DomoSapien: It is indeed related to the crew - it's a known issue and has been reported  but in the interim - dismiss some crew members from your barracks (ideally 50% crews or crews that are less than 100%) 

KRZYBooP:  I did. It's a difficult thing to argue when there are so many ways to earn consumables for free in the game. Bundles, missions, Tank rewards, all offer consumables. 50% off is hard to swing when all you have to do is play the game and you get them for free.  

KRZYBooP:  Yea The Type 59G is going to be sold for only 100.00 xD. You are nuts sir.  

KRZYBooP:  WoT premium offers you to two Map blockers. If you don't have WoT premium you get one.  

KRZYBooP:  World of Tanks is an ever changing game with many mechanics and new features introduced throughout it's lifetime. Over 550 tanks to pick from, so the challenge is to make them feel a little different and balance them against each other. Some changes are to reflect a historical aspect. Such as the STB1 being given the hydraulic suspension, or Kanonenennenenenen getting a non historical gun to be competitive at tier 8. The changes are implemented to improve gameplay, and you may not have noticed, but many players on the forums make many requests to nerf this or buff that. Some are Valid, which are included in feedback reports we send to HQ. 

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! You got any awesome plans this weekend? Take a break with World of Tanks to get some progress on your tank lines with conversion discounts, and gaining extra XP this weekend.  All you have to do is click HEREfor the 1.5xp weekend.  Then click HEREfor the XP fever missions. Good luck everyone and I hope to see ya on the battlefield!

KRZYBooP: I DID! 

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Back by my popular demand is one of my favorite premium Tanks. The VK 75.01 (K) the K is for KRZYBoop. Click the Tank above to purchase the Base bundle. The Base bundle starts at 36.99For more information on the sale click HERE More information on the tank click HERE

Felipe6666Original: Hilo cerrado para centrar las discusiones sobre esta prueba aquí (el hilo en sí no tiene nada de malo). ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Como muchos saben, seguimos realizando pruebas para dar un cambio integral al funcionamiento de la munición en World of Tanks, y el próximo paso son los proyectiles HE (no, no afecta a las AAP o a la HESH). Las pruebas ya comenzaron, así que los invitamos a unirse para que prueben el nuevo concepto que tenemos para estos proyectiles y luego compartan sus opiniones con nosotros. ¡Buena suerte!

Jambijon: Greetings tankers! We've already heard everyone loud and clear but thought we should have a central post for this discussion.  We can't say it enough but the revision of the HE shells is just a test, which is why it is on the Sandbox server. For those who haven't checked it out, we have a dedicated article that goes over the changes linked below: [Sandbox] High-Explosive Shells Revision: Join the Testing! GLHF!  Irrelevant Cool HE Shell Demonstration video I saw 

MA77: Nosso servidor Sandbox está disponível e você poderá testar algumas alterações que fizemos nos projéteis HE. Artigo.

Felipe6666Original:  Los correos no son nuestro medio principal de comunicación, es complementario (como todos). Si no quieres recibirlos porque su contenido puede ser invasivo o molesto, puedes desuscribirte y ya. En el launcher estuvo porque el que figuren los artículos allí una vez que estén en el portal es automático, no es algo que configuremos aparte. No, no fue anunciado en el foro de manera oficial, podría hacerse, pero es drenar recursos para publicar noticias que ya están en el portal generando spam (sobre todo porque no espero que tengan mucha respuesta por aquí siendo que son meros comunicados). ¡Saludos!

Jambijon: Those are represented in-game as "Marks of Excellence" 

https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wot/article/18955/

KRZYBooP: Tanks aren't very quiet and if you get within a certain distance of one you know it. No you won't know what position their turret is in, but you also don't have a camera mounted thirty feet above and behind you. Line of sight is taken into consideration if you check out the video above, but not withing 50M.  

