Gnomon: Thanks for all the feedback so far, everyone! The Dark Front event will end on Sunday, so please feel free to add any more feedback to this thread so it can be included in my final report.  

Gnomon: HELLO AND GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL! CAPS! I just wanted to let you know that, starting today and going until Nov. 11th, we are taking time to observe a key battle during World War II that took place in Egypt - the Second Battle of El Alamein. You can select one of the historical participant nations for a series of challenging missions. You can earn rewards such as consumables and a Garage Slot!  But, please be aware, that you can only do missions for one of the two nations, but not both.  While in-game, you need to first fulfill the conditions for the "Choose U.K." or "Choose Italy" missions. Once you select a mission and it is complete, you are committed to the remaining missions as that nation.  If you've already played battles and are not sure which missions you have enabled, check the in-game client. Keep in mind, that it may take a few minutes for the missions to appear in the client after completing the "Choose" mission.  Check out our article or open the spoiler below for more information - Special Missions: Second Battle of El Alamein Second Battle of El AlameinSpecial Mission: Second Battle of El Alamein: Nov. 1-11, 04:20 PT | 06:20 CT | 07:20 ET MISSIONS FOR U.K. FORCES: MISSION: CHOOSE U.K.Conditions:Play a battle (Victory or Defeat)Restrictions:Grand and Random battles only Must be in a U.K. vehicle Once per account U.K. MISSION: FIGHT UNDER MONTGOMERYRewards:3x Large First Aid KitsConditions:Damage a German or Italian vehicleRestrictions:Grand and Random battles only Must have completed the "Choose U.K." mission Must be in a U.K. vehicle Tier IV or higher Once per day U.K. MISSION: OPERATION SUPERCHARGERewards:3x Large Repair KitsConditions:Destroy a German or Italian vehicle and win the battleRestrictions:Grand and Random battles only Must have completed the "Choose U.K." mission Must be in a U.K. vehicle Tier IV or higher Once per day U.K. MISSION: SECOND BATTLE OF EL ALAMEINRewards:6x Emblems: U.K. Flag (goes to Depot) 1x Garage SlotConditions:Win a battleRestrictions:Complete "Fight Under Montgomery" mission three (3) times Complete "Operation Supercharge" mission three (3) times Grand and Random battles only Must be in a U.K. vehicle Tier IV or higher  MISSIONS FOR ITALIAN FORCES: MISSION: CHOOSE ITALYConditions:Play a battle (Victory or Defeat)Restrictions:Grand and Random battles only Must be in an Italian tank Once per account ITALY MISSION: FIGHT UNDER ROMMELRewards:3x Large First Aid KitsConditions:Destroy a U.K. vehicleRestrictions:Grand and Random battles only Must have completed the "Choose Italy" mission Must be in an Italian tank Tier IV or higher Once per day ITALY MISSION: BREAK-OUTRewards:3x Large Repair KitsConditions:Win a battle by base capture and survive the battleRestrictions:Grand and Random battles only Must have completed the "Choose Italy" mission Must be in an Italian tank Tier IV or higher Once per day ITALY MISSION: ALTERNATIVE HISTORY Rewards:6x Emblems: Italian Flag (goes to Depot) 1x Garage SlotConditions:Win a battleRestrictions:Complete "Fight Under Rommel" mission three (3) times Complete "Break-Out" mission three (3) times Grand and Random battles only Must be in an Italian tank Tier IV or higher 

Gnomon: Good morning, everyone!  Hope that you're having a great week so far!  It's time for Gnomon's Tank Sales of Something or Something...or yeah. Use your imagination to come up with a name for it, that's half the fun.  I wanted to let you know about our 96-hour offer for the Object 252U. This is a Soviet Tier VIII heavy tank that can take huge chunks out of the enemy's health. However, it does a low rate of fire and not the best accuracy, which means you've got to get up close and personal with this titan. This Object 252 U is the non-Defender version (meaning you can customize the look of the tank how you like.  Check out our article or open the spoiler below for bundle information: 96-Hour Offer: Object 252U Object 252U Bundles Special 96-Hour Offer: Object 252U

TeriyakiTanker:  Without knowing for sure I am assuming this is your practice account so I will tell you that you seem to be doing pretty well for someone with basically 1000 battles who only plays tier VIII.  If I were you I wouldn't worry about your win rate because at this low of a battle count it will fluctuate up and down a lot.  I basically started the same way you have by buying a bunch of tier VIII premiums and just diving right in.  No clue if it was a mistake or not but its how I wanted to start playing so I didn't and don't really care.  You can learn the game at any tier but when learning at tier VIII  you need to accept that you will be at a disadvantage due to having crappy crews.  It is what it is. There really is no reason to have a practice account by the way as you are just diluting your crew experience at that point.  All you need to do right now is focus on map knowledge and awareness of what is going on around you.  Try and stay alive as long as possible and realize that you don't need to get all your damage in right away.  Be patient and focus on doing damage while staying as safe as possible.  Do not be careless with your health.

