For now at least.
Anyone who moans about how the crew at HTC handles the "C" word needs to go no further then WOT to see how badly it effects a game. Combine that with the balance issues and limited terrain and
I cant see this one surviving when it goes "live". If you let folks keep all their stuff you'll have a very hard time keeping new subscribers and you sure piss of the current following if you take the toys away.
The apparent volume of "C" related issues is staggering and hopefully they'll get a handle on it. Reminds of the Halo DoD mods at the moment....
-
Its free and I can have a few quick battles in my lunch break at work. I intend to spend a few bucks on it to get myself set up but that will be it. Now, if I had to pay $15.00 a month to play it I would be pissed off.

what is this C word? i am very confused... :headscratch:

WOT = Wide Open Throttle. :rock
Pfffttt ... kids those days ... bequering each other behind computer screens :frown:

Snaphook I agree that when it goes live it needs a full wipe. So all those guys in their IS4's and KV3's will start over again.
To me the biggest problem is in the match making side.
You put a tier 3 tank in with tier 5's, 6's, and 7's guess what happens to the poor 3? Yep he gets slaughtered.
Hit a KV3 13 times in SU-76, 2 did damage, the rest just bounced. Then he finally turns his turret, single shot, poof, I'm toast.
Also rather than banning people for team killing (see a lot of that at times)
They need to do Killshooter like HT figured out.
You shoot someone on your team, you take the damage.
Tanks start in a big pile, and if someone thinks you cut them off, they'll track ya for kicks.
You turn and shoot them back, are unlucky enough to kill them, and your smacked with a TK ban.
Last I think they should double the size of the maps. Then increase "Visual" only sight range.
So if your scoped in on an open field at a half a mile, you'll see a tank move across your view.
But if someone is stationary, hiding behind tree's, then you won't see them.
I think that would slow the gameplay down just enough to give people a chance to communicate, and work together more.
-
There will be hard wipe. IMO I think they'll give the current beta testers something small as a 'reward' for helping them out. Probably just like a prem tank or something...they suck anyway.
-
I take WOT for what it is, a nice small free tank game that allows you to sit down and get a few games in my spare time. Nothing more, if I'm not paying then I'm not complaining.

I'm not complaining at all, in fact I made the same comment along with a lot of ghosts stuff directly to the development team...thats what beta players are supposed to do. The play balance should change for the better
as they refine it. There are a tremendous number of small but cumulative playability issues however. Ghost hit a key one. Inferior tanks had to work hard for close range flanking shots. If they succeeded they had a very very high one shot kill %. This is reflected in the tremendous RL combat records of the US TD battalions. As an example 2 M-10's blunted an entire German attack near St Vith (battle of the bulge) knocking out 7 German tanks (Tigers & Panthers) and breaking up the entire assault. This can't happen in WOT because of the erroneous damage modeling.

More like a facebook game , point and click , point and click ....

LOL you guys are a riot. The game is great and is going to do just fine.
They have said over and over on release there will be a wipe.
Some of you must be really bad at it to cry this much over a fantastic little game thats still in beta. :aok
Oh and what game isn't a waste of time? :lol
-
My Tiger is a fun tank to use in there. I guess I've nailed down the trajectory of the L/71 88mm.
I wish they'd cut out the Maus, 4502, IS-4 and 7. But I take the game at face value.
It's still fun.
-
Lighten up folks. It's a game. A free game. In the closed beta phase. Give it time. There's more coming. And if you don't like it, don't play.
-
Teleporting tanks is the only thing that pisses me off since auto aim is useless. "C" i have no idea how to tell if someone is, been killed a few times through buildings but don't know if its a map issue or the "C" word. Only been in one game that was really off balance we had 4 Tiger II's and some decent meds vs an IS-7 and some good arty and a mix of crap. It was a race to see which one of us could pull the trigger first to get the kills that round, seemed like every kill was one shot.

Maus and 4502 seem like a waste of time, I've stopped at the Tiger II. Can use the large canon to rape at long range or one of the smaller to rack up large chucks of cash and exp.

I still can't stand the laser/jdam guided SPG crap. There is no way in hell that a cannon round should be able to follow a random pattern of driving around. Not to mention the size of the maps allow most of the higher level SPGs to cover the entire map; except where the terrain hinders that shot.
I was on a map the other day with 4 SPGs on my teams side and about 5 seconds after the start of the round they all shot into the enemy start point and killed 6 tanks at once. No one had spotted anything at all so POSSIBLY they had a "C" word enabled...or maybe they just knew the layout really well with a highly trained set of crews.