KRZYBooP: Here you go OP!  Check out more videos HERE

KRZYBooP: Someone was watching my stream yesterday. xD 

KRZYBooP: GO GO Chrysler K! 

MA77:  Por favor, abra um ticket com o máximo de replays do AE Phase I para que nossa equipe possa analisar, Dukki.   

DomoSapien: Alrighty folks, it's been a tough round of deliberation because there are lots of quality memes. I'd even go so far as to call them 'dank.' The dankest m4 'Improved' meme goes to.... FrontenacDuVandoo!

You'll be receiving the M4 'Improved' + Tank Festival Style! 
There were so many dank memes that I want to shoutout some honorable mentions that will be receiving the Tank Festival style because I love you guys:
In no particular order: 

Dogu_Kan with his hilarious Avengers meme
  el_01 with the rib-tickling Chad improved meme (definitely got some chuckles out of me with this one!)

 And Enderclaw8 with this epic Junior vs Senior meme:

Hope you guys enjoyed the contest and had fun making these memes Thanks for all the laughs! EDIT: I should mention that I was wrong about the name of the style, it's the "WG Fest 2019 style" (white one with all the orange and blue arrows on it) ; I had a bit of free time so I already took care of the payouts. All of you should have already received your prizes. 

Jambijon: Wait here's my submission:
  

Jambijon:  For purchased tanks that you already own, you get the gold compensation for the vehicle.  Plus, you'll get the 2 sets of BIA crew   

Jambijon:  Yes, it just became a popular buzzword after Nvidia's big RTX push and other popular games (minecraft) implementing it.  

MA77: Fala Dukki. Tudo bem?

As marcas de excelência são calculadas a partir das últimas 100 batalhas nos últimos 14 dias. Se você não utilizou o veículo por este período, outras pessoas que jogaram afetarão o cálculo desta média. Se não foi o seu caso, peço que imediatamente envie todos os replays deste veículo no último mês para o Suporte para que eles possam analisar qualquer possível problema. Grande abraço! 

Felipe6666Original:  Además del video (buen feedback, por cierto, debería haber aclarado la fecha límite de inscripción), hubo un artículo dedicado, el video fue publicado en el portal (de hecho, sigue allí, se envió por correo y apareció como notificación interna en el juego por 10 días. De hecho, siendo que antes notaste la iniciativa, me gustaría saber cómo pasaste esto por alto (no va con mala onda la pregunta, porque la idea es mejorar siempre y aprender). Sobre los códigos, a mí tampoco me gustan, pero en esta ocasión en puntual sirven para determinado análisis interno que estoy haciendo. Y sobre el nivel, concuerdo, debería haber sido más bajo, pero no demasiado, no son eventos para captar nuevos jugadores, sino de retención (como el video en sí mismo). ¡Saludos! 

TeriyakiTanker: Yup this is your answer.

Einzelganger7: It is nice and all but well... I'd like to see more tank balancing, not how shadows look on the tanks, you know.

DomoSapien: Not gonna lie, I spend more time on Discord because folks are much nicer there. Forums tend to be more of Boop and Jambi's specialty, Tragic and I tend to gravitate towards discord.  The meme contest was my idea, for what it's worth. Content yells at us if we don't repost the sales in forum threads D:

Last day to submit your memes! Contest ends tonight at midnight (central)!

Jambijon: The default location for the installation folder is C:\Games depending on the drive you're installing it on if you're using a PC.  I'd recommend creating a support ticket for troubleshooting steps.

Jambijon: Greetings Tankers! As most of you have already heard, we stepped into the realm of multi-national crews!  With that, comes a classic, solid medium tank, the T-34-84 Rudy!  T-34-85 Rudy OFFER STARTS: Tuesday, October 15, 04:20 PT | 06:20 CT | 07:20 ET
OFFER ENDS: Friday, November 1, 04:20 PT | 06:20 CT | 07:20 ET For more details on bundles and the Rudy itself, click on the name or the Rudy.   New purchases will come with the "zero-skill" BIA Polish and USSR crews. Now for previous owners of the Rudy, a "zero-skill" BIA Polish Crew was credited out to you.  If you didn't have any room in your Barracks don't fret.  Once room is made available the crew will populate. GLHF!        

