Saffr0n:   Hopefully to your satisfaction. Tell us what you think 

Saffr0n:   That is the description of what a rare vehicle is, not recovery parameters. Let me clarify, any vehicles sold before the release of Update 9.16 cannot be restored using the vehicle restoration tool, but you can still submit a ticket to Customer Support and use an exception. If the vehicle was sold after the release of Update 9.16 then you can use the vehicle restoration tool.

Saffr0n:   I can support that, great feedback!

GhostPrime: Hello Tankers! Now that update 9.16 has arrived, we would like to know your opinions on a few features: 9.16 introduced a vehicle comparison UI in the garage, how would you improve this function?

The_Chieftain: Was pleased to see on the news today that Netflix signed a deal with iPic cinemas to show on the big screen their original releases. The article came complete with a still from The Siege of Jadotville, which comes out this weekend. Then discovered that the nearest iPic is in Los Angeles. Bugger. I guess it's a night in on Friday, so.   Raz, we can't help you if you don't reply to my PM.

dance210:   Hi Greek_Parrot!   As Blaze_terror mentioned, I'm on vacation this week. Unfortunately, that means the tournaments from Saturday and the Corsair 100 Years of Tanks tourney will be paid once I return next week. Thanks for your patience with a longer delay than normal!

Saffr0n: Confirmed Bugs & Issues   Greetings Tankers!   We at Wargaming are proud to present a feature packed release with Update 9.16. Get excited for the first Swedish premium vehicle, the Strv m/42-57 Alt A2 tier VI medium tank with an autoloader. The Rampage mode exclusive, "Paris" map has been added to the current map rotation.   Next, we've begun to clean up the user interface and added features from widely used mods. You can review these changes, here. The Mission UI received some revisions and now when a specific vehicle is selected only applicable missions will be prioritized.   A performance change to the spotting mechanic was made to reduce the time it takes to display spotted vehicles. A visual example of this optimization can be found, here.    Note: As with every update, please use this thread as a channel to communicate any bugs or issues you come across. Screenshots, replays and steps to recreate an issue is much appreciated. Provide as much context as possible so we can better investigate the issue.    Example:   When the 23 mm VJa gun module is mounted on the BT-7 tier III Russian light tank it is unable to be serviced with ammunition Select BT-7 Go to Research Mount 23 mm VJa gun module Display BT-7 in garage Open service panel   http://imgur.com/a/0KOFP

Saffr0n: We are aware of the confusion made by the UI, but this mission actually doesn't need to show as completed in order for you to move onto the next recruit missions. 

Saffr0n:   I had to shake down a leprechaun just now, but I was able to get your Gold back. Log into your account to make sure you got it. 

GhostPrime: We have been developing new anti-gravity tank technology    Please submit a ticket to support about this issue. If you have a replay that will help them nail it down too. 

The_Chieftain:   Why bother? The Assault Tank M4A3E2 (AKA Jumbo) seemed to be doing just fine in those critical points, and were a lot easier to get over and maintain than special heavies.   I'm disappointed by the commentary about tank-v-tank combat earlier in this thread. It's as if people haven't read my articles or seen my videos...

The_Chieftain: Part of the problem is that the developers are schooled in the traditional school of wargaming. When I started working here (and I'm also a traditional type gamer), it took me some time to discover why folks were complaining about the critical hit mechanic, to include most of the rest of the office. It turned out that most folks were used to the more recent form of gaming, games such as WoWarcraft or LoL. I don't play them, but apparently in those games, a critical hit is something which does extra damage above and beyond the normal hitpoint level. Whereas I was used to the 'critical hit' as found in, say, Harpoon, in which a critical hit has absolutely nothing to do with hitpoints, unless it's a critical hit which causes a fire or flooding. I can fire an airburst warhead at a ship, cause D10 critical hits, and not expect a single hitpoint of damage. A lot of weapons and sensors would be knocked out, though, thus limiting the target's combat capability.   WoT works on the older concept. Modules are affected by critical hits. Hitpoints are affected by hits causing damage points.

Hypnotik: Update (as of ~ 12:30pm pt) : A solution was found that will get you guys the AC4 credited correctly. You will likely find an extra 50% AC4 crew in your Barracks, and you can keep/dismiss them as you wish. Everyone who was part of the first 2 crediting cycles for Tank Rewards this month should now be taken care of.   For future payouts: As a few of you have (this time correctly!) assumed, removing an existing AC4 rental will ensure you get the tank on the first pass. If it is still in your garage when the payout goes out, you'll still get the tank, it'll just take a little bit longer before you get to play with your new toy.

GhostPrime: I have added the patch notes to the OP. 

Saffr0n: Hi Tankers!   We are aware of the issue and are currently taking steps to resolve it. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience as we work through the issue. Your AC4's will be credited to your accounts as soon as possible. For transparency, here is the process we are vetting:    Mass removal of AC4 Rental (vehicle only) Mass crediting of AC4 package Verification of Crew & Equipment When we manually remove a vehicle from an account the equipment, ammunition, consumables and crew should be sent to the armory (depot) and barracks, usually. We want to verify that this methodology is predictable If you had equipment, ammunition, consumables and crew in the expired rental then you will need to remount equipment, resupply ammunition, or insert your crew back into the AC4, that of which was sent to the places I've mentioned above

GhostPrime:   I sent you a Pm. I am working with the tankrewards team to address this issue so we can make sure that this gets resolved, and make sure that everyone gets the prize they should. 

GhostPrime: Closing this topic due to discussion moderation 

The_Chieftain: Looks like our editor doesn't have time to process the next one for a month. There will be a bit of a delay.

GhostPrime:   I am GhostPrime. The population of this game is not an issue. Time of day and location makes the population vary greatly. If its 4am on the West coast its 7am on the east coast. People sleep, have jobs, lives and families, so these things can vary. 

The_Chieftain:     I still can't see how we can figure out who it is. Prince Salacious is not a name on the EU server.

GhostPrime:   This can run just about everything you throw at it. If you are going solely for WoT, then it's much more than you need. The Titan X should last you about 5 years and is about 15% faster than the GTX1080.

GhostPrime: For those fo you that are having this issue - Please submit a ticket to support  

The_Chieftain: Apparently.   Pride notwithstanding, I think the Thread can throw together a few scheckels on a paypal account, no?

JayStark02: Closing thread.

The_Chieftain: Razvan, wait a second. That food bank/chronic malnutrition thing. That you, or were you working there? You need some help?

GhostPrime:   Your amount will be on tankrewards.com Please login to find the amount of points you have. Also please submit a ticket to support should you have any questions about the amount of points you have. 

GhostPrime:   Please submit a ticket to support. Thank you for your feedback. 

GhostPrime:   ​

GhostPrime:   For Older restorations the current system still applies. Please send in a ticket to support.  ​

GhostPrime: Attention Tankers! We will be performing server maintenance on Wednesday October 5th, 2016 for the release of Update 9.16Maintenance will begin 1:00AM PDT (08:00 UTC) and will last approximately five (5) hours. During this time, the World of Tanks servers will be unavailable.Should you encounter any issues while updating the client please contact our Customer Support department. 

The_Chieftain: I don't know (If the Midway was anything to go by, we had a partial run of the ship, but not the full thing), and I strongly doubt it. They picked a weekend that the Army has me booked.

GhostPrime:   Thank you for pointing this out, I'll look into this. Is anyone running a higher resolution that 1024 X 768 and having issues viewing the page?

GhostPrime: The logout is working on my end using chrome. Try clearing your browser cache and see if that may help
