Saffr0n: Hello Tankers!   We just released Update 9.14 by improving vehicle movement physics, which will change the way tanks maneuver through battle. The game sounds are more robust than from previous updates. Hop onto the World of Tanks web portal where you can find the 9.14 Update Notes to see what else we've been working on.    Visual representation of these changes can also be found here   Let us know what you think. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

The_Chieftain:   I'm afraid to say I've seen them all, I was not impressed. The blueprints were incomplete (I have the engine deck of T34 but not much else, for example), or too big to fit in their scanner so I had to take photographs and composite. The T26E3 plans were the most complete, and they did have plans for the improved turret for the M4A3E2 which would have been used had they restarted production in early 1945 as was being contemplated.   On related matters, finding usable photos of the T101 pilots (M56 SPAT) is proving very difficult. DTIC's ones are terrible quality.

Lert: Huh. did they change that since I last looked at it? Which, admittedly, is a while back ...

dance210:   Map will still be Sand River

dance210: Champion qualifier Semi-finals will be at 1700 PT on Friday, March 11th. Unfortunately, there is no way for me to re-schedule the battle tonight.   There will be no Final match.

dance210: Alright. Skirmish battles for tonight are cancelled. I'm still not entirely sure what's wrong, so I will likely investigate it more tomorrow.   There will be no make-up round, because 9.14 is dropping tomorrow. Playoffs will begin on Friday as normal. Thanks!

dance210: Hey guys!   I found out there is an issue and I'm trying to figure out what happened. Hold tight for a few please and I'll let you know once I figured it out. Sorry!

The_Chieftain:     Only if it's being used in the heavy lift role. There are mounting points which can be used for stub wings on the CH-53's blisters. Of course, I've only seen drop tanks mounted there, and they are so short as to not add lift. Doesn't mean to say that one -couldn't- put wings there.   And besides, they can add lift for the transport role. Witness the Mi-6's wings, that's a heavy lift chopper. And even in the attack role, the stub wings add lift for the Hind.    

MeatheadMilitia: Thanks for your feedback  

I've gone back and changed the Lights contest rules to be:    In this timeframe, participate in at least 50 battles and earn a max base XP in a single battle. The top 5 tankers who have the highest base XP will be  awarded 1,000 Gold.   We will pull this data so no need to post a screenshot.   

GhostPrime:   You will need to run the game launcher in order to update the game client.    The game launcher is located in the World of tanks install folder on your C drive. (That's the default insatll location)    Please go to: C:/games/world_of_tanks (This is the main install folder.)   Then, find the file called: "WoTlauncher.exe" (It may just be called "Wotlauncher&quot   Double click on that file and it should open the game launcher and update the game.

GhostPrime: This is the World of Tanks PC forums. For those of you having trouble, what version of the game are you trying to access and what OS are you running?  Also, what server do you play on NA, or EU? 

dance210:   Hi!   On Friday at 1800 PT (Group Stage Round 1), there will be a maximum of 9 battles. Each of those battles will be played on one map.   On Saturday at 1500 PT (Group Stage Round 2), there will be a maximum of 9 battles. Each of those battles will be played on one map.   On Saturday at 1800 PT (Group Stage Round 3), there will be a maximum of 9 battles. Each of those battles will be played on one map.   Across the three days, there will be five group stage rounds. Each round (max of 9 battles per round) will be played on one map.   Does that make sense?

dance210: It seems as though this new system doesn't allow registration to continue after the tournament has started, even if it says registration doesn't end until Thursday. This is something that we didn't realize would happen, so we will have to adjust things going forward.   For Skirmish X, registration will close Monday morning for both weeklong and weekend registrations, out of necessity. However, for both Skirmish IX and Skirmish X, any weekend teams can send an email to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com to request roster additions/deletions or to ask us to submit the team. Teams can send any requests for Skirmish IX until 8 am PT on Friday.   If there are any questions, let me know!

