1945 togehter and see whats come out? Is the P-1000 "Ratte" or
P-1500 "Monster" allowed to mod around? ok, in theorie they
conceped in 1943 and the prototype are in progress at 1945.. so..

Tank_Driver, on 29 March 2011 - 02:33 PM, said: So i understand there is almost no limit in designing. Where does
the difference between tank and tank-destroyer start? Since the M18
hellcat was a tank-destryer with a turret and the MkVIII
International was a heavy tank (without any turrets). So is a
tank-destroyer allowed or would it make no chance? Or can I say it
will be a heavy tank without a turret. (Also that is par of my
imagination) 
tnx in forward.

Cheeka: Everything that is part of your imagination (within the frames of

WhiteHyena, on 30 March 2011 - 02:52 AM, said: HP is no substitute for superior armour, which the Russians have.
No the Maus does not have 'the best armour' its got 'Ok' armour
riddled with massive weakspots.

Link on message: #450293

LiannaSilverwind: I apologize for off-topic, but somehow Maus tank is still being
used by top clans on both EU and RU servers as ideal defensive
vehicle in tournaments/leagues/clan wars. Thanks to immensive
amount of HP it lives much longer than more universal IS-7 or ideal
vanquisher T30. Considering properly shooting team always
penetrates enemy armor, the only important thing remaining is...
HP. Maus wins there, therefore that is the reason why it is far
from being extinct.

LiannaSilverwind: I hated Malinovka with passion. Then I started to realize that it
is in fact great map for teamwork. The team that works as a team
will win.
It is a great map with lots of interesting tactics and places.
Personally, I hate El-Halluf the most. I hope that one day I will realize that it is as great as Malinovka.

single game.
On that adress, if you ARE, in fact, getting killed or damaged by teamkillers oftet, then,
There is one good idea to relief you off your repair bills in case you get shot by allies, intentiona or not
You get % of relief equal to % of health lost by friendly fire.
So if you lost 1% HP from fiendly fire, you will get -1% repair costs (to prevent exploits of the system)
If you are killed by a teamkiller, you wont get ANY repair costs, is that fine?
A littlecorrection: If your module is damaged by friendly fire, you get -10% repair costs, except for the tracks, wich are only -5% repair cost.
Overlord, you like my idea?

Overlord: Up to 50% of victim's repair costs are going to be refunded at
violator's expense. In addition to it violator may be punished by
lowering his credit and experience income.
These features should be ready in the next patch.

Overlord: Why not? The first T-54 prototypes were constructed in 1945
(summer). Do you think you can win submitting T-54s design.

guys have more than one account and nothing stops them from getting
back to TKs once the ban is over.
Second, players are alone against this. You can't do anything about it except sending an email to denounce the guy and nobody assures you that will be enough to ban that player.
Given you can't eliminate the problem in the roots, Teamkillers or teamdamagers will keep harassing matches.
What you get instead ? A ruined match and repairs to pay.
I suggest you implement a way to make every friendly fire damage paid by the offender, casual or intended.
