Tanitha: That sounds more like a problem with your torrent program. Do you use Utorrent?

MrVic: The T32 and the T26E5 were actually both separate tanks. Both were started as parallel projects with the goal of building a heavier armored tank.
As the standard M26 (without additional plating) did not have sufficient protection from the Tiger II. One project T32 went with a larger tank, up armored
front with a better slope and a new heavy turret design, and a improved engine. The other was the T26E5 which was to replace the plated armored M26.
The armor for the T26E5 was drastically increased and it was up gunned to 105mm and the 90mm L73. Also it had an improved transmission and was regeared
at a lower end granting a higher torque, this was to compensate for the weight increase. The tank was slow but rather mobile, also it packed a punch.
The project ended classified as a Medium and was never produced past prototypes.
Basically the Super Pershing was the up gunned improved transmission/engine M26. The other versions were the M26 with added plate armor and standard and up gunned variations. The Heavy Super Pershing was the ending of the T26E5.

MrVic: Mainly the issue I see with that is permitting a parallel move at tier 8 probably would not make progression through the tree very fluid. Tier 8 tends to be the top end of championship and some battle setups. So making a move between the 2 could be bad. Tho with a hefty exp cost it could be plausible.
As for the history side of things. The T32 shared many components with the M26 road wheels basic hull design ect. But as the hull was lengthened and the frontal hull up armored and redesigned and a new turret design the lineage between the 2 exists but is not as pronounced as it would be with a Super Pershing or the Heavy Super Pershing.
Tho not saying it not possible. But I left out links like that due to Tier 8 and above links so far being limited to the same tank class trees.
Also shared parts does not alway lead to a link between trees but does offer a historical reason to provide a link if it fits progression or tech tree flow.
Couple examples. M24 Chaffee, M37 (same hull as the M24) , M41 (Same hull as the M24) Priest was based off the M3 Lee/Grant Hull. One thing the US did alot was made many variations off of base hulls or reinvented them for other roles when they were nearing obsolete.
But the idea is good if it would work out for the flow of things.
For reference Picture of a T32, The pershing was much smaller and only had 6 road wheels, The T32 used a redesigned M26 hull and enlarged for 7 road wheels.

merig00: Such behavior is against the rules and if recorded may lead to a ban.

merig00: There is a suggestion subforum. However this idea was already brought up.

merig00: The idea is to have multiple tanks and play all of them, he just gave you a suggestion on how to make some money without selling anything. If you are out of money - go to depot and see if there are any ammo/equipment/modules that you are not using and can sell. You can also convert some gold into credits.

MrVic: Actually the added plates were retro fitted and plates cut and attached at the production plant. The panther glacias was one of the versions(tho was a theater change). Cut plates were also used. The addition of the plating was overseen by eng and standard plating was designed and improved and applied.
It wasn't pretty but was a approved design change.
The improved plating brought it's armor on the hull much higher the the t32 turret slightly less then t32. Also the overall size was much smaller then the t32. Until you scale compare them it's hard to see
Also their are a number of 90mm versions tested and a few combat tested

Tanitha: Email support@worldoftanks.com
And be aware that the game user/password and forum user/password is not linked.
So make it clear which one or both you are talking about, to them
PMing you the reply and locking the thread, because its in the wrong section.
Regards.

Tanitha: Locking then... : )

MrVic: Aye would work out really well

Overlord: The previous update fixed nototious teleporting issue, uncovering some other "features" of the game engine. The update itself did nothing to visibility/spotting system.
The only way out at the moment is increasing the rate of visibility checks that would substantially load the servers.

MrVic: You can send support a Email with the request. Tho right now I think they are only working on changing names in violation. (I could be wrong)
But feel free to they may be able to help you:)

Overlord: It's a beta, not demo. That's why we have not deadlines but preliminary dates.
What did the 0.6.1.5 update break?
Number of active users is growing actually, not fast, but still growing. Since we don't have enough server capacity both in EU and NA, there is no urgent need in active PR and advertisement camapaign.

Overlord: These are speed limits for perferct terrains. In this case, IS-4 - 43 km/h, IS-7 - 60 km/h.
Let's not start it from the very beginning. Speed limits for heavies won't be changed in the near future.

