Developers posts on forum

MrVic: Yeah I have been enjoying the US tanks, new features. Maps are always great Learning to adjust lead distances and fun matches for sure

MrVic: Closing this thread. Poll makes little sense. Also this is being covered elsewhere.

Tanitha: I haven't noticed much difference really.
If anything i was wondering if it went up.

45k credits on a vk4502 is a bit more than usual. (And no it wasn't a double exp game)

merig00: Could you attach your dxdiag so devs could know what specs you have and also what map you were playing on at that moment.

ARGO: Hi,
Welcome to WoT Forums!!
Since you are unfamiliar with the forum, you may want to review the forum rules and also the thread located at the top of this newcomers section marked "Where do I post". As far as technical issues you would need to post in the technical section of this forum. I will place your thread there so it can be viewed.

Tanitha: I agree auto aim is worse now. But its the same for everyone, So, There's no problem. Its just incentive to use manual aim more which isn't a bad thing.

MrVic: They were minorly adjusted. Tho I think the cost for the panzer iv to Hummel is not updated.
I have not done a full recalc since before 5.5

ARGO: It reminds me of Leos entering the enemy base....

ARGO: Two awesome games, I play those as well.

Overlord:
I can't say that we were holding the update till this particular date, but we are obviously glad to have it released on 11/11.

ARGO: Whats funny about American accents is that there are quite a few. If you watch old hollywood war movies they steriotype Army men as all having a grumbly New Yorker accent, an Airforce man as having a Southwestern accent, and the Navy man as having a Boston accent much like John F. Kennedy.
But as far as WoT, I always laugh when I hear the tanker yell "I can't see them anymore!" because he sounds like he's about to start crying....

ARGO: I am happy to see the arrival of the American tanks. I am also proud to have it done on Veterans day, And even though it is only a game it really is great to met and befriend people all over the globe. But what I really am grateful and very much thankful to see is when I go online to play and see all the tanks of the world rolling together, playing together, as friends and not for real war. Having grown up in a post WW2/Vietnam era I must say as a world we have all certainly come a long way.
I salute all of you and look forward to honoring more tanks/peoples of different countries and some truly epic battles ahead.
Good hunting to you all!

merig00: just restart the Launcher - it will continue installing

Overlord: Typos, errors, suggestions on translation?

MrVic: Yeah the US tree is formated with a different offset. The old style was giving me a migraine

MrVic: Transition is exp to move unlock the next tank, Total exp is transition plus the cost of all the exp unlocks to that point.
OK.
M3 Stuart.
Transition exp: 4,535
Total exp to unlock: 825
Surely total exp has to be bigger than transition exp?
I've (quickly) checked the German and Russian and that's how they look.
Panzer III
Transition exp: 4,235
Total exp to unlock: 5,545
Yeah the US one was formated a bit different will see if I can adjust. I updated the earlier post above.

MrVic:

MrVic:

MrVic: Transition is exp to move unlock the next tank, Total exp is transition plus the cost of all the exp unlocks to that point.
example T-29 to T-32
Exp needed in the T-29 to unlock the T-32 119,100 (This is just to go from 0 exp to unlock within the T-29 Reasearch) exp, Total to Unlock 228,470 (This is total exp to the T-30)
Basically Ignore the grayed section unless your want a quick reference through a single tier.
Wanted to put a few multiple categories up so folks can see where they come from. Memoryreborn caught one math opps due to that

MrVic: Nice catch yeah had one of my formulas get borked when I was moving some data around Thanks

MrVic: Updated US Tech Tree Costs.

ARGO: i don't have to pay extra $ to stay near my friends in a coach
Hey, to each his own. You enjoy them cramped seats and stale peanuts, I'll think about you while I'm reclining in my full size chair after my second glass of wine I'm having with my prime rib......Oh yeah....They don't serve meals in coach.

ARGO:

merig00: you sure you can hire 5 extra players to make 20 if you already have 15?? i'm pretty sure 15 is max from what i read.. even if you hire mercs you can only use 15, when your deciding who to put int he room (in a training room style it seems) if you choose the merc or not thats your choice but its still 15.
thats what i understood anyway.
That's how I understood it originally too, hence the update comment. Devs are planning up to 20 players.

merig00:

ARGO: What more can be said,
Yes the talk is of Feb, but do you really want a rushed and half baked product?

