HBFT: A lot of good advice here. :)  Wish I had this available to me when I first started playing!

pizzastorm: It is exactly what we are looking for.  Thanks for staying on topic and pointing out the issues and providing some great suggestions. 

pizzastorm: I agree, it would help if the plateau could not be retreated behind over and over.

pizzastorm: The hills looks pretty close together. I don't have the exact size since it is just a concept at the moment. I imagine that any scout reaching the bottom could light the enemy team pretty quickly. And yes, the buildings look a little sparse, especially if they are destructible.

pizzastorm:   Yeah, I was wondering the same thing camping on the hill. It seems like the developers are trying to design it to be disadvantageous to sit on the hill as there is no cover of any sort. Sure we see camping on top of hills on maps such as Redshire, but there is cover and foliage as well to keep campers relatively safe. Who do you think would win between a team that mostly gets to cover at the bottom of the hill against a team that largely sits out on top of the hill? I am curious since I have no idea . Not something we have seen before.       If you think these hills will promote camping and be an advantage for tds, what could be done to fix it?

dance210:   But, but, we're west coast. And we wouldn't want to be responsible if you were distracted during your work day...    <3!

pizzastorm: Happy Friday Tankers,   For those of you who have not seen our "Endless War" trailer, take a look below.      According to information we have received from our developers, they have been designing a map based on concepts seen in this trailer. The main idea is to create a single zone for fast and dynamic battles (without camping or trench warfare ...)!  It is currently only a concept and it has not yet been decided whether this map will be implemented or not.    This is where you come in! This is your chance to make your voice heard as we are looking for feedback/suggestions to send to the development team. Yes, this would be a divergence from maps we have seen in the past but we want to know if this type of map is something our community wants to see!  Take a look at the concept below and please let us know what you think (constructive comments only please).    Thanks everyone.

Content_WG: Win a trip to Vegas to see BJ Penn fight Frankie Edgar, or a week of ultimate training with BJ in Hawaii -- plus prizes from Razer, J!NX and Wargaming!

pizzastorm:   We will probably try to max out the points that we can bring.

Trevzor: Heyo!   I would love to see what exactly is happening.   Do you have a replay for us to see? It's kinda hard to ascertain what exactly is going on without the visual you are seeing.

The_Chieftain:   We noticed: We fixed it. Yet over on FTR we get hammered for finding and fixing a problem which nobody else identified. You're putting us into a no-win situation here.   in the meantime, I've disappeared some uncomfortable posts. RD, if you have an issue with a poster's contentious position on another thread, keep it on that other thread.

dance210:   Y'all are on my list which I will post tomorrow, but managed to get missed on the copy/paste onto the forums. Sorry! 

dance210: Hi all!!   Thank you again for all your patience :)   There were a total of 2717 unique participants across the entire weekend!!   The final standings have been updated, showing those who made the Top 1%, Top 5% and Top 10%.   If anyone thinks that they found an error please PM or send an email tournaments@wargamingamerica.com. I know of at least one issue with Beastmode707 that I can't fix until I get back to the office tomorrow.   Great job to everyone who participated!

The_Chieftain: I can do better, but I'll wait for publication....   i am am going to have to release a chapter on something as a Hatch article as a teaser for the book... Not quite sure what, though.

The_Chieftain:   There's protective coating (the silver/grey stuff). Keeps moisture from getting at the casing. One of the points of inspection of the ammunition before loading it into the rack is to ensure that there are no bulges in the casing caused by moisture. Could inhibit loading.

The_Chieftain:   I'm not sure I was one of them. I'll have to dig out my archive file to check...  

The_Chieftain:   No, there are a whole bunch of people spuriously reporting posts, from both sides of the thread's ideological divide, taking excessive umbrage at perceived insult.   And for the record, I've no problem with innuendo. (As one report was for)

Hypnotik:   Hello eSports fans!   It's time to take the WGLNA Gold League to the next level! Starting with the upcoming Season 4, we will be entering into a closed-beta stage with the fantasy league, in which you will be able to compete against friends, clanmates, and even the pros themselves.   Create your team from any players that are active in the league! Create or join a group to compete against your friends or clanmates! Use detailed statistics of WGLNA players to make the best decisions for your team!   How to join the beta: Just go to the fantasy league website at http://www.fantasywgl.com and fill out the beta application, which can be found in the news article on the homepage. There's no need to create an account, as the website uses the Wargaming OpenID system to log you in. Be sure to sign up soon, the beta testing positions are limited!   Once users are granted beta access, you will have full access to the website. Currently, the data from Season 3 (our internal alpha test) is still available to see, which should help you form a better understanding of how it functions.   Good luck!

Content_WG: This weekend, WGLNA teams compete to qualify for the 4th season!

The_Chieftain:   There was a British armoured car in the 1930s, for colonial service, you could electrify the armour plate. Not quite sure how the circuit was supposed to be completed by the touching indigenous ruffian, however.
