Player Report - Player-submitted reports of unfair play submitted via the Support system will be looked at (include any evidence you have to support your claim). If there is enough evidence of unfair play, we will contact the clans involved to supply a replay file of the battle in question. Abuse of this system may result in punitive action. Random Review - Battles may be randomly chosen for review.  If an initial investigation warrants a full check, we will contact the clans involved to supply a replay file of the battle in question.   Who gets the replay request?

Pigeon_of_War:   Hey M00seface,    I actually looked into your issue a couple of times myself. They are working with the dev team to fix it. You issue is a unique one, and unfortunately it's taking some time, honestly it's taking more time than it should. Trust me, if this was a simple matter, we would have taken care of it within the same hour/day. No game studio wants unhappy players. Let me apologize for the length of time it's taken your issue, we are still working on it though.

Full news text

Lert:   And this is why unicorns don't like it, call it the worst tank in tier, etc. It is inflexible. Yeah it's good at defending, but the meta is mobility over defense, and if you're on a flank and the battle is on another, outside your sphere of influence, you're not going to be useful.   I still like it though. But then, I'm no unicorn.

Lert:   He's the one driving.

Lert: For a heavy with paper armor, T32 has pretty damn good armor.

Lert: [Content Removed. Inappropriate Image.]   That's why we're so successful. Look at that co-ordination. That teamwork. [Content removed. Inappropriate language.]   ~GM/Mod Teams

Lert: Communist brick is best brick. Hide your lower plate, sidescrape your hull, wiggle your turret and learn to love that long 107.

Lert:   An easily underestimated one. Your shiny 300mm pen APCR shell could have ~220 left over at 500 meters, but your 350 pen HEAT shell will still have 350.   Ofcourse, destructible walls, spaced armor and blades of grass detonate HEAT shells prematurely, but if you can land a shot on a relatively flat piece of armor, HEAT will go through at any range.

Lert: Despite its name, there is nothing explosive about HEAT shells, the way they work in this game. They do not splash, they do not have additional 'rays' to damage modules like HE and HESH have.   Their main advantage is that they don't lose pen over distance, like AP and APCR do.   Read this.

dance210:   Matches don't start until tomorrow at 5 pm PST. Bracket starts with 1/16, which is max. 32 teams.   Apologies to any who were confused :(

Lert:   This was just a rush strat for our last strongholds battle before the clanwars started.  

Lert:   Nothing wrong with my typing. Your reading comprehension, though ... You know, W = forward ... Moar W = moar forward = go fast ...

Lert: How about this:   Currently the hitpoints increase per tier is incredible, and it changes the meta of low tier play (seriously, compare a tier 1's DPM to its hitpoints) completely around (tier 10's have disproportionately more HP than DPM) ...   What if the HP increase per tier was slashed?     So a Loltraktor would still have 130 hp, but a KV-2 would have like 500 instead of 860, a Tiger would have like 900 instead of 1500 and a Maus would have like 1700 instead of 3000.   Relative hitpoints in-tier would still be the same, but the hitpoint escalation would be a lot less, thus making low tier tanks in any match proportionately more dangerous. Higher tier tanks already have better guns, DPM and (often) armor, why also the HP by such a proportion?

Lert: Part of me can see the validity in OP's post. The hitpoints variances are just very, very big. If there were less of a variance in HP per tier, it would be a more equal playing field, for better or for worse.

Lert: Tier 6 stronks. Only a few minutes before the first CW battle pops for the night, so our caller asks for tonks with as much W as we can bring. Time for another IOC yolo strat.   The answer? Use W. And if that don't work? Use more W.

Lert:   That's what Garbad argues as well. The difference between a red and a green is tank driving skills and mechanics knowledge. The difference between a green and a purple is battle flow, location, meta.

Lert:   Not sure what good that would do you ... You're already a far better player than the target audience of my guides, and myself as well. They're meant to help reds ascend to greendom, not for blues. I do appreciate the sentiment, though.   Seems to me that what separates a blue from a purple is mostly to do with meta, rather than actual tank driving skillz. Wotlabs forum might be able to help you out.

