Fresh from the printers, one last look at the New Year map and all of the lovely festivities bestowed upon it by the community, written by @Viking4s (plus a brief section on the gameplay from myself). Enjoy!

Yes, that's right. Once there are enough correct answers for each question, the form will be closed, and an official announcement will be made on this page.

As of now, this contest is officially open. Refresh your page to begin the test.

The word 'ricochet' is of French origin, but I think the English kinda stole that one from them. They do that a lot to other languages.

Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is now officially CLOSED. Results will be posted on the 6th of January, 2017.

I'm sorry, but this is simply not true.

Fresh from the printers, a well-rounded article from our own @Viking4s, surrounding the subject of the intriguing New Year map. Enjoy!

I think I speak for a number of us when I say that I wish we at least knew what the exact problem was with the VISA group and its affiliates. I understand that fixing the problem is out of the question for now, but a bit of closure as to what exactly is causing problems would be greatly appreciated. (If it's confidential information, though, a lack of explanation would be understandable.)

I apologize for the confusion. This has been edited accordingly.

Edited accordingly.

They're on my to-do list, and will be edited before January is out at the very latest. I've been planning to get to these for a while, but I've admittedly been busy with a number of other items for quite some time.

I don't know anyone who will decline one of those, either. If there's other ways to move another tanker positively through their heart, then it's on the right track.

Fresh from the printers, an effective guide dissolving tactics on how to work with our new favorite rocket launcher, Striker. Enjoy!

Heh, not bad. Three flag mode should keep things very interesting.

I may or may not have locked that topic.

Greetings once more, cadets. Welcome to the combat simulation facility known as the "War Room". Here, tankers are confronted with situations that may frequently occur in the war zone. The content of these problems may vary, but the combat mechanics used to propagate and solve them remain stalwart throughout. Combining a well rounded knowledge of the game with advanced problem solving skills, there are a number of methods for a tanker to reap the fruit of their efforts towards resolving and predicting the outcome of these events, including but not limited to time, accuracy, and clarity of response. There are three questions currently available for testers, and each question will be graded individually. Incentive amounts are listed below. Question X 1st: 25,000 2nd: 16,000 3rd: 9,000 As can be seen, there are few slots available for each question, so be sure to answer quickly. However, bear in mind that an inaccurate answer is just as effective as the fourth correct answer; that is, that neither of them will receive reward. The test will begin on the 10th of January, 2017, during the server update at 02:00 UTC 0. Come prepared. The link will appear HERE when the test is ready to be administered. See you then.

I notice a handful of you remain unfazed regardless of what challenges impede your path. Not only did these cadets manage to unravel such a difficult puzzle, but they managed to do so in a respectable time frame. Congratulations are in order for the following tankers. 1st (49,000): @Anonono 2nd (36,000): @Freezanator 3rd (25,000): Monstermagus Surely this group of tankers is a fair representative of the brightest of the community. Their rewards will be delivered respectively on Monday, January 9th of 2017. v v v Answer below v v v Until next time, cadets. Tread carefully. .

I could have sworn I edited that. I must not have saved it at the time, but it's been edited accordingly now.

Wait a moment, where is the remaining 9%? If I left one in the SmokyRangeVariation Chart by mistake, it's because that was one of the first graphs I made for the section, and it may require editing, since the problem was not brought up by the community at the time.

The exact components and how they interact with one another to form power is something worth investigating, so I'll make a note to check this as soon as possible. The hull pages, by all appearances, are in need of a brush up, and have been added to my to-do list; for the time being, Acceleration has simply been replaced with Power, for immediate clarity. Expect them fully brushed up by the end of December. Their respective guide pages are also planned to be modified, while the turret pages have already been thoroughly edited spare Shaft (which will follow suit soon enough). As a side note, the In Depth: Game Mechanics section is currently undergoing an experimental format change, as displayed under the Smoky category. Suggestions and inquiries are welcome.
