Im in the closed beta.
Its good fun, even if I keep going broke researching stuff, so I barely afford to go to battles with ammo ;)
-
I could still apply for the closed beta, so I did :)
-
Logged on for a quick battle (do one a day and you get "paid" 150 "gold", which you can convert into credits to buy research, crews, ammo etc), and 3hrs disappeared.
Its quite addictive.
Will be fun when the UK & US WWII tanks are added in. Although am having fun skilling down the german line right now.
-
What name are u using old chap.
Im in the EU closed Beta as well. (its the only game im playing at present. Don't have time for anything else).
Im using the name Dekurgan and ull currently find me driving one of the following (in order of most used first).
1. VK3601(H) ;D
2.PzVI Tiger I :'(
3. 38(T) Grille :-\
4. StuGIII :(
Im usually only on for a short while each day (as work allows ::) )
but ill there somewhere ;D

Don't use the gold for credits. Saving it up for a few days and get either the 24hr premium or a weeks worth. Makes a huge difference when using Tanks like the Tiger or higher.
-
Realised that and am now hoarding.
Im using MangalaSolaris
And just run around in a PzKpfw II at the moment, while I get research done and save credits (good I make more than my repairs cost) for bigger toys.
-
If ur running around in the recruit area on a german tank then the best one to use for making credit quickly is the arty believe it or not.
Oh and dont forget to take ur crew out of the tank before u sell it. Alot of people forget and lose all that experience. (ive done it myself doh! ::) )

Battle chat - and general chat itself - shows off how many eve players are in this thing. Not just chat, but even names I recognise, alliance/corp tags etc.
Its heaving with eve players.

you realize this part of the forum is public, right? (it is, isnt it?)

Doesnt bother me, cant do anything in a channel other than join or speak.
its also temporary until they add in clans/groups at some stage.

i suck !!!!
enter game, move forward fire a few shots , get a few hits in, kill nothing, i die.

I was like that for a while - hell still am at times.
Good thing with the 2 starter tanks, no repair costs.
If you spot people, even scratch another tank etc you get exp and credits. Spend some time learning the maps as you (randomly) play them and so on, learn the best places to race to get spots in even a few shots, yes you'll die, but if by spotting you cause arty to get a kill in, you get bonus exp there too, as does your commander get some experience also.
-
got my first 2 kills in my starter tabk, and in the same game.
I hid in some trees and just picked off at max range ;)
-
Hmm, guess I'll see if I can get a beta key as well then :P (and play for 15min a week or whatever time eve wont' drain hehe)
-
i like this game, its simple, fun, and ftp, so no hassles for time etc, even the battles where i die quickly, i just bail out and join another battle with another tank :D
-

15mins an evening can be enough for 2 or 3 battles early on tbh :)

yeah, works really well -> no wait - where the normal way (WoT-site) seems to take days at least
-
first of all DON'T PANIC
1. join recruit battle
2. stay behind, always move
3. right click on enemy tank and you'll automatically target it
4. left click
5. ????
6. grind through battles and research/upgrade your stuff
7. always keep some spare moneyz for repairs and ammo
8. repeat 1-7
9. get the bison and join standard battles
10. finish off heavy tanks in your shitty noob tank
-
Right click??
Hmm I was rightclicking to use my ranging machinegun :( didn't work....
(I'm too used to bf tanks)

Also remember that the higher the training your crew gets the nearer it will get to the top loading and firing speed of your weapons, the nearer its max possible speed and agility and the more accurate its shooting will become (using auto target). After 90% you really notice the difference.
-
Im getting my nub tanks crews maxed just for lulz while waiting for standard battles on my panzer to finish.
Doing really well, averaging 3 kills a battle now in either the MS or the leich.
-
Somehow I do much better in the leicht than the MS, dunno why.
Or mebbe just a feeling, havent looked at stats recently
(edit: damage ratio twice as high for leicht, average xp x 1.5)
-
Ive maxed my PzVI Tiger I for gear and crew and have left it in storage now as its damn expensive to run :'(
I use my VK3601(H) for credit grinding. Its as tough as old boots and its upkeep isnt to bad. Also the 88mm canon it uses is nice for penetration and damage.
Im now training my way down the russian medium line. I really really want a T44. having come up against them a number of times i can confirm the rock in speed , agility, toughness and firepower. much much better than the Panther.

