Murazor is well known and popular Russian blogger with very good info access. In his latest video, he confirmed, what you might have read earlier here:

If you have VK3001H in garage the moment 8.8 goes live, you will get your VK3001H tier 5 heavy tank with your original crew and you will get for free a VK3002M tier 6 medium tank with a free garage slot and a 100 percent crew.
概要肉翻: 如果8.8上线前,你车库有 VK3001H的话, 你将会在8.8上线后, 得到带着旧vk3001h车组的新5级重坦 VK3001H, 以及免费得到新的带着100%熟练度的6级 中坦 VK3002M

Which one is better, Object 140 or T-62A?

Hello everyone,

as some of you know, I am not exactly fond of Soviet tanks (I levelled up the T-54, but that’s about it), so I can’t really evaluate the Object 140′s performance, compared to the T-62. That’s why I am taking Edrard’sassessment and translating it to English. Edrard is the owner of wot-news and generally a good player, so I think his opinion counts in this. First, let’s have a look at Object 140′s armor and size, compared to the T-62A:

8.8 E-100 model change

Source:

A lot of people asked what the 8.8 model change of the E-100 is. Well, here’s a comparison, courtesy of Orkel

– the hull becomes a bit longer
– tracks are slightly moved (up and forward)

Minor changes that make no real difference, including
-tracks moved forward, protecting the LFP/side armor weak spot a bit better
-very slightly lower
-upper section of UFP is better angled now (?)

In the end, still no real difference, should play as usual.

Sniper Award bugged in 8.7

The point of the article linked above is that a player was complaining that the Sniper award he should have recieved. He wrote a support ticket and here’s what he got for answer:

“Currently there is a bug, in which ramming deprives the player of chance to recieve the award. The bug will be fixed in following patches.”
神炮手惊天大bug!: 又可以把淫家的神炮手撞掉了! 下个补丁修复!

So, there you have it, confirmed. Allegedly, this bug only occurs when ramming damage is dealt to friendlies, but this is not confirmed.

New “History” menu button

Hello everyone,

since the beginning, me and other posters have written a number of historical articles on various topics. Some, who’d otherwise be interested might have actually missed some of those, that’s why I added a new “History” button on the upper menu. By clicking on it, you’ll see a list of articles, sorted by nations.

I hope that it helps those, who are interested in the articles, to find what they were looking for and perhaps even the others to find the topics they want to know about.
