get mad because they get roflstomped. Everybody loses.
Not only that. 64 clan landings mean EXTREMELY LONG landing tourneys. Every single mistake made in the NA map fiasco is being repeated here.

time to dedicate to clan wars, for us to win some gold or tanks by
playing people at our level of experience. But I love this game and
will just keep learning and improving and maybe one day i will be
in position to try.

last 6 days (Tier VIII+) and just steamroll the existing

entire time. (Minus some gold, which the top clans aren't hurting
for anyways.) And no having to listen to Unicums whining about
stocking up on low tier tanks.
Everything on the map is reachable in 6 hops, so all the top clans need to do is hold a summit, divide the map so no one steps on each others toes, and collect their M60s.
This "event" will get rigged. HARD. And I'll enjoy every ounce of the baddie's tears.

deserve anything too? Whats in it for a only solo pubbie like me?
LEt them set a high limit, say maybe even 20K games and 1600

rest of us to get this tank too? I am not pleading 'entitlement',
just asking for an option for the rest of us, or am I wrong in

connection with famous Bismark phrase, which leads to German armour
and the most epic of it - Maus tank

Vallter: Stage I ends with Tier VI. Stage II will have different goals.
But you've mentioned a tactics, which may result in victory, Or may not, who knows.

play also. M60 will have no special gameplay or mechanics, so it
won't block you from tasting the gameplay.

offend you with suspension. But we just give something that is not
easy to achieve. A very distant goal. But it's still available to

Changes in in-game balance in 8.6

Subject: Changes in in-game balance in 8.6
Link on message: #4495656

Mugsy_: Hi all!
In this article, we will explain the major changes coming to the game balance that our producer, Michael Jivetc (Storm), has shared with us.
Note: There will be two major balance changes in the next update:New balance for SPGs
Change of the role of armour on gameplay New balance for SPGs:
As previously announced, the expansion of SPG branches up to Tier 10 will come together with some changes to the characteristics of these vehicles. The top tier vehicles will have similar parameters to those of SPGs between the Tier 7 and Tier 8. Respectively, intermediate vehicles’ parameters will be adjusted as well.
Speaking about SPG rebalance, there will be no general decrease of all SPG characteristics in the game. Real “combat” precision of SPGs will remain on almost the same level.
One single “nerf”, which we believe will make SPG gameplay more challenging, is the reduction of shell velocity for all SPGs by an average of 10-15%. At the same time some short “mortar” guns will have their shell velocity reduced by one and half times, which is quite logical.
That’s all we have for the changes of characteristics.
Now let’s talk about the changes applied to armour and shells:
In order to increase the importance of vehicles’ armour on gameplay, we have decided to take the following set of measures:The normalization of all armor-piercing shells was reduced down to 2 degrees (from the current 5). We decided not to set it to 0 in order to keep the possibility for large shells to penetrate thin armor when they hit it at an acute angle.
Already known from “Supertest” leaks: a “nerf” of the penetration rate of a large number of top HEAT and some armor-piercing shells. Here we do not need to explain too much – the characteristics will be reduced. A separate point here is the “nerf” of HEAT shells for medium tiers’ short-barreled 105-122 mm caliber howitzers. Players will not be able to exploit them anymore.
A change in the principle of HEAT shell mechanics. Now armour shields and tracks will sometimes give quite weighty protection against HEAT shells, especially at acute angles, when the point of detonation is moved further away from the hull.
A change of the parameters of spall liners. The armor absorption modifiers will increase to the following:
Small spall liner: 15% (current value)
Medium spall liner: 20%
Large spall liner: 25%
Extra-large spall liner: 30%. New type of spall liner for some super heavy tanks (weight over 80-90 tons). P.S. An important addition to the changes in mechanics!
Seems like I’ve missed some important moments:
First, in addition to changes in distribution when calculating accuracy, the distribution will change in the calculation of damage and armor penetration as well. Currently, the calculations use a normal distribution which is cut to 2 sigma. The change will be the replacement of the trim to 2 sigma to a trim to 3 sigma. This means that extremely high or extremely small values of damage and armor penetration will be reduced by about 5% and the average values specified in the parameters will become more likely.
Second, there will be a change to the reducing coefficients for the experience gain of Tank Destroyers and SPGs which apply only to the calculation of the experience for the damage caused, and not as a general coefficient which affects the entire gained experience. That is, in patch 0.8.6 arties and TD’s will get more experience for the damage they caused, by 50% and 33% respectively. The remaining accrual of experience will not change.

