So, uh...what can be deleted in the Distrib/packages/aw_mycom_beta folder? Because I've got 17.6GB sitting in there from patches dating back to the 10th of June.

That's the install files, so all that stuff. There's actually an option in the launcher that does it for you I think? e: yeah if you click the dropdown arrow next to the play button there's a delete installation files option.

I have a problem with bright red zones on tanks where there should be normal textures. It usually manifests itself as bright red tracks or mantlets, or in the case of the Sheridan, the whole thing. Anyone know what causes this?

Pretty sure it's missing textures. What I don't know is how to fix it. Maybe I should reinstall.

In world of tanks, the land would get red patches years ago. The cause was a memory leak which made the game run out of texture space so got red instead. Is this a first launch issue or after several games? If at launch, I don't know and perhaps post it up on their forums if you haven't already.

Okay, so I'm trying to log in and get "Failed to Connect to Authorization Server" - is this a 'thing' people are getting routinely? I've tried logging out and logging back in on the launcher, and I still get the message. EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see that the currently-online server is EU.

Welp, T6 prems are unlocked now. Seen some BMPT Terminators and holy poo poo that thing is ridiculous. The turret takes significantly less damage when hit compared to normal penetrations (like seemingly all unmanned turrets), the hull is the same as that of the T-90 two tiers higher (inluding the heavy ERA), it moves almost as fast as a light tank, the twin autocannons shred light vees like nothing and while the ATGMs take 24 seconds to load, it can then fire four of them without reloading.

So is it worth it to get a founder's pack or should I just wait until the game is released? I'd love to drive some modern tanks around and blow stuff up even if it's a little arcadey.

I threw money at it because I like to impulse buy and sometimes make bad decisions. Having played since early on would I make the same decision? Likely. If you are one of those with high expectations and would be upset that it's not 100% ready to go them this is not for you. There's already countless numbers of shitlords bitching about the game not to their liking and demanding refunds... don't be one of those shitters.

The terminator is hilarious. It has some strange as gently caress armor and a funky autoloading atgm thing. You can roll around a corner, dump 4 missiles into a pubbie and drive away. Also you get the afv damage bonus. MBT-70 is ballin, drive around at 50 kp/h everywhere.

Terminator has a T-90 hull including the heavy Explosive Reactive Armor on the front. You can lose the panels if you get hit enough, but until then you can basically ignore anything using HEAT (the ERA panels count as something like 1000mm of armor vs HEAT and laugh off any ATGM or HEAT shell currently in the game) and KE has noticeably more problems penning you. The turret is unmanned and tends to take vastly reduced damage from most tings despite having little armor. The ATGMs aren't kinda autoloading because you have four tubes. The twin autocannons are pretty dope, too. They shred other AFVs and amny TDs and light tanks and can even pen MBTs from the sides or rear sometimes. In PVP, I actually msotly use the autocannons with AP ammo and you can easily rack up beyond 20k damage over the three stages on medium difficulty.

So in other words, barring a nerf, which will probably not come for months because the BMP Terminator is a LoW-specific tank, it'll basically be a "gently caress you, I have discretionary income" premium that will enrage those who couldn't convince Mom to give up her credit card.

Nah it's not even nearly that bad, it's a really great tank if you know how to play it I think but I've been shredding them left and right in pretty much everything I drive because people are incredibly overconfident. Also they really draw shells like a giant magnet, if a terminator pops up on the map suddenly everyone is firing at it and the turret is a (reduced damage) autopen for basically every tank in the game including autocannon afvs and poo poo. The mbt-70 is probably the strongest tank out of the group because it's got almost a light tank's maneuverability and profile, but very strong armor and a high alpha high pen gun, so you can do things like trade shots with a guy on one side and then in the 10 seconds it takes to reload you can get basically to the other side of a map of that's where you're needed, or just keep slugging it out with whatever you're fighting. Also you've got to remember that these are still beta versions of these tanks, and this is the first time they've been out in the wild, so they obviously want to take a look at how they're balanced and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they both get toned down a bunch.

