Closing..

ARGO: I have to say any IS named tank is great, all of them. T-44 is also a winner. For Germans I like the VK3601H and VK3001P because they are good little money makers. KV3 with a 107mm is a descent tank. I would dare say that any fast tank is a good scout and all Artillary are good. I havn't bought a Tiger tank but I can say I am sad to see how poorly they perform in the game. A friend of mine has one and it is forever being rife with gun, fire, ammo rack, turret problems. I really hope they fix the Tiger tank because a legendary tank like that deserves better. KT, They are great tanks but my friends complain about the gun missing a lot and bouncing.
I can't however make an opinion on TDs because I have not tried them as of yet. I do know however that when I am in my IS4 I consider TDs and Arty to be my guardian angels because they seem to always be there when I need them.

ARGO: 1. A stable running game with no lag or warping issues (and european servers, please...) "Warping issues are gone, Lag is something that all online games are plagued with, it's something you can't really get away from in an online game. And stability is always being worked on by the Devs after all it is a Beta."
2. Some new maps now and then. "Since that 2nd wipe there have been at least 4 new maps added and more comming"
3. A cool clan-battle map. "On the way"
4. Some new tanks now and then "They just added an entire tank tree"
I know it's tough to have to wait on things but like they say, good things come to those who wait so try to bear with the Devs and allow them to fix/adjust what we already have before we throw any more on their plates. Besides, I am sure there will be many goodies down the road for us all.

Tanitha: Its all in the stickied topic.
http://forum.worldof...available-here/
So closing.

Tanitha: When you install it, it asks you where you want to put it. You can tell it to install to D drive no problems.

Tanitha: The post says December, So its not the end of this month... more like 3 weeks away.
I think they will be splitting the forums to USA/Europe too then. IE two forums. A few other related things.. etc..

Tanitha: Hmm, I thought it was that too but unluckly for me it isn't :\
Have you tried putting it on for a battle, then taking it off again?
And moving this thread to the tech section for followup..

Tanitha:

Tanitha: I wouldn't recommend it, the existing names that don't meet the naming guidelines are getting worked on / renamed at the moment. It could save you some hassle in the future if you don't have a name that is on the below list.
3.5 Names and Avatars
While the limitations below may seem harsh, we feel very strongly that they have no place on the World of Tanks forums due to their extremely offensive and inappropriate nature. The following list is only a summary, but it gives some idea of names and avatars which are considered inappropriate on these forums:
• Names and avatars which have in any way racist, nationalistic, discriminative, abusive, obscene/vulgar, pedophiliac, disability or harrassment implications or which in some way insult an ethnic group
• Names which are unattractive and unreadable.
• Names and avatars which have an association with sexuality or violence.
• Names and avatars which have an offensive connection to the human body or bodily functions.
• Names and avatars which make reference to addictive substances or their use.
• Names and avatars of historical or political personalities, above all those which arouse feelings of suffering or disgust in the majority of people.
• Names and avatars which either in whole or partly contain copyrighted or registered trade mark elements.
• Logotypes, symbols, emblems, figures (such as, 88, 14) abbreviations (such as, SS), or their stylizations (such as, 55) which may provoke strong negative reaction/association or promote national/ethnic/religious hatred.
Such names which depict any type of the above mentioned content either implicitly or explicitly are prohibited. If names or avatars of forum accounts violate these rules they can be changed or the accounts may be blocked. Moreover, the administration reserves the right to delete, update or modify any names and avatars which are considered inappropriate on these forums. Instead of taking the above measures the administration can notify the holder of such name or avatar for the purpose of making the corresponding account changes.
Edit **
Ive checked with support. They will change the name in their next batch..
Pmed OP to advice them of that..
Edit **
Forum name has been changed already, the game names get done weekly.
Any problems PM me..

Tanitha: Very nice, thanks Juha.

