Haschem, on 14 December 2010 - 12:36 PM, said: DONT SHOOT ANOTHER PLAYER or kill them.
When they shoot on you, make Screenshot, when someone Teamkill you, make Screenshot.
DO NOT Selfdefense by shoot back or kill them.
When someone say "Kill XYZ Person" and you are this Person, make Screenshoot.
Send this Screens to community@worldoftanks.com or to support@worldoftanks.com
But NEVER take Revenge.....
arkhell, on 14 December 2010 - 12:37 PM, said: you aren not allowed to shoot your team even in self defence just
report them with screenshots. you got served basicly by people
trying too get you banned adn they succeded.
next time jsut screenshot wtith crtl+print screen and send the screen to support.
discussing punishment on the forum is not allowed by the way and you risk the chance to get either a temp forum read only ban or permenent forum ban for doing so.
Trill, on 14 December 2010 - 12:37 PM, said: The problem is you killed three of your team mates.
If a team mate is intentionally trying to kill you, screenshot it and report it. Do not retaliate, you already saw what happens when you do that.
Ildryn, on 14 December 2010 - 12:50 PM, said: Shooting another player is against the rules...regardless of
whether or not you were shot first.
Take screen shots of the people shooting you with "Print Screen" Button and report it to

Tanitha: All correct, except the email address for reporting Tkers is now
support@worldoftanks.com
Disputing bans is also done via email to support@worldoftanks.com And are not allowed within the forums.
I dont think there is much to dispute though, It sounds pretty clear that you broke the game rules and killed your own team.
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..
The rules are quite simple, dont kill or intentionally damage your team mates or you get banned.
Thread locked.

Tanitha: The current version is 6.1.5
You can download it here. http://game.worldoftanks.com/update
If you are running the correct version you do not need to load the launcher at all, and you can run the worldoftanks.exe file directly.
It seems at the moment. You are blocking the updater.

Team killing is against the rules.
The current rules are not perfect, I'm sure that the rules will be improved many times, but these are the rules that you need to do now.

about xmas gifts that hopefully will compensate for some of the
planning for the softwipe.

That way we could rerun the track with different skins and game settings to achieve maximum visuall quality. Same goes with the ability to actually toggle off the entire GUI for making screenshots.

ARGO: I finally got me an IS7,My 1st tier 10 and A lot of work and a lot
of $$$.
So Now I want to add my thoughts on this super heavy for all the newcomers:
Is it a good tank? Yes, it is fantastic
Does it Kick rump? Like no ones business
Is it better than the IS4? NO it is not
Why? Because when your in it, you are everyones target and I mean EVERYONES from arty to mediums they all want you dead. Theres an old proverb "It's not easy being the King" and it's true because when your trucking around in a Maus/IS7 everyone will try to make a name for themselves over your dead carcass so that's a price you must be willing to pay if your going for the gusto.
I strongly suggest to you to have your IS4/IS3 for back up, I am glad I kept mine because they are not so much of a Tank magnet. Now don't get me wrong and think I hate it or it's bad, It's not at all a bad tank but remember this before you leap into it.
You will absolutly need premium to run it a lot.
You will spend over 25,000 to fix it
You will spend over 18,000 for shells if you run low
You will be everyones 1st target
You will be expected to lead the charge most of the time

t44 does the same stuff, it just way better armored and has more hp and way bigger gun. if you didn't know.. it's almost as fast. If you think leopard is bad ass.. try 3 t44's charging your home base right in the start.. they will kill half of your team by themselfs with artillery support.. Then if you get really unlucky.. the enemy heavies show up when your still trying to clean the t44's out in the artillery shell rain.

guys,btw ive been a WWII nut for over 20 years,first thing i have
to ask is i really didnt like the look of the "auto aim" feature,is
this what it really dose? as im surprised that a game like this
should come not down to skill level not how fast you can click an
"auto aim" button?..please tell me this i'snt true,also..is this
game really free to play? im asking this as i dont want to have to
spend hours downloading the client and updates to find this game
really isnt for me

zealous with bans and telling people off for minor infractions,i
dont really want to become involved in a community where we have to
live with "forum nazis"...ive had enough of them in the past and
they scare people away,would like to become a regular player if
this game is what i think it is,thanks for any helpful replys.

