dance210: FYI guys, Registration has been re-opened for teams to sign up for the Weekend Playoffs ONLY. Any teams that register for the Entire Tournament WILL NOT PARTICIPATE.   Thanks and good luck everyone!

The_Chieftain: Actually, it came pretty much straight from the report. Both tanks were reported as immediately burning after rolling over.

The_Chieftain:   Apparently, 'yes', but I don't have info quite yet. Too early. I'll also see if I can get something on C_Menz's question about club wargaming in WoWS. I suspect a lot of the 'community' stuff in WoWS is on a bit of a hold right now. As you may have noticed, we've started to dramatically change how we interact with customers on the NA Tanks side of the house, and I believe we're waiting for a bit of feedback on this (and there's more to come) before we start setting a precedent with floaty things.  

The_Chieftain:   First paragraph, I agree with. Only Red Dragon really gave satisfying campaigns, and that was inexplicably torpedoed by the lack of multiplayer campaign support. What was their thinking?   Frankly, I'm not sure I see any great reason to go EE over RD, unless someone else can think of one.    

Trevzor:  

Trevzor:   I have confirmed that both of you have received your prizes on Friday at ~1430 PT   Sometimes the automatic email can get spam filtered or fail to send altogether. Regardless of whether you have received the email or not, your accounts have been credited 

The_Chieftain:   No, but the problem is that it doesn't leave open the other alternatives. Because everyone has sixth sense, only the oblivious hang around long enough for you to get a good shot off. And when you do, then they get the bright yellow ATGM warning to remind them that they ignored the bright yellow 'you've been spotted' warning for too long. This gives them far too much time to react for a distance shot where you might possibly be able to engage without receiving something big on the way back.

The_Chieftain: My AW premium runs out in three hours or so. I have been bouncing around the lower tiers as well, and am about done with Swingfire. It's an incredibly frustrating thing to play, there are so many 'Hey, move, dummy' warnings that getting a hit at the very few long-range shots is all but impossible, and at anything which provides less reaction time, you become spotted and dead before your first missile impacts.

The_Chieftain: AC3 was 25pr, AC4 was 17pr.   I'll be there the 23rd or 24th or so.

dance210: Yes, by necessity it works differently. All teams that sign up for Solo/Party with less than the minimum number of players will remain unconfirmed until registration ends. It won't show as confirmed until the new teams are created.

dance210: YOU NOW EARN CREDITS AND EXPERIENCE IN TOURNAMENT BATTLES and still DON'T PAY FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS! The Stand-To is Wargaming’s new daily tournament (named after WWI’s daily face off against the enemy where soldiers were expected to stand ready on the trench fire step, preparing for attack). Now it’s your turn to roll into the fray. So gather your friends, grab your favorite tanks and defend your base. As a daily tournament, you can choose whether you want to Stand-To every day or only once in a while. All active tournaments can be found by searching the Tournaments Home Page. Curious what's happening this month? Check out our eSports calendar!  Starting this week, a player now has two ways to register for the Stand-To tournaments! When you create the team, make sure that you are using the correct registration!Register as a Team! Registration works the same as normal. Team captain makes a team and recruits players to join. A complete team has 3 - 4 players. Captains do not need to submit their team; all teams with the minimum number of players will be accepted. The team is now ready to fight once the tournament starts! Register as a Solo player or as part of a Party! A party is a group of players that does not meet the minimum team size requirements. Create a team. Teams do not need to be confirmed; all players will be accepted for the Solo/Party Registration. Once registration has closed, the player will be combined with other solo player(s) and/or a party to form a complete team After registration has closed, players are encouraged to check back to find their new team!   Current Tournament:  ​Registration Open:​Stand-To 3.7.16 Tournament Page Registration ​​Stand-To 3.8.16 Tournament Page Registration   Basic Tournament Information:Team Size: 3 combatants + 1 reserve Tier Point Limit: 12 Tier Limits: This represents the max tier allowed.

The_Chieftain:   The Sentinel

Trevzor:   The first 15 minutes were rough this past Friday, what with people just jumping in, but after that we went 9 and 3 with no queue-outs. We're out there, I can assure you. Just remember we're doing Ranked Team Battles cause we want the dank rewards, yo.   In the mean time:

The_Chieftain:   We moved it to Texas so that people could see it while we worked on the long term plan. Figured it made more sense than just having it sit in a warehouse, and Mabry were willing to display it for us.  

The_Chieftain:   Panther. The tiger is a movie prop

Trevzor: So it looks like the excel formula I use to auto-rank teams picked up several decimals past the three that we display.   The good news is that I can totally fix the issue. You prizing will be adjusted in the next day or two.   Sorry for the confusion.

Trevzor:   If you win a tank that you already own, you get the full price of the tank in gold. Unfortunately tank prizes can't be exchanged.

The_Chieftain: There was a robbery at a gun store around my way last week, in Milpitas. Go to Google Maps, type in "Milpitas Police Department, California". Note location of police department. Then note location of "Milpitas Shooting Range".   Cop walks out the back door to investigate 2am alarm at gun range. Discovers robbery in progress. Asks for more cops to walk on over....

ElPozoleOlmeca: Saludos,   Quiero pedir varias disculpas por la falta de concursos en el año 2016, debido a algunos cambios dentro de la oficina de Norte America no he tenido el tiempo de planear concursos. Pero esto no significa que no debe de haber concursos. .   El año pasado tuvimos concursos hechos por la comunidad (Coldown/Dragore) y me gustaría continuar con ese plan. Si les gustaría hacer concursos por favor mandenme un mensaje privado con sus planes y de ahí podemos trabajar en regresar concursos a la comunidad.

The_Chieftain: Those are the only three complete AC1s I'm aware of. Pucka, Bovvy, and this one. The AC4 replica in Cairns was an AC1, but it's been modified to new configuration. There is a complete AC3 in Canberra, and I'm told Palmer has a second AC3, though I'm not sure the condition.

dance210: The Champion and Challenger qualifiers are different.   So, if a clan participate in Champs qualifier but doesn't win, they will still participate in the Challengers qualifier like every other clan. They would have just had a bit more practice than a clan that didn't play in the first qualifier...and practice is always good

Trevzor: TANKERS! It's a new season for the Ladder, and you know what that means   WGA Hax is coming to get you!   We'll even give you a 100 gold prize if you find us in the queues and another 150 gold if you manage to beat us.   Come and get us 

The_Chieftain: Speaking of events, I must remember to set my DVR for Formula 1. I've been out of it for a couple of years.

dance210:   Hi!!   Champion qualifiers are first. If a clan qualifies for Champion League, then they are in Champion League. They will also be removed from the Challengers League Qualifier

The_Chieftain:   That's the long and short of it. The GAA was the best tank engine that the US had at the time for power/size/weight. Bear in mind that using a Cyclone would mean more volume to armor, making the tank even heavier.

Trevzor:   Finals and taking care of everything that comes after finals has been seriously eating into time.   Payouts should be done in the next few hours. Definitely by the end of today

The_Chieftain: Well, why not? I am, as many of you know, a scale modeller, and I need a little incentive to stop playing WoT and WoWS, and get back to my old, creative hobby. Although I'm a fan of modern, obscure stuff, I do have one or two WoT-esque models on the shelf awaiting building. So let's set a start date of, oh, the week of 27 Mar, use this thread to report on progress. I'm thinking I'll have a crack at this one.
