TheKroo:   Yes,   Renault Otsu, Tier I Light Tank. Credited with release to all registered players with 100% trained crew and garage slot.

PanzerGert: Da hab ich leider noch nix zu, wir warten da ebenfalls auf Info. 

LiannaSilverwind:   Scarlett has 396 Brothers in Arms awards (one per seven battles played) that are pretty hard to get solo. That does not diminish her great results!

Hunter1911:   We regret that we didn't communicate this issue well. Please see this comment from CM Brynd: link.   On the other hand, I would not call this topic meaningless. OP has asked a fair question, I was able to provide him with a reply which I believed would be helpful, and so I have replied.

vuque: Arkadaşlar,   Buraya gelip biz bir hata yaptık demek ve bu bilgileri sizlere vermek kolay değil ancak ben buraya gelerek bunu yaptım.   Ne olup bittiği hakkında fikriniz olmamasındansa en azından neyin nasıl olduğunu bilmeniz gerektiğine inandığım için bunu yaptım ve görüyorum ki eksi yağmuruna tutulmaktayım çünkü bu durum hoşunuza gitmedi ve bunu göstermek istediniz ve sizleri kesinlikle anlıyorum, bu konunun böyle olmaması gerektiği konusunda haklısınız ve bundan daha iyisini hak ettiğinize de sonuna kadar inanıyorum ancak elçiye zeval olmaz atasözümüzü hatırlatmak istiyorum.   Göreve başlama yazımda da yazdığım gibi sizlerle dürüstlük temelinde samimi bir iletişim kurmak niyetindeyim ve bu durumda neler hissettiğinizi bir oyuncu olarak bende çok iyi anlayabiliyorum ve kesinlikle haklı olduğunuzu belirtiyorum ancak tepkinizi gösterme şeklinizin yanlış olduğunu da ek not olarak belirtiyorum.   Anlayışınız için gerçekten çok teşekkür ederim,    

Hunter1911: Da ponovim osobno ono sto je kolega engleski community manager - Brynd vec napisao ovdje:   Krivo smo prenijeli kako ce specijali funkcionirati u odnosu na IS-6 misiju, kao sto ste mogli vidjeti, ono sto smo rekli bilo je netocno. Pogreska u izrazavanju je ispravljena, naravno to ne pomaze onim igracima koji su napravili planove vezane uz ovaj specijal.   Jos jednom, iskreno se ispricavamo radi pogreske.

PanzerGert: Dem kann ich in der Tat nichts hinzufügen.  

PanzerGert: Termine hab ich viele, aber hierzu leider nicht.
Wie dem auch sei, lasst euch eure Stimmung deswegen nicht völlig vermiesen, die doppelten XP für jedes Gefecht nach dem ersten Sieg gibt es noch immer, auch wenn diese eben nicht für die Mission hier angerechnet werden.

Brynd:   I am a great fan of some images posted to forum threads. But I need to make it clear to you though that the atmosphere in our office right now is so totally opposite to this image. None of this is fun, nobody has champagne. We're all massive games fans and some of us have been for more than a couple of decades. We quite frankly feel awful and when we say we are sorry, we really are.

Dakiras:   I understand that many have changed their plans to accommodate the event, and our apology is definitely not going to fix that. It's heartbreaking to know that so many dedicated players will be negatively affected by this error, but right now all we can do is raise our hands and own up to that.

Brynd: I've posted over in Special: 2013 Retroactive thread already, but it should be said here too. We stated that the special would work in conjunction with the IS-6 mission and of course this turned out to be quite wrong.   While we have been working hard to avoid this kind of mistake, as you can see we still have some way to go to improve our communication with you. We will continue to work on this though.   We think this kind of mistake is totally not acceptable and we strongly believe you deserve better than this. We are very sorry for misleading you.    

Dakiras: Yes we made a mistake, and for that an apology - though a fairly inadequate recompense - is in order: Sorry.   I see some demands for truth, but actually the only truth is that we announced something incorrectly. It wasn't intentional as many are claiming it to be. It was a genuine, and rather impacting error.   Again, apologies.