1984BigBrother: The battle delegation feature is on for all servers that are using the Alliance mechanic. This includes EU and RU. Sorry for the late reply but the trade convoys are for clans that have those resources there is no way to earn Bonds or IR on the global map during the season

DomoSapien:
Looking into it! Trying to get ahold of the guy in charge of the mass invoice.

Theoretically you should still be on track for the 'first 100' aspect - after speaking with them yesterday my understanding is that the missions that you have on your account will remain, you'll simply receive the extra set in addition to these.

 

DomoSapien: I don't think the resolution is officially supported so you may run into some technical issues but theoretically it should work. I run in 3840 x 2160 at home and don't have any issues.

Jambijon: Greetings Tankers! Ray tracing has been popping up frequently and our game engine folks worked with Intel to integrate it into WoT!  Basically what that means is, better shadows with minimal cost on performance. For all the details, check out the link below as well as the included video: Ray Tracing Explained  If you want to test your system, we've included a benchmark where you can test out different levels of quality. Check your systems performance GLHF!

DomoSapien: Commanders! Half of autumn is over, but for the M18 (90), an American Tier VII tank destroyer, everything is just about to begin. Let’s see whether it has chances to succeed in Supertest! In a nutshell, it’s a Hellcat but moved to Tier VII. It’s 90mm gun causes 240 points of damage on average. A standard AP shells penetrates 167 mm of enemy armor, while a special APCR goes further and will make a dent in the opposing vehicle 203 mm deep. The dispersion and aiming time are quite satisfying and make 0.35 at 100 m and 1.7, respectively. As for the view range it is 370 m. Let’s touch upon its survivability, because regardless of how good you are at firing, what matters is whether you are good at surviving or not. So to keep your 800 hit points intact, you will have to excel at the art of positioning as, let’s face it, the vehicle has cardboard-thick armor reaching up to 12 mm in the hull and up to 127 mm in the turret. However, the TD’s mobility makes up for its lame armor easily, with a max speed reaching 72 km/h and a power-to-weight ratio of 23.5 hp/t.
   Summing up, the М18 (90) provides for a familiar gameplay typical of a dynamic TD that’s at its best when used in the ambush role. To make the best of this American, take the most advantageous position (the TD can do it quickly) and then keep adapting yourself to the situation and follow the allies while supporting them at a distance.

Felipe6666Original: El evento comenzó el ayer como estaba anunciado. Sobre las misiones erroneas, estamos al tanto de que las misiones vinculadas a Dulce o Truco están invertidas (si canjearon el código DULCE, obtuvieron las misiones correspondientes a TRUCO y viceversa), por tanto, entre hoy y mañana acreditaremos a todas las cuentas que hayan activado cualquiera de los dos códigos con el conjunto de misiones correspondiente al código opuesto, ¡pero no removeremos las anteriores! ¡Eso quiere decir que podrán completar más misiones y obtener más premios todavía! ¡Saludos!

