as you have experienced it.  It is a massive change for the game and with that have inevitably come some hiccups.  We appreciate all you who have taken the time to give us constructive feedback on the positive and negative things you have encountered, and our Dev team has put together a video covering the release with their own experiences with the update.  Those of you who have concerns about some of the rebuilt old maps may find it particularly interesting - we hear you and will continue to work to improve them.



Happy Tanking!

Jambijon: Hey 1mp0ster,   The guide heavymetal1967 posted is very good.  I'll also include our armor penetration video guide for a visual reference:  https://www.youtube....zih83K2&index=3 Its more general information about penetration and the guide from Lert is more specific to the shell types.  Hope this helps!

DomoSapien:
A noble suggestion indeed, however please be advised that Wargaming-Branded prepaid cards can only be redeemed for in-game Gold. Unfortunately in this case that won't be of use to OP

DomoSapien:
Please contact our Customer Support team, they might be able to assist you with some kind of alternate way to purchase the Progetto. Not 100% sure however since these bundles in particular function differently than any we've sold before. Doesn't hurt to ask, though.
A viable alternative, however:  

DomoSapien:   While changes in federal law a few years ago affected the way most Prepaid cards work with international purchases (namely, they don't) and our Billing Entity coincides with our Corporate Headquarters in Nicosia, Cyprus... there is a potential workaround that may work for you.

I worked in Billing when I was in our CS Department, and this method has proven successful for quite a few players. I can't make any guarantees in this regard since I'm not 100% sure which card you'll purchase etc. but players have successfully completed Prepaid gift card purchases by loading them onto an Amazon payments account, then using the Amazon Payments account to complete their transaction. Since the card is being billed by Amazon, rather than by Wargaming directly, theoretically it should work with the card.

 

DomoSapien:   ​Certain Premium Shop items are restricted so that they can only be purchased using refundable payment methods. For example: usually this is the case if a bundle is available for purchase only once per account, since it's possible to have errors occur when using third-party prepaid methods. To prevent any nasty billing situations where you're locked out of completing your purchase, this restriction is in place.

Jambijon:   It sounds like you are progressing at a pretty good pace.  There's quite a lot of good feedback here so I'll share my general thinking when I go through this scenario.  When you go into an area where you assume will be some hidden tanks, it's always a good idea to be aware of the location of your spotters, as well as your own view range.  Like most said, after getting hit, find some cover, communicate with your team, or relocate.  Sometimes taking a "pot shot" at your hit marker can be worth it if you have no other targets.  But yes, it will all boil down to experience and tank knowledge.   Also including this helpful video.  It's a little old but the core mechanics have stayed the same: https://www.youtube....h?v=RMF82fz4kDk

Gnomon: Happy Thursday, everyone!  Hope you are all doing well! I wanted to make you aware that, as of today, the ST has two new prototypes of Grand Battle maps (minimaps shown below). We are continuing to work on new maps and locations, and we’re now ready to share some info on the two Grand Battle map tests. Two prototypes are of a new summer map in a Soviet setting, and they have now entered the Supertest phase. Both convey the atmosphere of the intense and desperate struggle against the Nazi invaders. The testing will help us choose which of the two variants to move forward with. 
These prototypes belong to the ‘mixed’ variety of maps, combining open spaces with city blocks and allowing every class to shine. There are plenty of places for maneuvering about, sniping, and brawling with your favorite well-armored vehicles.
The first prototype is aiming for classical ‘mixed’ map gameplay, where everyone can bring their best and contribute to their team's victory. The second prototype is more innovative due to its asymmetrical shape: the spawn locations are positioned in such a way that one team has to play aggressively, and the other one has to play more defensively and plan out their counterattacks. The testing will show which map version is more viable, fun to play, and worthy of being further developed. As always, please provide your feedback over both of these map variants here. Every bit helps!  All the luck in your battles and make sure to follow future news for these maps!  Version 1 Map Layout  Plain Map:

KRZYBooP: Most of my attempts have been in the Skorpion G, E25, M56 Scorpion, Krupp-Seytr Waffentrager, 8,8 cm Pak 43 Jadgdtiger, and the AMX canon D'assaut 105.  @simba90, @Panman69, @_Offset_ Thanks to the popularity of the Skorpion G I am usually sniped by one after firing at a heavy. Little back story on me. I am not a patient person. When one of my team goes down I tend to push up and try to help against whomever is spotted. This leaves me exposed and results in a target on my back.    @IcedBroom I am aware to back up after shooting but another thing I am lacking beyond a tier X TD is not having a TD crew with Sixth Sense to know when my camo is compromised. I cannot stress enough how much the TD playstyle is not the life for me. I have Waaaaaaayyyyy more fun with the T67 using its speed to be more like a light tank rather than a TD.    @SKurj I was able to complete the SPG missions with the LeFH18B2. I am sure you will enjoy my updates on the LT missions.    @_Offset_ YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD! I also enjoy the challenge of learning as I go. Hopefully it entertains you, and makes you wince while you cover your eyes just like when you check out the people of Wal-mart website.    Here is attempt 93     Enjoy a typical game for me. Notice that I was spotted by a tank that just appeared behind me. I suspect witchcraft.    Good luck out there.