How on earth did you get all that xp so fast? ???
-
by saving up the free gold they've been giving us until i could afford a week at premium. In my Tiger in a good game using premium i could make btwn 1k - 2k exp and 30k credit. So it racks up fairly quickly.
Ive attached a couple of screen shots.
One of my Tiger before its crew was fully trained, and the other showing a game we won where i only got 4 kills (but survived the match intact) whilst using premium. As you can see i still got 1700 exp and 30k credit for less than 10 mins work. ;D
-
The game seems quite amusing at times :)
At least was first time i tried it after having downloaded and installed it.
Yesterday it was unplayable :(
Felt like the computer was dying or something. Lag or stuttering was horrific. Took 1-2 MIN! before movement happend on the screen. Other tanks jerked all over the place.
Which is weird since i reduced settings to low etc and the first time i was running it on med at the same time as I had a eve client up...
Ah well, hope it was temporary and works next time.
-
They keep mucking around with the server settings. Apparently they are going to be making changes to it so that it uses less system and gpu memory. Was it one particular map you had issues with because i get issues on only one map like that.
Ive only been playing it on my lappy which isnt the highest spec so i have all settings at minimum myself (cant be arsed to get my desk top out of the loft and set it up ::) )

Tried several times, think I was on 3 different maps (not 100% though).
Doubt it was system memory, have 4gb and had killed almost everything in the background... Could be my gpu i suppose... 512mb on it iirc.
-
I was getting similar on Lakeville yesterday.
And people in chat out of battle were mentioning similar on random maps all day, so wouldnt surprise me if its server side stuff the mad russians are up to.
Oh and I wants a HEAVY tank. Saw a few yesterday and WOWEE am I impressed.
My biggest gripe with WoT is the 15 v 15, I want larger battles, dont get me wrong 30 in a game can still be epic, but I want a Kursk!!!
-
This also needs to be the WoT soundtrack:

There will be in the final release. They are talking about some maps being 4x the size of current maps and having 30 v 30 or maybe even more (depends if they can tweak the 'Bigworld' software to allow for it. One of the current issues is the 'teleporting tanks' at distances across the map. Hopefully they'll get it sorted as I kind of like the game. Its a little more involved than just a shootem up but still allows for you to just play for a few mins here and there. This kind of works for me with my usual lack of time for much. ::)

Saf killed me :(
Ps mac ya scrub, join our channel!

Something im wondering about auto-aim, does it seem to anyone else that when you use it (if you do), all your shots just seem to go to the enemies turret?
Rather than anywhere else on the tank?

Victory!
Battle: Prohorovka vrijdag 6 augustus 2010 20:40:35
Tank: BT-2
Earned:
771 Experience
4.514 Credits
great (recruits) battle in my BT-2
talking about bt's, is the bt-7 any good? seems to be fastest tank on the field (70+ kph)
bit pricey though, at 90k
-
Dekurgan (23:20:44) and lvl of training on crew make a huge difference. don't forget to take out the crew before u sell a tank. u only lose a little experience re-training them for a new tank and its easier than starting from scratch again]
-
uhm, how on earth do you get SPG back out of that birdflight view... I was getting shot and and didnt know how to get out of it, so I just pressed some buttons and survived... ;)
-
pressing F1 in game gives u your controls list.
Getting it out of birdeye view i tend to use the mouse zoom wheel. I do believe you can use the page up and down keys as well if u dont have a wheel mouse.

Havent heard much about Bt-7's - but the BT2 seems loved:
bt-2 = tech 2 nanofibres
It's like a goddamn Vagabond.
BT-2 with 100% + crew represent, god dam love the tank when everything starts to seem grindy and the KV is pissing me off I just jump into my BT-2 and rape face.
As a minnie pilot im sure you can appreciate that.
I know I enjoy zipping about in my BT-2, while whoring credits to progress down the german line.
-
yeah, for now BT-2 > all.
it's pretty frustrating to have to earn xp in a light tank in standard battles to get to mediums tbh
and yeah, as I said in game to someone: light tanks = frigs vs. medium/heavy = BC/BS
and I love frigs ;D
just not vs BSs
-
For pure enjoyment in my books you can't beat a fully upgraded VK3601(H) with 110% crew (half trained in firefighting and half in repair) oh and fitted with a tool box and anti fragmentation liner. oh and of course its fitted with 88mm of pure power ;D
Its fast for its size, it hits above its weight everyone in the same class (excluding KV3) fear it and quite rghtly so.
And if you can catch a Tiger or IS in the open and circle it on the flat at top speed u can outrun their turret circling whilst peppering them with AP shells.
No matter what else ive bought, I'd never ever sell this baby. 8)