The MBT-70 is weirdly mobile considering the other MBTs. Really wish the similarly mobile IRL tanks that came from the same project were also mobile like it is. Or MBTs that were IRL more mobile than the MBT-70 could be at lest that mobile (T-72 and Leopard 1 I'm looking at you). The gun is also pretty amazing at the tier, with very high alpha. And yeah, the Terminator is hilariously OP. Like, you can faceroll equal-tier MBTs because you have absurd armor, your autocannon actually does great DPS even against armor it can't pen while using HE ammo, and the only place that doesn't have absurd armor (parts of the turret) also happen to take 1/3rd normal damage with no critical subsystems in it (despite hosting every loving weapon on the tank you will never disable its weapons). Oh right, and a good part of the front of the turret is also heavily armored, so you can jink back and forth to protect the unarmored areas of the turret while facerolling people. It's also extremely fast, agile, and with a very high vision radius. Literally the only downside to the thing is its relatively low HP, but welp, you have the armor of an upgraded Tier 8 MBT on your ATGM-carrier-AFV in tier 6 so.... Edit: Also twice the camo as the T-90 and nearly as much camo as the LAV-150, despite having a tall, boxy turret on a T-90 hull. Because it needed that, too.

Yeah there was word early on that the t6 premium terminator was gonna be the prototype one based on the t-72 hull which would have been totally fine (still pretty strong, I guess, but pretty manageable at t6), and the tier 8 non premium one was gonna be the full monty with the t-90 hull, but i'm not sure if they changed that or this is still placeholder stats or what.

The hull is 248/165/80 with 1.7xAP/1.7xHE/2.8xHEAT modifiers. It actually has significantly better side armor than the T-90.

Holy poo poo, the Begleitpanzer 57 is in right now for everyone and will be in the regular tech tree on release.  Light tank class with a 57mm autocannon (that can load HEAT ammo with 115mm penetration and 230 damage in clips of 8 shots) and TOWs. Christ, they're really picking out some exotic stuff. Edit: Trip report with it: It's a real blast. Imagine a WoT french light tank, except with smoke launchers and TOW missiles on top of the autoloader gun. It's a beast in-close. HEAT ammo for the gun will blow through the front of most non-MBT targets you meet (and the Leopard 1) with a good angle and 8 shots in the magazine are enough to outright chew a full-health MBT apart at T4 if you get some good damage rolls. Good speed and accelleration, somewhat wide turning radius, though. Front armor will sometimes bounce low-calibre autocannons. The only dawback are long relaod on the mags (~13.5 seconds without bonuses), comparatively crappy gun depression and a turret with a mediocre turning rate that seems inordinately vulnerable to getting damaged.

So I got a bit of free time to play again (internet in Istanbul is actually reliable) and thought about a few of the issues that have been bugging me about AW. 1) It plays very, very similarly to WoT. That's not a good thing if they want to pull people out of WoT where they already have established social circles, clans, unlocked tanks, etc. 2) It's actually a bit more arcade-y than WoT with some pretty arbitrary mechanics thrown in for the sake of dividing things into different classes that feel a bit contrived. Tier and class determine what your tank does while the attributes of the actual tank (aside from appearance) don't seem to matter. For example: -The "light tanks" can fire accurately on the move, even the old ones with lovely or no gun stabilizers. Main battle tanks, however, have to stop a few seconds to shoot with any kind of accuracy, even the ultra-modern ones with computerized fire-control systems and fully stabilized guns. -Every MBT is also drat near blind, with super short view ranges compared to every other vehicle class regardless of the real life optics/sensor suites/whatever. Similarly the camo values seem more based upon vehicle class than anything to do with the dimensions of the vehicle. The big, boxy AFV with a 10 foot tall turret on an MBT hull is twice as hard to spot as short, compact MBT with the exact same hull but a much smaller turret. 3) There's a massive difference in power between the tiers. One tier is about a 20-25% statistical advantage in both HP and damage. So without even factoring in poo poo like higher tier vehicles having better armor/mobility/gadgets a dude one tier over you is sporting a 50% statistical advantage. That's huge. Two tiers over you? Enjoy trying to find a place on his tank to tickle him to death before he 2 shots you! This is the one that really bothers me, personally. 4) Artillery is still pretty annoying and more or less functions like WoT artillery (accurate/fast reload/high DPS rather than inaccurate/slow reload/high alpha damage). The cycle of nerfs is already in full swing and camping behind tall things ala WoT has become a thing in this game whenever you get a few arty around. I don't know why they'd have shoved artillery into this game with a WoT-ish implementation given the balance problems and community vitriol it produced in WoT. Obviously you also have the usual balance issues and such, but that's not really a core issue. Unless they keep letting things like the Terminator out into the wild, of course.

Fast, nice accuracy on the move, horrifying DPM (the gun has like 6 second reloads), unmanned turret that takes reduced damage. Somewhat awkward turning radius, dogshit gun elevation/depression and functionally no armor whatsoever.
