merig00: And then in most cases you can press "exit battle" while you are in the waiting room.

merig00: WoT works better with nVidia than ATI. And yes if you could get a bit more $$ for GTX460 that would be great.
I have EVGA GTX460 1GB (not overclocked) and run WoT on max settings without AA at 70FPS and with maxed out AA at 40FPS
But first and foremost - what Hirumaru said. Check your specs first before upgrading! Especially your PSU output. GTX460 required at least 450Watt PSU with 24Amps +12Volts.

Overlord: The amount of inflicted damage directly affects experience gains. The more damage - the more experience.
Of course the coefficient is the same of all same tier and class tanks.
EU cluster is down for scheduled data center maintenance, including forums and web site.

Overlord: Were you using modified scripts_config.xml file so as to choose servers at startup? Seems so, then you will be brought to update page for Russian version. Don't download there anything!

merig00: Yes. Russian server also started out with 10k players limit and devs were adding clusters as the players population grew.

merig00: Usually it's a problem with drivers or your graphic card is too old but if not - contact support with details

ARGO: You get a pichfork right in your kester
I put in Giganauts avitar

Overlord: Closing the thread. Continue here please.

ARGO: I had a few good ones, Here's a thread full of them...
http://forum.worldof...6556entry216556

merig00: Pre-order packages will be available approx two weeks before the game goes live. All in all there will be 3 options to choose from, each one contains certain amount of gold with discount and a premium vehicle (A-32, Pz. V/IV, M6A2E1).

merig00: I guess I'll fire up good olde VK3601(elite) tonight and refresh my memory because when I was playing it I found konish to be fun but nothing more. I think I have the 88 on it even though I have more than enough gold to play gold-only till the release Also I don't recall any other gun in the game comparable to konish.

merig00: You'll be able to pre-order the game or purchase a box version. All money spent on it will be returned to you in form of gold/slots/special tanks. So pre-order/box version will be a zero sum at the end you are not actually paying for the game. Keep an eye on udpates - more info to follow on exact date but should be about two weeks prior to the release.

merig00: welcome! welcome!

merig00: Considering how the CW are being played on RUS server I don't think we'll see VK3601 there in the first place

merig00: In that case weight of premium tanks is also an unfair decisive advantage because you can be driving a lighter tank that you grinded to and your opponent just purchased a heavy one with gold and then at the end of the round when only two of you left and all your ammo is wasted he just rammed you to death with his unfairly decisive weight advantage. Dude seriously, don't go into hypotheticals.

merig00: Ooh so knoisch is not so uber anymore?
I've never said that gold doesn't give you an advantage - I said it doesn't give you a decisive advantage. And illustrated it that even all gold pimped-out super-uber VK4601 at most can barely keep up with stock KT. Well equiped KT will send you to tank heavens with all your gold ammo in just two shots.
As for 90mm M3 I've never played it but it seems like a standard Tier VII gun... Stats seem pretty close to a russian 100mm D10 which you can find on T-34-85 and above.
Again going from 160 to 250 penetration doesn't matter most of the time when playing against tanks of your level or below. However the damage you infilic tto higher level tanks is not enough to have a decisive advantage in the game.

merig00: T20 90mm... are you talking about this uber gun
90mm Gun M3 Dmg:240/240/320 Pen:160/243/45 RoF:7.31?

merig00: KT:
Health: 1400 HP
Standard damamge: 220
VK4601
Health: 760 HP
Konisch gold ammo damage: 165
So to kill KT you would need 9 rounds and 30 seconds. And for stock KT to kill you it would need 4 rounds and 26 seconds. That's with stock KT and not considering high probability of you bouncing off the KT.
And why KT armor matters, because you can go against KT in 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 equiped with gold rounds with pretty much same success rate. But you wouldn't have to waste gold if you encounter someone of your size or lower. It is all around better gun.
7.5 cm KwK 41 L/58 konisch is nothing more than a toy to entertain yourself for several rounds.

Overlord: The detailed information on the procedure will be published on the web site tomorrow. Registration is going to be web-based.
