unskinned version (the obj 252U)? Thanks KRZYBooP: This is something that is usually done when the un-skinned tank is
released. However, I am pretty sure that this tank had both release
at the same time. Our support team has done reversals in the past
and if you would like to reach out to support click HERE.

have mentioned you can earn much more with Clan Wars, Front line,
or Steel Hunter.

Jambijon: The Swedish Mediums (Tier 8-10) catch fire quite a bit from what I
noticed. Especially since the engines are generally mounted
in the front.

frustrations I am having. I'm still very new here (around ~325
battles) and am just looking for some advice to guide me on the
right track. First thing and biggest thing is any good
resources for map tactics. My biggest frustration is I just never
know where to go now that I have hit the bigger maps outside of
tiers 1-3. I'm settling into my PZ IV H and am basically following
the heavy tanks into battle every game. This can be a real crap
shoot if they also dont know where they are going. I just feel like
I am constantly caught in a bad spot on the map or in a bad overall
position. I'm having trouble finding reliable youtube sources
(seems like way too many highlight reels) and the one sight I found
with map tactics (I think it was wotguru) has been a little
helpful, but it seems outdated. I also don't have any friends that
play this game so I cant really get a good practice match going
yet. Second would be...I keep getting DESTROYED by artillery
it feels like. It's probably something I am doing wrong, but I'll
find myself in a good groove exchanging fire and supporting the
heavies and I just get blasted. Should I be moving and
repositioning? I understand that this is happening because I have
been spotted and they can see me, but I'm not seeing how to avoid
it when I dont have the room to be racing around avoiding artillery
blasts when I have other tanks barrelling down on me across the
way. Lastly, since the PZ IV H is probably something I am
going to sit on and learn the game in for awhile, does anyone have
some good info for it? I am running with the 10.5 derp gun.
Basically using peek a boom tactics. This seems to work fine until
I inevitably get over zealous and expose myself way too much (need
to learn some more patience). I also put a gun rammer, binoculars
and vents on it. My crew is at 100% and I am training my first set
of skills (6th sense, snap shot, smooth ride, situational awareness
and repairs on the loader). Thanks!

and seek. As a heavy tank, your job is to brawl other heavy tanks,
but some tanks tend to do that better. The PZ IV H has a lot of
flat surfaces and is kinda difficult to get that perfect 70-degree
auto bounce angle. As far as Arty goes you should be moving and
trying to find a rock/building to hide behind. Don't stay clumped
up with a bunch of fellow heavies since they are easy
targets. In case you haven't done so check out the
videos I posted HERE. They go over all the basics in detail and
explain many of the mechanics behind the ballistics our game engine
uses, and the Camo mechanics so you can learn to fire without being
seen. Another great resource is Tanks.gg It
offers a live view of how likely a tank will be able to pen your
tank with what round at and, at what angle. Click HEREto see the PZ IV H. If you would like more
live assistance please join our discord with the link in my

Question about accuracy

Dolfi, on Jan 21 2020 - 14:15, said: So, what is the point of having 0.29 accuracy on a gun, if I have a
68,34% hit ration on my STRV 103-0 and 81,08% on my T-10? I know, I
don't (usually) snipe in the T-10 (but when I do, I do it with
decent results), but even so, what is the point of a sniper that
completely misses 3 shots out of 10, and will waste another 2, 3
maybe 4, because they will hit the tank, but miss the week spot, or
go too low and hit the tracks without pen etc etc? I have a BIA
crew, even used vents for a period and for the first 20 or 30 games
even used food, but then I choosed cammo net over vents and decided
that food is a vaste of money, the way things are going for me in
STRV.

Tanks are not always accurate.
The Shells wobble during flight and World of Tanks does its best to
stick with the real-world physics of a tank shooting another
tank.Not saying there is never going to be shot in-game that makes
you scream a naughty word and put a dollar in the swear jar. For
the most part though, you can only hope for a shot to land in that
weak spot you are aiming for, and the rock right next to it.

DeadMeat can figure out how to get in the Talent Show with the same

else who streams should sign up ezpz. Youre leaving money on
the table if you dont, and you dont have to be a Purplecorn

bad...but making an effort and having personality are the sort of
depth of character that make a person appealing notwithstanding

There are invite codes that come with rentals, bonus codes that come with rentals, targeted promos for rentals that are sent out via email and offer rentals for vehicles that aren't currently available.
They are out there, not really something I have a reason to lie to you about - different projects utilize rentals to drive different types of player behavior, not always to immediately sell you the vehicle attached to the rental. I'm not familiar with the specifics of the alienware campaign but who knows, maybe selling you a tank isn't the main priority in this particular case.

explicado anteriormente): Esta es una prueba, la idea es
justamente recolectar datos para alterar valores si hace falta.
Veremos si hay que hacer ajustes adicionales una vez que estén en
el servidor real. Sobre tu idea, es interesante, pero habría
que evaluar su viabilidad en términos de cómo colisiona con el
resto de la economía del juego (sin contar que una cosa es perder
fragmentos que pueden obtenerse gratis y otra muy distinta es
perder dinero del juego que solo puede obtenerse comprándolo o en
determinados eventos monetizados). ¡Saludos!

