Hello everyone,

remember how I wrote that WG EU Czech WoT portal is a disaster? You thought I was discriminating and bashing Czechoslovak crew? Don’t worry, I am not discriminating anyone: the English crew is just as incompetent.

Let’s have a look at the at the Alpha Force special. At first, we have wrong icons:

Well, that got fixed, but what have we here? For some strange reason, the English neews seem to be translated from Polish or something, this is a second case in two weeks when there was a Polish text in the English post.

In the RU forums Q&A thread, SerB gave an example of a hull upgrade for the T-54: 120 mm of front armour, or 100 mm, with higher top speed in return. I will take a look at what other upgrades potentially exist for Soviet tanks in-game. Since there is a great deal of them, the article will be split into parts. This part will discuss light tanks.

Let’s start from the top, the venerable MS-1. The tank was in service with the Red Army until the start of WWII, and was modernized several times. However, it did not undergo very notable hull changes, aside from a change between welded and bolted armour in 1930. Despite being a significant change in real life, it would only be cosmetic in game. Other visually interesting changes result from the MS-1a hull (T-26 suspension, simplified rear section of the hull) and T-18M (elements of the T-38′s suspension).

MS-1a: MS-1 with elements of the T-26 suspension.

T-18M: MS-1 with T-38 suspension elements and simplified rear hull.

8.9 CT round 2 should start today, it’s just a minor patch apparently.

I generally ignore interviews, but this is pretty interesting (with emphasis on pretty :P) – a Belarussian portal tech.onliner.bu made an interview with Olga “Ola” Sergeevna.

Hello everyone,

today, we are going to have a look at one interesting conversion in detail, the 7,5 cm PaK 97/38 auf T-26(r).

As you might have guessed, it’s the 75mm PaK 97/38 on a T-26 hull. As an improvised tank destroyer, it was moderately successful, but let’s have a look at the gun first.

Small update: Edrard asked me to remove the WG EU mocking post and I did, since I do respect him. You can find a copy of the original post on the FTR FB wall (just click the FB button on the upper bar).

PS: will leave comments opened, but out of respect for Edrard, please do NOT copy the post into them.

Warning: this post is very picture heavy

You know what time it is :) It’s another Hall of Shame time, showcasing the worst retards of World of Tanks.

So, there is this clan Exn0m, whose members appear on Hall of Shame regularily – must be a really fun clan to be in, with such retards. But don’t worry, there are other idiots too.

Also, I removed the Hall of Shame from the upper menu. There is no need to keep this shit archived – it’s enough these morons get called out.
