Insider Talks: Vehicle Rentals and Recruitment

Hello everyone,

today, the Insider brings two interesting tidbits of information. First, you know how a lot of people wanted the “tank rental” (hiring a premium tank for a limited time)? Apparently, developers are considering it. Recently, certain references were implemented in the upcoming WoT patch (0.9.4), pointing at the option to rent vehicles (unspecified what type) for a limited time either for credits, or for gold. Whether at all or when exactly this option will appear is not known.

Second interesting fact is that Wargaming is planning an invite program, called “Recruitment”. Basically, if you invite a player (friend or whatever) to play World of Tanks and you platoon with him/her, you will not only get bonuses in the game (bonus XP), you might also recieve unique tank as a reward, IF the recruit you brought in purchases a tier 10 vehicle. This too is in the 0.9.4 files, but there is no ETA on this feature either.

Hello everyone,

here’s how the Fury garage, that came in the 70 Mb minipatch, looks. Not bad, but nothing too special. I hope they return the poppy one in November.

Hello everyone,

So, thanks, Steve!

Panther Competition Results

Hello everyone,

here are the results of the Panther DVD Competition, in which you can win the Panther DVDs :)

The questions I asked were:

1. At one point, German engineers proposed a close-support direct fire assault gun based on the Panther chassis. What was its name, what was it supposed to be armed with? (Hint: there was more than one, if you know the other one, I will be impressed)

Answer: Sturmpanzer Panther (or Sturmmörser Panther). There were actually two versions. One was with the 150mm StuH 43 variant, mounted in turret. The other was basically a Sturmgeschütz with a 210mm mortar (no drawings were found, pretty obscure stuff).
