World of Tanks - The King Tiger in Action!

My very own King Tiger in action. Hopefully the recording quality is good enough, my first real recording with my new machine and I'm no good at editing! More videos to follow if this one gets a lot of thumbs up :)

The KV Tank: A Guide to...

The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV series were known for their extremely heavy armour protection during the early war, especially during the first year of the invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. Almost completely immune to the 7.5 cm KwK 37 and 3.7 cm KwK 36 guns mounted on the early Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks, until better guns were developed often the only way to defeat a KV was a point-blank shot to the rear. Prior to the invasion, about 500 of the over 22,000 tanks in Soviet service at the time were of the KV-1 type. When the KV-1 appeared, it outclassed the French Char B1,^[1] the only heavy tank used in the world at that time. Yet in the end it turned out that there was little sense in producing the expensive KV tanks, as the T-34 medium tank performed better (or at least equally) in all practical respects. Later in the war, the KV series have become a base of development of the excellent Iosif Stalin tanks.

Review: World of Tanks

Back in October I brought you an article, Tank You, World of Tanks :), which introduced you all to a new free-to-play MMO which was in Closed Beta Testing at the time. The game was released on April 12th and of course, I have given it a thoroughly good thrashing to bring you a review.

Taking a look at what the new patch notes really mean Pt 3

To wrap up the patch notes review, I am taking a look at the changes to the US tanks. I apologise for the delay in posting these thoughts but I have had a few real life issues to tie up and sort out which has delayed this feature.

Taking a look at what the new patch notes really mean Pt 2

Yesterday I took a look at the v.0.6.2.4 patch notes and pointed out a few points of interest which focused on the change in HE mechanics, certain scout tank changes and some of the specific changes to German tanks.

Today I will be taking a closer look at some of the big additions, the small changes and the changes to Russian tanks and equipment.

Check out my other World of Tanks previews and guides. 

The mighty American Heavy Tanks are too mighty?

The standing joke in World of Tanks right now is how weak the American tanks are. With guns that are low penetration, low damage with fast reload speed being their only positive offensive point and subpar armour protection on the hull... could they possibly nerf these tanks even further?

The T29 Heavy Tank is one of the tanks being nerfed - Why?
