lord_farquad: For future reference, if the bracket says something different than the schedule, it is probably a scheduling error, which means the brackets are wrong. If that happens please let me know so I can fix the times (and thank you to those who did PM me!).

lord_farquad: I recommend PMing Gaea as she handles contests and events.

Gaea: For those that did not receive their total amount of earned gold, I have made a special task to check all the disbursements to be sure you all got the gold you deserve! so please be patient, you will definitely all get what you earned.

lord_farquad: As with all Challenges, it's limited to 5 members max per battle. There are no tier limit reductions for fielding fewer members, that is currently only in Ural Steel tournaments. As always please make sure o read the tournament page on the portal for full details.

GeneralDirection: It's primarily a concern with how speeds above 72kph will affect network code. There are a lot of potential rubberbanding situations.

GeneralDirection: Back from QuakeCon, so I'll answer any outstanding questions since my last post.
Closing thread, as per the new format for Q&A. The new thread is here.

GeneralDirection: In this thread you can ask us anything about World of Tanks and its development. We cannot promise an answer, but in those cases we will still respond to the question and state that an answer is not available.
In some cases, it might take a bit of time to get an answer to a question. When those cases arise, we will quote the question and state that we're in the process of getting the answer.
This thread is for post-7.5 era, and will be closed with the release of version 8.0. Questions should be related to anything affecting the live game or future developments.
Past Q&A threads can be found in the You Ask, We Reply section.

GeneralDirection: It's not correct. It should be 10am UTC.

GeneralDirection: Um, yes there is effort. First lord_farquad must compile the spreadsheet for all teams that get gold, then a request must be sent to our billing department for payment. Once billing receives it, one of three people have the ability to credit gold, of which there is generally one person at any given time. These are the same people who also process account and billing-related support tickets.
Once the task is started, each account from the list is credited gold individually.
There's no magic "make gold" button that automagically reads lod_farquad's mind and dispenses to the appropriate people.

lord_farquad: Sorry, I meant "more accurate" ...as the 88 is more accurate than the 105

GeneralDirection: The Ante prize would actually be far lower than it is if we stuck to the policy of basing it on the competition pool. But yes, it's not going to be the same prize pool if it's a smaller tournament.

lord_farquad: They are only .01 different, not to mention with a slight difference in crew skill it could easily seem the 105 is more accurate than the 88
