GhostPrime:   Thank you for your detailed feedback. How does everyone feel about the  T28, T28 Prototype and T95 now? Or the TYPE 5?

GhostPrime:    Thank you for your feedback! I will pass it along. How does everyone feel about the other changes to the UI? 

Njourour: Closed thread. This will cause unrest.

GhostPrime:   This seems like it could be a connection issue, possibly mods? Please submit a ticket to support. 

GhostPrime: Closing topic. This thread is completly derailed. 

Njourour: Closed thread, Also Warpack is not allowed.

Saffr0n:   can you use imgur, your tinypic isn't displaying

Saffr0n:   The client pulls the resolution sets from your GPU. Have you updated to the latest drivers?  https://eu.wargaming...kb/articles/795  

Saffr0n:   Like another poster said, check if you're using the latest drivers for your GPU.   

Saffr0n:   Can you confirm if the device is connected/plugged in and recognized by Windows Sound manager?  

Saffr0n:   Change your sound settings to match your sound peripheral's capabilities. If you're using a headset (without 5.1/7.1) or laptop speakers, then you should be using 2.0/2.1. Only use 5.1/7.1 if you have that setup. 

The_Chieftain:   It's also a good test of your patience, which is a required skill when driving, and, sadly, too few motorists seem to display it.

dance210: The Map Exhibition pits clans against each other in an epic brawl, with only one clan emerging victorious! The end is near, with only two clans remaining: -G- and VILIN! You can catch the final battle tonight at 6 pm PT on https://www.twitch.tv/welcometoezgames! Join welcometoezgames and Killah57 as they bring you all the action on Siegfried Line. With two hard-hitting veteran clans facing off in a series of matches, the first clan to win three battles will be the Champion. Which clan do you think has what it takes to go all the way?

The_Chieftain:   In fairness, such a policy was more or less in place when I went through US Basic back in 2001. It's not new, and it's not as if the DSs can't figure out other ways to get their point across. A similar sort of response came from when the Irish media broadcast "Recruits" about a year ago. Honestly, I thought the language did no harm. Wasn't necessary, but not something worth writing to the Minister of Defence about. It was emphasis, not abuse.   On other matters, I got it into my head that I would try to multi-mark my M103. I'm giving up. Still running a 59/60% win rate, but my playstyle of seizing initiative for the team at the cost of my own life prevents me from routinely lasting long enough to do any unusual amounts of damage.

dance210: Hi guys!   Not sure why the battles didn't pop as scheduled. Battles have been re-scheduled and will be starting in just a few minutes. Sorry!

JayStark02: This thread is getting out of hand and very much off the subject matter, so it's being locked.

dance210:   Hi!   As others have mentioned, the tournament starts at 1 pm PT / 4 pm ET. The brackets should be live, so you can see the teams that you will be facing.   If you've never participated in a tournament or Clan Wars before, a Special Battle window will pop in-game 10-15 minutes before the battle begins. You will want to click on that, then click on the battle to open up a separate window. This is where you can ready up your tank.   In order to enter the battle you will need to move your name from the right (reserve) side of the window to the left (active) side. Once  you have selected the tank for the battle, click the "Ready" button; this will turn your name from red to green. As long as you have clicked Ready, are within the allowed tier points and are on the active side of the window, you will automatically enter the battle once the countdown hits 0.   Good luck in the tournament!

Saffr0n:   Not always the case. MM can be affected by low server population, like when there's a patch release. When conditions are low, the system can ignore some parameters to avoid longer wait times.   

Saffr0n:   A common symptom of crashing, during any game, and not just World of Tanks, can result in sound discrepancies. Tell your brother to submit a ticket so our support reps can have him run a diagnostic test on his game files and  we have a better understanding of the system specifications.   

Saffr0n:   I can confirm that this is happening. To replicate, one has to speed up the replay and use the skip forward button to the end. Although restarting the replay by pressing home should reset it, it doesn't.   

Saffr0n:   What sound device are you using and what settings did you apply to it? For example, if you're using 2 channel speakers, you should only be using 2.0/2.1. If you selected 5.1 or 7.1, your speakers don't have these channels. Adjust your sound settings so they're applicable to your sound peripheral.   

Saffr0n:   It sounds like your scaling is off. You can adjust this in your preferences.xml  

Saffr0n:   Can you provide a screenshot of this?  

Saffr0n:   Can you provide a screenshot of this?  

