Funnily enough there's a 'Tanks' program about the Sturmgeschütz on the History Channel now. Seems they made about 11,000 of them, as they were very effective and cheaper to make than turreted tanks. Stugs had knocked out 33,000 enemy tanks by the end of the war. Not as 'glamorous' as the infamous Tigers and Panthers, but an impressive ratio.
That's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, I love your Tiger feet!
The Golden Joystick awards are coming up and wargaming.net are promising some very nice (bribes) bonuses to the WoT community if you vote for World of Tanks as best MMO of the year and it wins!!!
Details on the bonuses are here.
World of Tanks has now been updated to version 8.0 a major release. Significant graphical updates and physics! You can now fall off edges and push the enemy over ledges. Lots of extra detail in battle performance, you can see how your compare to the rest of your team.
The release notes are here and there's a little thank you bonus that runs until 5.00am Tuesday details are here.
What I don't like in this update is that the Tech Tree is now horizontal and scrollable. The previous tech tree was all on one screen. Don't like that aspect but the rest of it is still great fun.
Greetings tankers! World of Tanks has won the best MMO at the 2012 Golden Joystick awards. That means good news for us! They promised goodies if they won and they have now announced the following.
50% off equipment is very yummy along with the 5x first victory bonus. Really looking forward to version 8.1 as finally the British Tanks will appear. They are also experimenting with the purchase of premium ammo using regular credits. It will be interesting to see what they release.
Any way, start saving your credits for the sale next weekend! Have fun.
