The_Chieftain:   I haven't tried the small stuff, but what I've heard so far are fantastic. People have this misconception about what a tank gun is supposed to sound like, they like big booms. In actuality, it's a crack. Think of it like the difference between lightning hitting 100 yards away and two miles from you. There's no rumble, no bass, per se. Just a single blast, which overpressures you quickly, and it's done.

The_Chieftain: Hmm. Where did you find that?

Trevzor:   This is why we are also giving you the Tank Gun Rammer

dance210: Have you tried to right click, and open in a new tab (or in a new window)?

Yoott:   You mean its almost time for us to win over and over again since we are just that good.....                    

dance210:   The new system does not currently allow us to label the groups by Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or Weekend.   Group 1 - 3: Alpha Group 4 - 7: Bravo Group 8 - 14: Charlie Group 15: Weekend

Trevzor: It's Friday and you know what that means!   A picture of Yoott with the rest of Wargaming Hax Best Hax   Time for some team battles!   This week if you manage to beat us this week you will get a 24 hour Super Pershing rental and a Medium Caliber Tank Gun Rammer guaranteed to be delivered before 11 tomorrow.   With this glorious tank, you can join the Medium Throwdown this Saturday and use your new acquired riot shields to brawl your way to some Gold!   Good luck out there! You're going to need it   

dance210:   It's a by product of being in the Solo/Party registration. I've basically been renaming all the teams in that section, without paying attention to which were confirmed before registration closed and which I created from other players.

Saffr0n:   Disable exclusive control in the windows audio settings for your speakers / playback device that is being used.

Pigeon_of_War:   I can attest that yup, I should be there! I don't think I can go bar hopping since I'll be there in a work capacity 

Saffr0n:   The differences in sound volume that you are experiencing is sound prioritization and it is intended to reduce an overload of the sound stream.    Sound FX are used as auditory clues as to what is happening in-game. When your tank receives a shot you perceive the sound separately from your engine, from your tracks, from nearby tanks. What is the highest priority of these sounds? It's the shot you received, not your engine. The sound of the shot will indicate whether it penetrated or bounced. If it destroyed your tank or not. If one of your modules were damaged or destroyed you'll hear that transition into the stream.     

Pigeon_of_War:   Hey hey!   It's 30% off the Tank, 15% off the entire package. Sorry for any confusion.

GhostPrime:   Guys this, please. It's ok to be inspired by a piece of artwork. Copying is different.  I do want to say also that this isn't a skill contest. its more about creativity that artistic prowess. Not everyone has the same skill, but everyone can be creative, and get their design across using any method they choose.    Please, let's keep this thread ON topic. I have decided to extend this contest until Monday, the 14th to giver people the weekend to create.

dance210:   No, Round 7 won't be played. Instead I will manually go through the scores, see if teams could have possibly earned a higher rank with one win. If they can, they will get the higher prize, regardless of where they are currently ranked.

dance210: Hi!   Once your team has been confirmed, you simply need to wait for the tournament to start

dance210: Hi all! For anyone looking for even more to do this weekend, we have a really cool one-on-one Medium Throwdown tournament happening on Saturday afternoon!! Players take to the streets of Mittengard to determine who is number one within their group (and earn some gold!!). The only catch - you must be in a tier VIII Medium tank to participate!   If you don't have a tier VIII medium,  don't worry. You can earn the AMX CDC rental and use that for the tournament

Trevzor:   -There are no restrictions on tanks. All information for the tournament is available on the tournament page. -The maps will be in the Encounter style of each map, not the Standard style of each map. (Example of Encounter Himmelsdorf)

The_Chieftain:   Frankly, yes. Why tempt fate?

GhostPrime:   How many times can you beat the score?

GhostPrime:   Its a difficult process to do through the forums, please submit a ticket to support on the subject. 

Lert: Quite, quite.

Trevzor:   You have two more days, you can do it!

Lert: Agreeing with OP. It's actually a viable combatant now. Just not spectacular.

Lert: Suddenly, IS-7.

Saffr0n:   Download the Standard version of Pingplotter at the following:
http://www.pingplott...ingplotter.html   1. First please close all open applications including torrents, DC-clients, ICQ, Web Browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and the like), and Mail clients etc... As these can interfere with the connection test results.
2. Launch Pingplotter and maximize the window.
3. Change the Trace Interval option in the lower left hand corner to 2.5 seconds.
4. In the "Target Name" field please type in the IP address of the server you are experiencing difficulties on and then press enter. : login-p2.worldoftanks.com for World of Tanks West
: login-p1.worldoftanks.com for World of Tanks East 5. **Please allow this test to run for at least 20 minutes**
6. Finally we would like you to please click "file" (in the upper left hand of you screen), then "save sample set", save the file and then attach it, if you can't attach it please submit a ticket with the information so we can determine where you're getting the hang up. 

Lert: The new sounds and new physics have rekindled my interest in this game so I figured I'd take an old friend out for a spin. On the bright side, I rolled Himmelsdorf. On the other hand, my team was composed of tanks that melted when in contact with streets.         Pushed tank alley, hard. 'Had' to use a few HEAT shells to dislodge an opposing hull-down Jageru, kept timing the red team's reloads and angling myself between shots. Ammoracked an ST-I from full health, marched through a Jageru, Deathstar and WT-E100. Bounced a whole mag of WT-E100 shells, that was fun.   Shoutout to spac3nerd in the opposing T-62A who led a masterful hill push that left my team smoking wrecks and eventually claimed me as his fifth kill, his final one of the game.    

GhostPrime:   Please do not use someone's CFG file. That may just cause more problems for you and frustration. Commonly when the launcher fails its due to network issues. Without seeing the .log file myself I don't know the cause of this particular issue. Please send a ticket into support.

The sound corresponds to the caliber and depends on the type of magazine loading system: manual or automatic Sound of shell penetration. It's now possible to identify the caliber of the penetrating shell (or penetration type) and how much damage was caused to the vehicles Reworked the sounds of tracers and vehicle destruction Fully reworked the sound of vehicle engines, tracks, transmissions and interaction with various types of surfaces Reworked/re-implemented SFX when causing a critical hit. It presents a sound notification about causing the critical damage to enemy vehicles Implemented the sound for the Sixth Sense "bulb", notifications about damaged modules (turret, fuel tanks, radio, ammo rack), and basic consumables (First Aid Kit, Repair Kit, Fire Extinguisher) Implemented sound presets for playing with different sound systems and at different times of day General Features Added the list of goal-setting missions (Combat Maneuvers) to the Recruit Training tab (for players in tier IV-V vehicles) Reduced the number of modules for low-tier vehicles to facilitate the research process Improved filters and tooltips for storing and activating Personal Reserves Clan profile: Added Clan search to the Stronghold tab and improved visual component New, optional display settings for loading screens: Old loading screen (Teams displayed in one table) Loading screen with minimap Loading screen with game tips New localizations in Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Kazakh Rampage mode: Added a short name of a player's vehicle with the vehicle type icon to the list of teams on the Tab key screen.

Previously, these missions were available players who fought fewer than 50 battles before Update 9.10 Fixed battle results missing in the Notification Center Fixed issue where a declined invitation to a Dynamic Platoon continued appearing in the Garage Fixed some minor interface issues  

The_Chieftain: I'm liking the new sounds.

MeatheadMilitia:   Great point.    This was my miscalculation, the lack of coffee is real.    I'll make sure the next one is Monday-Friday.   I'd change this one for the time frame, but since it would only leave 24Hs I'm going to chalk this up as a loss on my end and do the next one right.    Sorry about that.
