Hello everyone,

I am back with a couple more pictures of StuG IV. The vehicle description reads:

“Based on the proposal of Ministry of Arms, in February 1942, Krupp design bureau started testing the installation of reworked StuG III superstructure on the new chassis of Panzer IV Ausf.H and J. First vehicles were mass-produced in December 1943, by January 1944 Krupp completely switched to their production from the Panzer IV. In total, 1108 vehicles were built, 31 more were made by converting existing tanks.”

Hello everyone,

I am sure many of you, dear readers, are participating in clanwars in one way or another and therefore are familiar with the current “Twilight of Gods” event. For those, who do not follow this stuff, the short version is that CW clans are competing for a special territory called “Valhalla”. You know, Ragnarok, norse mythos and all that. Anyway, this minicampaign seems to be plagued by various – if not fails, then at least very strange events.

First and possibly the most visible is the fact that several clans got banned for game rigging. Make no mistake – the entire idea is good and in at least one case, the ban was completely justified. However, in other cases, it was likely not. The entire ban system works like this (as explained by Tuccy on the forums):

- the system automatically detects rigged battle based on certain criteria (which are unknown, but likely involve battles of a full team versus incomplete team, 15:0 wins, one team not doing any damage and such)
- clan leader and his deputies recieve a warning email, in which the support asks them to submit the replay of the suspicious battle
- if they do not react on the email, they get banned
- if they STILL don’t react on the email, the entire clan gets banned (this is the part when most of the clan detects something is kinda wrong, there apparently is also very little delay between the last two steps).

Hello everyone,

as you already know, the special event, that’s allegedly to come in the future is a Chaffee race on the modified Port map. Here’s an award you are going to get for this mode, which is in Russian called “Smertelnye Gonki”, which means something like “Mortal Race” or “Death Race”.

Hello everyone,

found this gem on the EU server last night… this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on our forums. Damn good work, Tomkrist. And you, dear readers – enjoy :)
