WG Stream QA

Source: world_of_ru: [UPD 22:21 (

Hello everyone,

Russians had today a stream with some community members and leadership, including Evilly and some developers. Here is the info, as summed up by Maiorboltach (RU server).

- exclusive tanks will go primarily to clans. Random battle players will get exclusive tanks via missions similiar to the current IS-6 one (eg. heavy grind)
- IS-6 won’t get a penetration buff
- unification of two accounts won’t be implemented
- next patch will not be 9.0, but 8.11 – it will contain UI features, such as disabling the chat
- historical battles: the battle of Prokhorovka and the battles around Lake Balaton are planned (in the first wave). There will be the respawn mechanism and there will be non-equal balance (for example one team has 7 tanks and the other has 30). At first, there will be the same maps as there are currently in game, but eventually there will be maps made exclusively for historical battles
- when logging on the test server, you won’t have all premium tanks at your disposal in your garage, you’ll have to buy them like it was until now
- garage battles will be in WoWp
- it’s possible garage battles as a separate game mode will appear in WoT
- T-44-85 will come in 8.11
- newbies have a special MM now: for 20 first battles, newbies play only with other newbies (SS: eg. not sealclubbers)
- there will most likely be new premium tier 8 tanks
- small machineguns will not shoot in the game
- T95 will not recieve a speed buff
- Chaffee branch prolongement won’t be in the next patch
- Italian branch will not be a separate tree, it will be a part of the EU tree
- there will be a new game mode for clans in 2014
- there will be a possibility to choose map in “clan battles†(??? probably meant Team battles) soon
- there will not be a separate server for noobs
- very soon there will be a WoT Blitz stream
- Mac OS WoT client is being worked on, it will be available soon, currently it’s being tested internally
- T95E6 will be a reward for Clans with 90 percent probability
- WG is experimenting with night battles, currently, there is a new system of spotting and visibility being tested internally
- WoT XboX will be released in the beginning of 2014

 

Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by EU player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record"


- Q: “What’s the point of waiting for the start of the battle for 2 minutes?†A: “a) putting a team together b) loading of the map for those, who have worse computer than youâ€
- responsibility of clans for the behavior of their members won’t be implemented (SS: as in, automatically punishing the clan is a member misbehaves)
- apparently the current aiming system is sufficient for the game (SS: some player was asking about more complicated system, like non-linear aiming times over distances)
- there was no hidden vehicle nerf (SS: in 8.10 apparently)
- there was actually a TD based on the IS-4 hull planned, there was also a TD planned on the WZ-111 hull (not 113 though)
- 122mm HE shells from D-25 do less HE damage than 120mm US shells because of the “construction of the shell†(SS: this is probably true – when researching various guns, one of the data required is the amount of filling of the HE shells, which probably means this is taken into account)
- generally, SerB is satisfied with the way HE shells work
- there is no turret armor behind the IS-4 mantlet
- it’s possible that when the multiturret mechanism is implemented, you will be able to fire with the high caliber machineguns (like the 12,7mm AAMG on the top of some vehicles for example), but SerB adds that it will do you little good

 

Haha, now I can bounce even for shells off opponents using my M48

 

T95E6 will be reward tank?

That's a let down.

 

That Td seems like a blast to play

 

My wife played one game, said it was stupid and never played again. Haha

 

Haha Ufbre, so true.
It seems like too many "fake" vehicles are coming out which lessens the historical nature of the game. I started playing WoT because of the WWII vehicles...

 

Would be more realistic

 

Didn't realize how old this thread was at first and I thought Fox ws back...

Tournament Training
Tournament Training | eSports | World of Tanks

The World of Tanks eSports scene is huge, not only in other parts of the world, but also in Europe. Great proof of that is the tens of thousands of players who participate in our tournaments. At first glance eSports players are often considered to be an elitist club, that is however not the case.

