Hello everyone,

the 3.0 version of the Winter Mod is out. In Christmas mood and not feeling like playing desert and green maps? No problem, this excellent mod will make all the maps and vehicles look like winter. This mod is 8.10 compatible.

Installation:

As usual – unpack the mod into the World of Tanks mod folder (res_mods – C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods for example), it’s compatible with 90 percent of all mods, but it doesn’t hurt to disable

Download:

Here directly – warning, the mod is HUGE (3,1GB)

Please note that this mode CAN cause reduced FPS, it is not recommended for very weak computers

Hello everyone,

some info about an interesting situation came up. Basically, on SEA (ASIA) server, Vietnamese players have the option to pay in Vietnamese currency (VND) – and the following happened:

Someone responsible for the shop in Wargaming made a decimal point mistake and set the price of a Lowe to 10721 VND, which is like 0,37 EUR. This bug is for VN players only and current fix ETA is unknown. Other tier 8′s have their prices wrong too.

Hello everyone,

you might have noticed I stopped posting invite codes. That’s because some (not all, but some definitely) invite codes EXPIRE and I don’t exactly know when (I think it’s simply on 1.1.2014 00:01) – I am grateful to everyone who submitted the invite codes recently, but please do not send the codes to me anymore for now, enjoy the holidays, we will start with codes again next year (with fresh sources).

For those who do want invite codes, they can always use the Alienware offer.

So, the Russians have a special trailer for the Japanese tanks :) Yes, Japanese tanks fight monster and giant robots (there are even tentacles, all that’s missing are schoolgirls).

 

 
It’s a bit of an “eastern” thing, as one Russian player on US server recently mentioned – those of us, who were born in the Warsaw Pact countries might remember the pirated copies of American movies with impassive Russian (or in my case Czech) voiceover over the original sound, this sounds exactly like it – a blast from the past.

This is a video of a military event in Bastogne. You can see some classic American tech on the video, as well as some not as common vehicles. Can you name them?

Hello everyone,

this is just a line of thinking about why World of Tanks armor, War Thunder damage model and all the things that these games have in common and all the things they are different in. Please note that this is my personal opinion, that I am not only not forcing on you, I fully admit I could be wrong – up to you, whether you agree with me or not.

First and foremost, no matter how much ANY producer brags about realism or historicity (some stuff in War Thunder German tree still makes me chuckle, but then again, Waffenträger E-100 is a complete fake), both World of Tanks and War Thunder are arcade games. From that title alone it is relatively pointless to talk about some realism, when you watch the vehicles from 3rd person and have literally a sniper mode in both games. And that’s fine – they are games after all, meant for as wide audience as possible. This however means one thing: in this case, too much realism doesn’t help, it hurts.

As you might have noticed, War Thunder developer Gaijin recently released two posts about the War Thunder tanks armor model. The articles are available here (part 1) and here (part 2). The only notice I’d have here is this: the translation into English is shit and I had to switch to Russian two times to figure out what exactly is meant. Please, Gaijin, next time you publish stuff in English, don’t act like Wargaming EU and don’t use google translate.

Hello everyone,

it’s good day to have a Micromaus (Panzer H38) or its regular “brother”, the H35. Why? Well…
