I understand that the game uses a realistic model of armor of each tank. If I take a hit on the left side, then rotate 180 degrees to show my right side, will I have fresh armor to take a hit? Also, is there any way to get gold without paying $$?
One of the guys on my team was following and shooting me so I turned around and shot back. He blew up and I'm banned for a day. What BS! It's my free premium day too. They should at least tell you that will happen during the tutorial.
That's unfortunate but we had an earlier discussion about team killing. A couple of people had gotten killed by team mates and were a bit annoyed. Obviously enough. They had/have measures in place where offenders were black marked for it and repeated offenders got long or short term bans. The system could also detect accidental or fully on purpose team kills. From what you say it sounds like they've tightened up the system recently which I was unaware of. It probably got a bit out of hand so they had to. You're particular case sounds a bit harsh. If you use the ingame support to explain you're case, they'll probably sort it out. Its worth a shot anyway. It obviously was an intentional kill on your part but you were retaliating so maybe you have a shot. If it happens again, its best to just let the guy kill you. When someone kills a team mate they get indicated in blue and become a free for all for anybody without repercussions. I must check up and see what they changed and if anything noteworthy comes up , I'll let ye know. Edit. Just did a quick check and it seems there was a lot of reporting of team killers in the system. They tightened up the algorithm that detects it and hands out short term bans due to the range of people taking that action. The good news is that if you kill a team mate, you're in trouble. The bad news, be much more careful of accidental kills. It still detects them but because the algorithm is tightened up, you never know. It will get further tweaks seemly but caution is advised. It used to be that a team killer got a blue icon and you could kill them. They still get a blue icon but it looks like it might be a blanket team killer system so its best to let it go and let the system take care of them. Also as a note, a team killer does get punished financially in game currency by having to bear the cost of you're own repairs as well so they gain nothing from it and in fact lose more. Its best that they have tightened the team killer thing for the most part but obviously be careful of accidental kills. And obviously enough, tweaks will be ongoing. It does seem that it was necessary as the number of team killer events has climbed substantially.
Just tried this and well I wasn't really impressed. For anyone that likes this, I would suggest having a look at Battle Supremacy as it's way better imo.
Yeah I don't get it. This was the first time I fired on a teammate. Hell I just started playing today. I checked their support site and it pretty clearly states there is nothing I can do. What I don't get is, if they don't want people firing on teammates, which I am also opposed to, why not just yaknow, make it so you can't??? Anyway, this has soured me significantly on the game. I was having fun but am probably done now.
I also have Battle Supremacy and find it to be an excellent game. I have everything them guys from Atypical have done and definitely consider them one of the top iOS developers. Not to cast aspersions on them, because obviously I support them a lot, I'm finding this one more enjoyable to me personally. But I'd agree that people should also try out Battle Supremacy if they are looking for tank game. It is top notch. This one just captured me more and I personally find it very impressive. I wouldn't quite give up just because of that. Just don't intentionally kill a team mate again and let the system ban them. Its unfortunate yes without a doubt but the systems have definitely been tightened, over tightened probably but being able to destroy team mates is one of the realistic elements and mechanics that means you have to be a bit more tactical. People have always asked about it in the PC version as well and the reply has always been that it is a realistic element of the game and one of the core mechanics. It doesn't mean they want you to do it, it more means they want you to be aware of your actions. Anyway, the PC one went through many tweaks in that area and this one will as well. Just don't ever intentionally kill a team mate and it'll be fine. Accidental kills that possibly result in short term bans will end up getting a reaction so they will have to rebalance in that area if it becomes an issue, but intentional ones will always end up the same way. The algorithm is pretty good at recognising the differences between intentional and accidental so far.
The friendly fire in the game is fine by me as it encourages my teammates to be more careful and not get in my line of fire. If a teammate shot me once then I would ignore it and not fire back at him as it could be a accident
I'm constantly getting rammed by team mates after the startup countdown. Really starting to get old, especially when they hit you hard enought to leave you going in a direction you do not want to be going. One time a guy in an m4 actually deliberately pushed my much smaller tank out of some cover cause he wanted the spot. I have battle supremacy. I really hate how it's like wave after wave, and endless respawning in multi. I prefer the 1 life per match in WoT.
What is the 2star icon that appears periodically with some of my tanks in the garage? I'm guessing its a double XP battle? Any benefit to keeping a tank once you research everything and it gains elite status?
The "2x" that appears over a tank indicates that you earn double xp for your first win in that tank for the day. It resets at 6am and 6pm CEST every day. I think that's the times at the moment. It used to be three times a day but it seems to be two now. I haven't been watching it too closely so I'm not 100% sure of the exact times. Once it gains elite status, you can convert all xp earned on it to the free xp category and use it on any tank for upgrades. I find it very useful but you will need gold to convert it to free xp so it depends on whether you want to buy gold or not. Also, some tanks are just a lot of fun and are worth keeping for that alone but more importantly it's also best to have a tank for each tier kept because you'll always be able to get a match in any tier rather than limiting your options to specific tiers and ending up waiting for matchmaking if you only have high tier tanks. Not yet. It's being worked on and will come in a future update. It's not going to be soon though as far as I can tell but you never know. They are working on it but they are trying to make sure its properly integrated to the code set up they have for touch. It basically means when you are beside an enemy tank and the sides of both tanks are touching. It's very effective against certain tanks that don't have rotatable turrets so they can't fire at you as you have them trapped beside you while you can fore away at them if you're tank has the rotatable turret. Tanks destroyers are generally the ones you want to use this tactic with if you are in a tight spot and close enough to them to get there without being shot by them. Obviously you have to be careful with it because you can get trapped as well if you're near an object and you destroy them because they're team will pick you off in that trapped position.
I'm starting to think the "shot effectiveness" stat is misleading. Or I'm not sure what it means to begin with.
I have a Marder ll and the match making always puts me in with tier2 tanks and I can't compete with them even if I hit their sides. It is just stock ATM I'm hoping when I upgrade the turret I get to hurt them. P.s. What's up with having to been in 2000 fights before your able to post on the war gaming forums. That will take a while. p.p.s wtf tier 5 tanks now I could not even scratch them. Just had a match a Tier 5 at the flag and a bunch of us tier 3s and we could not touch him then at full hp I get 1 hit on me and died, from now on if I get in a match with T5 tanks I'm quitting that match.
These crashes are really annoying me, by the time I get back into the game a min has passed but a lot can happen in a min and having a really slow tanks does not help
What are you using I have a 16g iPad 4 and haven't had a crash yet. (Knock on wood). The iPad just had a update so maybe that will help.
Getting crashes on my 4s too, granted less than other games but still annoying. Even Monster Hunters doesn't crash.
