World of Tanks – Clan compensation for July 11th server outages

July 12, 2019 ~ Sebastianul

Taken from russian forums

Information on compensation for yesterday’s problems in the game for clan players.

• Information on compensation for clans.
We will collect battles in which the clans could take part on the fronts, and we will compensate the clans for the number of clan points of fame by the average number of points of fame earned on July 11 at the front.
As an example, the clans did not fight in the first round of the action in the advances. In total, in the advances there could be 5 rounds. The clan will receive the average number of points of fame, which was earned in the advances for 5 fights.
All winning bids in auctions on the advanced and elite fronts, where there were missing battles, will be returned to the clans that have made bids.

Points of fame clans will be accrued soon

• Information on compensation to players.
In view of the fact that it is physically impossible to collect players who could participate in battles during technical problems and compensate for their potential glory points (and charging all players of affected clans would be unfair to the other participants of the event), we will increase the prize pool in the tanks to 23.000 (was: 21.500) tanks for positions in the Wall of Fame, and up to 3.500 tanks (was: 3.000) in the auction.

Information about the number of prize tanks in the rules of the event and the clan screen will change soon.

World of Tanks – Frontline Episode 6: Introducing the AE Phase I!

July 12, 2019 ~ Sebastianul

Update: Post has been taken down in the SEA website

Episode 6 Schedule

EPISODE START	15 Jul 2019 (Monday) 07:00 UTC +8
EPISODE END	22 Jul 2019 (Monday) 04:00 UTC +8
CEASEFIRE	04:00 – 07:00 UTC +8

Schedule is taken from the SEA server website

Before the start of Episode 5, we announced a reduction of the cooldown on respawn to 10 seconds, instead of 30. Unfortunately, due to some technical issues, we weren’t able to bring this improvement to life. But now all the malfunctions are fixed, so in the new Episode, cooldown on respawn will be 10 seconds. Spend more time in the game, play, and grab your well-deserved rewards!

The AE Phase I: The Crown Jewel of Your Tank Collection!

Speaking of rewards. Finally, we can announce the name, nation and class of the most valuable Frontline 2019 reward! The most persistent and skillful players will be able to receive as a reward the AE Phase I, a Tier IX American heavy tank. Looking at this formidable brawler, you’ll immediately notice its distinguishing feature: the segmented tracks. This tank has four caterpillars, with two on each side.

The AE Phase I comes with two main features. The first is that it’s an event vehicle, freeing you from the necessity of retraining an experienced Crew to assign to this tank. The second is a new mechanic: a built-in Large Repair Kit consumable, which will occupy one of the slots on the Equipment Panel of your vehicle (no additional slots are provided). In battle, it works just like a regular one, but once the fight is over and you’re in the Garage, you don’t have to purchase a new one as the built-in Large Repair Kit replenishes automatically.

Emil 1951: The First-Ever Swedish Tier VIII Premium Vehicle

While you’re chasing down the incredible AE Phase I, don’t forget about the other outstanding reward vehicle, the VIII EMIL 1951 . This is the first-ever Swedish Tier VIII Premium heavy tank with an autoloader, boasting decent frontal armor and good alpha damage with both basic and special rounds. Its top speed is nothing special, but it keeps up well and accelerates fast for a heavy tank. It’s good enough to close in on an enemy and show them who’s boss!

If you don’t manage to earn sufficient Prestige Points to redeem your reward vehicle of choice this Episode, fret not! Our reconnaissance operations have uncovered the dates of Frontline Episode 7 – 19 – 26 August – so be sure to mark down those dates and continue your farming then!

Get a Tier VIII Tank!

Don’t have a suitable Tier VIII vehicle for Frontline? Rent one! In Episode 6, the rental vehicles featured in Episode 1 are making a comeback. You’ll soon be able to take any of these vehicles for a test drive:

T-44 FL

Pz. 58 FL

T34 FL

All Gold spent on rentals accumulates in a special fund that you can put towards a discount when purchasing any of the 11 original rental tanks available in Frontline this year.

Reworked the logic of adding the manageable XP bonus within WoT Premium Account. Now the extra XP will be sent to the crew according to the same rules that are applied to the Combat experience:
- If the Accelerated crew training is disabled (or is not available) before the beginning of a battle, a share of experience will go to the crew, the rest will go to the vehicle.
- If the Accelerated crew training is enabled, all experience will be distributed between the crew members.
Changed the conditions, upon which the bonus can be used (all below conditions should be met):
- The most recent victory in the selected vehicle.
- The vehicle is in the Garage (not sold, the rental has not expired, etc.)
- The crew that won the battle is in the vehicle.
- The current state of the Accelerated crew training option is the same as it was before the beginning of the battle.
