World of Tanks T28 Action: Tier 8 Tank Destroyer

The T28 might be a slow and ponderous tank and the armour on the front of the beast may not be as impressive as you might assume when you read 254mm, but it is a very capable tank and enjoyable to play when you have reasonable support from your team or the enemy is just shellshocked by your presence.

Your Guide to the M26 Pershing - US Tier 9 Medium

The Heavy Tank M26 Pershing was an American heavy tank used in World War II briefly and in the Korean War. It was named after General John Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Force in Europe in World War I.

Development of the M26 during World War II was prolonged by a number of factors, the most important being opposition to the tank from Army Ground Forces (AGF). As a result, only the initial 20 M26 (T26E3) tanks deployed to Europe in January 1945 saw combat in World War II.^[1] The M26 and its improved derivative, the M46 Patton, both saw more combat in Korea. The M26 was underpowered and mechanically unreliable and so was withdrawn from Korea in 1951, in favor of the M46, which had a more powerful engine.^[2] The lineage of the M26 continued with the M47 Patton, and was reflected in the new designs of the later M48 Patton and M60 Combat Tank.

World of Tanks releases first Newsletter!

A cry of celebration erupted today in World of Tanks when a member of staff by the name of MrVic presented the Forums with the very first WoT Newsletter!!! This was quickly followed by the questions asked by people who did not bother to read the full list of announcements in there.

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?

Will you be pushing for the Pershing?

Over on the WoT forums Overlord, a Developer, has announced that they have been working hard to bring us the M26 Pershing, a Tier 9 American Medium Tank. An iconic American tank alongside the Sherman, it will surely be a fans favourite and give the T-44 a run for it's money!
