merig00: If you look at the stats - it's pretty much base model of KV. Also I found that the problem with Churchill is not penetration but low damage that it is dealing.

ARGO: Froggies right, I too love my KV3.
When I was in my KV3 I had come around a corner in ENSK and ran right into a Tiger 2, The Tiger was on one end of the street, me the other. At first I thought "Oh crap my guns still loading, he's gonna pop me" then the Tiger 2 turned his back to me and wrote something to the effect "I'm not gonna waste my ammo on you". Boy that guy really thought his Tiger was something else, right up until the part where I burried a 107 round right up his keister knocking his arse down fromm 100% to 43%. I then asked him if I had properly got his attention. The Great Tiger 2 ran away......bad kitty.
I will stick with Russian tanks.

ARGO: I am quite sure that seeing that in this game a T-44 can out run and beat the daylights out of a Tiger or IS, they could make a WW1 tank go a bit faster without ruining the authenticity and charm of it.

ARGO: You didn't by any chance find a witch under there wearing a pair of ruby slippers did you?

MrVic: Accuracy stat represents the amount of distance from center aiming point the round will deviate over 100meters. So a larger number equals a less accuracy. Also this is represented at a 100m so the shot can be more inaccurate the farther it travels Hope that helps

MrVic: Closing the thread enough info has been added and the trolling/flames have gotten well out of control.

merig00: It doesn't have to be elite

merig00: try starting the game with WoT.exe in your game folder. Also this question has been covered before and I'm sure we have at least two topics with identical subject. Please use forum search before posting.

merig00: There will be 5 or 6 different modes from random to historic battles. Maybe 5 people queuing for 30x30 maps but so far only 2-3 for random maps because otherwise it would create an unfair advantage. Would you really want to be on a random team playing against a clan?

merig00: We already have discussion on equipment: http://forum.worldof...ment-discussion

merig00: First to play the Wot Beta you need a beta key - you can apply for one here: http://game.worldoft...gistration/cbt/

merig00: It might be a redemption key not registration key. I don't want to speculate on this yet.

MrVic: One thing to keep in mind is the 3601 has more armor in its rear then in the side 100/60/80 Some tanks have heavier armor plus the slope or angle of attack effects the chance to penetrate.
But also in the coming patch there are some adjustments for damage models ect, I think this should help many situations.
Hope that helps.

merig00: There are no hard data... you can experiment and let us know.

merig00: Devs are not big on a lot of cool special effects since they dont want to strain the server and have the game accessible to as many PC builds as possible. So they are trying to make the game as dynamic as they can.

merig00: I think the game doesn't really like dx11.

MrVic: Its is against the rules and conduct of this game

MrVic: From what I understand we will not start over, Either a move, or a soft wipe and migrate to a new server base. Have not heard of any full wipe until release.

merig00: Thank you for letting us know and not reading the forum rules before posting.
Closed.

merig00: Your guess is correct. the transmission is considered to be part of the engine hitbox. And on a lot of german *cough-tiger-cough* tanks it's in the front hence engine is damage happens quiet often.

merig00: Restart your client - those are the first signs of a video memory leak.

merig00: And the topic is closed

merig00: It's a normal distribution curve between -50% to 50% so anywhere in that range. Though devs are thinking about changing it to +/- 30%

ARGO: A lot of times during the game I will get an idea or something and have to all but leave the game to post. Is it at all possible to have a button put into the garage section of the game so one can jump directly into the forums?

ARGO: My dream battle for this map is both teams rush and marry right in the center. Alas, I keep getting stuck on wimpy teams full of cowards that yell rush and run away halfway condeming those of us with a set to certain death.
That's why this map was lovingly renamed "Campinovka" because all the wimps like to do is play hide and camp then cry because the map takes to long.
An American General in WW1 once said to the French and English soldiers when he first saw the trench warefare "What the hell are you all doing here?, The enemies over there!!! Get over there and kick his ass!!!"

ARGO: I have a nice powerful card, an Nvidia 9400 GT turbo with 1 gig mem on it and I got my graphics set to maximum and I still have yet to see the red ring around tanks. I have never been able to see it either.

ARGO: My friend "Devildogs" has this game and he complained he cannot join battles because when he hits the red button for battle and then during the screen showing the line up of tanks his game crashes. The game always gets to this point then crashes. Can anyone tell me whats going on so I can help him fix the issue?

merig00: Also keep in mind that Tiger has it's engine transmission in the front - it's part of the engine hitbox. So that could have been hit.
But in general module damage and hitboxes are still being tweaked.

merig00: 1. Hardcore battles - a special mode of tank battles, made specifically for fans of realism.
2. This battle mode may be used in all the battle types:
• In random battles.
• In team battles.
• In championships.
• In historical campaigns.
• In championships.
• In clan wars.
3. The most important feature of the Hardcore battles is absence of HP. It means that the shell penetrating vehicle does not reduce the HP. Damage is dealt to the modules and the crew.
4. Calculations are made by the current algorithm with the following exception. When the shell hits a module - 100% critical damage is dealt, when crew is hit - 50%.
5. Another important feature is a possible reduction or disabling of penetration "randomization".
6. Hardcore battles will not have expendables (repairkits and aidkits) and the repair time will take longer than in standard battles - from 15 to 30 seconds.
7. The number of premium ammo in the Hardcore battles might be limited, meaning it will be limited by % of the total ammo capacity.
8. Tank in the Hardcore battles will be destroyed only after the ammo explodes or after the death of the crew.
9. Destroyed tanks will be blocked (you won't be able to enter another battle) for some time or for some number of battles played on other tanks.
This mode is still in the development stage.

MrVic: From what I understand its not really tiered at all. No more recruit battles even. Basically its is a sliding tier system is probably the best name for it now.
It finds and pairs up similar level tanks, One battle might be 3,4 and a couple 5's another might be 4,5 and some 6's ect. It takes into account more then just tier it seems also. So a bunch of tier 2 tanks can fight some tier 3's ect its a much more diverse scale. The platoon stuff assess the tanks in it and from what I have heard pairs them out pretty fairly even with a weird tank spread.
I have not gotten the hard info on it but so far what info I have heard has been really really looking good on its mechanics.

MrVic: Do what discuss inside qoutes? confused there
But you proved my point You see this is a argument not a discussion.
I was not sure if you were worked up or what in that post, so I left it be. Its nice to hear your were not upset.
I'll just keep to my normal discussions elsewhere its less argument based
But in the end my "test" in this thread failed.
Laters

MrVic: Yeah I think we'll see info on it once its running full power or when another system is put in place.

MrVic: When testing its not always best to kill all the lab rats on the first test. Its best to leave a few to improve things.
Actually automated lets them process more and collect more data faster and can help in choosing finally. I have heard
of some ways it works and it rather protects "innocents rather well" in fact it creates a much more complete picture
of the player and situations then you can do manual. The end results could be human choice or system done. Its all testing.
Also with the patch remark, I was merely pointing out that when it shows up and confirmed it can be easily independent of patches.
And that patches are more content not a system admin function.

MrVic: Moved the topic to the correct section.
Just some info, The anti TK/Bot program their working on is not based on a patch as its not client side.
They simply upload to the server and its done, since its not content and not something you want in peoples clients
to have access to ect.
Do to some recent observations I think its being tested some right now actually

merig00: I would start with searching the topic in case this has been discussed before.