TeriyakiTanker: I have 41, including the 260, FV215b, Foch 155, and the FV215 183.  4 More unlocked but not in a hurry to buy them.

Felipe6666Original:   Ahí les mandé el premio faltante   ¡Saludos!

Gnomon:   That was actually going to be my recommendation. I was testing this earlier on my account, and was able to get the Badge. Looking into the cause of it. If you completed it and don't see the badge, shoot over a ticket to CS so they can help you out. 

Gnomon: Yup, you read the title right. I think some of you may have been asking for a preview...maybe.  November is all about giving thanks!

Felipe6666Original:  

Felipe6666Original:   Ya les envié a ambos lo que les faltaba   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   Ah, perdón. No, eso dependerá de la cantidad de jugadores disponibles y la necesidad del sistema de utilizar bots. Las posibilidades de que un jugador de nivel IV o V ingrese a una batalla con jugadores de nivel VI (o VII en el caso de V) depende estrictamente de los jugadores disponibles. Si el sistema no tiene a la mano suficientes jugadores de nivel IV, V y VI para armar una partida, enviará a los primeros contra bots.   ¡Saludos!

MA77:   Todas as compensações foram pagas. Nós entendemos completamente qualquer frustração que essas questões possam ter causado e estamos trabalhando para uma solução permanente para os torneios.

1984BigBrother: I will be making Multiple posts about the  Grand Battle Tournament today. I am going to put all the information in this post. Registration (closed):http://forum.worldof...le-tournament/  Rules:http://forum.worldof...nd-regulations/ Training Rooms Refs and the Countdown:http://forum.worldof...-the-countdown/ Casters and Style:http://forum.worldof...-and-the-style/ Streaming Day 1:  Streaming Day 2: Streaming Day 3: Streaming Day 4: 

1984BigBrother: I will be announcing the casters and style reward for the Grand Battle Tournament because they are related. (not all days will have casters)   First for English casters we have:   SuperNova_o7: https://www.twitch.tv/supernova_o7   Jerm: https://www.twitch.tv/jerm_na   We will be having streamers for the teams (announced later)   Finally, we have our Russian caster LeBwa (finals only). LeBwa recently took part in the Blogger Battle for the RU region:   https://www.youtube....eature=youtu.be (warning video is in Russian) (our guy is the one in the bathtub)     He was by far the most successful in the event, which is why I asked him to cast the finals.   For the event he got a Style in the game:     This will be the reward style for the tournament  

MA77:   ​Há o período de teste de sete dias do Twitch Prime que é gratuito, porém necessita de um cartão de crédito.

1984BigBrother: So after doing a few test battles this weekend, I have developed this format we will be following for making the battles happen. Referees will open the training room at 9 PM ET and send invites starting then.  It is very important to keep the training chat clear so everyone can see messages from the referee  4 mins before the start of the match the Referee will start a countdown for the test battle, they will type the following information in the training chat (or a shorter version of this):4 minutes3 minutes2 minutes1 minute30 seconds (most teams wait until here to ready up tanks)15 seconds (you must have your tanks ready by the time this is called, now tank changes in the last 15 seconds) Test battle does not count as a battle in the match and the idea is to get everyone use to the countdown, the idea is run to the middle and destroy or be destroyed as fast as possible. Right after the test battle is over the ref will start the real 4 min countdown. The last thing is I know that all chat is available in training rooms, please instruct your team to not use this (except GG after the last battle of your match) if teams are breaking this rule I will chat ban all of your accounts.

Felipe6666Original:   No, los bots solo aparecerán en batallas de nivel V máximo. No pueden mezclarse con niveles VI o VII (por más que los jugadores reales sí ). Es una limitación por el nivel de la IA que van a manejar. Para mezclarlos con esos nivles haría falta mejorar su IA para que puedan hacer algo más que ser farmeados como nada.   ¡Saludos!

TeriyakiTanker:   Maybe not but the success of any game is absolutely a democracy, people don't like it they stop paying money and playing which means the game dies.  You don't need to give everyone what they ask for but you do need to give them something they want.  Just like any other business in the world.  the reality is arty should have never ben implemented in the game the way it currently stands.  WG put themselves in a really bad place with arty and should have removed it a long time ago.  Now it may be too late to fix the problem.

Felipe6666Original:   El problema tiene dos partes: creación múltiple de arenas y manejo de los bots. Al no estar 100% seguros de que el servidor podía aguantar ambas cosas (y así evitar un colpaso), se abrió el US East temporalmente para distribuir la carga. De hecho, vamos a seguir de cerca la implementación de los bots en SA por el mismo motivo (sobre todo si queremos reducir la cantidad necesaria de jugadores reales para que se creen las batallas).   ¡Saludos!

