I've always been a PC player, I hate the XBOX controller. SC is nice because of the touch-pads.   Plus, I'm lounging on my sofa playing.

yourtankmojo, on May 02 2017 - 15:41, said: Hi dance. Is there a way to know if you got a submission or not (like a confirmation email)? My daughter did an entry that she made out of cardboard. It looks like you guys already picked winners for the su100y, but I want to confirm before I have to break any bad news to her. Thanks and take care. Oh, and I saw you in battle a while back but I died right away, so I don't know how things went... lol

SparkleFunHorse, on May 09 2017 - 09:56, said: I hope this feedback helps: please allow access to the CT servers.Since yesterday afternoon, it has been impossible to do so. Or is this a 'ban NA players, only RU players will be allowed?' I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case...


Steel_Warrior63, on May 09 2017 - 11:46, said: yes there is a ban for all of us that have been stuck in battle queue from NA. there has been no fix here and this is day 4. it is time to flood (dance210) in box with complaints that nothing is getting done to fix this major issue of being stuck in queue. he is the administrator to this post so ready aim fire we need to blast him into fixing this issue ASAP!!!!!!

kupjones, on May 08 2017 - 14:04, said:   Dance, I do appreciate what you have done here.  I have now opened I think 6 - 8 support tickets and provided all of the requested information, over and over.  Today I received an answer from Kyle Fisher where he basically says that the PingPlotter output shows latency to be introduced by 2 Internet backbone providers (I have no idea where he sees this as the 2 he points out are running 27 and 57ms, respectively), that I need to talk to my ISP, and he wanted to make sure I knew my PC isn't directly connected to the NA EAST servers.  Hmmmm.   My reply was rather curt -- but the message still the same:  The latency that my plotter output shows is being introduced by the last leg of the network right before the NA EAST load balancer (login-p1)  That device is using an IP address right out of WG's Internet provider IP block, making this directly under the control of WG.  What is striking is that device mysteriously disappeared from the path a couple of weeks ago for about 24 hours -- then re-appeared.    I could start taking big guesses as to what that device is doing - but I would rather not.   Whatever it is doing, WG needs to put something in place that has more ummmph.  (that is a technical term, btw)   Ummm, this isn't considered ban speech, is it??

flowerpower210, on May 08 2017 - 12:41, said: Hi! I hate my Kanonen. Comparatively to the other tank destroyers, it has bad penetration, atrocious alpha and a half-decent accuracy. The damage per minute is nothing special either.   I would like to exchange it for gold, but I can't?  Why? Nobody knows. WarGaming decided that the KanPz couldn't be exchanged.   A player told me that they have ''plans'' for it. Anyone know what he's talking about? I see nothing in the 9.19 patch & it would have to be pretty  major to make this piece of garbage worth playing.

Subject: Tank Rewards Missions.
Link on message: #10966000

korzald, on May 05 2017 - 07:59, said: First I like the idea of Tank Reward missions every month.    But you must stay away from setting missions to restrictive.    You have given missions for very certain vehicles only ( In my case and I am sure I am not alone). I will have to go back and purchase them so I can do the missions. It needs to be more general like in an american tank do X. It could also have a larger range going from say 5-8 but staying in only 5-6 tier is very restrictive and having it be down to only 4 vehicles.....   Next you have to kill German tanks...but with the above mission tank types..your looking for only tier 5-6 you will get some 7's and 8's but as above it is to restrictive. It should be kill x German tanks. Some of the most popular German tanks are higher tier so you see them more often.    I could even see restricting it to Kill German tanks while in an American tank. Or even better two missions. Kill 5 German tanks while in an American tank or Kill 5 American tanks while in a German tank. This makes it so more people are out in those tanks to get the missions done.    The trick to good mission writing is to think of the executions and how hard those conditions can be. Right now more people will be out in thunder bolts so less other national tanks will be out. Also with the restrictions on tanks for missions more american will be out so less other nations.    In the future please write your missions with less restrictions, increase the number requirements ( if your looking for more difficulty) and think on how hard it will be to meet the conditions when you announce the missions as well.    This is just very poor mission writing.

Biggensak, on May 01 2017 - 14:25, said: I'm on a solid 100/20 broadband connection wired to my desktop PC (which easily sustains 100+ FPS in the game, no mods loaded) and have been running Pingplotter traces to your NAe and NAw servers for a few days to figure out why I'm seeing constant lag spikes/server sync issues with this game and not others.  There's certainly a problem hop on both routes that seems related to your network provider of choice (TATA) or data center hosting provider (G-Core) within the same region both of your game server clusters are being hosted.   West coast, as soon as I hit if-ae-29-2.tcore2.SQN-San-Jose.as6453.net (64.86.21.104) on the way to your San Jose, CA hosting facility I start seeing 11-12% sustained packet loss and consistent additional latency the rest of the way to your game server.   East coast, as soon as I hit if-ae-14-14.thar2.NJY-Newark.as6453.net (66.198.111.8) on the way to your Ashburn, VA hosting facility I start seeing 11-13% sustained packet loss and consistent additional latency the rest of the way to your game server.   It's certainly possible you were having other server/sync issues that were fixed with whatever server side patches you rolled out in 9.17/9.18, but it seems that concurrently you've got a serious issue with the network services and/or hosting providers you are using that has nothing to do with the game servers themselves.   You can patch/fix/optimize servers all day long, but if the routes your clients take to and from these servers is fundamentally broken because the provider you've chosen is doing a lousy job it's not going to fix the problem.     You guys really need to pull out your contracts with TATA and get to work on figuring out the financial damages/contract termination options you have to enforce what should be pretty standard SLA's in a properly written network services agreement.  This sort of garbage shouldn't fly with a reputable network provider, and their failure seems to be negatively impacting your reputation and the willingness of your clients to purchase your "for-pay" elements like premium time until the issue is resolved.  


kupjones, on May 04 2017 - 23:10, said: To whomever at WG cares to listen: I've opened numerous tickets and finally had to do some troubleshooting on my own.  For the NA EAST server, latency (or "lag" to the uninitiated)  is being introduced by a network device that is addressed out of the IP block that is controlled by WG.  The network device that is now uniformly introducing 20 - 30ms of latency is 92.223.118.170 and there is no reverse entry for this device.   Note that this device is NOT between me and my carrier nor is it before the Cogent backbone.  That device is operated by G-Core Labs and it is this bunch that happens to be the Service Provider for Worldoftanks NA, Worldoftanks EU and I believe Worldoftanks RU.   G-Core Labs "owns" the 92.223 IP block and since they are the ISP that WG uses for WOT -- it would seem to make sense that WarGaming can demand that G-Core Labs fix their gear.   I would attach PingPlotter output but a 39kb graphic is too big!!   PingPlotter shows (take my word for it) that the offending device is a G-Core Labs owned device that is creating all of the havoc -- and this has been going on for weeks now.  It really makes one wonder -- how can a Service Provider operate network gear that, as a standard practice, introduces AN AVERAGE of 20-30ms of latency?   So, anyone from WG listening?
