я тоже новичок можно сказать но о конкурсе узнал поздновато и после находился там, где играть, а тем более повышать эффективность, затруднительно
но думаю 2-й (а точнее 3-й ) раз тот же конкурс проводить не стоит, может только потом, если появится другая формула
если что я за проведение ротного марафона или чемпионата какого нибудь среди нашего и балтийского коммьюнити - как раз стимулировать развитие ротных боев
только чтобы скринов поменьше

Коль различные творческие конкурсы у нас уже проводились (те же эссе, например) - почему бы не сделать конкурс на лучший обзор/комментарий какого-нибудь матча (пусть даже с чисто символическими призами)? Причём можно даже в двух номинациях: голос+видео и письменное резюме игры.

Gorzki, on 02 February 2012 - 11:54 PM, said: 1st PAD does not interfere in what our players do in random battles. If they are breaking the rules, wargaming is supposed to chase them, I'm not interested in being a policeman. Or doing their job for them. So if you will se 1PAD member breaking the rules, flaming, cheating, teamkilling, using hacks - report it to support, cause if you will send it to me (or other 1PAD officials) i will just delete it because it's not mine concern.

По поводу новичков: у нас в клане таких около 15 человек активных каждый день, стаж от 1000 до 5000 боев, и совсем новичков человек 7 с <1000 боев - они тоже не захотели.

SU_152rus, on 02 February 2012 - 07:59 PM, said: Легко додуматься самому, просто посмотрев странички победителей. На это указывалось еще в прошлом месяце, но из-за страстей по "тухлому лидеру DAD", на это не обратили внимание. Также в прошлом же месяце указывались (не мной) и другие дырки в правилах, и способы их корректировки, но и от них отмахнулись. Когда я в январе намекнул про дырявые правила, имея ввиду дырки с прошлого месяца, мне влепили, цитирую: "показательное наказание", совершенно не поинтересовавшись, а собственно почему я высказался в подобном ключе. Засим, наш клан решил после этого конкурса больше не участвовать в подобных ивентах. Причем многие сошли с дистанции и в этом конкурсе, в последний день, как только подтвердилась "дырявость" ивента.Чешипузик, например, выложил свои скрины просто так.
ЗЫ. Против победителей мы не имеем ничего лично против. Даже рады их победе, несмотря, что как раз ивент был "под них", а не для всех.

will it be possible in one of the next patches to buy more slots (maybe +1 for Credits and +2 for Gold) for consumables and modules?
How does it wok with the new upcoming crew skills in 7.2?
The way to bring the second, third..etc. skill to 100% is very long at the moment.
Will you speed it up or give us the opportunity to pay for it?
Greetings,

yourgreatestfear, on 02 February 2012 - 03:09 PM, said: At least you admit that you have a flawed way to balance the game.
We don't prefer to exploit weak and deseased.
But actually your whole matchmaking (High Tier spread), XP-/creditsystem (no difference between damaging higher/lower Tier) and PayToWin-system (gold ammo and premiumtanks with better Battle Range) very much favors and encourages bashing the weak, noobs and deseased (= stock tanks)!
Any way we can at least convince you to change your priorities in development?
More weight on gameplay/battle types then new items/maps for example. Took you almost a year now to implement techtrees while only minor changes were made in gameplay and nothing new added in that part.

Assuming this is true (and Kruz is about always reliable) does this mean Chaffee is going to be affected as well? Or is the T-50-2 just being rethought rather than nerfed.

burdy, on 02 February 2012 - 03:05 PM, said: I have a question about a sign in Himmelsdorf and Mines.

The text reads "Stop. The inscription in German onward unreadable. Attention". The sign was obviously created by someone who can't speak German.
Is it intended to be a joke or did someone simply randomly stringed together German words to make the sign look like a German sign for someone who can't speak German?

Szturmi, on 02 February 2012 - 02:24 PM, said: If it would be introduced then skill would be unimportant in this game. Many players with worse skills then yours would get more XP and credits (so get more and better tanks faster) because they would have been fighting with less skilled people then you. So your idea is good only for bad players helping them in grind.
Overlord,
1. T25-2 TD looks almost exactly like T25 tank, so is it T25 tank put into TD line (like T30)?
2. What do you think about nerfing Lorraine by removing 100 mm gun (it would be also slight nerf for Bat Chat, because his user had to research this gun)? Lorraines have such great influance on battle because they can penetrate anyone on battlefield which is impossible for other VIII tier meds.

