- for now, no tier 8 premium French medium tank has been found
- maximum speed buff for JT88? “We’ll see. We are very careful when taking decisions on premium tanks”

You will like this, guys!
Evilly (RU main community organizer):
- all the users, who had top engines on either E-75 or E-50 unlocked, will recieve 25000 free XP on their account in 8.8 (you will get this free XP even if the tank isn’t bought in the hangar, you will get free XP only for one, so even if you have both unlocked, you will get 25k, not 50k, because the engines were identical and they were unlocked once)
- ALL the engines that are unlocked, bought, installed on vehicles will be sold for the price they were purchased for when 8.8 goes live
- new top E-75/E-50 engines will be unlocked for those, who had previously the top engines unlocked
- Superpershing will be possible to sell for gold purchase price in 8.8
New tier 10 with bonus will be…
….T-62A.

E-75 terrain passability in Test 2
Hello everyone,
not much has changed from test 1 to test 2, but the E-75 did recieve the promised terrain passability buff:
Test 1 Stock Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,2/1,5/2,5
Test 1 Elite Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,1/1,4/2,3
Test 2 Stock Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,2/1,3/2,4
Test 2 Elite Tracks – Terrain resistance: 1,1/1,2/2,2
The rest remains the same.
T54E1 model change
Very simple here, the turret “neck” has been made slightly thicker. Strangely enough, the collision model shows no change.
Old:
M48 Errata
Just a quick update: today, I wrote in the Q&A session that M48 might get a buff. I was wrong, I misread one of the questions/answers. At this moment, no M48 buff is planned.
Sorry for that.
Superpershing armor change from Test 1 to Test 2
As mentioned in the patchnotes, the lower strip of very thick armor was prolonged. In Test 1 it looks like this:
8.8 test 2 changes (compared to test 1)
Since the EU and US portal updates lack this, here’s the list (some things I am not sure what they mean)
- fixed numerous bugs and fixed the lagging (crashing) of the new Service Record window
- fixed numerous bugs in the Missions window
- fixed the performance drop in the Missions window
- fixed some bugs in the Special battles window
- fixed some bugs in the Company battles window
Buff My Tank: T-26
Let’s take a look at a meek tier 2 light tank, the T-26. It never had much advantage over the BT-2, and since the advent of Pom-Pom autocannons and softer tier 2 TD matchmaking, it doesn’t have much going for it. Let’s see what historical resources exist for a buff!
First, the armament. The “top” gun on the T-26 is the 45 mm 20K, based on the 45 mm model 1932. This gun was installed on the tank in 1933, but the tank remained in service for over a decade after that. Let’s see what other armament options are available.