Hint: Only the higher tier tanks are capable of killing multiple tanks with one round. Even then it's extremely rare, I've never seen it and I own a top tier arty. Those top tier SPG's take 15+ seconds to load. Your story is a fabrication.

So far even after a few upgrades I still dont like the 4502...the Tiger 2 is a great tank to stop at because most of the time you'll be the highest guys in the battle...with the 4502 you get thrown in with IS7s and Mausen.
This can't happen in WOT because of the erroneous damage modeling.
Model is better than AH's 1 shot stuff.

I've seen it happen and have been on both sides when it has. One of the higher tier battles I was in, as soon as the match started the other side starting shooting arty rounds, took out about 4-5 of our guys just as the began before we even had a chance to move. I was one of those killed right at the start. Another time I was on the other side of things and watched just as the match started as our arty fired and took out about 3 of their guys immediately after the match started. Of course, this could have been do to lag or something but it can and does happen on occasion.

I dont think it would be all that hard to shoot at starting spots, they are always in the same place. Spawn camping is pretty common, even in games like Badcompany 2 with tons of random spots.

No you haven't. The game starts with guns unloaded. Big arty take 15-25 seconds to load. The only way for this to happen is if several tanks loaded the game very late.. at least 15-25 seconds, minimum; giving ammo load then shell travel time. There is no way possible for arty to kill anything within 5 seconds of the game starting.
-

You can shoot at spawn camp spots sure. But an arty simply cannot do so 5 seconds from the game starting, as I've explained.

And I've got a fraps film I sent in of a top tier arty firing at 10X the rated load time....

Spikes conceptually its great for game play but the reality is that 95%+ of WW2 tank battles (that were decided by direct fire not bombs/arty) were 1st penetration wins. WW2 tanks were not very survivable, many tanks were actually lost with no penetration at all do to spalling. So you have a double wammie for mid tier tanks. They have to risk getting in close and to a flank or rear and then if they do get penetration they score "4-7%" damage.
I think its a great game and hope it does well....

yea I'm headed down the Panther branch now, sure i won't like it as much as the TigerII but going to check it out any ways. Only game i was in with a IS-7 i was teamed up with 3 other TigerII's game provided many LOLs for our team.

Half my games start with most the team looking at each like which way do we go, i can easily see it happening. been tracked at the beginning of a match before so soon as the timer hits 0 I'm moving now.

Link 'er up. I'm not doubting you but if it's true it's just a hack. There was a recent thread about there being a bunch of bots that got banned...I've yet to see one however.
I've seen some fishy shots when I was sitting behind rocks but sometimes they just have the perfect arc of a shot. Regardless they should implement no-arty servers.

Well it wouldn't be fun getting 1 shotted in a big tank all day would it. :) Some unrealistic things need to be done to help playability and that is one of them...if all tanks could be knocked out in 1 shot battles wouldn't last more than 30 seconds...everyone would charge forward and whoever gets the most shots off wins.
Balance is really bad atm I agree...they really should do some sort of tiered mechanism but I've not the slightest clue how to go about that. It sucks having a little tank, trust me I've been there...we all have. After owning a Tiger, Tiger 2, and 4502 I will say I love running the VK3601H more than ever...low cost, and overall I have a bigger blast trying to flank and what not, helping out the bigger tanks. Just because a side has 3 IS7's vs a 4502 doesn't mean the battle is lost, not at all. Yesterday something similar happened where all of their tanks died except their IS7's, and 4 or 5 of us (IS4s, IS3s, T2's, 4502) successfully killed their IS7's only to get booted from the game and not get any creds. :(

WOT = Worth Our Time

Spikes I sent it in to them and then deleted it, there is already way to much out on you tube. I've seen this one 2-3 times but not in the last 48-72 hours or so. Curious if you know when they banned em? I filmed this a few days after all the help you guys gave me. The map hack is still up, saw two SP's go down in 1st 10 seconds earlier today on 2 shots while everyone is still in the "where we going" mode....glad to hear they're cleaning it up.
I'm with you on the playability issue with regard to 1 shot kills. But how is it different then getting 1 shot killed in your tier 4-5 ride by top tier arty or tank. Been one and done plenty of times....