MA77: Saudações,

Para você ter acesso ao loot, precisa ter o serviço Twitch Prime ativo. O cartão exigido no momento da criação da conta é para que, após o período gratuito do serviço, você continue a tê-lo funcional.

Em caso de dúvidas de como o período de testes funciona, peço que entrem em contato com o suporte da Twitch.

Gnomon: Happy Monday, everyone!  Today, we’re launching the Supertest for two new vehicles, the HWK 30 and the T95/FV4201 Chieftain. They are, respectively, a German Premium Tier VIII light tank and a British reward Tier X heavy.

The HWK 30 
Though this tank is assigned to the German nation, it has Mexican roots. The original was a joint project by Mexico’s Secretariat of National Defense and German tank makers (like the HWK 12 which is already present in the game).
In terms of gameplay, the HWK 30 will fill in the gap between the Ru 251 and the HWK 12, being a mobile vehicle with an excellent spotting range and comfortable firing parameters. The speed of the basic round should be pointed out, as it is a whopping 1080 m/s! As you might’ve guessed, the HWK 30 has little armor, and possesses a modest HP pool: it’s a light tank after all, brave and unassuming. Or crafty, depending on circumstances. On the battlefield, the HWK 30 works well as a mid-to-long-range scout, due to its spotting and camo combined with outstanding mobility. You may deal some damage, too, especially from the hills’ back slopes: the gun depression allows it, and lack of armor hints that you should retreat from enemy fire. To sum up, the HWK 30 is your typical German LT. It survives by being agile and not approaching the front line and may occasionally bite some HP off an enemy (most likely, by sniping).
 
The T95/FV4201 Chieftain 
The Chieftain of the Britons is a reward Tier X heavy tank with a future as cloudy as its homeland’s skies in autumn. We’ll make sure to check all of its parameters thoroughly, but even after testing we won’t be ready to speak about its ultimate fate just yet. The Chieftain has a great fast-firing gun with an alpha of 440 points and some pleasing aiming parameters. Stabilization, accuracy, and short aiming time will make it stand out among British (and American) heavies. The Chieftain can shoot from the hip: while moving or shortly after it has stopped. A large spotting range ensures there’s always someone to fire at. On top of all those nice things, there’s one more: HESH shells are available as the third type of rounds.
The Chieftain’s mobility is decent, too: the top speed of 46 km/h isn’t a world record, but this vehicle gains it fast enough and sustains it well. The armor at the front is sufficient to negate everything that lower-tier folks hurl at the Brit. Yet, same-tier opponents may have a chance to penetrate. Also, you should not expose your sides or rear to the enemy team. The gun depression of -7 degrees adds to survivability, so use the shapes of land to your advantage.
The Chieftain has good handling, both in terms of driving and firing. Those inclined towards British and/or American heavily armored tanks and TD’s will like it a lot. 
As always, the stats of both tanks may change based on Supertest results. Follow the news and good luck in your battles! Hope you have a great day!  

Felipe6666Original: En verdad, el tiempo de espera (al menos es lo que experimenté ) para jugar Frente Oscuro en el servidor SA es casi nulo, pero es verdad que hay una baja en los jugadores que hay habitualmente. Sin embargo, esa baja se explica con la implementación temporal del servidor US East. En cuando acabe el evento y desactivemos ese servidor, todo volverá a la normalidad.   ¡Saludos!

1984BigBrother: Hey all, After discussing the matter with many of you we have decided to push the compensation for the tournament issues to today. So you can take advantage of the weekend discounts. There were 3 Tournaments that we are compensating for: 2v2: TANKERDOME - Monster Mash 10/18 https://worldoftanks...AwMDAwMDc5Mg==/ This Tournament had is brackets reset after starting. When the Tournament reset we added more groups, this increased the number of final prizes. We then found out the total players spent on the battles before the reset and refunded any credits and bonds spent during those battles  4v4: Friday Night Fights - Operation Resupply 10/26https://worldoftanks...nts/1000000800/ Tournament failed for most groups after the 3rd battle.We are awarding all players that played a battle in the tournament the first place prize of:Equipment: Enhanced Gun Laying Drive
x20 Large Repair kits, x20 Large Med kits, x20 Automatic Fire extinguishers, x15 - 100% Tank XP (1hr), x15 - 200% Crew XP (1hr)  
[Hardcore] 3v3: Saturday Skirmish - Mastery Bracket 10/27https://worldoftanks...nts/1000000800/ Tournament failed for most groups after the 3rd battle.We have decided to add the total gold prize for each group and divide it by the number of players playing (= 3,167 gold) and give that to every player that played at least one battle. We then added an additional 1500 gold to every team that was in 1st place at the time the tournament stopped. All compensation has been paid. I fully understand any frustration that these issues may have caused and we are working towards a more permanent solution for tournaments.
