17.1.2015

- Russian support service confirms that HT15 mission is bugged (one of the elements of the equation apparently does not count)
- Storm confirms that the AMX-50B in HD doesn’t have the green weakzones on frontal plate (the armor models that were leaked earlier were incorrect)
- HT11 mission is also bugged – it will not complete even if your tracks are damaged, it will be fixed
- the same bug as above applies for other missions as well, such as TD2
- MT12 description is incorrect, in it you personally have to kill 3 vehicles, not the entire platoon
- new premium tanks will be implemented “in near future”
- awarding the girl tankers and tokens needed for StuG IV (specifically, for SPG mission branch) is bugged, WG is working on it
- if you set an enemy on fire and get killed immediately after, the fire damage does count towards your reward even after you die
- there are some mods (SS: obsolete XVM?) that make your client show incorrect IM parameters (they make you see the conditions from 9.5 test, not the final ones), be sure you have the mods updated or remove them
- platoons in IM’s a bad idea? “Those are the conditions in the missions. It’s your right to complete them – or not. And yes – EVERY player has the possibility to play in a platoon”
- in order for the girl crew special perk to activate, the crew has to consist entirely of women
- IM vehicles do NOT have increased profitability, they are not premium tanks, but reward tanks

  1. - Storm confirms that the AMX-50B in HD doesn’t have the green weakzones on frontal plate (the armor models that were leaked earlier were incorrect)

    so i still can ram with my beautiful 50b?

  2. - platoons in IM’s a bad idea? “Those are the conditions in the missions. It’s your right to complete them – or not. And yes – EVERY player has the possibility to play in a platoon”

    Yeah except I am forced to do so. What if my friends don’t like War MMO stuff? Find a random guy in chat? No thanks. The devs should really consider the players like that think. Solo players are a big community in this game and they should………

    Oh wait. Why bother if I can play AW :)

      • Well, because we want something new and apparently WG spent half of year on these IM while they could develop something more interesting. We naturally try them out and see that WG disappointed us.

    • AW should release an advertising video in the spirit of the old WoT ads that mocked Eve Online and fantasy games.
      Some WW2 tanks are battling away (in a corridor, of course) when a Leo 2 and T-90 arrive and murder both teams before they can figure out what’s going on. When the killing is done, the Leo and T-90 traverse their turrets toward each other, depress their guns to “nod” at one another, then drive off into the sunset. As they leave, the turret blows off a burning IS-7.

    • well,, that WG in nutshells,, new patch mean new bug,, and new bug mean new problem,, and if they don;t fix it ASAP,, then the player will hate you,, the cow that usually they milk start to hate you,, oh wait,, that same thing,, okay,, change it,, the IGN will hate you,, and if everyone hate you,, you won’t get any money,, well,, they never care about their player anymore,, since they prefer to smoke rocket fuel and use it to send SerB to their new base on the moon

  3. So once again World of Screwups can’t even create a new part of the game without screwing it up so badly that it is unplayable!!!

    Tell Serb B to stop playing rocket man, fire storm and fix this mess, because he’s not getting anymore money from me!!!

    God I hope some of the new games come out soon!!!

  4. Not sure if i just have a bad memory or there is a bug with the the 2nd 9.5 patch (to bring the IMs). It seems that the gun traverse of the amx 13 f3 has changed. The total amount of traverse is the same but it is now shifted upwards of 5 degrees or more to the right of center or more.

  5. - in order for the girl crew special perk to activate, the crew has to consist entirely of women

    Well, fuck you too WG

    As if this whole “women as reward” wasn’t sexist and dumb enough.

  6. “- Russian support service confirms that HT15 mission is bugged (one of the elements of the equation apparently does not count)”

    Do we know which one? Is it damage dealt or damage blocked that isn’t being counted?

  7. “- MT12 description is incorrect, in it you personally have to kill 3 vehicles, not the entire platoon”

    I’m confused here. So i have to kill 3 tanks while i’m in a platoon ?

    Does that mean to achieve MT12 mission for Obj 260 i have to kill 10 tanks by myself while i’m in a platoon ? WTF that’s a pool medal. So what is the purpose of forming a platoon here ?

