Felipe6666Original:  Como conocí todos los juegos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (o parcialmente basados en ella, como es el caso de WoT) que jugué hasta ahora: buscando en Wikipedia (así de noob era lo mío, ahora simplemente uso medios más tradicionales). Una mezcla de esfuerzo, suerte y búsqueda de rumbo, no fue un solo hecho en concreto. ¿Metas? Varias, pero ninguna que pueda compartir para no romper corazones si no lo logro eventualmente. La sigo teniendo, solo que ya no la uso (uso la de WGA ahora): Felipe6666 (muy original lo mío, ¿no?). No tanto, no hay mucho tiempo que digamos para jugar como en otras épocas. ¡Gracias! ¡Todavía falta mucho!  ¡Saludos!

DomoSapien: in fairness, the content guys were the first to start joking about it with the title for their article: "M4 Improved: Truth in Advertising"

1984BigBrother: Tankers, The Global Map will be frozen for 48 hours starting at 7 AM CT October 9th. This is for patch 1.6.1, notes listed here:

DomoSapien: Tankers, if you haven't noticed by now, the first ever Tank Festival has drawn to a close! We had tons of stuff going on for the duration of the festival, from Frontline episodes, to Steel Hunter, Festival Calendar Sales, Dog Tag collections, Minigames, and a special garage featuring the Offspring!

There's way too much to cover in this thread, so make sure you check out the article on our news portal for all the details. For a behind-the-scenes look at our efforts in preparing for the Tank Festival, check out the video below.

 What did you think of the Tank Festival overall? What were some of your favorite events? Anything you'd like to see making a comeback next year? Suggestions? Critiques? Improvements? We'd love to hear your thoughts on this project so we can make it even better next year!

...in fairness, we haven't announced whether or not the Tank Festival will return in 2020 but considering how successful the event was, I think it's a pretty safe bet  

TheTrustedLlama: Hey Everyone! Quick update for this thread. The most recent OS for Mac, Catalina 10.15 is completely incompatible with the current Mac Wrapper for World of Tanks. If you have Catalina 10.15 you will be unable to play World of Tanks at this time. While World of Tanks is still not officially supported for Mac systems, our development team is working to get an updated version of the wrapper up and available as soon as possible.

DomoSapien: Tankers, our content guys also wanted me to inform you about the M4 "Improved" going on sale! I'm going to put the word "Improved" in quotes every time I mention it because... let's be honest, the only "improvement" is the slight angling on the turret armor.
To keep things fun, I'm going to host a little contest and giveaway a few of them. Basically, the rules are simple and open-ended. My favorite M4 Improved meme will get an M4 Improved and a Tank Festival style to go with it. Please keep things appropriate for the forums and make sure the memes don't violate any of our content standards.
For the scoop on the M4 improved bundles, check out this article. Please submit your entries before 00:00 Central on October 16th.
 

DomoSapien: Tankers, our content team has posted a handy infographic detailing what we've got in store for you this Fall!
I can't repost the infographic without losing all the fancy content it contains so make sure you head over to the news portal to check out the article!

KRZYBooP: Thank you everyone for your feedback concerning Frontlines. 
Our Developers do look at the problems mentioned above including the rate of Attackers winning. This is why the traits for Tanks were swapped to give Heavy Tanks three consumables as opposed to one when the mode first launched.  Heavy Tanks are used for defense more and need more advantages compared to the speedy tanks that can platoon up and wreak havoc on a flank.  I will be sure to pass this feedback along. Good luck out there

Felipe6666Original:  El anuncio llegó tarde (recién hoy fue publicado), pero como dice BLotus,1989, los premios serán acreditados antes del 11 de octubre dado que dedicaremos estos días a descalificar a quienes hayan logrado sus resultados rompiendo las reglas o arreglando partidas, pero contrario a lo que indica phicqa, las recompensas serán entregadas en simultáneo, no hay distinción para eso entre regiones. Gracias a todos por sus opiniones y sugerencias (énfasis en la parte de sugerencias para IIPravdaII). ¡Saludos!

 La técina que prefieras  ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  ¿Qué tienen que ver todos estos planteos con el propósito del hilo? Por favor (si así lo deseas), copia y pega esto para publicarlo aquí antes de que sea eliminado por desvirtuar el tema del hilo. ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  En efecto, dejar el enlace a donde esté alojada (como hicieron otro más arriba) también es válido  ¡Saludos!

TeriyakiTanker: Understand now but that still isn't a complete rework of the game.  I am guessing it is going to be a while before we see that go live.

