The_Chieftain: Yeah,I also am unconvinced by the name, and I doubt Marines would be massively pleased. With the two antennae , it’s more of a bug anyway.   As to the tank, I have had some successful games with it, to the point that I can carry games, but I do find it is necessary for prodigious use of the premium ammo key. Witness the first game in this stream. https://www.facebook.com/WorldOfTanks.NA/videos/1504036533036063/

Lert: Very nice, Dinbatu. Good color scheme too!   I did some more work on my Oddball build:   First though, I cut up the four-link spare track segment that came with the Sherman, cut some brackets from plasticard and attached them to the sides of the turret like where in the movie spare track is kept



Very crude and not very detailed, but meh. It'll do.

Then finished applying the base coat:



Dry brushed some gun metal:



Black wash:



Sepia wash:



Not pictured: The tracks were dry brushed heavily with gun metal, then a bit lighter with rust color, then a heavy sepia wash was applied.

I liberally applied all washes to simulate all the dirt, Oddball said in the movie he liked to keep his tanks dirty so it looked like they came directly from the front lines.

And that's where it sits now.

Mezurashi: Moved to off topic.

DomoSapien: Hmm... definitely odd.

I'd uninstall, run a registry sweep with CCleaner,  then boot Windows into Safe Mode with Networking and reinstall while you're in Safe Mode.

The_Chieftain: It’s a relatively common fitting. Often known as a Legality Plank in Formula 1, it is one of those things which gets inspected after the race, and it is well known that if the plank is too worn, the vehicle will be disqualified. 0.2mm will do it, let alone 1.2.

The_Chieftain: The average human response to a stimulus is a quarter second, for reference.

MA77:   Ainda está em testes e não há previsão para seu lançamento, Zokeni.

CabbageMechanic: Hey folks,
  Check Jambijon's post here for an update.

See you on the battlefield!

CabbageMechanic:   Long story short, some confusion in the planning hand-off between old team and new team.  Should be resolved for all future On Tracks, thanks moogle and others who brought this to our attention.

 

CabbageMechanic:  
Right?  I tried to make the case but it was too late  

MA77: Oi Bandeira,   Algumas contas receberam as premiações ou apenas as mensagens das mesmas mas não as compensações, o problema ocorreu devido a falha em nosso sistema. 

Foi um problema técnico pontual e que logo foi solucionado. Estamos apurando os usuários que receberam os itens indevidamente pelo problema e com isso estudaremos as ações necessárias.

Pedimos desculpa pelo incidente.

Gnomon: Hey everyone! 
  I just wanted to give you an update on the On Track event.    We heard and understood your concerns, and the On Track has been changed from the T57 Heavy Tank to the Bat.-Châtillon 25 t. This will be from May 11th to the 25th. The portal article was also updated with this info.   Thanks!   

DomoSapien:   Hmm, I can certainly bring up the suggestion in our next team sync. I think it would be cool if WG Employees had a Sheriff Camo pattern they could take on/off of their tanks which would enable/disable Sheriff status. I don't mind being focused every now and then (let's be real, happens enough just because of the WGA tags ) but I would certainly like the ability to disable it.

As for community Sheriffs, it's a cool idea. Would be hard to keep them accountable, however. I did hear of some WGLNA folks breaking some rules on their Sheriff accounts a few years ago. We like to err on the side of caution whenever we can, and that was a learning experience for us.

MA77: Saudações!   Estamos chegando perto de ver o K-91 e o Object 277 no jogo. Caso você tenha esquecido, estes são os misteriosos tanques de nível X que você vê na Árvore Tecnológica Soviética. Nós estamos terminamos de definir seus estilos de jogo e logo todos poderão experimentá-los. Os testes do Superteste mostraram que estes veículos são viáveis, então vamos nos ater aos seus conceitos iniciais: um tanque de suporte médio (o K-91) e um tanque pesado móvel de assalto (o Object 277).   No entanto, agora que terminamos com os veículos de alto nível, agora temos que retocar seus antecessores! Hoje, o Object 430 Versão II entra no Superteste. Este veículo vai mudar muito. Atualmente, o Object 430 Versão II é um veículo ideal para combate próximo com armaduras decentes e danos, mas com parâmetros de direcionamento bastante medíocres. A versão que acaba de entrar no Superteste é como um elo perdido entre o Object 416 e o K-91: uma torre localizada na parte de trás com um poderoso canhão e uma ótima estabilização. Com menos blindagem e menos pontos de vida (1.600), o novo Object 430 Versão II irá parar de lutar de perto para se tornar um sniper ágil que se mova pelo mapa.     Por que estamos redefinindo o Object 430 versão II? O Object 416 é um tanque muito popular entre os jogadores, então decidimos adotar seu estilo de jogo para toda a linha de tanques médios soviéticos com torre traseira.   Esperamos que isso lhe dê uma idéia de como será o estilo de jogo dos tanques acima mencionados. Forneceremos mais detalhes sobre as especificações finais antes de apresentar esses tanques ao jogo. E quando será isso? Muito em breve: neste Outono.   Não deixe de acompanhar as novidades em nosso site e vamos nos certificar de manter os tanques de teste!

