Hall of Shame Special Edition – Scammer!
Hello everyone,
today, we have a very special edition of the Hall of Shame, because a player named MakoSV managed to catch an account scammer in action and took screenies to prove it. So, everyone, meet:
Hokej83 from clan [CAK] C. a k. 1.Dragounský pluk
This guy whispers to players and tries to convince them to give him their password, so he can “hack Wargaming and add gold to their account”. Needless to say, that’s retarded, but newbies/kids might actually fall for that. Here we can see him in action:
Translation from Czech:
Hokej83: Are you here?
MakoSV: Hi, yes
Hokej83: Do you want 999 gold and 1 000 0000 silver on your account
MakoSV: Will you send them to me? :)
Hokej83: I have 100 000 gold and 6 mil silver if you want for your accout
Hokej83: No, I have to “hack” them if you want, it’s for free
MakoSV: How?
Hokej83: You have to give your account to me, I already did that with 6 players and they thank me a lot
Hokej83: maus01 miskas333 already thanked me and it’s cool

Enjoy!
Historical VK3001H
Hello everyone,
today, we are going to have a look at what will happen to the VK3001H in patch 8.8.
But first, in order to explain the logic behind WG’s decision, we have to have a look at the history of the VK3001H. Some very basic info can be found on the World of Tanks wiki page – the data written in the article are unfortunately quite incorrect.
9.8.2013
- there will be no compensations for VK3001H owners, when it goes down a tier
- Object 430 was not scrapped, only delayed
- there will possibly be a third (yet unannounced) Soviet medium branch, of which the Object 140 will be the top tank, this branch will consist of vehicles designed in Omsk (SS: the original branch is “Nizhny Tagil” branch, the 8.8 one is “Kharkov” branch)
- tier 9 of this new branch might be a version of T-54, designated “Object 139″ (which was a prototype of Object 140)
- the anniversary hangar warships looming on the horizon are a little “hi!” from WoWs developers (SS: the second from the right is allegedly Yamato)
- Object 263 drowning too soon (as soon as the water reaches the tracks)? “How terrible…”
That’s it for now. There will be more in the afternoon I think.
T-34-3 footage
Thanks to Puppet_Master (EU) for bringing up this one!
Hello everyone,
apparently, some Russian player used T-34-3 in random battles. Here’s the footage.
8.8.2013
- confirmed: RU second medium branch will start from T-34 and end with T-54, Object 140 will be a tier 10, unlockable from T-54, Object 430 and the other T9 tank will come later
- penetration reduction with distance is set for each shell individually
- both shells for VK3601 Konisch gun are basically historically subcaliber SerB states that both have subcaliber normalisation, as far as he remembers
VK 3002 (MAN), upcoming tier 6 MT
Hello everyone,
since today in the 8.8 info it was uncovered that the new German tier 6 medium tank (to replace the VK3001H, which is blatantly unhistorical) will be the VK3002M, let’s have a look at it, shall we?
