This will be a closed beta for World of Tanks: Blitz which is currently on Apple based products. You will have to sign an NDA This is a beta product so expect bugs, wipes and re-starts as WG deems appropriate to fix issues as they occur. If you have a low tolerance for such things and it causes you to lose your mind a closed beta may not be for you 
Note: I am unsure if under 18 can be included. If you are under 18 send the information if you wish but there is a chance you may be rejected. If interested please PM me: Your name (first and last) Age Email you can be reached at The type of android device(s) you own I will compile the list and send them on. There is NO guarantee that everyone or anyone will be picked. I do not know the parameters of testing. Also I myself am not in charge nor have anything to do with the closed Beta other then receiving an email that we are looking for external beta testers. So I cannot answer questions on this. I just figured I would give people the opportunity. ALL NAMES MUST BE IN BY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3 BY COB 4 PM CENTRAL TIME. I must compile and send in that night - anyone after that time will not be added to the list. Sorry but I have a tight time table to get these in. Laters Birdie_Sparrow |

Is the rally tourney going to be a weekend thing or 10 consecutive days? I'd like to participate, but there's no way I can marathon, even 20 minutes a day. My days can't be arranged quite that neatly.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Maybe I need to toon up with somebody for this rally thing. I'm averaging 750+ damage per match, I've survived all but 2, and more often than not, I've got at least 1 kill, and several times, I've had 2, and yet I'm still below 50% wr and my capture points are abysmal.  1st its not about damage ....thats a bonus but only when tooned up otherwise it counts for NOTHING Its all about Driving to cap and being 1st Also cap points come front being in cap and capping, Like I said its ALL about getting to cap 1st If you let a guy get 20 seconds in front of your team .... you lost. I dont care how much damage you did or if you killed the other two. Second make sure you are resetting every enemy tank on cap or they cap you out in short order honestly we dont "TRY" to kill other tanks, if it happens great but if we can get two tanks 10 seconds ahead ..... as Specter says........ gubye, see ya later. Also if you are tooned up then the 750 damage is a great bonus cause its X3 basically thats what I try for now that I have finished the mission... but getting there its wins and not dying. |

I reset like a boss! If the event was based on defense points, I'd have had it last night  I noted the damage I do because it's mostly a result of the brawl that inevitably happens in the cap. My best match last night, I rammed 2 of the enemy to death in the cap. You're saying that I should be getting behind that hill and hiding? |

The great thing about the Damage Missions is i will at least be getting 15 kills a day. i try to get more now i am going for kill stealing i hate doing it but it happens. 5 of us fire at a tank and well some times you get lucky and get the last shot in.
Think it was Larry or Leisure that explained it that 1 kill helps a lot With WN8 per game. |

They are each calculated differently. There are also a variety of factors that you are not taking into account. Such as damage to what tiers in respect to your own, what tier was the kill in relation to yours, what class of tank did you kill, etc. etc. Here is a discussion of WN8: WN8 |

Now that doesn't mean sit your ass in the rear either, unless you're in one of those tanks that are meant to do that. The longer you're alive the more damage you are going to do. Sure we all have that game where we beat out 2k damage in the first minute of the round at tier 7 and die but get good WN8. Now if you hadn't died early, you could have done even more, and the WN8 stat goes up exponentially. A 2k damage game with two kills in a T20 is 3k WN8, bump that up to 3k with two kills and that is a 7k WN8 game. My problem is that I do A LOT of damage, but don't get a shitpile of kills. People tend to vulture them for me. I suppose I could start holding my shots, but then nobody would fire, and I'd get more losses and less damage. |

Just had an interesting rally match. Second curve, the physics engine grabbed one of the tanks on my team and spun it around a couple of times. First corrogated bridge, it happened to me, with the added benefit that it glued me to the bridge, at which point the LAST member of my team crashed into me. Needless to say, we did not win.
 I guess WG decided that MM wasn't doing it's poke-a- pooper job well enough. |

I've been abusing the shit out of people who try that. Tooning up we usually have one tank to 700 by the first turn and dead well before cap.

