Vallter: This is not the problem with patch, but some issues on the server side. It is just a sad coincidence, that problem happened on the patch day. We are doing our best to fix the issue ASAP

Vallter: Please, maintain the further discussion here.

LiannaSilverwind: Current UTC time:
http://www.worldtime...ime_in_UTC.aspx

LiannaSilverwind: I still wait for historical mode, Summer 1941. T-34 (76 mm) and KV-1 (76 mm) vs. Pz III (37 mm, short 50 mm, long 50 mm) and Pz. IV (short 75 mm).

LiannaSilverwind: New tanks bring new possibilities and new features like "I can detect someone on the other side of the map with rear-left corner of my T-15's commander cupola". We can discuss everything considering spotting system here.

LiannaSilverwind: Hello people!
This is official SPG / Arty thread to gather all information at one place.
Please discuss SPG vehicles and artillery in general in patch 0.6.6 here.

LiannaSilverwind: Hello people!
Please discuss view range and spotting system under patch 0.6.6 here.

Overlord: Thanks for pointing that out.

LiannaSilverwind: Detailed analysis of ingame IS-7 with lots of screens revealing dark truth about its armor... or lack of it.
http://forum.worldof...+%D0%B8%D1%81-7
Link is to the Russian forum because on our forum we do not have such detailed analysis with historical documents and deep ingame tests.

Overlord: Maintenance works extended till 13:00 UTC due to technical issues.

Overlord: Maintenance works extended till 13:00 UTC due to technical issues.

LiannaSilverwind: IS-7 weak points from the front:
1) Lower hull armor, bigger than IS-4's, penetrable with Tier 7 guns reliably
2) Connection of lower and upper hull armor, penetrable with D10T gun (T-34-85, tier 6) reliably

Decept1on: up

Overlord: The links there seem to be correct.

Overlord: We expect it in Q4 2011.

Overlord: Unrealistic.

Overlord: Its not strictly true. Debatable at least. Eg VK 4502 is rather effective with the long 105mm.

Overlord: Nope, dont have such plans.

Overlord: Release version of the update is based on test3 patch.

Overlord: EU server downtime:
4:00 am - 12 :00 UTC
Reason: release of 6.6 update.

OldFox: Forsi, paldies!

Vallter: Yes

Vallter: Yes, and the final score will be the sum of 3 battle results, as always.

OldFox: Ar so pasakumu organizatajiem vajag sadraudzeties. Kurs zin vinu koordinatus?

Vallter: MVP events work as intended. We are planning to make an automatically rewarded daily ratings soon, but this will be a totally separated type of events.

Overlord: Nope, the size doesn't matter much. Plus we reserve some time just in case.

Vallter: What can give you victory or loss besides kills? What can help an outnumbered tank? What can stop a rush of clashing avalanche of Heavy Tanks? Cap or defence of the base.

Overlord: What increases the chances for your question to be answered:
1) formulated in a smart, respectful, and concise way
2) not a repeated, frequently asked one
3) does not require any time-consuming research

Mr_Kubrick: Le concours est désormais officiellement terminé. Les résultats arrivent bientôt!
Merci à tous d'avoir participé !
Gaulois, stealth corrector!

2. Roughly - 120/80/60.

Overlord: Yes, it will be extended.

Mr_Kubrick: Oui! C'est exactement ça!
