Hello everyone,

the following information is based on the investigation into this matter, that appeared in the German section of EU forums, specifically the data by Schrottkiste and General_Jack_D_Ripper (thanks for letting me know, General :) )

The outcome of the abovelinked thread is:

Premium tank XP bonus modifier (that was introduced not so long ago) does NOT count towards the crew XP, used in that tank.

That also means the “graphs”, used in the abovelinked WG post are useless, because they do not represent the real training curve. General_Jack_D_Ripper explains:

Before battle crew XP status (right-click and “view image” for full size):

After battle crew XP status (right-click and “view image” for full size):

Crew XP actually gained: 2820XP (or twice for “Accelerate Crew Training”).
Tank XP gained: 940XP * 2(daily) + 657XP for using premium vehicle) = 2537XP -> Crew received 940XP * 2(daily) *1,5(crew-XP modifier for premium vehicle) = 2820XP
Crew should actually have received: [940XP * 2(daily) + 940XP * 0,7(Tier II premium vehicle XP modifier)] * 1,5(Premium vehicle crew XP modifier) = 3807XP

The original WG post advertises, that players need * 2,55 less battles(1,5 * 1,7) in Tier II, while in reality it is 1,5 less battles for ever Tier. As a “bonus”, if a player uses Accelerated Crew Training, 100% of XP “for use of a premium vehicle” is lost.

Conclusion

This bug was confirmed by WG support staff (Mr. Luke Vos) and passed on to WG developers for fixing.

Hello everyone,

here’s a compilation of the “best” bits from World of Papoj series (it already has like 18 parts, it started long before I linked it on FTR). Some are a bit hard to follow what’s going on, but some are genuinely funny and since it’s shitty weather outside anyway, anything that brings positive mood is a valuable commodity!

Enjoy :)

Hello everyone,

thanks to CostlierZero1, who noticed two more odd inconsistencies in World of Tanks models. Check this out.

This is the tier 2 British artillery, Loyd Gun Carrier. This is how it looks visually:

Nothing too fancy, just a “walkaround”, unfortunately without gameplay footage. Scorpion will be a regular American premium for sale, not a reward tank.

Hello everyone,

Wargaming is implementing a web interface for the Stronghold game mode and Tanitha “leaked” the first picture of it. Here it is. Thanks to everyone, who sent me the link! :)

Hello everyone,

an official portal post appeared on the recruitment program on the US server. It’s quite likely the same system will be implemented to the EU and RU server as well, so if I were you, I’d have a look. World of Alts ho!

The interesting parts are the numbers:

What bonuses are available?

Hello everyone,

as announced earlier, micropatch 0.9.4.1 (3,5 MB + 10 MB “localization package”) was applied today to the EU client. So, do you think it fixed the nasty bugs from 9.4? Well, not all…

M53/M55, taken 2 minutes ago:

Luckily at least the visual model is correct. Oh well, as usual.

I will just leave this here. And the “secret reward tank” is T95E2 IIRC

You can now invite friends to play World of Tanks with you, using our new Refer-A-Friend Program!

How to Refer A Friend

There are two different types of referrals that you can make:

- A referral for a NEW player (someone who has never played World of Tanks)
- A referral for an INACTIVE player (someone who has not played for at least 60 days)

To invite a player using the Refer a Friend Program, you input either

- Their email address (for NEW players)
- Their username, onto the “Invite Player” section of your Account Management page (for INACTIVE players)

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,

so, basically I got delayed with the FTR for AW. Tried out a new design, it looks like shit and then I had other stuff to do unfortunately. I am not quite sure what would be the best, but it will have to be fast, as more and more news about AW are being released. This week, then. I promise! :)

Anyway, once again it’s the time to thank the contributors, it’s you who keep FTR running after all!

This time, following people donated via Paypal:

Llares (EU server, Germany)
Defcon13 (EU server, Spain)
Radek M. (Czech Republic)

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it, as always.