GhostPrime:   No, that's a minimum participation. 

dance210: If the captain needs to be changed, you can always send an email to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com or send me a forum PM with what change needs to be made. I will also pass this suggestion on to the devs.   No. Unfortunately, we use tools in ways that they were never intended. One of the....side effects that we weren't aware of is that once the tournament starts, teams can no longer get to the registration page, even if registration is still open. So for now, registration will have to be closed on Sunday. If teams want to make changes or submit their team between Sunday and Thursday, they can send in an email to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com and I will be more than happy to help.   The long term solution may be to separate the weekend playoffs from the Skirmish, and form their own tournament. Or, to make a different tournament that only runs Fri-Sat-Sun (or even Sat-Sun).  

dance210: Yes, you can bring five of any tank type, as long as it is at or below 20 tier points. If there are any restrictions, it will be under "Additional Information" and/or in the Regulations section.  

dance210: 1. I'm trying to see if a search bar can be added to make finding teams easier. Barring that, I would suggest trying to get a link to the team page for now 2. What do you mean? 3. I've already asked if there is a way to tone down the notifications. They are sending out one before every battle. For the group stage, that means 7 notifications per round.  

dance210: Hi! Welcome to tournaments and I hope you have fun in the March Madness!!   1. There are specific times to play. The schedule for you, directly from the tournament page Friday, March 18th - 1800PT Saturday, March 19th - 1500 PT Saturday March 19th - 1800 PT Sunday March 20th - 1500 PT Sunday March 20th - 1800 PT   2. Each day/time is a separate group stage (also called round robin) round. That means that there is one round on Friday, two rounds on Saturday and two rounds on Sunday. Each round has a maximum of 9 battles. Battles last for a maximum of 10 minutes. Within a round, battles start every 10 minutes.   So, taking Friday, March 18th - 1800 PT as an example, the battles will start as follows: 1800 PT 1810 PT 1820 PT 1830 PT 1840 PT 1850 PT 1900 PT 1910 PT 1920 PT   3. Each group stage round will be played on one map. Special battles will pop up in game 10 minutes before the battle actually starts. There is also ~3 minutes between battles, assuming the game goes the full 7 minutes. So, there should be plenty of time to change line-ups and go over strats between battles   4. I'm going to let the players answer this one. IMO, the line-up depends on the map. A map like Ensk would lean towards a heavier, brawling line-up while an open map like Prokhorovkha may benefit from more medium/light tanks.   5. When you load in, you will see what tanks the enemy team is bringing. However, just like a regular random battle, the actual tank won't be visible until someone on your team spots them.   Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions!!

dance210: 1. It's a new system that was just introduced, so there will be adjustments to it as we move forward. Even when we were testing the new system, I requested player feedback. I am continuing to send this feedback up the chain, to get some changes made. 2. I've already requested that the devs add back the search bar. Thanks for your extremely intelligent, polite and well-thought out comments... 3. The forum discussion is for the benefit of the players, so they can talk to each other. If you don't like it, I can very easily remove the discussion from all future tournaments.   As I can't see this thread going any further from here, I'm closing it. Have a wonderful day

The_Chieftain: Speaking of...   Oddly, it seems there will be a part 3 to this. It turned out that as I was trawling my hard drive for something else yesterday, I came across the results of the troop trials down in Hood. They also mentioned several of the issues noted by Ft Knox.

The_Chieftain: The configuration of Maresal indicates it may have done some things better than Jagdpanzer 38(t)....   Good to hear about Austin. I hope to make it. (I did the inaugural Indianapolis, and haven't made a USGP since)

GhostPrime: Please see here for the information you seek about the update.  

GhostPrime: Hello Tankers!  We will be performing server maintenance on Thursday March 10th, 2016 for the release of Update 9.14Maintenance will begin 12:00AM PT (08:00 UTC) and will last approximately five and a half (5 ½ hours.During this time, the World of Tanks servers will be unavailable. An overview of the changes can be found here:Patch Notes    

