Summary:

Russian Ministry of Defense started organizing a tank-based competition of crew and gunnery tank skills. So far, it’s only a Russian event, but by 2014, NATO and US Army are expected to join.

The basic idea behind the tank contest is simple and repeats the rules of the classic biathlon: cover about 20km in shortest time while successfully hitting your targets.

More details and pictures in the linked article. However, one thing is very interesting: the official MOD video (check the music, familiar?)

Check out the newest Chieftain’s Hatch, guys – deicated to the 75mm/76mm Sherman

Also, for those of you interested in Clan stuff, check out this site called wotclans.net, that shows Clan rating and other stuff.

And there is also Listy’s new article from the Great War…

- 8.8 will bring an interesting feature: players, who lose the battle, but get one of the medals or achievements in the game (you know, sniper, steel wall and all those others) will get the same amout of credits and XP, as if he won!
- according to The_Chieftain, there might be a second Stalin-style “affair” incoming next week:
Q: “The whole Stalin rage came from one incident, raged for a few days, got largely doused by three days of free premium account and unless somehow rekindled (and WG would have to be braindead to poke in this again), it’s not going to reappear on any large scale.”
A: “Yeah, about that…. I think they’re going to poke again next week.”

Hello everyone, today, we are going to try something new. We have an article here from CaptainNemo about USS Alaska. Now, I am not into ships that much, but I think it’s really cool and I am looking forward to trying World of Warships, so – why the hell not. Enjoy!

Hall of Shame Special Edition – Scammer!

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

today, we have a very special edition of the Hall of Shame, because a player named MakoSV managed to catch an account scammer in action and took screenies to prove it. So, everyone, meet:

Hokej83 from clan [CAK] C. a k. 1.Dragounský pluk

This guy whispers to players and tries to convince them to give him their password, so he can “hack Wargaming and add gold to their account”. Needless to say, that’s retarded, but newbies/kids might actually fall for that. Here we can see him in action:

Podvod 1

Translation from Czech:

Hokej83: Are you here?
MakoSV: Hi, yes
Hokej83: Do you want 999 gold and 1 000 0000 silver on your account
MakoSV: Will you send them to me? :)
Hokej83: I have 100 000 gold and 6 mil silver if you want for your accout
Hokej83: No, I have to “hack” them if you want, it’s for free
MakoSV: How?
Hokej83: You have to give your account to me, I already did that with 6 players and they thank me a lot
Hokej83: maus01 miskas333 already thanked me and it’s cool

Hello everyone,

today, we are going to have a look at what will happen to the VK3001H in patch 8.8.

3001H

But first, in order to explain the logic behind WG’s decision, we have to have a look at the history of the VK3001H. Some very basic info can be found on the World of Tanks wiki page – the data written in the article are unfortunately quite incorrect.
