Hello everyone,

I’ve read some worries that in 9.0, the HD models will not be customizable. Well, as far as I can tell, that’s not true. Check this out: Russian player Foxerfit already produced a re-colored HD skin for the Tiger I 9.0 test model:

On the left, the recolored one. Obviously, it’s pointless to give links for a model, that’s not done yet (it’s likely it will change before the patch goes live), but as you can see, it’s possible.

Hello everyone,

thank to rrw for pointing out this one. So, there is finally a Girls und Panzer official voiceover pack. Here’s a trailer:

According to the description under the video, it will be released on 28.3.2014 via the official Girls und Panzer webpage.

In 1937, Sweden decided to modernize its armored forces by purchasing 16 pieces of the Landsverk-designed L-60 tank. Alongside the cannon-armed L-60, lighter machinegun tank was also acquired. This was the Czechoslovak AH-IV tankette, which had already been exported to Iran and Romania previously. In total, Sweden bought 46 production tanks and 2 prototypes.

Hello everyone,

we all know that Wargaming EU is sometimes… well, let’s say not too eager to ban nasty offenders (just remember the impotent EU “bot hunt” before the shit was stirred up by St0rmshadow), but this surprises even me.

Remember the asshole nazis from the _LOL_ clan? Well, they did get reported and “punished”.

What is the punishment for stuff like “you Jewish swine”, “SIEG HEIL” and “fuck off Polish jude” – things, punishable by law with prison?

Two days of ban.

No more than two days, I kid you not. Check this out. The nazis were punished on March 24th, a day after the post on FTR came out (I checked, they weren’t banned by the time the article went out). A day later, on 24.3.2014, this is what their clan screen showed:

All the “crossed” names participated in the nazi spam and all of them were banned for the same duration: from 24.3. to 25.3. (as you can see on the screenshot). Two fucking days (maybe even not complete ones). So this is how seriously does Wargaming take the nazis in games? Bleh.

And yes, I know these people are probably not real nazis, just idiotic kids, spamming stuff they don’t understand. That’s actually even worse, because it proves that there are people, who take nazism casually. It should never be taken casually, this is not what our grandfathers and great-grandfathers bled for, especially coming from Czechs. I am truly ashamed that these people share the same country as me.

Hello everyone,

okay, check this out. Wargaming claims that the yesterday’s micropatch (apart from pointlessly breaking pretty much all the sound mods, causing the game to crash with them and introducing unfunny April “joke”) fixed the bug, where artillery shells disappear, right?

Wrong. Check this out. This is a German stream from last night (you can check the date – 13 hours ago) from EU server, eg. from time when the micropatch was already updated (thanks to St0rmshadow for sending it to me)

Watch live video from wasilijsaizev on TwitchTV

It’s live recording, so can’t be any bug of replays. Now, go to time 1 hour 32 minutes and 15 seconds and watch. At cca 1:32:22 or so, enemy Jagdpanzer E-100 will roll on the player and the artillery shell will vanish directly in front of it.

Ooops. By the immortal words of Storm himself:
