Hello everyone,

you might have noticed that there were no “WG FAIL” posts recently. Could it be? Is Wargaming EU doing stuff right?

I hate to disappoint you, but the lack of “WG FAIL” posts means only one thing. I didn’t write them – for various reasons really. I was bored with WoT, tired, or doing something else. But of course, as we all well know, hardly any weekend event comes without a fail and this weekend event is no exeption.

Not sure what Saint Patrick has to do with tanks, but there are a lot of discounts going on and that’s good. Too bad it’s only for one day, right? Check this out:

According to the portal:

But in the game:

“Finish time 18h 25 min”

Oooops. They will probably add new mission once this one runs out, but… you know… they wouldn’t have to, if they paid attention. As an added bonus, let’s see if the new mission added tomorrow will have any… changes :)

Thanks to carramba66 for this one.

Hey everyone,

have you noticed that they changed the way the portal player statistics look? I haven’t, but check this out. This is how the player profile, available via the portal, looks now (notice the important position of the player rating – which is weird, I preferred winrate):

Hello everyone,

Wargaming’s CEO, Viktor Kislyi, took recently a “trip” to EU server, using the new (still tested) roaming feature. Hey – his stats are not bad! Thanks to RoyM18 for sending in the screenie.

I intend to make Tiger Tales a series of articles covering the more obscure and unknown tanks from the Tiger chassis. The articles will more then likely not be very lengthily and may not always have photos simply because photos or drawings do not or did not exist to illustrate the design in question. – NEMO

The VK.45.02 Henschel is one of those tanks that is not an exotic tank like the VK.45.02 Porsche. It is a much more tame design by comparison. Although “design” is really the not right word for it, as the VK.45.02(H) was always more of a production modification than anything of the “normal” VK.45.01(H) Tiger I tank.

There were three proposals and attempts to produce the VK.45.02(H) during the war and all three were shot down almost as quickly as they were proposed. Lastly, one should keep in mind that the first 250 VK.45.01(H) Tiger I tanks were equipped with HL 210 P45 motors and the first 250 Panthers with the HL210 P30 motors.

Hello everyone,

after two years and a billion dollars, Wargaming NA finally released an official list of banned modifications. This will hopefully help clean up some of the misunderstandings, that were plaguing the community recently.

Currently, banned mods on US server are:

- 3D-Skins with Display of Modules and Crew Positions
- Removal of trees, leaves and bushes or change transparency
- “Lens scope” modification that removes tree leaves and alters bush transparency around the aiming reticle.
- Script automated use of manually activated equipment. I.E. Automatic use of Manual Fire Extinguisher
- Modified Tracer Display (case-by-case basis)
- Free camera
- Laser Reticle (red line starting from the gun barrel)
- Modified Tracer Display (case-by-case basis)
- Mini Map modifications that passively provide information to the individual player without the use of active teamwork.

If you are interested in what is each mod and how does it look, click on the link above and check out the pictures in the thread. There are four things that however caught my eye.

- white corpses are not banned, which is odd, considering they actually are banned on EU server, according to support at least
- the minimap mode seems to be banned altogether, which is good, but I wonder if ALL the elements displayed on the example picture (such as your own turret aiming direction, enemy turret direction on minimap) are banned, or just some
- ultra zoom mods are not banned? I thought they were as well
- the “destroyed object detector” is specifically listed as banned on RU server. Here, it is probably included within the minimap mods, but it wouldn’t hurt to add it
