OldFox: Si tema ari vajag paskatities cilvekus, jo seit ari ir pierakstijusies braucienam.

Overlord: Most likely they will come in Q1 2012.

OldFox: Ja, starp citu: ludzu moderatorus caur forumu noskaidrot, vai bus cilveki, kas pievienosies autobusam Jelgava, Dobele, Saldu. Jo ja vinus nav, tad mums nav jegas braukt apkart Latvijai - varam pa taisno caur Tukumu.

OldFox: Marsruts Riga-Jelgava-Dobele-Saldus-Broceni-Zante.

- Initial package of French tanks comes this Fall then HT USSR, TD USSR, TD Germany lines are going to be expanded.

Discuss it!

OldFox: Ceram izbraukt no Rigas ap 11:00. Braukt lidz Zantei apmeram 3 stundas. Tas sanak ap 14:00.

Vallter: I'm back from vacations and have cleaned the topic. Please, look through it, find your submission. If you have an inscription in red in the message, please, correct it. If you don't find any, then everything is ok.
Do not worry, though kits will be considered as well, good (attention, a good model), hand made from paper without any ready paintings, will receive more points.
Yes, you can paint your works.

LiannaSilverwind: We work with them now... but do not tell anyone!

LiannaSilverwind: Therefore you do not consider tearing apart (autumn 1938) and later occupying (spring 1939) remnants of independent state being act of aggression? What about its citizens who became second-class labour force for the Reich? How did they like the idea to either become Germanized or eliminated later?
By the way it is very interesting to read "alliance plans against Germany" between Great Britain, France, Poland and Soviet Union in summer 1939. You can check Richard Overy's "Russia's War" to check the ideas, feelings, proposals and intentions of all sides. Notice that one ally - Czechoslovakia - was already sacrificed in Munich.

LiannaSilverwind: You can move crew members if you want, but it is not needed, it's your option.
You can take experienced crew member to another tank, he will lose some XP for re-training, unless you pay gold for re-training him. He will still retain his skills like Repair/Camo/Firefighting.
You can take new crew member as well, train him for credits or gold if you want, or leave him on 50%. He will not have any skills.
If you plan to sell the former tank, I advice to transfer crew to the new tank definitely.

LiannaSilverwind: I have found interesting thing in Russian forum Tiger discussion.
Big Boss SerB was asked to shut up and play Tiger solo in random before speaking about this tank. He accepted the challenge and here is the result: http://challenge.wor...ounts/461-SerB/, he has played 98 battles and got 56 wins with it. Not huge amount of battles, but still providing some data.
Balancer Guru Zlobny has Tiger in his stats as well: http://challenge.wor...ts/408-Zlobny/. 100 battles, 56 wins.
Infamous Victor Kisly has Tiger as well: http://challenge.wor...291-VictorKis/. 201 battles, 97 wins.
Just curious data about some devs playing Tigers. I did not check full WG clan.
Please do not bash Naeron. When mods post in black, we are just normal players providing and sharing our own opinions.

LiannaSilverwind: Please try it with
1) Your boss at work
2) Your wife
3) Policeman
Can you post us the results? Thank you!

Overlord: Not in the upcoming 1.5 months. That's safe.

Overlord: Reference materials don't list camo value in vehicle specs, do they? Real life tankers had quite limited understanding of how visible their tank was.
General pattern is the following: the larger the tank is, and the more powerful engine it has, the lower its camo value.

Overlord: 3) and 4) may come in different order. At this stage of development the initial package of French vehicles is somewhat closer to being finished.

Overlord: No, it won't.

Overlord: Don't have such bug listed.

Overlord: KT stays at tier 8, the revision was announced 3 months in advance. There is nothing to compensate and refund.

Overlord: Possibly in future, but not in 6.6.

Overlord: Nope, not true.

