Developers posts on forum

Overlord: See http://forum.worldof...ed/#entry372757

Overlord: German, Polish and Balkan subforums were moved to European WOT forums.
From now on http://forum.worldoftanks.com is North American WOT forums.

Overlord: This is an old issue that we failed to take into account, should be fixed [finally] in one of the upcoming updates.

MrVic: M103 was prototyped before 1950 I was trying to keep to 1950 cut, just a personal rule of thumb.
M48 basically its hull design was not built till after 1950 from what records I have.
Still collecting records on it. Thought a I had a full post on the time frames and prototypes of the M46-M48
will have to check back. If not will work up a good pile of certified info

MrVic: Some interesting ideas
The devs look to be heading towards changing all the trees some but the US one mostly. Only trouble I see is the M103 and T10, currently the M103 would have trouble at tier 10 since the limitation on ammo used by the game ect. But overall good suggestions
Hoping to hear more final plans from the devs on their plans in the next few weeks

Tanitha: You may report anything to support@worldoftanks.com but there is no known cheats.
It was probably your ammorack it is common on T44's which is why most of them use the "wet ammorack"
Closing.

Vallter: Firing directly in the gun will damage only the gun. Just like it does with tracks. But there is a chance of damaging enemy's tank by ricochet.

Vallter: According to PingPlotter's screenshot you attached in this theme http://forum.worldof...ashes-internet/ we think you have a great loss of packages. Connection issues may occur due to several reasons. To solve the problem, make sure that your anti-virus software\firewall\proxy\usergate do not block the client connection with the server.
Please open the following ports in the net settings:
IPs: 174.34.231.0-174.34.231.255
All destination UDP ports: 20013, 20014, 20018, 32801-32825
TCP game ports: 80, 443, 1080, 3128, 8080, 8081, 8088, 8888, 53
UDP voice chat ports: 12000-29999, 5060, 5062, 3478, 3479
Allow WorldOfTanks.exe to use UDP and TCP protocols.
Please, open "hosts" file, located in C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-w..nfrastructure-other_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_6079f415110c0210 folder and type in manually the following line: 174.34.231.143 login-master.worldoftanks.com
All the in-game settings and hosts, used by the game, can be traced in the "preferences.xml" file. Please press Windows key + R and type
%appdata%\wargaming.net\WorldOfTanks Delete "preferences.xml" file and only then reinstall your game client.
Also we suggest you to check your computer with anti-virus software. Some viruses can reduce Internet channel.
Please try all above-stated without skipping any part of instructions.

Tanitha: Codes are here.

MrVic: Does that mean you want a application? hehe

Tanitha: Its might be upsetting, but its a valid tactic.
It required them to sacrifice two tanks (usually), to take you out.

Tanitha: If you search the forums you will find many many posts on T44 ammo racks.
They are a small tanks, not much room, and a pile of ammo stored all around the tank.
Before it was very common for ammo explosions, so all T44's were quickly fitted with wet ammo racks. My T44 still has a wet ammo rack on it.
Recently T44's were buffed a bit "in the ammo rack", to make them less susceptible to ammo rack explosions, but they might still be a problem there, its hard for me to tell with my wet ammo rack installed now. But if you are having too many ammo rack explosions, put a wet ammo rack on too like many others have done.

Tanitha: Pretty common in a duel with two guys and pistols.
Not very common with two players in T44's. Its pretty rare that a T44 can one shot a T44 in the first place. Mind about both of you doing it at the same time.
Renaming your topic.

Overlord: We will make sure that everything goes fine first and than switch open beta. I think it will take about a week (January 24 or thereabouts).

Overlord: Fixed the announcement.
Thank you.

Overlord: Server split will occur on Monday, January 17. Be ready and follow the updates on the website and forums.

Tanitha: right i understand the problem now..
you are # Group: Members
most of the forums is beta testers only. requiring group "beta testers"
Have you registered for the game? made a game account? did you tell it to make another forum account for you then which is a beta tester?

Overlord: No exact date currently, but definitely after release. We are planning significant changes to all existing tech trees, especially to US and Soviet ones and would like to implement them all simultaneously, that will require some time.
The details will be revealed later

Overlord: Panther II's size is going to be decreased. Now we need to recheck KT's size to be totally sure.
T-54's model and size are fine. Unlikely to be changed.

Overlord: Panther II overall profitability will be adjusted in the upcoming updates. Supposedly, repair costs are going to be decreased.
