Tja, gute teams in wot sind ne seltenheit.
Schade, nervige maps wie campinovka wären viel spaßiger mit halbwegs brauchbaren teams.
Wenn mans schafft die z.b. zu nem 2 minuten rush zu überzeugen gewinnt man campinovka sehr leicht und schnell.

btw, endlich das tank hunter achivement bekommen, hab mich schonn gefragt wieviele tiger ich noch abballern muß.
Die Tiger fahrer tun mir echt leid,die dinger fangen an zu brennen wenn man sie streng anschaut.

Mal ne blöde Frage: Alle jammern hier über mangelnde Teamfähigkeit. Wie wäre es, wenn IHR, ich meine ja nur, ein ..äh ... Team bilden würdet? Oder geht das in WoT nicht so einfach?

[Accipiter]

Ich war gestern leider nicht am Rechner, als jondalar01 (wer war das noch mal?) eingeladen hat. Ansonsten kriegst Du in einem Platoon maximal vier Mann unter, diese müssen zwischen den Matches natürlich warten bis alle tot sind oder die Runde zu Ende ist. Zudem wird der Seite mit einem oder mehreren Platoons beim Balancing ein wenig abgezogen. Das war es aber auch. Ich hätte mal Lust für ein Dreierteam SPGs mit dem A-32 zu scouten

Man kann maximal 3er Teams bilden, die dann auch sicher zusammen in die Matches ziehen. Und 3/15 ist halt nicht gerade mächtig, um wirklich Einfluss zu haben.
Aber ja, wir hängen im TS rum und machen das zumindest.

Wobei statt Taktik meist geflucht wird.  

Achja, X, gestern habe ich nur meine DoubleXP-Matches durchgezogen und Kumpels das Spiel gezeigt, danach sind wir dann los, also deshalb keine Zeit für Team gehabt.
Hab sogar beide Matches gewonnen und jeweils mit gleichen 22 HP überlebt.
Wie chattet man in WOT eigentlich? Wollte Dir ne Antwort auf die Einladung schicken, aber wusste nicht wie.

Rechte Maus auf den Namen in der Freundesliste und dann Start privat Chat oder so.

[Ronnie Drew]

ich hab noch nicht mal die Option einer Friendlist gefunden, hatte gestern aber auch kaum Zeit, schau's mir heute nochmal an.

[Sky]

War das nicht so, dass man nur Teams bilden kann, wenn einer bezahlt?

[Ronnie Drew]

Zumindest X und ich haben Premiumaccount.

Ich verwende den hier (http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/27334-pogs-contour-icon-2-mod/) da er die Werte der Panzer anzeigt und recht deutlich ist. Gibt eine recht neue Version davon wie ich sehe:

http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/37408-pogs-icon-mod-4/

Ist aber leider eine Verschlechterung gegenüber der alten Version. Daher empfehle ich derzeit die Version 3.2:

hahaha.
Ok ebend mit einem wirklich miesen matchmaking-fail gestartet, siehe bild unten. Als ich tot war und raus bin, hatten wir noch 4 tanks, die gegner noch 7, u.a. 2 is 3, eine davon auf 4% eine ca 70%. Das gegnerteam hat sich im chat die ganze zeit "unterhalten" wieviel % unsere verbliebenen tanks n0och haben und auf den sieg gefreut. Ich hab das auch als sicheren l00se abgetan und bin raus.
Merke: es gibt immer ein team was noch beschissener spielt als das eigene, das gegnerteam.

Victory!

Vehicles and balance. General:

- Fixed hitboxes for the following tanks: IS-7, Jagdpanther, Tiger, Tiger II, VK4502, Ferdinand, Jagdtiger, Panther II, M41, T2 Med.

- Readjusted visibility parameters of all vehicles while standing still and on the move.
- Readjusted visibility of all guns when firing.

- Readjusted shell velocity for all shells: fixed errors, improved gameplay balance.
- Introduced detailed damage mechanics for tracks. Reworked durability of tracks and repair time for all vehicles.
- Increased match-making value for tier 9 medium tanks.

