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.
