World of Tanks (PC Game)

[DankE_SPB]

so somebody was digging through game files and found this:
there are 22 maps planned as of now + test/training map

00_planb_testsite
09_hutora - "hutor" - is a very small village of few houses, 'a means its a plural
12_el-alameen
14_siegfried_line
15_komarin - relates to a 1st liberated town in Belarus during WW2
16_carpaty - Carpathian mountains
17_siberia
18_cliff
19_falkland
19_kurgan - Kurgan, chances are this is related to Stalingrad, because of Mamayev Kurgan
22_slough

other titles speak for themselves i assume

also found this screenie
contains other map names - Airfield, Dzharbah, Ardennes, Al-Halluf

if such amount of maps will be available in october with new tank trees then it would be very nice(and fix the lag issues)

Setting Testing Servers and Preparing New Patch
World of Tanks closed beta goes to stand-by mode till September 1
25 August 2010, 19:10



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.

No WoT for a week

at least this, along with server upgrades tomorrow, should help with lag problem, atm unplayable in the evening.

[masterceo]

5k gold. all exp converted into free exp. All credits will remain and losing all the tanks, modules, and shells will be compensated by corresponding amount of credits spent on buying them. My mind just exploded.

HopefullyI'll have enough to try out a T-44 or Panther. Are they gona fix the penetration issues? I just had a game where my german 8.8 failed to penetrate a VK36 4 times in a row, one including from the rear. I dont see myself spending money or time on this game if they dont fix BS like this.

[CroCop]

Well shooting the VK3601 is probably the worst possible spot you are aiming for (implying that the strongest armor on that thing is the rear)

[Polka]

Well then, I'll use half of the gold for even moar money and the second for a month premium. oh yeah.

[DankE_SPB]

better leave the 1st part of gold for crew training
in new patch they get 100% instead of 75%
