GeneralDirection: We need one more tank company.

Tanitha: There's currently 3 companies formed, on the public test server II.
Come and join us if you wish

GeneralDirection: Doing final checks now. Should be posted before 12PM PST.

GeneralDirection:

GeneralDirection: Ah. The team should not have been accepted; the name is inappropriate.

GeneralDirection: What team were you a member of?

GeneralDirection: Yes, Thanksgiving Day in Canada is the second Monday of October.

GeneralDirection: We were able to get the issue fixed and the round will be scheduled as normal.

Vallter: OK. To clarify this I need to explain a bit, what is 'ready' in my opinion.
M103 has been already designed, it's screenshots were leaked dozens of times and can be easily found throughout the forums.
M103 received it's characteristics and was added to internal Test.
But I can't state that the vehicle is ready, if it has not passed the Super- and Common Tests. Because it's characteristics can receive major changes basing on player's feedback and statistics gathered. Like it happened with E-serie on the Common Test.
So the only answer available for me right now is the word 'different'. M103 will be different. That's all I can state.
Some days before the Common Test, after a big period of SuperTest, I normally allow myself to state that the vehicle is more or less ready and give probabilities whether the characteristics will change or not. That's all.
I hope that after this explanation you will understand my answer: 'It's not ready yet and should be tested first'.

Vallter: We are constantly working on interface improvement and consider different variants, including the one you added. But it has lower priority than other features (new gave modes,for example).
Also, suggestions are situated in specific forum section, we are constantly looking through it and you can leave your proposals there.

GeneralDirection: The first round will be scheduled in the morning. It will start at 6PM PST (9PM EST).

GeneralDirection: <3
If only we had more support on the hill!

GeneralDirection: We actually thought about this, and taking it to another level: a "Kill the Courier" event, but called Turkey Hunt instead... with special tanks that look like a turkey. Unfortunately we were entrenched in finishing touches for 7.0 when this idea came around, so maybe next time.

Tanitha: Thanks, So not a bug. : )

GeneralDirection: This type of event will require some development work to be viable, but it's definitely something we're considering.

GeneralDirection: Thank you, B_Wilco and Hawat. I'll make sure to pass on your compliments to the art team.

GeneralDirection: Absolutely! We're finalizing the details for the special now, and will have all the info for you within the next day or so.

GeneralDirection:

ARGO: Have you ever tried to be an arty? Sure they hit hard, but they also pop like grapes pretty quick if the enemy tanks get to them. With an arty, your taking a gamble, your gambling on two things....The map your tossed into and the team your playing with. I myself try all different units just to be open to all opinion. I am not saying your feeling are misplaced, I am saying you may want to look at both sides of the coin.

GeneralDirection: I can say that it's planned, but unfortunately can't give any specifics.

Tanitha: The clan names are permitted.
In future please report possible violations to support, not the forums.
Its also not a suggestion.
Closing the thread.

GeneralDirection: Nyx has been a member of the CM team for about a month now, but spends the majority of the day focusing on social media.

Tanitha: Since they appear to all be small issues with 6.7 maps and not related to the 7.0 patch. Please post them separately (per map) into the map discussion section of the forums.
Thanks.

Tanitha: There is a different thread for that issue.
Closing this thread which is resolved.

GeneralDirection: You read that right! Just don't go biting the tanks -- unless you have good dental insurance, that is.
They may look plump, but I don't think they'll be as juicy as a turkey.

Tanitha: Any more info on this one please? + Screenshots?
Thanks.

Tanitha: Thanks, I'll report it through.

Tanitha: The above seems very hit and miss, is there any further info on this situation please?
Thanks.

Tanitha: These sort of issues happen every patch when players install old and now incompatible player made mod's.
Please test this with a clean, Russian client with no mods installed.
Thanks.

GeneralDirection: Registration has not been "closed" and the first round isn't scheduled yet so changes can still be made, yes.

Tanitha: I wont list it as a 7.0 bug, since its the same turning speed as its always been.

GeneralDirection: For this particular special we wanted to get as many tank types involved. Generally we'll be following a progression path though -- especially when we offer 50% off and double credits.
So for example (completely hypothetical here), if we were to put together an American Heavy special, it might look something like this:
T1 Heavy -> M6 -> T29
Or for a Russian Medium special it might be:
A-20 -> T-34 -> T-34-85

Tanitha: 1. Anyone else with this problem?
2. How well do you speak Russian? Might be safer if i let the Russian testers report on this topic.
3. Sounds like a improvement, not having to zoom in at the start of each game.
Thanks.

GeneralDirection: We had to keep it to six tanks for this special, for reasons you'll see this weekend.
With that in mind, I wanted to try to get two TDs, two SPGs and two tanks of some sort involved. Plus the Jumbo hadn't been used in a special since its introduction, so it was due.

GeneralDirection: The goal is to provide a double credit bonus to as many tanks as possible. We can't do it all at once (for game design reasons), so I have a spreadsheet tracking the frequency of each specific tank used in a special like this. If you don't see a tank you own this time, there's a chance you'll see it next special. Especially in tiers 4-7.

GeneralDirection: Hmm... unlikely.

Tanitha: Any more details, screenshots or information on this topic?
The thread and information is very thin at the moment.
Thanks.

Tanitha: Hi.. Is there any screenshots? or further reports for this?
At the moment there is only one comment from one player.
Thanks.

GeneralDirection: There are no current plans to have across-the-board bonus credit specials, at least not as significant as double income.

Tanitha: Thanks, will send it off to the Dev team.

GeneralDirection: It wasn't a random selection, I actually picked all tanks you don't own just to spite you. Out of all the players who play the game. For no random reason!
