DomoSapien: Heads up, folks: due to some unexpected technical issues, Sofilein will not be able to drop the Scavenger Hunt code today.

Goshism has volunteered to take up the mantle and do today's Scavenger Hunt code drop at 18:00 CT 

Schedule has been updated to reflect this information.
 

The_Chieftain: I put some quotes from the original panzerjaeger concepts here https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/chieftain/The_Chieftains_Hatch_Parallel_Evolution/ However, after 1942 or so, I do not think I have anything I would consider definitive on the matter.

KRZYBooP:  New maps are coming out as fast as the dev team can make them/ remake them. Minsk is getting a redo and Pearl river is next.  The feature you mentioned is currently in Blitz so it's not impossible, however there are other issues to consider since Blitz isn't 100% a WoT PC copy.  To your Point though. Yes WG likes money, and is a sell out, but new maps/ new Tanks are needed to keep players interested. Free 2 Play games all have to release new content to keep the game fresh interesting and no one works for the smiles alone. Now back to smiling at Cabbage for no reason so he knows I am working.  

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Some of you may or may not have noticed that the Salute Missions weren't working as intended. For those affected please check your garage as Compensation will be going out soon in the form of Points toward the missions. The players affected were the Veterans, and everything should be working now. If not please feel free to submit a ticket with a screen shot to our support team. 

DomoSapien: A bug report has already been filed for this issue and it's been reported to the dev team.
Considering that, at first glance this seems to be related to a pretty critical component of the game (physics engine) - it's probably a fairly complex issue and won't get fixed overnight. While I understand you're frustrated at the lack of a speedy resolution, keep in mind the nature of the issue - when we implemented the current Mission UI back in...2017? It broke the contact list for like 3 months. Baby steps, friend; measure twice, cut once.

KRZYBooP:  I could copy and paste word for word what is on the news portal, but then why would you go to the beautiful website that answers most players questions. Forums don't offer a slick UI that allows you to click on elements to reveal other elements. The forum is pretty much the internet from 1999, nothing fancy just text with pictures that link you places and are not fun to put in our forums to spice them up.  You can use all Tanks tier whatever through whatever is listed in the missions. If you are talking about the 3D skin at the end of the Marathon, then you can only get one for the tanks listed in the mission.  Hopefully the above answers your question.

The_Chieftain:  Day 1 should be good enough. Once you’re in the Army system and have paperwork to show for it. 

The_Chieftain:

Assuming it verified correctly (check in your account management screen), your goodies should show up after logging out and in again. 

Felipe6666Original:  Sigo siendo jugador, juego menos porque ahora mis responsabilidades son otras, pero nunca he dejado de jugar WoT. La artillería nació con WoT como clase, está desde la alfa. Prohibir la artillería a esta altura no tiene el más mínimo sentido. Limitarla o seguirla modificando sí, porque tampoco porque esté desde el 2010 queremos volver a las 7 u 8 artillerías por lado (con suerte). Si el problema es que la artillería se concentra en los mejores jugadores haciéndoles la vida imposible, con tan solo ocultar el nombre nadie sabrá quién eres ni qué tan bien juegas. ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  ¿Es decir que sería más fácil prohibir un mod pasando por arriba las opiniones de quienes sí encuentran sus beneficios en lugar de desarrollar una herramienta integrada para que desactiven sus efectos quienes no los encuentren útiles o favorables? Y dicho sea de paso, el haber desactivado tanto el chat global como el fuego aliado ha disminuido la toxicidad notablemente y ha forzado a que los jugadores se centren en lo verdaderamente importante (que es la batalla) en lugar de perder el tiempo insultándose o hablando con el equipo enemigo o disparándole a un aliado porque sí. Dudo de sobremanera que grandes grupos de jugadores hayan abandonado paulatinamente el juego por esas cosas. Me resulta mucho más creíble (y sustentable) que sea por cosas más notables, como el equilibrio de determinados vehículos o mecánicas, pero para eso está esto. Tratemos de centrarnos en el tema propuesto en el hilo y todos sus aspectos. ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  No entiendo el argumento... ¿Estás en contra del XVM pero también en contra de una herramienta que lo dejará sin efecto? ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  Es precisamente lo que acabo de nombrar (anonimizador = ocultamiento de nicknames/estadísticas). Y estará cuando tenga que estar (las pruebas comenzarán pronto). ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  Si no fuera el XVM, serían los clanes (porque no faltan los que dicen "Uh, tenemos uno de [XXX], ya perdimos ). Y si bloqueamos los tags de clanes, va por nick la cosa. Siempre se va a encontrar la manera de echarle la culpa a algo por una disminución de la moral antes de que arranque la partida, sea o no externo. Igual el anonimizador va a tirar por la borda los "cálculos fiables" de posibilidad de victoria (o eso espero). ¡Saludos!

The_Chieftain:  Do you perchance have an ID.me  ticket number or some  such from email correspondence with  them that we can point our contacts there towards? 

