View Postzed2204, on May 03 2016 - 11:50, said: As far as I have seen anything goes, so don't be discouraged, the point is to make a piece that the judges like and that is it, any medium and level of sophistication.
At the end this is a contest on a tank game forum not an art competition.
And please don't make this one like all the previous ones where 80% of the posts are people attacking the work of the 20% that actually did something

GhostPrime:   Correct!   Good luck, and May the 4th be with you!

Sobre os guias, acho extremamente válidos terem. Porém, vocês acham que os Guias deveriam ser produzidos pela própria WG ou seria legal também termos creator no fórum para contribuir com eles? 

Eu observei os concursos que são feitos no NA e acho bem bacana os Weekly Focus :) 
Não sei se para vocês é um concurso interessante. ^^

GhostPrime:   As others have said, it could be the filters you have set in your garage. Also, make sure you are using the correct game client. (Not the common test)  If you still have trouble finding the tank, please submit a ticket to support, they will be able to help you out.

I can understand they want to get rid of pref MM, but FFS give it at least premium credit earning. There's literally no reason to play it other then the crew XP multiplier. Yeah. Wow. GG WG.

veganzombiez:  

View PostCornish_Pirate, on May 03 2016 - 15:39, said: i cant understand why it shouldn't be a premium, the IS-5 is and  the only thing that is bad about that tank is that 1.5k people had to pay for it. I understand why they would not want to make t10 cw reward tanks non prem, but it seems like the only reason this one is not a prem is so you would have to play a prem tank to make money thus all 2k people would need to buy a prem tank, but i think we all already own one or ten....

veganzombiez:   Adding premium credit earnings for the Chieftain/T95 is being reviewed.  I wouldn't sell the tank yet.   As for their ETA, they should be given out by end of week.  IIRC, they'll just be directly credited to your game account.

If the vehicle of the battle room commander is destroyed, unused Reserves are returned to the corresponding structures and can be used in future battles (Guide).   The priority list on the Global Map is only used for the GM.  However, as Combat Reserves are currently disabled on the GM, the priority list doesn't do anything.

The_Chieftain: Bizarrely, it seems my most played non-ace vehicle is T92 (Official account), and it's my second-most played vehicle after M6A2E1 (Personal account)   Anyway....   Counting only my official account, 162 vehicles, of which 22 are Ace (47 1sts). Which seems low. In my defense, in only 19 vehicles have I had more than 100 battles, and in only 40 have I had more than 50. So, 1) T92 520 battles, 1st class only. And I guess I'm really not sure why. I play artillery differently to most folks, it probably just isn't working out for me. I probably need to review my T92 style a bit, ordinarily my arty win-rate seems higher than my average, but T92 is well below average. 2) The next seven vehicles are all Mastery, then comes the 113, in which I have apparently played 192 games. Far more than I thought. Given my stupidly low win rate of about 42%, I think the reason I have nothing higher than a 1st in it is most likely because I utterly suck at 113-ing (And the large game count is probably my desperately trying to figure out the tank). That said, I've heard it got a buff recently, so I've started to play it a bit more the last week or two. I likely still suck though, it doesn't really match my preferred comfortable style of play. 3) T95. This one surprised me, I only have a 1st after 180 games. I've a 57% win rate with the thing, I love it to death. I can only assume that there is great competition at the highest levels of T95ing, as, if you can make it work, it truly is a great vehicle.

