The Last of the Ausf.D Panthers

Hello everyone,

thanks to European player DrakeZiggo and the wonders of mobile internet, I have an interesting story for you today about possibly the last surviving Panther D in the world.

It was captured by the 1st Polish Armored Brigade (historical Polish were anything but noobs), who then turned it on the Germans and used it during the liberation of Breda (Netherlands) in 1944 and was later given as a gift to the city. The origin of the tank is unknown, it is however speculated it came from the Meppen army testing ground.

- for now, no tier 8 premium French medium tank has been found
- maximum speed buff for JT88? “We’ll see. We are very careful when taking decisions on premium tanks”
- unified chat and friend contacts are planned for WoT and WoWp
- if you gather 240 WoWp tokens every day between 1st and 26th September in WoWp, you will be able to buy 2 months of premium (common to both WoWp and WoT) for your account for them
- new alternative ways of gaining free XP? “No comment for now, the final concept for that is not ready yet”

Evilly on E-50/E-75 engines

Source: RU forums

You will like this, guys!

Evilly (RU main community organizer):

- all the users, who had top engines on either E-75 or E-50 unlocked, will recieve 25000 free XP on their account in 8.8 (you will get this free XP even if the tank isn’t bought in the hangar, you will get free XP only for one, so even if you have both unlocked, you will get 25k, not 50k, because the engines were identical and they were unlocked once)
- ALL the engines that are unlocked, bought, installed on vehicles will be sold for the price they were purchased for when 8.8 goes live
- new top E-75/E-50 engines will be unlocked for those, who had previously the top engines unlocked
- Superpershing will be possible to sell for gold purchase price in 8.8

E-75 terrain passability in Test 2

Hello everyone,

not much has changed from test 1 to test 2, but the E-75 did recieve the promised terrain passability buff:

Test 1 Stock Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,2/1,5/2,5
Test 1 Elite Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,1/1,4/2,3

Test 2 Stock Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,2/1,3/2,4
Test 2 Elite Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,1/1,2/2,2

The rest remains the same.

M48 Errata

Just a quick update: today, I wrote in the Q&A session that M48 might get a buff. I was wrong, I misread one of the questions/answers. At this moment, no M48 buff is planned.

Sorry for that.