Saffr0n: Game Features Improved Vehicle Movement Physics Introduced a new server model for vehicle movement, as well as for collisions of vehicles with various surfaces, objects, and other vehicles. Added new types of maneuvers, as well as modifications to vehicle control and behavior. Added new visual effects for vehicle movement and traverse (skidding, sliding). Reworked the behavior of vehicles when ramming or colliding with other vehicles. Implemented the mechanics for turning vehicles over. Improved Sound Replaced the current FMOD sound engine with Audiokinetic Wwise. This allows to process sounds on a separate core, which improves the performance of multi-core hardware systems practically on all configurations. Reworked the sounds of the basic subsystems: The sounds of gun shots both inside and outside of vehicle turrets; the current system of calibers has been kept. The sounds of loading guns. The sound corresponds to a particular caliber and depends on type of loading system: manual or automatic (magazine loading systems). The sound of shell penetration. Now players can not only identify the caliber of the penetrating shell (or penetration type), but also identify how much damage such penetrations caused to their vehicles. Reworked the sounds of tracers. Reworked the sounds of vehicle destruction. Fully reworked the sound of vehicle engines. Fully reworked the sounds of tracks, transmissions; the sounds of interaction with various types of surfaces. Reworked and re-implemented the special sound upon causing a critical hit. It presents a sound notification about causing the critical damage to enemy vehicles. Implemented the sound for the Sixth Sense "bulb". Implemented the sound notifications about damaged modules (observation device, turret, fuel tanks, radio, ammo rack). Implemented the sounds for basic consumables (First Aid Kit, Repair Kit, Fire Extinguisher). Implemented the sound presets for playing with different sound systems and at different time of day.
General Features Added the list of goal-setting missions (Combat Maneuvers) to the Recruit Training tab (for players in Tier IV-V vehicles). Reduced the number of modules for low-tier vehicles (to facilitate the research process).   Improved the system of filters and tooltips for storing and activating Personal Reserves. Clan profile: added clan search to the Stronghold tab. Improved the visual component. Improved the display settings for loading screens. Now players can select the following settings:
- old style of loading screen—teams are displayed in one table
- loading screen with the minimap
- loading screen with tips Added Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Kazakh localizations. Added a short name of a player's vehicle with the vehicle type icon to the list of teams (TAB screen). The information about the player's currently selected vehicle is displayed in the list of teams (TAB screen) until this player respawns in another vehicle. When all player's vehicles are destroyed in a battle with a limited number of respawns, the information about the last destroyed vehicle is displayed. Added the display of the following characteristics on the minimap:
- Current view range of a vehicle
- Maximum spotting range
- Vehicle draw range Vehicles Reworked 24 vehicles for HD quality:
M44, M53/M55, T20, T40, T1 Heavy Tank, T28 Prototype
E 25, Pz.Kpfw. T 25, G.W. Tiger, Nashorn, VK 30.01 (H), VK 72.01 (K)
IS-6, MS-1, A-20
105 leFH18B2, AMX 50 Foch (155)
AT 15, Crusader, Sexton II
Type 3 Chi-Nu, Type 97 Chi-Ha, Type 5 Ke-Ho, Chi-Ni Improved the visual and collision models of the following vehicles:  SU-100, IS, M4 Sherman, Centurion Mk. 7/1 Improved the collision models of the following vehicles: T29, T30, T34 Added the Improved Ventilation equipment for the T28 Prototype. The vehicle's turret top now has a roof. Changed the crew configuration of the T95E2 to make it compliant with the M48A1 Patton's crew configuration. Added the missing tooltip for Czechoslovakian nation in the Tech Tree screen. Maps Added the Ravaged Capital map to the Rampage mode. Reworked the Sacred Valley map. Improved the following maps for compliance with the Improved Vehicle Movement Physics: Mountain Pass, Abbey, Swamp, Redshire, Airfield, Mines, Arctic Region, Serene Coast, Lakeville, Steppes. Technical Improvements  Fixed some issues with customization. Improved interfaces, added conditions for applying customization elements to vehicles (completion of Personal Missions). Implemented the ability to disable voice chat (by pressing Alt+Q). Added the ability to change the key combinations in the settings. Improved the interface of the cart when purchasing customization elements. Implemented the ability to view customization elements grouped by types (camouflage, emblems, inscriptions) in the Confirm Purchase window. Implemented the ability to exchange currency (gold/credits) in the Confirm Purchase window. Fixed the issue of bad links for ASIA and KR localizations in the miniclient.   Improved camera performance when zooming to objects. Missions in the Combat Maneuvers section will be available for players who registered in the game after the release of version 0.9.10 and who have completed the "Further Research" mission in Recruit Training. Previously, these missions were available for those players who had fought fewer than 50 battles before version 0.9.10 was released.  Fixed the issue where battle results could be missing in the Notification Center. Fixed the issues where a declined invitation to a Dynamic Platoon could keep appearing in the Garage. Fixed some minor issues with interface.  

GhostPrime:   We are aware of this issue. I do ask that you send in a ticket with a dxdiag attached and no mods installed (For the sake of troubleshooting and gathering information) You can re-install them after.   I have tried to get this issue to occur without luck. I still an trying as well. Thank you everyone.