Kongtiger, on 02 February 2012 - 02:11 PM, said: Overlord - I think the best MM should acoount for "skill"- team members should have more or less same experience and that could be evaluated using your ingame global ranking - we all have our global rank calculated by you. Then we would exclude matches which annoys us all - when 5 or 6 players die in 1st minute or die foolishly and you still loose beiing killing five or even more.

kamilus, on 02 February 2012 - 02:07 PM, said: I'd like to ask one question about expierience on tanks. Assume I have elite Ferdinand in my garage. I research Jagdtiger, but still playing on my Ferdi. After some time I get on it (e.g.) 20k exp. In one of incoming patches second German TD's tree is added, so my Ferdinand will be moved to another tree, and in its place I will have another TD (lets call it X).
So here is the question: is this 20k exp will be moved with Ferdinand to another TD tree, or that expierience will stay on tank X (in place where it was earned)?

Cpt_Kawa, on 02 February 2012 - 01:41 PM, said: First of all stop calling some game mechanics in WoT random, as they are not. They can't as they are produced by algorithms, so maybe they seem random but they aren't. Producing real randomness would be based on physical processes like a real dice roll or radioactive decay and so on and it is doubtful that the "WoT - randomness" is based on such processes.
But you actually knew what I was aiming for, but probably I should write it more clearly:
"Why can't we choose what maps we want to play and what maps we don't want to play?"
Personally there are some maps I really dislike and it is fkin annoying to be forced to play those.
I can't think of a round based shooter where you can't select maps. So please explain.

Snib, on 02 February 2012 - 12:44 PM, said: While the effect is the same, previously it was actually said that Accelerate Crew Training distributes the entire XP the tank would earn (100%, since 5% free XP are bonus) to the crew member with the least total XP (0.6.4 patch notes), in addition to the same amount of XP that is regularly being shared by all crew members.
Is that still correct Overlord? (I assume your avg. 25% was just a reference to an average crew count of 4?)

Snib, on 02 February 2012 - 05:05 AM, said: Overlord, we've done some testing regarding the aiming circle and would appreciate if you could confirm our findings. Is it true that:
Shots are normally distributed around the center of the reticle (wherever the server thinks it is).
The accuracy at 100m value given in the gun descriptions actually describes the standard deviation σ from the center of the reticle, i.e. only 68.27% of all shots will land land within this area.
If 2. is correct, it seems the outer edge of the aiming circle is set at ~ 2.5 σ, i.e. 98.76% of all shots will land within this area.
At close range, the reticle shrinks down to 25% of its original size. Is this just a UI feature or does it mean that shot deviation at close range is reduced by the same factor?
Thanks.

In this case and looking at the further statistics of win ratio by tank country:
In accordance to this statistics and the fact French are going to be nerfed, will the type 59 and all the Russian tanks get nerfed too?
Will the french low tiers get buffed?

trispect, on 02 February 2012 - 08:38 AM, said: About map rotation: Is the rotation truly random or do you have some kind of weighing in it? Since it seem to vary day by day. With this I mean you get some map more ofren than others and some maps hardly at all.
EDIT: So even if you could not exclude maps from rotation completely, it would be nice to get to set lower weighing on some maps you would like to see less often.

Snortsch, on 02 February 2012 - 03:18 AM, said: Hi Overlord,
you can get an estimate on how many matches you have to play before your
crewmembers skill will reach the next percentage point. Turning on "accelerate
crew training" doesn't seem to change this number.
Is the benefit from the accelerated crew training not displayed, or is the acceleration that marginal?
If it just isn't displayed, can you tell me the rough, average percentage of acceleration you
get with this option?
Thx

Sturmtiger_304, on 01 February 2012 - 04:58 PM, said: I just got a very good example of a bug with the stock S-51 gun with normal HE.
http://www.mediafire...fltjzxxuw141op2
(S-51 direct hit no explosions on the sides of the enemy's GW Panthers. I will try to get a Fraps video like I did below.)
This is the exactly the same issue that the GW Tiger had with it's stock 170mm HE gun being fired on it's own tank type.
(Skip to 2:15 for the actual shot example.)
Will this be fixed, the S-51's stock gun haves 900 damage, yet cannot destroy a open topped GW Panther with 500 HP'ish.