Overlord: Yes, the same. We are switching to new bilds almost as soon as they are ready. Some of BW2 new features have already been implemented (post-processing visual effects), some are going to be added (multi-core support).

Tanitha: http://forum.worldof...racking-thread/
Locking.

Overlord: We operate several testing stages simultaneously. Updates are deployed frequently (approx 10 patches per month for supertest server), however not all of them make it to public servers.

Overlord: Think we will make a series of polls. Open questions for large audience are more difficult to work with.

Tanitha: I thought it was going to be...
After Wipe Should I................ Flush!...
But anyway...
The T44 is a nice medium. But there is T9 mediums out soon anyway.
So I dont know how good the new T9's are and how they compare.
How the T9's are, would effect what tier 8 I go for.
But anyway now warping is fixed, mediums and even lights are pretty easy to lead... and shoot. So the speed of the T44 is pretty worthless now.
So i prefer the heavies to the mediums at the moment, Like the IS series.

Overlord: Visibility is limited to ~700m due to game engine characteristics. BigWorld team is not going to increase it in the near future. Unfortunately.

Overlord: It is going to be decreased mostly.
E.g.
Т32: 90mm_Gun_T15E2 - 54->43, 105mm_Gun_T5E1 - 43->38.
Т34: 90mm_Gun_T15E2 - 48->34, 105mm_Gun_T5E1 - 40->30, 120mm_Gun_T53 - 34->26.

Tanitha: I have no idea sorry, perhaps you should ask in the devs questions section.
Its a decent question.

MrVic: Yeah it will be one version of the super pershing. There are 3 variations of the super pershing. Since its designation was not offically changed through most of its changes they are hard to pick out. But the basic 2 are the up armored and up gunned pershing (heavy) then the up engined up gunned pershing (medium) the medium came after the heavy variant.

MrVic: The M26 pershing was in development and had met delays. The ordnance board put out a request to build a heavy tank based on and around as many pershing parts as they could. This mainly was due to the pershing originally being seen as a heavy and then realizing it was a medium in performance (note later retro fitted armor moved it back towards the heavy category) The T32 was sister to the pershing but in different design with similar parts (but they look very similar). With the engine compartment being expanded but not reworked enough to incorporate a large engine power plant it was shelved, along with a number of minor problems. Also the T29/T30 program was thought to produce a better alternative so it was never taken past prototype stages, and some of the design features were used later in the M26 variants and in the T43(M103) project.

MrVic: Ahh yeah typo will correct that. heh not sure why I did that. But thanks for the catch!

Tanitha: Mines really bad too, try Firefox as a web-browser though, it has a built in spell check.

Tanitha: Nice idea, but its full of spelling mistakes. A edit would be great..

Tanitha: Small light tanks used to do well in higher battles. Because credits are paid for damage done x the level of the vehicle IE how many tiers it is above you.
+ small tanks who scout, get paid for other tanks killing the target you spot.
But that was when there was a bug "warping" now the warping bug is fixed, light and medium tanks die pretty quickly. Making the higher games a lot harder for them.
Lights and mediums could both do with some kind of buff now. Its being worked on..
+ Discussion on the closed beta is limited to the closed beta section of the forums.
Moving..

Tanitha: Advantages of the USA server.
A much lower ping (less delay)
Much more English, and a lot less euro languages.
95+% of the Australians will play there, so more people in your time zone.
The two australian mods will play there, Me and soulspectre.
I doubt there will be an Asian/Australian server. Because there is a china server.
China is on about the same time zone as West Australia.
Even if there ever was a Asian / Australian server, id not play on it.
In other games there is usually more English language on the USA servers than there is on Australian/Asian servers.
And the USA servers usually have a 24/7 player population. The australian servers for other games are usually only populated in peak AUS times.
So all in all, If you are australian, click USA server.
Its not much of a choice really.

MrVic: The Prem listed in the revised tree, is a planned premium. I want to move it into the tree instead of being premium. The Prem listed on it, is just a reference to what tank it is.
Also the Pershing has a few variations to it. Depending on what variation it was in depended on it being considered a Medium or a Heavy. Extra armor plating was added to a large number of pershing and it was up gunned creating one of the Super pershing variations.

MrVic: Nope no official changes I think would help, just my thoughts I am not a dev

MrVic: Christie tanks, their on the full release tree they have posted Much like the BT-2 and such
