Thanks to Taifuuni for this one. Looks like the developers had a bit of fun. From today’s micropatch:
“Karl-Gerät”
and new map, “Battlecity”
And no, these won’t appear in the game :) It’s just someone screwing around. Oh yea, and the WGL hangar (source) – that will appear in April:
ah that old NES tank game ha ha ha
That game is a part of some people childhood, like me :3
Oh yeah, really brings back the memories with this one. Wonder if WOWp got a minecraft version of “Sky destroyer” :]
Namco Bandai made an updated Battle City game called “Tank Batallion” in iPad. Gotta pay for it, but at least you can choose your tanks from WW2 (as far as I’m playing). Comes with Daily Gasha for moar tanks, boss battles, online co-op (!), and recycle function so you can recycle unwanted tanks for better (depends on amount and quality(?) of recycled tanks)
Would it count as a Historical Battle?
I knew it, WoT is just a upgraded version of Battle City.
You command one tank and defend your base on your own against hordes of bots.
That is the definition of pubs on ASIA
Or the NA west server
I haven’t seen that many on NA west. Definitely more then NA east though
It’s for the 1st April.. I mean the minecraft thing :P
I think so too…
If that is all then last year’s was way cooler :)
not if you start a random battle on 1st april with any tank and somhow end up with Karl-Gerät on this battlecity map
I think i would lmao when they start trolling like that :D
Looks like fun. This will probably be the only “funny” thing people do on April Fools day that will be worth paying attention to.
I’ll trade all the previous gift tanks WG gave to us for that Karl-Gerät without thinking!
WG screwed all of the sound mods with micro patch… game is crashing with all of them…(KT, Gnomefather, Immersion…)
Gnomefather found the problem and is working on it. Check his facebook
Officially, mods are not supported.
Also backwards compatability is the bane of software engineering.
“Officially, mods are not supported.”
ORLY?
Times, they are a changing – http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/19/wargaming-developer-partner-program/
I know…I found this line which said that a 600mm shell was missing from the game in the python.log, as many people complained that my mods didn’t work with the micropatch.
so when it will be fix.. cant play wot without your gun mod…. standard wot sounds are soo… depressing..
it is enough to just kill the “item_defs” folder in World_of_Tanks\res_mods\8.11\scripts as a workaround.
As a matter of fact, if you just delete the “Germany” piece INSIDE the “item_defs\vehicles folder”, it will work, too and you will still have your sounds (except for German tenks….).
Maybe this 600mm shell is for that “Karl” thing? ;)
Gerät 040: original model, armed with a short 60 centimetres (24 in) caliber barrel;
Gerät 041: later model, armed with a long (L/11.55) 54 centimetres (21 in) caliber barrel.
so, April 1st joke ruined our sound mods. My Jingles voiceover is gone, your gun sounds gone, man WG know how to f*ck things up when they even don’t want to.
How cute
It’s prepare for the 1st April.
I’m not sure if I want to read “Poland” every time I enter my garage :P
we don’t like american/german/?russian? tank, blast and red flag over our capital name either,
so it’s a draw i think
…as soon as that shit flag and ESL crap is in my garage I will mod it with some boobies…
Is it just me or is team battle mode not working for everyone else with this micro patch?
Oh lovely, so just for April Fool’s they manage to break the client.
Thanks wargaming, you’re so thoughtful, I hope you fall off a bridge.
They havent broken the client, its not their problem that certain mods wont work
My client crashes even after I’ve dumped the entire 0.8.11 folder, with AND without XVM; eat a dick, client’s broken.
edit: and since their adding the 600mm shell which isn’t found by GF’s mod seems to be the primary issue it is their “problem”, fixing it however, isn’t. especially since this was all for april fool’s day, and not something that actually mattered.
I’m hoping we can actually play it for 1 day :) Would be very fun. give it 0 armor and virtually no speed.
Looks like it also broke Tank Inspector.
A micropatch is released for Tank Inspector too, makes it working again.
I’m going to put back my “bat cave” hangar ….. nicer than this one :-) :-)
I like more splash and I cannot lie.
Battle City was so fun when I was little!!!
I just wish that for one time World of crappy patches could make an update that didn’t break all the mods. And yes I know they don’t support mods, but that doesn’t mean they have to go out of their way to screw thing up all the time.
That banner in the garage promoting the WGL finals is actually pretty clever. Great way of informing everyone about the event.
Thank you WG to point out a game where i can’t get bored after i got f*cked up by your game . :)
I think that WG doesn’t care about working mods. Said many times, even here.
BTW I think that WG has certain mischievous fun that thay can “shot down’ a huge number of mods by simply adding 600mm shell or whatever so unimportant.
However, isn’t it a problem of the mod that it cant understand a new type of shell or whatever? Eg. by assigning some default values if unfamiliar/unknown item is found?
My sound mod stopped working with 8.11 (i cant remember whats the name). However I copied the game’s sound files to \mod folder and then copied the mod over it. Some files get overwritten but not all and then the mod is working (well, I cant say that every tiny sound is ok, but the reason for what I have it, still works (getting hit, I hate default sounds mainly due to this – getting hit by BL-10, stripping me of 800 HP sounds the same as D-25 from IS which takes half the HP – and I get the same dull sound which can be easily overheard).
like all mods in every game.
game first
Karl: tier 1 HP: 1500
haha
It’s a Bat-Chat. with a second turret.
Karl-Gerat [Tracked shell battery] (http://www.militaryfactory.com/armor/detail.asp?armor_id=297)
An unrefined version granted but bears alot in common with the karl-Gerat, which would be an artillery piece.
That tank is OP!
Will oneshot all tanks including himself when it loads the shell… which in fact may take longer than 15 minutes ;))