Tanitha: Yeah no warping means people can manual aim, zoom and snipe at a distance.
Sorry Tanitha, but that doesn't cut it.
Whilst this may account for some of the increase it certainly doesnt answer the whole problem.
Prior to the patch the warping issue was for longer ranges. at closer ranges where autoaim wasnt required , hence people could still manual aim properly there wasnt this permatracked issue.
This has all occurred since the patch. Im currently running a JagdPanther , IS and T29 and its the sdame with all 3 (admittedly the T29 seems to get it worse than the other 2).
Its not a slight increase we are talking about either.
In all of the 1000+ games i played prior to the soft wipe and all the 1000+ games ive played since the soft wipe i never ever even once got permatracked. I at least at some point was able to repair and move a bit before getting tracked again. Since the latest patch I can count at least 10 games spread between 3 different vehicle that ive been permatracked until death.
Has my game play got that much worse or have people suddenly gained that much greater skill? i doubt it. That only leaves an issue with how the tracking is implemented by the game. Next to the Line of sight issues I believe this is the most game breaking problem at present. Hell its so bad that i don't even see people moaning about arty any more because this is so much worse
Sure it doesn't cut it. I only mentioned the main reason IMO..
There's what I said originally.... "Yeah no warping means people can manual aim, zoom and snipe at a distance."
+ The auto aim leading was changed, Again making auto aim pretty useless, so again more people using manual aim.
+ The introduction of USA tanks, that have good turret Armour and weak tank Armour, So again making people use manual aim and aim low.
There is many reasons why now people who used to auto aim are now manual firing and aiming lower to avoid the extra turret Armour on a lot of the tanks.
Before the patch I myself was a heavy auto aimer, I was happy to just hit the tank, I didn't really care where it hit as long as it hit.
Now auto aim is nowhere near as accurate, + the other reasons above, that's forced me to manual aim with zoom for 95% of the shots, where as I only used to manual aim about 30% of the shots prior to the patch.
Arty splash damage was altered too.
- Improved HE explosion: when exploding your HE on the static object near your tank, your tank will be damaged; when exploding your HE on the armor, the splash damage is distributed by the standard rules of splash damage.
I'm not sure how much that effects things too, but i'd guess id would be more damage from missed arty shots that splash onto the tracks.
This might or might not effect hitting tracks.
- Increased normalization effect when shell penetration value is twice as much as armor thickness value or more.
Etc.. It all adds up to more shots on the tracks...
To decrease tracking they could increase hit-points to the tracks.
Or take another approach and make the repair kits a bit cheaper, Like 2k (or 1.5k) each, and allow you to carry as many of them as you wanted to.
Or as RizlaKing suggested, perhaps a track skirting as a equipment item with a extra 4th equipment slot to put it in..
Or Something...

Tanitha: By the time I sold my last tank, I had learnt!..
I took the crew out. I removed all the modules from it.. But then I left equipment like binocs and cammo net on there, DOH..
Yes please, A warning would be very nice..

Tanitha: I agree, A draw shuold be a bit better than a loss, but not too much so it encourages people to win.
+10% for a draw sounds perfect to me.

MrVic: Nope they have the same as us.

Tanitha: Yeah no warping means people can manual aim, zoom and snipe at a distance.

Overlord: Yup, it was. My personal congratulations to the winners. You have performed really well.
And your SPG-guys have been awesome throughout the tournament.

MrVic: Might have to add some more Aussie players then Actually gamed with aussies for a long time and miss not playing with more these days

Overlord:
1. At first voice chats will be avilable only within platoons and companies.

2. Definitely not in the first version.

3. Potentially it can. We have already done some optimiztion to minimize its impact. Test version of voice chat will be added in the upcoming 0.6.2 update.

4. Push-to-talk button will be an option, but will be added a bit later.

Overlord: We all would like to find out what perfect balance is. Perhaps, you can give your expert opinion.

Overlord: You're right! Thats obviously nonsense   Besides that, Wargaming is not Russian company. Pardon me if i'am mistaken.
Moreover, I'd put it that way: it's really ridiculous to screw the balance in game for national pride of the major part of player database (Russian player database), since the developers are not Russians (at least 90% of us).

Overlord:

Overlord: Only tier 7-10 US Heavy Tanks armor is bugged and this obviously should be fixed. Another changes like: traverse speed, turret rotation and guns accuracy are not bugged but probably will be "nerfed". As devs stated nothing is certain atm.
US Medium Tanks guns are weak. Low damage, poor accuracy and decent penetration. Moreover, US medium tanks are at best average. As Overlord stated before in this topic they will (probably) nerf US Medium Tanks guns.
Did I say that? We are not going to nerf US mediums. No nerf is needed for them.
If you are speaking about guns adjustment, it's not a nerf, and it hasn't been confirmed yet.

Overlord:

MrVic: Then I will send three submissions: my kind of article (The adventures of a Loltraktor, In-game radiofeed and the webcomic itself)
Thank you for the answer.
Cool ya sounds great, going to work towards a Thursday update to the news letter, tho might take me a few weeks to get that going on schedule. Looking forward to checking them out

MrVic: As far as I know with the soft wipe with the EU>NA cluster split its early mid December time frame. Any details as to bonus gold or things of that nature is still to be determined once were closer.
Devs are working hard on getting things setup for it, so more details are still in flux for now. Once we have more details we'll get them posted asap.
Right now I figure we can expect a credit refund for tanks and modules we have currnetly and a exp refund out our tanks. Beyond that we'll have to wait a bit more to see.

MrVic: Probably as a image, basically limited right now to the formating options on a post
Webcomic would be really cool tho for sure.
Theme pretty much anything, going to see what folks come up with, prefer it to be their ideas over mine.

MrVic: Put something together and PM it to me for next weeks Newsletter then after a submission or 2 you can get on the writing staff

MrVic: American tanks (first wave of them) are in and in testing. More to be added still. But as a faction whole the French tanks will be worked on next, while the other exsisting trees will see additions to them as well.

MrVic: Red percentages means they are moved but not trained to that tank. Also they will not gain exp until trained for that tank. So you need to open the crew members profile and retrain, there will be 3 options for gold/creds/free and depending on the choice will affect how much Exp they gain or retain ect.
Tank skins , there should be a guide in the Creativity section on tanks skins
Hope that helps

MrVic: Not that I know of, but it looks they will have it ping both servers so you have your latency info
