Hello everyone,

today, I have a guest article from you from player sp15 (US forums), dedicated to Swedish heavy tank development. Enjoy!

Sp15:

Recently about 90 pages of information on the Krv project was found by EU and NA player Renhaxue. I’ve myself been working closely with him and I thought we might as well share the information we have now that we have the archived documents.

So without further ado let’s start. After World War Two, Sweden’s tank force had quickly become outdated, the most advanced tank in service was the Strv m/42 which was the equivalent of an early model Sherman, and it was clear that something better was needed. So in 1949, Sweden did set requirements for a new heavy tank. It seems this project was a response to the development of western heavy tanks by the Americans and British and like their heavy tank projects, the main goal was to counter the threat of the Soviet IS-3.

…or is it?

Thanks to bluemasquerade for this one.

It seems that the Chinese are having the VK7201 as a premium vehicle in their shop for roughly 210 USD. Good choice? Bad choice?

I think some rewards should stay exclusive. I personally do have a problem with vehicles from pre-order packages being sold on other servers. But that’s just me.

Hello everyone,

I got sent this video of an allegedly 3 year old (but definitely very young) Taiwanese player, who kills 5 tanks in his IS tank like a boss, while his father records the whole thing on camera. Young doesn’t mean bad – as SerB said: winrate is genetically predetermined :D

Hello everyone,

welcome to the new issue of Hall of Shame, where worst retards of WoT (and occasionally other games) are put on display. We have a nice collection of nazis, idiots and trolls for you today :)

Let’s start with a couple of German gentlemen:

Hello everyone,

Wargaming is apparently fond not only of tanks and warplanes, but also of sportsmen. Or sportswomen, in this case. Darya Domracheva, a Belarussian biathlete, agreed to shoot a photo ad campaign for Wargaming, specifically for World of Warplanes. Wargaming also became an official sponsor of Darya Domracheva for 2013/2014 season. Well, enough text, here’s how it looks like. She’s kinda pretty, isn’t she?

Hello everyone,

a few invite codes from… well, someone (guys, write your nicknames) :) Much appreciated.

There are still plenty of invite codes left on Alienware site too.

PS: Also, speaking of bonus codes, several people linked me to “Razer”. Please note that the company “Razer” is banned from FTR for spamming:

(from the banned users comment folder – Razer posted dozens of these under many posts)

While it’s fun to rip off Wargaming (preferably WG EU) by bruteforcing codes, I am starting to doubt the morality of such an undertaking. Long story short: about an hour or two ago, Russians acquired a “template” from an European magazine for some warplane, some gold and 5 days of prem. They are bruteforcing it even now, which means that whoever buys the magazine will get a code, that has already been used.

Personally, I think that such a person can always contact WG support to remedy the situation, but it is still annoying. Since I didnť know where the templates come from before, I posted them. This time however the template clearly comes from a magazine (even the Russians say so) and I won’t knowledgeably rip off EU players this way. I also removed the previous codes post from today (from the feedback they didn’t work anyway).

What do you think? Should we continue this code mining, or should I let it be?
