DomoSapien: I think it's worth playing as a class, even if only to teach you the limitations of artillery and make you better at avoiding them. 

DomoSapien: I've just been informed that the codes have been fixed. They should be giving the correct missions now - those affected by the issue will receive the correct missions via a mass invoice on our backend that will take place sometime today/tonight.

They may end up getting replaced, but since it was our goof we're hoping to let those affected simply keep access to the missions they already have + receive the correct set of missions moving forward. So they'll be able to double-up.

Felipe6666Original:  Lo contesto por aquí también (y cierro el hilo para continuar con la discusión en el otro hilo de ser necesario), pero los estilos como tales solo pueden aplicarse a esos niveles desde que fueron introducidos. Es decir, los estilos como artículo solo sirven para determinados niveles desde que existen, así que por eso no se lo especificó. ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP:  Don't tempt me.  

KRZYBooP:  Wow what an Alt perspective on this subject.  I am voicing things that have been stated by myself and co-workers on streams. They/We explain it on almost every stream that we do, and figured it merited some debate on the forums.  You are free to disagree and debate the topic civilly. I am not good at the game but it doesn't mean I don't understand it. 

KRZYBooP:   

DomoSapien: I spoke with Customer Support - they are aware of the issue and working on a fix. Everything should happen via a serverside data pull. So if you don't feel like submitting a ticket, no worries. We'll get it sorted ASAP

Felipe6666Original:  Lo primero, al menos así está programado por ahora. ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Muy buena competencia! ¡Vamos que todavía quedan más de 15 días! ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  Es que en verdad no son camuflajes, sino estilos. Los estilos solo pueden usarse en vehículos de niveles VIII o X porque fueron concebidos de esa manera (por eso no fue anunciado, funcionan así desde su introducción). En el futuro, quizás, estén habilitados para vehículos de otros niveles. ¡Saludos!

MA77:  Fala Trombadinha. Tudo bem? Os procedimentos citados acima são especificamente para o caso do jogo fechar sozinho, etc. Para problemas com sua conexão, recomendo que siga as instruções deste tópico, identifique onde está ocorrendo o problema e entre em contato com sua operadora. 

The_Chieftain:
It’s the “legally” bit which is causing the problem. It is how ATF regulates them, and we have been working on that basis for decades. Apparently, however, up until recently, nobody actually bothered to look up the laws the regulations are based on. This goes back to the challenge in the previous post. What part of an AR15 meets the legal definition of “receiver”, given the ATF regulates receivers?

The_Chieftain:
Thank you. of course, it’s friday night, now, I’ll bet nobody gets to their emails before Monday, but I’m curious.

The_Chieftain: In fascinating legal news, apparently some chap who the ATF was prosecuting for illegally selling AR15s had the case dropped when his lawyer told the judge that AR15s are not subject to federal regulation by the ATF. Once everybody stopped laughing, and actually looked up the legislation, instead of just presuming that everybody had it right all the time, they realised he was right. The problem is that legally, the “receiver” of the rifle is the gun. The receiver is defined in the US Code. Your challenge is as follows. Looking at the definition, what component of an AR15, or AUG, for example, meets the definition? Someone in Congress needs to get that fixed, or every illegal AR15 defendant is going to pull the same defense.

The_Chieftain:
ok, you seem to be the second person saying this. I am looking to grab a screenshot and ask our contact in ID.me why this shows up, given we do not receive that lot. However, damned if I can find that particular verbiage, can you screen grab it, or at least tell me exactly where you are seeing it, please?

The_Chieftain:
Most likely next in the chute, simply due to the fact that you seem to have a verified central verification system as well, in CFOne, and we are not aware of any similar systems in other American nations, However, baby steps. Let’s make sure we can get ourselves sorted out with just the USians before we add to our integration workload. We don’t think any other video game company has tried doing anything ingame like this before, so there are doubtless pitfalls we are going to encounter as we really get the Salute ball rolling. We’re only getting started.

