Lert: The player in that video is not simply 'driving from A to B', he's purposely pulling handbrake turns all the time. The actual in-game sliding will be less.

Trevzor: Hey man, I'm trying to understand where your confusion regarding the structure of our Weekday Warfare tournaments and I am having a bit of trouble. If you can clear up my confusion, I will be more than happy explain exactly how our system works.   In general there are two parts to Weekday Warfare: Group Stage Days 1-3 and Group Stage 4&5. I will break down exactly how the scoring and standings work for each day.   Day 1) All Teams that have successfully applied for the Weekday Warfare are accepted and randomly seeded into groups. Our goal is to keep the groups as close to 8 teams per group, but sometimes there could be as few as 6 per group. These groups are Round Robin style tournaments, meaning all teams in the group play each other once. All matches played are worth points. The point system is 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. The reason we don't have drawn matches play until there is a winner is because then games could go on for hours with one or both teams playing for the draw. Speaking from personal experience, that is not a fun time trying to not lose but knowing that a draw means you get a do over. Once Day 1 is over, all the points your team has earned is then compared to the total amount of points you could have earned (the number of games you played multiplied by 3.) This WIN RATIO is compared to the teams from the other groups, establishing the overall rankings that are posted and labeled Weekday Warfare X Group Stage Standings: Day 1. This is why you can see multiple teams come in at specific rank (e.g 4 teams tied for 1st.) It is at this point that the bottom 5% of teams in the tournament based on rank are removed from further contention. If there is a tie for the rank that is being removed, all teams in that rank are removed.   Day 2) All remaining teams from Day 1 are randomly seeded into new groups and Round Robin play starts again. Once this round is over, your team's points from this round are added to the points from the previous round. They are then compared to the total amount of points your team could have earned (the total number of games played over the two days and then multiplied by 3.) This WIN RATIO is compared to the teams from the other groups, establishing the new overall rankings that are posted labeled Weekday Warfare X Group Stage Standings: Day 2. At this point the bottom 5% of teams who played in Day 2 based on overall Day 2 rank are removed from further contention. If there is a tie for the rank that is being removed, all teams in that rank are removed.   Day 3)  All remaining teams from Day 2 are randomly seeded into new groups and Round Robin play starts again. Once this round is over, your team's points from this round are added to the points from the previous two rounds. They are then compared to the total amount of points your team could have earned (the total number of games played over the three days and then multiplied by 3.) This WIN RATIO is compared to the teams from the other groups, establishing the new overall rankings that are posted labeled Weekday Warfare X Group Stage Standings: Day 3. At this point the top 16 teams based on rank are moved on to Group Stages 4&5 and all previous points are erased. If there is a tie for 16th place, all teams are moved up. This does not extend the prize pool that is based on rank.   Day 4) The top 16 teams from Group Stage Days 1-3 are randomly seeded into groups and Round Robin play starts again. Once Day 4 is over, all the points your team has earned is then compared to the total amount of points you could have earned (the number of games you played multiplied by 3.) This WIN RATIO is compared to the teams from the other group(s), establishing the overall rankings that are posted and labeled Weekday Warfare X Group Stage Standings: Day 4.    Day 5) The top 16 teams from Group Stage Days 1-3 are randomly seeded into groups and Round Robin play starts again.  Once this round is over, your team's points from this round are added to the points from the previous round. They are then compared to the total amount of points your team could have earned (the total number of games played over the two days and then multiplied by 3.) This WIN RATIO is compared to the teams from the other groups, establishing the final overall rankings that are posted labeled Weekday Warfare X Group Stage Standings: Final Rankings.   Hope this clears up your confusion!   If not, let me know what you are confused about and I'll be happy to explain whatever you need.   Cheers!

Lert:   They would be 'more fun' purely because of the additional value that fans of AFV's place upon them, being what they are and what we are. And we're just a portion of people.   The fact that they stopped building them and nobody afterwards has started building them again also speaks to how useful they really were.

pizzastorm:   You hit the spacebar to use it.

Lert: As a life long Star Trek fan, I'm actually borderline crying now.   Man ....     I have been, and always shall be ... Your fan.

pizzastorm: Appreciate the detail here.    

pizzastorm:   As stated, this is a very early version and will definitely change as feedback is received and it is worked on more. The end result can look very different. Thanks for your feedback!