Link on message: #288887


Tanitha: Auto aim aims at the turret. That's not good because its usually
heavily armored. So its much better to aim elsewhere. Also for a
moving target you dont aim at the tank you aim in front of it, So
again auto aim isn't very good. Auto aim is there, manual aim is
better.

Tanitha: The rules are pretty clear, and mods do the job they were asked to
do, which is enforce those rules. Have a read through them, and
there shouldn't be any problems.

Tic, on 11 December 2010 - 10:49 PM, said: I wanted to have the community feeling about the responsabilty of
piloting a high tier tank.
I don't pilot an uber high tier tank, just a T-44, but when i see i'm in the top 3 of the tank list i think that what i will decide to do will have an impact on the whole battle. I mean that if i get pwnd early in the match, the lack of a high tier tier tank will penalize the whole team.
So, when you are in a T-44 i think that you need to take risks and be in the front line to be effective with your tank class. The problem is that in WoT, when you take risks you are about to be smashed hard and quick. I recently took a Panther's shot in my ammo rack and went from 100% hp to 0% hp with one shot.
The question is, what do you guys think you have to do, try to be effective at what your tank is designed for and risk to penalize your team if you fail or just be verry cautionous and don't participate enough regarding your tank tier ?

ARGO: Just as you have a legitimate point, There is also a counter point
which is equally important. When your teams Super Heavy is out
there, That tank needs to have serious back up from Arty + Mediums
because like arty, when you lose your heavyies 9 out of 10 ten
times you lose.
Fact: Heavies are only as effective as their back up is.
Fact: Heavies themselves can't win games but they can lose them without support.
Fact: Heavies Usually account for most of the damage inflicted on other heavies so Arty/Mediums can take em out.
You are right about the occasional "P.U.T.T.S" players who think they are Patton and want to go it alone and you may never be able to change that, but this problem isn't just to do with Heavies, it takes the entire team to win a game. Not just heavies or mediums, or Arty.....It takes teamwork and communication.

TheOctagon, on 13 December 2010 - 12:57 AM, said: I noticed (and got killed) on quite a few maps today, that most
heavies and mediums aren't even bothering to stop the lights that
are rushing the base. Now before the flames begin, Kudo's to those
tankers that do.
I look across the base when I see the mini-map light up, see all 10 green dots surrounding him and figure they'll do their jobs and kill him.
Next thing I know, the same light tank is capping AND EVERYONE'S STILL MOVING AWAY FROM BASE! The arty has to deal with him, and we lose a few everytime because HE'S SPOTTING FOR HIS OWN ARTILLERY!
Now, all the tanks that let him go by get pummeled by the enemy artillery, which is getting no counter-artillery fire due to the fact they were killed in the beginning. Suddenly its the artillery that gets told that they suck for not doing their jobs?! Frak THAT!
You know their going to rush with light tanks. It happens every map these days. Even on Campinova there's always one or two guys in light tanks who try to scoot across the middle, and usually get one or two units killed by our opponents side. Again, because his artillery is watching.
It only takes a few seconds to finish those guys off and your not starting the match two units in the hole before the real battle begins.
Sorry for ranting guys, but losing matches is mostly due to the fact that:
No one RETREATS when they should. Tanks are blowing up all around them but screw it, just keep going!
Their using their mad rushing skills(I laugh here), get to a bottleneck, the lead tank stops and everyone behind him is artillery fodder. And the ARTLLERY sucks for killing them. Okee, how about that guy up front...
Teamwork. I'm not even going to try to explain. Watch some sports maybe?
Communication. Get told to 'stfu' a few times and why bother calling for help at all? If they cap, it can always get blamed on somebody else for being a 'n00b' team.
Nobody covers anybody else. Pretty self explanatory.
I applaud those gamers who say 'gg' at the end of a match. It shows sportsmanship is not completely dead. Just dying.
I could keep going, but I'm sure there will be a few added in later posts.
Okay I'm ready, let the flaming begin..