DomoSapien: To my knowledge we only have 2 active Sheriffs at this moment: Trobs and Junkers.

They aren't always on their Sheriff accounts, either, so running into one is currently pretty rare.

During our "Hunt the Pros" events, we have WGLNA Players running Sheriff accounts as well. 

So no, it's not a scam, there just isn't a large volume of them out right now. Although honestly, doesn't that word imply that someone is trying to unfairly gain something from you? We aren't asking you to do anything other than play the game as you normally would

DomoSapien: Thanks for participating in the discussion, everyone! 

Any maps in particular you'd like to see featured in next week's guide? 

Also: any feedback about the guides themselves? Anything I should do more? Less? The screenshots take a really long time to edit, so if y'all aren't particularly benefiting from them I wouldn't mind making them a bit less detailed.

Jambijon:  

Jambijon:   That's correct!  I have another account I use for testing and I'm still grinding up this line on my personal account.

KRZYBooP:   Thank you very much for the feedback. I will be sure to forward this along. Since there is many great ideas that I agree with and would personally like to see. However, I am just a Forum Jocky and don't fully know of all the limitations, or if there is a specific reason why sales happen the way they do.    While yes bundles do come with a bunch of extra's that some players don't like, there is a solo option to buy the Tank coming soon. There was also an event for players to purchase the brand new tank at a discount if players had the time. Yea it's probably not going to be easy since Wargaming is doing this for a brand new Tier VIII Premium tank. If other tanks in the past never got a solo purchase chance you can see that Wargaming does change it up it's sales. I am saying this again for everyone quoted to be sure that it is known about this Tank in particular. I can't control what happened in the past but if there is anything to take away from Wargaming is that this is a very adaptable company.    Feedback from players is put into the game. 9.18 was brought to you by global feedback for all Tanks including Arty. Range indicators, alternate Arty views, and Match Maker changes are all started from player concerns. Some changes are more welcomed than others obviously and there is no way to make every player ecstatic about them. If you would like to assist in the future of the game then please take part in our common Test, or Sandbox tests.    I use gold to buy equipment cause I am bad at the game. Have you seen my stats? My credits go towards ammo and repairs constantly.    @Dymitri- Which link to purchase the Tank wasn't working? Did you try a separate browser?    Everyone who has this tank already enjoying it? Stoked to use it in the Frontline battle mode?

DomoSapien: Two sets of holiday missions in one weekend!? This is madness!

Madness... this is..-! Oh, sorry, wrong movie.    We've got two special days to celebrate this weekend! The first, today, is a pop-culture favorite: May 4th. Honestly, if you don't know what this is.. what kind of nerd are you? Go watch Star Wars right now. And once you're done, take on some in-game missions to celebrate the occasion.    Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo! Our content guys left a witty little pop quiz in the article for ya, so I won't give this one away. (Protip: the answer is not "C" )

To get the full list of missions, check out this article!

