Tanitha: Looking into it.. And yeah you would have ended up banned somewhere along the lines when it was noticed..

Tanitha: Closing and moving due to being outdated.

Tanitha: 4. Register the game account and DONT tick you have a forum account, let it make a new forum account for you.
Following the above you should be shooting tanks in about 30 mins..
You can download the client etc while doing the above.

Tanitha: My post to end all posts on hackers and cheats, (that dont currently exist in wot.) lasted a hour? geez..
http://forum.worldof...nly-keyloggers/
There really doesn't need to be 100's of posts on something that doesn't exist. If anything crops up in the future, report it to support. All these posts do is lead to 100000's of paranoid players thinking that every-time they get shot its by someone hacking..
Thread closed.

Tanitha: If you did some research, that vid you linked is on youtube in its official status somewhere else, If i recall correctly its a vid from a Russian test server from ages ago. Its definitely not a original vid from a hacker though...
EDIT,, the real original video is here.. Its just a players game video from "Russian beta" days, at least 6 months ago, that has been edited and relabel.

Currently there is no hacks or cheats for WOT and never have been as far as I'm aware.. Because everything is held and processed safely server side unlike most games. The only thing the client does is handle local graphics. Which is why WoT will require a lot more server power to handle fewer players, because the servers are doing all the work not the clients.
There is however some things that confuse the paranoid.. Such as the below..
1. Some bugs in maps, IE places where you can fire through mountains, buildings, etc.. Most of these are already fixed, but they are fixed as they are found. That's what beta is for..
2. As said above graphics is done client side. So those graphics can be edited. Like you can change the skins on tanks, Change the UI, change how your garage looks, Change your Target reticule, you can change your sounds, I know people are working on changing the flags, You can change the stickers on the tanks, and you can even change your tank model from a leopard to a maus, so you can see a Maus driving at around at 50kmph (which is really a leopard). These are all client side graphics that only you can see, that dont effect game-play at all.
3. The spotting system is buggy, So you often get shot by invisible tanks or camo'ed tanks etc.. But that doesn't mean people are playing with a startrek cloaking system hack..
4. Good arty players know the common hiding spots, So if a shell lands on your head for no reason, you are probably camped in a obvious spot, or breaking trees etc around you, or there is broken trees around you, or a hidden camo'ed tank spotting you and relaying your position.
5. Some vet players like playing small tanks for a bit of fun. I for example have a loltractor type tank decked out with a 100% crew, 100% skills, and a million credits worth of equipment on it. Currently I'm getting 71% win rate, 28% loss rate, 600 exp a game average, 2+ kills a game average, 9 kills a game max, etc,, no hacks though, just a vet on a decked out lil tank.
6. Most people that spread key-loggers with youtube type sites are organized, They own 100 youtube accounts, one for posting the "fake hack" and 99 for replying with "OMG IT WORKS and NO VIRUS"
7. There is dev test servers that a select few have access to, that obviously dont require the devs to grind for a month just to look at a Is7/Mouse/T30, so the Dev's test servers obviously work differently, occasionally there is a leak from there.
8. If you believe everything you read on the Interwebz, I have a mansion in Zimbabwe I can fix you up with real cheap..
9.... ETC ETC ETC you get the idea I hope..
THERE IS NO WOT HACKS OR CHEATS just keyloggers and people who promote them...
Discussion on hacks or cheats is not permitted, they dont exist, enough said...
Discussion on hacks or cheats that dont exist falls under this ruling, and is ban-able..

Tanitha: If you "seriously" suspect any foul play of any kind. Email support.. there is no need for all this mis-information to keep circulating around the forums.

Tanitha: This will be the last reply on this topic, in any threads..

Tanitha: Welcome to the game, There is a game guide section here for you to browse through is you wish.
http://forum.worldof...-and-tutorials/
Closing this thread and PMing you the reply.

Tanitha: Question answered closing thread..
There is also a guide section here.
http://forum.worldof...-and-tutorials/

Tanitha: Please post regarding the closed beta in the closed beta sections only.
And this is hte thread that contains everything we know about crews.
http://forum.worldof.../8498-faq-crew/
If you have any more questions after reading that thread, please post into there.
Locking this thread.

Tanitha: Yeah companies are coming soon, they are "up to" 15 player teams.

Tanitha: You mean the subliminal messages?
"Dont TK" "Shoot the red ones" "dont swear" "dont spam the forums" "Ussr tanks aren't better" "arty isnt OP" That are broadcasted every 15 mins in Russian?
You aren't meant to consciously hear them.. But whatever its only beta, I guess their brain-washing system needs tweaking, It should be fixed in the Xmas patch..