Brynd: It's not easy to be the one to come along and say "we screwed up" but here I am, and I'm going to say exactly that.   We communicated how it seemed the special would work in conjunction with the IS-6 mission and as you've seen, what we said was essentially quite wrong. Though we've gone back and edited articles, of course this doesn't help in any way to alleviate the situation for those who planned to take advantage of this.   We're truly very sorry that we did this. 

LiannaSilverwind:   I'm collecting data for long time as I'm quite fond of statistics. They also help me understand current WG ideas and how well does real conspiracy work. You take data for player A in T-54 before T-62A and Serbogold ammo, count down frags per battle and average kills ratio. Then you compare data for the same player A in T-54 in present time. You find out that his damage and frags ratio go down. I've checked only players with highly above average stats. This works for tier 9 tanks I've compared data for, ie. T-54 and Patton (ignoring old Pershing).

IPaul72: Hello & Seasons Greetings Thank you for the video and tutorial very good work  Kind Regards IPaul72

LiannaSilverwind:   For sure it is.   Old times tier 9 mediums/TDs had better stats than current tier 9 mediums/TDs as old-timers were implemented as nearly equal to tiers 10 heavies. Checking stats of old times unicums I've noticed that their "old time" tiers 9 have much better damage than the same versions in presence.

vuque: Merhabalar,   Kazandığınız normal deneyimler görevin işleyişi sırasında sayılmaktadır ancak ekstra olarak gelen 2 katı bonusları ne yazık ki sayılmamaktadır.   Öncelikle böyle bir durum yaşandığı doğrudur ve portaldaki haber doğru olacak şekilde değiştirilmiştir. Bu durumun sizlere olumsuz olarak yansıdığının ve can sıkmış olabileceğinin farkındayız ve bu durum için gerçekten üzgünüz.   Dürüst bir şekilde hatanın nerede olduğunu ve neden böyle bir şey yaşandığını açıklayacağım ve umarım bu; durum hakkında daha detaylı bilgi sahibi olmanızı sağlar.   Durum bir iletişim sıkıntısı yüzünden oluştu; Ana merkez(Minsk) ile olan iletişim sırasındaki bir yanlış anlaşılmadan dolayı haber yazılırken bu 2 katı deneyimlerin görevlerde sayılacağı zannedildiğinden sizlere olayın bu yönünüde göstermek ve görevi tamamlamaya teşvik etmek açısından haber öyle yazıldı.
Ancak sonradan anlaşıldığı üzere gelen 2 katı deneyimler savaş sonu ekranında Görev Ödülü olarak gözüktüğünden, mekanizma gereği bu görev ödülleri diğer görevlerin ilerleyişine etki etmediğinden, bu deneyimler görevi daha çabuk tamamlamanızı sağlamayacaktır.   Bu durum anlaşılır anlaşılmaz haber düzeltilmiştir ve böyle bir olay yaşandığı için gerçekten üzgünüz ve sizlerden özür diliyoruz.   Bundan sonra böyle hataların yaşanmaması için daha dikkatli olmaya ve sizlere kusursuz bir hizmet vermeye gayret edeceğiz!   Anlayışınız için çok teşekkürler,  

PanzerGert: Wenn ich eines Tages unerwarteterweise einen Preis erhalte, geb ich Bescheid.   

PanzerGert: Wie in guten, so in schlechten Zeiten, oder wie war das noch?   Da es sich im Moment leider nicht ändern lässt, sollt ihr zumindest Bescheid wissen. Eure Reaktion kann ich nur zu gut nachvollziehen.