Overlord: Approximately this way:
1) 6.6 stuff
2) M4A3E2, tier 5 LTs
3) French tanks
4) US and USSR tree revision
...
n) British tanks on

Overlord: Camo values are regarded as a part of internal game design data. Our guys don't want them to go public.

Mr_Kubrick: Oui, je m'excuse, les gars. bien sur que tout les Francophones peuvent y participer!!! J’espère qu'on n'a vexé personne.

Vallter: Please, look at the example in the contest topic.

Mr_Kubrick: Et vice versa  

vuque: First of all i want to say "Thank you" to WG and developers for they took all of my game pleasure and they gave me a pain in the head with that American Medium Line change's!
When i had the T9 Pershing(The old one) i was enjoyed to play that tank and it was a real fun to play even it has a weak armour and speed.And when i get bored to grind other tank's i used to jump my pershing and play couple game's and that tooks all of my negativeness.
But now to play Patton just make's me angry because of the reasons which Livehosting's told.I just can't stand to play that tank anymore.I can't even play to get my daily double's.That tank disgust's me now.I just hate it.
For me the critical point's need to be fixed as soon as possible are;
Accuracy(Even when you stand still it has slightly worse Accuracy)-Manoeuvre(You lost your speed a lot when you are turning around sth)-Armour(Nothing is not changed.You can still get penetrated by tier 4-5's.And now you have even worse turret)
And i am afriad that will happen to E-50 player's when the German Medium Line change's comes too.
I really don't get it.Why you are dissapoint your customers?If you dissapoint them they will dissapoint you too at the end;do not forget that because now you are without a rival but that will not remain until the end of the world.When people's find an alternative to you they will go there.But if you keep your customer's happy why should they change their game?

LiannaSilverwind: They can get into the same battle, but usually both teams get "some tier 9, some tier 8, some tier 7" etc. Rarely one tier is completely missed, for example: "one tier 8 for both, 2 tier 7 for one, none for the other, 1 tier 6 for one, 6 tier 6 for the other" etc. I have never seen both teams missing top tier completely, ie. top tank is tier 9 vs top tank of tier 8 for example.
I hope we can get better details from devs.

LiannaSilverwind: Inability to choose players that I do not want to play with in the same team.
Being realistic I doubt it will ever be implemented.

Vallter: Unfortunately, it won't count.
To all.
We do not think this event will encourage kill-stealing to much. Yes, probably the number of these acts will increase slightly for 1 day. But first, only for one day, secondly, only for certain vehicles.
You can submit three battles for each category (9 in total)

Mr_Kubrick: C'est formidable! D’où tu cannais tout ces films russes? En générale, j'aime pas trop les films russes à cause de leurs manières, le façon ils sont faits, avec des acteurs-débutants etc. Oui, je suis d'accord qu'auparavant c’était mieux, mais maintenant c'est encore pire qu'en France.

OldFox: O, lieliski! Liels paldies tev par "know-how".
Ja vel kads varetu so maksasanas veidu aprakstit ta, ka to pirmaja posta izdarija Epror par PayPal...

OldFox: Ne, no pasa sakuma ar vienu.

OldFox: 1. WG nevar ienist vai milet - tas nav cilveks, bet liela kompanija. Un ar maksajumiem nodarbojas, ka jus varat redzet, ne WG, bet cits operators (agregators) - 2pay.ru.
2. Situacija patiesam ir tada, ka 2pay.ru nepienem maksajumus no Latvijas Swedbanka. Kapec? Ej nu zin... Es uzdosu jautajumu, bet situacija diez vai atri nokartosies. Ludzu, izmantojiet citas maksajumu veidus, piem. WebMoney vai PayPal.

Vallter: For example:
In battle 1 player earns 7 frags
In battle 2 - 15
In battle 3 - 14
His score is 14+15+7=36 - if it is the highest result, he wins.

Vallter: You are to submit three, the final score is a sum

Vallter: No, it's not

Vallter: You can submit less, but not more.