Please, don't even try and tell me that I haven't seen it when 2 seconds after the match starts I am already dead because I took a direct hit from the other side's arty. Nor don't try and tell me that I didn't see when our side's arty did the same thing to the other side and killed 3 of their tanks as soon as the match had started. As GTO pointed out, it's not hard to do as the starting spawn points are the same and aren't randomized. I don't see it happen every time I play but I've seen it happen enough to know that it's possible and has been done before. Whether or not it's a result of the laggy servers I don't know but it does happen occasionally.

Saw a Hummel & S-8 go down on 1 shot kills in less time then it took my PZ4 to load and before anyone even got off the spawn....

We can if you want. But what you've stated as happening isn't possible in the game. Arty's take more than 5 secs to load so it is impossible that they could kill anyone within 5 secs of the game starting. You have never been killed by arty within 5 secs of the game starting. Your own arty couldn't TK you in 5 secs of the start if they were pointed at you when the game started.

Your completely wrong, the game already has modules that adjust all of the variables. The apparent flaw is that "custom" modules are being written that have effects far beyond those intended. The "standard" module increases loading time by 10%...the "enhanced" version by significantly more.

Looking forward to playing it myself. It crashed in the last second on download though, time to try again.

Name one arty that can aim, load and shoot in 5 seconds. One
Show me info where these "custom" modules are being used.
By they way, it's "you're"
The standard module DECREASES loading time.

Speaking for myself I have yet to die in the first 30 seconds due to arty. But I'm still playing in the lower tier ranks.
I suspect if anyone is going to figure out how to hack the arty reload I'm guessing he's going to be in one of the better tier SPG's pretty darn quick.
I've also pulled off a few 'blind' shots that connected. Ie see a tank at long range pull into a patch of brush. Then his icon goes away. I know he's still there, so I put 2 into the last place I saw him. Poof (I'm sure he was cussing.)
Overall, while I wouldn't mind seeing a few changes. Or having more options about what battles, against who, or even to being able to choose the map to play on.
Overall I'm happy, just bought my first week of premium, saving up for a month.
I've sold all the tanks except my AT-1, & current SU-76. Thinking about going to the T-46 for something a bit more mobile for a bit. That path would take me into the heavy's quicker than any other.
And I think I've learned enough I could survive longer as a scout now.
-
Steve....its ok if you think you are right all the time...we understand that a TV star like yourself just can't stand not being on the winning side all the time and we all know that. Its ok we concede that you are wrong and right at the same time and we all know that you just can't understand how this is possible since your just you.

Steve,
WOT has tremendous potential and a lot of innovations that are great. The "consumables" are a case in point. They allow you to modify everything from load time, to "seeing" the other guy, making your tank faster etc. From all the text chatter and whats on a few 3rd party bbs's the issue is further "adjusting" these modifications. After being on the receiving end a few times I just started running fraps for a bit. Sent 3 different clips in altogether...
From what I can tell loading speed and camo are the two most manipulated. Last one I sent is was a T-44 locked up with 2 other friendlies...literally "cloaked" mid fight at a range of less then 300 when he stopped.
-
Steve....I can offer no evdence whatsoever to support my rediculous assertions
I know, dude. You were probably just frustrated at arty for killing you from afar. It happens to us all.
-
I still have not been back yet. My 2 minutes or so I was there before dieing sure looked nice.

I think the game is a blast. One had to be mindful that it's a game; a long way from being a "sim". :)
I haven't seen any cloaked tanks yet. Oh wait... I wouldn't see them. Heheh you know what I mean.
-

There is always the possibility of hacks. I'm reasonably sure there is at least one map hack out there because I've been hit by artillery even when no scouts or other enemies have come my way yet. So I don't rule out the possibility of a hack allowing faster reload times.
-

Saw a guy next to me killed as we were rolling off the spawn, last night. An enemy Hummel killed him, before the 75MM in my PzIV was finished loading. We had just started to roll, moved less than the length of my tank. Yes, it does happen.

The only way this happens is if you load the game later than the hummel. But this isn't what I said cannot happen.
In the above case, the game started several seconds before you loaded into the game and the guy in the hummel just fired into the spawn points. I've seen lots of artys throw a randow shell at the spawn once they load their first shell.
What I said is that no big arty can possibly shoot a round off within 5 seconds of the game starting... and they can't.

Played it for a week. Unloaded it. Liked the sighting interface, damage model was kinda neat. Biggest complaint I had was warping and cloaking tanks, and getting tossed in with upper level vehicles and used as cannon fodder.
Ran into a Pz.III, all he did was circle my 38T shooting me as he went around. Couldn't bring the turret around fast enough, couldn't out run him, dead. Then get the typical idiotic messages from him.
Not for me. Certainly not going to pay for it.