The_Chieftain:
Ironically, the VA uses ID.me to verify service. Go to va.gov, click on “sign in”, you’ll see the ID.me sign in link. It’s a legit service, it’s saved me thousands of dollars.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! My apologies for this being a little late. However.... Check out all the New Sales for these awesome used tanks! First up for sale is the PzKpfw. II Ausf.J bundle with a tank and 360 Days of WoT PremiumThis bundle starts at 99.99 and runs from now (11Oct) until 14Oct.For more information on this sale click HERE Next up is the T26E3 Eagle 7This tank starts at 31.99 and the sale runs from 7Oct until 1Nov (sorry for the tardiness). More information on this sale can be found HERE

DomoSapien:  This article should help you figure out what affiliation to select during the registration processhttps://help.id.me/hc/en-us/articles/202033450-Which-affiliation-should-I-select- essentially you go through this process: https://help.id.me/hc/en-us/articles/204456674-How-do-I-verify-my-military-service- but make sure you select the correct affiliation when doing so. 

DomoSapien:

Please check under the 'specials' category in the Premium Shop. If that doesn't do the trick, please contact Customer Support- this is a pilot program so there may be a few kinks that need to get ironed out.

DomoSapien:
Please contact ID.me's Customer Support team! They should be able to help you figure out your old login credentials for their website. Then you'll just need to make sure this new account you created is unbound from your Wargaming.net ID through your account settings in the top right corner of our website, and link the existing ID.me account you registered in 2018.

DomoSapien: It should be virtually instant. Please contact customer supportto ensure nothing went wrong during the linking process. It's possible you may have been signed into the wrong Wargaming.net ID when you were linking accounts?

DomoSapien:
When you're completing a purchase, in the pop-up window that allows you to select your payment method, there is a category that allows you to select coupons. The coupon should be visible for any eligible item. If the coupon isn't showing up, Customer Support can help you out with that. 

DomoSapien:
Please keep in mind that this is the first time we've launched a project like this and we are one of the first (if not THE first) gaming companies to offer such a service. Setting this up was no small feat, we've been working on this project for a year. Yes, it would be amazing if everyone had access to nice things but piloting this program with US military personnel at first is not meant to be an affront to veterans and military personnel from countries other than the United States. We have to crawl before we can run, and we have to run before we can leap.

Considering the player response to WoT Salute has been overwhelmingly positive - I'd say it's a pretty safe assumption that we will be looking to expand the program to include military personnel from other North American nations in due time.

I think it's also worth reiterating in general: This is 100% voluntary - you choose who and which organizations you trust with your information. If you feel that the veteran's benefits program is a way to secretly gather your personal information and sell it to Putin - well, you're wrong, but it's your call because it's your information. Obviously we have business reasons behind offering this service - Acquisition and Retention. If all goes well, it will motivate veterans and military personnel to sign up for World of Tanks, and it will make existing World of Tanks players feel appreciated and hopefully motivate them to stick around. On top of that, it comes with the added bonus of showing our unique community of players that we care about them and appreciate their business.

KRZYBooP: Yes but you have to Verify your account with ID.me. Log in/ play a battle, and you should get all the rewards including the coupon. 

Felipe6666Original: El tema en inglés fue eliminado y no obtuve mi respuesta.
¿Puedes responderme esto: tendremos que jugar IS-3 para llegar a IS-3 II o al KV-4?  Todavía no está definido de qué línea se desprenderán (sé que hay imágenes revoloteando por internet, pero no son representativas de nuestros planes definitivos). ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP: You also need to play a battle.If you are having issues please contact support

KRZYBooP: WG already has Email, Name, and is not gaining your SSN. That was the point of the reply. 

Felipe6666Original: Cierro el hilo porque este concurso ya se llevó a cabo hace tiempo (ergo, se cumplió su propósito). ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  No hay reemplazos planeados con estas adiciones. Lo de la velocidad de recarga, en lo personal, lo veo como un contrabalance a semejante poder de fuego, pero veremos cómo evoluciona todo con las pruebas. ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  Todos fueron acreditados hoy (sin excepciones), y acabo de ver por sistema que el tuyo fue acreditado también. Revisa el depósito con cuidado. ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP:  LL doesn't take the soldier's skill, just them as a number that can pull a trigger. It does stipulate that everything is the same and MM does try to set that up, but with different classes that's difficult since the tank classes don't just fire at their equivalent. I.e TD's only shoot at TD's, Heavies are only facing off against Heavies. Player skill won't stop LL since it even happens in skilled players only battles.  The skill of the player/ team does come into play when dealing with the snowball which is why you can get some battles that are not very snowball. This is where both teams are trading tanks back and forth so the effect isn't as notable.    