first images of the clan war map
http://game.worldoftanks.com/media/uploads/clan_wars_sketch.jpg
looks awesome i must say, they are starting with a small area available expanding as needed to encompass the whole world.
-
Nice, and if they add the rest of the world eventually, then there does seem plenty to do.
Ive seen pictures (somewhere) of the entrie tank lines, and wowee thats alot of work too :D

http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/5356-mrvics-breyd1971s-state-of-the-beta/
Quote:
1) Tiered Battles, There is a new system coming in the next patch that reassess battles make ups and pairs tanks up more evenly and also keeps tanks of like tiers together.
2) Groups joining matches. In the coming patch you will see the ability to create small groups and enter matches together. Groups are 2-3 players and one player in the group must have premium active.
3) Module Damage. (Engine hits, crew death ect) This is a known area of concern and is being adjusted in the coming patch
4) HE ammo. HE rounds are being adjusted in the coming patch.
5) Cover/Camo System. Vanishing tanks at weird ranges. This is a known issue and has been worked on and the solution is being worked on and is coming. Some of the cover and hiding mechanics do funny things at times.
6) US tanks. We should see the first round of them in game probably a short while after the next patch.
7) Will their be a Full wipe at release? Yes at retail release we should expect a full wipe.
8) Soft Wipe There should be a soft wipe coming but not sure exactly when due to the fast pace WoT is progressing. (Typically a soft wipe is a refund of all exp earned and converted to free exp. Sometimes there is a small reduction on the overall exp it varies on the goal for testing. Also typically your full value of all Tanks/Modules/Ammo are refunded to you to reinvest with the free exp. Crews are lost. Premium accounts running sometimes can be either persevered or lost. Gold carried over? not sure usually we are warned if we are to lose it or its converted to credits and given to use in that form. These are all subject to change based on the form the wipe takes. More details will be finalized prior to a soft wipe.)
9) Armor pen vs Armor. Changes to the HE ammo and Damage models should effect this in the next patch.
10) US Server, We should see a server in the US in the not to far future. So many of those worrying over pings this will help.
11) Warping tanks at range. Known issue and its part ping and part game engine issue that is known and being worked on.
12) Bots/AFKers, There is a large known list, They are not going unnoticed. A system is in the works that will assess and deal with these players rapidly. For now we deal with them and I suspect their being used as testing guinea pigs for the new systems. In other words, the more they logon, the more we get to know what they do, what methods they use, the better we can combat them during release.
13) Tanks of the Future! Plans are in place for many more tanks from many nations British, Japanese, French... and perhaps some more
14) New maps! We will see 2 maps in the next patch. Also WoT team plans to start pumping out new maps 1-2 new maps every 1-2 weeks after the patch!
15) Clanwars! More information is coming and the expected time to see it, We are not sure, (sorry best we got) All we have on the clanwars is HERE
16) Release date! Word is they are on shedule for an October (?) release. But this is NOT a hard date (Fall 2010, more accurate). In the end it will be released when its ready. We have lots of fun toys coming to play with before then. It comes when its comes but we got a good bit of testing to do first!
17) Smoke rounds ect. Currently they are not in the works at a later date we may see them. For now we have to fight with lead and sweat not smoke and mirrors
18) Tankopedia Its in the works but a guide providing information on the tanks in the game. (always good to find the weak spots in your enemies armor)
19) More game modes! More game modes are in the works details of what all they have planned are not out yet. Clanwars and Nation based we should see in addition to others
20) Infantry and other support weapons ect. Right now they are not going to be in game. Suggestions are being considered and for future release considered.
21) If you read this far then you deserve a break, Sit back and enjoy this in game tip: Tip99 (read it now..rumor is it's going to be "fixed" in the patch)
22) Tank Skins. Currently you can play with your tank skin but it only shows up to your game. In the future there will be more tank skins added that are global to all players and we think more options for them will be coming. Details soon we bet.
-
8) Soft Wipe There should be a soft wipe coming but not sure exactly when due to the fast pace WoT is progressing. (Typically a soft wipe is a refund of all exp earned and converted to free exp. Sometimes there is a small reduction on the overall exp it varies on the goal for testing. Also typically your full value of all Tanks/Modules/Ammo are refunded to you to reinvest with the free exp.

