TD competition cheating

Hello everyone,

let’s have a look at the tiny little fail, that happened on Russian server recently. Well, perhaps more than tiny.

As you probably know, last month, an event took place: best tank destroyer players (well, at least the ones that got most XP) get to win the Type 59, gold and yaddayadda. Each tank destroyer category (vehicle) has its own winners.

15.8.2013 – part 2

Since I promised to promote this: check out the VBAddict Battle Simulator – a tool for battle analysis. Looks useful.

- players breaking the rules too much ingame? “How terrible…”
- Object 430U will not come anytime soon
- the Intuition perk is working as intended apparently
- Czechoslovak tree will not come as a separate tree, but as a part of the EU tree, SerB states that they will maintain a significant presence within their boundaries, for example with heavies it’s really bad (SS: Czechs have three possible heavy tanks as far as I remember, if we count out the IS copies: two very lowtier vehicles (2/3) and Tiger with a 75mm autoloader)
- dynamic tank characteristics in hangar (SS: as in, adjusted by crew skill) are planned

- the XP price for unlocking Object 140? “Wait for the test” (SS: it’s roughly the same as the price for T-62A, eg. 200k XP)
- there will be no “special” subtitles for national voiceovers, because there are currently enough indicators what’s going on (tank being hit, burning etc.)
- maps not dropping evenly? “Play 1000 battles within one patch and show us the statistics”
- too many draws on Redshire map? “How terrible…”
