Hello everyone,
you asked about the Object 260 and T28 Concept armor layout, so here it is. Notice several things:
- the mantlet of Object 260 is only 250mm thick, unsloped and there is nothing behind it
- Object 260 roof is extremely thin
- the T28 Concept miniturrets on each side are only 101mm thick
(note that the T28 Concept gun traverse is 30 degrees on each side with cca 4,5 degrees of gun depression)
Hello everyone,
this is part 2 of the photo set from the Americans in Wartime Museum by SpartanGuard (US server). Enjoy!

Hello everyone,
as a part of the Wargaming Soviet WW2 history initiative “Remember Everything”*, Wargaming, along with volunteers from the ranks of World of Tanks players, were cleaning up and repainting the armor collection of the museum called “Weapons of Victory” in the city of Krasnodar (Kuban region). A part of the armored vehicles in the city is located in the “30th Anniversary of Victory” park (founded in 1975) and they were in very rough shape. World of Tanks players helped to restore them.
There are English subtitles.
The video is relatively interesting, have you noticed the IS-3 though? Is it just me, or the shape of the turret and the slopes of frontal armor look a bit… off? Well, at least compared to the only other IS-3 I’ve seen in real life and to the ingame model. An odd thing too: the museum curator said that “every tank took part in combat action” – even the IS-3? Where? Does middle east count?
Odd.
*unless it’s 1939-1941, you better forget that!
Hello everyone,
the micropatch today (apart from the Fury garage) brought us new faces for the “Fury” crew, along with the names from the movie (these are marked as “unavailable” for now). So now you can stare at wannabe Shia LeBoeuf and Brad Pitt in your garage as well. Although… is it just me, or do these faces look nothing like the actors?
As usual, these are only preliminary and possibly partial. No HD models.
Vehicles:
- M56 Scorpion, Panzer II Ausf.D, Object 260, T-55A, Panther 88, T28 Concept, StuG IV added for supertesters only
- T-34-3 and AT-15A recieved a buff (unspecified)
- camo coefficient of T-54 Light fixed
- fixed bugs in visual models of SU-100, IS-7, Jagdpanther, M24 Chaffee
- fixed bugs in collision models of M-24 Chaffee, KV-85
- fixed the names of the T67 turrets
- Veider on some of the comments regarding supertest vehicle stats: “stats of unfinished leaked tanks can be very different from their release version. It’s pointless to discuss those stats. Discuss only the look of the vehicle. Although it too can change in the final version.”
- apparently, the Object 260 will not be a CW/SH reward tank
- Storm states that the “1mm” armor of the Scorpion is historical, it was just a metal sheet on the frame to protect the crew from the elements, like a car
- Storm states that this picture, showing the Object 260, is incorrect. Developers used this drawing as reference instead.
- Q: “If Object 260 will be available for random players, I’ll sell my kidney to get it and then I’ll wank over it” A: “You don’t have to sell your kindey to wank :)”
- details about how to get Object 260 will come later but it will NOT be a CW vehicle
- German T55A? Storm: “It’s more like trolling of germanlovers than oppressing the sovietlovers.”
- Evilly on FV4202 switch: “If there is a mission to get the FV4202, it will be activated by the presence of FV4202 in the hangar”
- new sounds will come very soon
Hello everyone,
what follows is something quite extraordinary. It is not that often that someone manages to find something completely new in the archives and gets the opportunity to publish it. In this case, it was Renhaxue (US forums), who found the following tank in the Swedish archives he keeps digging. Credits go to sp15 as well. Thank you, guys.
Basically, what we have here is a new version of Praga V-8-H medium tank from 1941 with TNH-type suspension. It’s designated “V8H-Sv”.
Hello everyone,
about the last post with the statitics of the IS-7 prototype, Object 260. As you might have figured out, the pictures are not leaks, they come straight from Wargaming. Unfortunately, Wargaming released that wrong, the Object 260 characteristics are placeholders.
The vehicle characteristics were changed as such:
Penetration from 225/265/68 to 260/340/68
The frontal turret plate is 350mm (as the post says), but that’s just a really small part. The mantlet is 250mm thick. And so, the vehicle has following characteristics:
Tier 10 HT
Hitpoints: 2100
Engine: 1200 hp
Weight: 61,3 tons
Power-to-weight: 19,57 hp/t
Maximum speed: 60 km/h
Hull traverse: 28 deg/s
Hull armor: 150/150/70
Turret armor: 350/240/100
Gun: 122mm BL-13-1
Damage: 390/390/465
Penetration: 260/340/68
DPM: 1903
ROF: 4,88
Accuracy: 0,37
Aimtime: 2,8s
Turret traverse: 26 deg/s
Viewrange: 400
Radiorange: 720
Hello everyone,
this one comes direct from Wargaming, the new vehicle characteristics, as they appear in 9.4 supertest. Statistics are unmodified, “garage” ones.
Object 260 Model 1945
