Here it is:
-9.7 test will start later today;
-9.7 will bring the IS-3 in HD after all;
-The changes in BigWorld in 9.7 are mostly internal, they won't be noticed by players apart from perhaps some small performance improvement;
-More big news for World of Tanks will be announced after 9.7 comes live;
-The Overlord map is very historical, the mapmakers made a trip to Normandy to study the architecture and environment there in details;
-It's possible that 0.9.7 will bring some buffs and some nerfs;
-The option for players to select which map they want to play in random battles will not be implemented (RG: should be more select the ones we don't want, map rotation tends to give a overdose of the same maps way too frequently).

IS-3 in HD
So today I've shown you a IS-3 made of snow, now it's time for a HD IS-3, a highly requested model from the RU forum community, this is the only print-screen available so far but damn, it looks fine.
Matilda Restoration, a pensioner hobby.
Meanwhile at Australia, there is a entire team of men aged from their mid 60s to early 70s restoring "Ace", a 70 year old Matilda.
Apparently for these former soldiers, passing their pension time at the garden playing domino wasn't enough, for a few days a week, they crawl into the tank carcass despite their bad knees and only stopping for doctor consults.

AW presents: BMP-2 Armored Fighting Vehicle
Meanwhile at Obsidian lands,
Armored Warfare is happy to present their latest vehicle, the BMP-2, one of the most known Russian infantry fighting vehicles.
This beauty will be a tier 4 IFV and its main job will be reconnaissance but with its automatic cannon it can give a fight against lightly armored vehicles like lights tanks and artillery and its anti-tank guided missile system can make any enemy on the battlefield squeal. Also, you can equip smoke grenade launchers in it to escape like a ninja!

Russian Men trend!
Seems like due to games like World of Tanks Russian men have sparkled a new interest, in the back yards across different Russian cities hundreds of "snow tanks" have been spotted, some are quite elaborate, will be showing my favorites but there are plenty more in the source link:

French Fortress Tank
In 1928, French general Etienne started a development program for a special type of vehicle, called Fortress Tank (Char de Forteresse), that was supposed to weight from 45 to 55 tons. The main idea was to create a heavily armored and armed vehicle, that would help fortify the Maginot line.
Company FCM was tasked with the project. In 1932, after several schematic proposals that looked just like raw outlines, the FCM engineers developed a proposal for a vehicle called Char BB. This 50 ton tank had 60mm of armor and was armed with a pair of 75mm guns with two machine-gun mini-turrets on the top. It was supposed to be propelled by a 600hp engine. Since the guns were protruding so much from the front, the developers had to add a "bumper" roller to the front as well to compensate for the weight distribution - this roller could also in emergency serve as a mine-clearing device.

Swedish Tanks - Part XXII: UDES
Author: sp15
Hi everyone, you may remember me from FTR as the guy who wrote the Swedish tanks series of articles. Well I’m glad to announce that they will continue here at Status Report, and I’m kicking them off with a recent find that may or may not be relevant for WoT.
In the early 70s the Swedish army set up several research groups to develop and propose concepts for new AFV's and anti-tank weapons.
The most important of these research groups was UDES short for research group direct fire combat vehicle (translated from Swedish). This group was led by Sven Berge, the engineer behind the S-tank who was working at the Swedish defense material administration which was in charge of the project.