KRZYBooP:  Apologies for the misunderstanding as there wasn't a clear question asked in your forum posts. 

If you were looking for us to legitimize ID.me further for you we would have provided this information.  We were not expecting that military veterans did not know/ ever heard of ID.me as a verification platform.  There was no fighting intended, and if it seemed that way then I do apologize that it felt like that.  I was attempting to clarify that  this Video Game company is not phishing for our players information. 

DomoSapien:

So, the way it's laid-out in this support article: https://help.id.me/hc/en-us/articles/202211570-Which-Troop-ID-verification-option-should-I-select-# I think family members have to verify using military documents. I'm not 100% on this and I do recommend contacting ID.me's support team for any questions that we can't answer - I'm sure they get these questions a lot and would be more than happy to walk you through the process.

However, from what I've gathered by reading their support pages and going as far through the registration process as it would allow me - when you are uploading your military documents, there is a dropdown that allows you to choose your affiliation. This will allow you to specify that you are a family member of the individual whose documents you are uploading. 

As a reminder we are also a European company and we strictly comply with GDPR. At any time you can remove the ID.me binding from your Wargaming.net ID via your account settings, and we will no longer have access to any of that information. Regardless, however: the only info Wargaming gets from ID.me is a yes or no, and a 'military personnel vs. family member'. At no point do we ever get to see your SSN or other sensitive information.

This is an NA project so global doesn't even have a reason to stick their hands in the cookie jar. The Kremlin has no access to your data through ID.me

MA77:  Infelizmente não, Claudio. Hoje só é possível baixar e utilizar o WGC.

KRZYBooP:  This is where Copyright laws come into play sadly. I too would like a 1st Cav patch on my tanks, however the Army isn't very forthcoming with allowing a video game company to put it in game. 

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! As apart of the this gaming community and answering this question on stream about twice a week every week. I would like to share information on how/ why blow outs happen in our game. It does have a little to do with skill and not Yoloing, but for the most part can be mitigated by a well informed team.  Blow outs are not caused by MM. Its caused by Mathematically proven law.  The theory is called Lanchester's Law and the TLDR is that when a side loses a person the balance tips towards the side with the most guns since they have more guns/ troops/ players. The more one side looses the bigger the affect is seen in battle. Countering this in WoT is usually done with spotter's/ Arty/ TD's blasting the opposing side without being seen while Heavies try to stall the enemies on each flank. Now when Spotter's are no longer around it allows the enemy to advance without taking fire, and this mantle should be picked up by Mediums/ TD's since they have the next Highest spotting range and awesome camo values, but the temptation to fire at enemy and farm damage can be too great and cause them to die while trying to tip the scales back in their favor.  World of Tanks is a tactical game with many factors involved including Tank classes with specific jobs. Spotting is a huge job and in games with only 1 or 2 lights, someone should be taking up that mantle for Arty (while you hate it) does damage from an angle that's hard to avoid. This also makes the enemy burn a Med kit or deal with massive debuff's allowing for the allies to take advantage. Blow outs also happen in Clan war's, and many other High skill games, so it's not MM issue. For more crazy information about the law, math formulas and algorithms click the links Below. https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a225484.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester%27s_laws  