Lert:   No it isn't.   @OP: It's wargaming.   As for the problem - it's 95% likely a local PC issue. Are your drivers up to date? Is your windows relatively unclogged and your registry relatively clean? Are any anti-virus programs biting WoT?

Lert:  

Lert:  

Lert:   Why do you guys all ignore the "That's not entirely reliable" bit I also put in there? I mean, come on ....   If 75% of the people who earn the referral tank do so with a 'friend' that has the same IP address / worldly location as them, that should raise some alarm bells. It's more an overall indication than reliable for a case-by-case basis.

Lert:   And that's part of the problem.   Two friends I invited reached their first tier 10 ... two years ago. Why did they wait 4 years to add a referral / reward system?

Lert:   1) Yes it is, because 'gold' ammo can be bought for credits, and credits are free to come by. 2) Which medium? There are many mediums in the game. They all have their advantages and disadvantages, and if you don't tell us which medium you mean, we can't give direct tips, now can we. 3) There is so much wrong with that that I can't even begin to go over it. So many wrongful expectations.   I gave you attitude, yes. Because your first post is nothing but a whine, with sass and attitude. You didn't come here for tips and help, you came here to vent and whine. We don't need whiners here.   As for me being a community contributor and not having contributed to the thread - well duh - I'm a community contributor, not a thread contributor.   What did I contribute to the community? Click the link in my sig, as I have suggested to you earlier on. Just do it. I'll wait.   See that?   Guides.   Dozens and dozens of guides.   Written specifically for new players. Like you.   READ THEM. At least the first few, you know, the basic ones.   They are written from the view point of someone with 4+ years of experience in this game, who has learned how to make tier 3's matter in a tier 5 game.   Tell you what - if you are so convinced that you can just broadly wipe away anything I say and continue on with your attitude, then I'm going to give you a challenge.   Name me a tank. Any tank, that you have. I'll buy it. And we'll both run 50 games in it. 75% crew, no premium ammunition, no equipment, only the small consumables. After that we'll compare performance. And the loser gets to listen to the winner and stop giving sass and attitude. Sound good?

dance210: If he was driving in front of you, he was most likely griefing you, trying to get you to shoot him.   You were banned because you did enough damage to an ally. NEVER shoot an ally. If someone griefs you like that, hold your fire until leaves. Also, feel free to submit a Support ticket with the replay (https://na.wargaming.net/support/).   And remember, safety first on the internet. I would suggest not making private information publicly available (e.g. phone number, email, etc).

dance210:   Yep! That's what this tournament is for...it's daily, so you can sign up for as many or as few as you want each week :)   Also, please feel free to go here to find the links for each tournament page, as registration opens.

Lert:   WG can see the IP addresses people are connecting from. Ofcourse that's not entirely reliable, but still ...

Lert: With the current referral reward tank on the line, I know many people are creating alt accounts and grinding them to tier 10 just to get the reward tank, after which they'll never play that alt account again. Or use it to sockpuppet for clan wars.   This is not only against WG TOS (only one active account allowed) but IMO also against the spirit of the referral system. It is intended to help bring more players in, not for people to create new alt accounts.   On the other hand, one might argue that this alt account grinding does serve to put population on the server for the duration of the grinding.   Should this be allowed to happen? Or should something be done about this?

Lert: So then, open it again.

Lert:   In a direct, face-to-face 1v1, no. That's why you don't face-to-face 1v1 a tier Y+2 when you're in a tier Y. The only tier 3 I found woefully undergunned vs tier 5's is the Pz I C. And even then, there are plenty of tier 5's you can damage, albeit at close range.   @OP: You've played 210 games. You know nothing. The moment you admit that, you can open yourself to learning. Click the link in my sig, it leads to my guides specifically for new players like yourself who are trying to learn.   That is, you do want to learn, right? You didn't just make this thread to whine, did you?