Steve, 99 times out 100, I'm one of the 1st 5 in the game. I do not load in late, I normally load in early. I know what I was, and it was a Hummel kill before I even had my 1st round loaded in a 75MM in a PzIV. You may want to believe it cannot happen, but it can happen and it does happen. Believe what you will, I know what I've seen.
-
The game is a lot of fun but limited. As a free offering its a blast, id they have a PFP model I think they'll have some serious teething issues. I'd love to see Dale and crew incorporate some of the features but leave the cheesy
"consumables" out. A perk system is a much better way to control the higher end stuff then what they have....

Yeah, as a P2P MMO they'd have to make a lot of changes like include some sort of PvE combat or open world PvP/PvE combat zones that just isn't solely tank vs. tank. P2P shooter MMO's are almost non-existant (save Planetfall) because it's been clearly shown the consumer will not pay for a strictly PvP match MMO game.
For a F2P game with a limited micro-transactions, it's a good business model that's been proven. If WoT sinks or swims, they can't blame it on the business model they've chosen. One of the factors that lies in Wargaming.net's favor are the clan features of WoT that have pretty much turned into a meta-game within WoT, like the Risk like strategic game play of the Clan Wars system.

(totally off topic sorry)
i like WoT and all but the stupid comments like

So how many of you have been in a tank or know about tank warfare O.o?

WoT is not a perfect game, such a thing will never exist. But, for a FREE GAME, it is hands down the best FREE GAME I've ever played/come across. It is in CLOSED BETA, this isn't a surprise, but some are pretending like it's "Live".

I was in Armor Divisions/Battalions much during my career as an 11C (Indirect Fire Infantryman for the civies :)). Providing Mortar (4.2"-107mm and eventually 120mm) fire support
for our M60's, then Abrams. Climbed in a few tanks in my day.
Always glad I wasn't a tanker. Glad I had to sleep in an icy, water filled mudhole, instead of the poor tankers who had to repair track in an icy, water filled mudhole.
We used to call them DAT's (dumb arsed tankers), then the Abrams came out with the computerized fire control/stab system. We called them CDAT's (Computerized dumb arsed tankers).
I've been out 15 years now.
Infantry was a hard road, but I miss it to this day,lol. My Class A's still fit. I've never taken my awards/badges off the jacket.
I'm sure there are many here who have been in a tank and understand tank maneuver.
With your avatar, I'm assuming you were Armored Cav.
PS- DAT j/k

Posted Today, 05:58 PM
The maintenance works are scheduled for October 21, 11:30 EST / 16:30 GMT. Reason: updating game servers to v. 0.5.5.1
Estimated downtime: up to 2 hours.
I don't think this is the update we have all been waiting on though...I really don't think we will see American tanks until after a soft wipe.
-
- 2 new maps: Komarin and Cliff.
- Adjusted speed of burning of all tanks during the fire. Now the tank will burn at about 5% of durability per second.
- Fixed collision-model of tank "Tiger I". Significantly decreased size of turret rotation mechanism.
- Balance and vehicle tweaks:
• StuG III, VK1602, SU-76 - decreased tracks repair time.
• StuG III - added rammer.
• Grille price increased from 140.400 to 147.100 credits.
• BT-7 - increased traverse speed for both suspensions by 4 deg/sec. 7% accuracy increase for the 2nd suspension added.
• Fixed truck rotation on SU-14.
• SU-26 – weakened platform rotation mechanism.
• PzIV – Hummel upgrade cost increased from 34.220 to 35.400 experience.
• KV - S-51 upgrade cost decreased from 144.730 to 127.320 experience.
• VK3002DB the 2nd suspension upgrade cost decreased by 4.000 experience, total VK3002DB - Panther upgrade cost increased by 4.000 experience.

I am just excited about the two new maps...hope to get on them here in the next few minutes after the download finishes.
BTW the update is ~59MB in size.
If you don't want to wait on the launcher for the torrent update then use this link.

Played over 30 rounds yesterday/last night after everyone went to bed...didn't see the new maps one fragging time.
-
Saw both maps last night in the only two matches I played later in the evening. Unfortunately, I did not see a lot of "Cliff" as I was sitting on the spawn when the servers horked, and they did not recover before I decided I'd had enough.
-
Both maps were pretty cool. I did notice a lot more warping after the update. Coincidence or a result of the update I don't know.
