merig00: Great suggestion! I'll let the devs know

merig00: Screenshot -> community@worldoftanks.com

merig00: And 5.1 surround sound. Though it's my HTPC setup so not very powerful and wireless keyboard/mouse doesn't help so usually I stick to my 19" monitor and desktop but it is fun.

merig00: do you have the latest drivers? change resolution through preferences.xml
Sometimes I play the game on 55" TV with HDMI connection... works just fine even at 1080p

merig00: So one number is for the first vehicle and another for second... Click on the gun in the hangar selection and see for yourself which stat you get.

ARGO: I remember it like it was yesterday. We were all on that map with the mountains, trails, and swamps. We had an MS1, they had an IS4. We were in trouble. At the countdown there were a few snears about being stuck with the MS1 and how it was taking a slot that could have been a game changer, little did they know that the MS1 would be the game changer. The battle proceeded and went back and fourth until there was just 2 tanks left. Yup, the MS1 and the IS4 both at 100% health. I remember the MS1 driver's name "Priest" and he was heading away from the enemies base and the IS4 was following. We said "Priest what the heck are you doing"?!!!! He replied, I'm winning the game for you. He then lured the IS4 all the way to our base ran past him shooting then ran to the enemies base and began the capture. The IS4 was so raged he turned and headed back to his base to kill Priest, He failed and Priest capped. Everyone was cheering him on "Go Priest Go!!!
An MS1 defeated and IS4......who knew...

merig00: Hmm on how many different vehicles can you put that gun?

merig00: You converted your tank experience into the free experience using gold.

ARGO: We all have our favorites, Some like a 107mm on thier KV. Some swear by their 88mm on thier Tiger. I for one think the original turret on my IS works far better than the upgrade. But tell us what combination of parts really seems to work for you? Russian or German tanks.

merig00: Right now in beta the cap on gold is 3000

merig00: When you researched everything in the tank tree - all modules and the next tank, your tank becomes "Elite" tank. See it has a golden tank symbol next to its name? As an elite tank you can convert your tank experience into free experience for gold (that's what you did) or chose to speed up your crew training instead.

merig00: Rate of fire sometimes also depends on the turret you have that's why you have several numbers. Aiming time right now tells you how fast the aiming circle can contract from 3 times minimum size to the minimum size.

ARGO: What if America, England, and Russia all decieded to keep on going after the fall of Germany and Japan? How do you think the world would have changed. Do you think they could have even pulled it off?

merig00: No

ARGO: How about using us beta testers to help design "The perfect battle map". I bet even if the exact map isn't used, there will be a literal cornucopia of fresh ideas for the developers to use. I am sure the reward for chosen ideas would be worth it alone.

ARGO: I am glad to see a lot of players who care, NinjaFroggie I have seen play and he is definately a good sportsman in my book. I really think this game will be something special and I look forward to playing with all of you but again I am sure you all have seen less than admirable actions by peeps ingame that I and my mates decieded to nip it by offering help.
Nothing is more disheartening to the new guys than being all excited about a game and then have some Darwinian genious completely ruin it by running the guy into the ground repeatedly just because the new guys not skilled and or has a big enough tank.
When I started, I watched player like Mr. Vicc and Froggie as well as asked a lot of questions in forum but this game is more than others a definate "hands on" type of learning. Because the game is all over the globe, we will need peeps all over the world to be the "big brother" and look out for the little guys out there while they are learning. Even if you can't do it in training, It can be done ingame too. I am currently looking into times to run a training ground to match my time zone.

merig00: Also you can easily shoot off tracks even off the panther.

merig00: Well two more maps are coming with the patch and after that devs promised something like a new map every two weeks.

merig00: Another week probably. I'm actually glad they haven't rolled it out yet for us.

merig00: Another week probably. I'm actually glad they haven't rolled it out yet for us.

merig00: It's a bug - will be fixed in the next patch. You'll get 0 exp and 0 credits.

merig00: Well here is a list of battle modes that I'm aware of:
1.random battles.
2.team battles.
3.championships.
4.historical campaigns.
5.clan wars.
All of the above except championships and clan wars can be created by players. So yes you'll be able to play team vs team in team battles or in historical campaigns. Also a hardcore mode should be available for all of those.

merig00: This might be one of the game modes when you respawn in one of your other vehicles. I don't know if this will happen but it's a possibility.

merig00: 1. everything will be wipe - you'll just have your email and password everything else will be gone. your forum account will stay
2. right now it's not possible - should be available in the release.

MrVic: No I think it was a localized bug with bailing out before being dead

MrVic: Currently there is not option. As the beta moves along we should see some more options and improvements in the UI check some of the recent videos there are some sneak peaks it looks like n there if you pay attention closely

MrVic: Good post. Pretty much everything here is covered in a few posts and sections. Actually I have answered half these points 3 times already today elsewhere
Most are known bugs with coming fixes or are part of a on going discussions. Closing this one out. feel free to add to the other topics on these or check the pinned topics for more information.

ARGO: Well that's the thing, I myself run a teaching clan "Kilroy Squad" located in the clans section of this forum under "Soldiers With Attitude" and even though clans are nice, they usually tend to be "members only" when it comes to a lot of things and frankly some people are not into the clan thing so I figure just help promote basic training and good sportsmanship and let the players then decied if they want to shop for a clan. Either way and no matter if or what clan they join I am sure ALL players in the community will benifit from informed players with proper training and nurture good ideals.

merig00: See the latest changelog http://forum.worldof...tch-coming-soon

ARGO: I suppose if we can get a few people to help I am sure we can advertise dates and hours we can hold a open training and just all take turns. Who knows if we get some real good players in different class tanks, we can teach tactics...The skies the limit.
If you like the ideas add me to your friends list.

ARGO: Last night me and a couple of friends decieded take some time from grinding points and go into a training server we made to give my new IS tank a good look and see what it was capible of against my buddies K3. As we were chumming around waiting for the match to begin, I noticed a Leichtracktor waiting in the line up. Really didn't think much of it.
Anyway we began the match and the Traktor was on the opposing team consisting of 1. wespe 1. VK3601 1. KV3....I know, sounds a bit unfair right? but the idea was to test my tank in a bad scenario. Well I had managed to get past the VK3601 "with 50% health" and began my attack on the KV3 when all of a sudden I felt this nudge on my tank. Iscrolled back to see what it was and theres the Leichtraktor banging into me. He was trying to get my attention on the chat because he was asking me question about how to play the game...He was as new as they come. Poor guy didn't even know he was the enemy. Sure I could have horrified the guy and popped em silly but instead I halted the battle and myself and the other began talking with him and trying to show him how to play.
He was full of questions and we took the time to give the guy help. It seems what I am trying to say is I had forgotton how hard it was breaking into the game and how annoying it was getting my butt blown off in those earlier tiers so my question to you all is simple:
What do you all think about occasionaly running training games for the new guys? I think it would benifit us all to help hone a good crop of new players by assisting in teaching them good habits ingame, lord knows we have enough griefers, glory hounds and spoil sports.

merig00: I have no such problems.... try going into the settings of the game and change resolution there.

merig00: Premium ammo for a premium tank? But as I said - the problem is in low damage Churchill deals, what is it 75HP per shot?

merig00: The thing with the engine damage - transmission is part of the engine hitbox, and in many tanks, especially german *cough-tiger-cough* transmission was located in the front.

merig00: Devs stated that there are no problems/bugs with equipment.

merig00: All tanks give you 5% free experience - it's a feature not a bug.

merig00: If you need some clarification or translations from russian here or there - feel free to contact me.
