TeamSpeak is dead, All hail Discord! We are switching to a different platform and change is good! You can run it in the browser, from a stand alone app or even on your mobile device. The VOIP has been really good quality as well. Minus the shitload of custom tags we had in TS this does the job and it's free plus I don't have people pissed off at me about the server status. https://discord.gg/0lSMRHzXe08HHOgr We are cohabitating with the World of Tanks & Warships TeamSpeak server and the TS address is 209.15.226.35:10937 and no password required at the request of the populous because using passwords is apparently hard. Due to that reason a complicated system of permissions that is making some of us pull our hair out had to be developed.. thanks goons. Any verified goon can give you permissions & tags, create your own channel and have at it. If you need us to create a specific channel please feel free to ask as well and mods will be happy to accommodate your request within reason i.e. no channel names or descriptions that promote hate speech and all that. Use common sense when you ask in other words. There is an Armored Warfare beta test channel if you are playing and do not want to deal with shitters all by your lonesome. What is Armored Warfare is yet another online shooter similar to the game we all love to hate, World of Tanks.. except this time the graphics aren't nearly so lovely, the tanks are modern and arty does not rain down it's cancerous love down from the sky quite as vicious as some claim it to be in WoT. The game developer is Obsidian Entertainment - yes the same guys as South Park: The Stick of Truth, Fallout New Vegas and some random Neverwinter Nights 2 titles I never cared for. Even though Obsidian is the developer, it's Russian just like WoT and published by Mail.RU which makes even less sense and you will probably be infected by some horrible virus but whatever. What kind of tanks are in this game? The main focus here are modern era (1950's to current) military combat vehicles including main battle tanks (MBT's), lightly armored recon vehicles (AFV's), and assortment of light tanks, tank destroyers and everyone's favorite.. artillery! Just look at the size of this loving cannon? Look at it!! How is this different for that 'other' tank game? It's not, I mean really how much can you do to reinvent the wheel? What it does offer is a different spin on the game with a destructible environment, a couple of seedy vendors to upgrade your tanks and the promise of some different twists in the upgrade path, HQ customizing and playing as a private military contractor. I want to drag my friends into this, I want in.. Currently you can only get into the alpha, beta or whatever the gently caress they call it by buying a pre-order package on the site. Yes, give them money to let you play a game in beta, I know. Conversely if you submitted your name months ago and were selected to participate then you are already playing and don't need to read any of this. I am unsociable and don't get along with others, how do I survive in a team game? Good news just like every other game out there it's 15 vs. 14 vs. you. Teamwork consists of 14 individuals hell bent on their own agenda, losing at all costs. You can however form a 3-man platoon and hope to beat not only the opposing forces but your own team to gain glory on the pixel battlefield. Eventually the game will offer both PvP and PvE environments so the best of both worlds sort of? I'll add more to it as information becomes available but my initial impressions are positive. The developer seems to me more involved with the community at this point which could be seen good and bad if every whine of "NERF THIS TANK ITS TOO OPPEEEE" brings doom then meh. The game still needs optimization but runs pretty smooth on my mid-range machine. It's running on the Cry Engine which for most is well known and stable with decent graphics. More information at their website, just have your antivirus up to date because #russianhackersarereal. And here is an entire page of FAQ's by the developer that will make all your dreams come true. You want screens? We have screens! These are in-game garage screens. http://imgur.com/a/GILP6 demonR6 fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jan 17, 2016 |

UPDATE! 2.0 is here! I've quit this game just like everything else in my life except meth so just what the hell is this 2.0 update and why do I care? Well have we got news for you. Obsidian was donkey punched in the nuts a few months ago and My.com took over, the game went back to Russia and we know their track record with tank games? Update 2.0 is an attempt to fixed a hosed game by implementing some fix to balancing. In order to do this everything will go back to square one and the devs will un-gently caress everything bad that has happened so far. *insert laugh track* So a few things will happen in order to save the sinking ship: - Soft reset - Vehicles will be removed, some will be added, some will be down tiered. You might log in and find some vehicles will be wiped back to zero and all your progression is gone along with the spent reputation but fear not they will compensate you with credits. - Vehicle progression line changes - My.com's crack team of developers will move vehicles around in tiers while others disappear altogether. Trust me this is in our best interest according to them. Along with these changes there will be new vehicles added and they promise it will be more enjoyable for players. - Graphics improvements - Sure, great. I never had a problem so I guess this applies to scrubs with lovely computers. - Gameplay mechanics - Too much to list but they had to fix a lot to make things better. Stuff like ammo mechanics, AP, HEAT, HESH and HE shell damage get tweaked, vehicle armor & hit points will be rebalanced and a bunch of other poo poo. The list is long and quite ambitious. There is an entire microsite for the changes linked here. https://aw.my.com/us/news/general/introducing-update-019-tanks-reloaded ===== Useful Information ===== Look into wherever you installed the game and delete the torrent files so that you do not continue seeding after installation. The My.com launcher does not stop the seeding even if you deselect the option to continue seeding after you finish installing. Whatever directory you installed into > Distrib > torrents (delete contents) Thanks Agrajag! ===== Tank Commanders List ===== Thanks to Evil_Greven for this list, follow the link to his post with all the commanders as of 10/11/15 Evil_Greven posted:Here are the commanders (I think this is all available right now?): ===== Retrofits & You ===== Snakes in a can posted:Just a warning, i still have no idea how these interact with each other or if they even work open beta and all; (do they stack, is there a stacking penalty or do they multiply their effects?) ===== Scouting 101 ===== Third World Reggin posted:To be a good scout Great observation on tier 6 tanks at the moment but YMMV: NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:I've now got every tier 6 in the game.