The_Chieftain:  If you have the file, then I don't see why you can't use the 'upload documentation' option. I think it's worth following through. Can you message me the email address you are using for ID.me as you go through the process? That way we can have  our ID.me  contacts keep track of things on their end at the same time. You are obviously not the only person in this situation, but since you are identified, you may as well be the test subject to see if we can break the blocker and get everyone eligible into the system. 

TeriyakiTanker: If you agree why do you keep saying it is gambling...… unbelievable.

KRZYBooP:  You don't have to if you got out of the Military past 1985. You can also verify with a USAA account that only the military and family have access to.  

KRZYBooP:  Here is a pamphletof your VA benefits that you qualify for. You can also check out this Website. If you have other questions about your eligibility you can talk to their support team HERE My point is that you need to sign in to the VA.gov website and you can only due that if you served. One of the ways to sign in is Through ID.me.  There are other National Guard and Reserves Members that are part of the Salute program. While WG may not be able to help, you can find Help with the ID.me, or VA.gov support team.  You may think that this is a lot of trouble for a Video Game, but ID.me emails you places that are offering discounts specifically for Veterans. It was created to make Vets life a little easier with one Sign in that says I am a Vet and this sign in option is proof I am verified. 

KRZYBooP:  The last time I was in Blitz I found that you could move some of the UI elements to make them easier to reach with your fingers. This might be one where they selected an option to have it displayed.  There isn't a Mod that I am aware of that does the same thing in WoT, but there is a 2D tank in your lower left to see if you are angled correctly in two directions. 

Felipe6666Original:  Esos no son cañones dobles, son coaxiales o complementarios. pero es cierto que no tiene sentido que dichos tanques ocupen tripulantes que en verdad no tienen ninguna función (más que una distribución de habilidades, si se quiere). Sobre la línea de realismo e historia, siempre hemos dicho que todo el material propuesto, prototipado o conceptualizado será tenido en cuenta para nuestro juego en tanto cuadre con su ecosistema, no nos limitamos (ni lo hemos hecho nunca) al material producido o de un conflicto en particular. ¡Saludos!

Jambijon:  http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/614612-celebrate-veterans-remembrance-day/

DomoSapien:  

DomoSapien:

Well, I'm certainly no expert in Military paperwork since I never served and neither did my family, but I would recommend contacting ID.me support to see if there's anything they can do to point you in the right direction.  Ultimately we don't have the means to do this ourselves and ID.me is the best option for our needs.

It's certainly worth a shot, not trying definitely won't solve the issue, even if there is a possibility of those efforts ultimately being fruitless.

Jambijon: Greetings Tankers and Veterans! Monday, November 11 is Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, where we observe and thank those who have served in the armed forces. Veterans & Remembrance Day WeekendSPECIALS BEGIN: Friday, Nov. 8, 03:20 PT | 05:20 CT | 06:20 ET

The_Chieftain: Sorry I missed this. I asked exactly the same question of the director of the Panzermuseum, what is the difference between a Panzerjaeger and a Jagdpanzer.16:36 in this video.  According to him, they are interchangable terms. There may have been (obviously enough) a tactical difference, but there was no doctrinal/operational difference that I have seen.

DomoSapien: Tankers, the last episode of Frontline is nearly upon us!
Polish up those Progettos, dust off those Defenders, and wind up those Wheelies... you've got one more week to earn those Prestige points!
As a reminder there are 4 vehicles available for purchase with Prestige Points earned in Frontline:Tier VIII  China - WZ-111 Tier VIII Japan - STA- 2 Tier VIII Sweden - Emil 1951 Tier IX USA - AE Phase I  Don't have enough Prestige Points for a tank? Or maybe none of the options seem appealing to you? You can cash in those Prestige Points for 300 Gold and 100 Bonds each between November 25th and December 10th ( 00:00 PT | 02:00 CT | 03:00 ET)
If you spent any Gold on tank rentals for Frontline, that Gold will go towards a discount on any of the 11 Frontline Rentals between November 25th and December 10th ( 00:00 PT | 02:00 CT | 03:00 ET)If you bought any Frontline Boosters for Gold and didn't use them, their Gold cost will be returned to you on November 25th (0:05 PT | 2:05 CT | 3:05 ET) To get all the details, head over to the news portal. 

Jambijon: Greetings Tankers! I'm surprised this isn't a bigger thing but November 11th is considered a "Single Day," which is a Chinese holiday for unmarried people (hence the date 11/11).  So for 72 hours starting today, we have a couple special deals going on. 72-Hour Offers:
Type 62 & World Single DayOFFERS BEGIN:
Friday, Nov 8, 03:20 PT | 05:20 CT | 06:20 ET
OFFERS END:
Monday, Nov. 11, 03:20 PT | 05:20 CT | 06:20 ET We also have currency and Premium Time bundles going as well.  For more information, click the link above or the Type 62. If its with WoT or not, you should do as they say and "Treat yo self." GLHF!  

The_Chieftain: Mayv Knee Vaylekhaha, give or take a vowel. The 'ch' is a harsh one, a bit like the 'ch' in 'christ', but less emphasis on the 'c'Surprised by the 'v', there is no 'v' in the Irish  alphabet. Usually represented by a 'bh' as in Maebh.

