merig00: The next update should bring us the new version of BigWorld engine which has multicore support. Since the update is not finalized yet, consider this a very reliable rumor.

merig00: In beta the only way to report someone is to email screenshots to community@worldoftanks.com and they will be banned as soon as admins get to those emails. In the release there will be an automatic TK detection system.

merig00: A new FAQ with images of medals and badges http://forum.worldof...st-how-to-earn/

merig00: turrent movement is movement so it will cancel the effects of the net. Firing from the concealment is buggy right now but it should make you more visible.

ARGO: PzIII is the tank you want, chases down leopards and can have a relativly descent gun on it, and can take a bit more abuse than the leo without sacrificing speed. I saw three of these little piranha eat a IS tank alive. It was my scout tank of choice hands down.

ARGO: I believe the Stuart tank was removed from the tank depot after the wipe, It cannot be purchased anymore.

ARGO: Just as the thread topic states, Let us know or drop a link to a really awesome movie about tank battles. I will drop a good one first.
Battle of the Bulge......Great tank flick.

ARGO: You used that unholy backwards VK ausf B

ARGO: Really? was it really that bad? A buddy of mine was saving for one, any good advice?

ARGO: First off I want to say to the moderators sorry if this thread is in the wrong place but I didn't really know where to put this subject.
Anyway, The past three days all my tanks have "woken up" I mean to give an example: I have an IS3 I maxed my crew when I got it so they started at 100% now my tank was good and took a crap load of abuse and dished it too but always seemed a touch underpowered and the gun seemed a tad off "aim wise". I took my time and learned how to "self adjust" to the tanks querks and pressed on usually doing good each battle, 1-3 kills. Now as I was saying earlier the past 3 days my IS3 is running around killing tanks like they owe it money I mean the tanks been virtually unstopable to the point of 5-6 kills minimum per battle so I wrote this to ask a couple of questions regarding this sudden change. My VK3601 is the same story as well. I know my fighting pattern hasn't changed so I am a bit confused but very pleasently surprised. For the record by NO Means am I complaining.
Can this phenominon be caused by :
A: The equipment getting better "Like the crew does"
B: The crew although 100% still improve
C: Pure luck "right circumstances"
D: It's me getting better
Has anyone else out there had this happen to them as well with their tanks?

ARGO: Although I myself get erked when I see a guy trying to save his tank other than fighting, I gave you a + because you Dotard are 100% right about as you say "pukes" ruining the game and reporting team mates positions. I have seen it too and I hope anyone who does it should get a nice long vacation from the game because my personal opinion is that a team rat is 100 times worse than a team killer. If you don't wanna be in a match, leave the battle to those that do.

MrVic: I loved my stugg and miss it still. Considering re buying it actually its one of my favorite tanks. Its like a high speed ninja of TD death

MrVic: Original Post is updated with some minor updates to the information list.
Sorry I took a few to get it done

MrVic: I think I have heard this might change, but cannot remember details, will check into it again.

MrVic: Will get some minor updates on the OP later tonight.

MrVic: Tada Rif

MrVic: Ahh well people that spam get whats coming to them
The anti spam system is needing a adjustment (it was broken during a past patch)
Closing this out but thanks for the info

MrVic: Its a good cross between the two I think. Accurate enough to make it feel right, Fast paced enough to make it more fun and exciting.
Lots of the prototyped and designed tanks are included, which is nice since its about tanks not about material or ability to manufacture limitations.
Its purely about the Tanks
And yes the 88 L71 is arguably the best weapon of ww2 and the VK4502 was rejected but also the availability and limitations on materials time and manufacturing due to the war itself pretty much. While many technologies and weapons were designed they were abandoned or rejected due to many reasons. The reasons for most where due to the limitations and restrictions during the war. A good example was the US tank development. The sheer volume of improvements and new systems is staggering, At its core most of them were not pursued or ignored, since first priority was placed on manufacturing as many of the existing models they possibly could instead of slowing production and making drastic changes. All in all I love that their getting some of the experimental or passed over tanks in game, so many good ideas that were lost due to politics and war time conditions
Plus everyone driving a Tiger II with a 88/L71 would be pretty boring hehe
Also with the Hardcore modes that will be added you will see things playing out very differently

MrVic: Some ammo types require gold also, Are you using ammo that costs gold? If so that can drain you rather fast

MrVic: This is something that will more then likely appear later down the road. Right now with adjusting and improving the balance systems increasing the platoon size at this time would probably only slow getting the balance system tweaked.

merig00: You cannot

merig00: Email support@worldoftanks.com

ARGO: I think you missed the point, Make it LOOK like the 1st turret WITHOUT loosing the pluses of the upgraded one. I figure if they can do it with skins, they may be able to do it with the turrets....