CatStalker: Announcing the First Stage of Campaigns: Landlords
Full news
The Landlords Stage is the first of four stages in this Campaign. Details for stages 2-4 will be available at a later date.
F.A.Q.
Q: Will provinces still provide gold income, or just Victory Points?
A: Provinces will still provide gold income along with Victory Points.
Q:Will the Tank Locking be in place? What about other functional?
A:To answer your questions about tank locking, yes it will remain in place. However, if you look at the chart from the original announcement of TL, you can see that lower tier tanks are locked for a much shorter length of time, starting with just a few minutes and progressing to a few hours as the tier goes up.
The rest of the functional will be disabled or enabled along with the stages. You will be able to see some new, though not so major stuff during the Campaign
Q:What are characteristics for the M60 tank?
A: Since vehicle is currently being tested, characteristics are still subject to finalize. What can be said for sure is that tank will be similar, though different to Patton III. Additionally, it’s not a premium, but regular tank. It won’t be stronger than currently existing Tier X vehicles
Q:Why the Clan Wars were locked on the day of Campaign announcement?
A:This is connected to Portal update, which took place on the same date. You can read more about it here
Q: What about other Tier X special clan vehicles we’ve seen?
A: They won’t be given during the first Campaign. Probably they will be distributed in upcoming events.
Q:How many tanks will be distributed in total?
A: We will give away up to 5000 M60 tanks during the first Campaign.
Q: Will there be a live scoreboard, where everyone can check out current VP ratings?
A: Yes, it will be released close to the Campaign start. Clan Wars page will also look differently during Campaign compared to current version
Q: Are there any plans for Tiered Clan Wars?
A: Yes, there are plans to perform a 'test' of Tiered Clan Wars in next Campaigns and compare results with the first Campaign, where Tiers will be changing gradually. At the end we select system, which will be more welcomed by players.
Q: Why you’ve decided to reserve tank for Clan Players?
A: Well, CW was a high-end content, but it had no special prize for participation. It was one of many reasons why it lost it dynamics over time. That's why we decided to reserve something special for Clan Wars only and add more competition there. We would like to stress the attention, that M60 is not another vehicle added in-game, but a special prize. Like a laptop for winning a tournament.
Q: During the redistribution: After winning a landing tournament, will we still need to send players in to battle ‘civilians’ or will the province be considered won via a Technical Victory?
A: There will still be a necessity in sending at least 1 player in battle. Draw will results in victory for the player's clan.
Q:How will eligibility for the “Iron and Blood” medal be determined?
Do I need to stay on a single clan’s roster for the duration of the whole event?
If I participate in 3 battles with one clan, then switch to a different clan for the last two battles, will I still qualify?
A:To receive specific Stage or Campaign prize player has to be a part of clan victor for that Stage or Campaign. So battles only in clan awardee clan will count.
Q: At what point will victory points be distributed for owning provinces?
A: At the end of the Stage, if contrary is not stated in the Stage rules Global
Q: Which maps will we have available for us during this event? Will the Canada section be opened or will we keep the European maps open during this time?
A: Canada, Greenland and USA. The rest will be disabled
Q:Can the M60 only be used in Clan Wars battles?
A: Yes, it can be used in Clan Wars battles. But you should remember that they will be credited only after the Campaign ends

CatStalker: To answer your questions about tank locking, yes it will remain in
place.
However, if you look at the chart from the original announcement of TL, you can see that lower tier tanks are locked for a much shorter length of time, starting with just a few minutes and progressing to a few hours as the tier goes up.

fashion.
Our team didn't get approved until 3:23pm Monday afternoon. That is entirely too late. After weeding out the incomplete teams, it should not be too difficult to determine who is in and who is out. Also, the rules did state the first 64 teams make it. Then, WG goes ahead and creates 2 brackets, which is good, but again, it can't take that long to determine if they are going to do that and then accept another 64 teams.
We would have liked a bit more than 2 hours to prepare (our team wasn't all online until about 8:30pm, which is when we all found out we were excepted).
If WG can't handle the work load, they should hire more people to cover it or cut back on the specials they run.

dance210: Hey guess what? They are planning to hire more people, most likely to help
with this problem. In the meantime, while two hours is certainly
inconvenient, there was nothing preventing you and your team from
preparing for the tournament, especially if you knew how many teams
were pending approval before you.
Several times now, WG has made two brackets, accepting 128 teams instead of the normal 64. I believe it was mentioned somewhere that they are doing this to get more teams involved, which is a good thing.
Good luck with the tournament :)

CatStalker: Thanks for taking the time to go through the process and write this
up.
I hope that clans looking to expand take some of these points to heart, as better recruiting and making sure everybody shares similar goals can really strengthen the foundation of a clan.

games by or before 5pm PDT, some people on the EST side (like
myself) are hard pressed to be able to play a game as late as 11pm,
as we have work or school the next day.

who works/goes to school may not be able to participate in the
Skirmishes. While difficult, it's possible to stay up late for a
10:30 pm Eastern tournament; it probably is not possible to leave
work early every day for a 5 pm Pacific tournament.
