Indeed was thinking the same.

Ahh yeah typo will correct that. heh not sure why I did that. But thanks for the catch!

[blacklupos]

foolish me, I was expecting server split and patch next week like they said. Well, maybe next month...

[BlacKHeaDSg1]

Omg, that Pershing looks like tank killer O.O

[Zulnex]

Awesome updates.   Looking forward to the patch release very much.

[Inkompetent]

Nice change logs, and the new tracking-hitboxes look awesome! I've always been wondering how the hell tanks got tracked so easily when shot just in the roadwheels and carrier rollers. Especially tanks like the King Tiger which as double and triple layers of roadwheels, adding quite a grotesque amount of protection.

obj 212 is a ferdy?

[Frehelias]

Nice what you did with the map and the points.
The Bermuda's potato field sure is strange. I still see arty shells when I close my eyes after I've been trough that.

Some survivors of the Bermuda's potato field said that they saw...

The T-54 is a sexy, sexy tank.

Reposting from the first thread:

Splitting the playerbase into two is a terrible idea. Beyond horrible.

What makes more sense is a single world-server somewhere (because latency makes very little difference to it) then clients having a preference to which shard servers they play on. Prefer euro, plays on euro shards. Otherwise plays on US. If in a platoon/clan grouping, the world server tallys the server selections and then the group battles on whichever has more. Bam, no playerbase separation, and people are happy because they have low pings.


This may be only a beta, but clans have already formed and a lot of them are going to be split in half because of this. Really, who wants to play with more lag? If they go with the native server, they get low ping, but have no clan (and/or have to make anew account on the other server). If they go with the other one, they have to play with lag always so will be much less likely to play for fun (and buy/spend gold).


Also, what about the horribly broken spotting system?

[TehRedScar]

So many pictures, although the lack of US TD's makes me sad, all that new metal certain does look fun.
Also, Object 212 is now known to me as the 'short bus'

[Cobra6]

I vote for an "on the fly" selection system. One central database for all players, and players can select each time they log in on what server to play.

But I am also interested in when they fix the spotting system and also the terrible camouflage bug of the Jagdpanther. You can't hide with that thing, you get spotted even before all the regular moving tanks in your squad are seen. That should be a priority because it makes this tank very hard to actually play with.

There is no point in revealing all and at once. Patience, please.

Full specs of 9 new vehicles will be added shortly.

I agree with you 100% but server split was never in question, it was going to hapen, so joining clans with people on the other side of the pond might not have been the best idea to begin with.

[MrVic]

Please continue the server split discussion in the main topic for it
