Another video by Challenger.
Enjoy!
As usual, there are small things that are not historically totally correct (like the conversion of StuG III into AT role meaning the infantry was left without infantry support SPG, it was not), but compared to the last G-13 video, it’s better. The “three M4 Shermans killed by Sturmtiger” is – as far as I know – a hoax, either started by some unreliable books or the internet.

Hello everyone,
this is another patent archive gem, brought to you by the two authors named above. Enjoy!
Paul-Werner Krapke proposed this vehicle in or around 1983. Krapke was connected to the design of the Leopard tank series, as he was Chief of the Leopard II design team, so expect this vehicle to be heavily based on the Leopard II tank underneath. The task of the vehicles was primarily to fight enemy MBT’s and armoured vehicles and to improve the anti-tank capabilities in the range of up to 2000m while being capable of defeating current and next generation tanks.
Hello everyone,
here’s the (Russian for now) video for Individual missions. English subtitles are available.
Notice how Wargaming plays the “this tank is a reward only for skilled players” angle. Well, it might certainly be true to some extent, but the first set of missions for StuG IV doesn’t seem that difficult. The important part is that if you don’t manage to fulfill both primary and secondary objectives, it’s possible to re-select the mission and try it again.
Oh yea and the special girl crew perk activates only in girl-only crew, it does NOT mix with BIA.
Hello everyone,
not so long ago, Storm stated that the AMX-40 would get a second turret of some sort, with an upgraded gun but with less armor. Well… if you were wondering what kind of turret will it be, it’s this as far as I know:
As far as I could find out, this was never a real project (for the AMX-40 anyway), more like an idea of what the turret might have looked like, were it developed into the early 40′s (if the occupation did not happen of course). As you can see, the FCM turret is larger, providing more space for crew (it’s a three man turret), but also for additional armament. According to AMX designer Joseph Molinié, upgrades were considered – for example a 75mm gun, but that’s about as far as it went. It’s possible another (more powerful) 75mm gun will appear on AMX-40 in the future, as well as somewhat more powerful engine.
Hello everyone,
a couple of guys got their hands on the 9.6 supertest client and mined it for content. One of the interesting things they found were the pieces of information about the new artillery and air strike consumables for Stronghold mode. Some of it is already known (see earlier post today), but there are also the artillery parameters. Pretty interesting. Of course, those numbers are just temporary.

Thanks to Barambas for this one. I don’t think it needs any comments.
Hello everyone,
as predicted, tomorrow, in the morning, minipatch 9.5.1 will be applied to EU server, activating the individual missions. We will finally see the list of missions in tomorrow’s patch as well.
Oh yes and one more thing. The girl crews will have male voiceovers, as confirmed by Erissa, WG EU employee. I am sure we are all excited about our new drag queen crews. Hell, maybe they even decided to replace China in the game with Thailand…
