Jeremy Taylor: The problem with the user hammer_91 has been solved. PLEASE DON'T PASS YOUR GAME ACCOUNTS TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Jeremy Taylor: Hi there buddies
The system of moderators hasn't been implemented yet. We didn't expect such a rapid growth of community within the first day of the beta start. Moderators will be assigned in a few days. Sorry for any inconveniences.

Jeremy Taylor: The activation codes to applicants are sent by portions each day on the regular basis. Don't worry please, you will get your activation code today or within a couple of days. We have too many applicants

merig00: Those prices are for beta and probably will be adjusted accordingly

merig00: Light tanks - very maneuverable and fast are mostly scout and bring death to the SPGs. Upgraded radio is a must since you will "light up" enemy tanks on the map for SPGs to shoot at Also if you light up an enemy tank and it is killed by your ally that wouldn't be able to see it without your help, you will get % of the experience and credits. Also please don't rush to the enemy base right away. Wait for your arties to position themselves. Cause if they can't shoot while you are wrecking havoc on the enemy base - you'll die for nothing.

Medium tanks - are the core of the game. They have good speed, good armor and good guns. Don't just rush away. Travel in groups. Protect your SPGs from light tanks and also flanks of the heavy tanks.

Heavy Tanks - slow, heavy armor and heavy guns. Slow reload time and slow turrets. However if you are a heavie don't travel alone cause several fast medium tanks will take you apart just like that. Great support for a swarm of medium tanks around it.

Tank-Destroyers (TDs also known as Anti-Tank ATs) - snipers of the game. Upgraded radio is a must. Heavy frontal armor, weak sides and rear. Very powerful long-range gun. Tactic: hide in the bushes (reduces your visibility) behind your lines and shoot at enemy your allies in front of you "lit up". Several TDs are as fast as medium tanks. Use it to your advantage to move from one spot to another.

SPGs (Self-Propelled Guns, artillery, artie, howitzers) - upgraded radio is a must. Hide in the bushes not far from your base. Ask for a medium tank or two to protect you. Kill your enemies. Watch out not to splash-damage your allies if they are too close to your target since most arties use HE(high explosive) rounds. Low level arties you'll need to move up the map as your tank advances, but higher levels are able to diagonally shoot across the map. When you are in "bird view" remember that everything is 3D so your positing (if you are standing on sloped hill) height of the buildings and even tanks may change your trajectory. Don't have too many rounds and slow on reload. Every shot counts!

merig00: Coated optics
+10% to the view range, but no farther than 500 meters

The range of your tank's view will improve, but you won't see farther than 500 meters.
Anti-fragmentation liner
+15% to the armor protection

You armor handle fragmentation round better (Not sure about this one, needs testing/devs confirmation)
Stabilizator of the vertical aim
Decreases the aim scatter during the motion or turret turns by 20% Available only from level 8 and up

When you move around there is a higher chance you will miss with your shot. This equipment will improve your aim "on the move" by 20%
Binocular Telescope
+25% to the view range from a stationary tank, but you won't see farther than 500 meters.

If your tank/anti-tank/s-p howitzer is stationary (that includes your turret too! - stay completely still) your view range will increase by 25%, but you won't see farther than 500 meters.
Powered up suspension
+10% to the weight limit that tracks can handle

Only for German tanks
Adds extra 10% of weight that your tracks can handle
When do you use this equipment? For example if you have Maus and you want to equip it with ground-hooks, wet ammo box or anti-fragmentation, it will give you an error that it will exceed your maximum weight. That's when you get powered up suspension in one slot and the other equipment in the second slot.
Filter "Cyclone"
Increases your engine HP(hits) by 20%
http://img20.imagesh...75/79275077.jpg
Just like with the "wet" ammo box this equipment will make your engine more sustainable against hits and damage.
Toolbox
+25% to the speed of repairs

This equipment will speed up the repair of damaged modules by 25%
Rammer
-10% loading time

Lowers your loading time by 10%
So far these are all the equipment that are available to players.
If you have any suggestions - I'll update the post

merig00: I KNOW THAT SCREENSHOTS ARE IN RUSSIAN. I'LL MAKE THE NEW ONES SOON.
1. Equipment. Purchase, Set up, Replacement.
Modules are available for purchase in the store section "Equipment"
                    http://s42.radikal.r...0079e7c5739.jpg
Or you can purchase right in the hangar - left click on the empty box (to the right from the shells) you want the equipment installed at.
                    http://s57.radikal.r...90199035635.jpg
After you choose the equipment you want to buy you will see a confirmation window
                    http://img707.images...396/shot053.jpg Click Купить=Purchase to install or Cancel=Отменить if you changed your mind.
If you do it this way the equipment will be installed on the tank right away.
If you already purchased it in the store just left-click on the empty box and you will see that equipment on the list. The same goes for the second slot.
                    
IMPORTANT!
Some equipment is available only for a particular nation! Some for USSR and others for Germany! You can check it by clicking on the equipment slot in the hangar - you will see only equipment that is available for this particular tank
If you want to use another equipment instead of the selected one - just left-click on the box and choose the equipment you want to use. Your previous equipment won't disappear it will be awaiting its next use on the shelf in your warehouse. That's where you can find it in case you want to sell it.
If you want to remove the equipment from your tank just left-click on the box with it, find it on the list and left-click it again. It will be removed from the slot and will be waiting in the warehouse. This is useful when you want to use that equipment on some other tank but you own only one set.
2. Available Equipment
The devs come up with new equipment all the time so I hope this section will be frequently updated
Improved Ventilation
+2% to all skills of the crew
http://img25.imagesh...52/73145260.jpg
It actually says skills in the description, but what it does it adds +2% to the experience of your crew members. So if your commander had 100% with this equipment he'll be at 102%
Additional grousers
+10% tracking on soft ground
+5% tracking on medium ground

Only for German tanks
There are different types of ground in the game. This will not make your tank go faster than the max. speed. But it will help you to faster pass through the difficult terrain.
Charge tanks with CO2
Chance of the fire in case of fuel-tank damage -50%

If you get hit in your fuel-tank there is a possibility of fire. This equipment reduced the chance of fire by 50%
Camouflage net
-25% to the visibility of a stationary tank

If your tank/anti-tank/s-p howitzer is stationary (that includes your turret too! - stay completely still) you get 25% bonus to your camouflage.
"Wet" ammo rack
-50% of ammo rack damage

It's something like the CO2 tanks for the fuel-tank. But if the fuel-tank fire is by chance, your shells have some hits number before they blow up, this equipment doubles that number.
Enhanced gun laying drive
+20% speed of aim

Your gun will zero-in on the target 20% faster.

Jeremy Taylor: Take your second tank and don't wait endlessly. This is the way out By the way, your topic will be moved to the European beta section.

merig00: You should check this topic out http://forum.worldof...__0

I don't have Vista so use your search function to look up that file

Jeremy Taylor: The players receive scores after each battle even of killed before it ends. You can contribute to the team's victory at the cost of your life and you definitely deserve to get experience and scores for that.

Jeremy Taylor: XP and credits rates will definitely be balanced. Hardly possible that those rates will drop. The game is not about grinding at all

Jeremy Taylor: German voicing will definitely be implemented. That's not a final version of the game yet.

Jeremy Taylor: Don't worry about that matter. You gain your experience not only for enemy tanks destroyed. In outline, you get XP:
- for enemy tanks destroyed
- for enemy tanks damaged
- enemy tanks spotted
- staying alive and assisting your team

merig00: DISCLAIMER YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN, UNLESS IT WORKS THAN YOU CAN SAY THANK YOU