I'm trying to find out if we can get screenshots of the new spawn locations, but as a general rule of thumb, spawns that are currently at a disadvantage are being moved closer to the action so that both teams arrive at main chokepoints more or less at the same time.

issue. The gun depression is a bonus but everything can
literally go through the turret with no problem. So even if
you have position on the enemy and using the full gun depression
they will still punish you and most likely win due to higher
dpm. This tank is in some desperate need of more

not be seen. The lack of armor is common across many turreted TDs
as they don't have to move to track and fire and enemies so they
have a better chance of keeping their camo value. May I
ask if you had the chance to check out some of our Mechanics

Several Questions About The Common Test Sever

Link on message: #12380782

DomoSapien: Here's how CT works:
Prior to each CT, a 'snapshot' of your account is taken, and that 'snapshot' is a copy of your current progress so all the vehicles you have on your account when the snapshot is generated.
Any and all actions made on your Common Test snapshot will not carry over to the main server. You get a bunch of gold and whatnot on the Common Test account so you can research whatever we're trying to test (in this case the tier 8, 9, 10 double barreled heavies) and some extra so you can research other stuff you might want to try out as well.
Generally you will struggle to find a low-tier match but 8-10 should pop just fine. Although you will likely be bottom tier a lot, when you queue for 8. Expect not to see a whole lot of english-language conversation since CT hosts players from all regions/countries, but it's playable and available to you as a great resource for trying out tanks at the top of lines you're thinking about grinding. There's not much worse than spending a whole bunch of time and effort grinding a tank only to find out that the Tier 10 is a lemon.

to increase the shell velocity. This makes it so you don't have to

Subject: EBR Rental From Alienware Promo
Link on message: #12380761
Link on message: #12380761
DomoSapien: Generally our rentals aren't offered as a way to buy vehicles
outside of their general sale periods, mostly just to give you a
taste of a particular playstyle and get you hyped for the next time
that tank is offered for sale.
So with that in mind, the likely answer is no, you will not be able to purchase the vehicle when your rental expires. You can use the expired rental for extra crew storage, and purchase the tank in the future when it's offered for sale again, but the rental itself won't allow you to buy it when it's not on sale otherwise.
The "purchase" button exists because there is an option on the backend that allows us to set a purchase price for a tank rental, but historically that option has never been used (to my knowledge, anyway.)

ELC EVEN 90 or T92

Subject: ELC EVEN 90 or T92
Link on message: #12380698
Link on message: #12380698
DomoSapien: Prior to the release of the wheeled line, I was enamored with the
EVEN 90 and the T92.
From my experience, they have a very similar playstyle but I think the EVEN 90 is a bit more competitive. The premium rounds on the EVEN 90 aren't bad, if you dump all 3 shots into someone's side you will do a nice little chunk of damage. The T92 is more of a sustained fire vehicle but both of them shine elsewhere: their guns are not their strong suits.
What these vehicles excel at, surpassed only by the EBR line in doing so, is hiding and running away. Both tanks are small, nimble, and low-profile passive scouts. The EVEN 90 has a Romulan cloaking device installed which gives it amazing camo rating - you pretty much need to get proxy spotted when you're parked in a bush. And when you do get spotted, you can run away quickly and evade quite a few shots purely due to the fact that your vehicle is tiny.
Overall, I would recommend the EVEN 90 over the T92, unless you particularly struggle with autoloaders or need a US LT trainer. I feel like it embodies more extremes whereas the T92 is less unique, more of a classic flex-scout.
Both aren't quite as competitive as they were before, due to the fact that an aggressive wheelie can proxy spot you while you bush camp, and there's nothing you can do to reliably stop it except run away. The HE on those things will eat your T92 and EVEN 90 for breakfast - so you can't play quite as aggro as before, but they are still fairly reliable.

DomoSapien: So unfortunately I don't have the actual spawn locations themselves
currently at my disposal, however:
The general purpose of the changes is to balance out spawns on Encounter maps that allow one side to reach critical locations on the map faster than the other. With that in mind, I suspect that the focus is on maps which have imbalanced win/loss stats based on which side of the map is closer to the action.

find a good place in the event plan to fit it in - Most of this is
pretty much Greek to me but my basic understanding is that Tech
Tree discounts are difficult to work in manually, apparently there
is a degree of automation to the On-Track discounts and the Holiday
Discounts - so manually enabling a discount across all tech trees
poses a bit of a challenge.
I can share that the tech tree discounts are definitely something we want to make happen one way or another, it just may not be as speedy of a resolution as we'd like. Will definitely share more news in this regard as it comes in.

DomoSapien: Tankers,
The Common Test for Update 1.7.1 is now Live!
This update will bring in some pretty cool new content and introduce some balance tweaks for Encounter Battles on certain maps. Specifically, certain spawn locations on these maps are being adjusted so that both teams arrive at the main chokepoints more or less at the same time. We've noticed that on these maps, it's quite common for one side of the map to take the advantageous positions in Encounter Battles first, so these changes are aimed at balancing that out. (Additionally, we are adding Cliff to the map rotation for Encounter Battles) The update will also introduce the IS-2-II, IS-3-II, and ST-II, the new Dual-Barreled Heavy Tanks joining the U.S.S.R. Tech Tree.
Finally, we are also introducing a new quality-of-life feature: Complex Equipment Demount Kits! Basically these will be single-use consumables that you can find in your rewards for Merit, and they allow you to dismount a piece of Complex Equipment without paying the 10 Gold cost or destroying the equipment.

that was only available in limited quantities. Since NA doesn't
offer RU internet a deal was struck to allow us to sell it.
However, because of its prestigious upbringing, its value is worth
more. Which is why you can sell a tier VIII premium medium for
about 2mil credits. To answer your question about paying
for the Russian bias. No its for the Russian rarity.