TeriyakiTanker: Why are you even thinking this is a thing?  I haven't even heard them talk about it.

LargeForeignObject: I'm assuming you mean this tournament: https://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/MTAwMDAwMTA5Mg==/It was not moved nor canceled, it went as planned.

The_Chieftain:  i. Yes, but as the link in the last quotation observes, there are usually various small fights scattered around the map. Three v Three, Four v Four and so on. Or, if one team is switched on, four v three or three v one. The principle remains valid, and it is why platoons of meds are normally feared: They normally work together.ii. Why not? Over a century ago, people realised you did not have to mass personnel in order to mass firepower. The whole point about the square  law is that it is -ranged-. An artillery piece which is weighing in on one of those small fights is still a "+1" to the number of vehicles doing combat, every bit as much as a TD 400m behind the line or a heavy tank right around the corner from the enemy. And, of course, both sides have artillery.iii. True, and there's no accounting for such vagaries. On the other hand, it's not as if it happens every time either, so for most purposes, this can be discarded. For planning/general principles, one can ignore this. If you fight 100 battles the same way, using the same tactics, on average, are you better or worse off? That's the best you can look for.iv. No, they simply add to the relative weight of fire. Just as an M48 will add more than a Type 59, a tooled up Leopard 1 will add more than a stock Leopard 1. It is not necessary to calculate specific values in order to understand that the cumulative effect of all fires being placed is what counts against the cumulative force facing. A BT-7 might be enough to tip the difference between a tooled-up T110E4 on the enemy team and a stock one on the near team. 

The_Chieftain:  Yes, but why would you focus on 1 v 1 duels? You should not be fighting on your own, you should be working as a group, preferably one which outnumbers the opposition. Plus as more vehicles get involved, the less important the relative superiority of a single vehicle becomes. Otherwise, whichever team has the best player in the best vehicle will always win. Obviously, that does not necessarily happen. 

The_Chieftain:  An excellent link, and I actually use a very similar "after X many salvos" example in my video.

The_Chieftain: The argument is that there aren't quite as many B-17s as there are, say, 737s or 172s, and they are more likely to survive for the ages if in a hangar properly equipped with fire suppression and so on. I'm not entirely a believer in this argument, they were not made to sit around in a hangar gathering dust, and as long as we have both airworthy and non-airworthy aircraft, I think they should continue to be flown. There will come a point, however, that the aircraft are so rare that the argument for doing everything possible for preservation starts to meet up with the argument for flying them.

The_Chieftain:  The mathematics on firepower remain the same, no matter the quality of the players being deleted. Whether one removes the best or the worst player first, you still end up with a superiority of fire which enables the avelanche effect.

Felipe6666Original: Bien, dos problemas sobre los que quiero comentar: Sobre las recompensas del evento anterior, seguimos trabajando en encontrar una solución. Desgraciadamente, reactivarlo no es una opción por problemas técnicos, así que muy probablemente utilizaremos un método alterno (y daremos suficiente tiempo) para que todos puedan reclamar sus premios en base a los puntos alcanzados (incluidos los ganados el 30 de septiembre). Respecto del problema que no se muestran bien los puntos en el evento actual, no crean que no están contando, simplemente el sistema que los refleja tiene una demora considerable con la actualización de los puntos (que estamos intentando solucionar también).  ¡Saludos!

