merig00: No I meant the new grouping for the battle in general - all 30 people. It's separate from the 2-3 friends parties. I don't have those numbers but at the start of Russian Open Beta there were over 7000 players at the same time. Last news that I've heard people are actually waiting in line to connect to the server So yeah a lot more people that we have in EU Closed Beta right now.

merig00: update your video card drivers? does your card support shaders v 3.0?

merig00: My educated guess would be - the new way of grouping players for battle. You need a lot of people online to test that. And we are lacking that in EU beta.

merig00: Aaah I remember beta 0.4 I wasn't able to play till 0.4.5 update.

merig00: I meant the official test change log It's still in testing.

merig00: The official test change log for EU Beta will be posted on Monday

merig00: http://game.worldoft...gistration/cbt/

merig00: Devs are working on that.... support of shader 2.0 is in the plans.

merig00: No mortar option for SPG. It hasn't even been implemented before - just discussed. So nothing to worry about.

MrVic: Its still in the bank guarded by 3 Tiger I's once we find Kelly we can profit!

MrVic: hehe make everyone drive backwards into battle!
But yeah something like this I think could be done, heck its probably planned already

MrVic: The other thing is there are personnel in game watch for such occurrences. In time they all will be caught

MrVic: Actually at high speeds it looks right "I think". Its the illusion much like spinners on some cars, but more so its like a high speed fan if you stare at it. The wheel can trick your eyes and make it seem as tho its going the wrong way. Also some people perceive some images and the brain gets confused on whats really happening. Its optical illusion. I bet some on here will see it going the other way possibly
I will have to look more closely at them myself to see which way the spin to me
Good catch tho

MrVic: I think there is a confirmation dialog box coming for that. I have done it also

merig00: NDA is still in effect for EU CBT

MrVic: Track hits are shown by thrown track or if its just damage they do not alter in appearance. The scratches are non penetrating hits and no hit points lost.
Also since tracks can be destroyed with lower caliber weapons that may not be able to harm your armored hull there is no hitpoint loss just mobility loss. The track hits were not those that hit you and scratched the hull

MrVic: Well I do have access to a machine shop and gather up some old steel.... few welds here and there and I can have my very own "Rush hour traffic clearing device" patent pending of course.....

MrVic: They pretty much covered it. ^^^

merig00: No key bind just yet

merig00: there was a post with screenshots. Search for it.

merig00: OP - original post. Meaning that the first topic was updated.

merig00: HEAT

merig00: 1. Repair kit that will fix the damaged module or Medical kit that will recover knocked out crew member. Temporary boosts to speed or crew experience. Things of that nature. It's alpha changelog so can't comment on prices yet. As for pre-requisites some might be limited to a particular nation or tank level.

2. On mini-map and/or on actual screen above the tank who called for help. I haven't seen the new version yet.

3. I'll get back to you on that one

merig00: I don't think so. At least not on the beta stage.

MrVic: Seems you had the right section to begin with removed the post outside the beta section.
Many of these topics are covered elsewhere but its put together nicely so its moved over
Thanks for the thoughts and hope to see more!

MrVic: Nope your good, I was confused earlier by the avoiding its aim and was not sure if you meant in the field or behind the larger obstacles. Your doing similar to me tho I move around a bit more Mainly due to getting bored of the same tactic. Kk were on the same page then on this

MrVic: SPG's have a 75%-100% range of a map. So the only place being out of their "aim" is if you get lucky and their not pointing at your area of the map. So 4 scouts approach you can take out 1 maybe 2 with 5 rpm weapon and hopefully your team gets the others. If the scouts evade well its easy to get on in the backfield. So in this defensive playing unless your hiding behind one of the few objects that will shield you from SPG fire they can hit you with no issues. Being forced into a camping setup is more the role of a TD and being forced to hide behind a house is semi retarded. Some maps this is easy others it is not curious how this divine plan works elsewhere
"Artillery don't tend to move around a lot and if you know where they are you can easily avoid them" There not behind the house and I am not on the other side. When they have a combat effective range of "the map" in many cases avoiding them is easy avoiding their shells is not. So if I park a scout on the rear of your tank and you do not kill it on Provokia (sp) where are you parked that your not in their "aim" and you have avoided them? there are a few spots that can shield you if their at a bad angle but they do move and you never know where they are at all times. Provide me some "tips" then on where you avoid them, or do you end up hiding in the corner most of the match and try to farm a few people?
Saying do this and do that is fine but ya need to give some details because in the many many months of playing many maps say that your method is cowering behind a rock every game based on your description. I can tell everyone "Rush them and you make money and its all fine" but the real tactics or helpful information would not back that up and it would seem like a hollow response.
Please clarify your claims for me, make me understand what your talking about right now I am not seeing this as valid personally
I do fine with my IS-3 mostly looking into things

I do fine with my IS-3 mostly looking into things

MrVic: Its a internal lining for the tank to protect it more from HE rounds. Some systems similar were developed in WW2. In essence it would protect you from internal armor fragments breaking free. Beyond that I think there is no other benefit.

MrVic: Actually the KT base gun can pen IS-3's anywhere and easily in many locations, The IS-3 has to spend 55kish exp to get a gun to pen a KT So far my IS-3 its been pretty fair back and forth with KT's

MrVic: Closing the topic. The issue is expressed and the Devs can do with it as they please
Its not going anywhere but down hill and I hate walking back uphill after such an event

MrVic: Okay RIF.
I have tried to spell this one out so here goes one last time.
I have not personally decided nor stated that the KT > IS-3 or that the IS-3 > KT So please people stop assuming that I am saying these things, read the posts before ya respond lol
Not every conversation has to he about whos right or wrong.......
