Yes, but this is pre-WW2, or early WW2 tank, RA1 is little bit farther, around '70

[Kaido]

70 is too much. More like 50 or 60.

[Sgt. Nuker]

RA1 is actually in the late 70's to early-mid 80's, considering the Allied medium is essentially an M1A1 Abrams (look at the cameo). The timeframe for Red Alert though, is kind of large, counting the fact there Chronoshifting devices in the game, and Albert Einstein is brought into the picture.

[V.Metalic]

Allied Medium Tank in RA1 is quite hard to determine. In the cutscenes, it is Abrams, in cameo, it is more Leopard 1, in-game, it is also something else. Overall RA-series is strange Thats the point

[NergiZed]

So... you gents ready? WoT is launching tommorrow.

Don't think the tank I want will be available tommorrow anyhow, but I'll check if my bonus tank is there out of curiosity. Too busy to actually play though... :(

[V.Metalic]

I dont know what to choose If that empowered M6, Pz.4-5 (or 5-4), or A-32... I have a right to have it

[NergiZed]

You need to pay money for that, and in all hoensty, M6 is waaaaaaay too expensive and Pz. 4/5 sucks; the A-32 is the only one that is worthwhile, plus it is the cheapest.

The bonus tank I meant was the crap Shermam. I hear somewhere that you can get it if you were in the CBT and/or if you have 1000 battles under tha belt. The trouble is, I don't know if it's 'and' or 'or'. :S

Edit:
Good news!

Well that settles that, I registered waaaaay back in like July of '10 or something like that, so I'm set to get the shitty Sherman.

from Overlord's blog:

World of Tanks: Pre-Release Maintenance
World of Tanks goes live April 12, 2011.

The maintenance works are scheduled for 4:00 am UTC / 0:00 am EDT, April 12.
Esimated downtime - up to 18 hours.

Technical details of the upcoming hardwipe / full reset:

- Banned accounts (the ones on the non-selected server) created during the server-split on January 17 are to be removed.
- Social contacts are to be removed (friends and ingnore lists).
- Registered clans and their members are to be carried over to the release.
- Hardwipe / full reset is to be performed: experience, gold, credits, research progress, modules, equipment, achievements and medals are to be reset.
- Premium tanks for those players who registered using special CBT keys are to be assigned (extra slot included).
- CBT participants registered prior to 27 January 2011 00:00:00 UTC with 1.000 or more battles played according to profile statistics are to be rewarded with M4A2E4 gift tank (extra slot included).

Release version - 0.6.3.11. It will be available for downloading upon the server launch.

Damn, 18 hours? So basically it's going to up by 6 PM Tuesday EST. I guess that's not a bad time.

HOWEVER, KV-5 and Lowe are going to be available upun launch (as the launch version is 0.6.3.11 and the version with them is 0.6.3.10), so I'm pretty excited. Then again, I heard that both tanks cost like $5-7 real money, so maybe I'm not that excited...

[Sgt. Nuker]

It's "and". I received an email from wargaming.net saying that if I was a closed beta tester and had 1000 battles or more under my belt, that I was eligible for the CBT tank. If I remember right, I have twice that number in battles and I've been playing the beta since July of last year. Should I get the game, (and anyone else that has met these requirements get the game), the M4A2E4 will be in the garage.

[Kaido]

Gold worth legend.
Blue = Tier I: 240G or 10G/hour
Green = Tier II: 480G-720G or 20G-30G/hour
Yellow = Tier III: 960G-1200G or 40G-50G/hour
Red = Tier IV: 1920G-3840G or 80G-160/hour
Red with Yellow Dot = Tier V: 4080G-4560G or 170G-190G/hour (Wealthiest Provinces in the Game.)

Also the Russian test server have a test on the new update.

Wait you earn gold by holding territories?

It's going to suck when I elite a tank and can't exchange excess xp for free xp after the launch.

[Sgt. Nuker]

That's the idea Soul. Yet another thing that costs money so they generate revenue to go along with the money spent on premium tanks/accounts/ammo. Good thing the game is free to "buy".

