MA77: Um novo tanque leve Premium de Nível VIII junta-se ao Superteste: o britânico Senlac. O que há de tão especial nisso? Algumas coisas: 1. A torre deste veículo encontra-se na parte traseira, mas ele é um tanque leve bem arredondado com 65 km/h de velocidade máxima e 23 km/h de ré. 2. O canhão do Senlac tem boa penetração (189mm com o projétil padrão), baixo tempo de mira (1,8 segundos) e estabilização decente. Ainda assim, este tanque não pode se sobressair como um franco-atirador por causa da baixa precisão (a dispersão é de 0,42m a 100 metros). 3. Os projéteis de HE da Senlac causam 280 pontos de dano. Eles têm 90mm de penetração, tornando o britânico um verdadeiro aniquilador de veículos inimigos com blindagem frágil. Os projéteis HE disparados pelo Senlac viajam na mesma velocidade que os projéteis padrão (1020 metros por segundo), o que significa que são muito mais rápidos do que os projéteis deste mesmo tipo de outros veículos.  Em termos de jogabilidade, o Senlac é muito parecido com o HWK 30. No início de uma batalha, você pode atuar como um efetivo batedor ativo (desde que veículos ainda mais rápidos não estejam presentes em seu time). No final da batalha (com tanques leves inimigos já em suas garagens) você pode ficar mais agressivo. O Senlac tem uma tripulação de três membros. E como vocês já sabem, esses dados não são finais e poderão sofrer alterações. Grande abraço! 

Felipe6666Original:   That is something that you should discuss with your regional moderators and administrators   Cheers!

CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,
Quick important FYI:  Make sure you enter the codes WOT8ANNIVERSARY and ILOVEWORLDOFTANKS while logged in to the website here.
These codes will grant a day of Premium Time and a series of missions for premium consumables, personal reserves, garage slot etc respectively.
Happy Tanking!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, tanquistas! En el día de hoy, un nuevo tanque ligero británico premium ingresa al Supertest: el Senlac de nivel VIII. Imágenes  ¿Qué tiene de especial? Varias cosas: Este vehículo de tres tripulantes tiene la torreta en la parte de atrás, alcanza los 65 km/h y los 23 km/h en reversa. El cañón del Senlac tiene buenos valores de penetración (189 mm con munición estándar), un bajo tiempo de apuntamiento (1,8 segundos), y una estabilización decente. Sin embargo, este cañón no puede servir a los propósitos de un francotirador dado que su puntería deja bastante que desear (0,42 de dispersión a 100 metros). La munición HE del Senlac puede ocasionar hasta 280 puntos de daño y puede penetrar hasta 90 mm de blindaje, lo que convierte al Senlac en un adversario temible para los vehículos poco blindados. Además, la velocidad de los proyectiles HE es la misma que la de los proyectiles estándar (1.020 metros por segundo), lo que significa que son más rápidos que los proyectiles HE de otros vehículos. En lo que refiere al estilo de juego, el Senlac se parece mucho al HWK 30. Al comienzo de la batalla, puedes desempeñarte como un explorador activo (siempre que no haya vehículos más rápidos que el tuyo en el equipo), y hacia el final de la batalla (con casi todos los tanques ligeros enemigos de regreso en el Garage) puedes comportarte de manera más agresiva. Como siempre, tengan en cuenta que las especificaciones del vehículo no son definitivas y pueden cambiar de acuerdo a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Sigan las noticias y mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

Felipe6666Original: Los bonos que recibiste muy probablemente fueron parte de las recompensas enviadas por tus años de juego (o, dicho de otra forma, por la cantidad de años transcurridos desde que te registraste).   Hay varias formas de conseguir bonos para poder comprar equipamiento complejo o directivas, pero, debo decir, que ninguna es demasiado sencilla. Puedes jugar Línea del Frente cuando esté disponible, que te premia con bonos por alcanzar determiandos niveles de Prestigio. Puedes jugar los eventos especiales del Mapa Global como parte de un clan o jugar Batallas Clasificatorias (prontas a comenzar). Juegar con niveles altos o sacar determinadas medallas también te premia con pequeñas cantidades de bonos.   ¡Saludos!   P.D.: No te preocupes por preguntar, ninguno de nosotros empezó jugando sabiendo todo.

Felipe6666Original:   Como dije, los cambios tardan por todo lo que implican las pruebas. Y avisamos con mucha anticipación de lo que probamos en el Supertest para tener opiniones de sobra antes de pasar a la Prueba Común. En lo particular, creo que es mejor informar continuamente en lo que estamos trabajando (por más de que sea solo una idea) en lugar de simplemente implementarlo o que aparezca por sorpresa.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas, soldados! La Prueba Común de la Actualización 1.5 ya está aquí, e incorpora una cantidad considerable de contenido. Pueden ver un pequeño resumen aquí:  Descarguen la Prueba Común (que ahora puede hacerse desde el Centro de Juegos de Wargaming) y dejen sus comentarios. ¡Buena suerte en el campo de batalla!

DomoSapien:   If you're referring to the HESH shells that are replacing the premium HE on the Type 4 and 5 - their penetration and damage is awful - you're the first person I've seen actually take the position that they will be more powerful after the ammo swap. How does a shaving off a huge portion of the potential damage and giving it abysmal penetration for tier X going to do that? 

All arties are theoretically getting nerfed. Even if the 261's splash radius stays exactly the same, it's still going to be affected by both: The changes to how multiple stuns are calculated 
and the changes to how splash damage is going to decay on the outer edges of the splash radius. Despite the radius keeping its same size, its effective dpm is going to be reduced because it will be dealing less damage to targets that it isn't hitting directly or almost-hitting.

