The Japanese photoshop masters managed to get rid of annoying watermark to bring you an improved picture of the STB-1 model. Please note that the colors were added for artistic purpose only, they don’t mean anything, it’s just like “how would this vehicle look”.

- when roaming is implemented, you will get bonuses from your native server’s events (Europeans will get EU server weekend bonuses for example even if they roam to Russian server) in order to prevent “event tourism”

Hello everyone,

in 8.9, the garage format and special effects were changed, causing older hangars (like the one for 15th Anniversary) to not work.

Here, you can download the reworked hangar version for 8.9, thanks to Russian players, who converted it. Please note that the annoying fireworks were disabled in this version.

Storm’s microdigest

Hello everyone,

Storm is writing another of his short posts on what the game developers managed to do (earlier posts included the recent one about Lowe buff and the one about 8.9 crashes). Overall he is not happy about the last posts’ feedback (there were a lot of rude people in the comments), but he will continue to bring these insights nonetheless (appreciated!)

Currently:

- developers managed to fix the old and annoying issue with tank silhouettes not displaying properly when you are hidden behind/watching the target from behind another destroyed/live tank
- developers continue to deal with the crashes in 8.9, Storm states that 99,9 percent of them are connected with mods and the remaining percentage doesn’t exceed the usual crash rate in any patch, in connection with various reasons for various players: drivers, other software, hardware issues etc. – nevertheless, the developers will continue to work on finding patterns in non-mod crashes and the reasons for them

British light tank summary

Hello everyone,

a quick summary of possible British light tanks by Listy. Just so you know what is there.

In the post war period the one area of British tank design that saw a lot of development was light tanks. Being relativity cheap and easy to produce even individual companies would develop projects in the hope of finding a buyer. Some of the Designs were eccentric at best. Some were just test beds, but some made it to service. In World of Tanks the flaws of some of the odder designs (such as maintenance or crew overwork) are notreflected for ease of play, and would thus give the UK light tank tree a very interesting feel.

Wargaming buys a 30 percent share in a bank

Source: Cyprus Property News server
Thanks to “grekios” for letting me know.

Some of you guys might have read the earlier post about Wargaming wanting to buy a bank share on Cyprus.

Well, they did. Wargaming bought a 30 percent share of the Hellenic Bank for 40 mil. Euro. An American hedge fund Third Point bought another 30 percent for 40 mil. Euro and 15 percent was bought for 20 mil. Euro by a Cypriot investment company Demetra.

More details in English in the article, if you are interested. So, I wonder what else is on V.Kislyi’s shopping list. I can imagine it looking like that:
