10.06.2015 Q&A

A nasty butthurt is going around the Russian World of Warplanes community. The developers of World of Warplanes are located in Ukraine and several (about a dozen) of their members posted anti-Russian stuff on their social networks (including a photography of a tank barrel that says KILL RUSSIANS or something like that) - most of it is however very mild. Russians started shitting bricks and whining on Livejournal. There is no official Wargaming reaction to the incident.

- Regarding the fight with illegal mods, according to Storm there is no reliable way of making the client not run when its files were edited;
- Storm comments that other games such as Armored Warfare and War Thunder have no need to fight banned mods because they have so low online numbers that nobody gives a crap about doing banned mods for them anyway but large projects (such as World of Tanks) already present a viable market for malicious mod makers who sell their creations to many players and make money off it;
- Regarding the appearance of Skoda T 40 - Q: "Silentstalker, are you happy (it's here)?" A (Yuri Pasholok): "Generally speaking Frank built that tree himself. "Eurowargaming..." "



And the daily, real life Halo Warthog visits joint base Lewis McChord:

How well Wargaming support works

Hello warriors, I will just leave this here. It started with...


After the battle...




and the result of support inquiry?




So yes, mass-reporting a player for unsportsmanlike behavior works.

Czechoslovaks are coming

First Czechoslovak branch tank in the game - Škoda T 40. Armed with 88mm gun.


Suicide bombers blow themselves up

This is probably gonna be one of the few times that I will be going a tad off topic in the blog but really felt like sharing this,

near Khayam Chowk in Sargodha, Pakistan's Punjab, two would-be suicide bombers that were sitting together on a bench engaged in a discussion and blown themselves up after an improvised explosive device got triggered while they fought each other.

Rescue workers removing the bodies from the site.
The Sargodha district police office suggested divine intervention may have saved the city from a big loss.

I find this video suitable as a response to the incident:

"Artillery" BT-7 Screenshots Part 2

Hello Warriors,

Domination Points Bug

Hello Warriors,

One of you, Vernyik B. emailed me with a very interesting bug, gonna quote his words:

"My teammates managed to get the flag in the circle 5-6 sec before the end of the game, aparently that time wasn't enough for the in-game point calculator but in the endgame stats its added to our points. So the awkward situation is, that we have more points, than the enemy but its still a battle lost. GG WG... again.."


Got the curiosity to do a fast search on my email on Domination mode bugs and apparently there is plenty more people sharing the same bug, like Gigawot case:


Thank you guys.
