ARGO: This is very informative, I think it deserves a "Pin"

ARGO: Ironing clothes in a moving tank is a really bad idea...

ARGO: This thread falls dirctly under the "gibberish" section of forum post rules.
POST LOCKED AND MOVED TO JUNKYARD

ARGO: if the IS4 stares at the sun, The sun will wince and see spots......

ARGO: So what would you write/edit in for a dual core?

Tanitha: Yep, when something happens like the gold issued today. Its like a recorded message in garage a chat.
A motd would reduce most of this in the garage chat.
Thanks for the suggestion.

ARGO: Simplest solution = Make all the buildings destructable and clear vision all the way across the field...No where to hide = camping over.....

Tanitha: Nice photo, Ive not seen that particular photo before.
But.. a couple of problems.
1. A photo on this tank is posted weekly, and into a new thread each time, So I have to lock and dump this one as well.
2. This section of the forums is for tanks that are "in game". Its not in game. So again wrong place.
3. There is a section for "modern vehicles" But there isn't a section for old tanks that aren't in game.
Ive added two new sections to the new forums to fix this.. But the new forums aren't online yet.
Im sure when the new forums go online, It can have its own thread in its right section.
At the moment there is no section this belongs in apart from offtopic.
So anyway,,, closing this thread. : )
Have fun..

ARGO: Ok, I have finally bought my 1st American tank and I was very hard pressed to burn my saved up exp/gold seeing I was well on my way to a T-44 but I decieded after reading and hearing a lot of good things regarding the Sherman E8 to give it a whirl and I have to say, It's a very very good tank. This little bugger like it's smaller brother forces a player to learn to fight in a whole new way which only your good T-44 and Panther drivers are used to..."Run and Gun". This tank is extremly fun to drive when upgraded and can easily become addictive with it's very good handling and turning at speed. It is everything you ever wanted in an all around tank and suits most battle situations well with a small exception of fire power. If your the type of player that wants to go toe to toe with an IS3/Tiger ect, It's not for you. But if your a T-44/Panther lover this tank is icing on your cake....it's that good. The tank is seriously fun to drive and corners with ease when upgraded. The turret is fast and reload time is faster. It can take descent damage and can also snipe very well. I myself have been a die hard VK3601H fan but I will admit that my love for my VK3601H is now waining. I will tell you that NO this tank is not gonna win wars by itself but get into a wolfpack of these little demons and you will absolutly give any heavy a really really bad day. "I tried this, it works". This tank is a real money maker ammo is dirt cheap and damages never exceded 3,400! The tank will usually net you no less than around 11,000 a battle in premium as well.
So that's my take on the Sherman E8 and Yes, it was worth the exp and gold.....A very good decision.

There is no need to start another thread and throw in insults towards the mods.
ROed 7 days..
Locking.

Tanitha: This thread is too derailed and off-topic to ever get back on topic I think.
So I'm closing the thread. No official warnings issued, but please do not derail threads like this in future..
To the OP, please feel free to repost your question into another thread. And to keep that thread on topic I suggest you cut the garage photo a bit next time : )
PMed the OP..
Regards..

Overlord: For players who were online at the time the daily gold amount was raised to 500 a day, until the gold was issued, did not have their new daily gold gift amount updated.
This resulted in the receiving of the normal beta gold gift of 150 gold being incorrectly applied. This unfortunately affected approximately 1000+ players so it is not possible to correct this problem manually. We apologize for this, but you will receive the correct Xmas bonus of 500 gold per day as of tomorrow and daily up until the 2nd January.
Have fun in game, and have a nice Xmas break..
Locking this thread now that the official release is out.

Overlord: No softwipe this year.
Soft wipes are scheduled events needed solely for technical pruposes and require much time and effort.
Closed

Overlord: There is no point in revealing all and at once. Patience, please.

Tanitha: Hi.. Please send a screnshot to support (support@worldoftanks.com) and discuss this issue with them.
There is no known bugs with premium days. All previous problems like this have been because the player doesn't log in for a day or more, and thus the premium days has dropped.
It also causes some confusion because the server time and player time is different.
Like if it says 25 days premium left, it doesn't say if this is 25 days and 1 hour, or 25 days and 23 hours.
But send the screenshots to support and they can check for you..
Please do the screenshot in this format.

Tanitha: Thanks.

Tanitha: The problem is with your account.
# Group: Members
Your group should be "beta tester" then you could access the rest of the forums.
You probably have another forum account that you made when you made your game account? Log into that one if you have.
PMed reply to OP..
Locking.

Tanitha: No its not permanent, its a Xmas bonus. It will end some time after Xmas.
I'll leave the official dates, for the up-coming official announcement though.

Overlord: We will discover the fault and fix it.

Overlord: Daily gold income is increased regardless of game performance, posting activity on the forums, previous violations and suspensions, premium account or its absence, ie for everybody.

Overlord: Daily gold income is increased to 500 for all beta testers, starting from December 20.
The respective announcement will appear on the website shortly.

MrVic: Another thing I have been working on is the numerous variations that existed for the 90mm and a couple more of the 105mm versions (tho 105mm ones are limited).

MrVic: One thing I debated is the T32 had a few revisions late before it officially was stopped. T32E1 had improved fire control systems, and overall improvements in a few areas. Also it had a some good improvements designed but not completed on a prototype. It might work with some of those improvements in the Tier 9 position. Tho the minor armor boost it had planned might be needed for that. (Tho testing on it would need to be done)
Also with very hard to find records on the T26E5 in regards to hard data, The T26E5 might serve better in a tier 8 position. Which would put it in a better position to link to the Pershing. Eagerly awaiting the mail as finally some information requests on it should be to me in the next week or so! Probably will see some adjustments after that time.

MrVic: Will do I'll update it with a link

MrVic: Will do   I'll update it with a link

MrVic: Will do   I'll update it with a link

MrVic: Yeah the slopes and respectable armor will give it a fighting chance. Plus it has good speed and mobility.
Calculating effective due to slopes you get pretty close to the following.
Slopes all provide a good deflection surface
Upper Front Effective 150mm
Lower Front Effective 143mm
Side Effective 80mm
Rear Effective 76mm
Turret Gun Shield Effective 250mm to 143mm
Turret Front Effective 170mm
Turret side Effective 190mm to 212mm
Turret Rear Effective 80mm

MrVic: Yeah like I said its a possibility but more worried on getting the tanks added over flow of the tech tree. The parrallel remark was they were started at the same time and were shooting for the same goal, but very separate projects. Overall its possible we'll see. Also keep in mind the 4502 Aus A and 4502 Aus B are Tier 8 and Tier 9 not parrallel

Tanitha: Nice thread, but discussion on the closed beta is limited to the closed beta sections of the forums.
I'll move this thread to vehicles, German, heavies..

Tanitha: The servers used to handle about 8500 players, then they would drop games to garage. Now they hold 11,000+ players, and the Russian servers hold up to 35,000 players. (About)..
Our servers are due to be upgraded to handle 60k players each shortly. And since the servers are splitting into usa/europe, thats 2 60k servers or 120k players online at once.
This is a huge increase compared to the 11k that they hold now.
So to answer your question.
"They are"

Tanitha: Hi Aiden.
Kaspersky is a decent virus scanner because it blanket checks and prevents anything that remotely looks like a virus.
But that however is the reason that its also not a very good virus scanner, its a pain in the backside, and interferes with things that aren't viruses.
I suggest you replace it though instead of just switching it off.

Tanitha: The topic was suggested and bought up for consideration.
It was not received well, with 90% being against the suggestion.
However now that the thread has swapped to the usual arty discussions, it is being closed.