HBFT: Tankers!   Every tank is only as good as the crew within and we are celebrating this fact with our latest event to convert free experience into crew experience.  In this contest, we are taking some time to look a bit closer at the men (and women) inside of each of your World of Tanks vehicles.  We would like for you to "ask" one of your crew members a number of questions and come up with some short and creative replies.  The Top 30 crew interviews will receive 2,000 gold!     Required Interview Questions: -What part of the world do you hail from? -Why did you enlist as a tanker? -Tell me about a couple of your most memorable experiences. -Is there something special you do for "good luck"? -What kind of a career will you pursue after your last random battle? -Is there anything you would like to add that we have not covered in this interview?   Example Answer: Why did you enlist as a tanker?  I'm glad you asked that question, Bob...  There I was sitting down for a cup of tea while playing my favorite game (Parcheesi), when out of nowhere I was showered with gold!  I couldn't believe my luck!  Besides the fact that the coins clinking on my "noggin" hurt like crazy, I was still amazed at my sudden turn of luck!  Then...well...I found myself sitting in some kind of metal beast in a garage that didn't look like a "premium" spot to be in at all.  Next thing you know, knowledge flooded into my brain like Neo from the Matrix and I knew that I would be the best Sherman commander ever!   How to join the contest: Choose a crew member of one vehicle in World of Tanks (i.e. Commander, Driver, Gunner, Radio Operator, Loader) Answer each of the six interview questions posed above with a short answer Post your answers in a single post in this contest thread   Rules: All players are welcome to join the contest, but each player can submit only one entry. Your crew interview must be created exclusively for this contest. Entries will be judged on creativity, entertainment value, etc. All crew responses must comply with moral, ethical, and legal standards, as well as with the Forum rules. Wargaming gains exclusive rights to this contest's crew responses when you post it on the forum, as outlined in the “10. User Generated Content” section of the Terms of Service.     The submission deadline is Monday, March 3 at 9:00 AM PST (March 3, 5:00 PM UTC).  

HBFT: Closing this contest thread for judging.  Soooo many awesome entries!  We will be back with the results later today.

Lert: OP, your inability to understand the rules does not automatically mean the rules are broken. As for english not being your first language, it's not mine either.

Lert: Again, why would you want a universal carrier over this:     Or this:     Or this:     Or this:     And you can even put snow tracks under your normal 4-wheel-drive vehicles:     Yeah, it would 'look cool'. And then you start realizing how much you need to adapt and alter on a UC to make it properly snow-capable, and that it wouldn't be a UC any longer. Besides, I'm sure you're really super concerned with 'looking cool' in a UC when you can also get this:     Much faster, too.   Seriously, the only thing that the UC has over any of these is its history and that it 'looks cool', and those only count for a minority of people.

Lert: Why would you want an outdated tracked vehicle put back into production when there are readily available modern options to do the same thing.

Capitao_Desastre_:
Sim, pelo menos se iniciar o cliente de teste, ele deve atualizar para o teste da física.
 

Capitao_Desastre_:
Infelizmente, ainda não.

Capitao_Desastre_:   Ah, OK. Mas não se esqueça de também colocar a imagem (e o relatório do PP) no ticket.

Capitao_Desastre_:   Se estiver tendo problemas com o pingplotter, use o comando tracert como descrito acima num de meus posts.

The_Chieftain:   You probably want to do a little bouncing around this subforum. You'll find that most of us don't need to google the punitive expedition to know what it is, and the fact that some of us are tankers and cavalrymen in real life has absolutely no bearing on an assessment of Patton.   It should be noted that nobody is trashing Patton, the question is whether he deserves the popular reputation he has. 

Lert:   I laughed. Keep on doing what you're doing, you're welcome to it.

Lert: ISU-130, Siegfried line.   ...   Yes, really.   It's exactly an ISU-152, but with this gun instead of a BL-10:     4tankers, would you mind if I linked this thread from my guide index? I think there's a lot of educational value in this thread.

pizzastorm: Hello Tankers,    Many of you have been waiting for the introduction of physics into the game. While it is still many months away, we are excited to bring our players into the process by giving everyone a chance to try it out on a public test server going live on the 27th!   Please keep in mind that this is a very early version of the new physics system and we are sharing it in the hopes that you will be able to share your valuable feedback and suggestions with us.   If you would like to participate, you only need to download the test server, play some games and come back to this forum thread to share your experiences. Please be detailed and thorough when explaining what you like, do not like, and why you feel this way. It is very important to explain to us why it is bad, good, or what changes we should implement to improve the system. We will be sharing your feedback to the developers and sharing well constructed responses is the best way to make sure this new feature is ready and amazing when finally introduced into the game.   Thanks everyone! Hope you have some fun with it.    You can read more about it here!  Visit this site to download the test server.  r You

pizzastorm:   All combat experience accumulated on the special vehicles were redistributed as follows:   XP on Mammoth - to T1 Cunningham .
XP on Arctic Fox - to MS-1 .
XP on Polar Bear - to Renault FT .

Hypnotik: Great job to everyone involved in this, especially those who helped organize it. You guys all did a great job on the event, and there is a lot of good to show off to the other regions. Over the next few days me and vegan will be pulling all the feedback we can on the event, figuring out where things went right and where things could be improved (I promise, I won't recommend Fame Points... vegan might). There's already a feedback thread here, so add your input - this goes to people in the event and those who were watching it from the sidelines. To the clan commanders - we've already sent out a brief questionnaire to get things started, and we'll have a bit of back-and-forth as time goes on for a future reprisal of this type of event.   Finally, congrats to the teams from the south. I guess we have new overlords in America now, at least you guys make good food (BBQ and Cajun/Creole sounds good to me).

dance210: The eSport Round-up is back again this week, from 3 - 4 pm PST. This week, Moguai will be talking about everything a new captain needs to know to set up and run their tournament team. After hearing his great advice, feel free to wander over and test your new team in Skirmish 9 - a Tier I tournament that is perfect for new players, and new teams!   Be sure to tune in today, 3 - 4 pm PST, at www.twitch.tv/wgesports!

Capitao_Desastre_:   Vale. Tem é que estar pelo menos um tier abaixo do tier máximo e não estar num pelotão. Fora isso, vale tudo.
