Tanitha: American tanks have their own section now.
http://forum.worldof...rican-vehicles/
So closing this.

Tanitha: Push 4,5,6 ? They are to activate equipment, If you dont have equipment in those slots, then no those buttons wont work.
Buy a repair kit and mount it in those slots if you wish to have a quick repair. Otherwise leave it for the crew to work on.
Arty: Best way to work out where arty can shoot is to play one and look, 1 game in a bison doesn't really give you much of a idea on arty.
WOT ISnt a simulator, so its not designed to simulate real life. Its trying to find a nice balance of realism and fun.

MrVic: Its an average of both loaders skill, So if one dies you take a penalty but its not as bad. Since both loaders being present is taken into account in the gun rpm, the loss of one hurts but is not to bad. Hope that helps

ARGO: Wanna know why an IS7 top speed is 50kph?
FEAR.
It has to be because the IS4 does 30kph

MrVic: Did some cleaning, if you had a post removed it was due to being off topic.
Good luck to all the Champ League everyone!

ARGO: You get the Hogan's alley video game
I put in Clint Eastwood

Tanitha: F1 should bring up the menu.
Heres a photo of it from colddawg.
http://i23.photobuck...OT/shot_063.jpg

Tanitha: Exactly, there is already many threads. You know that, so why make yet another to spam the forums with.?
The IS7 is indeed a impressive tank.
Its true that after a soft-wipe there will be a ton more of them.
On release. 85% of players of FreeToPlay games dont pay. So I doubt there will be that many on release.
Definitely nowhere near as many as there are now. At the moment tons of free gold is given out, it will be different when gold costs.
There will be other tanks that might surpass the IS7. T9 mediums. Top tier arty. US TD's. More TD's. The German E100's. ETc..
The correct section to discuss tanks, is in the tank section.

Tanitha: Im not sure how the euro side will be structured, I'll goto the USA server..
But it shouldn't be too bad, if you get in a Italian clan, you only need to talk to your platoon/clan mates
Regards

Tanitha: I prefer this suggestion to devs.
http://forum.worldof...ame-stats-chat/
Which asks for more stats after a game + time to discuss them.

Tanitha: Ive seen screenshots were people have gotten 10/10 and noone else got a sniper medal. So it wasn't that someone else got more.
I'm not sure what the bug is. there is other threads on this topic. so this should be merged, when I find one of the other threads.

Tanitha: All crew is for ONE tank, swapping them to another tank requires them to be retrained in which they cost more credits/gold and lose a lot of exp.
Everything you need to know about crew, is here.
http://forum.worldof.../8498-faq-crew/
If you still have any questions, that's the place to ask.
Closing this thread, and pming the OP.

Tanitha: The game will be down-loadable for free, the same as it is now.
There might be a boxed version available for some regions/countries, or maybe online. But they will be promo boxes sort of system, IE like they probably will contain some collector extra's. They aren't required.
There is no required subscription, the game is free to play.
But there is micro transactions for extra's.

Tanitha: Reduced visibility means they are harder to be seen.
IE making light tanks harder to be spotted, big heavies easier to be spotted, etc.

Tanitha: Yep..
I finally found it. It was labeled low graphics. I was searching low res, and other things..
Low res pack. : http://forum.worldof...-settings-pack/
Hotfix for 6.1.5 : http://forum.worldof...ormance-hotfix/
And yes I pinned it.
Moving this back to tech support, PMing the op.

Tanitha: From my reading of the op, he knows of the change. But he is asking for a icon to see which tank has earned it and which tank hasn't.
I also have about 10 tanks in my garage, so knowing which has earned and which hasn't would be nice.

Tanitha:

Jeremy Taylor: Game Account: your e-mail
In-game name: alias, your nickname you have in World of Tanks
Class: the class of a tank you drive
Level: the level of a tank you drive

Tanitha: Plenty of keys here
http://forum.worldof...available-here/
Locking.

Tanitha: The topic is clans, please get back on topic please.

Tanitha: Yep there is a tech and error section.
The bug is with xfire, so switch it off, and all should be good.
Will pm you.

