Edit: competition over, we have a winner!
Alright guys,
I’ve prepared a competition for you – I hope you like it :) It’s very, very simple. I will post a picture under this text and your task will be to identify this tank. The prize will be:
For EU server: Monthly Boost Package (3500 gold, 100k silver, 30 days premium)
For US server: 6500 gold
But…
Hello everyone,
well, looks like I made a “slight” mistake in my VK3001P article. Basically what happened was: I took two sources, that are usually reliable (because they themselves use Jentz, Doyle and Spielberger) as reference: I.Pejčoch’s “Obrněná technika” series and www.valka.cz (which usually uses Pejčoch/Doyle/Spielberger for reference).
- there will be no compensation for Panther engines removed from the vehicles
- apparently, more players using the same nickname won’t be implemented (SS: as in, you won’t be able to choose a nickname that’s already in use)
- players dropping into 6 same maps for 2 days straight? “How terrible” (SS: maps are selected randomly, according to devs)
Thanks to whoever sent me this, next time give proper name so I can credit you :)

Summary:
Russian Ministry of Defense started organizing a tank-based competition of crew and gunnery tank skills. So far, it’s only a Russian event, but by 2014, NATO and US Army are expected to join.
The basic idea behind the tank contest is simple and repeats the rules of the classic biathlon: cover about 20km in shortest time while successfully hitting your targets.
More details and pictures in the linked article. However, one thing is very interesting: the official MOD video (check the music, familiar?)
Hello everyone,
with the upcoming changes to VK3001H, a question has arisen: can we expect the VK3001P to be “rebalanced” this way too – and pushed back to tier 5?
Check out the newest Chieftain’s Hatch, guys – deicated to the 75mm/76mm Sherman
Also, for those of you interested in Clan stuff, check out this site called wotclans.net, that shows Clan rating and other stuff.
And there is also Listy’s new article from the Great War…
- 8.8 will bring an interesting feature: players, who lose the battle, but get one of the medals or achievements in the game (you know, sniper, steel wall and all those others) will get the same amout of credits and XP, as if he won!
- according to The_Chieftain, there might be a second Stalin-style “affair” incoming next week:
Q: “The whole Stalin rage came from one incident, raged for a few days, got largely doused by three days of free premium account and unless somehow rekindled (and WG would have to be braindead to poke in this again), it’s not going to reappear on any large scale.”
A: “Yeah, about that…. I think they’re going to poke again next week.”

Hello everyone, today, we are going to try something new. We have an article here from CaptainNemo about USS Alaska. Now, I am not into ships that much, but I think it’s really cool and I am looking forward to trying World of Warships, so – why the hell not. Enjoy!
USS Alaska Series: Background and Design
Before we begin, further articles will cover: “The Guns”, “Operational History” and “Comparison between other similar ships of the time.” And in the guns and comparison section I hope to discuss more of World of Warships. ~ CaptianNemo
- no new crew skills/perks will come in 2013
- the reason of VK3001H 8.8 change was not to nerf or buff it, but to simply build the German heavy Henschel branch
- VK3001H will lose the 88mm gun on tier 5 (SS: as expected)
EU1 down, EU2 overloaded – yes guys, I know, no need to notify me more. NA server is working fine, but RU server had some issues like this today too. WG tech guys are working on fixing that, ETA is currently unknown.
Hello everyone,
today, we have a very special edition of the Hall of Shame, because a player named MakoSV managed to catch an account scammer in action and took screenies to prove it. So, everyone, meet:
Hokej83 from clan [CAK] C. a k. 1.Dragounský pluk
This guy whispers to players and tries to convince them to give him their password, so he can “hack Wargaming and add gold to their account”. Needless to say, that’s retarded, but newbies/kids might actually fall for that. Here we can see him in action:
Translation from Czech:
Hokej83: Are you here?
MakoSV: Hi, yes
Hokej83: Do you want 999 gold and 1 000 0000 silver on your account
MakoSV: Will you send them to me? :)
Hokej83: I have 100 000 gold and 6 mil silver if you want for your accout
Hokej83: No, I have to “hack” them if you want, it’s for free
MakoSV: How?
Hokej83: You have to give your account to me, I already did that with 6 players and they thank me a lot
Hokej83: maus01 miskas333 already thanked me and it’s cool
