Otto_matic_Reiffel, on Jul 12 2012 - 17:48, said: OK here are some quick and dirty instructions. This is pretty much what I did
1. Create a new folder on your computer. Call it something like "Wot_test" and put it in your C: drive. So you should have C:\Wot_test
2. Go to your actual World of Tanks folder, probably C:\Games\World_of_tanks.
3. Copy paste all of the files from here into your new C:\Wot_test folder
4. Download the launcher update and run it.
5. When it asks where to install to, tell it C:\Wot_test
6. After all that's done, it should load the test launcher automatically and start downloading. If it doesn't, double click on WoTLauncher.exe in your C:\Wot_test folder.
I take no responsibility if you somehow screw this up and overwrite your original game or something.
PS for the devs: Can you please not have the spinning WoT loading icon covering up your queue position for the server. Either move the queue box to the side or don't have the loading icon or make the queue box always on top within the game.

i have 190K in My Ferdinand Elite and Jagdtiger Elite As well
I have JT in my garage but i sold the Ferdi..
Will my ferdi's exp still can be Transferred into Jagdtiger?



VonBrown, on Jul 12 2012 - 16:11, said: Really, then am I the only one who notices this pattern. OP release, wait a few weeks, nerf. Do the test servers really play that much different that a "balanced vehicle" in test becomes OP upon release?

Zebra21, on Jul 12 2012 - 14:56, said: E-100: +100 HP
+5% to accuracy
+1.1 sec of top gun reloading This was the big buff we were waiting for? No pen increase and WOOHOO,... slower reloads! YES! A MUCH better tank now with +100hp!!!!!
I cant wait,....not.



thejoker91, on Jul 12 2012 - 14:52, said: E-100 and IS-4 have worst overall win rates in both the russian and european server. Stat wise, it isnt the worst, because the amount of vehicles in those two servers is much higher than in the NA server, where no tier 10 reachs 1.000 vehicles in the past 4 weeks.



ulrikov, on Jul 12 2012 - 14:50, said: Vallter, I know this is off topic.. but since we're all on nerfs/buffs which are mostly based on "statistics"...

Do you guys count in "actual # of players" using this tank... compared to # of players playing this tank...?

e.g. In my opinion there are a lot more players playing IS7s/T110s (esp in CW) compared to German counterparts.. and in most cases, these German Tankers are already well-skilled with their e100s/maus despite the "inadequate" capabilities of the tank, hence why they get better winning % compared to IS7s/T110s/etc tankers. And since most other newbie/unskilled players play the other tank lines, this may yield lesser winning % on tank statistics simply because there's a lot of unskilled players using that specific tank... I mean, these things do affect statistics...do  you put that in consideration?

Cause everytime I see it, IS4/IS7 usually gets a lot of "critical" buffs while the other tanks get "meh" buffs or worse, nerfs.
