A little piece of 9.0 testing by MAI_WAIFUTRAGER_E100 from US server (I know, right? Dat nick…). The test of KV-5 ammo rack explosion was successful. Maybe too much…

Hello everyone,

in his post, Storm shows how the T-54 turret armor will change. Every model, that gets transferred to HD quality, will have its armor changed – some slightly, some significantly so. Most of the time it’s about the increase of number of armor zones. In connection with this, Storm admits that they made a mistake, when they made the 9.0 turret armor for the test. Check this out. This is how it looks now (8.11):

Hello everyone,

an interesting piece of news from Russia. On 12.4.2014, an event will take place at the world-famous Kubinka tank museum, celebrating the release of Patch 9.0 (that gives us an idea for when the patch is planned, doesn’t it). For the event visitors, there will be contests, competitions and gifts, discussion with developers and of course, there will be the possibility to check out the tank exposition itself. World of Tanks: Rush card game will be sold there as well and so will the plastic kits of a company called “Zvezda”.

The event is closed and there are only 1500 spots for the participants, who have to apply at World of Tanks site – first 1500 will get in.

Cool!

Hello everyone,

Girls und Panzer voicepack is now available for download here. Here is the relevant Girls und Panzer webpage and here is the World of Tanks announcement – with a guide how to install it.

I wonder what’s next – ponies?

Hello everyone,

as you probably know from yesterday, in current round of the 9.0 test, there were some changes made to the Historical Battles mode. You can read about them in detail under the post. So, naturally, I wanted to try them out and here’s what I learned.

Overall, these chages were definitely positive. The increase of tanks per battle definitely had a positive effect on all three of them (I will write about that in a second). They changed the ammunition setups – that change seems a bit pointless though, because the amount of gold ammo generally wasn’t increased and I never reached a point, where I would be even close to running out of AP ammunition. Two things I however uncovered, that are not directly related to historical battles. First is the faulty Panzer III camo I didn’t notice before (I believe more models suffer from this effect) – in particular, the wheels are now covered by it, but in an incorrect way (no, this was not indended):

It looks just weird. Second bug is that when you press “tab” to bring up the battle team roster screen, it will get stuck, until you press “escape” for the menu to appear and then “return to battle”. Anyway, back to HB’s – you know I am a fan of German tech in general, so I tested the battles with either Panzer IV or Panther. Panther in particular is insane fun in all three battles and I can wholeheartedly suggest it :)

Hello everyone,

next tier 10 discount on US server is T110E3. I have no idea what the EU discount is going to be (whether it’s out yet) unfortunately, as these now differ from one another. Same goes for SEA.

Hello everyone,

ever wondered, how IS-4 looks inside? A well-known Russian author, Maksim Kolomiec, is preparing a book about its development for Wargaming (specifically, Tactical Press publishing company). Here’s a preview of it, a colored cut, made by Pavel Shitkin.