Tanitha: I would expect that a decent clan would be earning gold for owning land, And that gold is then used to pay for things that the clan needs.

Tanitha: Too many pineapples.

Tanitha:

Tanitha: Use the beta testing account to access the forums not this one. This one can only access 1/4 of the forums.

Tanitha: Sounds like he wants a low res textures pack.
I think I've heard of them. But i cant find them with search.
They might be out of date too now, with new tanks added to the game fairly often.
Editing title, and moving to creativity.

Tanitha: Excuses for breaking the rules just get out of hand.
I killed him because he shot me, I killed him because he tracked me at the start of the game, I killed him because he was camping, I killed him because he drives a arty, I killed him because he was capping, I killed him because he called me a noob... The list goes on..
So the rules are quite simple, dont kill or intentionally damage your team mates or you get banned.
I think the main thing with the OP, is that its not just banable to TK, its banable to damage your own team. So screenshots of his damage with a accompanying email should have been emailed to support@worldoftanks.com or lodged at their new website support.worldoftanks.com
Spending the time to take the screenshots of him damaging other tanks, would have resulted in him being banned. And you would have only lost that one 5+ minute game.
The Tk rules might not be perfect at the moment, but they will probably change a few times before release, but that's what the rules are at the moment.
Thread locked.

Tanitha: The system is decent.
If you wish to continue playing a tank past the time that you can upgrade to the next tank, Then you can upgrade it to elite, and then pay gold to transfer any extra leftover exp off it.
This is one of the few main sources of income and gold spending for the game.
Main Gold use
Buying premium.
Transferring gold to credits.
Transferring exp to free exp with gold.
They need to earn a income from their game..
Moving to discussion, it doesn't belong in the tech section.

MrVic: Good listing for base armor values the tankopedia, its still being worked on, http://game.worldoft...m/encyclopedia/
The other thing is mainly some trial and error and the biggest is base armor value based on facing and trying to get shots on the flattest angles you can.
This were the high school geometry we all slept through starts to help some
Get good at neutralizing slopes or picking shots against good angles, then start to reference the armor values for those area even if its a vague listing, and you'll see
better results.

ARGO: I had a guy once in an T-44 come up to my IS4 when I was tracked and about 30% health and he tried one of those "Ram his gun up your tanks engine and pop" stunts. Well My guess is that he didn't notice his own health was 8%. He fired blew himself up and I laughed and wrote to him as he raged "behold the power of cheese!!!".

ARGO: We have been down this road of discussion before, I myself have written plenty regarding this. The simple answer is they suffer from P.U.T.T.S
Premature, Upper. Tank, Tier, Syndrome
No one likes playing with a PUTTS so just screenshot/report them to community@worldoftanks.com

Tanitha: A T2 light tank seems to go into tier 1-2 "light tank only" battles 1/2 the time.
The other 1/2 the time it goes into games that contain TD's and arty.
Playing A T2 TD puts you in the mixed tank/td/arty games.
So I personally prefer the T2 light tanks, to the T2 TD's.

Tanitha: I dont really think new players have to play T 1-2 very long any more anyway.
175 Exp for a T2.
1,310 Exp for a T3.
In my first and only game in a stock USA T1, i just got 0 kills, shot 12 times, hit once, got hit 4 times.
And earned 424 exp with it being the first game of the day in that tank. Almost the 1/3 of the way to the exp needed for a T3 already from 1 bad game.
As for credits, its buy-able with gold.
So, 4 games? and the spending of a few gold -> credits, and you are in a T3..

Tanitha: Yeah please. I dont have a loltractor skin loaded atm. There's probably others that would appreciate it too.
Thanks.

Tanitha: No, but then your mate can buy premium for a day. IE you alternate on who buys the premium.

Tanitha: Only one person needs premium to make the platoon.
So the best way is to wait 17 days and save your 150 gold a day to buy a months premium for 2500 gold. But there is many other ways.
1. You can get someone with premium in general chat, and the two of you can platoon with him/her.
2. One of you two can buy a days premium alternatively.
You get 600 gold between you's every 2 days.
2 days premium is only 500.
So you could buy a days premium one day, he could buy it the next.
Etc..
