It's Götaland, not Getland (which translates into Goatland )
Vasterbotten is Västerbotten, Krunuberg is Kronoberg, and Jmtland is Jämtland.
I don't speak finnish, but atleast in Swedish Lapland should be Lappland.
Hope i can be of assistance!

If I may add a little translation note:
One of southern Italy regions is named "CAMPAIGN", shouldn't it be "CAMPANIA"? (like in Italian, not sure "campaign" is the correct translation, as it would be "Campagna", and not the actual "Campania".
Just a detail.

NEMESIS, on 01 February 2011 - 11:49 PM, said: Overlord when can we expect these fixes and adjustments to the german line to be made? Will we get to see them in open beta to test see if they actually work or not? or will we just have to try our luck going for german line on release just to hope they`ll get fixed sooner rather then later.
Personally i don`t fancy spending time and money playing with russian tanks even tough some are better and some are just ridiculously better then german tanks,american tanks are also out of the question due to horrid ugliness and for me and surely alot others if i can`t play german tanks its really a deal-breaker,the idea of being able to play the famed Tiger,King Tiger and especially the Maus thats what made me joined the game and have 2 other friends that join for the exact same reason.
You should concentrate all your efforts on fixing the german tanks and balancing the best you can all 3 existing nations before adding any more nation to me its preaty strange why you`d chose to focus on french tanks when nobody`s really interested in them instead of completing the full tech trees for the existing nations.
My personal thought is that all newbies coming to the game will split 45% on german,30% on russian and remaining american which means if they`ll notice later down the line that they stink they
might not have the patience or will to go for other nations or wait for fixes that they don`t know when their going to come.
PS: Did you read my previous post(page 10)? When are the devs going to read through all the posts to make sure they didn`t miss any ideas ?

but atm. its like Russian Guns = more pen more dmg and same RoF
On a more serious note, I know the devs are fixing the Mudguard issue on the Maus but what about the side armour? What I mean by that is, the whole issue with the mudguards is that all the shell is hitting is the track, so it shouldn't damage the tank itself which it currently does.. but that can be said for the lower side of the Maus armour too, can't it? The Red line on the pic below is the area of side armour I'm talking about here.
pic1
You look at a cross section of a Maus, to damage the hull from a lower side shot, the shell would have to go through the armour and then through the entire track/wheel layout before it actually reaches the hull, so just like with the mudguards, why is it when someone hits you in the lower section of your side armour, you lose HP?
It could also be noted that when you look at another cross-section of the Maus, even if a shell does manage to get through the lower side armour and the track/wheels it still then has to penetrate a second layer of armour 80mm thick. You put all that together, surely damaging the Maus' hull from a low side-shot should be impossible?.. or at least, harder than it currently is.

Gigaton, on 03 February 2011 - 05:24 PM, said: If I have understood correctly, joining a clan costs no gold. If so, it seems odd that participating into clan wars as third party player will cost gold.
Also, will you offer skins only for gold, or can you buy less fancy skins for credits? Are the skins going to give any gameplay bonuses, like small camo bonus?


Azmodanrom, on 03 February 2011 - 06:16 PM, said: no. i think he was referring to the fact that mercenary license will cost gold. this intrigued me as well.
a normal player needs no gold to enter a clan and participate in clan wars but needs to pay gold (real money) to be a mercenary? seems very wrong.
i was under the impression that the mercenary system is for the "casual" players. if it cost gold to buy and renew the license .. than mercenary is for the most extreme hardcores :/


Convi, on 03 February 2011 - 06:36 PM, said: Quick question
1. Why clans are limited to 100 ppl?. Some real clans must be divided into some 'clans' ingame. I would like clans to have some kind of 'tiers' maybe and some kind of tech tree for clan wars. Every higher 'tier' of clan would allow more members and higher tax or lower uprising risk. Or buying extra slots, even for gold...

Due to historical reasons this is not correct, because Tiger I was "better in defense combat" than the Panther to the end of the war. (Alfred Rubbel, Erinnerungen an die Tigerabteilung 503, 2nd edition Würzbug: Flechsig 2010). Would be better to have them in the same Tier level.
What to have as Tier 6 or 7 I´m not quite sure. Maybe the 3601 as 6 and P-Tiger as 7 as remaining prototypes.

