PHJ sent me this funny little video, kinda made me chuckle. Looks like TOGs are funny vehicles indeed :)

Thanks to (many) people who sent me this, I kinda missed it myself.

The next Top of the Tree after Object 268 (starting from 16.10.2013) will be AMX50B

Edit: looks like it’s been fixed

Hello everyone,

as you probably know, the October mission “Hero of the Day” was NOT fixed with today’s reset. The only thing that changed is that there’s now an official post claiming it will be fixed to count the damage in the future and not the XP. You know, “when it’s done it’s done”.

I had a look at how it is on the US server, that reported the same problem. Strangely enough it was confirmed by The_Chieftain that US server mission coding is correct (it has just wrong description), while on EU server both the coding and description are wrong. EU quality and all that.

However, a word of advice: despite what WG EU representatives claim, it’s VERY likely that no damage you deal today will count towards the goal if it gets fixed, so, unless you really want to grind 50k XP, I wouldn’t really bother.

As usual, some EU invite codes from CD-Action this morning (1000g, 3 days of prem) :)

Update: according to this post, WG is still not decided whether they will fix it, or simply change the portal news and leave the 50k XP demand.

Hello everyone,

just a word of warning: the October mission “Hero of the Day”, in which you are supposed to do 50k damage for a 250k credits reward is not working properly – instead of damage, it really counts XP, as you can see clearly here:

WG employees assured us repeatedly that the valid part is the DAMAGE and it’s simply an error in description. It is not.

That means two things:

- first, I am pretty sure the mission will be fixed only with next reset, so don’t bother accumulating damage today
- damage done today before the mission is fixed will almost certainly not transferred

Simply put, don’t bother fulfilling it (50k XP per day is pretty hard), wait until WG fixes it.

Hello everyone,

we now have an interesting turn of events. Three days ago, I posted an article about how WG EU busted a competition cheater. What happened: player PomFrit basically took a BT-2 to tier 10 via trollplatoons. He then shot a tier 10 tank several times, resulting in massive XP gain. As a result, WG EU (possibly CZ staff) banned him from the competition (plus a 7 day ingame ban) for cheating, because everyone was convinced it was rigged.

Thank you very much, guys.

Hello everyone,

just quick heads up for those who haven’t noticed yet. There’s a new October daily mission announced on the portal: Hero of the Day – deal 50k damage per day, earn 250k credits. Or, is it?

The ingame description looks like this:

So, another portal screwup? No. In this case, it’s a client issue. Tuccy specifically confirmed that it’s the 50k damage that’s valid and not 50k XP requirement (that would have been harsh). It’ll be fixed within the client at some point.

- FV300 is planned to be introduced as British light tank, but SerB states that other than that (it’s a tier 6 probably), the British have no hightier LT candidates, unless WG digs something up at Bovington
- SerB considers the 8.8 German rebalance “fair”
- the Lowe side armor is historical, it belongs to one of the models mentioned in Panzer Tracts (SS: Lowe is a mashup of two models in game, I think there’s an article on that in old FTR)
