merig00: 10% nerf to accuracy. It's all in the changelog

merig00: That's what I am trying to figure out. I've never heard of an error message for not detecting the 3.5mm auxiliary jack.

merig00: "sound card inexplicably stopped detecting my speakers plugged into the audio jack"
And by that you mean you are not getting any sound? Or you actually get some kind of error?

merig00: Yes. We know. Everyone knows. Please read forum before posting.

ARGO: What still amazes me is when you beat a tank to 1% and he can still shoot and move as good as you, My only guess is the that either that 1% working part is the gun trigger or he must be using gorilla glue to hold his tank together!

ARGO: How many times have you been in a battle and admired the vehicle that just killed you? I have seen it 1,000 times, Players saying things like: "Those T-44s are amazing and overpowered, nothing can touch them, I am gonn get me one of those" Sound familiar? Then you work your butt off getting that tank only to find that yout still losing just as much as you did before and the only difference is that you now unhappy and out 90,000 exp and a boat load of creds....
So how come the tank looked like God when the other guy had it? Ever been there?
Well, theres an old proverb, The grass is always greener on the other side....
This thread has been created for the benifit of the newcomers to aid them in the decision making process. I would love to have all of those senior members to post about all the good and bad things regarding their tanks. Be honest and truthful in your replies so as to give people an idea of what they should expect when chasing the upper tier dream tank.....
Thank you.

ARGO: They could even make them consumables, at least they would serve a better function than those torsion bars that do not have a function thats as useful as skirts.

MrVic: That's a game engine upgrade in .6 we'll see it soon. That will be a large patch

MrVic: 5.5 should hit today.

ARGO: Simple, travel in a pack, hide in a pack, when T-44 comes, form a wagonwheel "all TDs butt to butt" and no matter where he drives, he's dead. He can't get you all if you stick together...

Overlord: Game servers are to be stopped in no time. The update is ready to be released.

UPD: 0.5.5.1 update has been released.

ARGO: Wow, I am liking some of these stories...good show sirs.

ARGO: TDs are good people, big help when played right.

ARGO: There is actually a post I made regarding PUTTS, thank you for the praise.

ARGO: I have such great map ideas and I would love to see life breathed into one of them. I hope they like the contest idea.

ARGO: It's rather sad what some people call fun, Shooting team mates to stop the clock is a low class tactic.

ARGO: Very glad to hear it, I hope it comes soon....

ARGO: Seems like most players would rather defend, Always a good strategy in my book.

Overlord: That one will be fixed.

Discussion thread.

MrVic: Its actually not locked but that section requires 50 posts minimum to post in. This was done to limit the spam of repeat topics hourly.
Locking this one now since its answered Also posting threads such as this are not a good way to inquire about these issues. If you feel something that is not a repeat or posted in the wrong area is locked and should not be. Feel free to send me a PM regarding it.

MrVic: There is a few posts detailing them. Its a smart system As we go it will get fine tuned more and more. Also players can send in reports to help ensure we get the problematic folks

MrVic: Tech side. The shorter barrel limits the ending velocity, due to less distance the round travels with the full pressure of the gas expansion behind it. Germany added a improved muzzle break in design but in the end it did not boost armor penetration force by much. Tho the HE componet of the AP shell remained pretty much the same. So the dmg is comparable

MrVic: Still waiting for someone to answer Sykotic's question...
Thanks
Not sure on te frame for that sadly. With the rapid work on .6 it's been hard to find where it stands. Hopefully find out more soon.

MrVic:

ARGO: Welcome to WoT, Where the rules don't bend and fun never ends.

ARGO: No worries dog, Nothing wrong with suggested tactics, it's that "You go here! You go there! Hey moron Why are you sitting there!" Guy I am talking about.

MrVic: Starfire: I misspoke there test as in controlled internal client. Having the server go down for days would cause more complaints then we have now

MrVic: Nah 5.5 delay is unfortunate but their improving sync up. A lot was involved with the delay. Much of it was dividers long ago. Regardless it should be corrected in the future.
To repose the .6x part it's a very short term test in preparation for main server patching. Mainly to avoid past problems where RU server was down die to past problems with patches

ARGO: Yes P.U.T.T.S "Premature Upper Tank Tier Syndrome" is a disease that can strike any WoT player but usually hits the newcomers mostly, P.U.T.T.S is caused by the players mad rush through the tank tiers to get to a upper tier tank only to find that he/she cannot afford to run it or has learned the needed skills through the lower tanks to handle it. Yes it's sad to see when the stricken player becomes so upset because they did not take the time to learn the lower tiers and appreciate how the tanks work then they fly right up to a superheavy and get owned badly because they thought that upper tier means "invincible". P.U.T.T.S is the first stage of this which can eventually lead to greifing and then TKing. You can tell if someone has P.U.T.T.S because they have a bloated attitude and ego thinking that they are General Patton himself barking orders all over the battlefield and rushing repeatedly headlong into certain death then sit in their now burning hulks blaming all the other players for their loss. Luckly there is hope for these arm chair Generals.
How do you cure P.U.T.T.S?
Simple, Take time to learn about each tank on your path up the tree, Get knowledge from senior players and ask for help. Practice good sportsmanship and be helpful to your team mates. Communicate to your arty and other teams to see what the basic plan is. Never run away and leave your team mates to get mauled or sit there and watch. In short, Work smarter not harder.
Remember the 3 basic rules: We plan together, We fight together, We win or die together.
After all, No one likes to play with someone who acts like a putts......
