Tank cant shoot
During the Quick Tournaments Saturday evening, my ARL44 would not shoot. Mouse controls stopped working and the ammo selection displays were dimmed out. I was unable to contribute in the battle. I went to the Clan message board and explained what happened and one other player experienced the same thing. I use PC and was able to drive the tank using the keyboard as normal.
Quit the game and returned., I was unable to LEAVE the tournament to go play in the other game modes. Whats up with no Dismiss option????

I'm not sure what the mechanics of your not being able to shoot would be as long as your gun was not already damaged or was lacking ammo. If the gun receives critical damage you wouldn't be able to shoot and the vertical traverse (up and down) would be disabled. Using a repair or multi-restoration kit would repair all the damage. If left unrepaired the gun would eventually repair itself to 50% damage but would have increased dispersion and inaccuracy. Of course, it couldn't fire if you had entered the battle without any ammo or had already used all of the ammo you had loaded.

Watch the replay to see if the gun had been damaged or lacked ammo. If it hadn't been you could submit a ticket to Player Support by selecting Settings/General/Support ingame. Attaching the replay file to the ticket could help support and/or developers identify any bug.

The game had just started, I the left mouse key when depressed would do nothing.
The 3 type of ammo for the ARL 44 were dimmed out on the screen, as in I could not see them.
The WASD keys worked fine and I could move the tank.,
Another player on the team said he had the same issue.

I quit WOTB several times and was only able to get out of the tournament program routine after the team was fully eliminated and somebody else terminated the participation program.

I sent a screen shot of the ARL 44 at Fortress map. Note the lack of ammo at start of game.

In update 10.0 the 90mm and 105mm guns were changed on the ARL, and the ammo loadouts were reset to zero as a result. That can happen whenever a balance change is made to guns or ammo. The gun or ammo you end up with is new and you need to select ammo just as you did when your first got the tank. https://na.wotblitz.com/en/news/updates/vehicle-changes-10-0/

Sooner or later everyone ends up without any ammo. Whenever I switch tanks or battle modes I quickly look at the bar just below the tank in the garage in order to make sure that it has what I need for that tank or mode. it's even more important just afer an update. Sometimes an update will change settings so check them too.

I've used up all of my ammo in long battles before, but that's rare. Shooting destroys your camo and even the sound can alert an enemy so I avoid shooting rocks, barrels, etc. to be on the safe side.

В одном бою у я не мог двигаться и стрелять. Тупо стоял, пока меня не убили
