Hello everyone,
despite the fact that the complete version of 9.5 was not even supertested yet (several lowtier tanks are not even released on supertest), it seems that according to WG information, 9.5 common test will start on Thursday, 27.11.2014.
Yea. This is going to go so well.

Upcoming tier 7 British TD from 9.5, the mashup of Challenger and Avenger vehicles. The model is screwed up for unknown reasons (parts are missing as you can see) – either by the viewer or on WG side.
Statistics for 100 percent crew:
Hello everyone,
earlier I wanted to write a very long post about this and the future of FTR (my thoughts and stuff), but – I mean… it’s too early I guess and even I am really not sure what I am going to do about it and how to improve everything. One thing is sure though, for better and for worse, after Christmas, FTR will transform to its “final form”, that will stick until the days of FTR are over.
In the meanwhile, still working on content for the AW FTR, that will run on blogspot. Design looks like crap, but that’s not why you come here anyway, right? Anyway, back to the original purpose of this thread – it’s contributor recognition time!
This time, following people donated via Paypal:
Anton T. (Russia)
MaxMcMetal (Germany) – thanks for a VERY generous contribution mate, much appreciated :)

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it, as always.

Hello everyone,

- reload time buffed from 7,1s to 6,5s
- dispersion on the move buffed from 0,12 to 0,1

Thanks to Sycopanth for letting me know (why post this stuff in clan section? Wargaming… *sigh*)
Hello everyone,
something very strange happened recently. Ever heard of Jove? He’s basically a Russian version of Quickybaby – a Wargaming-friendly videomaker/streamer, who gets promoted and has access to exclusive stuff (testing various not-yet-released tanks and such).
Oddly enough, today, Jove got bitchslapped with a copyright claim from Wargaming for publishing content (making a video), that was leaked earlier on various Russian sites and communities (world-of-ru, Wotleaks, FTA and others) – specifically it was the part about the Individual Missions.
Not quite sure why they did that – I mean, the info was out there anyway and supertest leaks are actually tolerated simply because there’s no real way how to stop them without completely changing the system (which, in the middle of production, would likely not go well). A futile gesture, that will not stop the info from being spread, but will certainly annoy Jove (I know I was actually annoyed when they took down the WoWs leak on my channel, I had to watch this stupid anti-piracy video – how terrible, but serves me right (for failing to recognize WoWs leaks are not taken as lightly as WoT ones)). So, my sympathies, Jove.
So, what exactly does Wargaming not want you to see? You can read it here.
Hello everyone,
remember the “Nuts and Bolts” (or how is it called) series from the EU server, describing various parts of the vehicle? Well, Russian server has that too (translated into Russian of course), but they also have another series, called Evolution of Tanks. It is narrated by Dmitryi “Goblin” Puchkov, who is apparently a well-known person in Russia for his translations of movies to Russian.
It’s longer, more detailed and pretty interesting. And it has (at least this part does) English subtitles. So, you can have a look – don’t forget to turn the subtitles on.
Hello everyone,
you probably heard about the screwup with the SU-76I. It did put Wargaming into an uncomfortable situation – now that it’s out, they can’t nerf it (it’s a premium tank after all), all the while the vehicle in the game is clearly overpowered. And so, they will have to introduce another lowtier tank destroyer to replace it I guess. And what do you know – there are two perfect candidates for the role, the SU-74 and SU-57b (the third one would be OP I guess).
In the summer of 1943, the designers of the GAZ plant under the leadership of N.A.Astrov (famous Soviet vehicle designer, responsible for example for the T-60, T-70, T-80 or SU-76M) created two light tank destroyer projects and offered them to the national commissariat of tank industry under the designation of GAZ-74.
Enjoy!
Thanks to Nixxxie for this one.
Hello everyone,
not so long ago, finnish Panzer IV was up for sale by the Finnish military, but this time, an American company Northeast Military Vehicle Services LLC is selling something else: a restored M18 Hellcat!
It’s not cheap though, the current price is 275k USD, which is cca 221,7k EUR. The vehicle is completely restored and running. The owner states:
This tank was restored from a completely bare, empty hull. Motor was stripped apart, cleaned up, and put back together. Fully functional little joe generator. This tank needs nothing except for you to apply the stencils, and I have a full set from Rick Larson waiting to be applied. Turret hydraulics are fully functional, allowing manual or powered traverse.
So, who wants a Hellcat? 17 days left!
