Hello everyone,
for some strange reason (not sure what triggered it), yesterday I recieved 5 e-mails about the same thing: allegedly “leaked” Japanese tank tree, that looks like this:
Long story short: it’s a fake. It originally comes from an April thread by a Chinese player and it’s a fan creation. Amongst other things, it contains a number of fake tanks and various strange contraptions, so don’t be fooled by it.

Hello everyone,
I reported this before (a day or two ago), but just to make sure everyone’s ready: World of Tanks are transferring to the new ActionScript 3 system. That means the great majority of mods (if not all of them) will cease to function in 8.8 and it will probably take time to rewrite them for the new system (more time than usual, that is).
…the Warsaw Pact armies invaded Czechoslovakia, ending the slow but steady Czechoslovak return from failed communism attempt that ended in one party dictatorship to normal society. Half a million Soviet, Polish, Hungarian and Bulgarian soldiers participated in the “operation Danube”. Sporadic resistance from the people of Czechoslovakia led so some dramatic events and roughly a hundred dead on both sides (most invader casualities came from accidents).

Some supertest vehicles….
Marder 3 (tier 4)
- account to account gold transfer (SS: apart from the gift shop) won’t be implemented, as it holds no advantage for WG
- SerB on tanks without healthbars (SS: as in, any hit could potentially kill a tank): “This variant has been tested and scrapped a long time ago. It was tried like that during one part of the alpha test. The gameplay was worse than it is now, the influence of skill was even smaller and the influence of luck was greater. It won’t be implemented. As an example of this, I suggest reading the mass whining of War Thunder players about their planes incomprehensibly ‘eating’ damage.”
- in 0.8.8, 112 and T-34-3 tanks will not be available via the ingame shop, only via gift shop (SS: the question is related to RU server, but it’s likely this will happen everywhere) temporarily, because the developers want to “control the amount of these vehicles in game and taking them down from the shop is easier, removing them out of the ingame shop requires a micropatch”.
Hello everyone,
most of you have probably already seen (or at least heard of) the Wargaming 15 year anniverary company history video. If there’s someone who has not, here it is in English:
So, I’ve seen it and…
Hello everyone,
yesterday, while listing thru a book, I ran into this interesting little project of a vehicle, that might eventually appear in the Japanese tech tree. Meet the Ho-Ru, Japanese Marder.
Hello everyone,
today, we have to new “inductees” into the Hall of Shame, that took the rage to another level.
First is Cantak – apparently, he has some deeply buried strange sexual desires, since he feels like it’s appropriate to threaten someone’s mother with rape… ugh.
Again, not much info today.
- Q: “Severogorsk is tiny and should drop only for lowtier tanks” A: “Your opinion is very important to us” (SS: eg. it won’t be changed)
- Swedish Rikstanken (based on the L-120) apparently won’t be implemented, as it is armed with a 7,92mm machinegun (SerB: “And who do you want to knock out with such a caliber?”) (SS: the fact something is equipped with a 7,92mm MG does NOT mean it can be implemented, regular 7,92mm AP shells have less than 10mm of penetrating power, the Panzer I Ausf.C gun is very, very specific in this)
- if you start teamdamaging SerB in random battle, you will get a temporary ban
- SerB on alleged leak of T57 HT nerf: “We don’t comment leaks” (SS: there is news about a possible T57 nerf, I confirmed it with WG RU, T57 won’t be touched for now, so it’s just a hoax)
- if you sell the Superpershing for gold, there will be no compensation for gold camo or inscriptions
- on Live Oaks map (and some others), there are some very tricky steep shores, if you drive on them, you will slide into water without the possibility to do anything. This won’t be changed.
- official XP formula won’t be disclosed
Hello everyone,
player Lorenzo_Ruiz from SEA server decided to share a bunch of interesting vehicle photos with us. They come from a private tank museum in Virginia USA, that was opened for public only recently. Some of the pics are really cool, enjoy.
M36 Jackson – notice the interesting story
