I generally ignore interviews, but this is pretty interesting (with emphasis on pretty :P) – a Belarussian portal tech.onliner.bu made an interview with Olga “Ola” Sergeevna.

- too many shots damaging the engine on A-44? “Don’t play A-44″
- apparently, AMX 50/100 was not changed to have its turret weaker (SS: a player is complaining about too many crits)
- the statistic of each player’s tanks currently in hangar won’t be disclosed
- in new player statistics, draws count as losses, because “a draw is a loss – the goal of the game was not completed” and “well, we don’t encourage camping”
French guns on German tanks
Hello everyone,
today, we are going to have a look at one interesting conversion in detail, the 7,5 cm PaK 97/38 auf T-26(r).
As you might have guessed, it’s the 75mm PaK 97/38 on a T-26 hull. As an improvised tank destroyer, it was moderately successful, but let’s have a look at the gun first.
WG EU post gone
Small update: Edrard asked me to remove the WG EU mocking post and I did, since I do respect him. You can find a copy of the original post on the FTR FB wall (just click the FB button on the upper bar).

PS: will leave comments opened, but out of respect for Edrard, please do NOT copy the post into them.
Hall of Shame – Exnom edition
Warning: this post is very picture heavy
You know what time it is :) It’s another Hall of Shame time, showcasing the worst retards of World of Tanks.
So, there is this clan Exn0m, whose members appear on Hall of Shame regularily – must be a really fun clan to be in, with such retards. But don’t worry, there are other idiots too.
Also, I removed the Hall of Shame from the upper menu. There is no need to keep this shit archived – it’s enough these morons get called out.

- the developers discussed and rejected the idea of hiding player stats (“there would be more disadvantages than advantages”)
- Q: “Please, can you tell me which religion forbids the devs to make the disabling of the chat in game possible?” A:”Pastafarianism”
- it’s possible there will be no arties at all in historical battles
- the reason the Japanese tankers have sort of American-ish names (ranks) is the same as for the Chinese tankers: 99.9 percent of the players outside of Chinese server wouldn’t be able to read the “hieroglyphs”
This is how WG plays airsoft…
…and where your money goes :)
WG developer visited the largest airsoft event in Alabino and “brought back a lot of impressions”
Panther ultimate evolution – Panther Ausf.F
Hello everyone,
there seems to be a lot of confusion about the Panther and its historical properties. Partially, it’s because it’s such a legendary machine and partially simply because it’s German and – for some reason – over the decades since the WW2, numerous hoaxes, legends or simply confusions sprang up about the possible Panther upgrades.
Panther Ausführung F (Ausf.F or Panther F) was to be the ultimate evolution program for the Panther vehicle. Its prominent feature was supposed to be the Schmalturm (narrow turred) depicted above (however, the picture does NOT show Panther Ausf.F, it’s a regular Ausf.G hull with second version of Schmalturm with S.Z.F.1/1b targetting device).
IS-3 historical turret armor

Hello everyone,
something interesting from Yuri Pasholok’s blog. Some of you might have asked where did the changed IS-3 armor scheme come from. Well, it was based on the following drawings – 1945 production series IS-3 armor schematics from Plant No.200
