Hello everyone,

well, this is a bit fail. Not sure how much of a fail, as this might yet be rectified, but if it stays…

I usually don’t deal with World of Warplanes, mostly because I don’t like aircraft games, as some of you know. Then again, this concerns everyone. You know, how the account is now unified and gold from WoWp transfers to WoT and vice versa, right?

Well, the US server has this amazing event called Airborne Challenge: play 350 battles from October 11 till the release (November 12 I think) and get 10k free gold to your account!

Surely the EU server gets the same event, right? Nope. We ain’t getting squat.

No free 10k gold for you, European capitalists!

Edit: Confirmed, this event is NOT planned for EU.

Edit 2: The American event was cancelled too. Sorry, western capitalists, no gold for you, you haven’t embraced the teachings of comrade Stalin enough!

I normally don’t put up “ads”, but this is special. Some guy is selling this ISU-152 for 2 million Rubles (cca 46000 Euro). That’s… quite a bargain I’d say. Apparently it was made in 1943 and has documentation. I wonder if it’s functional. Probably not.

Hello everyone,

so, I guess everyone reading this blog knows about the giftshop. You can buy tanks there and give them to someone else – not for gold, but for real money. So, that means the advertising there should be extra careful, right? Like… Wargaming EU should tell the truth about its products?

Oh, wait… that’s right. Wargaming EU. We have here some “special offers” for mid-October. Let’s disregard the fact that these offers are rarely profitable for players – here’s something that caught my eye:

“The tank’s additional side-skirts make it more resistant to explosive rounds, including artillery fire”

Hello everyone,

Storm kinda confirmed like 20 mins ago that the test will start tomorrow, not today.

Sorry, there’s always a risk of that happening, guys :)

Hello everyone,

another invite code, from rwc81 and Reszort (sorry mate, your mail ended in spam folder and I somehow missed it) and Jacek. Wojto94 donated too, but I gave that code away to a friend who wants to start WoT. Thanks to you all :)

PKR29M-58Z5K4

PKR29X-47T4R3

Made me laugh :) Enjoy!

The M4 Shermans in WoT at the moment are only armed with the classic 75 mm, the fast firing 76 mm guns, and the 105 mm howitzer. In lieu of foreign weaponry such as the 17 pdr or the French 105 mm, WG has already likely modeled a 90 mm armed M4 as seen below.

This particular vehicle, called the M4 90V by WG, was built in 1944 in order to have 90 mm armed tanks in order to give American tankers a weapon that could more easily defeat German armor. I have not found an official designation of this vehicle in my resources so I can only assume that WG’s name is acceptable.

Hello everyone,

today, we are going to have a look at the rest of the “leaked” vehicles.

First is obviously the “Brummbär“. It’s a notoriously known vehicle, and it has a relatively useful Wikipedia article, so I won’t go into too many details (will do that once the vehicle becomes actualy, which probably isn’t anytime soon).