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Hoy es un día especial, porque dos tanques pesados soviéticos equipados con cañones dobles ingresan al Supertest. Hablaremos de estos nuevos tanques y daremos un resumen de esta nueva mecánica.
Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta que las especificaciones que se muestran a continuación no son definitivas y quizás sean alteradas antes de que los vehículos sean parte del juego. IS-3-II Imágenes  La característica más atractiva de los vehículos con cañones dobles es, obviamente, su poder de fuego. El IS-3-II puede montar dos cañones de 122 mm, cada uno con la capacidad de ocasionar 390 puntos de daño alfa, lo que significa que una descarga completa puede ocasionar casi 800 puntos de daño. Además, los cañones tienen una estabilización envidiable, la dispersión es de 0,5 a 100 metros, y puede penetrar 243 mm de blindaje con proyectiles AP estándar o 292 con proyectiles APCR.
La mecánica de disparo tiene sus propias peculiaridades cuando se la compara con cualquier otro vehículo de World of Tanks. Al igual que los demás vehículos con cañones dobles, el IS-3-II cuenta con tres modos de disparo: cíclico, disparo doble y secuencial. El tiempo de recarga para cada cañón es de 10,7 segundos, lo que significa que disparar en modo cíclico permitirá infligir daño una vez cada 10 segundos aproximadamente (el cañón izquierdo dispara luego del derecho y viceversa, y hay que tener en cuenta que alternar entre cañones demora 3,5 segundos). Si ambos cañones están cargados, puedes realizar un disparo doble: la preparación demora 3 segundos. El aspecto negativo de realizar un disparo tan espectacular como este es que ambos cañones se bloquearán por 7 segundos.
Los vehículos que tienen la habilidad de disparar dos cañones tienen una gran desventaja: su blindaje. Para quien se atreva a jugar con estos vehículos, tiene que prepararse para ser muy cuidadoso en el campo de batalla. Sí, tiene blindaje, pero sus valores son normales, principalmente en la torreta, en donde alcanza los 250 mm en el frente y 130 mm en los laterales. Y no hay que olvidar que el tanque tiene solamente 1.800 puntos de vida.
En cuanto a sus dinámicas, hay varias cosas que tener en cuenta. Su velocidad máxima es buena (38 km/h) y su potencia específica es promedio (12,5 CV/t). Con eso en claro, hay que decir que no se puede confiar en la velocidad de giro de su torreta o de su chasis en combates cerrados.
Y antes de pasar al siguiente soviético, queda mencionar que el rango de visión del IS-3-II es de 360 metros. ST-II: el nivel X Imágenes 
No era posible ignorar el proyecto real de un tanque con cañones dobles y no ponerlo en la cima de la línea. Presentamos al ST-II, el nivel X, así que veamos sus especificaciones.
El ST-II monta dos cañones de 122 mm, y cada uno es capaz de ocasionar 440 puntos de daño alfa. Su estabilización es perfecta, su dispersión a 100 metros de 0,4, y su tiempo de apuntamiento de 2,9 segundos. Al respecto de su capacidad de penetración, puede penetrar 258 mm de blindaje con proyectiles AP estándar y 340 mm con munición especial HEAT.
Al igual que en otros vehículos, los cañones del ST-II tienen sus particularidades: cada cañón demora 11,7 segundos en recargar; para alternar entre ellos en el modo cíclico harán falta 3 segundos, mientras que preparar un disparo doble demora 2,5 segundos. Luego de la descarga, ambos cañones se bloquean por 5 segundos.
Como se puede notar, a mayor nivel, mejor funciona el sistema de cañones dobles: el disparo doble está listo más pronto y los cañones se bloquean por menos tiempo, mientras que el modo cíclico presenta más ventajas dado que demora menos tiempo alternar entre cañones.
En cuando a su supervivencia, las reglas son las mismas: una torreta más blindada (hasta 250 mm en el frente) que el chasis (150 mm en el frente y 140 mm en los laterales). Sin embargo, este pesado tiene un as en la manga: 2.500 puntos de vida.
El rango de visión alcanza los 390 metros, mientras que sus dinámicas son similares a las de otros pesados soviéticos del mismo nivel: velocidad máxima de 40 km/h y potencia específica de 12,2 CV/t. Sin embargo, hay que ser precavidos con la velocidad de giro de la torreta, que solo alcanza los 16 grados por segundo.
Tampoco hay que pasar por alto el hecho de que los vehículos con cañones dobles tienen las mismas particularidades en términos de jugabilidad. Son pesados con torretas macizas y dinámicas decentes. En batalla, suelen usar el modo cíclico de disparo, al igual que otros tanques. Pero cuando la oportunidad se presenta, aprovechan el doble disparo para destruir al enemigo de una sola descarga. Resumen de la mecánicaLos vehículos con cañones dobles tiene tres modos de disparo:
Cíclico: disparar solo un cañón seguido de una recarga tras cada disparo. Una vez que se abre fuego, el cañón comienza el proceso de recarga y el segundo cañón se habilita para ser disparado. Solo puedes dispararlo cuando el primer cañón haya terminado de cargar.
Secuencial: el modo de disparo secuencial permite disparar el segundo cañón sin importar si el primero está cargado o no (y sin importar en qué etapa del proceso de recarga se encuentre). Técnicamente funciona así: luego de disparar el primer cañón, el segundo se habilita, mientras que el primero comienza el proceso de recarga. Sin embargo, no hace falta esperar a que el primero termine de cargar para disparar el segundo. Pero en este caso, una vez que se dispare el segundo, el proceso de recarga del primero se reinicia.
Puedes disparar el segundo cañón luego de una pequeña demora. Esta demora es bien conocida por los jugadores de vehiculos con autocargadores, porque se parece al tiempo de espera de recargar entre un proyectil y otro. Si alguna vez jugaron con autorrecargadores italianos, entonces ya saben bien cómo funciona.
Estos dos modos de disparo pueden compararse con la mecánica de los autorrecargadores italianos. Solo imaginen que su cargador puede albergar tan solo dos proyectiles. El resto es lo mismo: si disparan el segundo cañón mientras el primero todavía está cargando, el proceso de carga se reinicia.
Disparo doble: como el nombre lo indica, implica disparar ambos cañones al mismo tiempo. Todo lo que necesitan hacen es mantener presionado el botón izquierdo del mouse para que comience la preparación de la descarga. Una vez preparada (demorará unos segundos), la descarga se producirá de manera automática. Tengan en cuenta que luego de un disparo doble ambos cañones se bloquearán y no comenzarán el proceso de recarga hasta después de unos segundos. Luego, comenzarán a recargar de manera alternativa. 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!

