dance210:   Likely tomorrow when I am back in the office

Njourour: Closed the thread due to excessive arguing.

GhostPrime: Please keep the conversation constructive, and without the arguing. 

GhostPrime:   Make sure you are not running any mods, and try again. If you are running a vanilla game client, then you may want to consider sending in a ticket to support.

The_Chieftain: Can't say I'm particularly impressed by the response to the British Q&A on 17pr sabot accuracy.   The story of the 17pdr accuracy or lack of it is skewed by testing involving faulty ammo, a worn out gun and not a little bit of self-interest on the part of the testers (in the US). It was certainly plenty accurate enough for real life as many German tank crews can testify.     After Isigny, the British claimed it was a bad lot of ammunition, which the US accepted with some suspicion, but it is noted that the 'worn out gun' seemed to be reasonably accurate with APCBC, the British themselves concluded the effective range of APDS to be half that of APCBC, (The famous  WO 291/1263 and WO 165/135),  Indeed the claim about worn out gun and bad ammo is particularly problematic when one considers the Fort Knox tests conducted with a MkVII, and post-war ammunition. Then one has to explain why the Canadian pot sabot of 1946 was considered so much better than the British ammunition if the British ammunition was to spec, and why the British themselves after the war issued a retrofit to the projectiles which specifically did not apply to either the Canadian ammunition or the 77mm ammunition. The claim that the US was "self-interested" is unsubstantiated waffle. Indeed, without something to disprove all of the above, the claims about bad ammunition, worn-out guns, and American self-interest may well simply be British self-interest of their own. As to the round being plenty accurate for real life, I believe that many German tank crews can also testify as to the penetrating power of the American 75mm and 76mm/3" guns. Something can still be serviceable while less than desireable. 

dance210:   Yes! <3   And I'm so proud of my guys, doing tournaments and strongholds and joining in my crazy clan night games :-D   I have plans to take over the (tier 6) world! I just need to figure out how to be a better battle caller lol  

dance210:   Aw Silvers_ it would have been fun to have you in the clan! And, you could have requested a chat ban to prevent the arty raging

dance210:   Winners won't be announced until next week We have to read / watch all the guides, which takes a bit of time

The_Chieftain:   What can I say, I could do with the additional income. I barely make mortgage as is. Then again, at least I'm in a position that I can have a mortgage in the first place.   Had a gander at one of the new game modes they're kicking around for next year, I am happy to say, it is entirely, completely different from anything we've tried before, and if it works out as it's heading, it's going to be a lot of fun, especially for clansmen.

Volier_Zcit: Thread closed. Too many off topic post and unnecessary arguments.

dance210:   The clan page is here: http://na.wargaming.net/clans/wot/1000042814/

GhostPrime:   ​Please contact support, they should be able to answer that question for you.

The_Chieftain: And, finally, 105mm GMC T95, 8 pages. I think that's about the lot of it. Now, a bunch of datasheets to put at the end like a Hunnicutt book, a bit of editing to add a few new photos I've found since 'finishing' earlier entries, and then sit down and await some progress in the whole book-publishing thing.

Hypnotik:   You can use the link at the bottom to reset your choices, and re-select which ones you want at each level. The only prize that won't be reset is the Supply Crate prize (first level).

GhostPrime: Here are the final winners list for this contest!   Bear_Grylls_You_To       2077

dance210: Let the "Throwdown" begin! With the popularity of our weekly Saturday Throwdown's, we have decided to double the fun! Each Thursday there will be a 1v1 Throwdown at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET. However, the Thursday Throwdowns will focus on specific tiers. This week focuses on some small but feisty tanks at tier III! Which nation will you choose?  Tournament page Registration  Stop by, sign up and join the competition! Tournament InformationTeam size: 1 Map: Mittengard Tier limit: 3 Any tank allowed

dance210:   Yes, I'm aware of it. I've also reported it. Unfortunately, there isn't much more than that I can do. Sorry

The_Chieftain: To respond to the earlier question about the T78, I don't think it is. T78 is definitively described as n M36 turret on an M24 hull. Given that the M36 hadn't, I don't think, been built by the time that Lucas report was filed, I suspect that the drawing is a hypothetical/sales pitch. Note how the other M24 variants have T-numbers assigned.

