Where is the "SETTINGS" menu so I can ensure I can pre-download the next big update???

 

It's the settings icon on the launcher - left side; looks like a gear.

I don't know about you guys but I believe the IS10 is the best followup after IS9 / T10. Just my opinion.

 

Copy/paste joke, sorry. I'm really curious what they will come up with as the IS9/10s superior.

Object 279 perhaps?

Speaking of Holiday OPs.....   If I applied the holiday discount to one of these tanks in 9.21, will it stay with the tank, will it reset (allowing me to select another), or will I lose the discount?

 

I'm not certain on each specific tank, but WG did say in their preview that if you applied it to the 430 or the Object 263 it will transfer automatically to the 430U or the Object 268 v4  That is probably due to the 430 changing tiers and the Obj 263 being removed.  I would imagine any tank that stays in its current tier will keep the discount, but I can't be certain on that.

Has there been an official answer to the question of compensation for those who have the T10, Obj. 263, Obj 430 and SU 122-54 in their accounts?  Understand the tree changes and the fact you get tanks added to your account if you have the T10, Obj. 263 and Obj 430.  However, if you already have the Obj. 263 you are not being compensated for the SU122-54 (specifically the 434,300 in free experience (minus the 9RM radio) that it took to research the vehicle and all its parts to level it up.  Nor are you compensated for the 4,516,000 in silver it took to buy all of said parts to include the 9RM radio for this vehicle). 

 

If the SU122-54 goes away as planned I as an owner of all four vehicles would like 434,300 free experience and 4,516,000 silver added to my account.  I don't want to sell you my "junker" at less than half price silver and no free experience!

U should get NOTHING because its being replaced.  Why should u get creds for a tier 9 being removed and then get the tier 9 replacement too?  Its a SWAP; therefore, NO, u dont deserve credit compensation.

I have tried all the new USSR tanks. Overall they turn too slow, have very bad gun depression and they reload too slowly . 263 = good alpha but slow ROF, bad view/depression, slow turning.

257= good tank with slowish reload, bad aim time/depression.

ISM = Low pen/Alpha, bad view/depression, slow turning.

705 = bad depression, poor ROF/Alpha, poor view and slow turning.

705A  = medium speed,poor turning, good alpha, poor ROF and depression.

430 = good speed/turning , bad depression with low alpha.

430U = Fast, mobile, good turning, good ROF but lowish alpha poor depression.

268v4 = fast but not nimble in turns,bad ROF but good alpha, bad depression.

The common fault is ROF, Depression, Mobility, and Alpha. All in all I will continue with the 257 and will wait to see whats after the t10. The rest I will not be grinding for in the near future. chuckwaggon Canada.

 

U R clueless.  The tier 10; 268-4, 705 and 430u r all OP.

It isn't a swap if you already have the tank they are swaping...read the post.  I have the Obj 263 and the SU 122-54.  So...when the 263 moves to Tier IX I get the Obj 263 4 added to the acct.  THEN....since I already have the SU 122-54 I get the Obj 263 added to the account....but gee....it is already there....then the SU goes away.....so I am out all the research and silver for the SU 122-54.  Think you follow....or should I type slower?

Wait, so do we lose silver for having both the Obj 263 and SU 122-54 if we buy the SU 122-54? Meaning we shouldn't buy the SU 122-54 since we will get the Obj 263 and the Obj 268 v4 from just owning the Obj 263 currently?

[Warlion485]

Terms of game play rule per official response....so be ready to be hosed.

What is the date this takes place?  I just saw an update on main page saying something about the TD's starting Feb. 7

 

[mworthy]

This update is going to ruin the entire 263 line. How does nerfing an entire line create interest to go down it?

the patch notes for this seem to indicate something that i think is incredibly stupid. That after specified time you will be picked to go into matches (any type of match) even if you have those options unchecked. If this actually happens, then MM is officially broken. i choose to avoid grand battles and assault bc they are stupid. getting put into those battles when i specifically chose not too will be rage inducing and will definitely reduce how much i play this game. GB are an even more huge campfest than normal, and assault mode is barely winnable bc of teammates who don't seem to understand which mode they are in....camping at base during assault is far too common.

Where does it say that?

The improvements to the matchmaker will ensure more even distribution among the battle types enabled by players (Standard Battle, Attack/Defense, Encounter Battle, Grand Battle). The battle type selector will consider the history of the player's previous battles. The Grand Battles will not come in a succession.

 

 

It Should mean if you have standard, assault, and grand battles selected, and you play in a GB, your not getting a GB next, and it will "consider" your history of previous battles when selecting. So say your last XX battles were GB,Assault(Attack)Standard,Assault(Defend),Assault(attack) and you play a GB, your next one will be more likely to be either a Standard battle or a defending assault.

 

Nowhere in it does it say they're going to force a game mode on you.

 Matchmaking Improvements

9.22’S update will improve the matchmaker to allow tankers to encounter different Battle Modes (in your preferred list) more often.

This means, in your next Random Battle, the mode (Standard, Assault, Encounter, or Grand Battle) has less chance of reoccurring if you’ve already fought one.

This will help avoid encountering the same Battle Mode several times in a row (more often with Grand Battles). But entering a Grand Battle every other match is still possible.

To get the most out of the new mechanic, the matchmaker needs data on the last 50 matches played after 9.22’s release. It works best when you’ve played 50+ battles after the update.

When it takes too long to assign a player to a battle, the matchmaker may add extra Battle Modes to those you’ve marked. If the wait takes more than 50 seconds, you’ll enter the first available match in any mode.

 

It's a little annoying, but you don't often wait 50 sec to find matches above tier 4 or so.

Interesting. It's not in the above post by cabbage(which is where I looked) but  it is there, I stand corrected.

 

My initial re-reading of it has me thinking that it is intended to mean it the way I said it. So say your last XX battles were GB,Assault(Attack)Standard,Assault(Defend),Assault(attack) and you play a GB, your next one will be more likely to be either a Standard battle or a defending assault. It's taking to long to find you one of those, so it adds Assault(Attacker) back into the mix.

Wait, what? Very Richard move there... Never before has the "random battle types" box been called "your preffered list" it's been a hard inclusion/exclusion list of the modes.