Combat mechanics:
- Added extra checkpoints on tank models for more accurate visibility checks.
- Readjusted visibility calculation for multiple bushes if they are within 15m range away from the vehicle.
- Engine now catches fire, if is has received certain fixed amount of damage, which is the same for all vehicles. The purpose is to reduce the ability of low-tier automatic guns to cause engine fire.
- Changed fuel tanks fire mechanics. It catches fire when it is destroyed now. It can’t be put on fire after a regular hit.
- Changed mechanics of "Fill tanks with CO2" equipment, now it increases durability of fuel tank.
- Changed firefighting mechanics: fire strength decreases with each second. The exact value differs from vehicle to vehicle and is multiplied by average crew firefighting skill. As soon as fire strength reaches zero (and the vehicle is not destroyed), the fire is put out.
- Changed effect for credit and gold first aid kits, repair kits and fire extinguishers:
 Credit repair kit will fix 1 chosen damaged module until the end of battle. Gold will repair all currently damaged modules until the end of battle.
You can put both repair kits on the same tank together.
First aid kits work similar to repair kits.
Credit fire extinguisher will extinguish fire immediately after you manually activate it – by pressing its button ingame.
Gold fire extinguisher will automatically extinguish fire 0.5 seconds after tank catches fire and will reduce chance of catching fire by 10%.
- "Extra combat rations", "Case of cola", "Chocolate" consumables are now automatically activated at the beginning of the battle.
- "Removed speed governor" equipment now damages the engine 50% faster.
- Changed damage mechanics for tracks. You can damage tracks if you hit the leading or the rearmost wheel of the tank. It will be much more difficult to detrack it by hitting middle part of the tank.

- Added first version of moving wrecks of destroyed vehicles.
- Fixed hitboxes of several open top SPGs during a minor contact (ramming) with other vehicles

- Fixed the condition of getting Fadin's Medal which wasn’t granted when the tank was destroyed by splash wave or fire.
- Fixed the discrepancy between arcade and sniper reticle, when the tank is positioned on a slope.

Non-combat mechanics:
- Added the possibility of dismounting nondemountable equipment ("Rammer", "Coated Optics" and other) for 10 gold. To dismount it, click the module and choose “dismount equipment” option at the end of the dropdown list.
- Now when leveling the crew (on an elite tank with marked “Rapid crew training”) – bonus experience received for the crew is given to the least experienced crew member. The estimation is based on the general experience (not on the basis of skills percentage); if several crew members have equal values, the first one is chosen.
 - Added the automated ban system for teamkillers.

Na schaun wir mal.
Das spotting system hat mich in der release version generft. Vieleicht bekommen sies mit dem patch besser hin.
Auserdem hoffe ich mal das man jetzt nicht mehr bei jedem zweiten treffer die ketten verliert.

[Hurz]

Bin auch gespannt wie diese (eigentlich kleinen) Änderungen das Spiel ändern - es könnte deutlich zu merken sein. Bisher gibt es aber den Patch noch nicht mal zum herunterladen ... die Wartung wird wohl noch deutlich länger brauchen.

soweit ich das gehört/gelesen habe wird das spotting deutlich verbessert, es wird jetzt nicht nur oben / mitte / unten gecheckt (quasi 3 linien vom eigenen turm zum gegner mit visibility check) sondern vorne und hinten auch. dadurch "springen" ungespottete fahrzeuge nicht vorm felsen hervor wie bisher. ausserdem werden wohl die checks öfter als nur all ~10 sek durchgeführt.

ketten kann man neu angeblich nur noch mit nem schuss auf das vordere bzw hintere rad "abhängen", seitlich wirds kaum noch gehen. bisher hat fast jeder seitliche treffer die ketten abgehängt.

bin auch mal gespannt.


übrigens kann man doch auch companies ersellen? mit den vollen 15 mann und dann gegen andere spielen? oder habe ich das falsch verstanden im tutorial-video?
