0.9.4.2 Tomorrow

Hello everyone,

just letting you know that the second hotfix patch on EU server is due tomorrow morning. Its contents:

- fixed the M53/M55 collision model
- fixed the incorrect display of regular XP recieved in the post-battle debriefing window (SS: that’s the “got wrong XP” bug)
- returned the sound of tracks when the tank is moving
- fixed the constant popping up of the tutorial window bug

Meanwhile in Romania…

Thanks to MaverickShevy for the photos.

Meanwhile near Piesti, Romania – two T-54 tanks are randomly parked on the same spot since 1996 (or possibly even earlier). Nobody really knows who’s responsible for them and nobody seems to care. Apparently, they just get cleaned from time to time by municipal services. So, who wants a free tank?

Valid Invite Code

Hello everyone,

an universal invite code, that works for US and EU server (repeatable, at least that’s how it worked for me, I tested it). Thanks to Kohzo and Alfalis (both of which sent me the same code and I was like wut?)

Special Individual Missions For Returning Players – Time-Limited

Hello everyone,

by now, you probably know about the concept of individual missions. Simply put, they are missions that some players have and others don’t. Please don’t confuse it with the upcoming 9.5 feature, the individual missions for all players. The “first round” of these are the missions intended for players, who were inactive for a long time:

- for simple return and playing one battle: 7 days premium account
- play 15 battles: 10 gold repair kits, 500 gold, 500k credits
- win 10 battles: 10 gold medkits, 500 gold, 500k credits
- gain 25k XP: 10 gold extinguishers, 500 gold, 500k credits
- do all the missions above, get Dicker Max

Anyway, you already know that. What you do not know however is that this mission is time limited. It has to be completed until 1.1.2015 – this date seems to be common to all the players, so if you “return” tomorrow, you’ll have one day less to complete it.

Many thanks to maXTC for this info.

Artillery Returns Video

Hello everyone,

here’s a really nicely done Russian frag video with… you guessed it, artillery! The real unicum nightmare begins, as multiple hightier tanks get oneshotted by the massive T92 and other artillery vehicles. Enjoy!

Oh and thanks to Nekojima from US server for linking it.

 

Patently Absurd – Part IV: USA

Part I – France: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/11/05/pate … -i-france/
Part II – UK: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/11/07/pate … d-kingdom/
Part III – Germany: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/11/14/pate … i-germany/

Okay, so in the previous articles, some commenters complained that things were absurd enough. Now, we have to look at the United States with its history of producing rather banal but effective tanks. With a reputation for good reliability and sound engineering, the USA can’t possibly have any dark secrets? Think again…