Sorry for ranting guys, but losing matches is mostly due to the fact that:
No one RETREATS when they should. Tanks are blowing up all around them but screw it, just keep going!
Their using their mad rushing skills(I laugh here), get to a bottleneck, the lead tank stops and everyone behind him is artillery fodder. And the ARTLLERY sucks for killing them. Okee, how about that guy up front...
Teamwork. I'm not even going to try to explain. Watch some sports maybe?
Communication. Get told to 'stfu' a few times and why bother calling for help at all? If they cap, it can always get blamed on somebody else for being a 'n00b' team.
Nobody covers anybody else. Pretty self explanatory.
I applaud those gamers who say 'gg' at the end of a match. It shows sportsmanship is not completely dead. Just dying.
I could keep going, but I'm sure there will be a few added in later posts.
Okay I'm ready, let the flaming begin..

Archives\Junkyard\Quiting Till The American Tanks Are Fixed Or Removed
Link on message: #288535
Cragarion, on 13 December 2010 - 05:34 AM, said: Well gameplay is now just dumb you have tier 10 tanks unable to
kill tier 7 american tanks due to the armor bug, and even on
premium you cant make any money due to the amount of shells you
have to use to destroy bugged american tanks.

Link on message: #288535

ARGO: So your quitting the Beta test because you found a bug am I correct
on this? Did you take the time to check with other players
regarding tips to deal with the American tanks? Did you make a note
to the Devs? Well I am going to give you a few tips to try before
you decied to go and quit.
1. Take off auto aim when attacking a American tank because they have really tough turrets even for an IS4 S-70 gun.
2. Aim for the body "chassis" or tracks "yes you will do great damage if you have a big gun.
3. Try HE on them.."Works well for me and messes them all up"
4. Use the philosophys if your smaller then them "If you can't out gun them, out run them" or "Surround then pound".
I drive a IS4 + VK3601H and I have NO problems dealing with American tanks with either of mine in fact, I have killed more T-29s with my VK than my IS4. Once you start hitting them below their turrets is game over for them.
I hope this helps you and remember that the way to win in this Beta is simple: "Adapt and overcome".

Technical Support & Bug Reporting\Localization & Translation\Invader Medal
Link on message: #288309
arkhell, on 13 December 2010 - 03:10 PM, said: base has to be totally captured and you alone should at least have
made 80 point contribution to the cap so if it' at 99 and map ends
you won't get it.

Link on message: #288309

Tanitha: It is this.
The base needs to be captured. You need 80+% of the capture percent.
So if you are capture 80% of the base and 5 other tanks rock up to help you finish the cap, the base is captured and you get the invader medal.
In your case the base was not captured at all. The game ended with all tanks killed, before the base was captured. So you captured 0..
The same as if you capture 80% then leave the circle, or if you capture 80% then got shot and it resets your marker..
I'm happy the way it is.. To get points and medals for capping, you need to complete the cap.

Likely that US TDs will be added after the game goes live (Ferbuary-March 2011). Regarding E-series, even can't give you any rough date.

moumoon, on 13 December 2010 - 07:08 AM, said: The armor bug isnt that big issue IMHO, since good ppl always use
manual aim, what makes the t29/32 seems very strong especially the
t29 is just the 105mm gun dmg + its ROF. It is amazingly crazy in
compare to its counterpart. So im not sure if ppl wont keep
complain even the armor bug removed.

Link on message: #287651

Tanitha: I was in a slug out with a T32 yesterday at about 300meters in my
fully upgraded 100% crews, lots of equipment vk4502..
I manual aimed low on the front of the tank and bounced 4 times in a row. It was kind of disconcerting since i was using the maus gun.
In the end, after 0 damage done and 4 shots fired that cost about 5k. I ended up flicking to target the JagTiger, which I could hit nps.
A few things that could have effected things though, I was 300m away, so the distance would have lost some penetration from the shells.
It was far enough away that although I was aiming low, the target reticule was large enough that I didn't really know where the shells ended up hitting.

out. I wanted to know if anyone has bitmap images of the maps so
someone could highlight some of the ideal locations for different
tactics and ranged combat. Like ideal SPG locations and camping
locations for tank destroyers. I think this could help a lot of
newer players and also clans to prepare for different situations.
Thanks for the time.