Please let us have some way, through normal matchmaking, to not get to meet those idiotically heavy, stupidly overgunned, ridicilously well armoured, insanely hugely hitpoint-pooled silly-machines. I'm fine in my T-34/57 to meet Tier 7 and 8 tanks. I don't mind coming face to face with a King Tiger with my VK3001P. But after Tier 8 things just get so stupidly good in all concievable ways, that there's not really any way to play any of the 'famous WW2 tanks', and have fun at the same time.

Skjold, on 30 January 2011 - 08:04 PM, said: Question to Overlord:
I've read the patch notes and apparantly there is HP boost for most higher tier german guns, which is good.
However, my Maus has a very common problem that my gun gets damaged/knocked out atleast 50 % of the games im in.
I platoon alot with IS-7's aswell as T-30's who claim that they don't anywhere near the same amount of trouble with getting their guns knocked out.
So a simple question, Is there any HP boost planned for the Maus 128 mm gun?
Thanks in advance.

cedars, on 30 January 2011 - 09:50 PM, said: CW beta should be played before release as testing a game that you are paying for is not ideal
Many people have concerns that at least some battles should be balanced to allow lower tier tanks to participate and create more scope for strategy (over brute strength).
Personally I am not sure I agree, but they may well be right.
Shouldnt this be tested before the actual release of the game?
Also I bet you there are some teething problems with cws. i mean there has to be.
Should we really be working through these, while we are actually paying for the game?
I mean I am not looking forward to the hardwipe and the sooner the better for me, BUT you have to test the cw beta first, seems pretty obvious to me.

Steiner, on 30 January 2011 - 04:34 PM, said: I'm sure there's many dedicated fans like me who wants to hit the ground running on release and to do that you need premium from day 1!
Here's my suggestion to Wargaming:
How about allowing us to 'pre-order' gold up until release (maybe as a thank you a 5-10% bonus gold) so that on release day we're guaranteed to have premium at launch.
Not only would this give a cash injection running up to release for the developer, it could also work as a indicator as to how willing the player base is to pay for the game, i.e. a win-win situation for all.

Link on message: #387989

TurboMK, on 29 January 2011 - 08:34 PM, said: I started playing 14days ago. This game looks fine for me, and I’m interesting about history technic, especially military vehicles, planes, ships, weaponry etc. So its look great for me. I joined closed beta at right time. Exp and money goes 5 times faster, and I easily gain higher tanks. So my frustration with some vehicles has been passed soon, because I could buy new one with relative easy. As the fun days ends I quickly recognize that’s another MMO you need to spend thousands of hours to can get something useful. Same as Eve or WoW or Navyfiled. And the reason why I stop to playing it, and never pay for this will be same. I’m busy man, have good job and not enough time to do that. I could play couple of hours per day, or week. And I want to have as fun and relaxation as I could have. Play whole day to can gain a little better gun it’s not fun for me. That’s the first reason why I will not continue playing.
Second one is realistic. I understand that game is for thousands (maybe million) of peoples, which are not interesting in history or realistic, but arcade gaming. So this game it’s not for me. I want closed cockpits, real visibility, real ballistics and real damage models and real tanks. I don’t need hundred types of tanks. Only few of them, but real. And with correct year. There could be game limits for specific year (up to 1939, 1941, 1943, 1945, and after 2ndWW). It’s absolutely unrealistic to play with tanks like T29, T30 or T-54, IS-7 against Tiger or Pz IV. You can directly put Abrams or T-90 into game. It will be the same.
Visibility, damage models and ballistics are too simple for me. For first tank battles was made on real big places. Especially at Russian front. There could be shot range at 2 or more km. One of German tanks advantage was high accuracy and penetration of their guns at high range. Important was good position and good situation awareness. Was easy to see and hit enemy for 1 or more km. Limitation to 500m is nonsense. And invisible tanks are crazy idea to balance game. Of course more realistic needs much bigger maps. Damage models have common problem. When you penetrate armor you got high chance to kill everyone inside, or make tank disable. Repairing belts into battle was almost unrealistic. In real it’s possible to shot over top of the hill. And there is real heavy weight of shells. You need to calculate with this when you fire, or recalibrate your sights to correct distance. Not just push fire into green circle .
So they are reasons why I’m not interesting about this game. I understand that’s made for half million of /edited players which are not interesting about reality, but needs to push fire and have lots of time to do that. I’m not. Wish you luck with development and let me know when you add realistic mod.