Dakiras:   Seasonal Greetings!
As you may or may not know, Christmas carols are often sung in certain places around the world to celebrate this festive season. We have a unique competition to celebrate this fine event, in which we take the 12 days of Christmas song and make it World of Tanks themed.    All 12 verses must be completed in time for Christmas at the rate of one line per day, with a prize for each day. All we're asking is for you to help us re-write this popular carol, one line at a time. The line for today is highlighted in orange here as an example:   On the eighth day of Christmas My true love gave to me   Eight maids-a-milking   Seven Tigers Napping
Six arties missing Five Lucky Dings! Four Wolverines 3 shots from Lorraines
Two driver's gloves
And the new "Get FOCH'd" tee   Adapt this orange line to a world of tanks themed sentence that rhymes with the verse (see the example below).   At the end of the competition all 12 verses will be published on the forum. Lets see how adaptive and creative our community can be!
  The Reward is: Bonus Code: 1 Free Garage Slot
300 gold
1 Day Premium
Premium Light Tank M3 Stuart  The Rules: All answers must be posted within this topic. Answers sent any other way will not be counted. Edited posts will not count and only one post per player.

Entries after 23:59 20/12/13 CET are ineligible   Example: On the eighth day of Christmas My true love gave to me:   Eight shots-a-bouncing   Seven Tigers Napping
Six arties missing Five Lucky Dings! Four Wolverines 3 shots from Lorraines

And the new "Get FOCH'd" tee   Seasonal Regards Your Community Team  

Dakiras: It's getting increasingly more difficult for us to pick out the winners in these contests, and this is what we like to see! Thanks to everyone who took part and posted their adaptations of the verse!   Today's winner is: Pichu_Trainer! Congratulations.    We're revving the engines and loading the shells for the next part of the contest, which will be posted very shortly. Get ready, Commanders! Let's make the next one REALLY hard for iScending to judge. 

PanzerGert: Du liegst damit leider völlig richtig, das ist falsch kommuniziert worden. Es ist jedoch, nachdem wir aufgrund eurer Meldungen nachgehakt haben, uns klar mitgeteilt worden das dies so nicht beabsichtigt war.
Momentan haben wir leider keine Handhabe das zu ändern. Von daher kann ich euren Frust nur zu gut nachvollziehen, zumindest ist es erstmal geklärt worden, wenn auch sicherlich niemand damit zufrieden sein kann.   

PanzerGert: Davon ist mir nichts bekannt das es auf dem RU-Server so wäre. Aber intern wird das eh noch weiter verfolgt werden.

Hunter1911:   Awesome, glad I could be of help :)

TheKroo:   Awesome, glad I could be of help :)

TheyCallMeHans:   Awesome, glad I could be of help :)

Hunter1911:   I think the main reasons of IS-7 never going into mass-production were its cost, the relative heaviness and thus problematic with Soviet terrain and infrastructure, and the fact that for the same amount of money, you could get a more numerous amount of other tanks, in this case T-55 - which went down the wind with old Soviet WWII doctrine of numbers and mass-production being a key factor for the victory.   Mass-production of IS-7 would be far more difficult.

PanzerGert: Es ist leider tatsächlich so, die Bonus XP für die Gefechte (bis auf der erste Gewinn des Tages) sind nicht in der IS-6 Mission enthalten. Dort werden lediglich die einfachen XP zur Erfüllung der Mission berücksichtigt.   Es tut mir Leid das dies nicht korrekt kommuniziert wurde. Entsprechend habe ich das intern auch deutlich kommentiert, aber ändern lässt es sich momentan nicht.

Ectar: On the EU server you get 5x exp for the first win of the day from the the 27th to the 29th of December regardless of how many players are on our servers.  Events for EU and NA won't always be the same as RU and bonuses events will never be global every time.

Hunter1911:   For the bolder part. The Jagdtiger 88 is quite similar to the Dicker Max in that field. It is not really fast, so you have to be quite careful which flank and position you pick, as relocation takes quite a while. The armour is the same as standard Jagdtiger, with difference being the 88mm gun used on this variant. Reload is insanely fast and the shells are cheap, which makes for good DPM and nice earning. If you are used to German TD's, you will do well with the JTiger.   Then again, if you wish a change of vehicle, FCM may not be a bad idea.

Hunter1911: Try doing an integrity check. It will check if your game has any corruptions. Please create new shortcut for wot launcher.
Add -integrity in target as "D:\Games\World_Of_Tanks\WOTLauncher.exe" -integrity
  To explain what a mod is: it is a modification of the game. But as you have stated not to use them, no need to worry about that.
