Wargaming buys a 30 percent share in a bank

Thanks to “grekios” for letting me know.

Some of you guys might have read the earlier post about Wargaming wanting to buy a bank share on Cyprus.

Well, they did. Wargaming bought a 30 percent share of the Hellenic Bank for 40 mil. Euro. An American hedge fund Third Point bought another 30 percent for 40 mil. Euro and 15 percent was bought for 20 mil. Euro by a Cypriot investment company Demetra.

More details in English in the article, if you are interested. So, I wonder what else is on V.Kislyi’s shopping list. I can imagine it looking like that:

How to make easy 250k

Hello everyone,

so, yes, this is about another WG fail, but this time, you can use it to your benefit. What is this about? The November mission “Tanking 24/7″. As you probably know, the goal of this mission is to destroy 24 opponents and survive 7 battles. But here’s a twist: the earlier mission description was worded (and probably intended) so that you have to destroy 24 vehicles and AFTER that to survive 7 battles.

In typical Wargaming EU fashion, they screwed up the mission implementation however: it’s possible to achieve both goals at the same time: if you kill enemies AND survive the mission, both missions progress at the same time. It’s likely this will stay as it is now, as the mission description was stealth changed.

This makes the mission very easy to complete, I got the 250k after 14 or so battles (granted, I had two Top Gun battles in it). So – enjoy :)

WG NA fail combo

Hello everyone,

usually, American Wargaming portal stays out of my scope, but in last few days managed to score an impressive fail combo, the kind fail that is usually reserved for Wargaming EU.

First, there is the quality portal. So, apparently, M48A1 is a heavy tank. With heavy armor. And you know what? T2 LT is a heavy tank too! You don’t believe me? Check this out:

Hello everyone,

on his blog, Yuri Pasholok posted answers to two questions, that seem to appear on RU forums.

Q: Why does the Sturer Emil carry only 15 rounds of ammunition? Wiki and other sites state 18!

Answer lies in this picture (Sturer Emil’s combat compartment with ammo slots designated in numbers – it’s really 15)
