MrVic: Keep in mind RU only released due to being in beta a long time, the transactions and server were regional making setup immensely faster and what I personally think are much more forgiving when they encounter issues. In the end setting up world wide services takes A lot more time then regional.

ARGO: For starters I would like to say Greetings and Salutations to all the new Beta testors here in WoT, Welcome. I would also like to say a few things about how happy I am at this new crop of players and how refreshing it is to see them asking questions and trying as best as they can to be of help ingame. I have been in many battles with them now and when in my VK3601 or IS4 I have been bailed out a few times by these new guys from a serious tank mauling because they stick close to the heavies and act as wingmen. I would like as well to offer my assistance to any new player who needs help or advice about playing as I am also sure most other Vet players here will do likewise. As these new player can learn a lot from us older ones, We too can learn a few new tricks from them likewise.
Again, Welcome to you all and I look forward to fighting epic battles with you all.

MrVic: Is shows why many games in beta give out little warning on when their patches might show up and what's in them. People take it as it's owed to them. It's not a case of it's done and their sitting there laughing "let's see how long they freak out over this". Their moving forward as fast as they can.
As for RU getting 5.5 it's 2 maps. And some adjustments. Not a major content patch. This patch was to give is more maps instead of waiting for .6 So in the end they aim to do something nice and we act like their stealing babies RU only got it first since it does not have to be localized and there is not much to test in it. They never wait on maps since long term play is the only way to test them. Back before eu we played on half finished maps .
Now their actually complete when patched over.
As to realize it now. That's where we are heading. They have setup times for server upgrades and marketing, support centers, transaction accounts setup ect ect. These thing are not flip a light switch and done. They are at the whim of scheduling with outside companies. If you go to applebees do you walk in and say I want some wings in 2.12 secs
Well their an outside company in essence and you get your wings when they get done. It really is that simple. There is no magic switch in the game industry, they can accelerate their plans but that doesnt equal instantly done
I have been playing wot since march and lived through only 3 maps for months and myself and everyone at wot hq want to see this game complete before release. While I still want it now I respect them for keeping true to focusing on quality prior us paying for it.
An example we release you get tank crazy a blow 100 bucks then your account gets corrupted and lost. Well since we rushed the speed your issue might be resolved takes weeks since you demanded to play now, instead of waiting for the bugs to be sorted out and the support staff to be fully ready and prepared to assit you fast and effectively. That would suck . Or we give it some time and reap the benefits of a fully setup game that is amazingly fun to play. Personally I can wait a bit longer until what they are making for me is truly ready.

ARGO: For starters there would have been no battle of Midway because Midway was just a rouse to get American carriers. If the US had lost all the ships at Pearl, It would have set the US back a couple of years giving Japan exactly what they needed to do. Set up shop and get sources of oil. Japan "Yamamoto" knew that because of America's industrial power a war with the US was un-winnable in the long run so the stategy was simple, knock out in one blow America's ability to wage war in the pacific long enough to allow Japan to become full seated in the pacific. That being done the US would have had a very very hard time re-taking anything with Japan dug in deep and by two years "or more" having a bigger navy and well fortified islands. My guess is that "Port Morsby" Austrailia may too have fallen.
The one equasion left for the US at this point would be to use many A-bombs "If in your alternate history they still achieved this" rather than risk a long, long, pacific campaign. Either way a much bigger loss of life would be the result.

ARGO: Then your answer is simple.
Leave him there, Go to another bridge to cross. Then as he is being tank raped by the enemy give him a brief and witty critique of your thoughts on his bridge camping tactic and have yourself a good laugh.

MrVic: As in update the original post. With new stuff plans ect. Most of it is covered in the updates section but I like to keep things organized

ARGO: 1st and foremost, NEVER SHOOT YOUR OWN TEAM MATES! No matter what the reason is this is a BAD BAD practice that will always 99.99.9% of the time WILL lead to griefing and team kills and in that case the guy with the legitimate gripe is the one who get the ban hammer and not the jerk in which you mentioned. Aside from that, To answer your query you must first define the following:
Are they truly camping "Sitting around doing nothing"
or
Are the preparing a base defence? "communicating a strategy between team mates and preparing for the first wave of attack".
Camping and base defence get confused a lot in WoT. Some teams tend to be aggressive and roll out, while others stay close to the base and await the enemies scouts to come and be slaughtered thus dwindling their numbers and setting them up for a massive counter strike. Malnovka "Campnovka" is well known for this. There is nothing wrong with running a base defence as long as the players are actually doing something to defend it and communicating with one another, in fact it is a very sound tactic in most cases I believe but again, that is something you need to read into before you deciede what the teams mindset is.
Try this, next time your in a match, let everyone go set up before you do, see what directions if any your teams going in and try to read what they are gonna do then you can base your own move on that. If your alone at the base staring at arty then I suggest you defend them by heading off scouts. If the team is just sitting around and not even helping each other or killing scouts then you will know after the first scout you may be in for a rough ride. In that case, I suggest you defend as best you can until the enemies close then get the hell out of dodge and attempt a ninja cap.
Either way my friend, don't take my words harsh, just take them as friendly help.