    • Blocked…..
      Potential damage received was best – but NOOOOOO, fuck shit up while it works excellent.
      Also Storm’s a twat – tanking with tracks, according to him, is bullshit…

    • that 8000 is total of damage you dealt + damage you received + damage your armour blocked. For example 4000 + 2000 + 2000. But this mission is current bugged which mean damage received or blocked doesn’t count. At the moment you have to deal for example 6000 + 2000 received (or blocked).

  8. - MT12 description is incorrect, in it you personally have to kill 3 vehicles, not the entire platoon

    this is bullshit, if this is how it should work you would need 10 kills yourself in the object 260 MT12

  9. -IM tanks are not premium tanks
    -NA launcher specifically calls them “Premium Tanks”

    Trololo

  10. “- there are some mods (SS: obsolete XVM?) that make your client show incorrect IM parameters (they make you see the conditions from 9.5 test, not the final ones), be sure you have the mods updated or remove them”

    XVM made the popups display text instead of just a blank window, but I had to update my stat tracking mod (yasenkrasen, in this case, but I imagine others are similar) to update the IM text as well as the completion window text.

  11. So let me get this straight… its now confirmed that there are some bugs in IMs, and some of those will not complete no matter what, and several of them are the same bug across several vehicle class….

    … so how is it possible WG stated that some people have already completed the missions and got the Stug IV? Sounds a bit suspicious to me!

    • “some of those will not complete no matter what”

      That’s not true. Most of them have bugged descriptions, some of them are little bugged in themselves, but all are still completable (even though some not in a way you’d expect from description)

  12. Here is a fun little bug, HT-7 cap base, if you cap the base and the team then kills everyone it doesn’t count!

  13. I am unsure about one thing – did they tell us, that if you don’t want to complete all 5 classes, you need to complete ALL secondary objectives for four classes to receive one extra “point” (whatever it is called in english)? Currently, it is enough to fullfill the secondary objective only for last mission in chain, to get that one extra “point”.

  14. - in order for the girl crew special perk to activate, the crew has to consist entirely of women

    You keep saying that, and yet:

    Male Commander

    They have the exact same reload time, BIA on the Male crew members is active with a Female commander.

    I have played the bat extensively in pub games over the last couple days, and it is working.

  15. platoons in IM’s a bad idea
    HORRIBLE idea actually!!! what if i don’t have anyone to platoon with because the people i know aren’t into WOT at all!?!? why can’t i just participate and compete in wining the STUG IV without depending on someone else !?! i simply want to play this game single player style and from time to time as a thank you for wasting so many hours get a freaking virtual tank in return for ************ sake!!!! what the hell is wrong with you people?!? i simply hate platooning because people in random platoons aren’t even taking the game seriously. it’s just another pathetic excuse to make unicums have an easy life with their unicum friends, honestly. individual should stay individual as in 1 player missions. you really should have an option to complete the mission alone on your own!!! or at least skip those missions by completing 2-3 other individual missions, truly individual not communist individual.

  16. the MT-12 mission is bugged i think,i completed it with my friend,at first i played Type 59 and always got 2 kills and he was playing Lowe,always getting 1 or 2 kills,after some matches we played T62A both of us,and i managed to kill 2 enemies and he other 2 and my mission was completed

    • - MT12 description is incorrect, in it you personally have to kill 3 vehicles, not the entire platoon

      meaning in order to do the MT12 for Object 260 you have to kill 10 tanks yourself while being in a platoon

  17. - platoons in IM’s a bad idea? “Those are the conditions in the missions. It’s your right to complete them – or not. And yes – EVERY player has the possibility to play in a platoon”

    Ahh, remeber when you could only form a platoon with premium account? Bad old times…

  18. HT11 is also bugged in a different way. It gets awarded even if you are destroyed during the battle.

  19. - IM vehicles do NOT have increased profitability, they are not premium tanks, but reward tanks

    So does that mean no XP bonus as well to train crew from other vehicles ? and you also have to train a specific crew for this “premium non-premium reward BS vehicle” ?

    • No. You dont get premium xp or credit bonus. But you get the ability to put a crew from the same nation and class in without penalty

  20. IN the last 2 months, I’ve logged in to WOT about 3 or 4 times, and each time I’ve logged back out without playing a single game…

    Couldn’t be arsed… there are so many fuckups in this game that every day its more unplayable…

    If anyone sees me in battle.. give me a slap and tell me to wake up…. thanks…
