Njourour: Guys, Please remember to be polite to one another even if you do not agree with one another. 

The_Chieftain:   Wait, what? If there's anyone the Yanks threw under the bus in 1982, it was the Argentinians. There was certainly the odd point of resistance in the State Dept, who were worried about losing a major South American ally, but Reagan quashed that.

Volier_Zcit:   ​​Again, constructive feedbacks and disagreements are very much welcome. I've already removed several posts in this topic, that should serve as a warning to everyone.

dance210: FYI guys, I'm waiting to hear back about the battle that didn't work last night. Unfortunately, I won't have any more information until I'm told. Sorry.

Volier_Zcit: You're all free to express your opinion about the topic, but make sure to observe forum etiquette. This will be a warning for everyone. Stay on topic.

GhostPrime: Here are the winners of this weeks contest:   ogHaKo DarthKonig motoracedave MrZero MaxXxim   Congratulations!  Prizes will go out Monday 

Pigeon_of_War:   I remember that match! Sand River, right?

Saffr0n:   Hey Dreadnought28, I'm sorry to hear about your experience and the issues you are continue to have. I was able to look at your previous ticket and would like to follow up Your GPU drivers are out of date, I know you stated that you updated them, but you did not provide another DxDiag for us to verify that you did You do not have any client modifications, however, you still have residual mod files in the World of Tanks registry. These need to be removed using a program like CCleaner It would also be important to know if you are experiencing the same crashes in the Common Test server for Update 9.15.1

The_Chieftain:   I think the really big value of self-driving vehicles is that it gives back mobility to folks who cannot drive. Be it due to issues like blindness, or simply folks who are too old to be behind the wheel, and are in effect confined to their home unless they get taxis everywhere (or put into a nursing home). When I'm 95 years old, I'd rather half the self-driving car than no car at all.

Saffr0n:   Hi Tully_Mars, this thread is intended to discuss any issues with the current Common Test for Update 9.15.1   With that said, are you still experiencing any crashing with the Common Test build?  

Saffr0n:   We've identified this to be an issue, thanks for your feedback. 

JayStark02: You can continue discussing the topic, but only if you can do so politely. Refrain from being rude to one another.

dance210:   You're welcome to send in a dispute the normal way (tournaments@wargamingamerica.com); however, they are able to detect the use of the mod without a player reporting it.

dance210:   Players are checked after the round is finished / before the next round is scheduled. If anyone is found to be using it, they are DQ'd from the tournament.

dance210: Hi guys!    A couple of updates.   1. Devs are having an issue scheduling multiple battles within a round. Which means that they are not able to schedule 3 wins out of 5 battles without running into issues. As of now, all playoff battles will be 1 battle. Team that wins moves on to the next round.   2. Last I heard, this is the updated battle schedule (schedule is also visible on the tournament page).   Round of 32: Friday, June 24 @ 1800 PT / 2100 ET Round of 16: Friday, June 24 @ 1815 PT / 2100 ET   As issue number one means that each playoff will only be a single battle, there should (hopefully, fingers crossed) be no issues. Battle times for the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals remain the same.   I have updated the tournament page with this information.

Saffr0n:   I can see that you logged in as of 6/24 and were able to play a good number of battles. I am able to see your last response in the ticket you submitted, and that you were having trouble with your Google one drive. Are you still experiencing login issues after ending the Google one drive process? 

JayStark02: Please stop arguing and keep it on topic. Refrain from being rude to one another.

dance210:   As I have explained elsewhere, it is because those restrictions are not part of our tournament tool; it is something that we do to make our tournaments different. Which leaves two options: 1. get rid of special restrictions or 2. have a dispute process.   As submitting a dispute is not that difficult and players like the special restrictions for our tournaments, we continue to offer tournaments like that.

dance210: They were temporarily removed in June because there were issues that made them frustrating for players, especially waiting for disputes to be resolved. Rules have been changed slightly and weekly 1v1 tournaments return on July 2nd.

The_Chieftain:   Well, he's stepped down, so maybe he's falling on his sword so that it doesn't have to happen.

The_Chieftain:   You know, I have to get a license for SB again. It's been a couple of years since I've run it. I used to be feared when I showed up on the enemy team...  

The_Chieftain:   Is it binding?

NyxWGA: Non-constructive. Move along to something that's actually interesting folks

The_Chieftain: I don't think either party has exactly covered themselves with glory here, and, unfortunately, I can tell from experience that this is hardly a secure forum. What benefit to keeping a hostile relationship? I think QB could have been a little more personable about it, but why make this public already unless there's no chance of a quiet, amenable resolution?    

dance210:   The problem is I have no clue what time someone from HQ will be around. It could be in 30 minutes or 3 hours. Which means tonight's battle's would have to be postponed until tomorrow. I can't ask y'all to wait around all night, hoping someone from Minsk will be here soon™

dance210: I am aware that the battles didn't start correctly.   Unfortunately, I can't schedule these battles. I've poked people in HQ, but have no idea if they are awake right now.   Please give it the 30 min in case I get a response from them. I will update this thread as soon as I get more info.

Volier_Zcit: There is no point in letting this topic continue. Locking this thread due to excessive arguing. 

Volier_Zcit: Alright guys. Take it easy. Breath, Relax, Chill. Remember to be polite to one another, even if you do not agree with each other. Also, please stay on topic. We're watching you. 

Saffr0n: Noted: Mini-map transparency is reset to default at the start of every battle. 

The_Chieftain: Yes, I believe I have.   Shapeshifter, for what it's worth, the spec sheet for T28 dated 12AUG47 states "12 inch mantle provided"   I'm not sure why, but they felt that for the acceleration tests of T95/T28, it was important to note the wind velocity. (4-13mph)

GhostPrime:   Interesting. Could you please submit a ticket with a reply of this occurring? It will help us get an idea of the issue and where its at. (Map, map position tank ect.) 

GhostPrime:  

GhostPrime:   Please try the above as well. The check tool may actually help you with the connection issues, if the game still disconnects, please send a ticket in with the information that the check tool outputs.

GhostPrime:  

GhostPrime: Mrjellop,  scooby_tanks   Welcome back to the game!    scooby_tanks - You may want to submit a ticket to support, they should be able to help you out.

The_Chieftain: I'm not sure I'm getting the hate on Sims, I think I can use her as a crew trainer for my Gearing skipper. No, it's not the most dangerous ship in the world, but it seems quite good at being a nuisance which can take care of itself in a pinch. The guns are serviceable, the torps are anemic, but they can still cause flooding and their reload rate isn't bad. One has to be a little careful about positioning, as detectability range is almost as large as torp range, but for approaching targets, that's not much of a problem. Nimbleness isn't a problem. It does 'seem' a bit weak, but then I usually play Gearing and Tashkent these days, which would likely make any Tier VII DD look weak.   I'll try a few Yubari ones.

GhostPrime:   Yes!