ARGO: You got a good point, Never thought of that....+ for you!

ARGO: I really like the look of the standard turret on the IS3 and I hate the look of the upgraded turret so I wondered if there is a way to change the second turret to look like the first without loosing any of the attributes.

ARGO: I think the IS3 could use a little beefing up.

ARGO: How many times have you all seen this, You have just been killed and your popping in and out of your team tanks on the old death cam. You see that one of your guys is the last tank now and your watching the chat window or writing the guy trying to help him and then it happens...the guy make a mistake "like we all do" and gets tank raped during which some of your guys start flamming the poor guy and yelling at him calling him every name in the book....have you ever been that guy?
Or how about this one: Your on the death cam and you see a guy outnumbered running and trying to cap the base...but he get killed moments before the clock runs out...Ever notice how very rare it is that anyone says...Good try man.
I could go on and on about this but I am sure you all have a scenario or two of your own good or bad. I think that win or loose we should take the time to show good sportsmanship and respect to other players because like I said we all make mistakes and we all learn. It does no good to keep verbally pounding on a player who makes a error and it only compounds itself by that player then having resentment toward the game and the other players which will eventually reflect in that guys next battles.
I have seen a good trend ingame of players putting GG "good game" toward the loosing team lately and that's a plus for this game. Hey they tried. In the end, truly winning means when your all on the same team clan or no clan, platoon or no platoon you should work together as best you can.

ARGO: I have noticed the sound effects ingame have definately improved. I hit a telephone pole and it made the exact sound when it hit the pavement as a real one would.....amazing. The trees also sound damn nice too. metal hitting metal always sounded good. and like I said in the title to this thread the guns sounded so real it scared my Jack Russel terrier, I fired the main gun on my IS3 and had my surround sound on and BOOM!!! shook the house and my dog ran under the bed and wimpered like a baby. Ah yes and the sounds of the tanks when they are cruising along sound pretty good too.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could make a short video on how all the WoT sound effects are made, I am sure players would like it and find it interesting too.

ARGO: How about a skin like those old 1960's hippie vans with the peace insignia and the flowers LOL!

ARGO: I believe the IS series tanks are really sharp looking tanks "also T-44" The only one I don't like so much is the IS3 second turret "looks like a bowl" I kinda wish there was a way to fix it so the second turret looked like the first.

ARGO: Here is the next match up in battle, same conditions:
T-28 vs PzIII
IS4 vs VK4502 Ausf B

ARGO: I think you are right on that one. The one who strikes blood first usually wins.

MrVic: Overall I perfer Germans tanks now days myself. Mostly due to guns Higher armor pen for its size faster aiming time and more accurate.
I have played both sides extensively, and for me its pretty good balance between the factions.
I do shoot for certain locations tho witch is made easier with german weapons, and cripples russian tanks if you get good at it
All depends on your style or skill combined with luck of the draw in matches and your tactics with each tank regardless of faction or tier.

ARGO: It's simple, which tank would outlast each other "take more of a pounding"

ARGO: 100,000th player......Hmmmmmm....How about we all get 100,000 free exp. to celebrate!!!!!!

ARGO: This is a discussion on 1 on 1 tank fights. Each tank is equiped with the highest rated items, Thier crews are euqally maxed. pound for pound on an open field, which tank do you think would win in a fair fight. I know many will say it's up to the players but for this hypothetical battle we are going on basically which tank would outlast the other. Feel free to throw in a scenario of your own.
I will start this thread with our first two battles:
Battle #1 IS3 vs King Tiger.
Battle #2 T-44 vs Panther.