Are those figures for the territories how much gold is generated per hour or what it costs to hold those territories? Probably the former, but I'm rather curious.

The KV-5 looks positively HUGE and in an incredibly bad way. Can you say target? I'm liking the Lowe the more I see it. I might just have to pick one up.

Its how much gold your clan gets

[NergiZed]

Shit, I wonder if we can get a clan going... Probably not...

I need to join a clan sometime then... :S

Back on topic for the world-map thing; I'm guessing the Teal/Aqua colored dots are the entry points to the world map.

No idea what the actual base color of the territories mean though, only the dots.

[Sgt. Nuker]

I've been putting some thought into joining or seeing if I can join the clan that Ultra is in. It's called The Triple Entente. I've played a few rounds with those gents and they seem like a good lot. Just putting that out there for consideration.

[Soul]

I may join them aswell, if they will accept me.

[V.Metalic]

Only a Sherman? I thoguht they were writing in that Email there will be 3 tanks from which you can choose... slag.

I will must really consider to join a clan... I want Lowe if possible.

Dont you know if all E-series tanks will be in this release? I know that GWE is finished, but about rest I dont know a thing.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Yes, "only" a Sherman. The other three tanks they mentioned were the tanks you get from pre-ordering the game when you select your desired package(s). Personally, for me, I got the heavy and medium packages, mostly for the gold, but that doesn't mean I won't give the M6A2E1 or Pz IV/V a spin.

I too will have a Lowe in my garage, and perhaps, if I can manage it, all of the German cats as well (Jadgpanther, Jadgtiger, Tiger I, Tiger II, Panther, Panther II, GW Panther, GW Tiger).

Nearest I can tell, not all of the E-series will be in the release. It looks like World of Tanks is omitting the E-10 and E-25, which is rather a shame, because those tank destroyers looked awesome, and I would be willing to bet they performed as such. The E-50, E-75, and the E-100 are slated to be put in the game at a later date, as they are in the full German tech tree. Judging by what's being discussed on the WoT forums, the E-series will see the light of day some time after the French tanks are introduced, which at the very least will not be for another 6-7 months (French tanks are supposed to be introduced in the next 4 or so months).

[V.Metalic]

Rawrrrrr... such a shitty boxes of noodles, which were not even able to kill a fly... Well, I must live with it, E-series is my #1 priority (probably beside GWE, that will be definitly a last one). Than I will see, overall German tanks are always my favorites, for their great design combined with great performance.

Same, I shall join if I can. How do you do that? Do I need an invite or do I need to go to the forum and sign up?

Yeah, I got the A-32. Not really anything special, but it's a free A-20-like tank, so that's nice, plus it comes with a slot and 10% off for the gold. I like the game and I don't mind giving them some money, so it's all good.

Gonna have a KV-5 and I'm going full-soviet for heavies and mediums, but probably German for arty, but I'll stop at the GW Panther.

Nope Nuker, take a closer look down in the premium section. E-10 and E-25 are both there

Edited by NergiZed, 11 April 2011 - 22:55.

[Sgt. Nuker]

As premium tanks....which is why it sucks. They technically should be part of the tech tree. I wonder what tier the E-10 and E-25 will be considering they're like the Hetzer and Jadgpanzer IV, just a bit bigger and have better stats.

Tier 3-5 I guess, they will be the best German TDs of this tier, thats what I think

[NergiZed]

Clickly for the Triple Entante recruitment thread.

I'll probably drop a post in there sometime, but I think I'll wait for at least one other FS memeber to join (most likely after Nuker or Soul)

Here's their forum

Instructions on how to join their clan. Teamspeak addr, some passwords and whatnot.

Edited by NergiZed, 12 April 2011 - 00:38.

[Sgt. Nuker]

I joined, but the forum will not allow me to post an application. Looks like I'll have to go into a chat with them.

[NergiZed]

Just joined. No point in posting anything though, since the wipe is going to occue in three hours. I however, can indeed post things.

Tested the teamspeak channels, works wonders.