MA77: Comandantes! Metade da primavera já foi embora, mas o M18 (90), um caça-tanques americano de Nível VII acabou de chegar em nosso servidor Superteste. Vamos analisar as chances dele ter sucesso em nossos testes, e se tornar um novo membro dos veículos estadunidenses?  Este veículo é basicamente um Hellcat, mas que foi movido para o Nível VII devido ao seu canhão de 90mm e dano alfa de 240. Seu projétil AP tem 167 mm de penetração, já o APCR você poderá ter mais ceteza que irá penetrar alguns inimigos mais durões, então use os 203 mm quando necessário. A dispersão e tempo de mira são satisfatórios, sendo 0.35 em 100 m e 1.7s, respectivamente. Claro que não podemos deixar de mencionar os 370 m de alcance de visão deste gato infernal. A sobrevivência deste veículo é um ponto interessante. O M18 (90) tem 800 hp, porém, apenas 12 mm de blindagem no casco e 127 mm na torre, então você já sabe: avistou um KV-2, esconda-se o quanto antes! Entretanto, a dinâmica deste veículo é muito satisfatória: sua velocidade máxima é de 72km/h e sua relação peso-potência é de 23.5hp/t. Em resumo, este veículo irá lhe oferecer uma típica experiência de jogar com um caça-tanques e emboscar seus inimigos. Para tirar melhor proveito deste veículo americano, pegue as posições de maior vantagem - lembre-se que velocidade é algo que ele tem, e muito - e mantenha constante suporte aos seus aliados.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Ya estamos en la recta final del año, pero para el M18 (90), un cazatanques estadounidense de nivel VII, todo está por comenzar. ¡Veamos si tiene chances de emerger victorioso del Supertest! Imágenes 
En resumen, se trata de un Hellcat de nivel VII. En promedio, su cañón de 90 mm ocasiona 240 puntos de daño. Sus proyectiles AP estándar penetran 167 mm de blindaje, mientras que su APCR puede perforar 203 mm. Tanto la dispersión como el tiempo de apuntamiento son bastante decentes, a 0,35 y 1,7 respectivamente. Su rango de visión alcanza los 370 metros. Ahora hablemos de su supervivencia, porque sin importar lo bueno que sea un jugador disparando, lo verdaderamente importante es si puede sobrevivir o no. En consecuencia, para no perder ninguno de los 800 puntos de vida de este vehículo, habrá que ser un maestro del posicionamiento. Es imposible negarlo, el blindaje de este vehículo está hecho de papel, con 12 mm en el chasis y 127 mm en la torreta. Sin embargo, su movilidad compensa su pobre protección, con una velocidad máxima de 72 km/h y una potencia específica de 23,5 CV/t. En resumen, el М18 (90) ofrece una jugabilidad familiar típica para los cazatanques dinámicos que destacan en tender emboscadas. Para aprovecharlo al máximo, es conveniente tomar las posiciones más provechosas como este cazatanques puede hacerlo y adaptarse a la situación para seguir de cerca a los aliados y proveerlos con fuego de cobertura. Como siempre, recuerden que todos los valores están sujetos a  cambios de acuerdo a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

MA77: Fala Jaxbala2! Tudo bem? Se você não recebeu nenhuma premiação ainda, você deve abrir um ticket em nosso Suporte o quanto antes. 

DomoSapien: The codes should now be fixed - we will be invoicing the correct missions to all affected players' accounts via a data pull and mass invoice sometime tonight/tomorrow morning.

KRZYBooP:  

KRZYBooP:  At this time the WoT salute is just a trial with US military being the first up. Expanding the program to include more is still a possibility along with other amazing stuff that I can't talk about.  

KRZYBooP:  Try the following:Play a battleLog out then back inSubmit a ticket if those two don't work.  

KRZYBooP:  

KRZYBooP:  It's asking for you SSN to verify your Veteran status. ID.me is used by the VA hospital network and WG doesn't see any SSN's.There is an option to us USAA in which they only ask for your last four.  The first pic is from ID.me website showing that we don't get your SSN. The second pic is what our employee's on the back end.  

KRZYBooP:  I was speaking from my personal experience, but I would have fell for the Battery one. Just like the ID-10T Form. 

CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,

I think this thread was started as a bit of humor but the conversation has devolved into inane political sniping and toxicity so it is now closed.  We have nothing but respect for the Canadian Armed Forces and hope to add them to the World of Tanks Salute program in the future.

Folks, if you've got a problem with Canada Gooses you've got a problem with me. I suggest you let that one marinate.