Gold carried over? not sure usually we are warned if we are to lose it or its converted to credits and given to use in that form. These are all subject to change based on the form the wipe takes. More details will be finalized prior to a soft wipe.)
Soft wipe? I hope they reconsider this and make sure everyone starts at 0. =/

You play and dont have much time to earn etc? (I kinda agree though :D)

Despite work and family getting in the way of my Gaming life ;) i am now the proud owner of a King Tiger. And damn what a different beast that is to the Tiger I. I can take damage without doing a BBQ impression and dish it out in a awsome way with the second 105mm canon thats available for it. I R BIG and BEASTLY :D

We are planning some big updates for the World of Tanks closed beta, which will include launching new game servers in North America and delivering a fresh patch containing new game features. To make sure everything works well, we will halt the game servers from 9 a.m. GMT August 26 till September 1.
On September 1, we will be on air again with all the players connected to the American servers. Several days after that, the new 0.5 patch will be rolled out with several new features, which are:
* Squad fights. A squad will include 2 to 3 people and will allow players to invite their friends and join a random battle as a single fighting unit, which will help them coordinate their actions and maneuvers.
* Additional modules. Install rammers and increase your firing rate, take suspension stiffeners and improve your tank’s tonnage, decrease visibility by installing a camouflage net, choose between dozens of upgrades that differ depending on a tank model you choose.
* Crew kits. Equip you tank crew with fire extinguishers, repair kits, first-aid sets and other elements, with each of them providing extra help in battles.
With the new patch rolled out, all beta testers will get 5000 gold each to test the new game features. The patch will be followed by a “light” wipe when the players will go back to tier 1 tanks, but all the experience they have earned will be converted into free experience which they will be able to use at their leisure. All credits will remain as well, and losing all the tanks, modules, and shells will be compensated by corresponding amount of credits spent on buying them. If a player had a premium tank or shells, compensation will be arranged in respectful amount of gold.
Stay tuned, we’ll be informing you on all major events on World of Tanks.

Unfair. Although I had put off getting a Panzer III until the soft reset hit and was just grinding cash/exp instead.

Update:
The restart of WOT closed beta is scheduled for September 1, 2010. The beta will restart with old 0.4.5 version and will be patched to 0.5.4.1 in a few days.
The update will contain the consecutive general updates 0.5 , 0.5.1 , 0.5.2 and 0.5.3.
Updating our game servers to 0.5.4 version will require “soft” reset/wipe user accounts. The details of this reset have been described here and here.
There are some more of them:
1) 5000 gold will be assigned as soon as the beta restarts, i.e. before the wipe and the 0.5.4.1 update
2) Your premium accounts will be extended (those which were active when the servers had been shut down). I.e. if you had 2 more days of premium, you will get 2 day of premium when the beta restarts.
3) 3000 gold will be added to your account after the wipe as a refund for your crews.
4) The other wipe details stay the same.

New Patch out.
Lots of gold and exp to burn.

So... you play a tank?
Omg tank minstrel. How awesome would that be.
-
Now in my garage.
1. IS4 fully upgraded
2. JagPanther fully upgraded
3. Panther fully upgraded
4. VK3601(H) fully upgraded.
Oh and 1 month of premium ;D
-
Saf pointed me to this thread, just wanted you to know that i am also in :D
-
Having now tried out both heavy lines as far as the IS7 on Russian side and Maus on German side im now qualified to say the following.
I LOVE MY IS.
Ive got rid of all my high teir heavys and kept my IS with the 122mm cannon, ive added a rammer, spall liner and Binocs (10% extra view range) and it rocks. even when i lose i rarely make a loss. With premium i make a good profit on most games.
Attached is an average example of what I make per game now. Dam fine fun ;D
WIth the 122 u can damage most things with a hit. I get very few bounces using manual aim and some quite supprising results.
I hit an IS7 in the side armour yesterday, set him on fire and blew him up in 1 shot..