CabbageMechanic: Howdy Boom Jockeys! I am totally informing my amazing players of some of the Changes being implemented in 1.6.1. This is definitely not KRZYBooP hijacking the thread.  Main Changes Multinational Vehicles Players can change the nation of some Premium vehicles. These include well-known captured vehicles, vehicles supplied under Lend-Lease, and vehicles representative of historical and cultural heritage — such as the Polish T-34-85 Rudy. The feature allows players to complete missions with national restrictions. Upon changing the vehicle's nation, players can use the Crews, equipment, and consumables of the corresponding nation. A player's configuration of the vehicle for another nation (Crew, mounted equipment) can be saved, and the operation of switching between nations is free. The legendary T-34-85 Rudy is the first multinational vehicle and players can switch between the U.S.S.R. and Poland. Changes to Ranked Battles Changed the qualification logic: Added Bonus Battles for the number of Chevrons according to the qualification results. Made some balance changes to the system of role experience. Implemented bonuses to Combat XP and Bonds for high performance upon passing the qualification. Exterior Added new styles available for Gold in the Exterior interface: The School Series (American School, Soviet School, etc.): One style per nation. Ranger: A universal 2D style for all nations for all vehicle types. Fixed Issues The Operation: Object 279 (e) Campaign mission Union-6. Don't Stop Me Now is updated. The Commander's voiceover in Frontline mode is fixed. Removed the button (X) of switching the movement/shooting modes in postmortem. The Situational Awareness effect is correctly displayed in the vehicle comparison interface. Distinguished Service medal display is fixed. The Artillery Strike impact area display when playing in autoreloader vehicles in Frontline mode is fixed. The mismatch of the number of Base capture points in the battle performance badge and in the Battle Results is fixed. Fixed the issue where base capture time did not update after leaving the zone and then driving back into it. Fixed the issue of the hull lock not working for tank destroyers after playing a wheeled vehicle in Frontline mode. Added detailed descriptions for Combat Reserves in the window displayed via right-click. Considerably decreased client hanging when researching vehicles and modules. Vehicles for special modes are no longer displayed as appropriate for completing Missions. Known Issues Players can re-train Crew members to special vehicles currently not available in the game. There is no protection from spam-clicking on the minimap. Vehicle type icons in the extended vehicle panels do not change their color dynamically, when selecting the Colorblind mode in battle. The order of events for received damage is sometimes mixed up in the damage log. The text of Mission conditions is not displayed in the congratulation window, provided that the required vehicle type is specified in the Mission conditions. The client cannot be maximized to the full-screen mode, provided that the player is having a Skype call. The vehicle tiers in the screen displayed upon pressing TAB are not centered relative to the vehicle icons. When a vehicle hits the ground without damaging modules, the sound of taking damage is played. Shaking aiming circle in the 16x and 25x magnifications in the Siege Mode during the Frontline battles. The reticle indicator remains on the SPG after switching to the Artillery mode, if a vehicle partially intersects the red line. Events at the end of the battle are not synchronized with the text of the battle result. In some cases, automatic repair/replenishment of ammo and consumables after a battle does not take place, when the amount of credits on the account is sufficient. In some cases, fallen trees fall through the terrain. The consumables are not replenished from the Depot, if the player does not have enough credits for a complete automatic ammunition resupply. Notifications about crediting WoT Premium Account compensation for server downtime are missing in some cases. When previewing a bundle in the Store, the compensation value for a rented vehicle is displayed. The Battle Results are missing information about deducting Bonds in case of automatic resupply of Directives. In some cases, when playing in Platoon and changing the map blacklist, it is not updated. Vehicles take damage when ramming into stationary objects on the map (a tree, rock, or house) after falling from a small height. The Ranked Battles award class for Seasonal Crusade and Citius, Altius, Fortius! are displayed inappropriately on the Portal.   For more information on the changes click HERE   Good luck to Everyone on the battlefield, I will be giving KRZY a promotion cause he's my favorite.    

Einzelganger7: Or why not this one? I think it could fit better during a battle, the other two are more like victory songs after the match. 

Einzelganger7: I'd like as well an Accept-based German tank named the "Teutonic Terror". 

Felipe6666Original: Bien, sobre dos de los temas que aquí se plantearon y de los que prometí intentar alcanzar a responsables de las áreas correspondientes: Sobre que los jugadores nuevos tengan acceso a una especie de lista con Comandantes disponibles y así tener con quién jugar (a grandes rasgos es eso, ya sé que es más extenso): tenemos la intención de tener algo como esto, pero la característica todavía no está ni en la etapa de prototipo, sino de desarrollo conceptual. Sobre la disponibilidad de estilos exclusivos de vehículos premium adquiridos que vía el panal de personalización: vamos a plantearlo para evaluar la posibilidad de otra característica que está en desarrollo.  ¡Saludos! P.D.: Sí, obtener respuestas es algo lento, pero no es falta de voluntad de alguna de las partes, es simplemente que todos tenemos responsabilidades que requieren más atención que otras en el día a día.

Felipe6666Original:  Podría serlo, sí, pero también quería promocionar a nuestro nuevo miembro  ¡Saludos!

JayStark02: Closing thread due to political posts.

LargeForeignObject: Sorry for the long wait.Yes, we do have a decision: all players from this tournament will be credited with 3 days of WoT premium. Those premium days should be invoiced on Friday, October 4th, at 12pm CT.

DomoSapien: This is a known issue and Customer Support is looking into a solution.

DomoSapien:
Yes, the 3D skin is removable, if it's not your cup of tea. 

I think it looks awesome in-game, having the full drum kit on the back of the turret and all the extra speakers etc. is pretty awesome imo To each his own, however!
