Tank Men: The Story of the First Crews

Hello,

to celebrate the first tank attack in history The Tank Museum will be opening soon a new exhibition which focus on some of the pioneering tank soldiers, I know not all of you can visit the place but they have made a really interesting video (which I had the pleasure to preview last year) and uploaded its trailer on Youtube:

I emailed the museum straight ahead asking if they were going to release the whole video online for us because is such a good content to complement David Fletcher's Tank Chats and they answered that it will be available, in a sort of mini series.

This is what I wish Wargaming would do for EU and NA (like they do on RU) instead of just some poorly sourced/historical unacurate articles...

Have you been naughty or nice?

Hello,

On the Russian server, Wargaming is rewarding the players who havent been naughty (didnt receive reports) by giving them Personal Reserves. Its known that WG gives Westerners, who have been away from the game for some time(*), premium tanks but would be lovely if they started rewarding us with these as well.

Top of the Tree Update

Hello,

Some of you emailed me asking what had happened to the "Top of the Tree", the EU tier 10 discount will be coming back on the first of March with a new format.

-Instead of a new discount each 2 weeks the European server will be doing only one per month;
-The community (only for those with registered account) will have the power to vote on which vehicle they want to be featured;

• "The vehicles subject to voting in the polls will be restricted to 1 class per month. This means that, for example, in March you will be able to choose only from Tier X heavy tanks, then in April only tank destroyers or SPGs will be available, and later in May we will put just medium tanks up for a vote, and so forth.The vehicles subject to voting in the polls will be restricted to 1 class per month.

-Players who voted on the winning vehicle will be earning 2 special missions

BMP-2 Drills in Russia

Hello,

found this while doing a casual browsing around Russian pages, 2016 photos of BMP-2 drills from the Russian army that took place in the Mulino military training facility:

I like how they dont sit on their arses even when they have the weather keeping them safe from invasors, Ivan is smart to not underestimate global warming.