Overlord:
That needs some additional testing. Camo net can either work on all the vehicles or not work on all of them.

Overlord:
We don't work directly on the Chinese version of World of Tanks. Our partners in China do. We are fully focused on Russian and International (EU/NA) versions.

Overlord:
Things are a bit vague at the moment. Personally, I think 0.6.x / 0.7 update will arrive in 2-4 weeks.

Overlord:
Check some previous pages, the order of adding new vehicles has already been mentioned.

MrVic: Once we get closer to US tank release I will update it the lists again

MrVic: Also this week I will work to update where we stand on things

merig00: You weren't allowed to post there due to minimum posts requirements. And that is implemented so people would read first before posting. And I'm sorry to say it, but you failed at both.
Devs are planning to introduce recording of the game-play for tactic reviews and general creativity needs of the community

MrVic: Should be 2 new maps only in 5.5 Cliffs and Komarin.

merig00: a. Weight of ammo is insignificant compared to the weight of the tank. NO
b. The only way to reduce chance of ammo explosion is not to load ammo into the tank. So also NO.

merig00: You are correct. The platoons of 3 people comes from the limitation of the matchmaking system due to the small number of players in the closed beta.

merig00: So if I understood correctly you were able to download the installer, but it doesn't start when you click on it?
Disable UAC, Antivirus and any other Windows security measure. Or just simply install it in the Safe Mode.

Overlord:
Why should your pings become even higher? As soon as EU servers are back, the majority of players from Western Europe will be getting low pings, not exceeding 50 or thereabouts.

Overlord:
Alost everything is correct in the above statement. Barring the fact that open beta stage is going to last for 3 months, it will be a short one.

4-6 weeks for US vehicles is upper date / limit. Likely we can deliver them faster.

Once again, it's difficult to say for sure at the moment.

Overlord:
+1 for that. (searching for his dusty banhammer)

Overlord:
Do you mean that they will add European servers, and still have US ones as well?  Or will they have just European servers, and remove the US servers--thus making US players have to play on European servers?

I wasn't quite clear on what you were saying.

US servers are going to stay where they are now. EU cluster will be added to the existing NA one.

Overlord:
5 months? These are nothing but rumours. Testing won't take that long.

Overlord:
Germany? What pings are you having?

Overlord:

Overlord:
Maintenance Works are connected with scheduled expansion of RU cluster capacity. Almost all our services will be unavailable for some time. What we guarantee is that closed beta is going to be playable.

ARGO: Correct, What is there now that can legitimately seperate a Premium from an Elite tank? Well except the Premiums tanks usually are not so hot in their classes.

ARGO: I seriously hope the Devs look into this problem.

ARGO: We were all there too. Once you get into the heavies or the T-43 / 44s you will start putting hurt on other tanks and even bigger ones. Fear not young soldier, your time will come.

ARGO: For me a launch in Q1 of next year means I get to enjoy my hard work up the old tank tree for a bit longer.......YES!!!!!!!

MrVic: If everything goes well, we should see both eu and us located servers online. As overlod mentioned.

ARGO: I have tried most of the IS series guns and am currently working on the fabled S-70 130mm cannon "Finger of God" and I started thinking about how many times I have been down this road with guns. So far the BL9 gun is not what I would call a fantastic gun "It does do great damamge" but it also misses A LOT even close up and comming from a guy who has well over 20+ sniper awards I can tell you I have a lot better luck hitting targets with the D-25 cannon than the BL9. So with that said, Now I am wondering if the S-70 is going to be just a waste of time or will it possibly be a real gamechanger as far as cannons go?

ARGO: #12 is the one with the KV, Prisoner #4 reminds me of a buddy of mine. He got the same temper...

ARGO: There is an old saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention" I beleive wholeheartedly that if man can imagine it, he can create it. That goes for peace as well. Unfortunately though the one flaw in human design is "human nature" We as a race are never satisfied long with things and constantly need to further ourselves "selfishly at times" thus wars are caused and newer things are created to end them quicker. If mankind as a whole put as much energy into trusting each other as we do killing each other I am sure the world as a whole would be vastly different.
But then again, if it were that way, How much fun do you think playing "World of Peace" would be?

Overlord: Correct. Our fault. That will be fixed soon.

Overlord: Removed that line so as not to create misunderstunding.
This applies to US tanks mostly, they are being rebalanced at the moment.

Overlord: We have switched to a new game engine since 0.6 update. Teleporting has been fixed.
As for "compnanies" and "clan version interface" - still in development.

Overlord:
Some content is still to be added. Check http://forum.worldof...post__p__148396 for full list of changes.

0.6.1 is the most recent update, some of the mentioned content has already been introduced in 0.6
