9.4 Test Client Feedback! Bring it!

Cowardly_Lion, on Oct 18 2014 - 15:47, said: I discovered one thing that I found rather funny. When you
first start the beta test, you are given 20,000 gold, 100,000,000
credits or silver, and 100,000,000 free experience. What is
funny about that is that I reserched every item for every vehicle
for every country, and still have 74,460,670 free experience
left. What do I do with the rest?.... I find that
rather amusing since I will now have an elite tank every time I buy
a new one until the next update of the test server and start over
again. If I wanted to be silly and do it, I could also have
bought almost 700 slots in my garage and put most, if not all, of
the first 4 or 5 tier tanks in it. My point on this is that
for a proper test, shouldn't we have to work a bit to get that tier
10 tank? I have enough left to get at least 10 of them after
outfitting all my current tanks and a couple I bought just to see
how good they are. This isn't a bug as such, just something
that I find a bit silly for a test of a new version of a game.

we want you to test as much as possible, and find as many bugs or
things that may need broken (before releasing the final client),
that we want you to have completely unlimited resources - just like
game testers have. You shouldn't ever be blocked in a test server,
from accessing any equipment, tanks, etc. Unlimited resource -->
unlimited things you can test --> fun AND helpful
That's just my theory, as I've been a game tester in the past, and that's why we had a similar experience.

Slakrrrrrr, on Oct 23 2014 - 04:33, said: Alright, this question is going to take a lot of background, but
I'm curious to see your opinions. On a recent physics
quiz, I had a question involving finding average velocity.
Essentially, a person walks from point A to B at 5m/s, then walks
from B to A immediately after at 3m/s. The method at which I found
this average was this: give A to B a value (I gave it 10m, it could
honestly be anything and the resulting average velocity would be
the same), and use it to find a total time taken for the person to
walk from A to B (2s) and back to A (3.33s) for a total elapsed
time of 5.33s. I then divided the AB time by the total time, and
multiplied by the velocity ([2s/5.33s]x5m/s), and the same for the
BA time and velocity ([3.33s/5.33s]x3m/s), both resulting in 1.875.
The sum of these two values gave me the average velocity, 3.75m/s.
All of the steps listed above were clearly instructed on the quiz.
My question is this: should this method be considered
unconventional? To me, it seems pretty logical and unambiguous,
especially when the content is essentially review of high school
physics. Here's a picture
of the question on the quiz (apologies for the bad quality, the
pic was taken from my phone).

The_Chieftain: Isn't the answer '0'? Velocity is a function of speed
and direction. If you're at the place when the stopwatch ends as
you were when it started, your overall average velocity must have
been 0.

Lost High-Explosive Damage?

Link on message: #7988952
Mr_Ekshin, on Oct 23 2014 - 10:11, said: SOLVED! Thank you all for your assistance. You were correct:
it was combined damage that all hits very close together in time. I
had to slow the replay down to 1/4 to see, but right after my shot,
two more hits occurred. When the replay is at normal speed,
only a single orange number is displayed. But slowed to 1/4 speed,
3 hits are displayed, each with their respective colors. It
appears that the data is all there, but the live engine just merges
it together as you said. It actually makes sense, because to show 3
hits at full speed would blink by so fast it would be unseen.
This is decidedly "working as intended". Thank you all again for
your help. Case closed.

notei que os navios de fundo numa das sequências do ataque a Pearl
Harbor eram destroyers da classe Spruance, e isso me tirou
completamente do filme. Parei de ver nesse momento.
Vi Fury na terça (pré-estreia para a galera da WG :D) e está... Não diria 100% fiel à realidade, o que até é natural, dado que não é um documentário, mas achei muito mais fiél que o filme médio de guerra de Hollywood. No entanto, noto que essa é minha opinião apenas, e como tal YMMV.

que infelizmente ainda não estreou no Brasil. Na Europa, a
Wargaming colabora igualmente com alguns museus, auxiliando na
promoção dos mesmos e patrocinando a recuperação de alguns
veículos. A pergunta que queremos colocar é a seguinte: Qual
é a vossa opinião sobre este tipo de ações? Deve a WG procurar mais
ações deste tipo, com parceiros destes ou de outros ramos de

The_Chieftain: What's a Mensa number and why should I care?* Cooper's
memoir is indeed a data point. Or, in military terms, it is a
source of information. Information, however, is not intelligence.
The latter is only the result of the processing of information to
incorporate the validity of the information. Cooper's book is an
unreliable source of information as regards many parts of that
book, and conclusions based upon his information are on, shall we
say, shaky grounds, and should not pass muster to proceed from
information (or data point) to final analysis. *Rhetorical
question. I know what it is, and I don't think anyone cares.

Jwilson7020, on Oct 22 2014 - 14:03, said: You are asking the wrong question.... How many lives would
have been saved if we had a MIX of M4s and M26s. If the Tank
Battalions under the Infantry Division MTOEs (the tactical
formations tasked with punching holes for the Armor to exploit) had
M26s instead of M4s, would they not have been better equipped for
the job? "One can only speculate what might have
happened if Patton's forces had had a smaller number of superior
tanks. There would have been fewer engines to be supplied with fuel
and fewer guns to be provided with ammunition [and I add fewer
crewmen to feed] but there would have been greater fighting power
and he [Patton] might have kept going. Would the war in Europe have
ended in 1944 rather than in May 1945 and would the border between
East and West -- soon to become the Iron Curtain -- have been drawn
farther to the east, changing the course of postwar history?"
[Kelly, Orr, King of the Killing Zone, p. 85] Cooper
also speculated that if the M26 had gone into full production
in January of 1944, then at least enough of them may have been
available by Jun/Jul 1944 to have made enough of a difference
tactically to have seized the Ruhr River Valley and forestalled the
Ardennes Counteroffensive, thus ending the war in the ETO by about
six months. But GEN McNair was against putting the M26 in
production because of "rapid deploy-ability" (where have we heard
that before?) issues: we could put five Shermans in the
hold of a Liberty Ship versus one Pershing. They were ONLY looking
at it as a sheer numbers (based on faulty intelligence that pegged
German tank production at twice its actually number [Kelly, p. 84])

capable assets at an infantry division's command, and the relative
lack of heavily armoured opposition targets, it is quite possible
that the distinction between the two tanks was neglible in
practice. Plus, of course, you still have the matter of producing
and transporting enough M26s to make up battalions of them, which
seems unlikely by the timeline. Maybe they should have looked
at making E2s a little earlier, though their long-term viability
given the weight and mobility issues are something of an open
question to me. I believe some units actually turned them down as
they didn't want to be slowed up. I think the petrol issue
is overstated. Of all the vehicles in Pattons' Third Army, how many
of them were tanks? My guess is that the lion's share of the fuel
was being drunk by CCKWs, GPWs and WC51s. And tanks weren't the
only armoured vehicles either, you also have the SP artillery
battalions and tank destroyer battalions. And no matter how
much better an M26 is than an M4, fewer M26s can be only in fewer
places at once. Again, pure speculation as to the effect.
It wasn't just McNair. Armored Force's position was that
only the M4 could be made reliably in sufficient numbers to
conduct the war in 1944. A point I'm inclined to agree with given
how long it took Ordnance to work the bugs out of the T26. And
AGF/ASF's dithering only delayed production of the first few
hundred by about 10 weeks at most, by Ordnance's own records. I'd
need to see some pretty compelling evidence (Preferably primary
source) to change that timeline.
