Hello everyone,

second part od the Swedish series by sp15, enjoy!

As mentioned in the previous part, Sweden started to look for new tanks in 1928. This led to the modernization of Strv fm/21 and the purchase and unsuccessful trials of Renault NC-27. After the disappointing trials with Strv fm/28, it was decided to find another alternative. The requirements for a New Tank were set as follows:

- Weight of no more than 12 tons
- Frontal protection from 37mm guns
- Armament of both machineguns and a cannon
- Good mobility in Swedish terrain
- And at least 20kph sustainable speed on roads

Hello everyone,

what follows is the Wargaming text, given out to Wargaming stooges Community Contributors. Here goes:

Below you can see the menu for selection between historical battles which appears after you have entered the mode:

Okay guys, here’s the stream from yesterday, where I was a guest of Rita. It starts at roughly 1h02min of the stream (Rita was playing before that) and ends after roughly 2 hours.

Hello everyone,

today, we are going to talk about 16,5 centimeters of awesomeness. Sorry to disappoint you, ladies, I am of course talking about the L9 demolition gun caliber.

Now, everyone knows Churchill AVRE and its 290mm spigot mortar, hurling 18kg shells at 80 meters (it had actually longer range than that, but at longer ranges, it was not accurate enough to lead effective fire). With its massive armor and this kind of firepower, no wonder a lot of people would like to see it in World of Tanks. While Churchill AVRE is probably the best known AVRE vehicle, it’s certainly not the only one. It has a couple of “cousins” (some very distant ones) and one of them is the Centurion AVRE.

Hello everyone,

a lot of artillery players have noticed a bug, where shells tend to land all over the place, in a completely different sector or just outside of the screen. You can see it here (a video from Russian server):

Well, I have good news. Storm confirmed that this bug has been identified and it will be fixed in 9.0

Hello everyone,

according to the internal Community Contributor Wargaming forum post by Tuccy from today (should he be spreading it earlier than the release?), official 9.0 info (probably the ASAP magazine, but Edrard also mentioned a bunch of official screenshots coming this week) will arrive at 16:00 CET tomorrow. Looking forward to it :)

Tuccy: “Ahojte, pánové, Během dneška dostaneme nějaké nové informace k 9.0, které jsou určeny ke zveřejnění zítra v 16:00 SEČ. Kdo má zájem?”

(“Hi gentlemen, today, we will get some new pieces of info for 9.0, that are intended for publishing tomorrow at 16:00 CET. Who’s interested?”)

Tsk, tsk, tsk…

Hello everyone,

just quick heads up: today at 7PM (+1, CET), I will be a guest at Rita’s stream, talking about WoT, answering questions and such… like last time. Hope to see you there!