Gnomon: Howdy Boom Jockies!  Hope you are having a great Friday! I wanted to let you know about a couple of Soviet tanks and the supertest. 
First off, the K91 and the Object 277 are even closer to arriving in the game. 
In case you don't remember, these are the mysterious Tier X tanks in the Soviet tech-tree, currently in storage and under wraps. But, we’ll be showing them to the world soon enough as we’re almost done defining their roles in the game. The Supertests have shown these tanks’ viability, and we’ll stick to the initial concepts: a fire-support medium (the K91) and a mobile-assault heavy (the Object 277).
Since we’ve dealt with the top tier vehicles, let's talk about their predecessors! Today, we’re launching the Supertest for the Object 430 Version II. Currently, the Object 430 Version II is a close-range fighter (with decent armor and alpha) but mediocre aiming. The Supertest version is like a (now found) missing link between the Object 416 and the K91: a rear-turret medium with an excellent gun featuring good stabilization. With only a small amount of armor, and a smaller HP pool (down to 1600), the new Object 430 Version II will leave brawling behind, excelling at being a very agile sniper that moves constantly around the map.   Why are we redefining the Object 430 Version II this way, you may ask? Well, the Object 416 is very popular with players, so we have decided to adopt its gameplay as a model for the entire Soviet rear-turret mediums branch.
We hope this has given you an idea of the tanks mentioned above (based on their gameplay roles). We’ll share their final specs shortly before they show up in the game. When will it happen? Relatively soon, close to this summer.
Make sure to follow the news on the official site, and we’ll make sure to keep supertesting tanks and keeping you updated. Let us know what you think!  See you on the battlefield! 

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, tanquistas!   Estamos cada vez más cerca de ver al K-91 y al Object 277 dentro del juego. En caso de que lo hayan olvidado, estos son los tanques de nivel X misteriosos que ven en el Árbol Tecnológico soviético. Casi terminamos de definir sus estilos de juego y pronto todos podrán probarlos. Las pruebas del Supertest demostraron que estos vehículos son viables, así que nos apegaremos a sus conceptos iniciales: un tanque mediano de soporte (el K-91) y un tanque pesado móvil de asalto (el Object 277).   Sin embargo, ahora que terminamos con los vehículos de nivel alto, ¡ahora nos toca retocar a sus predecesores! En el día de hoy, el Object 430 Version II ingresa al Supertest. Este vehíuclo cambiará bastante. Actualmente, el Object 430 Version II es un vehículo ideal para el combate cercano con un blindaje y daño decentes, pero con parámetros de apuntamiento bastante mediocres. La versión que acaba de ingresar al Supertest es como un eslabón perdido entre el Object 416 y el K-91: una torreta ubicada en la parte trasera con un cañón poderoso y una gran estabilización. Con menor blindaje y menos puntos de vida (1.600), el nuevo Object 430 Version II dejará combatir de cerca para pasar a ser un francotirador ágil que se mueve por todo el mapa.     ¿Por qué estamos redefiniendo al Object 430 Version II? El Object 416 es un tanque muy popular entre los jugadores, así que decidimos adoptar su estilo de juego para toda la línea de tanque medianos soviéticos con torreta trasera.   Esperamos que esto les de una idea de cómo será el estilo de juego de los tanques mencionados. Brindaremos más detalles sobre las especificaciones finales antes de introducir estos tanques al juego. ¿Y cuándo será eso? Bastante pronto: este otoño.   ¡Asegúrense de seguir las noticias en nuestro portal y nosotros nos aseguraremos de seguir probando tanques!  

CabbageMechanic: I'll be dusting off the M4 Derpman later to go meatball hunting, here's hoping for one shots

CabbageMechanic: My first was the CAX, because I was in love with the Cromwell and had just figured out Super Crews.  I still play it a fair amount, but I generally find I get more out of the Fatton playing the same role now.  One of the best looking tanks in my garage for sure though.

MA77: Oi Gallhardo,   O AMX CDC deve ser jogado como suporte, na segunda ou terceira linha de combate e nunca na primeira. Veja o vídeo abaixo para entender um pouco melhor como ele funciona:

DomoSapien: Hey everyone, we've got some folks having trouble pulling up the bundle on the store page. We're looking into it, please bear with us!
  Your patience in the meantime is greatly appreciated <3  

Jambijon: Hey Tankers! With the On Track for the Centurion Action X event running I wanted to do the same thing I did with the T110E5 On Track.  Of course, I’m no means a pro but I just wanted to share my experiences and opinions about the pros and cons I found with the line.Like always, criticism and/or advice that may help others grinding through the line is very much appreciated!  To start, the Action X line was, to say the least, challenging but extremely fun. On track credit discounts:Tiers I - V 50% discount Tiers VI - X 30% discountCurrent credit prices for Tiers I - X:Free! 1,900 20,500 55,000 190,000 630,000 945,350 1,645,000 3,515,500 4,270,000 Configuration comparison of different loadouts.  *Crew bonuses or equipment modifiers not included on all comparisons. Tier VI Cromwell:  Pros:SPEEDY Decent gun depression A platoon of 3 is a force to be reckoned with Runs circles around slower tanks (flanking nightmare) Good DPmCons:Armor?

