These changes are based on SUPERTEST 9.3, might be a bit different in test 9.3

- all light tanks (except for Type 62, strangely enough) got their suspensions buffed by cca 10 percent (10-20 hitpoints)
- Jagdpanther 88mm L/56 depression nerfed from -8 to -5
- repair costs for VK3601 lowered by 25 percent
- T49 tank destroyer renamed to T67
- T71 light tank and T69 medium T185 gun made more expensive (63k to 73k credits)
- interestingly enough, SU-76I was buffed, which implies this vehicle might be implemented into the game

FV304:
- stock tracks terrain resistance nerfed from 1,2/1,4/2,3 to 1,2/1,5/2,3, traverse nerfed from 22 to 20
- elite tracks terrain resistance nerfed from 1,1/1,3/2,1 to 1,1/1,4/2,1, traverse nerfed from 24 to 22

Hello everyone,

as you probably already realized, the French tree is possibly the most neglected tree in World of Tanks. Of course, there is a reason for that and we’ll get to that, but for now, we have some good news: the AMX-30 branch (or “branch”, you’ll see) is scheduled to come in 2015, as was previously confirmed by Storm.

So, the will to improve the French is there, but the real question is: is it even possible?

There is a reason the French branch was neglected. The reason is: “insufficient data”. While it might seem odd to you, considering the French were very active in their armor research after the war, there are very few candidates for the hightier medium tank positions – and by very few, I mean none at all. Let’s have a look at the branch itself then.

This above is the first (and last) concept of the AMX-30 branch, as it was disclosed two years ago. Most AMX-30 branch player proposals incorporate this sort of line in them. I asked around how viable this concept is now, two years later and the answer was – not at all. This will simply not happen. The main reasons for that is that G1P on tier 7 would have to be overbuffed and that AMX-45 is a heavy tank, not a medium. As a “bonus”, very little is known about it and generally noone really likes this kind of setup.

There are no English subtitles, but you can select the “translate subtitles” to “English”, it’s sufficient, to know what they are talking about.

Hello everyone,

Wargaming recently released another video from the “Remember Everything” series, dedicated to honoring the World War Two veterans. Technically, there is nothing wrong with that – these people in the movie (describing their feelings about “protecting the motherland” and all that) fought in possibly the worst war conflict in human history (personally, strictly combat-wise, disregarding the terrible WW2 background of concentration camps and such, I consider the battlefield of WW1 to be the most terrifying thing to happen in the history of wars) and deserve our respect.

But…

Hello everyone,

so, here’s the new 9.3 stuff all in one place. The data come from 9.3 supertest client, so they are possible to change. Still, I think it gives us a nice insight.

Where there are more values, stock comes first of course, then the middle (if there is) and then the elite.

Thanks to Tyrexdunet for this one!

Hello everyone,

this is an extremely rare footage of ARL-44, Foch tank destroyer and AMX 50 in action during the 14.7.1951 parade in Paris. Armor starts at cca 0:55.

Hello everyone,

the Golden Joystick competition is coming once again and Wargaming EU acts the way they used to – they screw up whatever they touch. Take the Top of the Tree for example. First, it looked like this:

A medium tank discount over a medium line? Sounds logical. Oh well, too bad it didn’t stay that way and got changed to WZ-132 the way it was announced in the September leaked plans. Wargaming not reading even their own materials? How terrible. And I am not talking about how they apparently shifted the 121 to tier 9.

And of course, there are the September missions:

Wargaming EU as usual.
