Tank Commanders,

We have received reports that our Combat Missions: Extreme has been very well received. Many of you have begun to work towards completing said missions, and the chance to receive the IS-6 Heavy Tank as a reward.

However, the going has been tough, and we would like to give you a boost. Because of this, we have decided to give you a boost with a secret special: for this weekend only, ALL of your victories in the battlefield will gain 2x EXP. Furthermore, this EXP bonus will be counted towards the mission requirements needed to get the IS-6 reward!

…..so, can we get that too? Or is it “no bonus for you, capitalists” again?

Hello everyone,

this historical post will not feature any tanks (although there are armored cars and trains), it will instead be about one of the most glorious military chapters of Czechoslovak history and – without any overstatement – one of the most daring military undertakings in history of wars, the struggle of Czechoslovak legions in Russia after the end of WW1. This campaign has everything: stunning victories, crushing defeats, suicidal bravery, glorious last stands and a small “underdog” army fighting (and defeating) the forces of entire Russia. So sit back and enjoy.

The history of the Legion formation is actually quite complicated and we will get to that in detail perhaps later. Suffice to say that as early as 1914, Czechoslovak volunteers were gathering on the Russian side of the conflict in order to fight the Germans and Austrians. These men had no love for the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and were supported by the “exile” Czechoslovak leadership (including T.G.Masaryk, a legendary figure, who would later become the first president of independent Czechoslovakia). At first, these men were viewed with suspicion by the Russians, but after 1917 battle of Zborov (one of the most glorious military moments of Czechoslovak history), they rescinded the limits imposed on the Czechoslovak units and what started as a company grew quickly into a regular army, that – at the peak of its power – had around 100 thousand men at arms, including its own armor (cars and trains), air force and artillery.

Hello everyone,

here are a few more pictures of the T95E6 that got leaked yesterday. According to Storm, however, this tank will NOT be a regular unlockable vehicle, it’s a “special” tank (as in, a reward tank, possibly for CW)

Hello everyone,

this might not be something new for some of you, but those not oldschool enough might have not heard. Wargaming is generally an eco-friendly company, because it recycles – this is not a bad thing actually, it’s just a statement. Take for example the following case, posted on RU forums by Maiorboltach. Before World of Tanks, Wargaming produced a strategy game called the Order of War. Order of War was somewhat successful – but this is another matter entirely. Anyway, check this out.

Order of War victory theme:

Hello everyone,

the 3.0 version of the Winter Mod is out. In Christmas mood and not feeling like playing desert and green maps? No problem, this excellent mod will make all the maps and vehicles look like winter. This mod is 8.10 compatible.

Installation:

As usual – unpack the mod into the World of Tanks mod folder (res_mods – C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods for example), it’s compatible with 90 percent of all mods, but it doesn’t hurt to disable

Download:

Here directly – warning, the mod is HUGE (3,1GB)

Please note that this mode CAN cause reduced FPS, it is not recommended for very weak computers

Hello everyone,

some info about an interesting situation came up. Basically, on SEA (ASIA) server, Vietnamese players have the option to pay in Vietnamese currency (VND) – and the following happened:

Someone responsible for the shop in Wargaming made a decimal point mistake and set the price of a Lowe to 10721 VND, which is like 0,37 EUR. This bug is for VN players only and current fix ETA is unknown. Other tier 8′s have their prices wrong too.

Hello everyone,

you might have noticed I stopped posting invite codes. That’s because some (not all, but some definitely) invite codes EXPIRE and I don’t exactly know when (I think it’s simply on 1.1.2014 00:01) – I am grateful to everyone who submitted the invite codes recently, but please do not send the codes to me anymore for now, enjoy the holidays, we will start with codes again next year (with fresh sources).

For those who do want invite codes, they can always use the Alienware offer.

So, the Russians have a special trailer for the Japanese tanks :) Yes, Japanese tanks fight monster and giant robots (there are even tentacles, all that’s missing are schoolgirls).

 

 
It’s a bit of an “eastern” thing, as one Russian player on US server recently mentioned – those of us, who were born in the Warsaw Pact countries might remember the pirated copies of American movies with impassive Russian (or in my case Czech) voiceover over the original sound, this sounds exactly like it – a blast from the past.