(Very thin, not sloped very well) Module/Crew damage should be expected Can’t mount Vertical Stabilizer Inaccurate gun   My Research Path: Engine Tracks Gun Turret Gun - Howitzer for fun Engine Gun Radio   The Cromwell, and it's premium counterpart the Cromwell B, are among my favorite medium tanks.  Seriously, if you haven't had the pleasure of running 3 Cromwell's in a platoon I highly recommend you do it and experience the power of the wolf pack swarm.  It's speed will tempt you to push far into enemy territory so it's best to resist the urge unless you are certain you have adequate cover and an escape plan.  Fantastic reload time and the shells are pretty cheap too so don't be afraid to talk your "pot shots."   Tier VII Comet:       Pros: Amazing gun depression Punishable high rate of fire and with good accuracy to boot Decent speed Did I say gun depression? (-12 degrees)  Cons: Very thin armor and flat angles Unreliable gun penetration  Traverse speed is very slow   My Research Path: Engine Tracks Turret Gun (77mm) Radio   The Comet is easily becoming one my go to "lets have some fun" tank.  I'm a sucker for anything -10 degrees or less gun depression.  There's nothing worse when you barely hit a slight incline when engaging someone and your shell sails over them like a joke from Frasier told to a 5 year old.   Tier VIII Centurion I:       Pros: Like its predecessor, excellent gun depression Ridge line warrior Great pen on top tier gun Good turret armor once upgraded Cons: Hull armor seems non-existent Aim time is pretty high on top gun Bad concealement Prone to module damage Stock grind is a nightmare   My Research Path: Tracks Turret Engine Gun - (Saved up for A Barrel) Engine Radio   Coming from the Comet it is a little odd jumping into the Centurion I.  They play pretty similar but it feels like the great things you had in the Comet (speed/gun handling) are sluggish.  However, the top tier gun feels really good.  I rarely found myself in a situation where it was logical to use premium rounds.  There's nothing ground breaking about this tank but it is fun to play for sure and especially if you like playing the ridge line.  I recommend having an auto fire extinguisher equipped.  This thing loves fire.   Tier IX Centurion 7/1:     Pros: -10 degrees of gun depression Top tier gun is just amazing High pen HESH shells Great turret armor Good acceleration  Cons: Large body for a medium Low concealment Shot bloom on the move or turning is very large DPM takes a hit from the reload time Susceptible to crew/module damage   My Research Path: Gun Tracks Turret Engine Gun (105mm) Engine Radio   I generally can't stand having an extremely slow engine when I'm grinding a new tank but I was pleasantly surprised at the stock version of the Centurion 7/1.  It's not a pain to grind through at all in my opinion.  The stock gun is definitely "doable" though you may want to go for the B Barrel for the extra DPM. It may have a slower top speed but it gets up hills just fine and that's the main priority for this tank.  Also, the HESH rounds are just mean and I love them, but they are expensive.     Tier X Centurion Action X:       Pros: Great gun depression High alpha with good accuracy  Excellent turret traverse Handles different terrain really well Heavily armored and sloped turret Cons: Giant hull with thing armor Low concealment  Ammo rack and tracks gets hit a lot   Though I haven't had a lot of time with the Action X I can say that progressing through the line definitely prepares you for its play style.  Like the tanks before, you are going to be sticking to cover and ridge lines while you snipe.  I haven't had much positive experiences using this tank to "brawl" up close with other mediums.  That's not to say it can't be done, I may have just not gotten the hang of it.  However, the gun is fantastic (when stationary).  The shell velocity is great and makes it pretty easy to lead your shots on moving targets.  That's it!  Hope my experiences were able to help you out in any way! Though I don't agree with everything he says, Quickybaby has a really solid review of the Centurion Action X:       

KRZYBooP:   I Exchange gold all the time to equip my tank, and I was only trying to provide information following up another players comment about discounted goods in the bundle. Comparing credits to gold to real money, at no point is anyone trying to change your mind about purchasing the bundle. My apologies if it seems like I am trying to con our players into buying Tanks as that is not the intent.    How would you bundle a premium Tank with some boosters for a player to buy?
