The_Chieftain:   You, sir, are one of the few who agrees with me. I've always thought that the 'nerf' was something of a wash overall. When they decreased the front hull armor (which you shouldn't be relying on in a US tank, let alone one with huge turret weak spots), they buffed the speed and accuracy. Then they buffed it again. I couldn't believe my luck. (Then they did the same thing to M103)

dance210:   If you only play one match per round, the system isn't smart enough to "know" if you played attack or defense. Theoretically, that means it's possible for one team to be stuck on attack or defense for the entire night.   The only way around that would be to play two matches per round, that way each teams plays one attack and one defense. A team would need to win both matches in order to earn the 3 points for a victory.

GhostPrime:   I apologize about your experience, not all in game items are the same across the two clients. We do have separate codes and are region specific. I'll shoot you a Pm. 

The_Chieftain: The TD re-work?   Right. I'm in Honolulu probably Tue 27 Feb or Wed 28th. Need to find a beer...

GhostPrime: Thanks for the good suggestion! I'm moving this thread over to the suggestions section where it can gain more traction.

Njourour: Closed thread, This will cause unrest. 

GhostPrime:     Yes we are! You will See both [WGA-A] and [WGA-B] in our titles! See you on the battlefield! 

GhostPrime: Thanks for sharing this video! That was Lucky! 

Njourour: Closed thread, This will cause unrest.

GhostPrime: Hey Guys, please send in a ticket to report this. If you have a pingplotter report generated it would help a lot, if that thats fine, they have a tool that will collect that info. 

dance210: Trying out Attack/Defense for CtA would definitely be interesting.   Would having it go longer be something that would prevent teams from participating?    

The_Chieftain: I have never experienced a misfire. I have, however, experienced a separated case. After a series of rapid fire, we attempted to clear the gun, but trying to pull the rim out resulted in the casing getting stuck. Realising that pulling the case out would result in propellant all over the tank, we kicked it back in, and pretended like the gun was clear for a few days, until we found a safe part of the countryside to fire the round off without attracting much attention.

GhostPrime:   ​Hello! Welcome to World of tanks PC, and the World of Tanks forums! 

GhostPrime:   I understand what you mean, totally. Games are meant to be fun, and just get out there and have it! I think the pressure comes from worrying what our peers think of someone's stats.  The idea is to have fun, and blow up some tanks. Good luck out there! 

dance210:   My forum is the WoT PC forum, which I'm super hyped to start being more active in

dance210:   Hello Agent_K_!   For the Weekly 5v5, the top 2 teams in each group move on to the Upper Playoffs; teams ranked 3 - 6 in each group move on to the Lower Playoffs. The standings on GosuTactics don't really match up 100% with Upper/Lower Playoffs.

GhostPrime: Great Idea! Thank you for doing this! 

Saffr0n:   This is caused by your GPU having an issue rendering some textures.    Check to see if your Intel HD graphics received a recent driver update Lower your graphics settings Use the SD client

dance210:   Hi tiegermp!   The Platournament is a one day tournament and is officially complete.   The dates are based off your local computer time. So it is very possible if the tournament end time is set for the next day local time, it will show the tournament as two days for you (e.g. tournament set end time is 10 pm PT / 1 am ET may cause the system to say it's Feb 14-15 for anyone using Eastern time).   Hope that helps!

The_Chieftain:   Not as good as we would like, but I did get an email yesterday saying that we have crossed the tipping point in favour of off-set printing.

The_Chieftain:   it's what hasn't been mentioned in the media is the nasty bit.  Briefings to the response forces yesterday were talking about potential flooding of Sacramento. There was a reason that the State mobilized 8,000 Guardsmen.  Basically every unit North of Bakersfield. That is a huge mobilization. 

The_Chieftain:   I can see arguments all ways. My Audi is 12 years old, I haven't made a payment on it in six or seven years. (Maintenance is another matter). The SL was bought just under three years in, 28k miles, at well under half sticker price. That said, I'm looking at replacing the VW with a lease. I like the idea of my daily driver being always within warranty, and the price seems better than that of buying new and trading after three/four years.

The_Chieftain: That's a good question. I haven't set one up yet.   Although it occurs to me that the Army has moved by Wednesday evening conference call to Thursday, so this may not work out this week anyway and will have to shove right a week. Maybe I need to ask over in CR/D.

The_Chieftain: Hang on, who are you suggesting is doing the forcing? Nobody is claiming that this 'car-of-the-month' club or whatever you want to call Caddy's MaaS system, is going to be forced upon anyone. That's another topic entirely from cities which as a matter of policy (either supported by Uber or not) are trying to reduce the amount of cars on their streets.