Saffr0n:   The game is pulling from the resolutions and scaling properties from your GPU, they're not preset. What card are you using and when was the last time you updated your drivers?

GhostPrime:   The defender does have the slight bonus to camo just as the other premium tanks with a special skin do. Similar to the patriot, and the T26E5. 

JayStark02: Closing thread. Non-constructive.

GhostPrime:   Send the data into support via a ticket. They also have a check tool that will generate a report that has information in it to help resolve issues.

The_Chieftain: They're doing it wrong. Correct reponse to a nuclear attack is to place the bow to the explosion, and the turret facing away. (So gun over the rear deck)

The_Chieftain: Wasn't just a proposal,  Mother was officially named HMLS Centipede. The nameplate is still in Bovington.   If the Koreans had Turtle Ships, could they not also have Turtle Cars?

Saffr0n:   They're not missing, your mod pack is out of date. Customer Support can provide you with your buy/sale logs to confirm the amount of equipment you should have in your account. 

GhostPrime:   Please uninstall your mods, or run the game in Safe mode. You can select safe mode in the launcher. If this issue still occurs, please submit a ticket to support

Njourour: Closed thread. This will cause unrest.

dance210:   Hi!   I can confirm, I was not able to put camo on the Defender.   As far as I know, the marks of excellence will still be on the gun barrel.

dance210:   Hi XJadynX,   The Object 252 will be going on sale Feb. 24th, with both the skinned and non-skinned versions available.   As a fun fact, the skinned Defender has an accordion on the back of the turret

GhostPrime: Hello, tankers!    Today we have released update 9.17.1 and with it many changes to balance, German tech tree, UI Improvements, and more! Please leave general feedback here in this thread.   Please leave specific feedback in these threads: New German Heavies and Tech tree changes Vehicle balance changes UI changes and improvements US and Japanese tech tree changes Changes to Strongholds        

GhostPrime: Along with changes to German vehicles, in the crosshairs for 9.17.1 are Japanese heavy tanks and top-tier American TDs. You’ll now find that there’s a smoother progression to top tiers in the Japanese Tree, while the T28, T28 Prototype and T95 received a much-deserved speed boost.   Please leave your feedback on the changes to the ​US and Japanese tech Tree changes in this feedback thread  

GhostPrime: Tankers, Please leave your feedback on the many changes and improvements to the UI in update 9.17.1 in this thread.   UI Improvements Notes   Battle performance badges: - Implemented display of two and more badges for identical battle events. For example, when damage is caused to two enemy vehicles with a single shot (or with shots at two different vehicles within a very short time), the system will display two different badges instead of a single badge that shows the total damage amount and the vehicle name.
-  If an enemy vehicle is destroyed, players do not need to see a badge with the number of damaged modules in the destroyed vehicle (displayed after the Destroyed badge). The Critical Hit badge in this case will be disabled.
- Added the new Wrecked badge (when damage is caused to enemy vehicles using the terrain (physics)). Such events will be displayed separately in the detailed damage panel. The badge will be added to the settings so that players can configure its display.  Fire direction indicators: Changed graphical materials of the damage direction indicators (to "unload" the battle interface) Added the option that enables/disables the dynamic fire indicator (indicator width changes depending on the amount of received/blocked damage). By default, the option is disabled: fire direction indicators have the same width. Changed indicator timings and added animation. Added additional information to the settings, which explains the principles of some feedback options. Added information about receiving damage or critical hits to: battle performance badges detailed damage panel Damage or critical hits received from allies will be displayed in the performance badge and detailed damage panel. The performance badge color and values of the detailed damage panel will be the same for both damages received from an enemy and damage received from an ally (red color for received damage, orange color for a critical hit). Added the shell type to the detailed damage panel. Premium shells will be displayed in the golden color. The indication of Premium shells will be permanent. The battle performance badges and fire direction indicators will not display the shell type. The shell type is displayed only in entries of the detailed damage panel in the following cases: Damage received Critical hit received Damage blocked by armor Made changes to the options of the detailed damage panel: Added the option of displaying the detailed damage panel: received damage, critical hits, and damage blocked by armor Added the option that changes the location of the detailed damage panel: received damage, critical hits, and damage blocked by armor can be displayed to the right of the allied team section. Improved fonts of all performance badges and damage panel. Improved fonts and backgrounds for values in the detailed damage panel. Improved texts in the damage panel settings window. When all total values of the detailed damage panel are disabled, the detailed damage panel can still be displayed (in versions 9.16 and 9.17, when all three total values were disabled, the detailed damage panel was forcedly concealed). For quick-firing guns, the battle performance badges and entries in the detailed damage panel will display the total value of the shot series. Improved the mechanism of arranging Platoon members when the battle is loading (Platoon members are spawned on the map closer to each other\considering map specifics, number of Platoons. Improved the mechanism of switching the camera to the observer (postmortem) mode: First, the camera switches to the vehicles of the Platoon members Next, the camera switches between players, according to their position in the team panel Changed tooltip design Added numbers that express influence of existing bonuses on the simplified technical characteristics in the corresponding tooltips Visualized influence of the activated equipment (Binocular Telescope and Camouflage Net) on the simplified technical characteristics in the interface Changed the display format for penetration and damage characteristics of the standard shell from a range of values to the average value in the Garage and in the vehicle preview window. The range of values can be found in the tooltip. Added standard shell indication to the shell tooltip Implemented comparison of shell parameters in the tooltip against the standard shell Improved filters of the vehicle panel in the Garage Added the option of searching a vehicle by name to the filter panel Added the option of changing the vehicle panel layout from the filter panel Added additional statistics to the vehicle slot: victory rate and Mastery Badge. The statistics is displayed upon hovering over the vehicle slot, and can be disabled in the settings. Added the option of displaying the two-level vehicle panel: adjustable and minimalistic Improved the interfaces of the mission informer and mission window Added informers for tutorial missions for new players Improved notifications about new missions in the mission window Removed irrelevant crew bonus components (null values) from the Exterior interface   Reworked MiniMaps 9.17.1 refreshes the looks of several minimaps: Training Area, Overlord, Stalingrad, Sacred Valley, and Fiery Salient.  