The_Chieftain: Warning! The following is based purely on personal experience and speculation, and should not be considered a researched historical paper!A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing a WWII tank crewman for a Wargaming project; the first of the results just got released yesterday (The "War Has No Nation video). But one of the responses to a question I posed to him led me to thinking. As you could imagine, we got to the topic of 'meeting enemy tanks.' Understandably, he said that he was always concerned about meeting up with a Panzer IV or Panther because they had long 7.5cm guns that could destroy his Sherman. What I found interesting, however, was that he didn't seem to differentiate between the two vehicles in terms of how difficult they were to kill. What was important to him was whether or not they could kill him. And the reason he said he loved the Sherman was that it kept him safe from all the various nasties flying around in battle, namely bullets and artillery fragments. Nothing about the reliability, the speed or firepower -- just that he saw a lot of folks outside his tank killed by things from which he was protected.And after a bit of a think (yes, I do that on rare occasions), I realized I had a similar conclusion. When I was roaming around in Iraq, not once did I concern myself with how easy or difficult something may have been to kill; it was more a matter of "If I keep my head out of the hatch, will I get killed?" I had an issue since I had watched Patton: there's a scene in the movie where Patton is telling Bradley about imagining a bullet going right to his nose. So as I rode around, I kept imagining an AK round heading right for the bridge of my nose as I was at 'eyball defilade' (high enough that my eyes were outside the hatch).
I'm in a $2.6 million tank, one of the most lethal, best-protected killing machines on the planet. But had the opposition aimed about three inches higher, I'd have been ended by a 25-cent bullet. Death is no respecter of what the on-paper specifications say.But the bottom line, I think, is that one is usually far more concerned about one's own survival than anyone else's, especially if that 'anyone else' is someone you don't know a thing about.The other impression I got from Tom (the veteran in question) was that when the shooting started, he was either not worried, or varying shades of worried, depending on what was going on. He just did his job, shoving rounds into the breech as best he could. This also matches my experience. Though there was plenty of worrying (and time to worry) in the 99.99% of the time that nothing was going on, once the shooting started, one just got down to business.Ultimately, I only have my own personal experience to relate to. I don't think even interviews with the most eloquent of folks (not to say I'm not one of those) are going to be able to truly convey one's reactions in the moment.In my case, like (I think) many, my first exposure was indirect fire -- though as it was just a couple of mortar rounds, it was hardly a traumatic baptism. When it came to direct fire, probably the biggest problem in a tank is figuring out that you're being shot at in the first place. For me, it was a night encounter, and my first thought was not actually "Ohmygodtheyaretryingtokillme," but "Oh, hey, look at that. Tracers." Followed closely by "Huh. They're coming in my direction". And then, eventually, "Wait. They're shooting at me. I'd better duck." At which point, based on what my gunner later told me, he never saw the TC and loader get down into the turret as quickly as we did at that moment. "SCAN RIGHT!" was the first thing out of my mouth, and then it was just 'revert to training.' Initially, I think we took the whole 'getting shot at' thing rather personally, but we got over that after a few weeks. Of course, even after seeing the (small) elephant, we still had difficulty with the whole 'realizing you're under attack' thing. I recall one convoy where I was the lead vehicle -- I heard a pop, which didn't seem that bad, happened to look over my shoulder after a few seconds, and saw that the HMMWV behind us had come to a stop, the troops had gotten out and they were shooting in all four directions. "Umm, driver, stop for a second. Gunner, come left. Something's going on." To drive home the point: Tanks are blind.
First the truck blew up, then lots happened. Note the Bradley to the left, the tank and HMMWV are facing opposite directions, and for good measure, one of the Kiowas in the background was forced down. I saw almost none of it. I spent much of the engagement saying "I can't see anything to shoot at!"So where am I going with this?I guess it comes down to the matter of "Analyzing things externally." It is often said, "Ask a Sherman tanker if he would rather be in a Sherman or Panther, and see what they say." Besides questions like "If I'm a Panther tanker and my tank breaks down, does that mean I have to go into battle as an infantryman?," it does spur the counter-question of "Ask a Panther tanker if he would want to go into combat against Shermans?"
Did a Sherman do this? Do you think the crew cared?After all, we know that Armored Force lost some 1,500 tankers killed in the entire war. Plus some officers, clerks, etc. who weren't on Armored Force's books, but we're probably still looking at well under 2,500. I strongly doubt that the numbers of killed Panzertruppen is that low. I further suspect that, much as has been noted in the memoirs of aviators, the growing number of empty seats at the chow table probably had more of an effect upon their thinking than the mechanics of relative equipment capability or the results of any single engagement. I would wager that a German tanker who saw his friends get killed in combat with the Americans (or Soviets, or British or whoever) are going to be worried about going up against a Sherman. Not because the Sherman itself is particularly dangerous, but because the Sherman is used by the American Army, and the American Army, with all its components, is particularly dangerous.In other words, I think a lot of the discussion common on the web today is entirely missing the point. As the movie said, when the first round goes past your ear, politics goes out the window. Your primary motivation is survival. Arguing over whether a Sherman or M36 is more dangerous to you tomorrow is missing the woods for the trees, as you're really concerned about getting through to the end of the war next year, while an entire army is trying to kill you with everything it's got. If you're on the side that's winning at that time, you might feel better about your chances, but the worry will remain. But at that, that's when you're sitting in the rear, having chow. When the shooting starts, when you are having that significant emotional event, it comes down to 'do your job, your colleagues will do their jobs, and you'll come out OK in the end.' That's the mantra, and you don't stop to consider it until well after the fight is over. In fact, the event isn't all that significant, given you're probably not paying any attention to your emotions at the time. (Note: I had Pigeon of War review this article, and his experience matches mine. In his first engagement, even after the second truck in his convoy got blown up, he just went about his business and didn't really think about it.)Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter. As I said, this is purely my personal opinion and observation. It's entirely possible that those of you reading this who have also been on a two-way firing range felt nothing like I did, and were either scared witless during the fighting, or felt totally invulnerable from the moment you arrived in theater unitl the moment you left. But I would ask that folks stop with the 'projected emotions' as an argument. Emotions are just that. Not reasoned, not considered, just... feelings.

GhostPrime:   The Common test clients prioritize EU accounts over NA accounts. If you do not have the issue, then that's really good. Most people do have that issue however.   While, I'm not sure about a Mod, you will have to have both game clients to log into another sever region. The game clients are not connected.

Lert: @OP, you might want to read this. You speak of tank classes and roles as if they're set-in-stone rules that some tanks break, but that's the wrong way to think about it. Class classifcations are arbitrary. How they perform is what matters. As such there are heavily armored, slow light tanks, fast and agile unarmored heavies, fast TD's with turrets, etc. Adjust to what's in front of you, not to how you believe things 'should' funtion.