GhostPrime: Closing thread due to it being non-constructive.

The_Chieftain: That Lucas Report was a good post, Walter.   How do I become a friend of Tank and AFV News?

GhostPrime:   That is a good point. One could run an IP trace, or Pingplotter to see if your network is routed through those areas before reaching our servers

Nope, I shouldn't need them, thanks though!   The data should be stored in the system, I just need to retrieve it for each battle since there's not "bulk fix" option

dance210: Hiya guys!   There were two issues with both the Platournament and Weekly 5v5 last night, so I will be putting the same information in both threads.   1. Rounds 2 and 3 worked as intended but the results didn't show. I can manually force the system to get the results for each battle - I just need to do it for every battle. So apologies, it will likely take me a bit of time to get through both rounds for both tournaments.   2. Battles didn't work (scheduled on the admin side, wasn't sent to the server). Those battles are NOT counted as a draw for the system. It is as if each affected team played one less round, so the points aren't added to your total. Since the battles don't count and teams play an unequal number of battles, there is no reason to adjust the scores for the Weekly 5v5. Before posting the standings I will of course confirm that it is working as intended (battles didn't count for or against a team). For the Platournament, after the scores are corrected for issue 1, I will look at how the missing battle affects teams in terms of standings. This is more important for groups of 9, since there will likely be an unequal number of games played.

The_Chieftain:   I'm surprised that a veteran player of 16,000 games would invite us to delete his/her account. Is that a request, or just hyperbole?

Volier_Zcit:   ​Hi, please send a ticket to our Support Team together with the replay of the match so they can investigate it. You can do so by clicking on this link: https://na.wargaming...support/tickets   I'll be closing this thread to avoid unnecessary arguments.

dance210:  

dance210:   Hiya guys.   Yes, I know about the issue with SB not popping for the 7 pm PT battle.   Unfortunately, I'm not sure why (battle times look to be set correctly) which means I'm not sure if it's something that I can fix.

NyxWGA:   Yep!

NyxWGA: Just one of them!

NyxWGA: We are now recruiting testers across several products! We plan to introduce a new launcher - the Wargaming Game Center (WGC) - in the upcoming months. We need volunteers to install the new launcher, give feedback, and help us identify bugs. What are you testing?The WGC is a new unified launcher. It will allow you to conveniently launch World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, or World of Warships from one location. We are working to ensure that this launcher delivers better performance, easier updates, and better news, events, and information about WoT, WoWP, and WoWS! Why are you testing?We want to ensure a smooth transition and an awesome player experience when we get ready to roll it out to everyone. Currently, all internal employees have it installed and have been using it and giving feedback about it for some time. Now it's your turn!  We need folks to locate and document bugs and to share impressions and give feedback on changes needed. Please Note! We expect to be in Beta for a while, as we test features, gather feedback, implement suggestions, etc. We expect that our testers will assist us in finding issues whether you play WoT, WoWP, or WoWS. How can you help?We're recruiting 500 testers for the initial phase. More will be added in as the beta continues. We'll be launching a dedicated forum section on the World of Tanks PC forums to give players from all titles a location to discuss their impressions and share their bug reports. We welcome ALL feedback, so in addition to bugs, we want you to tell us what you like and don't like about it. Use this link ---> http://sgiz.eu/s3/WGC-Sign-Up <--- to sign up for the beta! Players accepted into the beta will receive an email towards the end of next week with instructions and a link to download the launcher. Thanks in advance for your assistance! 

Sea_Star: Trying out WGC for the first time? Let us know what you think here - good or bad! Remember to include enough information so that we can understand what you mean. Screenshots are helpful!   Note: If you encounter a bug, please report it in the Bug Report thread.
