Hello everyone, you can’t have them, but now you can at least look at them :) Wargaming prepared two special wallpapers of the top two Individual Mission vehicles, the Object 260 and T-55A. Have a look! Downloads for various resolutions below the line.

Hello everyone, you already know that we have an upcoming tier 9 reward tank (East German T-55). Here are its stats from the supertest (unmodified, just like you would see them in the garage). I am comparing it with elite T-54 (with D-10T2S) stats. T-55A NVA DDR Tier 9 German MT Cost: 17500g (this is a temporary thing) Hitpoints: 1700 (1650) Hull armor: 100/80/45 (120/80/45) Turret armor: 200/160/65 (200/160/65) Engine: W-55W Power: 580 hp (700) Fire starting chance: 12% (12) Power-to-weight: 15.59 hp/t (20.18) Max speed: 50/20 (56/20)

Source: VK Wotleaks community Hello everyone, as announced earlier, T-55A appeared on the supertest as a German tier 9 reward/event tank. It’s official designation is “T-55A NVA DDR”. The designation reads: The T-55A is an improved variant of the T-55 tank. It differs from the T-55 by the absence of the AA machinegun and improved WMD protection. Roughly 1800 T-55 and T-55A tanks were exported from USSR to DDR between 1962 and 1970. Statistics for 100 percent crew: Tier: 9 MT Reward Hitpoints: 1700 Weight: 37,5 tons Engine power: 580 hp Power-to-weight: 15,47 hp/t Maximum speed: 50/20 km/h Terrain resistance: 0,767/0,863/1,438 Hull traverse: 50 deg/s Viewrange: 395 Radiorange: 761,3 Armor – hull: 100/80/? Armor – turret: 200/160/65 Gun: 100mm Kanone D-10T2S Penetration: 201/330/50 Damage: 320/320/420 DPM: 2600 Reload time: 7,384s ROF: 8,126 Accuracy: 0,326 Aimtime: 2,01s Depression: -4,3 Turret traverse: 48 deg/s Armor and more pics below.

Hello everyone, here are the Object 260, T55A and T95E2 videos. These were made by notable Russian video makers on testing accounts, lent by WG for these purposes. Obviously, I can’t translate the commentary of the player (nor do I want to, it’s quite subjective), but suffice to say, I’ve seen these vehicles in action on the test server (courtesy of certain supertesters and their sharing of “feeling” of the tanks”). – Object 260 is generally liked, it is VERY maneuverable (faster than some mediums) and the frontal armor is very nasty. Generally, it’s as good as the IS-7. – T-55A is awesome, it works as well as the T-54, no big surprises there. It’s surprisingly mobile. – T95E2 has very nasty frontal armor, but in general, nothing much – Panther 88 (not on videos) is just a Panther II for most intents. It’s slow, sluggish and the gun has relatively poor depression. Not the best tank around, wouldn’t buy it based on current info (but hey, without proper testing, it’s hard to say).

This time, we will take a look at the model viewer.  Model inspection is an important and popular feature of Tank Inspector. Thanks to its advanced deferred rendering engine, Tank Inspector present tank models in a high quality, comparable to those being rendered in the game. In Tank Inspector PRO, we improved the rendering engine to bring an even higher graphics quality. Furthermore, just as we promised and exhibited in recent Tank Inspector releases, we are introducing a really useful Capture function. Model View

Hello everyone, just a quick rundown of some of the things in test 2. The camouflage fixed – yea, I tried to look at it in Tank Viewer and nothing seemed wrong, so who knows. Personally, I think they fixed this: This is from Test 9.3 actually and it’s a Maus, but you can see that the turret texture is stretched wrong, so maybe it was present on the Tiger II as well. Then the visual model changes – I had a look at both of the test 1 and test 2 versions and I have absolutely no idea what they changed visually on any of those listed models (Centurion 7/1, KV-85, M5 Stuart, M3 Lee) – both versions are identical. Whatever it was, it was probably on the “let’s shift this texture two pixels to the left” level.

As usual, these are only preliminary and possibly partial. No HD models. Vehicles: – M56 Scorpion, Panzer II Ausf.D, Object 260, T-55A, Panther 88, T28 Concept, StuG IV added for supertesters only – T-34-3 and AT-15A recieved a buff (unspecified) – camo coefficient of T-54 Light fixed – fixed bugs in visual models of SU-100, IS-7, Jagdpanther, M24 Chaffee – fixed bugs in collision models of M-24 Chaffee, KV-85 – fixed the names of the T67 turrets
