Ok, how about this?

1) Repair, refuel, hotwire tank
2) Drive off in the tank
3) You have a tank.

Point 1 might take a bit of time, ofc.

Why did my battle end in a draw when we captured the base? It was a standard battle on Ensk.

I'm kind of annoyed because I was in my Churchill III and thought I had satisfied all the conditions for HT-7. I did 1200 damage and got 3 capture points. We captured the base and the match ended. There were enemy tanks still alive. What am I missing? How is that a draw? They didn't capture.

edit: nevermind, I watched the replay and they did capture. Motherfucker!

World of Tanks chibi-mode howto:

open %appdata%\wargaming.net\worldoftanks\preferences.xml
locate the <aspectRatio> tag
change <aspectRatio> to a little over 1,5 times what you had before (i went from 1.600000 (16:10) to 2.6)
enjoy



This could probably also be used to run the game in portrait mode but really now just look at that T69 :3:

Vaguely remember a GiP poster that drove a Abrams saying tanks don't have keys - they're padlocked from the outside. I wonder if that's always been the case.

Why would you have keys to be able to run a tank?

Tanks are high maintenance at the best of times without adding squaddies loosing keys, damaging keys, damaging the lock, having the wrong key for the tank when the Russians are only ten miles away etc etc.

As tanks should always be under guard when no one is in them just have a button to start them.

Unless you are a defense contractor and want to sell magical key and immobiliser systems for tanks with a damage resistant key all for the low price of $250,000 per tank (using GM or Ford technology).

Also what happens when a bunch of squaddies decide to go to the nearest McDonalds drive through after an exercise in their Scorpion light tanks?

Seems they turned you into an alpha tester for some reason.

I played with an NA code for the beta weekend. I get an Error 403: Access denied on the EU link, and if I change it to .com I get Access Restricted.

I don't think I'd be able to log in even if I had the client, but thanks for offering.

I feel your pain. I finally did ht-15 for the t28 concept campaign. Only to lose the game after doing 5k dmg blocking 7k dmg and dieing with 6 friendly tanks at full health left and 4 enemy tanks left that were half life. When I left game thinking this one is in the bag I joined another game only to find out we had lost that game. Thanks secondary mission for screwing me now I must redo this mission :(

I hate all the missions where your team needs to win. All the pubbies are whining about the platoon requirements in the "individual missions" but they don't whine about needing your team to win? It isn't like any of them believe that one individual can cause a win\loss.

Someone who isn't in the beta try this and see if it works. I wonder if it's just that they let people with beta access into it or if it's accessible from regular wargaming accounts. I don't have any bandwidth allowance until next month or I'd try it myself.

It didn't work for me. I guess I should have played more than a handful of battles on the weekend. :v:

On the other hand, is the T69 as good as the test server makes it seem to be? My first game in it was 5-kill, 4000 damage :stare:.
I think I'm going to get it whether it is or not.
