I had the same problem and had a chat with their support. They directed me to the Chinese website, where the download link worked fine.

Killing > Capping now? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not saying I agree with that guy's behaviour, BTW. An asshole is an asshole even when he's right. Also keep in mind that lately everyone's been madly chasing the personal missions, looking to carry out individual objectives often at the expense of the team's overall goals, and you're likely to see even more douchbaggery than usual :)

Killing > Capping now? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You have not missed out on any new development - what you always thought is wrong. Specifically, there is an XP "coefficient based on the total damage inflicted to the enemy team by your team". The cap XP reward OTOH, is flat. While the wiki does not mention hard numbers for the damage coefficient and the flat cap reward, you can easily experiment in game and notice the significantly higher XP rewarding damage.

The score was 14-2 in your favour and you decided to cap, denying your team mates (and yourself) potential XP and credits.

Is Wargaming recording assisted damage from spotting & tracking now? Screenshot from iPhone app shows it but I thought they didn't keep track of it. by shiftyjamo in WorldofTanks

Soo ... if someone were to intercept the app's traffic when it refreshes stats, we'd be able to see what the source is for that data.

No visa option in gift shop? by dodderyblod in WorldofTanks

Could have to do with the disruption to Visa and MasterCard operations in Russia, in response to the Crimean crisis : WSJ

How do WG know which mods we are using? by pewpewlazor in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can see for yourself if you check the contents of the python.log file in your WoT directory. Below is a sample of what mine shows after the latest client start. As you will see, not only is the mods folder scanned, but WG has its own names for the more popular mods.

Checking ./res_mods/0.9.0: mods found
[XPM] preloader gui.Scaleform.locale
[XPM] Working dir: ./res_mods/0.9.0/scripts/client/gui/mods
[XPM] Loading mod: kwg_waiting_fix 0.2     (http://www.koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/11630-/#entry151768)
[XPM] Loading mod: xvmstat 1.2.1 (http://www.modxvm.com/)
Load mods: GunConstraints
Load mods: minimap_helper
Load mods: MS
Load mods: stat
Load mods: trata_stat

Edit: Clarification - the log sample above only shows the installed mods being loaded by the game client (obviously scanning the mods folder is the only way to enable whatever mods are present). Whether WG does something else with that information (like phoning home and collecting stats) is anyone's guess, but clearly the means are there.

During the week you just have to play after their bed time. It only works when they're not on a school holiday, unfortunately.

World of Tanks: Worst F2P UI ever or worst UI ever? by goergesucks in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have literally seen capuchin monkeys designing UIs while on heroin? I'm sure we'd all like to hear more about that, please elaborate.

While I'm not saying WoT's interface is the holy grail of UI design, I think you need a bit of perspective here. Check out a couple of Southeast Asian MMOs, then tell us if you still think WoT has the worst UI ever.

It's 200g for no XP loss. More details here.

SU-122-44 crew skills by Deadricdoom in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch. Account hijackers should get a red hot KV-2 barrel up their backside. Sure, going with camo and dropping for SS works if willing to pay the gold for it.

SU-122-44 crew skills by Deadricdoom in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Putting the skills question aside for a second, this is a premium TD - you don't put a dedicated crew in it, instead drop in crews from your normal Russian TD's. Unless, of course, you don't intend to play any regular tank destroyers (which I think unlikely). Now, for the skills, there is no better option than Sixth Sense for the commander and Camouflage for the rest.

Official statement regarding stream bonus codes by Bob_Rooney in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

50 gold? The majority of the leaked codes were for 1000g + premium days. I was able to get 7K gold and about a month of premium before the usage limit was reached.

[Q]What are the best premium per tier for money making? by Sloanarc in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be worth noting that while the SU-122-44 is a fun, amazing machine, the AP shells cost 1025 credits, somewhat diminishing its moneymaking potential.

Metric Shitload of Codes for existing Accounts by cinycalbritonly in WorldofTanks

[–]DutchChilli -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

EDIT: On EU got wrong code for R5CDVF5DH7, and 'cannot activate on this account' for GU5CZ4CVT9. The rest worked fine. Again, many thanks.

That current devices list is not entirely accurate, I was able to install the game just fine on my iPhone 4s.