DomoSapien:
One small detail I just found out: Theoretically if you don't plan on logging in until then, you could go ahead and redeem the code now. I've been told that the extra day of premium doesn't get activated until you log in after redeeming the code.

BigDaddyLaxative: My bad, they all should be good now!

MA77: O Teste Comum da Atualização 1.5 já está disponível! 
Encontrou algum bug? Gostou das novas funcionalidades? Qual a sua opinião sobre as mudanças?  Deixe sua opinião no tópico!

DomoSapien: Accurate, but not entirely. Namely: 

The client and server operate on what could be described as a "predictive" model. When you experience packet loss, on your screen every vehicle will continue inputting the key they were inputting when you stopped sending/receiving packets to/from the server. (Have you ever held A or D at the end of a battle and your tank just continues driving in a circle before you get booted back to the garage? That's exactly what's happening when you experience packet loss.)

The reason I say your description isn't entirely accurate? It suggests this is just a random server issue that pops up now and then. That's not really the case, for the most part. If it was a server issue we would be doing everything we can to fix it.
However, "Ghost Shells" occur when you experience packet loss because the vehicle you see on your screen isn't actually in the exact same position on the actual server. It's typically a connection issue that exists outside of the game server, otherwise all the players in the battle would be experiencing that packet loss simultaneously.

DomoSapien: Well, it's neither here nor there (refer to my explanation above) but when you compare it to the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of shots that are fired in-game every week, personally I would indeed call that "rare"

EDIT: All of that said, our Customer Support teamwould be more than happy to help you run a Pingplotter diagnostic on your connection and figure out if any of the hops along your packets' way to our servers and back are malfunctioning.

TeriyakiTanker:   The answer to your question is simple, the content creator determines what they think is funny and then the target audience gets to decide if they are correct or not.  

DomoSapien: One thing to note:   Code will expire on 2019-04-18 20:00:59 (GMT -07:00)   Theoretically if you want to save that premium day until the weekend when you have more time to play, you can do that, just keep the timeframe in mind.

The_Chieftain: It's a vehicle which has some excellent strengths, and so far I prefer it to the T-28, but I've certainly been made well aware of the limitations by the act of blowing up. I'd rate it as strong, right now (and in fairness, I think most of the people who have it thus far are likely above-average), but I would stop short of terming it OP.

The_Chieftain:   Interesting note at the bottom about how the F-35 has all of 150 rounds for the 25mm cannon. OK, I get that it's half the ready load of a Bradley and thus not insignificant, but on the other hand, if it's done in two seconds' worth of firing, is it really worth the extra weight they're tacking onto the aircraft? Obviously someone said 'yes', but I'm curious as to the logic. At least the F-4 could carry a healthy load when they decided to put the gun back on.   Video from the President of Ecuador on the Assange matter. So the man just lost 7 years of his life, in effect. Was it really worth it? https://twitter.com/...72104180154368

DomoSapien: Customer Support can help you diagnose your connection and figure out where the connection issues are occurring. To get the ball rolling and eliminate a little bit of unnecessary back and forth, downloading and running the WGCheck tool will create a WGCheck report that you can attach to your support ticket. 

If you don't want to wait for an answer from support, you can also get a free trial of Pingplotter and use that to see which hops in your connection are experiencing high latency or packet loss.

DomoSapien:   I didn't catch the reference because it has been SO many years since I played but C&C: Generals was a masterpiece. +1 for you sir.

Felipe6666Original:   Ehm, no, porque comprar la Cuenta Premium de World of Tanks automáticamente te otorga la misma cantidad de días en Cuenta Premium estándar para los demás juegos. No funcionará como en WoWs en donde comprar la Cuenta Premium de World of Warships solo te la da para ese juego y nada para los demás. La de WoT te da la exclusiva de los tanques y la estándar de los demás, por lo que no hará falta comprar dos.   Sobre el tema de los bonos, creo que una cosa es pagar por ellos para obtenerlos y otra muy distinta es tener que completar misiones específicas para poder obtenerlos. A eso hay que sumarle qué tan frecuentes serán las misiones para obtenerlos y cuánto darán. Una cosa es el concepto y otra la práctica. Por poner un ejemplo, cuando anunciamos los planos, muchos jugadores plantearon que iba a ser perjudicial porque iba a hacer que cualquiera llegara a un nivel X más rápido, con tripulaciones poco entrenadas y sin saber jugar. El tiempo demostró que obtener los planos no es tan sencillo y que, si bien ayuda al progreso, no lo acota de una manera tan sustancial como se planteaba.   ¡Saludos!    

DomoSapien: Interesting. I'll chat with support and see if any bug reports have been filed about this or if it was an intentional change.

DomoSapien:   Essentially, we're taking about 2 months to keep a close eye on the initial data from the MM changes and make sure everything is all good on that front, then open up Sandbox to test the Ammo Changes.

Something I'm sort of curious about, personally: There has been discussion, both internal and external, concerning WoT Classic and its purpose. I've seen public facing comments indicating that we were also using WoT Classic to test some things out, which leads me to wonder if the limit on number of gold shells in WoT Classic is being reconsidered as a potential option for balancing in future versions of WoT.

I haven't heard any such discussion, contrary to several public facing comments indicating that we don't (or didn't) feel that limiting the number of gold shells a vehicle can bring to battle was the appropriate solution. I'll see what I can find out about that.

TragicLoss: I finally convinced him this morning.

DomoSapien: He's really enjoying the fact that "Big Daddy" and "Laxative" are purchasable inscriptions in-game 

EDIT: He also realized that he can't change his name back to Jambijon so he's resigned to his new identity.
