Hello everyone,
I normally don’t repost Russian documents (that’s Ensign’s domain in general), but every now and then something quite interesting comes up. A lot of people actually ask “how much did a turret of tank XY weight” and the answer is usually not very obvious and not that easy to find. Yuri Pasholok however posted a Russian document, where these weights are written for Soviet purposes.
Hello everyone,
so, did you sell a premium/gift/reward tank and are sorry you did that? Fear not. US server introduced an automated system, where you can actually recover the tanks lost. These include for example sold Christmas reward tanks, beta-test tanks and many more.
Currently, this system is available only on the US server (not sure about RU, haven’t checked, but not on EU anyway). The policy for restoring vehicles is also changed. US community staff Jewel_Thief:
Along with this service, we’re introducing a new policy on the restoration of Premium vehicles. You’ll have 72 hours to restore any accidentally-sold Premium vehicle. This process can be completed for an unlimited number of vehicles, provided timely use of the tool. You can also restore any number of Unique vehicles one time every 180 days per vehicle.
Via SerB.
For those of you unfamiliar with Russian politics, Dmitriy “Nanotolievich” Medvedev is the guy that kept Putin’s chair warm for a while and pretended that he wasn’t Putin at all. Apparently Putin still keeps him around as the lovable clumsy George Bush-like oaf to his cruel and calculating Dick Cheney, so Medvedev gets to talk about things once in a while. Like in this video, where he’s talking about something tedious. No one really cares.
The interesting part is around 4:06 when he’s showing off a portal for government services. Zoom, enhance!
Hello everyone,

Thanks to Glitch for letting me know about this.
Hello everyone,
I usually don’t post upcoming missions, but the missions, that are coming, are very, very interesting.
These missions will be active from Saturday morning (12.4.2014) to Tuesday morning (15.4.2014). These missions are:
- get 10k XP total (while being in top 10 of the team), get 30g
- win 5 random battles while being in top 5 XP-wise, get 30g
- cause 7000 damage in platoon, get 3x gold repair kit
All these missions are apparently repeatable!
and
- complete all of the above at least once, get 3 days of premium account
Not bad!
Hello everyone,
according to the info from Czech section (and probably elsewhere as well), Karl won’t disappear from the hangar until 9.0 hits the live server and will be playable as well (the 8bit mode, disabled previously, will return)

With the start of World War Two, Sweden had seen success of the German and Russian assault guns, especially vehicles like the Stug 3. And so, in September 1941, a decision was taken that assault guns should be introduced to the Swedish army. The role of these assault guns would be to support infantry with mobile direct or indirect artillery fire, as well as to provide some anti-tank capability.
Hello everyone,
despite the fact the last round of testing of 9.0 was supposed to be the last one, some serious issues and bugs came up and today, another round of the test was started (the patch has 261,78 MB). List of changes is not yet available.

Hello everyone,
today’s review will be a bit special, since it’s the first time (first month) the Patreon system was in use. I am actually quite surprised it worked exactly as well as was advertised – there is usually some sort of catch involved, but not this time.
To sum it up:
http://www.patreon.com/silentstalker
This is the Patreon account of For the Record. In case you read this for the first time and feel like contributing, here is an explanation what it is, how it works and how to contribute. You can find a list of all those, who pledged and help to keep FTR running here.
On April 1st, Patreon billed those, who pledged. Out of 566 USD pledged, 526 USD went through successfully (the rest either didn’t allow the payment, cancelled it or encountered some other issue). Out of those 526 USD, 46,03 USD went to credit card fees, 26,34 USD went to Patreon as a fee for running the service, leaving 453,63 USD for FTR – thank you all, who managed to make this possible!
Of course, some people contributed via Paypal “Donate” button as well, these are:

T-28 (Austria)
MKW (Hong Kong)
Tom K. (Germany)
maho325 (Czech Republic)
Dan S.H. (Romania)
Aurelien M. (France)
Thanks to all of you guys :) Very much appreciated.
Special thanks to Cyrkon for saving me a Chi-Nu Kai code from WGL Finals!