DomoSapien: Howdy, I'm talking with a couple of my coworkers who are Veterans and they're telling me you should be able to verify with ID.me.
The DD214 is not the only verification option they offer, when you select "upload military documentation" some of the documents listed include NGB Form 22, Leave & Earnings Statements (LES), Veteran Health Identification Cards (VHIC) and Veteran Identification Cards (VIC)

Additionally there is the option for ID.me to search military service records however I'm not sure how all that works/ if it only looks through active duty records but it's certainly worth a shot. Frankly I would recommend contacting ID.me support, since it's their service their team is more familiar with the limitations of their verification methods. You can contact their Support team by clicking the little '(?) Support'  button at the bottom of the verification window and going through the prompts.

Felipe6666Original: Los bots emulan (o intentan emular) el comportamiento de jugadores nuevos en el juego (y por las críticas que veo sobre los nuevos, creo que lo hacen bastante bien), así que no parerán enemigos formidables o aliados confiables para jugadores experimentados o que ya conocen las nociones básicas del juego. ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP: I was given wrong information.  The last mission is NOT base XP. It counts base XP, XP after the First win of the Day and WoT premium boost applied. Any other consumable booster is not counted toward the 10k.  Hopefully this clears everything up.   

The_Chieftain: That's on the museum channel. Ours comes out next week.

KRZYBooP: It's Base XP. Battle XP = Base XP

The_Chieftain: We have a feedback forum. This thread is about scale modeling!

KRZYBooP:  Sadly there isn't a let's rollback option for our events. The previous Halloween event is used in the one they were working on, and would take just as much time to ensure it would be stable as it would to complete it. 

DomoSapien:
Without the CC's the Scavenger Hunt wouldn't exist, soooooo... 

In all seriousness, though, if my family was dealing with a medical emergency, releasing a bonus code would be the least of my worries. Let's give Nando the benefit of the doubt and keep in mind that sometimes emergencies come up. I do wish he would have notified us sooner but if something particularly bad is going on with his family and it all happened quickly, I can see how he might have forgotten about it entirely. edit: Also, it's probably worth mentioning that I was mistaken about the Credit Boosts: namely they were able to fix the missions so they award Credit Boosts - we will still be compensating players with Credit Boosts retroactively but only for the first 4 days that the boosters weren't being awarded.

All players that completed the "Scavenger Hunt" repeatable mission and earned the XP boosters but not the Credit Boosters will get the missing Credit Boosters they should have received for completing those missions between Nov 1st and 4th. 

DomoSapien: So when the Swediums came out I rushed to the tier VIII and grinded up the rest of the line. They're actually quite fun to play, from my experience, although there are a few pretty glaring weaknesses that prevent them from being meta.

The biggest weakness, moreso than the pen and accuracy imo, is how susceptible these things are to HE. You will fairly consistently be getting hit by artillery for 1k+ damage with a single shot. I think the most I've seen was a little over 1300 from an M53/M55. For the 15/16: The accuracy is, imo, workable, and the pen is also, imo, workable. I don't always spam gold because I generally prefer APCR when I can use it because shell velocity - but you have fairly beefy alpha for a medium which is a nice enough deterrent to stop people from pushing you on a ridgeline. The tank generally teaches you good gameplay habits and allows you to get into a lot of crazy positions/angles.

In my opinion, it's a really fun line to play once you hit tier 8+. You're going to have some excellent games and you're going to have some miserable games. If you want something that's a more consistent and classically skill-based I'd go for something else meta like the SConq, 277, or 430U. What I mean by that is, how you do in those vehicles is more directly related to your individual performance than how you do in the UDES, because things that are mostly out of your control like Arty will impact your gameplay in the UDES much more than in a more "meta" tank.

DomoSapien:  CC's don't get Reward Tanks, Gold, Bonds, or improved equipment from Wargaming. They only get access to new premiums in return for creating content about these new premiums. The Chieftain is an excellent vehicle, some cases could certainly be made and have been made by players about the vehicle's performance, but it's far from idiot-proof.

Trust me, I'm an idiot and I have a 40% winrate in the T95/FV4201. The one time I took it into a Ranked battle this season I got absolutely stomped by someone in a Super Conqueror. 

DomoSapien:  Ranked Battles will run until Monday, Nov 18th.

DomoSapien: Tankers, sorry for the short/late notice. We've been trying to get in contact with Nando_Capo, I just found out he's dealing with a serious family emergency, which is why he has been MIA. Goshism will be filling in for Nando tonight and dropping the code at 4:30 PT 6:30 CT 7:30 ET

https://www.twitch.tv/Goshism

KRZYBooP:  My apologies if I locked anyone into a T54 mission. I too already redeemed a code for a tank I don't have.

DomoSapien:  rip, I must have misunderstood, I was under the impression it was too late to get the mission changed. Well, TIL I guess? We'll figure out what to do about the first few days it wasn't working