KRZYBooP: For some additional Help with verifying your/ family member status.  https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/announcements/wot-salute-program-announcement/

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! The general idea behind the redesign is to reduce the map's excessive linearity in those locations where it can provide an additional effect to gameplay variety. Based on this key concept, two redesign options are currently in the works.
Option 1:1) The central hill with houses has been reworked. Now you can roll onto it and control a pretty considerable part of the map. This constitutes a vital part of the gameplay now.The houses under the hill have been either removed or transferred onto the hill to prevent heavy player separation along the direction.2) The entire south-west has been reworked into a more open area with both the possibility of quick attacks and flank maneuvers as well as concealment. 3) The mountains near the bases have been revised—now they can be used to maintain defense.  
Option 2:In terms of global changes: all the shrubbery has been removed from the map, there is nothing but trees now. Only felled trees can be used for concealment now.1) The HT zone has been connected to the central zone via a passage. 2) Additional safer passages towards the bases have been added to the HT zone. They pass along the edges of the map, allowing for a greater flexibility of movement.3) Due to terrain changes, the mountains near the bases can now be partially traversed. Now these zones can be used to maintain defense.4) Only destructible buildings have been left in the central part of the village.5) The terrain has been slightly reworked. The elevations have been flattened to allow for more secure retreats.6) A mountain that was previously impassable has been made traversable.    The future of the Pearl River map changes depends on the outcome of testing.

The_Chieftain:  ID.me does have a verification option for family members, my wife's in. Once the family member has an account, come back to WG, and do the same association mechanism (eg Account management, right  side) as the servicemember.  Then log into the game. 

The_Chieftain:  There's a reason we said "honorably served" in the announcement. The ID.me system is capable of distinguishing dishonorable from other  forms of service, and the attempt will be rejected. I don't know if you'll ever need them, but if you have a look at https://shop.id.me/offers?groups%5B%5D=military  you'll see a good argument for using them anyway. I've saved a few thousand dollars through this system, and the other related companies. 

The_Chieftain:  You give your SSN out to plenty of other private companies, I'm sure. How many of those other companies do the US Government use for verification? It's up to you, but for general purposes, it qualifies as 'safe enough'.

MA77: Saudações! Qual a operadora de vocês? Durante o período de uma semana, algumas apresentaram problemas em suas conexões e afetou alguns serviços.  

The_Chieftain:  You asked for an endorsement, I gave you one,  Knave gave you one. Seriously. Go to the VA.Gov website. Click "Sign in". See where it says "Sign in with ID.me" or "Create an account with ID.me?" Look, it's no skin off my nose if you want to continue to not trust verification sites like these. It's your dollars you are wasting. But if the department of the US government whose function it is to look after US veterans is using it to verify who their own veterans are, I think that's as good an endorsement as any you could ask for. As for everyone else, they can form their own opinions from the above exchange if they wish to use ID.me. Or they can google something like "Is ID.me legit?"