I do the Coastie dance and they get so mesmerized looking at my ass wiggle that I'm usually still over 800 when I hit cap.   Running 60% WR despite MM giving me a series of sub 25% chance to win games. Also, I'm running exclusively solo pubbie.Anyway, in spite of the physics tornadoes flinging my fucking tank around like the spinners on a Chicano's Impala, I finished the damned thing. Commander retrained (with silver) now has 6th sense and 47% recon. Rest of the crew is on 97% of their first skill (yeah, I know, Larry, child's play. Consider the raspberry delivered!  2 skills is good for a scrub like me)So, now I have an extra garage bay, a million-three in the bank, and a decently trained crew for one of the new American lights (by way of the regular Chaffee, I suspect) Oh, and I've got a premium day I'll probably be too tired to take advantage of  |

Yes, sometimes I take a lot of damage, and there were a very few times I was too beat up by concentrated fire, but without platooning and comms - usually the neemy team spreads its shots out. Through my 50 wins and the few losses I had I normally was always the first on the cap circle - usually by a large margin since most can't drive well. It took me about 3 games to get it figured out, but I had my 1000 cap points by my 22nd win: 
And here's one win where both Smudge (a good player) and I both somehow missed all our shots at the beginning ... so I contend that damage is not key to winning most games when not in a platoon vs. platoon game.

Thanks, Larry. Took your advice to heart. Now I race to cap and hide whenever possible. I'll have my thousand cap points within the next couple of wins. I've been abusing the shit out of people who try that. Tooning up we usually have one tank to 700 by the first turn and dead well before cap. We make sure one tank get's thru to reset and kill the rest. running about a 95% win rate killing everyone Yet I ran a 95% win rate doing it the cap way.

Usually I'll just take pot shots throughout the race itself and slow down near the end so I can shoot people in the ass but solo is all about capping it out, damage doesn't mean anything. I had a funny match against a good player though, I hung back and we were side scraping against train cars trying to kill each other while the other guys raced ahead. It was hilarious. |

Here, I just ran one to show what I'm talking about... this wasn't my best time ever, but it went OK for a run. I hit the cap circle at the 4:23 mark in the game this time. I'm positive I've done it faster in the past.
Most guys - even the re-roll accounts - can't even keep up. By the 2nd major jump I usually stop receiving damage. Any bobble on their part means they're that much farther back... they can decimate my teammates for all I care, but I will secure the win. An entire team can enter the cap circle, but if they show up late enough I already have it. If they rush at me too fast to get aim on me, I'll bait them, then maneuver, and they usually fly past me and out of the cap circle while I find some low terrain or an obstacle to block their next try. If a racer is making it to the cap circle 20 seconds after that, they generally don't know what the fuck they're doing, and should go back to driving KV-4's. Battle duration in the end-report states 3 minutes, 7 seconds. This could have been even faster had I someone else on the circle with me.

Had a great time running with Joe and Zoomies last night. They also saw a side of me that doesn't come out too often. I already know I'm an asshole, but we had one match on North West where I was an asshole of the highest magnitude. When I spot half the enemy team and am taking some pretty serious incoming and the fuckers camping on the hill watch me die, yeah, I get a little pissed. No chat ban for me

On patch 9.4, confirmed on FTR a while ago, El Halluf will have a night game mode. Tanks will have a low glow of their team color so they can be identified but view ranges will be cut in half. Spread the word.

This 'penalty system' would be fine if the client would quit locking up on me and forcing me to get stuck loading in to a match and then being penalized for my inactivity in battle.

Finally got my T30 unlocked. One grind down, many more to go. 38k from unlocking the Cent 1, 54k from the 13 90 and 35k from the IS3. I figure I'll finish grinding out the IS3 before the Cent 1 or 13 90.

I never seem to be in a map where I can hide its glass nose and not have some Tier X pen my turret as well. I liked the French lights, including the 13 90, until it jumped tiers (8.2 ? When the ELC came out?). It takes soooo long to load, and with the TD buffs, it can be killed from across the map.

I don't want to sit around in a bush for 8-10 minutes waiting ...and hoping...for some action at the end of a match.

I've unlocked the Lorraine 40t, but ... supposedly it is only pleasurable if you like the 13 90 playstyle. So far, the Brit mediums seem to the be the ones that match my level of play and style. I am accurate enough to snipe, quick enough to get in and cause mayhem, and I can shoot on the move and make hits. I only pen for 140 DMG, so, sitting still and firing up close is not a good plan. But, I can sling a shell every 3.6 seconds or so s I move by the furball and in to the backfield for mayhem... TRG |

TRG The 1390 is an incredible tank and really, not to be played like a tier 5 light tank it is a cleverly disguised medium tank. The gun is more than adequate and IMHO, the tank is fairly OP. Shooting on the move is most certainly not a waste of time. Snap shot and smooth ride. I would say I hit at least 80% of my shots on the move with that tank. Hell, half the shots you take in that thing are on the move. The Lorr, which a lot of people like to hate on is another good tank especially if you want to play the french heavy line. Because if you do unlock the top gun on the Lorr40t you now have the top gun for the tier8 Heavy tank. Oh yeah, all the modules are unlocked for the 50-100 from it's predecesors now so you basically play a topped out tank from the outset. |