The_Chieftain:   I'm viewing this from the perspective of a person who lives where there is no parking issue, and I still think it's a good idea. Example, one serious concern of mine is that I'm able to get over the Sierra Nevadas every month to get to drill. It's the primary reason I keep my old Audi S4 in the garage. (That and sentimentality). I keep winter tyres on it instead of the summer grip machines it's supposed to be driven on and came with. I'm a divorced dad. Every now and then, not often, but every now and then, I need to have something to carry daughter around in, maybe with fiancee as well. That means four-seater. Which is also my commuter vehicle, boring though it may be. But I like things that go vroom, and want a V8 when I'm on my own (Fortunately so does fiancee). So I have at my house three cars. The Audi, used less than once a month, the boring cheap sedan, and a high-power roadster. That suddenly starts accumulating a fair few dollars a month in expenses, insurance, and so on. Wheras if Chevy started doing this, I could end up with a Tahoe the occasional snowy weekend, a Corvette convertible for the summer when my daughter is away with her mom, and a boring Malibu (or SS) for family use when she's around, and if for some reason I need a pick-up truck, a Silverado. All new, and without any maintenance or insurance costs, and eating only one parking space. That starts to seriously redress the cost imbalance.   A lot of cities are trying to reduce cars in them as a matter of policy. Some use congestion or smog fees within city limits. Others, like San Francisco, are using parking spaces and road capacity. Even without restricting parking deliberately, San Francisco is a terrible place to find parking for one car, let alone two. Average monthly fees for one car is $400. This is probably why Caddy has picked NYC as the test case: If there's any place in the US where there is merit to the idea of being able to use only one parking spot for multiple different types of car, this is it.

The_Chieftain: This is a fascinating idea. I'm not in the market for it (either cost or geographic) but if it works and GM cascades the idea down to Chevy on a more affordable level, it could completely change the personal auto industry.   http://www.thedrive....dustries?xid=hl

GhostPrime:   Absolutely this. Higher resolutions, and more effects/high res textures and models will affect the performance. 

The_Chieftain: Any chance I can get two 'teams' of about 15 people on my next Thursday stream? (4pm Pacific) With an identifiable team captain on each side?. We'll probably have to hook up on Discord as well, ahead of time.    

GhostPrime:   Hello and Welcome to World of Tanks, and the forums!    I was going to suggest the same thing! Its a great Tier V tank, and easy to use. 

dance210:   Hi Bedwyr!   I love hearing player feedback, as it allows us to improve/change things around. Saying that, is there anything in particular that you don't like about the format or particular advice for what you would like changed. Giving specific examples (e.g. dislike playing multiple playoff rounds in one night, wish it didn't last three days, hate playing encounter maps, etc.) is usually much more helpful when we consider changing things around. Thanks!

The_Chieftain: Uncited, I note.   I really didn't have any complaints about my Abrams. Roadwheel hubs kept falling off all our tanks, that was the worst of it, but it's not as if the tank was designed for the highway cruising we ended up using it for.

The_Chieftain: Someone, somewhere, was asking me about the thickness of Grizzly's armor, on the theory that there were reports that the Canadians buffed it up a little. I am a little suspicious about the idea, given that General Steel also provided castings for the Pressed Steel Shermans and I can't imagine they changed the moulds, but I took my thickness device to the Grizzly I have access to around here, and I can't say I found any unusual results. Seems to have been a constant 2.1" or so all the way up the front slope.

The_Chieftain: My SIG 556 has only the spring in the piston, nothing in the stock, but it's a full-stroke piston, so the spring covers the length of the bolt's travel.   I don't see why Dai's rifle can't mechanically work, but it does seem a tad front-heavy.

GhostPrime:   This is handled by our automatic TK system built into the game, this happens when a threshold of damage is reached. I do suggest sending in a replay to support if there was any unfair gameplay involved in this matter, and it will be investigated.

dance210:   Hi G3nst3r,   When I look at the tournament page and the admin page, it shows a final score for your team for Round 9, with your final rank of 3rd place.   I couldn't find any issues with the matches not being processed correctly. I'll search again to confirm all the matches are scored before doing the payouts, but it seems as though the admin system didn't mark the tournament as "Finished."    Thanks!!

Njourour: Closed thread as player requested. 

Mezurashi: Hello guys, stepping in to remind everyone to keep it civil. Please don't make it reach to a point where the topic will be locked and sanctions given out. Thanks.

Mezurashi: Just a friendly reminder. Keep it civil guys. I might have to close this topic if it gets too toxic.