We’ve created this section to help you join the eSports community. Very often, the main thing we encounter on the forums is the statement that there is no way to practice the classic 7 vs. 7, 42 tier-point mode with others without participating in tournaments. That statement is not true and below you can find a few ways of training in preparation for the real deal!




Team Battles

The easiest way to find opponents for the mode is using the Team Battle mode. This game mode has been introduced with the 8.9 patch, also known as “Armored Spearheadâ€. The instructions on how to use the mode and where to find it using the UI are all explained in detail in the above video, as well as in the article.
Team Battle. New Game Mode - YouTube
The benefits of using this mode for eSports training purposes are numerous:

Easy access – Anyone can create his or her own team or join a team made by the system. This allows you to easily get accustomed to the new game mode without the need to fully understand the subtle nuances of 7 vs. 7 battles.
No direct, big consequences of failure – In the Team Battle mode, losing just makes you go into another battle and continue fighting. You don’t have to wait days or weeks for another tournament. In this mode you have an endless supply of enemies!
Progression – The matchmaker system is designed so that you face more and more challenging enemies over time. As you get better, you will be put up against enemies who are also more successful. This way you get better, but at the same time you don’t get seal-clubbed all the time by experienced players creating “newbie accountsâ€, as they will also quickly move up the “ladderâ€.
Good rewards – The system is very rewarding for players who win a lot. That’s a great incentive for improvement! The rewards are noticeably better than in random battles for the winners, but on the other hand far worse in case of failure.
Once you can perform well in the Team Battle mode, you’ll have a far better chance in tournaments like Go4WoT or A-Series, as well as our Wargaming.net tournaments, such as the Easy 8 Pro Series.

Sparring Matches

You can also try scheduling a match with other teams on your own. Sparring matches are a very common practice amongst good eSports teams. The teams’ captains talk, set a date and time, and later create a training room for both teams to join. It’s not as easy to get the best teams to play against you but if you’re good, we’re pretty sure it won’t be a problem! Please keep in mind that usually a certain dose of reputation will be needed for a WGL or other good team to accept an invite to such a sparring match from your team.

Facing the desired opponent – No luck here, you’re fighting one on one with the team you set the date with. As there is no randomness in picking the opponent, you can also create special tactics to counter theirs later when you meet them in big tournaments.Although there are certain drawbacks to this solution, it’s also very rewarding for the participants:

Fighting with the best makes you one of the best – Not wasting time with mediocre opponents means that you improve far faster yourself!
In other words, if you can make this happen, it’s a great deal! Sadly, in training rooms you do not earn any credits or experience, which makes it less of a good deal for growing teams who still need to spend a lot of time and credits researching more tanks to use in tournaments. There is, however, no better training than playing against the best! Even if you lose, you learn something!

Observation and Analysis

The last but definitely not least method of improving your skills is observing and analysing other teams’ play. Every WGL match day, as well as the finals of all major Wargaming.net tournaments, are live streamed.

To keep up to date with all the live streams, it’s a good idea to check out the Tournament section of the portal regularly, as well as follow our eSports Twitter feed. Those two sources should keep you hooked into all the eSports you’ll need to become a real 7 vs. 7 champion!Please keep in mind that Wargaming Europe isn’t the only streaming entity! A lot of great teams stream their Team Battles regularly. If you’re in the mood to look for a good stream, just check out the World of Tanks section on twitch.tv and tune in!


That’s all the basics right there. Enjoy the Team Battles, find your sparring partners and watch the streams!

Now that is a bummer

 

Haha Ufbre, I see power corrupts...

 

well i have put a smile at the end of it

 

Womens are weird creatures. XD

 

How historical are they you can see in this article.

How historical is the upcoming 8.9 line? | For The Record

But its not just the germans there are many fake tanks in all trees.

Ps. There are many very good articles on that blog.

 

Its a bit stupid that JgTiger will be able to kill any tank with 2,3 shells and you will have to shot and pen him 15-20 times if you play T-34.