Tanitha: Yeah I dont see much difference really, The people that would use the extended chat after game for abuse, would imo be abusing all game anyway.

Tanitha: I usually sit through battles now too, but thats because i have maxed tanks and T10 tanks, so im not grinding. On release time is important so I'll be hopping straight on another tank to squeeze in more exp per hour..

Tanitha: The voice system is only for platoons and companies, so its not random people, you are only chatting to people you select to chat with. If they play up on chat, dont select them in your platoon again. (so its your choice)

Tanitha:

merig00: If you kill only one tank of your level or below even if you win with premium that sounds about right.

merig00: updated

ARGO: A mean kind of worn in color....Surprise me....and thank you.
BTW, You can do Names and Numbers too? can you do "66" and give it the American tank Stars?

ARGO: YES!!!!! Have at it my friend!

MrVic:

ARGO: Just keep in mind that your radio is only as good as the next guys is..... Meaning you can have the best radio in the game and BLAM!!!! your dead and you wonder why there was a guy closer to him and he didn't light up? Because that scout had a low end radio and his signal was to poor to reach you.

Tanitha: Happened to me too. and the FPS slows down because the cpu does in a effort to try and cool down.
Run some software to check your temps and keep an eye on them, and also what clocking your cpu is doing..
Mine was getting up to 110c in game, and idled at 90c out of game.
My problem was a fan full of dust, and two broken plastic lugs which hold the fan down, So the fan wasn't seating properly either.
A few screws instead of the plastic lugs, and a clean of the fan, now i'm running at 50c usually now instead..
Regards.
Edit, PS yeah as said above, WOT only uses 1 core atm.. It might change later, might not..

Tanitha: You were banned from chat, by another mod, not me.. due to a long line of spam. something similar to
11233323233232333333333333333`````````````~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
You were banned for 1 hour, and you were banned over a hour ago. So you aren't even banned any more as far as my "guessed" timing goes (wasn't watching the clock)
I assumed it was a cat to be honest .. Since you are a regular chatter, and dont normally cause much trouble..
It was a 1 hour warning ban. So i'm not sure what the issue is really. Seems reasonable to me..

Tanitha: Offer a wage, and you will get people who are only in it for the money.
Same coin just a different side.
IMO you will get better mods out of people who want to mod because they want to help, want to improve the game, love the game, play a lot and have played a lot. Rather than someone whos just doing it as a job, who doesn't really care about anything but the pay packet..
As for people applying for the status, then they would be delusional, and wouldn't end up modding for long.

Tanitha: Hi, light tanks used to do well in high battles,
They were fast, hard to hit, and they could scout, infiltrate and kill arty, kill tanks their level, outrun the bigger tanks, etc..
Lots of fun, quick games, decent pay..
But then they fixed a bug, and removed warping, so now light tanks doing 50+kph are reasonably easy to hit with a sniping tank.
So they dont last long any more..
So yeah i'm sure its not easy atm, there is talks of buffing light/medium tanks, and they tweak the balance system slightly every so often. So they will work on the known issue.
Regards.

ARGO: Getting hit by an IS4 is worse than being hit by a train because the difference is if a train hits you and you live, it doesn't come back to finish the job.

ARGO: You get phone call from the 1960s calling you a hippie
I put in a turtle

ARGO: It takes a good man to admit his mistakes, It takes a Great man to learn from them.....
You are indeed a good man Fyuria. I am sure as your reputation bar rises you will find others agree but for now I am going to lock this thread so it does not turn into a troll circus.
You have my respect Sir and a +1

Tanitha: And the best post on the topic is here.. this is pretty much the latest info.
http://forum.worldof...r-1-global-map/

Tanitha: Remove the 88 from the link..

**Edit, I changed the link, and I changed your name in the forums.
**Edit, as for offending names, you are welcome to email support@worldoftanks.com to lodge a complaint.
I think most of the bad ones still left are banned accounts through and not in use.

Tanitha: At the moment there is more vacancies for euro server mods than usa server mods. So yes.

Tanitha: Free exp, isnt assigned to any one tank, you can use that exp to upgrade any tank.

Tanitha: Merged the posts.

Tanitha: Ive seen it, Im not sure where, or if its still there though. and its not enforced as far as I know. Id guess its there as a safeguard.

Tanitha: This..
Edited out player names,
Thread locked and dumped..
Regards.
