merig00: Because of the capital letters SS

Overlord:
Teams will be playing against teams only. They won't oppose random groups of 15 players.

Overlord:
Ehm.... didn't get the essence of the point ...

Overlord:
7 teams on the German vehicles and 9 on the Soviet ones left.

Having seen almost all the matches I must say that organization and cooperation are the decisive factor, not the vehicle list itself. When some teams had to start "shorthanded", 4 of them on the German tanks !, balance discussion seems to be premature.

Czechoslovakia won. They had a huge advantage and the judges gave the win to them.

Overlord: Last 32 / 1/16 final round is over. My personal congratulations to the winners!

Overlord: There was no rules violation. Read the regulations carefully once again.

Overlord: Semifinals and finals consist of at least two games. Qualifiers (first 3 rounds) have one game only.

ARGO: Here is a link to an old post I had made regarding new players. It is not only good practice for vetran players, it is also a reminder to the new guys as they go up the tiers. I think this post reflects one of the most important unwritten rules in any game. Remembering where you came from....

ARGO: Now thats a GUN RACK!

Overlord:
You should, and you will. But we can't skip our internal test stage. The majority of critical bugs are fixed due to it.

MrVic: I will send out charter and application stuff tonight At work ATM

ARGO: Shaving without an electric razor is a bad idea in a tank...

MrVic: Refer to tip 999

MrVic: Refer to tip 999

MrVic: Refer to tip 999

ARGO: Place whatever funny things you can come up with here...I will begin with this little jewel....
Never EVER get into a tank with a rusty hatch after a big franks & beans dinner.

merig00: 1-2 you get the approximately the same experience plus some minor additions for critical hits
3 experience is given to whoever was "lighting up" the enemy for the 10-15 secs before the kill

Overlord:
Yes we did, and we are satisfied with the vehicle test results. But there are some things to test: new maps, team mode and general performance of the game after the update.

ARGO: Simply ask devs to add a feature called "put me in Malnovka (Campnovka)" maps only" and you can spend all day in a battle....

ARGO: I wish they would have a contest or something where the players could design a new map for the game and have them pick the best one.

ARGO: Last night I was in Prokhorovka and I was defending, I was hiding in a bush and now in full snipe mode waiting for an enemy, my wait was not long. A Leopard was speeding into the base on my left side and I swung my cannon as fast as I could it locked I fired and BOOM!!! "You just shot your team mate" Oh nice I though but where was he? didn't take me long to see that an arty had snuggled in the same bush right next to me and I was so busy getting ready, I didn't even notice he was there. His names was Bubs59....Sorry dude. I apoplogized and thought they really need to do one of two things to eleiminate this problem so I came up with 2 descent solutions:
1. Remove the lock on feature on friendly tanks "when your aiming the target will not onlyu grab an enemy tank but also a friendly or even a dead tank" This needs to go.
2. If your going to fire on a friendly one of the crew says "Are you sure you wanna shoot an allie?" and stops you so you have to press the fire button twice to override the crew warning.
I think not only will this stop an accidental TK but will also insure if you do get TKed than the person DID do it on purpose..

Jeremy Taylor: Dear szczep83, we'll be in Warsaw on October 11, not November. So if you have time on the 11th of October, we'll be happy to see you.

merig00: Again, disable antivirus, UAC and any other security/safety software. Try installing it in the safe mode

merig00: Are you running Win 7 x64?
Two suggestions
1. Start WoT, pull up Task Manager and assign WoT.exe low priority
2. Assign WoT.exe to the second core
Either one or both should help you. Also several people reported that assigning priority to high helped them, but that was only 2 or 3 people.

merig00: Well it is meant to be an aid not a mean Though on low fps/high ping it would be difficult without the auto-aim.

merig00: There is a reason we have an official SPG discussion post.
Closed.

ARGO: Tip 99
World of Tanks is brought to you in 4 languages: Russian, German, English, and Polish. More languages on the way!

ARGO: maybe it's a girl tank.....

Overlord:
"Warping" fix has become possible due to game engine update. Since v. 0.5.5 is going use the same old version of it, being used now, teleportation fix can only be delivered along with a major v. 0.6.x / 0.7 update

Overlord: Team 20. CHHG (Captain - CHHGJericho) has been replaced for Team 33. Hunyadi (Captain - Reddragon84HUN)

All the amendments have been made.

Overlord:
If speaking about v0.6.x/0.7, then yes, it will. Minor v.0.5.5 update won't include this.

Overlord:
For some time it will be acting as usual single-gun (turret) tank. Later the second gun will be enabled as well.

Overlord:
New equipment has been ordered recently, but it takes some time to assemble, transport, and setup it. So we are not sure of an exact date when EU servers are back.

ARGO: Tip 99 = If you are reading this you are not doing your homework.

If you are reading this, It's time to move out of your mom's basement

When the timer reches zero, all bets are off

What are reading this for, the clocks ticking get ready

When faced by overwhelming odds......RUN!

There is no shame in running away, only in getting caught.

If you can't outgun it, outrun it.

There are two kinds of players here, the quick and the dead so aim carefully.

ARGO: Do you have any real pics of it? also are there any pics of the area and what it looks like today?

ARGO: If your going to snipe, you may want that module that quickens aiming...

merig00: That is still correct

merig00: That is still correct

ARGO: As a former KV driver I must say that I would never have let an IS3 ever get that close to me and even if he did, I would like to see how long he lasted when he gets a 152mm down his gullet....

ARGO: This story is based on observation, I myself am a Leopard killer not a driver. But we can all agree, Leopards wreak havoc and create anarchy on the enemies base until they are killed or leave. BTW, there are many other great scout tanks but this one seems the most plentiful ingame in my opinion...

ARGO: Leopard heading into the base!!!!!!
That one sentence is an artys biggest nightmare, It will make even a Tiger tank race out of it's hiding spot in fear of the on comming rain of death from the enemies arty. This tanks presents alone will bring the attention of every tanks guns to bear and how quickly you kill this dreaded tank will deciede how much of your team will live to even start to battle.
This tank is the Leopard, small, very fast, and carrying a really great radio this tank will light you up or shut your arty right down. If you think this armored pest is an easy kill then try to chase one down because you'll have better luck catching a greased pig. The Leopard can be hailed by most as the ultimate scout. Few tanks have the ability to race into the enemy base hit their arty and survive to tell the tale.
Leopards have speed on thier side so the only way to combat this little thief in the night is to match it one of two ways I have found: With another fast tank to act as hunter/killer at your base or sit and pick these tanks off as they come into the base using sniping skills. Either way, once you see them you need to MOVE!!! because where Leopards go, Arty rain follows...
