Just a quick update: Ectar posted that EU server will also have the KV-220. I’ll wait for the announced price, but the tank itself is kinda meh. Apart from OMGWHEREDIDYOUGETIT effect, I see no point in buying it.

NA Server – KV-220 on sale
Hello everyone,
so, the mysterious tank for Monday to be sold on US server turns out to be KV-220. KV-220 was a betatest Soviet tank (sort of underpowered, quite rare).
So far, this offer is US server only – I wonder if Europe will be getting the same thing.

8.10 – KTTS/ASAP magazine (Russian)
Hello everyone,
since I am not sure how fast the English version of ASAP will there be, here’s it in Russian, with translations and comments:
This time it’s with Stanislav “Veider” Kargin. In 8.10 there will be Japanese tanks and reworked maps. Here we can see the reworked El Halluf (with a hill in the middle)
27.11.2013
- both the L7 gun and the engine on Type 61 tier 9 Japanese MT are historical according to SerB
- regular Type 98 Ke-Ni in game will have Hara suspension (SS: Christie suspension “Otsu” version will possibly be a premium tank)
- Japanese heavy branch is being developed
- according to developers, radio mechanism is working fine and its impact on gameplay is sufficient, especially on low and mid tiers
- too early to evaluate the new 8.9 TD statistics
“The analysis of new vehicles doesn’t begin immediately – not by a longshot. Of course, it is constantly monitored and analyzed, but when it comes to new vehicles, unlocked in the beginning by experienced or active players, of course their stats go up and down. And when finally the majority of players gets used to the vehicle, other players develop tactics against this vehicle and when it is played by all who wanted to unlock it and not only those who succeeded, it is then when we start considering the statistics valid and make decisions”

8.10 Russian tech tree
Hello everyone,
since everyone’s been asking, what happens with T-54, Object 430 and 140 in 8.10 and all that, here’s how it’s going to be:
Notice the (rather high) XP requirement for Object 430 (260k) and the fact Object 416 will lead to both Object 430V2 and T-54.

8.10 Japanese tank stats
US server: Monday – “Secret” Tank in Gift Shop
Hello everyone,
as the American readers probably already noticed (this might be interesting also for us Europeans, since WG EU claims the events to be the same), as a part of the Thanksgiving weekend (next weekend), there will be a special “Cyber Monday” gift shop offer of an undisclosed tank:
Cyber Monday Premium Shop Bundles – December 2-3
We’ve still got something special to end the holiday weekend as we offer a host of bundles featuring a certain tank with its own mythological reputation.
Mythological reputation? What could it be? Some speculate (thanks to Chris9000 for the link) that it might be the Type 59. Somehow, I really doubt it. My GUESS? KV-5. Anyway, I like the fact they present it this way, should be a very nice surprise for the American players.