ARGO: Star Blazers a.k.a Space Battleship Yamato
Big 0
Bleach
Inuyasha
Trigun
Cowboy bebop
Speed racer
Robotech
Bluegender
Deathnote
Dragonball/any

ARGO: Really... How much are you paying now?
The way it works is pretty straight forward, You get the game for free and you can play without gold but it takes a lot longer to move up the tiers or you can buy a premium account which allows you more choices and privelages much like first class section on a airplane. Remember also that the Developers, marketers, and employees of Wargames need to feed their families too.
So the only real question you should ask is....You want to fly first class or coach?

ARGO: If they are insulting you, take some screenshots and send them to support@worldoftanks.com and they will deal with them and rather quickly.
This topic is now closed......

ARGO: You will find that when your crew starts getting into the mid 90s the tank really starts to change in all facetts especially in gun accuracy. I always suggest gold spent on crew training is gold well spent.

ARGO: Sorry to spoil the fun but this topic needs to be closed, It is starting to attract spam....Argo66

ARGO: My favorite tactician: Scipio Afrikanis
War with Hannibal, the Battle of Zama
Hannibal did have a trained pool of soldiers who had fought in Italy, as well as eighty war elephants. Hannibal could boast a strength of 58,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry, compared to Scipio's 34,000 infantry and 8,700 cavalry. The two generals met on a plain between Carthage and Utica on October 19, 202 BC, at the Battle of Zama. Despite mutual admiration, negotiations foundered due largely to Roman distrust of the Carthaginians as a result of the Carthaginian attack on Saguntum, the breach of protocols which ended the First Punic War (known as Punic Faith), and a perceived breach in contemporary military etiquette, due to Hannibal's numerous ambushes.
Hannibal arranged his infantry in three phalangial lines designed to overlap the Roman lines. His strategy, so oft reliant upon subtle stratagems, was simple: a massive forward attack by the war elephants would create gaps in the Roman lines, which would be exploited by the infantry, supported by the cavalry.
Rather than arranging his forces in the traditional manipular lines, which put the hastati, principes, and triarii in succeeding lines parallel to the enemy's line, Scipio instead put the maniples in lines perpendicular to the enemy, a stratagem designed to counter the war elephants. When the Carthaginian elephants charged, they found well laid traps before the Roman position, and were greeted by Roman trumpeters which drove many back out of confusion and fear. In addition, many elephants were goaded harmlessly through the loose ranks by the velites and other skirmishers. Roman javelins were used to good effect, and the sharp traps caused further disorder among the elephants. Many of them were so distraught that they charged back into their own lines. The Roman infantry was greatly rattled by the elephants, but Massinissa's Numidian and Laelius' Roman cavalry began to drive the opposing cavalry off the field. Both cavalry commanders pursued their routing Carthaginian counterparts, leaving the Carthaginian and Roman infantries to engage one another. The resulting infantry clash was fierce and bloody, with neither side achieving local superiority. The Roman infantry had driven off the two front lines of the Carthaginian army and in the respite, took an opportunity to drink water. The Roman army was then drawn up in one long line (as opposed to the traditional three lines) in order to match the length of Hannibal's line. Scipio's army then marched towards Hannibal's veterans, who had not yet taken part in the battle. The final struggle was bitter, and only won when the allied cavalry rallied and returned to the battle field. Charging the rear of Hannibal's army, they caused what many historians have called the "Roman Cannae".

ARGO: I built a Dell E520 Pentium Dual core 3., 4 gigs onboard with a PNY Invidia 9400 GT turbo 1.gig card and I am 1st ingame 100% of the time. I am also running Verizon FIOS technology which has insane speed online too. I found that your choice in video cards can really make a difference as well as having no less than 4 gigs of mem onboard. I bought my video card with a gig of it's own memory to take the load off of the CPU and the results were amazing.

ARGO: Looks like someone at the Never Sweat Tank Track Company is gonna loose their job!
