[editline]16th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=SGTenima123;39242968]what should i unlock first for my e 50? The tracks or the turret?[/QUOTE] Do math on how much tonage you're at, and how much you'd be at after you equip the turret. If you're over your weight limit you need the tracks.

I was at friends home today. He was driving his beloved elite S-51. Now,it turned out that nearly the whole team was ToG's and they did the wall position. My friend annihilated them in 8 goddamn shots. Damn ion cannons. And the exact number of the ToG's was 13(how could this happen i don't know,maybe a troll platoon or something).

[QUOTE=SGTenima123;39242968]what should i unlock first for my e 50? The tracks or the turret?[/QUOTE] If i remember correctly you'll need the tracks first. E50 is a bitch to upgrade, but its awesome once you do.

[quote]- Chi-Ha is implemented as a light tank even though "Chi" in Japanese is the designation for medium tanks, because it is generally classified as a light tank - the idea to make World of Tanks came in the last days of 2008, the original "founders" were Petr Bityukov, Slava Makarov, Viktor Kisly and Marat Karpeko - and it took a few months to bring the idea to alpha stage - The equation for repair costs: (HP lost * repair cost for 1 HP) + (module HP lost * repair cost for 1 module HP) - there is no special autoloader module, it counts as a part of the ammo rack module - the peak times lag isn't cause by servers themselves, it is generally caused by the data paths being overloaded (SS: sorry, I don't know the proper IT terminology - SerB means the "wires" or "pathways" that lead the data) - the speed reduction when driving close to rocks, slopes and other objects is realistic, won't be removed - reworking the "expert" archievement? "no comment for now" (SS: the issue was that the devs blamed the expert medal for being a part of the reason for too much arty, as it is generally easier to archieve expert medal with artillery) - the shot (trajectory) calculations are the same in sniper mode and arcade mode, even though the arcade mode seems to "jerk" less when driving over rough terrain - it's the same, just that in the sniper mode it's simply more noticeable, also, devs state that the gun aim circle spread after shooting in sniper mode is NOT bigger than after shooting in arcade mode, just more noticeable - SerB doesn't care about the caricatures of him on the forums - there seems to be no difference between the stock and upgraded Chinese IS-2 turret ("up to you whether you want it or not") (SS: ROF?) [B]- when a tank is destroyed (regularily), it does not mean all modules get destroyed (and counted as repair costs), they only appear so the players don't get confused[/B] - module repair costs are not tied to the module purchase price - barrels of AFK tanks move when you move close in front of them, because the aiming point automatically changes - tracers weren't changed in 0.8.3 - currently, a drowned tank gets all modules destroyed (extra repair costs) in order to deter the drowners - Panzer B2 has the tier 4 MM max and S35 tier 3-5 out of "balance reasons" - there will be a special MM for light tanks too (SS: same amount of LT's in each team) - there is no "ricochetability" (description) parameter planned (SS: the ability of a tank to ricochet a shell), because it's impossible to determine - the Chinese Type 34 is historical and correctly balanced (SS: from what I could gather) [B]- the American R-975-C1 350hp engine will be rebalanced to match the Chinese one from the M5A1 stuart (400hp instead of 350hp, but 16kg more), the whole US M5 Stuart will be rebalanced[/B] - capture points from capping the base apparently count towards the cappers' XP even though the battle is won by destroying all tanks - the Foch 155 autoloader is realistic (SerB argues that it was made even for the FV4005 183mm gun) - M10 Ersatz has German camo for "technical reasons" [B]- the removal of the maps from the random pool for players is really complicated, no decision yet[/B] - the 3 degrees gun depression for Chinese tier 9 and 10 meds is final for now - it's possible Lend-Lease tanks will take part in historical battles - the components of various Stuarts might be a bit modified in order to differ them (and the US from Chinese) - the modules with the same names in Chinese and other nations' tanks differ in properties because they were "produced differently", there are no plans to make Chinese modules compatible with other nations' modules "for technical reasons" - the devs don't see the existence of the bug where the graphics card runs at 100 percent in the hangar - Info about 0.8.4 will be "soon" [B]- there are no plans for new equipment (SS: such as ventilation, rammers etc.)[/B] - some new company formats (apart from the developed 7x42) are not planned (for example limited to odd number tiers)[/quote] Also, the US announcement for that contest is confusing, but XP Earned refers to max XP to a battle.

Finally got Ace mastery for my beloved T71. "Only" dished out 4k damage. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/905304/T71madness.jpg[/img]

How's the front armor on the Caernarvon? What should I get first? I have enough free exp for the turret but it looks like it's going to be a painful stock grind.

[QUOTE=scout1;39243923]How's the front armor on the Caernarvon? What should I get first? I have enough free exp for the turret but it looks like it's going to be a painful stock grind.[/QUOTE] You need to get the tracks, turret and then gun. Its stock mobility is not horrendous. The front armor of the caernarvon is a mixed bag of sort. Upper glacis is 260mm LOS. Lower is only a little over a hundred. Its turret manlet can bounce almost anything, but it doesn't cover all. The most important fact to remember about the caernarvon is it is not a brawler. It can lock down an entire area with the 20 pounder and a good position (as long as the lower hull is covered, it is good), but it will suffer close. It simply does not have the DPM or alpha to scare tanks up close like other tier 8 heavies do. What it does have, in spades, in accuracy, penetration and exceptional dispersion and aim time.

Already saw 3 idiots that wasted shitloads of gold/free xp to get a plastic tierX at day1. Might as well flush your dosh down the toilet.

[QUOTE=scout1;39244787]I should hold onto the type A barrel until I finish the engines, then back to the type B barrel, right?[/QUOTE] This is what I've been doing. The difference doesn't seem great enough to warrant spending the 40 something xp on it versus the engines.

[QUOTE=zom_bie;39244913]Did they get the 121 or the 113? If they got the 113, rip.[/QUOTE] I saw two 121s and one 113.

So basicly Chinese tanks suck? Even lights?

59-16 is funest tank in the tree

Damn, the chinese tanks look cool. My life had just started to get better after I quit playing WoT, but it seems I need to try these new tanks.

All right, another tree to crap out on at tier 6.

Is accelerated crew training broken? I have it on and the past 3 games I have had 750+ xp and the skills have not gone up from 68% in those 3 games

[QUOTE=Crumpet;39246596]Is accelerated crew training broken? I have it on and the past 3 games I have had 750+ xp and the skills have not gone up from 68% in those 3 games[/QUOTE] Right click > view details to see crew member details You should see how much exp they'll need to gain 1% more. Also note that advanced crew training simply doubles the exp earn for one crew member.

Heh, the hate here towards chinese tanks reminds me of the time when the french tanks were being added.