I created a battalion, their version on a clan and named it... DONG. This is already much more pleasurable than last test with the graphics optimization, ability to tweak the GUI plus other improvements to gameplay. We had fun running a 3-man and just rampaging through in our Scorpions killing people with run-and-gun carousel of death tactics. What I really want to do is take some of the clan names like Chai, Roxy and the others that will get bent about it when it is not available. The chats I can imagine will be really really interesting. "Hey that is our clan name.." "No it's not." "We use it in WoT and blah blah.." "Okay, well it's mine now. Nyah nyah." demonR6 fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Jun 11, 2015 |

There was a 329 MB update this morning. Not that it will fix your issue x. I am pretty sure you can run a game integrity check from the My.com dashboard. Open the My.com launcher, after you update the client from the Play drop down you have the option to 'Verify and fix installed game client files'.. try that? demonR6 fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Jun 11, 2015 |

The My.com launcher will open even when the servers are no online and you can update the client and run the integrity check as well. I did that for shits & giggles before suggesting it to you. Also anyone who reads this and decides to look at it and sees the 'Delete game installation files' option, FYI removing that saves you 24 Gb but also forces you to download the entire package on the next update. This last patch was almost 11 Gb and if I had removed the game install files it would have been double the wait. Battalion snipe bwahahaha... demonR6 fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jun 11, 2015 |

When you play the LAV-150 be sure to pack the HE incendiary rounds.. anyone you hit will burn, even the MBT's like the T-62. When they catch on fire, even for an insignificant amount they tend to run because fire extinguishers are hard. I have burned down a few Scorpions who thought they had the upper hand then burst into flames.

gently caress me last night was a miserable gaming night. I think our platoon lost every match and they were all run away, one-sided poo poo fests where half the team was wiped out before we even had a chance to get into position. The culmination of the evening was running into the three fucktards from PBKAC who had a tier 7, 6 & 5 top tier in a tier 3 match. We were thoroughly and completely poo poo on. Everything I shot at the tier 7 was a ricochet.. three full on side shots from the M60 which should have done something. We switched to botes and that was not better so we quit for the evening. I can't do failcascades anymore like I used to.

Warbadger posted:They upped the XP and credits gained per battle by a ton. You'll blow through the early tiers. What he said ^.. Also the lower tiers you can enjoy the hell out of a fully decked Scorpion or hell the LAV-150 with incendiary rounds like I mentioned a few posts earlier. Pubbies panic when they are set on fire even if it is just a few ticks of damage.. but when every shot connects each time they poke out and they are on fire all the time it is absolute gold.

Sounds like you are having a similar experience. "Oh poo poo, what the gently caress happened to our team? They're all dead?!" We had almost back to back maps I think where our top tier MBT would yolo out front without support and get killed and two minutes later we are down 8 tanks to none.

So for example switching AP to HE cuts the reload so that every 2 seconds I am reloaded or switch the shell then back to make it 2 seconds? If the first is the car then you could run the different AP shells and cycle through them.

I'm using an Nvidia 660Ti with an i5 2500k and 16Gb of ram. I can run at about mid right now with 60 FPS. I disabled core 1 on a recommendation to try and solve some performance issues and it seems to have helped. There was some optimization since the last patch though.

Well thanks for ruining that for me. I was waiting to hear "mobile xvideo card and mobile yCPU".. party pooper. LAV-300 is fun. I have not unlocked any of the upgrades except for the two first shells, it's like 10k for the gun and I can imagine the subsequent shells will be up there too. When you sink a good shot it deals damage otherwise they are meh but enough to make some MBT's think twice. I really want the Centauro again.. then I will be much more happy. demonR6 fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Jun 15, 2015 |

Yeah I have to give them credit they are good at keeping the community informed of things. I PM'ed one of them via the forum about a player I recorded who may have been hacking asking where I should sent the link to and he replied within minutes. He even came back hours later to tell me they were looking into it further, asked me a couple of questions and thanked me for bringing it to his attention. I received yet another PM yesterday evening from the person on the dev team who was reviewing it and he cleared it up for me.. even though I was still skeptical of the explanation and the outcome but again, they went to great lengths unlike WG where your support tickets are replied to six months later as 'Thank you but gently caress off.'

When you launch from the My Com launcher you will get two mycom.game executables and one ArmoredWarfare.exe. So in taskmon you should see at least the two mycom.game exes.

Thronde posted:Issue is the game doesn't load at all. Nothing. I can leave it for however long and it will never go into the game. It just sits on desktop and the process goes on endlessly. I've completely wiped all install files and everything, reinstalled, and it still does it. So do you get either the mycom.game or AW executable running in the background? I would check the forum to see if anyone else had bug reported that or maybe if someone has a suggestion to remedy it. I'm out right now else I would check the forum as well.

Scorpion is a fun go-fast and sucker punch MBT's when they are engaged with other vehicle and cannot blow you to pieces. Also it is really good for loving up other lights that cannot keep up with it. If you learn how to be really effective shooting on the move with it you will enjoy it loads and in a platoon it can be a blast.
