Hello everyone,

today, we have something special, a guest article by David “Listy” Lister. You probably know the game from EU portal, where he wrote several interesting articles for Challenger’s historical section.

Carrying a Name

One mistake I see over and over again, in both museums and on-line forums, is getting the name of armoured fighting vehicles wrong. One of the worst for this is the British Carrier family. What many don’t realise is that all the different names used for the vehicle are actually very specific models. So want to be able to correct someone, or point out that a display plaque is wrong at a museum? Then read on.

Hello everyone,

so, today in the morning, I finished the EU event mission, awarding the 1 million credits, 7 days of premium and some premium consumables (worth 300k in total, so that’s 1300k credits). As you might know (SEA also had this event, I thought NA had it too, but I was wrong), the goal was to gather 20 kills on StuG III, 20 on Type T-34 and 20 on Churchill I.

Another great video by Darth_Woras :)

- Storm on fixing longer waiting times on RU server: “It is now needed to trace (SS: as in ‘pin down’) existing problems so they can be fixed later”
- Q: “Why are Japanese tankers now so blonde and have names like Emil and Dietrich?” A: “Those are allied kids on an exchange trip” (SS: currently, Japanese crew in Chi Nu Kai – upcoming 8.9 premium Japanese tank – consists temporarily of German crewmen”
- when you lose, if you recieved certain awards, you will get the same XP/credit bonus as if you won (“curagous resistance”). Storm stated that other variants (SS: the asking player for example mentioned for damage done) are worse for various reasons (and when nagged further about this, he only replies: “envy is bad”)