GhostPrime: Tankers,  Please leave feedback relating to the re-balancing of tanks in update 9.17.1 in this thread.    Notes on Changes: We rebalanced another two Premium vehicles so that you can get the most bang for your buck: the T-34-85M and FV4202.

GhostPrime: Tankers, Please leave your feedback here for the changes made to the German heavy tanks in this thread. Notes on ChangesTo bring the German Tech Tree up to speed with the rest of the game, we re-examined its structure, including three new heavy tanks. We also dealt with some balancing issues to make battles more enjoyable for medium tanks and select Premium vehicles. The revised German Tech Tree features two completely new heavies:The VK100.01P (tier VIII) and Mäuschen (tier IX). If you researched the tier X Maus, these two will be credited to you as researched as well. The tier IX VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B is now followed by another newcomer, the Pz.Kpfw. VII. This change won’t affect the XP you’ve earned on it.The same applies to the Maus: all equipment, camos, emblems and Crew you have for it are there to stay.  

Saffr0n:   Please provide a screenshot and paste your dxdiag. What resolution are you running?

Saffr0n: It brings up the statistics window, and it pins the vehicle you selected. I'm not seeing an issue with this.

Saffr0n: Hey Tankers!   We've released Update 9.17.1, which features revisions to the German Tech Tree and the introduction of the VK 100.01 (P), Mauschen, and Pz. Kpfw. VII. Changes to American tank destroyers included speed boosts to the T28, T28 Prototype and T95. Strongholds received an update with the intention to appeal to a wider audience. To help players navigate through their garages and battle, we've continued to make UI improvements.

dance210:   You signed up for a Call to Arms team that placed in the top 4. The only individual prize is 100,000 credits, which was just paid out today.

dance210:   Hi PanzerSleeper7!   Platoon Spawn has to do with where you and your platoonmate(s) are located when you load into the game. Before the patch platoons may start next to each other or you may start on opposite sides of the map. With this patch, the system will try to keep platoonmates next to each other when possible, so that you don't need to travel to find each other then head into the battle.

The_Chieftain: I would disagree with you that the T110 is a support tank. It's more like a battlecruiser. Not solid enough to duke it out with the super-heavy TDs or Mauschen etc which can be found at Tier X, but will do a very good job of punching holes in enemy medium lines, and then keeping up with your own mediums for the exploitation which follows.    As to the OP, I'm not convinced I'm worried one way or another. I try not to rely on my armor in an American tank anyway. Its skill is maneuver, not taking 128 and 130mm rounds to the face.

GhostPrime: Please see the edit made to the OP regarding the Type 5 Heavy.
